I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating Novel - Chapter 80

Chapter 80: Doing What I love
Poor Lu Bei had just gotten out of the car and before he could figure out where he was, he had already swallowed a mouthful of car exhaust.

Lu Bei: “…”

He did not want his father to look down on him, nor did he want to be late for work on his first day. He quickly took out his phone to check the nearest subway station, and then ran all the way.

Xiang Xiaoyuan realized that the Yuan Wei Convenience Store could do without her. Xu Xiyao had experience working part-time at a convenience store, and after a day of practice yesterday, he was already more than capable.

Business was still good today, but he could handle it all by himself. There was no delay in the checkout and tidying up the items on the shelves. She had really picked up a treasure!

After looking around the store for a while, Xiang Xiaoyuan received a delivery call. The manicure equipment she ordered online had arrived. She was not familiar with managing a convenience store, so she was just learning as she went. However, doing manicures was her domain!

In her heart, she still hoped to be able to do what she was good at. Before she transmigrated, she had a side job as the nominal owner of a manicure shop. Her main job was a relatively stable job in a big company.

The reason why she chose to open a convenience store was that there were no convenience stores in the area. In addition to the geographical environment, convenience stores were the best choice. If she had chosen to open a manicure store, she would definitely have made a loss. Would a wealthy lady go for a manicure in a small store near the villa?

Of course, that was impossible!

The ladies from wealthy families all had their own beauty and manicure places that they frequented. Without any special circumstances, who would change their preference so easily?

She had already thought about it. After the business of the convenience store was stable, she would start another shop.

“Xu Xiyao, I have something to do.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan carried the things that the delivery man had delivered and waved at Xu Xiyao. “I’ll leave the shop to you. If there’s anything, give me a call.”

The young man standing next to the cashier raised his head. He had delicate features and a refreshing look on his face. He hummed lightly, making people’s hearts tingle.

Xiang Xiaoyuan had made an appointment with Grandma Chen. When the manicure equipment arrived, she would be the first to do it for her.

When Grandma Chen arrived at the Lu family’s villa, she had brought a lot of things like bird’s nests and sea cucumbers which were all very expensive.

Grandma Chen smiled kindly. “These are all worthless things. If you like, I’ll bring you more next time.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan held her arm and smiled with her eyes curved. “Then I won’t be polite with you, Grandma Chen.”

Grandma Chen had a son and a daughter. Her son ran a real estate company and was considered a well-known figure in this area. Her daughter was a very capable diplomat. Both of her children were very filial. Since they were busy with work and could not often go home to accompany her, they bought a house here in Repulse Bay to make up for it. They strived to make their mother live comfortably and be in a good mood.

Upstairs, Xiang Xiaoyuan skillfully took out the equipment and arranged them. She also brought out the color board and manicure tools. She seriously and professionally discussed with Grandma Chen what kind of design she’d like.

After choosing the design, Xiang Xiaoyuan took Grandma Chen’s hand to fix her nails, and polished the edges of her nails.

“Your hands are well-maintained…”

Xiang Xiaoyuan sighed as she worked. “When I’m seventy years old, if my hands are still as fair and tender as yours, I’ll be able to wake up with a smile.”

Grandma Chen smiled. Manicure took a long time to do, and the two of them chatted casually. They did not know how they got to the topic of marriage, but Grandma Chen sighed, she looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan with some pity. “Say, you’re such a good girl. Why did you marry into the Lu Family?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan could not help but laugh. “Grandma Chen, look at what you’re saying. It’s as if it’s bad that I married into the Lu family.”

“It’s not bad. It’s just that Mr. Lu is a little older and has a child…” Grandma Chen sighed. “It’s hard to be a stepmother.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan could only smile. She could not answer this question.

Grandma Chen looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan’s round head with a soft gaze. She did not know why, but she felt that she was very compatible with this child. After interacting with her a few times, she treated her as her own, it was inevitable that she spoke a little too much. “You have a good idea. No matter who a woman marries, she has to have a career that she likes. Even with a man and a child…They won’t be by your side in the future. What really accompanies you are the things that you like, such as career, hobbies…”

This was something that she only understood when she was in her later years.

“Yes, you and I are so close. Even our thoughts are the same.” Xiang Xiaoyuan curved her eyes. “What I am doing now is what I like. My days are fulfilling.”

What she liked the most was to earn money!
