After the adopted daughter of a wealthy family was reborn, everyone was cremated

After hearing An Ran's words, Xia Xizhou no longer insisted on dragging her to eat, but was still curious, "Then what were you looking at just now, so seriously?"

"I'm looking, the shops over there are doing pretty well." An Ran stood next to Xia Xizhou and continued to stare at the shops in front of the school, "Look at the two snack bars, they are crowded with people, and there are By the way, that shop selling sesame seed cakes also has a long queue."

"It opens in front of the school. If the business is not good after school, the store will not have to work." Xia Xizhou looked in the direction she said and found that there were indeed many students wearing the uniforms of No. 1 Middle School gathered there. "What about another one? , there are few stores in front of your school, and the competition is low, so business will be easy."

"That's true." An Ran said thoughtfully, "However, I still feel that the business at the school gate is very good."

I don’t know if she was deeply impressed by the deserted state of domestic physical stores before her death, so that now seeing such a lively scene in physical stores, she always feels as if she has the capital now and can open any store without worrying about business. .

"Business is easy for students. There is a food street in front of our school, and the business is huge. If I have time, I will take you there to eat delicious food. It will be very popular!" Xia Xizhou smiled brightly, "Let's go, the weather is quite good today. Okay, we can shoot some exterior scenes later.”

A gust of cold wind blew up, picking up a few fallen leaves at the door of the First Lieutenant Colonel, and brushed the hem of Xia Xizhou's skirt, "...it seems a bit cold outside."

She was wearing close-fitting black woolen pants under her skirt. When the wind blew in, she still felt chilly.

It was originally a spur-of-the-moment idea today. Seeing that the weather was good, she wanted to tell the photographer whether to take some outdoor shots later. But now that the cold wind was blowing like this, she felt uncertain again.

"It's okay. If you want to shoot an outdoor scene, let's do it. It won't be so cold when you move." An Ran smiled and took Xia Xizhou's arm, "Where is your car?"

"over there……"
-

There is a parking lot at the entrance of "Luxury Future", opposite the small courtyard, only a dozen meters away from the road.

An Ran was sitting in the passenger seat. Before she got out of the car, she saw two groups of people coming in and out of the store opposite through several layers of glass windows.

"Are there a lot of customers in the store today?" An Ran asked Xia Xizhou speculatively, while unbuckling his seat belt and pushing open the car door.

"There will be more people on Friday afternoon than usual." Xia Xizhou walked down from the other side, "So, at this time every week, if nothing happens, I will be helping in the store."

"Why, aren't there more people on weekends?" An Ran closed the car door.

A tangled and contradictory look appeared on Xia Xizhou's face, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

"What's wrong?" An Ran waited patiently for Xia Xizhou, but only waited until she took a look at the store before silently pulling her in.

As soon as she followed Xia Xizhou into the store, several girls greeted Xia Xizhou, "The boss is back."

"I'm back, you guys are free today~" Xia Xizhou happily greeted several girls and then pulled An Ran to the counter, "Xiao Lin, hasn't the photographer come yet?"

"No." Xiao Lin was in the process of invoicing. When he answered Xia Xizhou, he was so busy that he didn't even raise his head. He just quickly glanced at the time pointed by the watch on his hand, "We have an appointment at 4:30. Otherwise, I will call him to confirm. Where has he been?"

There is a corner in Xia Xizhou's store that sells second-hand watches and clocks purchased from Europe.

An Ran saw that it was still ten minutes before four-thirty.

"You can call and ask." After Xia Xizhou ordered, he pulled An Ran to the warehouse at the back, "I'll take An Ran to see the products we will be shooting later."

"I'll type it now." Xiao Lin neatly tore off the receipt from the slip and handed it to the guest in front of him, "Take it."

An Ran glanced at Xiao Lin's methodical movements, smiled at her, and followed Xia Xizhou to the warehouse behind the counter with her schoolbag on her back.

But before entering the door, I suddenly saw a girl wearing a red cashmere horn-buttoned coat, a black beret on her head, and a full set of makeup on her face. She opened the door and walked into the store from the outside.

