Rebirth of a Village Girl

“Yes.” The shop owner nodded.

The man continued, “Name your price.”

“I’m sorry, but this really isn’t for sale.” She had seen plenty of men like him who tried to gain her attention by flashing money.

The shop owner steadfastly replied, “I’m sorry, sir, no matter how much you offer, I won’t sell it.”

At these words, the man lowered his gaze to look at the shop owner.

Only then did he notice that the shop owner was also wearing a cheongsam.

However, although she was wearing a cheongsam, she didn’t look as good as Yangyang, lacking that certain aura, her face didn’t match, nor did her figure…

Something was off about her.

For the first time, the man realized, there could be such a huge gap between individuals.

Feeling the man’s gaze on her, the shop owner’s heart rate quickened, and a faint blush spread across her cheeks.

While she did have her fair share of suitors, she had never felt this strange sensation before.

She thought, she might have fallen in love at the first sight.

The man casually withdrew his gaze, “Then help me wrap up the other items.”

All the items were packed by the shop owner who then looked up at the man and suddenly asked in Chinese, “Are you Chinese?”

“Yes.” The man nodded.

The shop owner continued, “Is your last name Mo?”

Before the man could respond, the shop owner quickly asked, “Are you Mo Qishen?”

Seeing her recognition, Mo turned to her with a quiet sigh, “And you are?”

The shop owner laughed, “I’m Ji Rou! The girl who sat behind you in the third grade! Don’t you remember me?”

Mo shook his head.

Ji Rou went on, “That’s alright if you don’t remember, as long as you do now. I didn’t expect to see you in F Country, are you working here now?”

Instead of directly answering her question, Mo said, “I have other matters to attend to, I need to be going.”

“Hey, wait a second.” Ji Rou called out to Mo’s retreating figure, running over to grab the teddy bear from the mannequin, “Didn’t you want this teddy bear? It’s yours.”

“Thanks, but I can’t accept it.” Mo politely declined.

Accepting a gift given by another woman to give to Yangyang; what does that make him?

Yangyang might not mind, but he would.

Besides Yangyang, Mo didn’t want to accept gifts from any other woman, nor become entangled with them.

“Take it, didn’t you want to buy this teddy bear?”

Mo directly said, “I’m sorry, I don’t want my girlfriend to misunderstand.”

Ji Rou was surprised, “You have a girlfriend?”

“Yes.” Mo replied lightly.

Ji Rou continued, “I bet she must be very pretty.”

Without any hesitation, Mo said, “She is indeed very beautiful!”

Ji Rou nodded, a flicker of light flashing in her eyes, “I wish you two a long lasting relationship, and hope you get married soon.”

“Thank you.” After expressing his gratitude, Mo left the Cheongsam Store carrying his purchases.

Watching Mo’s figure disappear down the street, Ji Rou finally turned around and headed to the counter to make a phone call.

“Hello, Lanlan, I need to ask you something.”

“What is it, Ji Rou? I promise, I’ll tell you everything I know.” A crisp female voice came from the other end.

Ji Rou continued, “Do you remember Mo Qishen?”

“Yes.” Zhao Lan replied, “I saw him during the New Year. Ji Rou, why are you asking about that loser?”

“Loser?” Ji Rou frowned slightly.

Why was Mo Qishen a loser?

Zhao Lan laughed, “Ji Rou, you’ve been overseas for years, it’s understandable that you don’t know about some things. Let me tell you, Mo Qishen is not the same person he used to be…”

Zhao explained to Ji all the changes Mo had undergone over the years.

Upon hearing this, Ji Rou didn’t seem too surprised.

A loser?

How could Mo Qishen be a loser?

Would a loser have seven or eight bodyguards with him when he went out?

Would a loser be fluent in the language of F Country?

Ji Rou continued, “Does Mo Qishen have a girlfriend back in China?”

Zhao Lan replied, “You know Zhao Jingrong, right?”

“Yes.” Ji Rou thought for a moment, “She was studying abroad, wasn’t she?”

Zhao Lan said excitedly, “She’s already returned home not long ago, and let me tell you something, Zhao Jingrong is Mo Qishen’s fiancée.”

Zhao Jingrong?

Ji Rou squinted her eyes.

No wonder Mo said that his girlfriend was very pretty. From what she remembered, Zhao Jingrong was indeed beautiful, a woman who could stand her ground against her.

Zhao Lan continued, “However, Zhao Jingrong is no longer Mo Qishen’s fiancée.”
