An Beibei wasn’t dumb, and knew that Lisa told her that she was Suzy’s boss for a reason. Lisa must be warning her not to cause Suzy trouble again.
Because she had an old grudge against Suzy, and Lisa must be worried that she would stand in Suzy’s way.
Actually, although An Beibei indeed disliked Suzy, she didn’t bother to cause Suzy trouble. If she really did that, Suzy wouldn’t be able to stay in the entertainment industry now. It wasn’t difficult for her to make Suzy lose her jobs.
She didn’t find fault with Suzy, not because she felt guilty for what she had done to her, but because Huang Yizhen felt a little guilty. So he told An Beibei not to pick on Suzy.
Most importantly, Suzy didn’t fight back when she was amid criticisms, otherwise An Beibei would have tried to ruin her. An Beibei was unwilling to leave the entertainment industry after all, and her reputation mattered a lot to her career.
In fact, even though An Beibei had no intention to argue with Suzy again, it didn’t mean that other people wouldn’t stir things up between them. There were too many people who were jealous of famous artists in the entertainment industry, and the media also wanted big news. Therefore, she stopped arguing with Suzy, but the news about their grudge never disappeared.
However, after Lisa had saved her life and told her that she was Suzy’s boss, An Beibei decided to avoid having conflict with Suzy again.
If it hadn’t been for Lisa’s help, she could have died in the plane earlier.
…
Lisa didn’t call anyone to pick her up, but took a taxi back to Huafu Hills before she drove towards the store of Gufan.
Her car had been parked there for a long time, so she needed to bring it back to City B. She wouldn’t drive it back, she would directly put it into her telepathic eye space and go back by plane.
Lisa wasn’t sure whether she would have time for dinner in the Tang family’s house, so she didn’t tell Jiah and her other family members that she was back, in case they would be waiting for her.
After that, she called Gao Weichao and asked him whether he was in the store now.
Gao Weichao was in the store now, because the opening ceremony was tomorrow, so he was quite busy today. He needed to check whether everything was ready and in the right position.
Once Lisa arrived at Huafu Hills, she drove her own car to the store of Gufan.
Every time she went out in her Lamborghini, she would always be the focus of people’s attention.
When Lisa drove into the parking lot of Fengshang Shopping Mall, a car followed her. There were two young men in it.
“Come on, let’s have a bet. Do you think the driver is a man or a woman? Whoever loses will pay the bill tonight,” the man sitting on the driver’s seat said.
“I think it’s a man.” The second the man sitting on the driver’s seat finished what he was saying, the man on the front passenger’s seat gave his answer.
“Great, then I’ll say it’s a woman,” the man sitting on the driver’s seat said.
In order to figure out whether the driver of the luxurious car was a man or a woman, they stopped their car near Lisa’s car.
When Lisa got out of her car, the man sitting on the driver’s seat laughed. “I win! You’ll pay the bill tonight.”
“Not a big deal!” The man on the front passenger’s seat didn’t mind it at all, because they were close friends.
“By the way, the girl is gorgeous and looks familiar,” the man sitting on the driver’s seat added.
“Come on, every beautiful girl looks familiar to you,” his friend joked.
“I mean it!” he argued, but couldn’t remember where he had seen the girl before.
“Alright, but you see too many people every day. It’s quite normal that you find a familiar face. We should go to see your older cousin now,” his friend said.
Afterwards, they left.
…
Lisa left the parking lot, and walked towards the store of Gufan.
It would be opening tomorrow, but everything was already put in place now, and some customers were already shopping inside.
They were open for business, and wouldn’t shut their customers out. Moreover, it was a good sign that some people were already attracted to Gufan.
Although the Gufan store looked luxurious, it was a new brand, so not many people were aware of it. Many of the customers in the store were attracted by the clothes hanging in the windows.
There were all kinds of international clothing brands in a big shopping mall in a large city, and there actually wasn’t a big difference among their designs.
In fact, Gufan wasn’t very special when compared with other brands.
However, it still had its own style, because it was founded by Lisa and she wouldn’t copy or plagiarize other designers’ work.
Even though clothes were basically the same, some were more attractive than others. Gufan could easily attract people’s attention by a simple glance, so many customers were willing to walk into the store.
Once Lisa showed up, a saleswoman greeted her with great respect. “Nice to see you, Chairman Gu.”
Because Gao Weichao had introduced their boss to them earlier, they were aware that Lisa was their boss. In addition to that, Lisa was also their idol, because she had many great achievements at a very young age.
“Where is Manager Zhou?” Lisa asked.
“He’s in the storeroom now,” the saleswoman said.
“Great, you can go to do your work, and I’ll look around by myself,” Lisa said.
“Sure.” The saleswoman walked away at once.
Several customers stayed in the store for a long while, and they were quite interested in the clothes.
“Miss, I didn’t see much news about Gufan on the Internet. Is it a new brand? Why is the store so luxurious and the prices are very high,” a woman said.