On such a cold day, her slender legs were only wearing a thin layer of stockings. On top of the stockings was a gray pleated skirt and black boots. This kind of dress is very popular among young girls nowadays. Fashionable dress.

There was also a pendant hanging on the backpack. The pendant jingled against the metal chain of the backpack as she walked. This attracted An Ran to look at her as soon as she entered the door.

At this sight, An Ran stopped in place in shock.

The girl is very beautiful, the kind of beauty that can be easily seen in a crowd. Her skin is very white, as white as cold jade, so she is very eye-catching when she blinks.

A pair of round eyes are surrounded up and down by narrow black eyeliner, which makes her eyes look big and bright, and she has a charming temperament that is not for her age.

The scene in front of An Ran seemed to be transformed into a silent movie in front of An Ran's eyes, and it was constantly magnified and magnified in An Ran's eyes...

Zooming in until her smile became so clear in her mind, and it felt so unreal.

After entering the door, the pretty girl went straight to the counter and asked Xiao Lin, "Hello, my surname is An. I called you before I came here. Do you remember?"

Xiao Lin gave her a friendly smile, "You are Miss An who called an hour ago, right? I remember, you want a Chanel bag, right?"

"Yes, I asked you about your size on the phone. Do you still have that bag?" The girl stood in front of the counter, staring straight at Xiao Lin.

"Yes, but I have to look for it...just wait..." Xiao Lin was obviously a little too busy and turned to look at Xia Xizhou, "Boss, can you help Miss An find the Chanel in our inventory?" 2.55?”

"Okay." Xia Xizhou immediately stepped out of the warehouse door after hearing Xiao Lin's voice. At the same time, he looked at the girl wearing a red cashmere coat standing in front of the counter, "What color do you want?"

"Boss, show me whatever colors you have." Before Xiao Lin could answer, the girl asked her her needs expectantly, "And the size, no matter how big it is, as long as it's what you have here, Can you bring them all to me for a look?"

"Little beauty, if you want Chanel, we have some at the Chanel counter in our store. You can go there and have a look first." Faced with this situation, Xia Xizhou was able to cope with it with ease, "As for the rest, I'll go to the warehouse and buy some." Look for it, but it’s not that fast, you need to wait for a while.”

"Okay, go look for it." The girl turned around happily and walked toward Xia Xizhou, pointing to the counter where Chanel bags are kept. "I'll take a look here. If you find it, call me."

"Okay~" After answering the girl's words, Xia Xizhou was about to continue holding An Ran's hand into the small warehouse, but found that An Ran was looking in the direction of the counter, dumbfounded not knowing what he was thinking.

"Why are you so stunned all of a sudden?" She raised her hand and waved in front of An Ran's eyes and said a little funny, "I'm sorry, the store is a bit busy, I need to help the customer find the bag first."

An Ran came back to her senses and glanced at the girl who was about to walk to the Chanel counter. A very familiar name was about to come out, but she held it back.

While she felt a tremor in her soul, she wanted to observe the girl more to see if she was the one she knew.

Taking advantage of the situation, he gently pushed Xia Xizhou into the warehouse. "No, you go and do your work. Don't worry about me. I want to walk around the store and see what changes have been made in your store recently."

"Okay, look good." Xia Xizhou didn't ask any more questions and went directly to the small warehouse.

An Ran stood there, holding down her heart that was about to beat out of her mouth. After hesitating for a while, she moved towards the girl who was looking at the Chanel counter carefully.

The girl took a bag from the counter and was hanging it on her body.

She looked left and right, as if she was not satisfied with what she saw. An Ran walked up to her and pointed to a pillar not far away in a soft voice.

"There's a full-length mirror."

The girl turned around and found that it was not there, so she looked at her suspiciously.

"On the other hand." An Ran smiled at her.

"Thank you." The girl smiled, then carried her schoolbag and went behind the pillar to look in the mirror.

When she came back, she found An Ran standing where she had just stood, looking carefully at the second bag she had just planned to carry, so she asked, "How do you feel about the bag in your hand?"

"It's pretty good." An Ran looked up at her with a gentle smile, "It's well maintained, with no obvious signs of damage or wear."

