The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Upon hearing Fan Lizhen’s words, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but think of Fang Chan when she was little.

Back then, his sister was still very adorable and always liked to follow behind him. Her soft and cute appearance could melt anyone’s heart. But as she grew up, she stopped following him around, and they slowly became estranged. Especially after he married Yang Liu, his sister became even colder towards them, and she wasn’t nice to Liu’er either. Naturally, he wouldn’t have a good attitude towards this sister.

"A Cheng, are you listening? I’m telling the truth."

Seeing her son didn’t respond, Fan Lizhen couldn’t help raising her voice slightly.

Fang Cheng came back to his senses and said lightly, "Are you mistaken? How could Fang Chan be poisoned? Do you think we’re in ancient times, getting poisoned?"

Despite saying this, Fang Cheng actually believed it in his heart. After all, Liu’er had been poisoned before, and since Yiyi could cure those poisons that no famous doctors could cure, it’s as if poisoning Fang Chan wouldn’t be a big deal. However, Fang Chan was indeed wrong in the past, so Fang Cheng didn’t have much opinion on Yiyi.

But Fan Lizhen was greatly angered upon hearing her son’s words.

"A Cheng, don’t you believe what I’m saying? The master I invited is very skilled. If she says Xiao Chan is poisoned, then she must be poisoned. Furthermore, the hospital found nothing, yet Xiao Chan’s weakness and inability to move were real, which means she was indeed poisoned."

Fang Cheng replied calmly, "Even if Fang Chan was poisoned, it’s her own fault. Who asked her to hit people for no reason?"

"Fang Cheng..."

Hearing this, Fan Lizhen was enraged.

"Xiao Chan is your sister, yet you not only don’t help her, but you also support outsiders. Don’t forget, your surname is Fang."

"Mom, since you know my surname is Fang, how have you treated Liu’er then? Knowing Liu’er is my wife, yet you treat her colder than outsiders. Did you ever think about my feelings?"

When her son mentioned that thorny daughter-in-law again, Fan Lizhen couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Fang Cheng, back then I arranged for you a match from a family of equal standing, yet you insisted on a woman that was nothing. Did you ever think about our feelings? You went against me and your father first, and you still want us to welcome her with open arms?"

After hearing his mother’s words, Fang Cheng didn’t think twice and hung up directly.

"Fang Cheng..."

Listening to the ’beep beep...’ on the other end of the line, Fan Lizhen was so angered that she smashed the phone, but soon felt some regret. She was supposed to ask Fang Cheng for help today, but upon hearing the mention of Yang Liu, she couldn’t control her temper.

Taking a deep breath, she finally suppressed her anger and planned to call her son again later.

On the other side, Yang Liu saw Fang Cheng hang up the phone and couldn’t help but ask, "A Cheng, who called?"

"Just business matters."

Ever since marrying Yang Liu and becoming estranged from the family, he ventured into business, even giving up his stable job. Fortunately, he had a natural talent for it, and his career grew bigger and bigger. Now, people no longer refer to him as Young Master Fang but directly as Mr. Fang, which was an acknowledgment of his own abilities.

Yang Liu heard it was business, so she didn’t ask further.

Elsewhere, Ding Yuejun and her daughter organized their things and took a nap before preparing dinner.

"Yiyi, you’re starting school the day after tomorrow, so make sure to keep working hard."

Her daughter performed well in this final exam, giving Ding Yuejun confidence that her daughter had a good chance of getting into medical school.

Upon hearing her mother, Yiyi replied with a smile, "Mom, don’t worry. I’ll definitely study hard. Now that Teacher Yang teaches us English, my English grades have improved significantly. As long as I keep working hard, I’m sure I can improve even more."

"Good, mom believes in you."

With a smile across her face, Ding Yuejun encouraged her daughter to eat more vegetables.

After dinner, Yiyi shared her thoughts, "Mom, I think you could open a clothing store yourself."

"What..."

Hearing her daughter, Ding Yuejun was surprised, "Why did this idea suddenly come up?"

"Mom, the two qipaos you embroidered sold for such high prices this time, which proves your embroideries are worth a lot. So you could open a custom clothing store, just like Boss Wu’s order. You can make clothes when orders come in, and otherwise, slowly create sample pieces for others to see the styles, making choices easier."

"You’re suggesting I open a store like this? But if orders are numerous, I wouldn’t manage alone. I don’t know if people would wait such a long time."

Seeing her mother’s concerns, Yiyi chimed in, "Mom, we can hire a few tailors then. Simple parts can be done by them, and the embroidery you complete."

Thinking about the fees received this time, Ding Yuejun found her daughter’s idea quite good.

"Alright, then let’s open a clothing store."

After the mother and daughter agreed, they started searching for a suitable location the next day.

But finding a venue wasn’t easy; too small felt inadequate, too large seemed wasteful.

"Mom, let’s buy a store directly."

Considering the soaring property prices later, Yiyi felt buying a property early was the right move.

Ding Yuejun hesitated, "If we buy a property, there won’t be enough money left for fabrics then." For well-made qipaos, fine fabrics were essential, and certainly not cheap.

"Mom, don’t worry about that. The pharmacy is making money now, so we’ll definitely have enough to buy a store."

After hesitating a while, Ding Yuejun agreed. Though at first, she felt uncomfortable using her daughter’s money, they were mother and daughter and didn’t need such clear boundaries, especially since future earnings were for her daughter.

When Mo Ping learned about Yiyi’s plan to buy a store, his eyes lit up, suggesting, "Little boss, I heard the courtyard next to our pharmacy is for sale, and it’s quite affordable. How about there?"

"Next to our pharmacy? I think it’s a siheyuan, right?"

"Yes, it’s the siheyuan. The family is eager to go abroad, so they’re offering a very low price but need full payment immediately."

Thinking about the siheyuan next door, Yiyi was instantly tempted. She remembered it as a family heirloom with a grand exterior and wonderful layout. No idea why they would consider selling it, but if they had enough money, she definitely wanted to buy it, "Let’s go see it now."