Saleswoman A explained right away. “Gufan is indeed a new brand, but it’s a high-end brand, so the quality is guaranteed. Have you heard of Jade Beauty Jewelry or Kouzi? Gufan is built by the same founder.”
“I’ve heard of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi, and I’m a fan of them!” said Woman A with excitement.
“I’m using Kouzi products as well! If they’re founded by the same person, I believe Gufan can be popular too!” Woman B said.
“Both Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi have gained a lot of fame within a short time, so I think Gufan will be next,” Woman C said.
“I agree. I think this dress looks beautiful and I like it, but you won’t open until tomorrow. Can I have a discount today if I’m going to buy it?” Woman A asked.
Saleswoman A replied, “Of course you can, and you can also have a chance to play the lucky draw tomorrow. We’ve prepared 30 gifts for those who can win a prize tomorrow. In addition, if you’re one of the first hundred customers who spend over a thousand yuan in our store, you can have a gift within five hundred yuan from our store for free!”
“What?”
“Really?”
The three women were excited the second they heard the news. They could afford expensive clothes, so they weren’t poor, but no one would say no to discounts and gifts.
“Of course it’s real, and we have fliers over there. Please wait a second.” Saleswoman A walked to a nearby coffee table and picked up several fliers.
She walked back to the three women later and shared with them the details of the activity.
The three women took the fliers and began to read it. After a few minutes, they were sure that the activity was real.
“Oh, I must buy this dress in that case,” said Woman A.
“Can I try on that dress?” said Woman B to Saleswoman A.
“I’m going to buy some clothes too!” Woman C said.
“Wonderful, let’s start shopping now!” Woman A was thrilled. All of them were eager to buy their favorite dresses.
Once someone paid the bill first, more and more people joined it.
…
Gao Weichao didn’t know that Lisa was already in the store, but he knew that she would be here at any second. Therefore, he left the storeroom and walked to Lisa the moment he saw her.
“Hi, boss, I’m sorry I was absent for a while,” Gao Weichao said.
“It’s fine. I just arrived,” Lisa said with a smile. “How is everything going now?”
“Everything is ready,” Gao Weichao said.
Lisa nodded, and she trusted Gao Weichao’s ability.
Afterwards, Gao Weichao elaborated on the whole process to Lisa.
When it was almost 6 pm, Lisa was about to leave, but Gao Weichao asked her whether he could use her fame to advertise the opening ceremony of Gufan.
Lisa agreed, because she also wanted to make full use of her fame and popularity.
Gao Weichao then took several photos of Lisa looking around in the store. Without hesitation, he posted the photos on Weibo and Lisa reposted it.
Till now, Gufan only had a few thousand followers on Weibo, and most of them followed it because of Lisa. So it wasn’t enough advertisement for Gufan if they relied on its Weibo account.
On the other hand, Lisa already had over ten million followers, and most of them were her loyal fans, so they were quite active.
After reposting the post, Lisa called Jiah and asked her whether they had eaten yet.
It was a little late now, so the Tang family had probably already finished dinner.
If they hadn’t eaten yet, she would go back and have dinner with them. If they had, she would dine outside before she went back home.
Jiah told Lisa that they hadn’t had dinner yet. Lisa then told Jiah that she would go to meet them later, and they could have dinner together.
Jiah was excited once she learned that Lisa was back in City B now. So she immediately told Tang Haifeng the good news.
“Give me the phone. Give me the phone now!” Tang Haifeng was excited too.
“Why didn’t you call me when you came back to City B?” Tang Haifeng complained. He wasn’t seriously criticizing Lisa, but he felt a little upset.
“Well, I just wanted to surprise you,” Lisa said. She was always like a little girl in front of her grandpa.
“Ha-ha, alright, come back home now.” Tang Haifeng laughed with happiness.
“Sure,” Lisa said and hung up the call. She then drove back to the Tang family’s house.
Because she didn’t want to keep them waiting for her, she drove fast and arrived within 20 minutes.
At this time, it was only a dozen minutes past 6 pm, and the Tang family was ready to enjoy dinner.
All the members of the Tang family were present tonight, including Hyunsuk who seldom came back home. It was Friday today, so he came back for the weekend.
The Tang family had nothing to worry about now, and everyone got along well with each other, so they were in a good mood. Even Jiah who was already a few months along in her pregnancy didn’t look tired at all.
“Hi, Lili!”
Once Lisa walked inside, the members of the Tang family welcomed her with a broad smile.
“Come here and have a seat!” Eunseok said to his daughter.
Lisa smiled and went to sit next to him.
During the meal, they all kept putting food into Lisa’s bowl and told her to eat as much as she could, which amused Lisa.
“Alright, my bowl is full now, if I eat it all I’ll be stuffed,” Lisa said.
Hearing that, Tang Haifeng stopped at once and told the others to stop persuading Lisa to eat as much as possible, in case she felt uncomfortable.