The girl's eyes lit up after hearing this. She took off the bag she was carrying and put it back on the counter. Her sparkling eyes continued to stare directly at the bag in An Ran's hand.

An Ran had met such eyes countless times.

Lowering her eyelashes slightly, she handed her the bag in her hand, "I've taken a look at it, do you want to try carrying it?"

"Yeah." The girl took the bag in her hand and ran to look in the mirror with satisfaction.

The moles on the neck all look exactly the same.

After the girl left, An Ran raised her head and looked at her back silently, the look in her eyes darkened.

She confirmed that the girl in front of her was Anya.

Compared with the eighteen-year-old Anya whom she first met at An's house in her previous life, although the makeup on the sixteen-year-old Anya's face was thicker, the look in her eyes was more straightforward and more understanding than before.

only……

She remembered that in her previous life, after Anya came to settle down, she would cry pitifully to everyone in the family about how her adoptive parents had treated her badly, and how miserable she had been. After entering high school, she had to work-study outside in order to continue going to school.

But, let me ask you, a middle school girl who has to work-study to pay for her tuition, would she know Chanel? Still in 05.

This is simply unreasonable.

"Miss An, take a look, do you want to try these?" After a while, Xia Xizhou personally brought a few Chanels from the warehouse, carrying them on his back and holding them in his hands, including gray, blue, Gold and white, "I knew you wanted to try it, so I unpacked it directly in the warehouse."

"Wow! Xiao Lin said in the QQ group that you have collected a good batch of Chanel this week. It's true." Anya saw the Chanel in Xia Xizhou's hand, and her face burst with joy. It was clearly Xia Xizhou's. These bags are very satisfactory to her.

"It's a coincidence that you came. Recently, many customers wanted this bag, so I collected a few from outside." Xia Xizhou looked at Anya and smiled while holding the bag, "I asked Xiao Lin to send a message to our group at noon. You're smart enough to come in the afternoon."

"Of course, I saw the photo she sent and called her immediately." Anya raised her pointed chin, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.

"The beauty is good-looking and has good taste. Many customers in our store are eyeing this bag." Xia Xizhou had several bags hanging on his body and gave her a thumbs up. While praising Anya, he seemed to be careless. He said, "If you had come two days later, you wouldn't have seen so many."

"Are there many people who want to order from you?" Anya's eyes were almost fixed on the bag in Xia Xizhou's hand, "Can you give me a try first?"

"Okay." Xia Xizhou held the bag and looked at Anya, "The black ones on the counter, the red ones, and the blue one in my hand have all been ordered. You can try them. If you want to buy them, they will be gone."

An expression of heartache immediately appeared on Anya's face, "Then if I want to buy one, wouldn't it be true that the only options are gray and gold?"

Xia Xizhou leaned his head in front of Anya, as if he wanted to whisper, "We have two blacks, one of them has been booked out, and there is another one. There is a guest who is hesitant about whether to take it away now. If so, it’s yours.”

The voice is also lighter than before.

In winter, black is definitely the most versatile, and looking at Anya’s outfit, she will also like black.

An Ran watched silently from the side, feeling that Xia Xizhou was essentially a businessman and understood human nature very well.

Seeing that Anya liked this bag, he specially brought out a bunch of the most suitable bags to show her, but then he said, "Do you like it? If you like it, buy it quickly. If you don't buy it, it will be gone."

He has a firm grasp on the psychology of consumers like Anya.

Sure enough, An Ran's fair face showed an anxious look. She hugged the black Chanel 2.55 she was carrying, "Is the black you're talking about the one on me?" Xia Xizhou smiled and nodded.

Will Anya really have the money to buy this bag?

An Ran was very curious. She had just looked at the price of this bag. Although it was cheaper than the new bags in the counter, it was still close to 20,000 yuan.

For ordinary people, it is absolutely sky-high price.

What's more, Anya is a high school student who is only sixteen years old.

However, Anya nervously and tenderly touched the black Chanel in her hand, then looked at the few in Xia Xizhou's arms, "Can I try the gray and blue ones too?"

"Okay." Xia Xizhou handed her the gray and blue Chanel.

Anya took the three bags and returned to the mirror.

