Chapter 219: Shanghai Newspapers in the Last Month

Chu Yue was not unaware of the silent undercurrent between the two men, because Lu Zhanlin held her hand tightly, and he could touch the slightly protruding blue veins on her arm.

It’s interesting to think that such a cool and aloof man can also have such a loyal and impulsive side.

After all, she is married and has children, so how could she take Pei Hanchuan's words seriously?

Chu Yue smiled faintly. After accepting the cake, she sent Pei Hanchuan and the waiter out. "Pei Hanchuan, I don't need you to refund the rent. But there is something I want. I'd like you to find it for me."

"What is it?" Pei Hanchuan was a little disappointed at first when he was rejected by Chu Yue, but when he heard that Chu Yue really wanted something, he immediately became excited again.

This scene seemed like a repetition of the previous plot.

It was the first time they met at that time, and Chu Yue asked Pei Hanchuan for a "franchise license". That thing was not difficult to get for the Pei family, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky for ordinary people.

So this time, Pei Hanchuan originally thought that what Chu Yue wanted should be something quite valuable, just like the "franchise license".

But Chu Yue said, "I want the Shanghai newspapers from the past month."

"...Newspaper?" Pei Hanchuan widened his eyes in disbelief, confused and puzzled.

It's just a newspaper, even if it's a Shanghai newspaper, it's about the same as toilet paper and has no value at all.

Chu Yue said firmly, "Yes, I want Shanghai's newspapers. Your Pei family is in business, and Shanghai's economy is currently leading the country. It's impossible for you not to pay attention to what's going on in Shanghai."

In other words, from the moment Chu Yue said it, it was certain that the Pei family must have Shanghai newspapers.

Pei Hanchuan thought that Chu Yue had to do something as difficult as climbing to the sky, just to repay her favor, but it was such a simple thing that no one wanted to recycle the newspaper as waste.

"I'll have someone deliver it tomorrow morning."

"Thanks, Pei Hanchuan."

There is one thing that Chu Yue has always been concerned about, which is whether the letter of complaint she wrote to Shanghai University has been implemented.

After the Chinese New Year, school will start in Shanghai, and Chu Yaoyao will definitely carry her luggage to register at the university. If her report is successful, then Chu Yaoyao will definitely be expelled from the school. Such a big thing will definitely be reported in the local newspapers in Shanghai, and you will definitely find it as long as you look for it.

Chu Yue returned to the shop and saw Lu Zhanlin standing by the door, his dark eyes looking outside, in the direction where Pei Hanchuan had left.

She gently hooked Lu Zhanlin's hand and said, "Alright, stop looking. Pei Hanchuan is just a playboy from a rich family. I don't care about him, so why should you care about him?"

"You don't care?" Lu Zhanlin asked in a low voice.

Chu Yue raised her head, her fair face smiling charmingly, her eyes moist and rippling, "No matter how many gifts others give me, they can't compare to the first-class medal of honor you gave me. That's my favorite."

So, don't be angry, okay?

Chu Yue blinked and asked silently.

She has now perfectly mastered the method of controlling/teasing Lu Zhanlin. Men tend to be soft-hearted and especially like the little sweet treats she gives them.

A little handshake, a kiss, and some sweet words will surely soothe the person.

Chu Yue had never thought that love would be like this before. She could say some corny words without feeling awkward at all, and she even liked it.

Especially seeing Lu Zhanlin's face change from gloomy to bright, successfully playing the role of a cold and aloof officer, how interesting~

On the side, Xu Feng noticed the couple's little movements and felt it was too shameful to watch, so he decided to find some help.

The soy sauce on the counter over there was sold out. Ye Zhaodi moved a new box out of the warehouse. Xu Feng went over to help, "I'll do it."

Ye Zhaodi didn't even glance at him. She held the heavy box of soy sauce in her hands and said calmly, "I can carry it. Don't stand in front of me, you're in the way."

Xu Feng was dumbfounded: He is in the way?

In a blink of an eye, Ye Zhaodi was back behind the counter.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiled brightly, and said to the customer, "Your soy sauce is here. Two bottles, right? Look—freshly opened from the box, all brand new, guaranteed fresh."

All the muscles in Xu Feng's body became useless at this moment.

After Chu Yue had appeased Lu Zhanlin, it was exactly noon and the number of customers in the store gradually decreased. Chen Fengying and other sisters-in-law finished their shopping and watched the excitement, and were ready to go back.

"Sister Chu, let's go now. See you in the courtyard later."

"Sister Chen, wait a minute--" Chu Yue hurriedly called out to someone, and picked up one of the two cream cakes sent by Pei Mingzhu and handed it to Chen Fengying.

Chen Fengying was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, no, this is too valuable, please don't give it to me."

"Sister Chen, this cream cake isn't just for you, it's for all the sisters-in-law and children in the compound. Cream cakes have a short shelf life, and the cream melts easily at high temperatures. I won't be back until tonight, and it will be too late then. Please take it home and share it with everyone. Just think of it as a gift from me, offering it to everyone."

When Chen Fengying heard that everyone was invited to eat together, she accepted it without hesitation and promised, "Okay, I won't be polite... Don't worry, I will make sure everyone knows that it is Sister Chu who is treating everyone to cake!"

The heavy cream cake ended up in Chen Fengying's hands. She didn't even go to the market, but hurriedly took the bus back to the compound, fearing that, as Chu Yue had said, the cream would melt after a long time.

Wouldn't the cake disappear like snowflakes?

…

In the store, Lu Zhanlin brought food bought from a state-owned restaurant. Chu Yue invited Ye Zhaodi to eat together, but Ye Zhaodi refused.

Ye Zhaodi said enthusiastically, "Sister Yue, we have guests coming at noon, so not everyone can eat. You and your family should eat first. After you finish, I'll eat. We can just take turns."

Lu Zhanlin and Xu Feng were both very surprised. They had no idea where Chu Yue found such a hardworking and diligent employee.

Chu Yue thought about it and decided not to force it. Instead, she looked at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng shook his head repeatedly, "The little girl said that your family should eat first. I am not a family with you, so let's eat later."

Ye Zhaodi heard that she was being teased, and she looked up and glared at the big guy.

They were both wearing military uniforms, so how could this man be so different from the boss's lover? I don't know how he became a soldier, and he's even a company commander.

In Ye Zhaodi's opinion, Xu Fengle's somewhat sloppy personality made him too unreliable.

She never imagined that Xu Feng had also fought on the front lines.

Finally, Lu Zhanlin said, "Don't worry about him. Let him help out in the front first. When we finish eating, we'll give him some leftovers."

Xu Feng said loudly, "Sister-in-law, keep an eye on Captain Lu and make sure he doesn't eat all the food. There must be some left. I have a big appetite and I can eat a lot."

He is thick-skinned and is not afraid of being laughed at even when he shouts loudly.

Several guests heard it and covered their mouths with their hands to laugh.
