Novel Full Chapter 1178: The mall officially opened!
Yu Cheng was not as rotten as their grandfather but he was selfish to his bones. Yu Tong did not want to stay close to a person like him which was why she acted like she did not see Yu Cheng, even though she did a moment ago.
Anyway, as long as she pretended to be blind and refused to acknowledge, there was no way Yu Cheng would shamelessly take the first step forward. He had too big of a pride to do so after getting snubbed.
In fact, Yu Tong had to admit that this was the only good thing about Yu Cheng, he was prideful and never did anything embarrassing which was contrary to their grandfather who would have thrown a tantrum if she had refused to look at him.
Yu Dong on the other hand really did not see Yu Cheng, in fact, it was not her fault. She hadn’t recovered most of this body’s host memories after she woke up in this world, Yu Dong did not know who Yu Cheng was and she did not even know how he looked, thus even when she glanced at him a few times, she did not recognize him and the rest of the family pretended to not recognize Yu Cheng.
After all, this was a big thing for them. How could they spoil it because of someone like Yu Cheng? It was better to let the entire matter settle down and then deal with it.
” He truly is shameless, has he forgotten how he used to eat chicken when he used to come back? I did not even get soup! And I was pregnant back then!” Chen Mi hissed angrily. He had never forgotten how he was treated at the time of his pregnancy. Doctor Gu told Old Master Tong that he needed to be given more nutrition, which was why Grandma Yu often brought back chicken from the town. The result?
All that chicken went inside Yu Cheng’s belly including the soup!
” Hush, don’t look at him. If he sees you watching, he will think that we are avoiding him deliberately and he will cause a scene. Leave him alone,” Ye Liu said to Chen Mi who huffed and looked away from Yu Cheng who was talking with Song Yixu.
He wished he could send Yu Cheng packing, even though he did not even meet with Yu Cheng, he knew what was going on in the head of that man after seeing Yu Dong talk with Song Yixu and the rest.
” It’s time!” Chen Ying shouted as she lit up the firecrackers and the sound of booms and bangs echoed in the street. The Bun and Bo Mall had officially opened!
The moment, the firecrackers were lighted, a few mers covered their ears while some of the mers covered their eyes as it was too bright for them. The people on the street clapped and cheered while two servers came out with the special chocolate made from guarana powder-covered strawberries.
They placed them neatly on the tray and smiling handed them to the people on the street who took the chocolate strawberries with a surprised look on their faces.
” What is this? It tastes really good!”
” I haven’t eaten something like this before, haha looks like we are in for a surprise!”
” Congratulations Madam Yu! You are going to attain more and more success!”
Yu Dong smiled at the people who were congratulating her and then said, ” You all can come in and take a look, we are not going to charge a fee for entrance,” she joked causing the commoners who looked at the mall as something intimidating to relax a bit. They could enter and leave as they wished.
They followed Yu Dong inside the mall wanting to see what was different about her mall.
Yu Cheng on the other hand was quite feeling quite complicated, how was it possible for Yu Dong to become so successful? What in the world was going on and why did his mother not tell him anything? If he knew that Yu Dong was earning so much money and knew so many influential people, he would have tried to reach out to her.
After all, she was a merchant, she would sooner or later need the help of a scholar like him.
” Ah Cheng what are you thinking?” His friend asked. He pointed to the mall and then said, “Let’s go inside and take a look as well.”
Yu Cheng agreed, he wanted to see what kind of ‘mall’ Yu Dong had opened that so many people came to congratulate her. He entered the mall with the rest of the customers and was left speechless.
The mall was designed in a way that it looked completely out of the world. Whether it was the wooden cravings, the chandeliers on the ceilings or the large fans that gave cool air every once in a while. It was just a shop but it gave off a really luxurious feeling which made many onlookers suck it a breath.
Was this all right? Can they really enter this place as they like?
The onlookers looked around as they climbed up the stairs of the mall, it was then they noticed that Yu Dong was not just selling groceries but she had also opened a theatre, which was showing a new show that they had never seen before.
The mers who were the regular customers of the mer bar felt their eyes light up as they looked at the posters that were pasted in front of the three theatres. They could actually choose what show they wanted and each show was three hours long.
Then doesn’t that mean that they could spend time here? Now they did not have to worry about their wives visiting some other mer concubine! As long as they were upset they could come here to have fun.
As they walked a bit more, they noticed that there were counters of snacks that were selling numerous items. Some of those snacks were something that they had never seen before!