Xia Xizhou turned around and tidied up the counter that had been messed up by Anya. An Ran approached her and asked softly, "Is this girl a regular customer of yours? She's quite pretty."

Anya looks like Mrs. An, with a melon-shaped face and big eyes. Although her nose is not high, it is small and moderate. In addition, she is still a girl and her skin is white and tender. At first glance, she looks very sweet.

The height of 1.64cm is neither tall nor short among girls, but Anya not only inherited Mrs. An's appearance, but also her figure.

The head-to-body ratio is excellent, with a short waist and long legs, especially the calves, which are straight and slender. They look best when wearing high heels.

So much so that her net height is clearly less than 1.65, but by visual inspection it is over 1.65.

Perhaps because she knows her legs are good-looking, Anya likes to wear skirts. She likes to wear skirts, and her body has a more feminine temperament.

Today she is wearing a skirt. In her previous life when she was at Anjia, she would wear a skirt most of the time when she saw her.

Hua Zhan once told her jokingly, "Anya's whole body is prettier except for her legs, which are longer."

At that time, she still remembered that she was angry for a while because of this joke, and then went on a crazy diet and exercise, practiced yoga and Pilates, and made her legs thinner than Anya, who was born with the gene for beautiful legs.

From then on, the pursuit of beautiful legs reached a morbid level, torturing myself to death.

"That's right, this girl has been here a few times." Xia Xizhou whispered in An Ran's ear, "I have come here to sell bags two or three times, and also bought one or two back."

Xia Xizhou's store has only been open for a few months, and Anya has been here four or five times. It seems that she is really a regular customer.

An Ran's heart sank:

"Why does An Ran have designer bags to sell?"

"Where did she get the money to buy second-hand designer bags?"

"Didn't she live a very poor and miserable life before she returned to Anjia?"

But looking at the way she is dressed now, the clothes she wears are department store brands, and the bag is Gucci. There is makeup on her face, and there is no trace of poverty anywhere on her body.

She was completely different from the first time I saw her in my previous life, wearing a pair of white canvas shoes and carrying a schoolbag worth tens of dollars, with a look of water on her face.

"what happened?"

She remembered that Anya's adoptive parents were small meat sellers in the vegetable market. According to Jincheng's living standards, the family of a small meat seller would not be very poor. Logically speaking, they could not afford all the expenses of a middle school student...

Now that I think about it, many of the things Anya said after returning to the An family in her previous life cannot stand the verification of reality. It's just that she and the An family, who were in a wealthy family and did not like the fireworks of the world, did not think deeply about this aspect.

Anya said her family was very poor, so they felt that her adoptive parents, who only sold meat in the market, were really poor. Not only were they poor, they also favored sons over daughters and were very harsh on Anya, the adopted daughter they bought.

So much so that she had to start a work-study program in high school to support herself.

So, after Anya returned to Anjia.

Mrs. An was deeply distressed by all the experiences she had experienced in the past, and every time she heard her cry a few words, she couldn't bear to hear more, so she would hold her in her arms for a while, eager to make up for the debt she owed her in the past.

From then on, Anya wanted the stars but not the moon at home. Not only Mrs. An, but also Antu, Anjing and Hua Zhan all loved her very much. Whenever she and Anya had any friction, almost everyone suppressed her. , asking her to be more understanding and tolerant of Anya, and give priority to Anya as soon as possible if she has something.

It seems that after having Anya, any subjective needs she expresses are greedy, willful and ignorant.

As her mind went back and forth, the smile on An Ran's face became softer and softer, "The little beauty's family conditions are quite good, and she has famous brands to sell at such a young age."

Xia Xizhou tilted his head, looked at An Ran with complicated eyes, and sighed softly, "You don't understand."

Don’t understand something?

An Ran lowered his head and smiled silently.

Actually she understands.

She is no longer the silly sweet girl who has not experienced the vicissitudes of life in Xia Xizhou's eyes, but she can't believe that Anya who has not returned to An's home is... like this.

He didn't recover from the shock of seeing Anya in Jincheng two years earlier.

While An Ran and Xia Xizhou were talking softly, Anya also tried on the bag in front of the mirror.

"Boss, I want this black one. How much does it cost?"

