Chapter 28 Have you ever bullied someone?

"The stove is lit, so what am I supposed to do next?"

After greeting her, I looked at Chu Lulu. She was still the same person, and the lighting and location hadn't changed, but she seemed to have softened up.

"Aunt Liu gave me some steamed buns here, and this bowl contains meat jelly. We can just heat it up."

She was carrying an aluminum lunchbox, with three steamed buns in one lunchbox and another lunchbox filled with hot meat jelly.

Liu Juan suddenly remembered something and slapped her forehead.

"I forgot, this is the chili sauce I made. I've been meaning to bring it to you for a while, but I always forget."

Two jars filled with bright red chili sauce.

She was afraid to hand it to Xiao Jinli.

Chu Lulu didn't stand on ceremony; the two of them often exchanged gifts, and she was already used to it.

"I have something to tell you."

Liu Juan glanced warily at Xiao Jinli, then pulled Chu Lulu's arm and took a few steps away.

“Yesterday someone came to me and asked me who made the herbal face cream.”

"Don't worry, I didn't tell him."

She wouldn't tell anyone without Chu Lulu's permission.

"You know that person? He's the son of the old man you saved. His name is Liu Lin."

"He asked me for information, but I didn't tell him. He asked me to pass on a message that he could buy each bottle of face cream for fifteen yuan, as many as he wanted."

Chu Lulu listened attentively. Liu Lin, she remembered him, the medicinal herb business, in the port city.

Liu Lin had given her his business card at the hospital last time.

“His business is in Hong Kong, and his sales channels are also in Hong Kong. He won’t touch the mainland market share, so you can rest assured.”

"and……"

"He said he could provide medicinal herbs, and if there weren't enough people, he could also provide manpower."

Liu Juan spoke fluently without even taking a breath; after all, she was just a messenger.

What LuLu chooses, whether to cooperate or not, is none of her business.

Willow Grove!

Provide medicinal herbs, provide labor?

Is it possible to preserve the last prescription?

Her lips curved slightly upward, carrying a faint smile.

Cooperation is possible, but how it happens is up to her!

"I understand, I will consider it carefully."

"I'll give you a share of the profits later..."

Before Chu Lulu could finish speaking, Liu Juan immediately interrupted her!

"stop."

"I don't want a share."

"If you want to cooperate, that's your business; I didn't contribute anything."

"If this all has to be split, what kind of person would I be?"

She only makes a small recommendation; whether others buy it or not, she won't say much.

LuLu's face cream is so good, it's their loss if others don't buy it!

But Liu Lin was different. She was just passing on a message. How to cooperate later was Lu Lu and Liu Lin's business, and had nothing to do with her.

Chu Lulu pressed her temples. "We'll talk about it later."

She would leave this matter aside for now and discuss it with Liu Lin before thinking about Liu Juan.

"I'll head back now. I'll be home all day. If you're going out, just come to my place and call me."

After giving her instructions, Liu Juan took off running as if some ferocious beast was chasing her.

Chu Lulu glanced at Liu Juan's retreating figure, then at Xiao Jinli.

There's nothing ominous about it!

How could you scare Liu Juan like this?

"Have you ever bullied anyone?"

Chu Lulu asked in confusion, because in her heart, Xiao Jinli was not that kind of person.

Although they hadn't known each other for long, her intuition was always sharp.

Despite his cold demeanor, Xiao Jinli is actually a very kind person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have followed Xiao Jinli after that meeting at the military district gate.

Xiao Jinli held the warmed-up lunchbox, tried hard to recall, and then spoke, "No, that was the first time I spoke."

strangeness!

Was Liu Juan's reaction a bit excessive?

Chu Lulu didn't know the reason either, and thought she would ask Liu Juan later.

The two ate quietly. Chu Lulu was lost in thought, while Xiao Jinli was not a talkative person to begin with.

Sudden……

Is there something wrong with Wang Chengjun?

Remembering the IOU Wang Chengjun had given her, Chu Lulu asked curiously, "Is there any hope left for the money he owes me?"

That's almost three hundred yuan!

She worked hard and sold more than fifty bottles of face cream, but only earned a little over three hundred yuan.

That money can't be fed to the dogs!

Chu Dashan was neither a stupid person nor someone who was easily fooled.

Chu Lulu guessed that in recent years, her father had felt his health deteriorating rapidly, knew that his days were numbered, and hoped to entrust her to someone he trusted.

She had saved Wang Chengjun's life, and in her father's mind, Wang Chengjun wouldn't make her too sad because of that.

But the father still underestimated human nature.

Xiao Jinli looked at her greedy appearance, her usually cold and hard face softening with an unusual gentleness.

"There is hope."

Wang Chengjun was interrogated overnight last night. If he really did those things, he might not only get an IOU, but also a bonus.

Even if he doesn't have it, he can make up for it.

"very nice!"

"Xiao Jinli, eat the meat."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Chu Lulu's eyes immediately lit up, and her small face filled with smiles.

She was busy serving food and pouring water, just like a little bee.

Listening to her rambling, there were stories about saving Xiao Xie, how good Aunt Liu was to her, and the fun she had with the Independent Battalion on their training exercises.

The once empty courtyard was filled with warmth and coziness in her words.

This must be the home he wanted!

"Xiao Jinli, I'm going to the city in a bit. You get some sleep."

"Health is the foundation of everything. Look at your dark circles, you're practically a panda."

Watching Xiao Jinli wash the lunchbox, she muttered something in disgust.

The weariness in his eyes, even though he tried to hide it, would still inadvertently show.

"good."

"I'm going to sleep."

"Are you going with Liu Juan? Be careful."

Xiao Jinli cannot leave the military region today; news from Wang Chengjun's side has not yet come back.

Furthermore, his mission report still needs to be followed up.

"knew."

"Young man, you're being a bit long-winded."

Chu Lulu slung her signature crossbody bag over her shoulder and glanced at Xiao Jinli as she turned her head.

Then……

He left the yard without looking back.

Xiao Jinli watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

I haven't asked her yet how she's doing in the family compound, whether she's adjusting well, or if she's feeling unwell anywhere.

He didn't even have time to ask questions; he rushed off after finishing his meal.

Chu Lulu walked to the front of the family dormitory building and called out, "Liu Juan."

Liu Juan's room was in this direction, on the second floor. Hearing the shouts from downstairs, she opened the window, waved, and hurried downstairs.

No matter how many times Chu Lulu came to the family dormitory, she still didn't like it.

Square!

"Go to the city?"

Liu Juan jogged downstairs, pushed her bicycle, and walked to Chu Lulu's side.

"Let's go find Liu Lin first."

"good."

Two girls were riding a bicycle, one in front of the other.

Two hours later, the three of them sat down in the state-run restaurant.
