Wei Nian's shop was close to Chen Xuan and Wei Yin's shop, so Sun Yan usually went to this shop to replenish her stock. She sold so many furs today, especially the top-grade mink furs, which was quite a lot. Wei Nian even sent a clerk to deliver them to Sun Yan. When she got home in the evening and talked about this, Chen Xuan said, "It was Madam Wen who ordered the goods. She was the lady who was with Madam Wen at the salon last time. We met her at the Six Nations Hotel for breakfast that day. Do you remember her, Brother Nian?"
Wei Nian remembered, "I remember. Didn't I tell you that they let us pass at the church gate? But why did that lady go to your store? I think she was going to a high-end store in Dong'an Market."
"Brother Anian, do you still remember Miss Wen?"
"Is it the lady who sat with you in the salon for half a day and seemed particularly difficult to get along with?" Wei Nian asked.
"Didn't Miss Wen come over last time? Miss Wen is Mr. Rong's aunt's cousin. She came to our shop because she heard that we were the general agent of Mr. Rong's cosmetics brand. Miss Wen came yesterday, and today Mrs. Wen came. I heard from Mrs. Wen that Miss Wen is going to study at Peking University." Chen Xuan did not hide it from Wei Nian, "Mrs. Wen talked to me a lot. Brother Anian, how strange it is that we have not met Mrs. Wen a few times in total."
"Mrs. Wen, I think she has a good personality and should be someone who is easy to get along with."
Chen Xuan had to admit, "Mrs. Wen is easy to get along with." She couldn't figure out something, so she poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Wei Nian, asking him, "Brother Nian, do you think that the stepdaughter bought a fox fur for her stepmother with good intentions or not?"
Wei Nian nearly choked to death on a mouthful of water and started coughing repeatedly. Chen Xuan quickly patted Wei Nian on the back and wiped his mouth with a towel. Wei Nian asked her, "Are you trying to make me laugh on purpose?"
"No, I'm really a little unsure, so I asked you that." Chen Xuan took the shaking cup from Wei Nian's hand and put it back on the small table, saying, "What are you choking on?"
Wei Nian laughed loudly, and then said, "Oh, whose daughter is this? Oh, she can really do that."
"It was Miss Wen." Chen Xuan said, "The fox fur that our store sold yesterday was bought by her, a whole piece. I thought she bought it to make clothes for herself, but unexpectedly, she gave it to Madam Wen. Today I found out that Madam Wen is not Miss Wen's biological mother. I used to think they were mother and daughter."
"It's obvious that Miss Wen doesn't have a good temper, but she can really do it." Wei Nian found it quite funny, "Mrs. Wen is not a simple person either. Of course, Miss Wen doesn't have a good temper either." He couldn't help but shook his head and asked Chen Xuan, "What is Mrs. Wen doing here, returning the fox skin?" He laughed again.
"No." After Wei Nian said this, Chen Xuan confirmed that the relationship between Madam Wen and Miss Wen should not be as good as Madam Wen showed. Chen Xuan said, "I'm going to say it, Brother Nian, you can't believe it. When I heard Madam Wen say that she and Miss Wen were stepmother and daughter, I felt that it was not a good idea to give fox fur as a gift. If a person is narrow-minded, he will be angry to death. Madam Wen came here today, and I didn't see that she was angry at all. She didn't return the fox fur and bought a lot of fur. Madam Wen said that fox fur is not good for making scarves, and she wanted to make a shawl, so one fur is not enough, so she came here to buy another one. All the furs today were bought by her."
Wei Nian sighed, "Her family is a wealthy family. If we go there more often, our store will be prosperous."
Chen Xuan glared at him and said, "Mrs. Wen will be returning to Nanjing tomorrow."
"There are so many high-ranking officials in Nanjing. It's possible that her family is an official. Her husband's demeanor is not an ordinary person."
"But you say, how strange it is. Madam Wen actually said that if there is a chance, let me be friends with Miss Wen."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Wei Nian commented casually, "As for her daughter, I'm not saying that she's arrogant. It's fine for us to do business with her, but we should avoid dealing with her in normal times. If you deal with a spoiled young lady like that, and you're so good-tempered, you'll obviously suffer a loss." When doing business and greeting customers, Wei Nian didn't say anything, but this was different from normal dealings. Wei Nian himself was not the kind of person who would flatter, and he was even more reluctant to let Chen Xuan deal with a young lady with a bad temper. If for no other reason, Wei Nian was worried that Chen Xuan would be bullied.
Chen Xuan smiled, "I didn't agree. I feel that we are not the same kind of people as their family. Besides, Miss Wen is interested in Mr. Rong, so this is a bit of a detour."
"If you are interested in Mr. Rong, you should go to Shanghai to study. It's close to Shanghai. What's the point of going to Beijing to study? It's a long way from Shanghai. " Although Wei Nian often called Rong Yang a fox behind his back, he actually respected Rong Yang very much. "Don't say anything nonsense. The Wen family doesn't look like a family that is easy to mess with. Mr. Rong is a relative of his family. It's not good if this word gets out."
"This is what Madam Wen said herself."
"You are too realistic. You just said that it was not very friendly for Miss Wen to give fox fur to Madam Wen." Wei Nian has experience in dealing with people, and he analyzed it carefully for Chen Xuan, "This Miss Wen has the temperament of a young lady. For such a person, you don't need to care too much as long as you are careful not to let her think of it and fight to the death. She has a temper but no brains."
"Although Mrs. Wen looks good-tempered and polite, without the slightest bit of overbearing attitude, she must have said a lot of caring words to you about Miss Wen, right?" Wei Nian asked.
Chen Xuan nodded repeatedly, "Brother Anian, you guessed it right."