"The price is posted above, you can see for yourself." Xia Xizhou replied with a smile.

"I saw it." Anya put the gold and gray Chanel on her shoulders and the black one in her arms. She came over and looked at Xia Xizhou eagerly, and said softly, "Why is it more expensive than before? Can it be done? Cheaper?"

"Because this bag is almost new." Xia Xizhou said, "You must have seen that there are almost no traces of use."

"That's second-hand, too." Of course Anya knew that this bag looked the same as a new bag, otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to buy it as soon as she got it.

"Little beauty, our price for this bag is already very low." Xia Xizhou looked at Anya helplessly, "Besides, you may not be able to grab the Chanel 2.55 black classic model even if you go to a specialty store."

How could someone who comes to buy second-hand Chanel not do their homework before buying a bag?

What's more, Anya is a customer with clear goals.

"Just make it cheaper for me!" Anya approached Xia Xizhou, put her arm around her, and rocked her coquettishly.

She has a pair of big eyes that are moist and bright. She is a cute little girl who knows how to make trouble. If it were a male boss, I am afraid he would have been soft-hearted and discounted her.

But Xia Xizhou is a female boss——

She looked at the coquettish Anya with some embarrassment and said, "Beauty, it really can't get any cheaper. I originally wanted to get a 10% discount at night."

"What? The price still needs to be increased?" Anya exclaimed, as if she couldn't understand it. "A second-hand bag is sold at 50% off and the price still needs to increase?"

"Other stores sell this kind of bag at 7% off or 8% off." Xia Xizhou's tone was very helpless, but the look on his face was full of confidence, "My price is really cheap, you can make money by buying it now."

"Make it cheaper for me." Anya clutched the bag tightly, and after hearing Xia Xizhou's words, she wanted to buy it even more, "I'll buy other things next time, and I'll bring my friends to do business with you, okay?"

Xia Xizhou never let go, so Anya kept hugging her and begging her.

Until, her cell phone rang.

"You answer the phone first, I have something to do here, we can talk after you finish." Xia Xizhou took Anya's hand off his arm with a smile, "Don't worry, this package won't be released for a while. "

Anya made an OK gesture to Xia Xizhou, put her hand into her coat pocket and took out her mobile phone.

She first glanced at the caller ID, then turned and walked toward the door with her phone in her hand, her voice even louder than when she was bargaining with Xia Xizhou coquettishly.

"Hey~ where are you?"

An Ran was very curious about who the person on the other end of Anya's phone was that made her speak so coquettishly, but she also saw Xia Xizhou shuddering as if he had goosebumps all over his body, and asked funnyly, "What's wrong?"

"It's too weird, I can't stand it." Xia Xizhou curled his lips, but quickly regained his composure.

She hugged An Ran and said, "Let's go and see where the photographer is."

An Ran obediently let her lead her.

Xia Xizhou saw the sturdy scarf and hat she was wearing, "Why don't you take off the hat and scarf? It's not hot?"

The "Luxury Future" was air-conditioned. Not long after An Ran entered the store, he was so shocked that he forgot his own existence when he saw Anya. Naturally, he couldn't feel the heat.

When Xia Xizhou mentioned it, she felt that her whole body was so hot that she was sweating a little, and she immediately took off her scarf and hat.

Xia Xizhou saw a thin layer of sweat on her chin and forehead.

"Look at you, you're sweating because of the heat." Xia Xizhou said, "I hired a makeup artist and she will help you with your makeup later. Do you have any skin allergies?"

"Did you hire a makeup artist?" An Ran took out a napkin from his pocket and gently wiped the sweat off his face. "If you hadn't told me earlier, I wouldn't have let you hire her."

"Of course you need to hire a makeup artist to take photos." Xia Xizhou said, "No matter how good you are, you can't be photographed without makeup."

"I can do my own makeup."

"You?" Xia Xizhou's eyes widened slightly, "Are you sure?"

"Sure." An Ran said with a smile.

"Really?" Xia Xizhou still didn't believe it. "I've never seen you put on makeup. Do you really know how to do it?"

"Yes." An Ran said, "If you don't believe it, I can try to draw it for you when I have time."

"Okay." 1314 (End of this chapter)
