I opened a breakfast shop while raising my child, and the school beauty begged me not to sell it any

Upon arriving at the store, Chen Yuan was immediately greeted with great enthusiasm, and judging from the conversation, he felt that Su Qingxue must be a regular customer.

The staff member smiled and asked, "Ms. Su, are you buying a suit for this gentleman?"

"Yes, just pick out a few casual styles for him. Besides two ready-made outfits that he can wear right away, um... take his measurements later and have two more custom-made sets."

Soon the staff brought out several items.

Su Qingxue looked at them one by one, then took out a dark blue one and handed it over.

"Try this."

Chen Yuan obediently went to the fitting room. When he came out, Su Qingxue's eyes lit up.

"So cool! This looks great!"

The suit has a well-fitting shoulder line and is the right size, making the person look very neat and sharp.

Su Qingxue was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "This one will do. Also, get me a pair of dark gray straight-leg pants, and... a pair of leather shoes."

Looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Yuan realized that he was indeed much more energetic than usual, with a completely refreshed appearance.

"I must say, you do have a good eye for clothes, at least better than mine."

"Of course." Su Qingxue chuckled, then picked up another outfit and held it up in front of him. "Try this one too. Aren't you going to film other shows in the future? One isn't enough; you need to buy a few more for the cameras."

The two tried on each item one by one and chose each one carefully.

There was no rushing, no perfunctory talk, only whispered conversation.

"I don't think this one is as nice as the previous one. This color is a bit too dark. What do you think?"

I think so too.

"How about this one? The style is similar to the previous one, it just looks like a different color."

"I feel the same way."

"Then let's change into this one. You don't seem to wear this color very often. How about you try this one and see if it looks good?"

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

The staff member didn't say a word, and she could tell that she had no right to speak.

The two strolled around until evening.

I've also ordered two custom-made suits.

The two walked out of the mall carrying large and small bags.

He thought that was about it, but to his surprise, Su Qingxue was still not satisfied and dragged him to other stores to shop, where they bought a lot of things.

Carrying large and small bags, Chen Yuan quickly arrived near Lin Wei's milk tea shop.

Chen Yuan carried the paper bag forward, feeling a little uneasy. The store was too close to them, and he was afraid that Lin Wei would see them and cause trouble.

But what you fear most is exactly what happens.

The milk tea shop was deserted, with only one warm yellow light on, and the bar was a mess.

Lin Wei sat in front of the stool, clutching a thick stack of utility bills and various settlement slips in her hand, her knuckles turning white from gripping them so tightly.

Lately, she gritted her teeth and asked Sister Tiantian to do store visits and promotions. Traffic did increase, but customers just came to check it out, and the repurchase rate was pitifully low.

Lin Wei was at her wits' end. She had put in countless efforts for this matter, but to no avail.

But with the shop open, rent, labor costs, and equipment depreciation are like three mountains weighing on my shoulders. Every week when I do the math, I'm actually losing money.

The shop can't even afford to support one person now. She originally employed three people, but she has already fired two of them.

Now, there's only one part-time girl left in the shop, slowly wiping and washing cups in the corner, and there's no one to talk to.

Wang Lili sighed, sat down opposite, and swiped her fingertips across the screen of a popular online drink on her phone.

"Hey Weiwei, stop worrying about your phone all the time."

"The milk tea and beverage industry is in such a mess these days. You can't survive on the old methods alone. Look at all the stuff I've been searching for online these past few days."

As she spoke, Wang Lili handed over her phone.

"Look, many milk tea shops have started offering light meals to increase their average order value. If you ask me, you should also hurry up and launch new products."

"I heard that headquarters has released a new product line. Why don't you contact them quickly to get it listed? If this continues, the store really won't be able to survive."

Lin Wei didn't say anything, she just threw the settlement sheet on the table.

His brows were furrowed together like a knot.

New arrivals?

What should we use for new products? Our heads?

She's now practically penniless, though she's also emptied her pockets.

Lin Wei felt overwhelmed. The store had become a burden; making money was out of the question, and just breaking even would be considered a success.

She opened her mouth, but before she could utter a single discouraging word, her gaze inadvertently swept towards the view outside the window.

Just then, a familiar figure flashed by.

Lin Wei felt her eyes were playing tricks on her, but upon closer inspection, she realized she hadn't mistaken anyone; the person was indeed Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan and Su Qingxue walked side by side on the sidewalk, carrying several paper bags with different brand logos, all of which Lin Wei recognized.

The two walked slowly. Su Qingxue was talking to him with her head turned to the side, while Chen Yuan chuckled softly.

This scene deeply hurt her.

Lin Wei's breath hitched, and the form in her hand fell to the ground.

She stared intently at the two people, the weariness in her eyes instantly replaced by a sharp, bitter feeling.

The items in Chen Yuan's hands were clearly not cheap; they must have been worth at least several thousand yuan.

She stayed up all night worrying about this little thing, begging and pleading, losing clumps of hair, while the money in her wallet dwindled.

He, who runs a breakfast shop, has the leisure and money to accompany pretty girls shopping?

And all of this should have been hers!

Wang Lili followed her gaze and was also a little stunned, but she quickly recovered and a half-smile appeared on her lips.

He shifted his body to the side and lowered his voice.

"Oh my, isn't that Chen Yuan? He's living the good life, with such a beautiful and young new girlfriend."

"Isn't it strange? A breakfast vendor is living a better life than you. Look at that bag, that brand must cost at least several thousand, right?"

"Others go shopping and date, while we're lying here crying over the bill. It's kind of pathetic."

Wang Lili has always been someone who can't stand to see Lin Wei doing well.

Seeing that the other party's expression was not right, he not only did not restrain himself, but added fuel to the fire, his tone carrying a subtle provocation.

"Didn't you say before that Chen Yuan was a sentimental person? I don't think there's any need for that. Does he even remember you anymore, or your shabby shop?"

"Stop talking!"

Lin Wei abruptly interrupted her, her voice hoarse, her fingers unconsciously clenching.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. It was as if all her strength had been drained away, and she had no energy left at all.

She covered her face, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

"Stop talking, please stop talking!"

"That heartless bastard Chen Yuan, he'll pay for this one day!"