"This is exactly what makes Madam Wen so powerful. She doesn't care about Miss Wen giving her fox fur. Such a person, no matter what, is a thousand times more cunning than Miss Wen. Even you said that Madam Wen treats people well." Wei Nian said, "This Miss Wen is just a fool. After all, stepmother is an elder. It's better to be tolerable on the surface. A lady like this who gave stepmother fox fur for no reason, no wonder she went to college in Beijing? Maybe that's what Madam Wen meant. Which stepmother wants to see a stepdaughter who gave her fox fur hanging around her."
"But Madam Wen said that it was Miss Wen herself who wanted to go to university in Beijing."
"Just listen to Madam Wen's words, there's no need to believe them all. If she said that Miss Wen is interested in Mr. Rong, it's obviously false, and it doesn't make sense logically. As for whether Miss Wen is willing to go to university in Beijing, even if it was Miss Wen who proposed it herself, think about it, Beijing is so far away from Nanjing, which is exactly what Madam Wen wants, and it will only benefit her. No matter who says this kind of annoying stepdaughter, the farther away she is, the better, out of sight, out of mind." Wei Nian said.
Chen Xuan frowned and thought for a while, and felt that what Wei Nian said was more profound than she thought.
Chen Xuan said, "I didn't realize that Madam Wen was so resourceful. When she talked to me, I really felt that she was a very good and knowledgeable person. You don't know that Miss Wen just got divorced. At the beginning, Miss Wen was studying in the United States, but she interrupted her studies to go home and get married. Now that she is divorced, it was Madam Wen who suggested that she continue to go to college. Madam Wen said that if a child comes from a poor family, there is only one way to go in life, and that is the road to success. But children from a good family are confused because there are too many paths to choose from in life. She hopes that Miss Wen can find the goal of life in the process of continuing to study."
Chen Xuan said, "That's such a great thing to say."
"That's right. It makes Miss Wen look even more ungrateful." Wei Nian said, and then sneered, "If it was Madam Wen's idea for Miss Wen to continue studying, then Miss Wen is indeed ungrateful."
The couple talked about some gossip about the stepmother and daughter of the Wen family, but Wei Nian didn't take it to heart at all. After all, the Wen family looked like the kind of family that he couldn't marry into.
However, Chen Xuan took the time to ask Qin Shu about the Wen family.
Qin Shu thought for a moment and said, "The Wen family sounds somewhat familiar."
"There is a Miss Wen Yaying, who is said to be Mr. Rong's aunt's cousin." After Chen Xuan said this, Qin Shu knew, "I know, yes, yes, no wonder I couldn't remember it just now. The Wen family you are talking about is not from Shanghai. Mr. Wen's family lives in Nanjing and works in the Nanjing government. I have been to Nanjing with my father before, and I have participated in the Wen family's dance. I have only met Miss Wen once, but Mrs. Wen, that lady's figure and temperament are amazing. I am not saying that even those socialites in Shanghai, when they reach Mrs. Wen's age, may not have Mrs. Wen's temperament. Second sister-in-law, have you seen Mrs. Wen? She is very elegant."
"I saw him last time at Mr. Wen's salon."
"Oh, if I hadn't had classes that day, I would have definitely gone. If I had gone, I would have been able to meet Mrs. Wen." Qin Shu was extremely regretful.
Chen Xuan smiled, "We just happened to meet last time."
Qin Shu also asked Chen Xuan about Madam Wen's current appearance and temperament. Hearing that Madam Wen was still the same as before, he couldn't help but feel more yearning. Chen Xuan also said, "Madam Wen is a very nice person."
After a pause, Chen Xuanfang said, "It's just that I heard that Madam Wen is not Miss Wen's biological mother."
"Well, because Madam Wen is the second wife." Qin Shu deftly peeled sugar-roasted chestnuts. "My family and Rong Yang's family are also distant relatives. Because they are indirect relatives, in fact, my family will not mention distant relatives easily. In the Jiangnan area, any family with some background is basically related. However, even with such a small distance, every year when my father goes to Nanjing, Mr. Wen will invite my father to sit at home, and Madam Wen is also very polite. Sometimes when Mr. Wen is not in Nanjing, Madam Wen will also prepare gifts. Although I am not familiar with Miss Wen, the year when Miss Wen got married was not long ago, it was the year before last, and my parents were also invited to Nanjing. I heard from my mother when she came home that the dowry of Miss Wen's biological mother was specially invited to Miss Wen's uncle's family to come, and it was given to every penny without a difference. Miss Wen's. Not only is it not a small amount, but it is a lot more, all because of the income from the land and the renting of shops in recent years. Some of this money was used to buy foreign currency for Miss Wen and deposited in the bank, and some was used to purchase real estate for rent. Each sum was recorded separately. When Miss Wen got married, in addition to the dowry from the family, all these were also given to Miss Wen as a dowry. How many stepmothers in the world have a heart as big as Mrs. Wen? Some people also say that Mr. Wen loves his daughter, but to be fair, my mother often says that there is a stepmother and a stepfather. If Mrs. Wen was not good, and criticized Miss Wen every day, with the love between Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen, how could Miss Wen have such a large dowry when she got married? There are many stepmothers who are sweet-mouthed but bitter-hearted. When Miss Wen got married, many relatives said that Mrs. Wen was really kind. "
"Yes. Not to mention a stepmother who has no blood relationship, even blood relatives can do anything for money." Chen Xuan doesn't need to compare with others, just compare with her own uncle and aunt to know. The share of the family wealth that her father deserved, her uncle and aunt never mentioned it in their two lifetimes. When she threatened them with this matter last time, they were so scared that they dared not come to the capital again. Even the 20 yuan betrothal gift given by the Wei family, could she actually spend two yuan