Lisa could eat a lot, but there was too much food in her bowl now, so she secretly used her magical power to help her digest it.
…
At this time, Lisa’s repost about Gufan caused a sensation on the Internet, and many of her fans in City B were eager to attend its opening.
As for those who weren’t in City B, they were quite envious of the people who could see Lisa in real life.
【Oh, I’m so excited! I’m going to see Goddess Lisa in her dress!】
【Me too. All the dresses look so beautiful.】
【…】
【I’m so envious of you now, because I can’t see Goddess Lisa.】
【I wish I could have a day free tomorrow so that I could fly to City B to see Goddess Lisa.】
【When can the store open in our city?】
【…】
【Gufan’s dresses look good, but I don’t know whether its quality is also good.】
【Why are the dresses so expensive?】
【Will people really buy them? Gufan isn’t famous at all.】
【…】
【Different people have different preferences.】
【I believe Gufan can become famous within a short time.】
【…】
There were positive and negative comments about Gufan on the Internet, but most people had confidence in it, because it was founded by Lisa.
…
In the Tang family’s house, they went to chat with each other in the living room after dinner, but Hyunsuk seemed to have something to talk about with Lisa.
Lisa understood that Hyunsuk wanted to have a private conversation with her, so she stood up and told Hyunsuk to go outside with her.
Their elders didn’t stop them, and let them go.
“Um, Lili, what do you want to talk to me about?” Hyunsuk asked Lisa.
“I think I should ask you that question instead. You kept glancing at me earlier,” Lisa said.
Hyunsuk felt a little embarrassed and rubbed his head, but wasn’t surprised, because he knew that Lisa was a smart girl.
“Well, the thing is that Xiaoyu successfully got into the national team and he is going to the capital tomorrow afternoon to start his training. He always wanted to invite you to have a meal together to thank you face to face, but he hasn’t had the chance. He just read your post on Weibo and found out that you’re in City B now, so he asked me whether you’re willing to hang out with him for a while,” said Hyunsuk.
He didn’t want to make it difficult for Lisa, so he left it totally up to her.
Lisa remained silent for a while and didn’t give him an answer right away, so Hyunsuk explained at once. “Lili, it’s fine if you don’t want to go. I can make an excuse and tell him that you’re not free.”
“It’s fine. I think we can spend some time in a nearby tea house,” Lisa said.
Although Lisa didn’t think it was necessary for Teng Xiaoyu to thank her face to face, he was Hyunsuk’s friend after all. Since Hyunsuk invited her to hang out together, she wouldn’t reject.
Actually, if Hyunsuk thought that it wasn’t important, he would directly turn it down.
Lisa didn’t want to go too far or stay outside for too long, because it wasn’t easy for her to come back home and she had to leave tomorrow. She wanted to spend more time with her family.
“Lili, are you sure you’re willing to hang out with them?” Hyunsuk asked again.
“Of course,” Lisa said with a smile.
“Great, I’ll call Xiaoyu right now, and tell them to come over. I know there is a good tea house nearby, and grandpa often goes there with his old friends. We can go there tonight!” Hyunsuk said.
“No problem.” Lisa agreed.
It wasn’t 8 pm yet, so they had an hour to hang out together. Teng Xiaoyu only wanted to see her and chat with her for a while, so an hour was enough.
As long as Lisa agreed to see him, Teng Xiaoyu was more than happy and didn’t care where they would meet and how long they could stay with each other.
After that, Lisa told her family that she needed to go out for a while.
Her family reminded her to be careful and to not come back too late.
Lisa and Hyunsuk didn’t leave the Tang family’s house until Teng Xiaoyu and his friends had almost reached the appointed place, because it would only take them several minutes to reach the tea house, while Teng Xiaoyu was farther away.
Teng Xiaoyu also sped on the road to prevent Lisa from waiting for him for too long, so he arrived in 20 minutes.
However, Lisa actually didn’t mind waiting for a while longer, because people’s safety was most important.
Teng Xiaoyu arrived earlier, and his teammates would arrive later. They also wanted to see Lisa, because they regarded her as their idol.
Lisa and Hyunsuk went to the tea house 10 minutes before Teng Xiaoyu. Therefore, once Teng Xiaoyu saw them, he greeted Lisa with enthusiasm and repeatedly thanked her for her help.
Actually, Teng Xiaoyu felt nervous when he talked to Lisa. Although Lisa was several years younger than him, she was already a very successful businesswoman, so he couldn’t help but stand in awe of her.
Luckily, as time went by, they got along very well, and he felt like Lisa was just like a younger sister next door. Lisa never thought that she was better than her friends, so she treated them nicely.
About a dozen minutes later, Teng Xiaoyu’s friends came and they also felt nervous when they faced Lisa at the beginning.
When it was about 10 pm, Lisa needed to go back home, so they left the tea house together.
