Chapter 1 (2/2)

Su Tian and He Qingwan exchanged a look and could do nothing but follow him up.

He meant well after all and they couldn’t be too rigid in declining his help.

He Qingwan did have an ulterior motive as well. After all, she and her daughter had just moved to a brand new area and barely knew anyone. It would not hurt to have someone close by that they could reach out to should the need arose.

Uncle Wang helped out till the very end and even stayed to help them place and arrange all the heavy furniture. He was out of breath at the end, after all, old buildings like these in a small town did not have elevators.

He Qingwan had Su Tian make some tea while she sliced up a watermelon to treat their guest.

Uncle Wang politely declined a couple times before he sat down and praised Su Tian up and down while munching on the watermelon. He talked about how smart and lovable Su Tian was; how she was as pretty as her mother; and how she was much better than his own daughter and that the two girls should go to school together when school starts. After going on and on for a while, he finally asked about the remodeling of He Qingwan’s storefront.

He Qingwan smiled delightfully and said, “Almost all done. We will have our grand opening in just a few days.”

Su Tian’s scum father was a wealthy man, and he treated them well during the divorce settlement. The amount that he gave them would be sufficient for the two to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

It was just that He Qingwan didn’t want to sit around and do nothing or be just like a pretty vase when she was still at the Su’s. Coincidentally, she was able to make killer desserts so she obtained a storefront downstairs for a dessert place.

He Qingwan had paid special attention in selecting the store location.

The store was located very close to Luo Cheng High School and most students would walk past the dessert store on their way to and from school. The foot traffic was amazing. And, the students were just at the age when they had some spending money and a love for desserts.
