Forcing Me to Be Reborn?!

The years haven't left many traces on her face. As she walks along, passersby frequently turn their heads, assuming they've encountered an exceptionally striking woman in her early thirties.

This is the power of money.

Beauty is a consumable.

Many people are born with it.

But as you age, you need to spend money to maintain it.

Quickly, Meng Yue arrives at Bo Te's store entrance. She doesn't hurry to go in, instead standing outside for a moment and peering inside.

"There are quite a lot of customers in the store," Meng Yue thinks.

Lin Lu is now like a store assistant, busy inside.

The voice-over girl is pretty energetic; though it's tiring, her sense of involvement is strong.

However, Meng Yue soon notices that more people are looking than buying inside.

"It's not that sales are bad, I see people queuing to pay."

"It's just that compared to the flow of people, the number of buyers is relatively small," she muses.

Meng Yue understands this.

The price of blind boxes is not cheap.

The trendy toys in Bo Te range from tens to thousands in price.

The cheapest are still two digits.

But anyway, judging by the samples on display, the quality is indeed very good.

In fact, blind boxes really sell better once they become trendy.

Because this type of consumer goods needs to have added value.

Meng Yue holds a favorable opinion of the blind box format.

She also acknowledges the domestic trendy toy market.

"Especially this year, you can clearly feel that when customers design and decorate, they consider incorporating some trendy toy decorations."

Meng Yue recalls, two months ago, a customer asked the designer to reserve a spot at a wall corner, hollow it out, then install a glass panel to place her Lego Disney Castle inside.

But her current thought is only: "If it really takes off, reaching a valuation of ten digits might be possible?"

It takes some time for Lin Lu inside the store to notice her mother standing outside.

She immediately waves to Meng Yue.

This charming woman smiles and walks in, saying to her daughter, "Aren't you going to show me around?"

"Sure, Sister Yue," Lin Lu agrees with a smile.

The entire Bo Te space is actually much larger than Youu Tea in Star City.

Such stores need to be big to have a visual impact.

If it were just a small storefront, it would seem petty, and that feeling wouldn't exist.

After a brief tour, Meng Yue picks up a box of Molly blind boxes.

The box has all the styles of the series depicted on it, a total of 11.

However, the 11th style is in black on the box, revealing only a rough silhouette, marked with a small question mark.

"Oh, there are hidden styles in the blind box?" Meng Yue remarks with a smile.

She thinks this is indeed a clever idea.

Not exceptionally novel but definitely effective!

Especially given the high price of the blind boxes themselves!

"Yes, a little trick Cheng Zhu came up with," Lin Lu nods.

After speaking, the quirky energetic girl lowers her voice mischievously, asking, "Do you want one? If you do, I can figure out a way to get you one?"

"I'll pass," Meng Yue laughs.

Nearby, Jiang Wanzhou and Ji Shiwen, who are busy, also notice this and immediately come over to greet her.

Ji Shiwen has met Meng Yue many times and even shared a few meals together.

"Auntie," the two greet Meng Yue.

Meng Yue nods, checks the time, and says, "It's mealtime, and you probably haven't eaten yet, right?"

"No, Sister Yue, are you treating us?" Lin Lu immediately asks.

"Well... it's not impossible," Meng Yue smiles.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanzhou declines: "Auntie, let Lin Lu and Shiwen go with you. I'll grab a bite later; I probably can't leave now."

"That's fine," Meng Yue nods.

Finally, she takes Lin Lu and Ji Shiwen upstairs for some Sichuan cuisine.

Along the way, she gossips a little about Jiang Wanzhou and Ji Shiwen.

Seeing Ji Shiwen looking embarrassed, Meng Yue says, "Auntie isn't such an old-fashioned person; university students dating is no big deal."

After ordering, Meng Yue asks, "Did Ningning come today?"

She thinks this store was co-opened by Shen Qingning's cousin and best friend, so she should be present.

"She came by this morning," Lin Lu answers, "but she's got too much going on with the milk tea place, so she didn't stay long."

"Is Youu Tea busy?" Meng Yue asks.

"Yes, Cheng Zhu has been dumping a lot of things on Ningning to handle," Lin Lu replies.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yue perks right up.

"Let me ask you two, Ningning and Cheng Zhu, are they... hmm?" Meng Yue's face shows a significant smile.

Her tone and expression are just too obvious.

She's plainly asking if they're really dating.

Meng Yue has read a lot of gossip online, and it's quite fun!

This completely stuns Lin Lu and Ji Shiwen facing her!

Yet their expressions are completely different.

Strange! So strange!

Despite Little Lu inheriting much of her mother's temperament, Meng Yue is still a successful woman over forty.

How could she not notice that there's definitely something going on here!

Especially looking at Ji Shiwen's expression!

"What's the situation here?" she asks out loud.

Ji Shiwen and Lin Lu immediately exchange a flustered look.

She looks at Lin Lu with a questioning gaze, her big eyes full of "what do we do?"

She's truly dumbfounded.

What's going on, how could Auntie think Cheng Zhu is dating Shen Qingning!

My goodness!

Lin Lu grits her teeth, gives Ji Shiwen a helpless look, then tilts her head slightly toward her mother, signaling Ji Shiwen to speak.

"Auntie, Cheng Zhu is Lu Lu's boyfriend!"
