Chapter 420: Ding Yuehua's Engagement
Shu Yu acted mysteriously, saying, "I came across a rare item."
Zhao Xi grew even more curious and suggested, "Show it to me so I can appraise it for you. I don't want you to be cheated by the black market."
Of course, Shu Yu couldn't produce the item. The only valuable item she had was the sunflower seed. She knew its worth, but others didn't, including the people in the black market who wouldn't be able to appraise it accurately.
So she had to come up with something else, something that looked valuable at first glance. She didn't have it yet, but she planned to make it herself in the future.
Therefore, she put on a serious expression and told Zhao Xi, "The item is not here. I've hidden it away and it will take some time before I can bring it."
Zhao Xi felt a bit disappointed. "Alright."
Shu Yu sighed and said, "Well, I should be going then."
Her departing figure appeared elegant and even a bit carefree as she left the Meng family's courtyard.
However, as soon as she stepped outside, her pace quickened.
Only one month remained, and time was running short.
But in reality, there wasn't much left for her to do. Now she cherished the opportunity to spend more time with her family. Even though Meng Yunzheng said she could return in three months, nothing was certain, and who knew if something unexpected might happen?
When she returned home, Shu Yu found it difficult to fall asleep. It was nearly dawn before she drifted off, half-asleep.
The next day, Shu Yu woke up feeling a bit listless. She slapped her cheeks hard to wake herself up, and then carried her belongings to Yiren Pavilion.
She arrived early, so she rested in the shop for a while. Soon, Deng Shi came over.
Sitting in the fitting room, Deng Shi seemed a bit nervous for some reason.
Shu Yu noticed it right away, and she guessed it was probably because they hadn't seen each other in a long time. Moreover, with Deng Shi's changed status in the Jiang family, she was rarely at ease.
Shu Yu was always attentive to her customers, and she chatted with Deng Shi while doing her makeup to shift Deng Shi's focus.
As they talked, the conversation naturally shifted to Ding Yuehua.
As mutual friends, Ding Yuehua naturally had a strong presence in their conversations.
Shu Yu also learned something new—just ten days after they last met, Ding Yuehua was engaged.
The news was a bit sudden, and Shu Yu couldn't help but pause for a moment. "When did it happen?"
"It was the day before yesterday," Deng Shi replied. "The groom is the third son of the Fan family in our county. It's said that he took the initiative to propose to Ding Yuehua's parents."
According to Deng Shi, Shu Yu played a part in this.
Although Ding Yuehua was capable, she rarely interacted with people due to her dissatisfaction with her appearance. Even though she managed part of the Ding family's business, she mostly stayed behind the scenes and offered suggestions. It was the Ding family's managers who dealt with clients face-to-face.
As a result, few wealthy families in the county knew about Ding Yuehua, and even fewer had seen her.
The Fan family had no business ties with the Ding family, and even at the occasional gathering, only the eldest son of the Ding family attended. The third son had never seen Ding Yuehua before.
However, things had changed now. Shu Yu had done Ding Yuehua's makeup twice and found a suitable look and attire that suited her face. Ding Yuehua's aura had completely transformed, and just her newfound confidence alone made her seem like a different person.
She was no longer hiding in the background. Even with the bandage still on her forehead, she could confidently show herself. This was precisely what the third son of the Fan family had witnessed. The next day, the Fan family visited the Ding family to discuss the engagement.
The Ding family was satisfied with the match, but they still allowed the young couple to meet.
