Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 893: Chapter 892: To Err Is Human

The dress has been sent for style modification, it still requires a half-hour wait.

”For the modified one, I’ll offer a seventy percent discount. Miss Bai, you can also choose another dress.”

Ding Suzhu is well-versed in business and understands that Bai Yingqing doesn’t like the modified dress, so she deliberately offers a discount policy.

In a place like this, the daughters of wealthy families wouldn’t care about the cost.

However, being able to buy two dresses for the price of one is truly a bargain.

Bai Yingqing was slightly surprised and said, ”How can I accept this?” Having no familial tie with Ding Suzhu, accepting the discount seemed like taking advantage.

”The store just opened, not many customers know about it yet; consider it as drawing Miss Bai back as a returning client.” Ding Huizhu said with subtlety, intelligently stopping at the right moment.

”Please wrap that white dress. In the future, when choosing dresses, I’ll prioritize this place.” Bai Yingqing replied with a calm smile, intending not to take advantage of Mrs. Ding’s generosity, even considering bringing more people to buy dresses.

Ding Suzhu waved her hand to signal the clerk to pack the dress and chuckled lightly, ”The back of the store is a resting area; I’ll bring coffee to the young ladies later.”

”Thank you very much, madam.”

Gu Tong and Bai Yingqing said in unison.

The level of hospitality here is truly top-notch, not to mention being personally attended to by a wealthy matriarch, which shows substantial respect.

Ding Suzhu escorted them to the resting area, served coffee and snacks, and then left them undisturbed, continuing with her work.

The resting area features a white wooden table and two chair-shaped swings, offering a very leisurely feeling.

”It seems Mrs. Ding isn’t like the rumors.” Bai Yingqing spoke first, her brows slightly furrowed.

After all, they had spoken poorly of Mrs. Ding before coming here, and now seeing her cordiality toward them naturally made Bai Yingqing feel uneasy.

”Many people are different upon closer acquaintance.” It’s important to know that there are countless people who know how to disguise themselves in this world; Gu Tong understands this well.

”With time, people eventually fear trouble.” Bai Yingqing stirred her coffee, lost in thought.

Indeed, many people are afraid of unnecessary trouble, and when they encounter troubles, anyone would retreat.

So, when encountering situations like Mrs. Ding, people tend not to delve deeply but rather avoid it altogether.

”That’s reasonable.”

Gu Tong couldn’t help but recall the years after Li Yan encountered troubles in a previous life, those times when she was a scourged woman despised by many; aside from close family and friends, who would stand up for her? The indifferent stance of people is an eternal human trait; sometimes refraining from kicking others when they’re down is the greatest form of kindness.

”Thus, much is missed, much is lost.”

Bai Yingqing, being a daughter of a prestigious family, naturally understands how to navigate life cautiously, resulting in a selective approach to friendships, and often fearing trouble, thus avoiding excessive closeness, worried the other party might have ill intentions.

Perhaps only someone like Bai Yingqing could truly grasp the meaning behind Gu Tong’s words.

”Living in this world, striving for a clear conscience is fulfilling one’s life.”

Gu Tong savored some coffee while sharing these thoughts, which she had only come to comprehend after one lifetime.

If she had understood this wisdom earlier in their past lives, they wouldn’t have taken so many detours.

”Thinking is easy, truly achieving it is extremely difficult.”

Every family has its own challenges; even the daughters of affluent families face similar situations where things cannot always be desired as they wish, leading to additional helplessness.
