Wu Jinyan thought for a moment and said, “Naturally, 1 would open a rouge and cosmetic shop. However, a shop of this size is too small, and the income wouldn’t be ideal. Moreover, hiring experienced and skilled personnel would require careful arrangements.”

Su Yingxue patted her hand confidently and said, “Then I’ll leave the shop and the arrangements to you, sister.”

“You bought this shop for me, Yingxue?” Wu Jinyan felt a hint of guilt and a sense of inferiority she couldn’t explain.

Although she was humble, she had been self-reliant since she was young. She had done favors to others, but she rarely received favors from others. This would make her feel that she was useless.

It was true that she had cut off all ties with the Minister’s Estate, so she was indeed no great use.

Su Yingxue looked at Wu Jinyan seriously and clarified, “No, I did it to make money. Sister, you know that for a woman to establish herself in the world, she must first have the property.”

Wu Jinyan’s admiration for Su Yingxue grew even more. She could see things more clearly than most women, and that quality was indeed important.

In this world, even if a man was born into a humble family, he could still rely on his abilities to make a name for himself.

However, it was much more difficult for women.

From birth, their destinies were largely determined. Before marriage, they relied on their parents’ family background, and after marriage, they depended on their husbands. They couldn’t strive openly and didn’t have the same opportunities to compete on equal terms with men.

Su Yingxue was born in a Marquis’s Manor and should have enjoyed a lofty position, but her foresight and advanced thinking were admirable and made her more attractive to spend time with.

However, Wu Jinyan still had some concerns, “Although I’m familiar with spices and have some knowledge of rouge and cosmetics, this shop is too big. Starting construction will be a considerable expense, and if I can’t make it profitable…”

“Sister Jinyan, you dared to sever ties with the Minister’s Estate and leave on your own. Don’t you have the courage to manage a shop well? Or are you worried that if my brother finds out that 1 gave you the shop, it would damage your image in front of him?” Su Yingxue pointed out directly.

Wu Jinyan blushed slightly. “That’s true.”

“So, Sister Jinyan, you will manage this place well and prove to my brother that he is a young general and that you are not weak, right?” Su Yingxue’s words struck a chord in Wu Jinyan’s heart.

Since the day she found out about Su Hao’s identity, she had felt inferior. Why didn’t she have a noble status like Wu Ruofei? If she did, she believed she could be with Su Hao.

However, she thought of her mother who loved her very much. Even though her mother was born into a prostitute family and had a humble status, she was still a proud woman. She had taught her since she was young that a woman should have a backbone and be independent.

Therefore, even if her identity was worlds apart from Su Hao’s, she had never completely given up.

Now that she had the opportunity, she naturally wanted to give it a try.

Looking at Su Yingxue with gratitude, Wu Jinyan said, “As long as you trust me, I won’t let you down.”

“No wonder my brother likes you so much, Sister Jinyan. Your courage and determination are no less than a man’s.” Su Yingxue smiled.

After they looked around the shop, they returned to the clinic.

Although Wu Jinyan was eager to seize the opportunity, Su Yingxue didn’t want her to work too hard. At the very least, she had to let her recover before she opened the shop.

Wu Jinyan had not been idle over the past few days. She began to plan and arrange the shop..