Everyone was still up in the Tang family’s house at this time, because it wasn’t very late. Normally, they went to bed at 11 pm, so Lisa chatted with them for a while, before they all went back to their own rooms.
Jungkook sent Lisa a message and asked her what she was doing now, so she told him that she was with her family, and would call him later.
Once she was back in her room, she called Jungkook.
Jungkook told her that he was going to be back in the capital tomorrow night, while Lisa would fly back to the capital in the morning, the day after tomorrow, so they planned to go to City Qing in Province Qing, after they met in the capital.
Kunlun Mountain was very large, so they would mainly visit the Supreme Deity’s abode and Death Valley.
Death Valley had another name of “the Door to Hell”, and it was a forbidden place with many scary scenes.
Unfortunately, Jungkook’s parents encountered an accident at Death Valley. So even if it was a forbidden place, they had to go there in order to figure out the real cause of Jungkook’s mother’s death.
Even if they couldn’t find anything useful, they wouldn’t give up investigating.
Anyway, they could go there and visit the grave of Jungkook’s father. Jungkook’s father’s body was brought back, but his soul stayed where he died.
Lisa looked at the plane schedule, and decided to fly to the capital at 9:30 in the morning. They would probably need to wait in the capital for several hours for the next plane to Province Qing.
Although Jungkook could use a private jet, Lisa didn’t think that it was necessary.
They had enough time to go there anyway, so they could wait for an appropriate flight. Lisa could also dine at the airport when she waited for Jungkook. Therefore, they booked plane tickets for a flight which would take off for City Qing at 1:15 pm.
After it was settled, they said some sweet nothings to each other before they went to sleep. However, neither Lisa nor Jungkook could fall asleep tonight, because they kept worrying about Kunlun Mountain.
It was where Jungkook’s parents had the accident. The truth still remained unknown, and Jungkook even found out that his mother could still be alive.
He would be extremely happy if his mother was really alive, but he honestly didn’t know how to face it if his mother had betrayed his father to survive the accident. Besides, why didn’t his mother come to see him during the past few years if she wasn’t dead? Was it difficult for her to do?
Although Jungkook was reluctant to believe that his mother could be a cold-blooded person, he needed to be mentally-prepared for it because it was possible for that to be the truth.
Lisa was thinking about Taehee too. She also hoped that Taehee was still alive, because Taehee was Jungkook’s mother. Nevertheless, if Taehee wasn’t dead because she had betrayed Jungkook’s father, Lisa would rather wish that she was dead to prevent Jungkook from feeling hurt again. After all, Jungkook already accepted the result that his parents were dead.
Lisa hoped that she could figure out a way to become a cultivator in Kunlun Mountain, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to be together with Jungkook for long. Even though Jungkook didn’t mind it, she would dislike it if she aged much faster than him.
Thinking of that, Lisa didn’t fall asleep until 1 am. Shortly after she was in a deep sleep, she had a dream which seemed to tell her that something was going to happen.
Lisa dreamed that she met a woman in a white traditional long dress by the Supreme Deity’s abode, but she didn’t see her face. The woman stood there in silence, and looked quite charming.
Lisa woke up in the morning the next day, and was lost in her thought for a long while. She didn’t know whether the dream was just a coincidence or a hint for something. In addition, she wondered whether the woman in her dream was Jungkook’s mother.
Lisa shook her head and tried to forget the strange dream. If the scene appeared in Lisa’s premonitions, Lisa would be sure that it was going to happen, but now she wasn’t sure of it because it happened in her dream.
Anyway, since she couldn’t figure out the reason, she put it aside and got up at 6 am to run.
“Morning, grandpa!” Lisa saw Tang Haifeng walking out of his room once she walked downstairs.
Old people slept less, so he got up very early.
“Good morning, Lady Lisa,” Quan Bohang said to Lisa.
“Morning, Uncle Quan.” Lisa smiled at him.
“Lili, why did you get up so early? You can sleep for a few more hours,” Tang Haifeng said.
“I’m already used to it, and I want to go for a run now,” Lisa said.
“Great.” Tang Haifeng nodded. It was a good habit.
“Oh, wait a second.” When Lisa was about to leave, Tang Haifeng stopped her.
“What’s wrong, grandpa?” Lisa asked.
“Tell Hyunsuk to run with you. He can’t sleep all day when you’re exercising!” Tang Haifeng said.
Lisa was amused, and felt that she caused Hyunsuk trouble, but she had to listen to her grandfather. In addition, it was good for Hyunsuk’s health if he could form a habit of running in the morning as well.
Even though they had Lisa’s power crystals to keep them healthy, power crystals could only protect their organs and they still needed to exercise to have strong limbs.
“Sure, I’ll go to wake him up,” Lisa said and turned to Hyunsuk’s room.
Afterwards, she knocked on the door.
