MDMP Chapter 85.1

Lin Juan's New Boyfriend (1)

Advertisement

For several days, Qian Qingshan did not appear near Lin Juan.

Lin Juan was not surprised by this. Instead, she sneered and thought that Qian Qingshan was indeed a coward.

She thought that she must have been blind in her previous life to have been bewitched and fooled by him.

As the days passed, Lin Juan stayed in her shop every day.

One day, a man suddenly walked into the store.

The man’s attire was very different from the simple attire of the men around him nowadays.

He was wearing a suit which was extremely rare at that time. His hair was a little long but carefully groomed, making him look elegant and very different from other men.

Lin Juan’s eyes lit up when she saw the man. She immediately said attentively: “Welcome, what would you like to eat?”

The man looked around Lin Juan’s store and said: “That one.”

The man pointed to a dish on the menu posted on the wall and said.

When the man spoke, his Mandarin was not standard and had a slight accent, but it was still understandable.

Lin Juan said quickly: “Okay, please wait a moment.”

After quickly cooking the food, Lin Juan brought it out, gently placed it in front of the man, and asked, “From your accent, you are not a local, right?”

The man smiled and said in non-standard Mandarin: “Yes, I am from Hong Kong.”

A Hong Kong native? No wonder!

Lin Juan felt that the man’s accent sounded familiar.

Lin Juan knew Hong Kong very well. It was much more prosperous and developed than their place.

After the reform and opening up, the tourism industry began to open up to the outside world, and it was normal for some people from Hong Kong to come here to play.

But looking at the way this man was dressed, he didn’t look like a poor man at all.

So, Lin Juan treated the man better, simply sat opposite him, and chatted with him.

“I’ve heard of Hong Kong. It’s a great place! Are you here to travel or visit relatives?”

When the man heard Lin Juan’s words, he raised his eyebrows and said, “Do you still know about travel?”

It was not surprising that the man asked this question. After all, the Chinese at that time were still quite unfamiliar with the term ‘tourism’.

Most of them spent their entire lives in their own living circles within a radius of 100 kilometers, not to mention traveling out of the city, province, or abroad.

But Lin Juan was different. After all, she had experienced the afterlife, so she still understood these things very well.

Seeing the man ask this, Lin Juan raised her chin, smiled, and said, “I know.”

The man didn’t dwell on this question too much. He continued, “Yes, I came to visit some relatives and take a look around here to see if there is any suitable place for investment.”

Investment!

Lin Juan accurately caught these two words and immediately looked at the man with shining eyes.

She guessed correctly. The man in front of her was indeed not an ordinary person.

Realizing something, Lin Juan lifted her hair and said, “Then, this gentleman, you are really good at vision. Now is a good time to invest here!”

Seeing this, the man laughed, looked at Lin Juan with a pair of shining eyes, and said slowly: “You, a beautiful lady, really make me look at you in a new light. You are the most interesting and charming lady I have met these days.”

If an ordinary person said this in front of Lin Juan, Lin Juan would only think that this man was slick.

But when these words came out of the mouth of the man in front of her who had been filtered by Lin Juan, coupled with his not-so-standard Mandarin with a Hong Kong accent, Lin Juan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Were all the men in Hong Kong so passionate and unrestrained?

Lin Juan blushed a little and pretended to glare at him.

The man just smiled and said nothing. Then, he turned to eat the food that Lin Juan had just brought over.

Lin Juan looked at him many times, but the man seemed not to notice. He stood still like a mountain and didn’t even glance back.

Lin Juan couldn’t sit still any longer. She tapped the table with her fingers and said softly, “By the way, my name is Lin Juan. Lin for forest and Juan for beautiful. I wonder what your name is, Sir?”

“Huang Zude.” The man replied with a faint smile.

It seemed as if Huang Zude really passed by Lin Juan’s shop by chance and then stopped by to have a meal.

After finishing his meal, he didn’t stay for long and left immediately.v
