Chapter 123 He Cares So Much

When Xu Qingwu arrived at the Malatang restaurant, Yang Yu had already arrived, but Chen Ke had not yet come.

Chen Ke arrived late and complained as soon as he sat down: "Oh, I've been looking for a parking space for a long time, and I never thought it would be a roadside stall."

Yang Yu laughed at her: "Young Miss has also experienced the suffering of the people."

"Look, my lambskin boots are covered in mud," Chen Ke pointed out. "This better be good, or I'll be pissed off."

"It's packed with delicious food, don't worry."

This is a shop opened by a couple from Hunan. It is called a shop, but it is actually a stall rented in the food street.

It's not the kind where you choose the dishes and cook them in a bowl. Instead, they are strung together on bamboo sticks, and the price is calculated separately according to the different types of meat and vegetables.

There are several pots of different levels of spiciness, and the boiling red soup is bubbling, which is particularly tempting.

In the past, after get off work, Xu Qingwu and Yang Yu would come here once a week. They would eat the spicy hot pot until their mouths turned red and they would sweat a little, and they would feel all the stress was gone.

The boss prepared the base sauce for the three of them and handed them the bowls.

Chen Ke was full of disgust: "Plastic bowls, disposable chopsticks, this is too low-class."

Everyone who was enjoying their meal around the stove looked over.

Yang Yu coaxed her: "Eat it, Miss. It won't hurt if you eat it once."

Chen Ke reluctantly took a bunch of potatoes, took a bite, and his eyes widened in shock.

“So delicious?!”

"You eat chicken feet, it tastes better."

Chen Ke wanted to say that it was inappropriate for a lady like her to gnaw on chicken feet, but she held back and took a tentative bite.

Soft and sticky, melts in your mouth!

God, what a miserable life she had lived before!

Noticing that Xu Qingwu hadn't said much, Yang Yu asked her what was wrong. Xu Qingwu shook her head and said nothing was wrong.

She kept thinking about Cen Yue and Qi Yan.

It was the first time she saw Cen Yue crying like this. She didn’t understand how much Cen Yue had loved Qi Yan before that made her so heartbroken.

Chen Ke spoke to Xu Qingwu heartlessly: "Qingwu, my sister has vented your anger."

Xu Qingwu was puzzled: "What?"

Yang Yu said, "Our law firm was kicked out by Keke's sister's company. There was a one-month probation period in the supplementary terms, and it just so happens that the probation period hasn't expired yet."

"Why did Mr. Chen do this?"

Chen Ke chewed and chewed, swallowed, wiped his mouth, and then said, "I bullied you at the holiday villa before. She has always felt bad about it, but because of Cen Xihuai, she was too embarrassed to apologize to you. This time, she knew that Heyi Law Firm fired you, so she vented her anger on you. Originally, the cooperation was due to your face, but who told them not to know what was good for them."

"What's going on between your sister and Cen Xihuai?"

"Why did you only remember to ask today?"

"Hmm..."

Xu Qingwu didn't know why she suddenly became curious about Cen Xihuai's past.

"It's nothing, actually. It's just that the eldest daughter of the Lan family also wanted to marry Cen Xihuai. Our family and the Lan family are sworn enemies. If the Lan family and the Cen family marry, our family's business will be over."

"Of course my sister wasn't happy about it, so she approached Cen Xihuai, hoping to get him on our side, but Cen Xihuai wasn't interested in my sister."

"Later, Cen Xihuai married into your Shen family. My sister was quite happy. The Shen family and our family have a partnership, and we can also get a share of the profits from your marriage, hahaha."

I see…

"Qingwu, you don't know. Because we lost the cooperation, Zhang Yuansheng's chances of becoming a partner have been dashed, and he's even been demoted to our team leader." Yang Yu's face was filled with worry. "I'm under so much pressure that I wish I could run away tomorrow. Have you found a job yet?"

"Yes, I'll be starting next week at a small law firm. One of the partners is Mr. Zhong."

"Mr. Zhong? The industry leader who gave a lecture at our school before?"

"right."

"Oh my god, which law firm is this? Are they still hiring?"

"Juncheng, check on the recruitment software."