Hyunsuk was a light sleeper, so he woke up at once, but he was annoyed when someone knocked on the door of his room in the early morning. “Who is it? It’s still early! Don’t wake me up!”
“It’s me! I honestly don’t want to wake you up, but grandpa told me to help you form a good habit of running in the morning. You should exercise more!” Lisa said loudly outside his room.
“Alright, I’m coming!” Hyunsuk said. In his eyes, Lisa was a very important sister, and he always wanted to grow stronger to protect her. However, Lisa was strong enough and didn’t need his protection.
Hyunsuk felt embarrassed and a little guilty about it, so he didn’t blame Lisa for waking him up at all.
Lisa stopped knocking on the door and waited outside.
Hyunsuk quickly put on his clothes and opened the door. Because he rushed to see Lisa, his hair was still in a mess, which amused Lisa. “We don’t need to rush, so you can at least tidy your hair.”
“It’s fine. It’ll get messy after running anyway,” Hyunsuk said and casually smoothed his hair with his hands.
He was a young man with short hair, so it wasn’t difficult for him to smooth his hair with hands.
Lisa said nothing about it, then they went downstairs together.
At this moment, Tang Haifeng was already exercising in the yard, and he criticized Hyunsuk the second he saw him. “Hyunsuk, you should learn from Lili and get up early in the morning to run from now on.”
“Sure!” Hyunsuk agreed at once. Actually, Hyunsuk always got up at 6:30 am in his school, so it was easy for him to get up early.
Seeing Hyunsuk’s good attitude, Tang Haifeng stopped criticizing him. After that, Lisa and Hyunsuk went to run around the green strip of the Tang family’s house. There was a lane by the green strip around the Tang family’s house, which was used for ambling and running.
Lisa never used her magical power when she was exercising, unless she needed it to help her relieve the tiredness. So after a long time of regular exercise, Lisa now had a strong body.
The green strip around the Tang family’s house was about 260 meters, and they ran eight laps of it. Lisa didn’t feel very tired, but Hyunsuk was out of strength and was gradually left behind by Lisa.
As time went by, Lisa ran more laps than Hyunsuk.
Because Tang Haifeng was an old man, he couldn’t exercise for long, so he soon stopped and watched them running from the door.
When Hyunsuk was left far behind by Lisa, Tang Haifeng didn’t feel dissatisfied at all, instead he felt very proud of Lisa. He also wouldn’t force Hyunsuk to do as well as Lisa, because he knew that every person had different talent. Moreover, they only needed to do the best of their own ability. Both Hyunsuk and Lisa were his beloved grandchildren, and he wouldn’t treat them unequally.
In the end, Hyunsuk did 20 laps, while Lisa ran 40 laps.
Although Lisa wasn’t exhausted, she also needed to stop for some fresh air.
“Lili, how many laps have you done?” Hyunsuk asked Lisa.
“Forty,” Lisa said.
“What? Forty laps? Why don’t you look more tired?” Hyunsuk was greatly surprised.
“I’m already used to it,” Lisa said with a smile.
“Alright, come back for breakfast now,” Tang Haifeng shouted to them.
After that, Lisa and Hyunsuk went back to take a shower before they enjoyed their breakfast.
When they sat down by the dining table, the other family members gathered together too. However, before Lisa finished her breakfast, Rosé ran inside and criticized her loudly. “Lili, why didn’t you tell me that you’re in City B now? How dare you forget me?”
Rosé didn’t know that Lisa was back in City B now until she read her post on Weibo.
Lisa felt embarrassed and apologized at once. “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Please forgive me this time, and I’ll tell you first the next time, alright?”
“Fine, I can forgive you because of your good attitude, but it can’t happen again. By the way, you should send me a dress from your new brand as a gift to make it up to me,” Rosé said.
Since Gufan was owned by Lisa, it was very easy for her to prepare a set of clothes for Rosé. In addition, it was Lisa’s new company, so she had definitely prepared gifts for her family members.
“Of course I have a gift for you, and actually I’ve prepared a gift for every one of you! Each of you will have a set of clothes from my new brand, and you must wear my clothes to attend the opening ceremony!” Lisa said. She planned to use her family as a great ad.
Even though they knew that Lisa would give them a gift, they were still surprised when she said it aloud.
“No problem!” Rosé said with a smile.
“Well, of course we’ll put on your clothes since your new brand has just been established,” Jiang Lihua said.
“Sure! We support you,” Tang Haifeng said. It was his granddaughter’s new brand, and he was more than willing to help her advertise it.
The other family members also agreed happily. In fact, they dressed casually in their daily life, and would only put on designer’s brands at important events. After all, everyone liked comfortable clothing.
“Lili, I’m afraid I can’t go this morning, because I have something important to deal with today,” Tang Yunhang said, “but I do hope your business can be profitable as always.”
“Thank you, Uncle Yunhang. It’s totally fine if you’re busy today,” Lisa said.
It was just an opening ceremony, and Lisa didn’t mind if any of her family members couldn’t come.
