Hearing such words, Li Fugui tugged at the corner of his mouth, feeling an immense bitterness inside. He thought that most of what Li Fuyou said was true, because now he was the only one who knew about Xiaotian’s whereabouts.
He was very worried, who was the other party? If they found out she had lost her chastity, would they still treat her well?
No matter what, he had to find her and make sure she was doing well, even if there was no longer any possibility between them, he still wanted to see her once more.
"Then, thank you so much, Brother Chu."
"We don’t need to say thanks between us, and besides, I think my wife is right, from now on we are family. You should just call us sister and brother-in-law; it would be better," Chu Lian said teasingly.
"..." Li Fugui felt helpless, always having the feeling that he was being taken advantage of. Everyone was about the same age, yet Chu Lian’s words were on point. By saying so, they acknowledged his relationship with Xiaotian and didn’t treat him like an outsider, but, could there really still be a possibility for him and Xiaotian?
He looked towards Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian, and spoke awkwardly, "Sister, brother-in-law."
Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian smiled with pursed lips; this made their relationship feel even closer. They didn’t believe they would become enemies in the future.
After a moment, Li Fugui thought it over and decided to speak up, "Brother-in-law, I came today to ask a favor of you."
"What is it? If I can help, I definitely will."
"It’s about the Dongfeng Restaurant. Li Fuyou is already selling the Dongfeng Restaurant in town, and I was hoping you could help me buy it first. I will definitely repay you in the future." Even though it was difficult to ask such a favor, Li Fugui still did so because given the current situation, he was powerless and could only seek help. Right now, the only person who could help was Chu Lian.
"I thought it was something else. I’ve already sent someone to arrange it, don’t worry. Dongfeng Restaurant will be reserved for you," said Chu Lian with a smile.
Li Fugui felt extremely grateful for Chu Lian’s response; even though they were rivals, Chu Lian was willing to help him take back Dongfeng Restaurant. Knowing that, it wouldn’t be difficult for Chu Lian to make Dongfeng Restaurant thrive again.
Yet, he still offered help. Therefore, Li Fugui knew he had to show sincerity, "Brother-in-law, rest assured, the three-year agreement still stands. I will continue to develop more dishes for Yuelai Restaurant. In three years, if you need it, I will help too."
"Ha ha, what three-year agreement? I initially thought you were interested in my wife and that’s why I sent you away," Chu Lian laughed as he spoke the truth.
"..." Chu Lian frowned, when did he become so clever?
"Now you can come back anytime. Dongfeng Restaurant will soon be reclaimed, and then you can make your comeback."
Li Fugui teased with a laugh, "Aren’t you afraid that if I come back, I’ll steal your business?"
"Do you think I’m that weak?" Although Li Fugui had a sharp tongue, Yuelai Restaurant wasn’t so easy to defeat.
Wang Xiangxiang added fuel to the fire, "It’s not that you’re weak, it’s that he’s too strong."
The three people in the room laughed together, creating a very harmonious atmosphere. After a short while, Li Fugui spoke again, "Rest assured, I promise that even if Dongfeng Restaurant reopens, it won’t steal Yuelai Restaurant’s business because I plan not to run a restaurant anymore."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang and Chu Lian were extremely surprised and asked urgently, "If you’re not running a restaurant, what do you plan to do?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net
