Xia Chuyi slightly furrowed her brows, looking at Xia Lan with great surprise in her heart.
Why would Xia Lan be here?
Xia Chuyi remembered that the last time she saw Xia Lan, Xia Lan was in quite a disheveled state.
At that time, some of Xia Lan's words and actions made Xia Chuyi suspect that, like her, Xia Lan had been reborn—or perhaps, by some chance, had learned about some future events.
In any case, because of this, Xia Chuyi had asked Chang Luhui to help her keep an eye on Xia Lan.
But during the process, the watchful person was slightly careless, and Xia Lan had slipped away.
After that, she had lost track of Xia Lan's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, several months later, Xia Lan had appeared in Capital City, right in front of her.
And judging by Xia Lan's attire, she seemed to be doing quite well.
"Xia Chuyi?" When Xia Lan saw her, there was also a moment of stunned silence.
However, it was soon over, and Xia Lan concealed her surprise, revealing an ambiguous smile as she said, "So the 'Youwei' in Capital City is yours too, huh."
Xia Lan walked in with her head half-raised and a smile, glanced around the restaurant, and said with a laugh, "Xia Chuyi, you seem to be doing quite well now."
Xia Chuyi's brows further furrowed.
Xia Lan's current aura was quite unsettling to her.
Her whole presence seemed to exude an annoying sense of superiority, as if she was looking down from on high with all her ducks in a row.
Xia Chuyi thought to herself, what exactly happened that made Xia Lan change so dramatically in just a few short months?
"Xia Lan, what are you doing here? If you have no business, please leave," Xia Chuyi calmly looked at her and said indifferently.
No matter what Xia Lan was planning, she maintained the same attitude, ready to deal with anything that came her way—be it soldier or flood.
Surprisingly, Xia Lan did not look upset after hearing Xia Chuyi's words but instead smiled and said, "Chuyi, after all, we used to be sisters. Why do you speak so distantly?"
Xia Chuyi remained indifferent, saying, "This place is for business, and we don't welcome idlers."
At these words, Xia Lan smiled and said, "Oh, I see, you think I'm interfering with your business?"
Then, Xia Lan leisurely pulled out her wallet, fetched a one-yuan note, and said to her, "If that's the case, let me help with your income. Here, this is one yuan, give me a serving of braised pork rice."
But Xia Chuyi just calmly watched her and replied, "Take back your money, 'Youwei's' braised pork rice is not for sale to you."
Xia Lan chuckled, shook her head, and said, "Chuyi, you really are stubborn. Why refuse money when you are running a business?"
"Hey, who are you to dictate how our family does business?" At this point, Qian Qianqian could no longer stand it and came forward to directly yell, "Lady, please leave!"
Xia Lan glanced at Xia Qianqian from the corner of her eye, not taking her seriously. She smiled again at Xia Chuyi and said, "Chuyi, is this how your family treats its guests?"
Her tone was clearly scornful.
Xia Chuyi let out a cold laugh and looked at her indifferently, saying, "Xia Lan, please leave. Youwei's braised pork rice is only for people, not for reptiles."
At these words, Xia Lan was taken aback before she became somewhat angry and asked, "What are you implying, Xia Chuyi?"
Xia Chuyi remained expressionless and replied, "The literal meaning."
"That's right, our braised pork rice is only for people, not for reptiles!" Qian Qianqian stood with her arms akimbo, directly shouting at Xia Lan.