…
While the Tang family was enjoying breakfast, Jeongyeon and Chanhyuk were also having their breakfast in the capital, and they overheard some people around them talking about Lisa.
“The store of Gu Lisa’s new clothing brand is opening today, and she’ll be there!”
“I wish it were in the capital, so I could go.”
Hearing that, Chanhyuk took out his phone at once to search for news about Lisa’s new clothing store, then he found the post about Gufan on Weibo.
After reading it, he knew where Lisa would show up today.
Jeongyeon arranged for someone to find out where Lisa went yesterday, so she knew that Lisa was in City B now, but she still didn’t know the specific place until now.
“Drive me to the airport, I’m going to City B now,” Jeongyeon said and stood up in a hurry.
Chanhyuk frowned. “It’s already 7:20 am now, so you’ll miss the opening ceremony even if you can take the closest flight to City B. Besides, we’ve been following her for a long time, but still haven’t found anything useful. I don’t think this time will be different.”
He didn’t dare to stop Jeongyeon from doing what she wanted to do, but he honestly felt it was meaningless.
Jeongyeon was struck dumb for a second. She had to agree with Chanhyuk, and she would indeed miss the opening ceremony even if she flew to City B right away. However, she was unwilling to give up.
Even though they had found nothing useful after following Lisa for a long time, she still hoped that she could find something useful in City B. Therefore, Jeongyeon made up her mind to fly to City B by herself while Chanhyuk would stay in the capital.
She had already arranged for someone to pay special attention to Lisa’s schedule. As long as Lisa booked a plane ticket, she would know.
…
In the Tang family’s house, Tang Yunhang went to work after breakfast, and other family members waited for the clothes from Lisa’s new brand. Once the clothes arrived, they were excited and gathered around them.
“Look, there are our names on them!” Hyunsuk picked up a gift box with his name on it.
Without delay, each of them got their box and opened it with excitement. It was as if they hadn’t seen new clothes in years.
Hyunsuk opened his gift first. In it there was a pair of dark gray cropped plaid pants, a black but rather fancy T-shirt, and a pair of white casual shoes inside.
Because it was summer, their clothes were all summer clothing.
Rosé had a black suit with black high heel sandals. She also got a bag, which was an extra accessory for the women.
“Lili, you have great taste, and I like them! I should try them on right now!” Rosé said with satisfaction before she ran upstairs to her room.
“I want to try them on now too!” Hyunsuk ran away as well.
When they all had their clothes, they went to try them on too. A while later, they walked out in their new clothes.
“I like this suit,” Tang Haifeng said. He was quite satisfied with the clothes Lisa chose for him.
Lisa also put on her new Gufan clothing, which was a casual suit. She was very young after all, so there was no need for her to dress like a mature woman.
Both Jiah and Jiang Lihua were in a dress and looked elegant. Jiah was pregnant, so Lisa prepared a pair of flat shoes for her.
Gufan had all kinds of clothes for people of different ages.
The opening ceremony would begin at 10 am, and Lisa needed to arrive there before 9 am. So when it was about 8:30 am, Hyunsuk, Rosé and Lisa left together.
Tang Haifeng and the others would come later.
Because Jiah was pregnant, it wasn’t good for her to stay in a crowded place for long so they would arrive 10 minutes before the ribbon-cutting. There was nothing else for them to do at the opening ceremony after all, so they could arrive late.
Neither Hyunsuk nor Rosé drove today, so they went in Lisa’s car.
The second Lisa got in the car, her phone kept ringing, so Lisa told Rosé to drive her car so that she could have time to deal with the news messages and calls.
Most people congratulated her on the new store, but Taehyung directly scolded her for not informing him earlier.
Lisa was displeased with his tone, so she argued. “Taehyung, I know that we’re friends, but it isn’t my duty to report to you when I’m back in City B.”
Taehyung didn’t mind Lisa’s unkind attitude, but Rosé and Hyunsuk were shocked. Although their families were the top families in City B, they were still scared of illegal gangs, because they were cruel and violent.
Lisa, on the other hand, wasn’t afraid of Taehyung at all, and she had even pointed a gun at him when they met each other for the first time.
Rosé and Hyunsuk felt frightened every time they remembered the scene.
Even though Lisa and Taehyung were friends now, Hyunsuk and Rosé were still worried about her safety. Taehyung was the leader of a famous illegal gang after all, and he wasn’t a kind man. What if Lisa annoyed him and he hurt her in anger?
“Are you free tonight? Why don’t we share a meal together?” Taehyung said in a domineering tone.
“No, I need to stay with my family,” Lisa said.
“How about tomorrow?” Taehyung asked again.
“Sorry, I need to fly back to the capital tomorrow,” Lisa said.
“Seriously?” Taehyung was displeased with a frown.
“I need to deal with something important tomorrow,” Lisa said. “I…”
Before Lisa could finish, Taehyung hung up on her.
