Chapter 232: Keeping a gigolo doesn't end well, Sister Lu is sober

In his entire life, it was the first time that Liu Changfa had seen such a beautiful woman, who was even more beautiful than the movie actresses on the calendar. That day, he accompanied a client to buy clothes, but under the influence of Sister Lu's every move and smile, he bought more than ten pieces in a daze. After returning home, he made up his mind to marry Sister Lu as his wife.

If he could give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Sister Lu, it would be such a great honor for his ancestors!

"Go, go, go, don't delay me from selling clothes. Director Liu, with your family wealth, you can marry a virgin girl. Don't make trouble in front of me!"

Sister Lu pushed him aside and went to receive the guests.

She was almost convinced just now, but fortunately she braked in time and did not jump into the fire pit.

Men’s words are deceiving. She is an old hand, but she almost fell for it.

"I just like you, Lulu, I won't give up!"

Liu Changfa didn't pester her any more. He took out a few boxes of cakes from his bag and said attentively, "I bought several of your favorite cream squares and chestnut cakes. You and your colleagues can enjoy them slowly!"

"Take it back, hey..."

Sister Lu wanted to return it to him, but this guy ran away very fast.

"Really!"

Sister Lu said something annoyed and shared the cake with other salespeople. She only scooped out a small piece of chestnut cake for herself, as eating too much would make one fat.

Xia Qingqing and Zhuang Hongye watched the show for a long time and were very happy.

"Sister Lu has driven away at least ten people this month, and these two are the ones who persevered to the end." Zhuang Hongye said with a smile.

"Sister Lu's charm is equal to that of a division!"

Xia Qingqing made a joke, but it wasn't too exaggerated. With Sister Lu's charm and means, if it were during wartime, she would definitely be an excellent beautiful agent.

"Sister Lu, don't you consider Liu Changfa?"

Xia Qingqing got a piece of chestnut cake and it tasted very good. While eating the cake, she thought of Eileen Chang. This talented woman loved chestnut cake the most.

"Walk into the Cheeselin Cafe, order a cup of black coffee and a piece of chestnut flour cake, and happily spend a leisurely autumn afternoon."

Zhang Ailing mentioned chestnut cake many times in her articles, and it was obvious that she loved it very much.

Cream Squares

Chestnut Cake

In her previous life, Xia Qingqing read a lot of books, including those written by Eileen Chang. She liked the old Shanghai city described by this legendary talent, as well as the ways of the world, which were particularly interesting.

"Why consider him? Being a stepmother?"

Sister Lu glared, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, then lit a cigarette. Her smoking posture was extremely seductive. So far, Xia Qingqing had never seen a woman who looked better when smoking than Sister Lu.

"It's actually quite good to be alone, and as long as you have money, it's okay to support a few young ones."

Xia Qingqing lowered her voice and joked.

"Forget it. Keeping a gigolo won't end well."

Sister Lu blew out a smoke ring and showed little interest in keeping a gigolo.

My adoptive mother used to be the top dancer in Paramount, but she only held that position for two years. The dancers in Paramount were replaced very quickly, especially the top dancer. It was amazing if she could last for two years. The outdated famous dancers usually saved a lot of money. They either married rich men as concubines, changed their careers to act in movies, or retired and lived alone.

Grandma Xia Qingqing was the former. It was originally a very good path, but unfortunately Meng Jiao was too stupid and ended up with a tragic death.

It’s good to act in movies, but few people can make it.

Her adoptive mother chose the third option. She saved some money for retirement and did not marry. She adopted her and lived with her daughter. If it were not for the war, she and her adoptive mother would definitely have lived a good life.

But many retired red-hot dancers can't stand the loneliness and keep gigolos, but they are basically cheated of their money and sex and end up miserably.

When her adoptive mother was conscious, she repeatedly warned her not to spend money on men, no matter how good-looking they were. It was better to marry a rich and ugly man than a poor gigolo.

Sister Lu listened to her adoptive mother very much. Her adoptive mother's life was actually a successful one. She was able to deal with foreigners, gang leaders, Japanese devils and wealthy people in Paramount and still get away unscathed. She also saved a lot of money, which was enough for her to live a rich life.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. When war broke out, her adoptive mother took her to hide from place to place. After finally waiting for the war to end, she was reported and arrested for reform. She almost lost her life and her property was confiscated.

A customer came, Sister Lu exchanged for a cigarette and walked over to greet them in a swaying manner. The customers were a young couple who had just come into the store to take a look and had no intention of buying anything.

"Are you two going to get married soon?"

After a quick look, Sister Lu guessed that they were out buying wedding supplies.

The young couple blushed and nodded.

Sister Lu smiled slightly and picked out a silk pajamas that was a little transparent from a rack of clothes.

"Little sister, you only get married once in your life, and you only have one wedding night. Believe me, this dress will definitely make your wedding night unforgettable for the rest of your life!"

The young couple's faces turned even redder. They had never heard such explicit words before. Although they were shy, they felt a little expectant in their hearts.

Especially the young men, they would look at the pajamas in Sister Lu's hand from time to time and ask the price in a low voice.

"It's not expensive. It's made of real silk. It's 35 yuan a piece. It's very comfortable to wear. It's the latest style. Do you want to try it, little sister?"

Sister Lu saw that they were interested and tried her best to persuade them.

"Then give it a try!"

The girl was also tempted. She had never worn such revealing clothes before. But it was just pajamas, and she could wear it at night where no one would see her. She wanted to give it a try.

After all, Sister Lu is right. The wedding night only happens once in a lifetime and should not be treated casually.

The girl took her pajamas to the dressing room. After changing, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her face was red and hot, and she didn't dare to go out.

But, it looks really special when worn like this, and she thinks it looks good.

“I… bought it.”

The girl changed into her original clothes and came out with pajamas. She spoke in a low voice and didn't dare to look up, as if buying such pajamas was a very shameful thing.

"I wish you two a long and happy marriage and a son soon. This pair of socks is a small gift from our store to you."

Sister Lu took out a pair of red socks and put them together with her pajamas.

"Thank you."

The couple was coaxed into smiling and went to pay happily.

Next, customers came in wave after wave, and Sister Lu and the other sales clerks were so busy that they had almost no rest time in the day, and they were basically spending most of their time receiving customers.

Xia Qingqing observed and found that the amount of clothes sold by Sister Lu was almost the total of the other three salespersons combined, making her the top seller.

"Everyone has worked hard today. The hotel will deliver lunch to you later. It's my treat!"

Xia Qingqing had just ordered lunch at a nearby restaurant. The employees were working hard, and as the boss, she certainly couldn't be stingy.

"Thank you, President Xia!"

The three sales clerks were all young girls, and they shouted with joy.

Their monthly salary is about 1,000 yuan now, and the total salary of the whole family is not as high as her monthly salary.
