Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 495

Tang Yue turned to the side, sizing up Luo Juan. Luo Juan used to be outstanding in looks and figure, but after not seeing her for several years, her complexion had turned sallow, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked on excitedly, and her clothes seemed to have been worn for years, washed to a faded white.

At this point, Luo Juan possessed none of her past beauty.

"I'm Luo Juan, remember? I was supposed to become the spokesperson," Luo Juan said, embarrassed about bringing up the spokesperson topic, but she had to mention it.

Seeing Tang Yue's silence as though she didn't recognize her made Luo Juan wish she could make Tang Yue remember her immediately.

"Mhm." Tang Yue nodded, raising a faint smile as she asked, "Is there something you need?"

Bai Qing stood beside Tang Yue. She had gone to cook for An Chong yesterday, and was shocked when she heard from Tang Jun about the car accident on the street.

She really hadn't expected An Chong to... actually chase after her to this rundown place in Wangjiang County just for a meal.

"Tang Yue, no, Miss Tang, Boss Tang," Luo Juan said nervously, clutching her hands as she shifted through various titles, wanting to speak but not knowing how to begin.

"Would you like to come in to talk?" Tang Yue suggested, looking at the bustling street: "Sister Hong, Sister Yue."

"Little boss?" Gai Xiaoyue and Zhao Hong got quite excited when they saw Tang Yue.

They particularly liked Tang Yue, the little boss. When they were not good at selling clothes before, it was Tang Yue who guided them, teaching them how to effectively sell clothes. She taught them the tricks of the trade that helped them secure stable jobs at the clothing store.

Thanks to the commission per piece, the wages of Gai Xiaoyue and Zhao Hong were quite substantial, much higher than an average female worker.

"Just call me Xiao Yue," Tang Yue cheerfully corrected.

Before she could utter another word, the two women were already bringing over water. Tang Yue exchanged a few pleasantries and then turned to Luo Juan: "Luo Juan, there are no customers right now. You can speak freely."

After accepting the cup of tea, Luo Juan stood there, hesitating, clearly with something to say. Anyone with eyes could see that Luo Juan was troubled.

"I..." Luo Juan couldn't bring herself to say a full sentence.

Tang Yue watched her with a fluid gaze, sensing the underlying reason for Luo Juan's visit.

"I, I want to shoot a commercial, for your clothing," Luo Juan blurted out with a flushed face, head lowered, feeling more embarrassed than she'd ever been in her life.

"Luo Juan, it was you who initially accepted the commercial offer and then abruptly backed out. I even went to your home to ask about your intentions," Tang Yue spoke slowly and deliberately.

Regret deepening in her eyes, Luo Juan opened Pandora's box and became choked up as she began to speak.

Soon enough, Tang Yue understood that Luo Juan had made a poor match. Luo Juan, once treated like a treasure, was now childless and divorced. Left with no options, she had thought of trying her luck at Mingyue Clothing Store.

It was unexpected for Luo Juan to be so fortunate as to chance upon Tang Yue.

"I empathize with your situation, but you can no longer shoot the commercial," Tang Yue said sincerely.

Tang Yue was not fond of Luo Juan. If Luo Juan had outright refused at the beginning, perhaps Tang Yue would have considered giving her a chance now, but since Luo Juan had accepted the job only to back out at the last minute, the commercial would have failed had Sister Cai not stepped in to fill her place.