"Okay, if you're hiring, I'll give it a try and try to rekindle our relationship."

"That would be great."

After eating a meal of spicy hot pot, Chen Ke complained that he had gained three pounds, but he was already making plans with them for the next meeting.

When she heard that the three of them had only eaten a little over two hundred, she was so shocked that she almost fell down.

It’s so delicious and so cheap, Xu Qingwu and the others actually eat such good food behind her back!

Chen Ke drove the two of them home.

Xu Qingwu was worried about Cen Yue, so she called her as soon as she got home.

Cen Yue over there was extremely angry.

"Fuck, Qi Yan is going to piss me off to death."

"What's wrong?"

"This bastard told me to wait for him at home. I thought he'd come back to sign the divorce papers after thinking it through. But after waiting for an hour, he said he had something urgent to do and we'd talk next time. Fuck him!"

"Could it be that something really happened?"

"I don't care. I've already given him a chance. He forced me to do this."

There was a slamming sound of a door on the other end of the phone. Xu Qingwu advised her, "Xiaoyue, calm down."

"Can't calm down a bit."

"What are you going to do?"

"To kill someone."

“…”

Cen Yue hung up the phone, and Xu Qingwu quickly called Xia Xiaoxiao for help.

The two went to look for people separately.

However, Cen Yue didn't answer the phone, so they had no idea where to look.

Especially now that Cen Yue is pregnant, if something happens the consequences will be unimaginable.

Just as he was getting anxious, Xu Qingwu suddenly thought of someone.

Qi Siyang, the "driver" ordered by Cen Yue.

Qi Siyang and Cen Yue are the closest recently, maybe he knows Cen Yue's whereabouts.

Previously, Xu Qingwu asked Cen Xihuai about his impression of Qi Siyang. Cen Xihuai said that they had dealt with each other several times in the business world, so he should have Qi Siyang's contact information.

Thinking of this, Xu Qingwu quickly called Cen Xihuai.

At Xiangshan Port, Cen Xihuai had just finished a drinking party and returned to the hotel.

While getting on the elevator, Yao Wei received a call from his wife.

Then, Cen Xihuai saw his serious and calm assistant, who said in a pinched voice, "Wife, I miss you too."

Noticing Cen Xihuai's gaze, Yao Wei told the person on the other end of the phone that they would talk in the room later and hung up.

"Why did your wife call you?"

"If I'm on a business trip, she'll call me every day."

"Why?"

"Should it be a wife's concern for her husband?"

"oh."

Cen Xihuai touched the quiet phone in his pocket. Xu Qingwu hadn't sent him a message since she replied with "I know" in the morning, let alone called him.

Yao Wei considered, "My wife is more proactive, and my wife might be more reserved. You can also call her first. There's no need to worry about these things between husband and wife."

Cen Xihuai: "I know."

Really?

Yao Wei was skeptical, but he just said so. He was just an assistant, and fulfilling his duties was the first priority.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, Cen Xihuai's phone vibrated.

He took it out with a bit of haste, and when he saw it was Xu Qingwu calling, he pointed his phone at Yao Weiyang.

"Qingwu called me."

"Madam still cares about you."

"Well, she should like me."

Yao Wei: “?”

Didn’t you seem to like it last time? How could you like it so soon?

There was no time to talk to Yao Wei, so Cen Xihuai answered the phone: "Miss me?"

Yao Wei was fed a mouthful of dog food.

It's like who doesn't have a wife.

Yao Wei also called his wife. Ding Cheng, who had been almost invisible behind the two of them, was crying in his heart.

Why does everyone have a wife but he doesn’t? It’s so unfair!!!

Yao Wei's wife asked him, "Why did you hang up?"

Yao Wei: "Mr. Gang Cen is here, but my wife didn't call him. I was afraid he would be upset if he heard us talking on the phone."

"Didn't you say they were in an arranged marriage? Arranged couples shouldn't care too much about this, right?"

"He cares so much about it. My wife just called him and he was showing off to me."

"I didn't expect that your CEO Cen is still in love. How cute."

"Wife, don't say other men are cute."

"Why are you jealous of your boss?"

"I just love to be jealous."
