Seeing this, Xu Ye and Chen MO did not say anything more. They bade farewell to Xia Wan and promised that they would look for her after they were done with their work.
Not long after, customers came to buy clothes. They were three young girls, and they were happy to see the clothes Xia Wan had displayed. They couldn’t help but praise, “I didn’t believe it when Xiaoli showed it to me yesterday. I didn’t expect the clothes here to look so good. Boss, how much for these?”
Xia Wan introduced the prices to them enthusiastically and told them that the clothes they bought could be used to accumulate points, which could be used to exchange for gifts.
The three picked out some clothes and were very interested in Xia Wan’s so-called points and gifts. “Boss, you said you’ll give us gifts with points. What will you give us? Can I take a look?” one of them asked.
“I haven’t bought anything yet. I’m planning to buy some accessories that go with my clothes, such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, scarves, and so on. Of course, I’ll also take into account that some people prefer practical things, so I’ll also buy some cups.”
The three of them nodded. “We look forward to your gifts.”
After the three of them, a few more waves of customers came. They were basically recommended by the customers who had come to buy clothes yesterday. They mainly wanted to help recommend Xia Wan and help with the points.
They were busy until noon. Xia Wan and Xia Feng were both covered in sweat, but they were both satisfied.
Perhaps it was because it was time to eat, but not many people came to buy clothes at this time, and the two of them could finally rest for a while.
“You’ve worked hard. I’ve brought you two small stools. Sit down and rest for a while.” A voice was heard. Xia Wan looked toward the source of the voice and saw Zhao Jin.
Seeing Xia Wan looking at him, Zhao Jin was a little embarrassed. He took the initiative to explain, “It’s not that uncle Zhao doesn’t care about you. It’s just that Brother Tiger is from the underworld. Many of his men have lost their lives. Uncle Zhao’s family also has old and young people. I really can’t control him.”
Xia Wan’s mood was a little complicated. If she were Zhao Jin, she would not go against Brother Tiger for two strangers knowing how dangerous they were. However, Zhao Jin could have warned them in advance or asked someone else to remind them. Closing the door was akin to admitting that Brother Tiger was bullying them.
Xia Wan’s silence made Zhao Jin nervous. He thought Xia Wan would understand him after he explained, but it turned out that she didn’t. He really couldn’t apologize. After all, he was old, and it was not right to apologize to a junior.
Xia Wan could see Zhao Jin’s dilemma and knew that Zhao Jin was already doing a good job. She took the initiative and said, “Uncle Zhao, I understand what you’re doing. If I were your family, I wouldn’t want my father to do such a
dangerous thing. You’ve said it yourself. Your family has been running a shop here, and Brother Tiger is a local tyrant. If you help me, he’ll find trouble with you in the future, and your shop won’t be able to continue.
“I just hope that if something like this happens again in the future, Uncle Zhao, you can tell me in advance so I can be mentally prepared. Of course, that’s on the premise that it doesn’t involve you.”
Seeing that Xia Wan was so open-minded, Zhao Jin smiled. “Okay, Uncle Zhao will remember this. I will help you keep an eye out.”
Speaking of this, Zhao Jin looked a little conflicted. Xia Wan saw that he had something to say, so she said directly, “If you has anything to say, just say it directly. If we have anything to say, we can communicate openly. Only by being candid can we avoid misunderstandings.
Zhao Jin saw Xia Wan’s attitude and said, “I’ve already received the latest news. Brother Tiger and the others have been taken care of by the police. I heard that the people who have been covering for fim have also been taken care of by the higher-ups. I also heard that the reason Brother Tiger was taken care of was because of the person who sent them in.” “Wanwan, I heard that those two are your friends?”
Xia Wan nodded. “I guess so. We’re just friends.”
Xia Wan still did not know what Zhao Jin’s motive was for saying these things. Was he hoping to get Chen MO and Xu Ye’s help or something else?
Hence, she did not plan to say too much. Even though she was now in a semi-cooperative relationship with Zhao Jin, Xia Wan did not trust him completely after what he had done to avoid her..
