Meng Chuyue now felt nausea, rather than nostalgia, when Meng Lixing brought up Meng Wanhua.
She pretended not to understand and said, "What did you say? That Meng Yajun and Meng Yuzhu should kneel down to apologize to me? I’d advise against it, be careful my students might beat them up if they find out."
Having said that, Meng Chuyue walked away without looking back.
Yes, he had forgotten that before he came here, Meng Yinhua had told him that many of Meng Chuyue’s tutoring students were sons and daughters of influential families.
Meng Chuyue had really soared to great heights.
How could she still view them highly?
Knowing that their kneeling could not threaten Meng Chuyue, and that they might even get beaten up for it, Meng Lixing sighed and said to Meng Yajun and Meng Yuzhu, "Forget it, you should still book the tutoring classes for the next term; after all, the college entrance examination isn’t for another year, there’s no rush."
Meng Yajun also thought the same and quickly nodded, "You’re right, I’ll book it in a few days."
All Meng Yuzhu had in her heart was jealousy towards Meng Chuyue, thinking, Hmph, I must find a way to take Meng Chuyue down a peg or two, or I won’t be able to put out the flame of anger in me.
Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci soon arrived at their new home.
It was a newly acquired property by Shen Ci, located about a hundred meters to the left of Hai City University.
It was a ten-room, five-story new building.
They planned to use the first and second floors for a Blue Sky fast food chain outlet, the third floor for storage, the fourth floor for the tutoring school, and the fifth floor for living.
The place had already been renovated.
They were just waiting for the Blue Sky fast food main store to open, and then this location and a few other outlets would open together.
The reason for naming the fast food store "Blue Sky" was because the main store was originally "Blue Sky" restaurant left to Shen Ci by Qin Weilan.
The name... was far too ordinary, but neither Meng Chuyue nor Shen Ci minded.
If the product was excellent, it didn’t matter if the name didn’t stand out.
Although Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci had been living and working together, occasionally holding hands, they hadn’t spent much time on romance.
Firstly, due to the era, Shen Ci had a very conservative mindset; secondly, they were both very busy.
Apart from teaching, Shen Ci occasionally had to collaborate with some parents on business deals, while Meng Chuyue was busy compiling teaching aids for the final year of high school and the final year of junior high school.
These were to be published and distributed at the start of the school year.
They had to be compiled by August 20.
Although they knew that the teaching aids compiled by Meng Chuyue would sell well, they didn’t keep the profits to themselves.
To expand their publishing territory further in the future, they collaborated with Han Xiao, Song Zhitin, and Xu Zhan’s father, Xu Qingfeng from the Hai City Bureau of Culture.
Yesterday, the manuscripts for the teaching aids were all handed over to Han Xiao and Xu Qingfeng for printing, and Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci both breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking there was nothing particularly important to do in the following few days, Shen Ci unusually wanted to stick close.
He held Meng Chuyue’s hands tightly and said in a low voice, "The fast food store opens on August 28, and we can start getting busy on the 25th. How about we go on a trip these next few days?"
Let’s buy some antiques.
Now that he had more financial freedom, he could afford to buy some valuable antiques for Meng Chuyue.
Meng Chuyue shook her head, "I don’t want to go out, you’ve lost a lot of weight recently, I want to cook some delicious food to help you regain your strength."
Shen Ci touched his face, "I know I’ve lost some weight recently, does it look very bad?"
Meng Chuyue held her forehead, "Don’t ever say that to others, or they might think you’re being conceited and mocking their looks, they will beat you up."
Shen Ci laughed, "If it’s not ugly, then we can put off the fattening up for later, let’s go out and find you some antiques in these couple of days."
Meng Chuyue shook her head, "Actually... I don’t particularly like antiques. I liked buying them before mainly as a quick way to make a fortune. But now I’ve found an even better path to wealth, which is buying land, building houses, so let’s just go with the flow when it comes to antiques."