Lisa didn’t mind, and continued to reply to her messages and answer other calls.
Because there was a lot of traffic on the road, they took nearly 40 minutes getting there. However, it was still several minutes away from 9 am.
At this time, countless people already gathered together outside the Gufan store. The majority were Lisa’s fans, with only a small number of them being passers-by.
“This is a new store, right?”
“Yeah, but there are already many people here!”
“I’ve never heard of Gufan before.”
“It’s a newly-established brand, but the founder is also the owner of Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi.”
“What? Do you mean the 19-year-old girl?”
Hearing the discussion of passers-by, Lisa’s fans felt quite proud of her. “Right, the founder of Gufan is Gu Lisa, the talented businesswoman, the genius, the kung fu master, and my goddess.”
“Goddess Lisa is my idol too.”
“I can’t wait to see her!”
“It’s still early now.”
“I can wait, but I must see her today.”
“Me too!”
“…”
Many passers-by who didn’t know that this store was owned by Lisa were surprised, because they had heard about her. Lisa was quite famous on social media after all. Nevertheless, some still had a bad impression of Lisa, because they thought that Lisa was too ambitious and impetuous.
In their eyes, Lisa built her business empire too fast. Actually, both Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi were new brands, but she didn’t hesitate to build another new brand.
Although Lisa had enough money and ability, she was too young when compared with other successful businessmen.
In fact, most people who had a bad impression of Lisa were jealous of her to some extent. Her business developed smoothly, and she made a lot more money than her peers.
“Wow, there are so many people!” Rosé was surprised too when she saw the large crowd outside the store.
“It proves that Lili is really charming,” Hyunsuk said with pride. He ached to tell the whole world that Lisa was his cousin.
Lisa was one of his family members, and he felt super proud of her.
“Right, Lili indeed is very charming.” Rosé agreed.
Lisa smiled when she heard their conversation, but didn’t deny it. Although she wasn’t as popular as those A-list stars, she was famous too. There were also many haters who disliked her on the Internet, but she didn’t care about their opinions. She felt grateful for her fans’ support, but she wouldn’t hesitate to defend herself when it was necessary.
Once Rosé, Hyunsuk and Lisa appeared, they were the focus of people’s attention.
The three of them were all good-looking people, so it was hard for other people not to pay attention to them. Most importantly, they looked quite attractive in their new clothes.
“Oh, Goddess Lisa is here!”
“She is coming!”
Many people who recognized Lisa surrounded her at once and kept screaming her name.
“Goddess Lisa! Goddess Lisa!”
“Goddess Lisa, I’m your biggest fan!”
“I love you, Goddess Lisa!”
“…”
“Thank you for your support.” Lisa smiled at her fans.
“Oh my, I finally saw Goddess Lisa in real life! She’s even more beautiful than her photos on the Internet.”
“Wow, her skin is so good, and she glows!”
“I don’t see make-up on her face at all.”
“She must be using Kouzi to take care of her skin.”
“I’m using Kouzi too.”
“Hey, look at the young man and woman who are standing next to Goddess Lisa. They’re good-looking as well.”
“I love her dress. She looks so elegant.”
“I want to buy her dress!”
“I just saw the dress in the store.”
“Really? I want to try it.”
“Me too!”
“…”
“Be careful. Don’t push other people around, and don’t get hurt in the crowd,” Lisa said when the crowd became restless and noisy.
Lisa’s words seemed to be magic, as the crowd became quiet within seconds.
After that, Lisa walked into the store, followed by many people. Luckily, the store was spacious, and could accommodate a lot of people.
They hired a lot of security guards today to prevent any accidents from happening.
Several minutes later, the invited reporters were present. Because it was a business interview, Lisa selected several media to come. She was also the first interviewee.
They had talked about the content of the business interview early on, so the reporters were aware of what they should ask about and what they shouldn’t.
Lisa answered their questions with a smile on her face and left a good impression on the audience.
Afterwards, the invited guests came, and most of them had attended the opening ceremony of Jade Beauty Jewelry last time.
People of the Tang family, the Lei family, the Tanghuang Organization, the Shengshi Organization, the Jinlin Organization, and so on showed their faces too. They had appeared at the opening ceremony of Jade Beauty Jewelry last time, but they caused a sensation again this time.
There were too many guests today, so Lisa couldn’t stay with her family the entire time, because she needed to welcome her important guests.
Tang Haifeng and others understood her work, and they could entertain themselves. Therefore, Lisa went to chat with her guests.
Many people in the high society knew about Lisa’s family connection with the Tang family, but she didn’t bother to show off, so not everyone was aware of it.
Some people still believed that Lisa only had a good relationship with the Tang family.
Actually, even if she only had a good relationship with the Tang family, it was quite shocking because the Tang family was super influential in City B.
When it was 10 am, Lisa gave a speech before they cut the ribbon. Lisa didn’t need to stay in the store for long after ribbon-cutting, so she went to have a meal with her important guests.
