Five days later, Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci set off at four in the morning and took turns driving, arriving at their destination, West City Huyang Street, in the early afternoon.
Shen Ci was here to acquire a shoe factory.
Thinking that Boss Shen had made his first pot of gold in his past life precisely from this shoe factory, Meng Chuyue mentally gave him a thumbs up.
She didn’t say anything else.
He had done so well in his past life, so she didn’t want to gild the lily.
By the time they finished their official business, it was already past five in the afternoon. The two drove to the most fashionable Delighted Restaurant in the area and were about to go in for a meal when suddenly someone called out their names, "Shen Ci, Sister Chuyue."
The pair looked towards the source of the voice and saw Han Muyang stepping down from an Audi that had just parked at the curb.
Ha, what a coincidence.
Although Han Muyang was a decent person, to be honest, they didn’t really need him today.
They hoped he would just say hello and leave.
Contrary to their wishes, the next second Erhu burst out of Han Muyang’s car and landed squarely on Meng Chuyue’s left shoulder.
Then Han Zheng, Han Xiao, and Han Mi got out of the car one after another.
After getting out of the car, Han Mi was as excited as Erhu and lunged toward Meng Chuyue, but once she saw Shen Ci, her face immediately turned red, and she became well-behaved.
After exchanging pleasantries, hearing that Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue were planning to visit the antique street the next day, Han Muyang eagerly asked Han Zheng, "Dad, I want to go with them."
From the side, Han Mi whispered, "Dad, I want to go too."
Han Zheng squinted his eyes, "I want to go too; so, tomorrow Han Xiao, you take Xiao Liu to take care of business, and I will accompany the two young friends to the antique street with Muyang."
Han Mi was about to protest when Han Zheng spoke again, "A visit by invitation is not as good as an unexpected encounter. Why don’t I host for the two young friends’ food and accommodation over the next few days to show gratitude for taking care of Muyang the other day?"
Han Muyang’s eyes lit up at the proposal, and he eagerly invited, "Ah Ci, Sister Chuyue, you must agree, otherwise I’ll never be able to face you again."
Han Mi was also happy, "Right, right, you... must agree."
Meng Chuyue had thought Han Muyang was a bookworm but didn’t expect him to be so cute and amiable. She couldn’t help but find it amusing.
However, she dared not show it; knowing Shen Ci was sensitive, she looked at him tenderly, "Brother, you decide."
Shen Ci hoped that he and Meng Chuyue wouldn’t have any third wheels around them, but considering being with the Han Family was safer, and he could also use Han Zheng’s connections to help Meng Chuyue buy more genuine antiques, he nodded, "Then we would be disrespectfully accepting your hospitality."
Han Muyang jumped in excitement and introduced, "This Delighted Restaurant is owned by our family, and today we not only eat here but can also stay here."
Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue, "..."
Well, that’s quite nice.
The food at Delighted Restaurant was decent, but Han Muyang readily admitted that it wasn’t as delicious as what Meng Chuyue made.
Han Zheng smiled and said, "The cake that day was indeed delicious."
After he finished speaking, he served Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci a spoonful of mandarin fish soup each, "Since you think this dish is not bad, have some more."
Shen Ci, "Thank you."
Meng Chuyue, "Thank you."
Meng Chuyue was overwhelmed with feelings; adding up both her lives, aside from Shen Ci, Han Zheng was the first person to serve her food.
Ah, should she feel sad about her past or happy about her present?
Han Zheng was also feeling sentimental, sighing to himself that he finally did something for his biological daughter.
In their past lives, when the true identities of Meng Chuyue, Lin Fangwei, and Zhao Xiaoxin were publicly revealed, he was being treated for leukemia in a sanatorium.
To avoid worsening his condition, Han Muxuan and others concealed the news from him. When he accidentally heard about the baby-switching scandal from a fellow patient one day and inquired with Han Xiao, Meng Chuyue had already died from a poisonous smoke, but the murderer had never been found.
