Chapter 38 Rent A Shop

When Andrew learned that Ashley was just the adopted child of the Mu family, he frowned and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

He continued to read through the documents that contained Ashley's background information. Although he never had anything to do with Ashley in the past, he had made up his mind that he wanted to be in her life from now on and in the future.

With this in mind, Andrew felt confident about being together with her and living a happy life together.

When he further found out that Ashley was in a relationship with Raymond in college, Andrew furrowed his eyebrows again.

And when he came across photos of Ashley and Raymond together he felt even more miserable. Some of the photos showed them hand in hand walking on campus, and another one was of them enjoying a meal together in a restaurant with the happiness plain to see on their faces.

The photos really made Andrew jealous and unhappy.

He also realized that Ashley had never smiled at him like that

nor had she had a meal with him in a restaurant or taken a stroll hand in hand with him.

If Ashley knew that Andrew had a complete file on her and what was on his mind at this moment. She would surely be speechless with surprise and perhaps even annoyed with him.

After all, they had only known each other for a few days and just met twice. They weren't familiar with each other at all.

How could Andrew start to think about having a meal with Ashley and walking hand in hand with her? Moreover, he even wanted her to smile at him, the same way she did in the photos. It seemed that Andrew started to indulge in his own wishful thinking now.

It was obvious that Andrew had become silly and not sensible anymore, after meeting Ashley.

However, he himself didn't realize that.

While browsing through the photos of Raymond, Andrew couldn't help but fix his eyes on him for a while and compared himself with Raymond.

Well, Andrew thought that Raymond wasn't as handsome as he was, or as tall as him.

Raymond also didn't have a good figure like he did

and was not as rich as him.

In Andrew's eyes, Raymond just looked like an idle young man who was good-for-nothing.

Andrew really couldn't see what Ashley saw in him at that time.

After seeing Raymond's photos and reading his background information, Andrew took an instant dislike to him.

And, when he found out that Raymond even hooked up with Ashley's sister, he was mo

akes, so I believe that your business will definitely be thriving.

Oh, sorry, let me introduce myself. My name is Beck Chen. You can call me Beck," the middle-aged man said.

"Okay, Beck."

The shop was clean, neat and cozy. It was decorated in a simple style and the tables and chairs were beige in color.

Although the shop was a little small, the interior layout and decoration were wonderful.

Judging by the layout and decoration, the shop might have been a restaurant before.

"Beck, I guess your business might have been very good before as there are a lot of people around here. But why do you want to rent out the shop?" Ashley asked him after briefly glancing around.

She could tell that Beck Chen had put in a lot of time and energy into decorating the shop.

"To tell the truth, I didn't want to rent the shop out in the beginning. However, there has been a family emergency and I am in dire need of money. So I have no choice but to rent the shop out," Beck Chen explained, as he subconsciously fidgeted with his clothes.

Ashley and Ellie nodded.

"Miss Mu, Miss Su, what do you think of the shop?"

"Well, on the whole, it's not bad. The shop meets our requirements. By the way, how much is the rent for a month?" Ellie asked.

"You might be aware that J City is a busy metropolitan city, where the price of land and housing prices are very high. The shop is located in a very busy street that attracts very high traffic, so the rent is a bit higher. But I believe that you are serious and have every intention of renting the shop, so I can reduce the rent to ten thousand a month," Beck Chen responded.