Because Jiah was pregnant, she didn’t join Lisa and went back home with Eunseok.
Tang Haifeng and the others also went home.
Lisa’s work was done after she finished the meal with her important guests, so she directly went home to spend more time with her family and left the rest of the work to Gao Weichao.
…
Gufan’s opening ceremony gained a lot of attention for it. Although many people bought the clothes of Gufan for Lisa’s sake, its quality deserved its prices.
Many Internet users were attracted to the news about Gufan’s opening ceremony, and they began to talk about it.
Some admired Lisa’s ability, while some disliked her way of running a business. They thought that she only relied on her connections to run a profitable business. However, no one could be successful without other people’s help.
In addition, the products or services provided by Lisa’s companies were of high quality, which mattered most in consumers’ eyes.
Even though Gufan and Lisa raised many discussions, many Internet users left positive comments on them.
Because both Jade Beauty Jewelry and Kouzi were quite successful, more and more people believed that Lisa was a smart businesswoman. It wasn’t easy to have one successful business, but Lisa had many under her name.
Moreover, it was understandable if any of her companies weren’t profitable, because businessmen learned from failure. No one was perfect in this world, and everyone had his or her own strengths and weaknesses.
Lisa was already quite outstanding among her peers.
Jeongyeon didn’t arrive at the Gufan store until 2 pm. At this time, the opening ceremony was already over a long time ago.
She was so late because she was caught in a traffic jam on the way to the airport that morning. When she finally arrived at the airport, she had to wait for a whole hour for the closest flight.
After nearly two hours of flying, she arrived at the airport of City B at 12:30 pm. She went to take a taxi later, and wasted a lot of time on the road, so she missed the opening ceremony of Gufan and failed to see Lisa.
Jeongyeon was quite upset, but it wasn’t appropriate for her to ask the staff where Lisa went. She was afraid that Lisa might find out that she was following her all the way here.
Even though she could make an excuse to see Lisa, they weren’t even friends. They had only met each other once before, so it would be strange if she purposely came to City B to see Lisa.
Anyway, she could wait for Lisa’s next trip.
Right at this moment, Lisa booked a plane ticket to the capital, and Jeongyeon soon received the news. She knew that the plane that Lisa was going to take would take off at 9:30 am tomorrow.
Without hesitation, Jeongyeon booked a plane ticket for the same flight as Lisa. She decided to follow Lisa and go to the capital. After that, she went to have a rest in a hotel.
…
In the afternoon, Tang Yunrong and her husband came to visit the Tang family.
Lisa had told them that she also had prepared clothes from Gufan for their family. Therefore, they came to have dinner with the Tang family and picked up their gifts.
Tang Yunrong hadn’t seen Lisa for a long time, so she happily agreed to share a meal with her.
Except for Seungho who was in Country Y now, all of the other members of the Tang family gathered together that night.
…
Jungkook went back to the capital in the evening, and he directly went back to the Jeon family’s house to see Master Jeon because Lisa wasn’t there.
Soyeon was still in the hospital now, but luckily her condition was getting much better day by day.
Master Jeon, however, was upset these days, because he learned the truth about Soyeon’s sickness. He went to visit Soyeon two days ago, but didn’t tell Jiang Shuyuan that he was coming, so Jiang Shuyuan and Soyeon didn’t pay much attention to what they were saying.
Because Soyeon had suffered a lot of pain, she hated Lisa more than ever.
“Why wasn’t Gu Lisa killed last time? I hate her!” Soyeon clenched her teeth. She wished that Lisa had been killed in the car accident last time.
Because she believed that Lisa must have found out that she was the mastermind of the car accident so she was heavily beaten because of Lisa too. She knew that Lisa purposely refused to help her. However, even though she knew that Lisa did that on purpose, she couldn’t do anything about it in case her dirty secret was exposed.
Actually, if Lisa hadn’t stopped Jungkook, Jungkook would have disabled Soyeon early on.
Soyeon knew it very well, so she only dared to curse at Lisa behind her back.
Unfortunately, she didn’t know that Master Jeon was listening to their conversation outside the ward.
Master Jeon was totally shocked when he heard that. He didn’t know what Soyeon was talking about, but he had a feeling that it was something serious.
Master Jeon was an old man of great wisdom, and he soon realized that Soyeon must have schemed against Lisa before. As a result, Lisa had heavily beaten Soyeon.
In that case, he understood why Lisa refused to help Soyeon.
Master Jeon was full of anger once he figured out the truth. However, Lisa said nothing about it for his sake.
Master Jeon curbed his anger and forced himself to calm down so that he could hear what Jiang Shuyuan and Soyeon were going to talk about.
“Alright, stop cursing her. What if other people find it out?” Jiang Shuyuan stopped Soyeon.
“I just hate her!” Soyeon said. “No one will know.”
