Chapter 663 The Uninvited Guest

Bai Yi specifically asked Xiao Lin for leave.

Wang Ye felt that she didn't need to do it at all. They already knew who was instigating Wu Wei, and if he caused trouble again, they could just go to Yang Han to deal with it.

But Bai Yi was still worried; what she feared most was that Wu Wei would go to the school to look for Linlin.

Although the boarding school has good security, no one can guarantee anything in this situation.

He had already witnessed Wu Wei's utter depravity.

She was afraid that at that point, even Yang Han wouldn't be able to control how things would develop.

Bai Yi said, "It's okay. Just consider it as me coming to help you. Your family just had such a big fuss. If I just turn around and leave, you'll have even less to say in front of your parents."

She had almost finished her work, and in another half month, the branch would officially enter the trial operation phase. So, Bai Yi was just idling around anyway, so she might as well stay here and feel more at ease.

Bai Yi followed Wang Ye into the restaurant. Hot pot restaurants are usually busy from 2 pm to 8 pm. They arrived early, and there were no customers yet, only the waiters cleaning.

Bai Yi looked around the store and found that Wang Ye had managed it very well, which put her at ease.

Before opening the store, Wang Ye was always worried that he lacked management skills. He could do the work, but he had no experience in managing the entire store.

But once the store opened, all sorts of problems arose one after another, and even though he had no experience, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on with it.

From being completely clueless at the beginning to now being able to solve all problems with ease, Bai Yi knows how difficult this process has been.

She suddenly seemed to understand why He Fen was always worried that Wang Ye had ulterior motives in approaching him and that she would deceive him.

After all, Wang Ye had poured all his energy into this shop; he had essentially gambled everything. If he were to be scammed, he would have nothing left.

Around 2 p.m., a few tables of guests arrived.

Wang Ye was walking around in front, while Bai Yi was helping Wang Ye organize the store's revenue records for this period of time.

She tidied up for a while, but she was still worried about Linlin at school.

Wu Wei suddenly went silent after making a fuss for two days. Although this was the best thing for Bai Yi, something was definitely amiss.

His sudden silence made Bai Yi feel uneasy.

Fortunately, when she called to ask, the teacher said that Linlin was doing well at school and that no one else came to pick him up except for Wang Ye, who always picked him up every day.

Bai Yi was finally relieved.

"Hello, welcome."

A guest walked in through the door. Bai Yi subconsciously looked up and then froze.

Jiang Wang?

Why did he suddenly come?

Just as Jiang Wangzheng and Bai Yi were exchanging glances, Wang Ye, unaware of the situation, walked over and asked, "Sir, how many of you are there?"

He was stunned after asking the question.

Jiang Wang said, "One."

"Huh?" Wang Ye was taken aback.

Jiang Wang snorted, "What? Can't I eat hot pot by myself?"

Wang Ye turned to look at Bai Yi, who shook his head at him, signaling him not to cause trouble.

Wang Ye sighed, suppressing his displeasure, and gave a reluctant smile. "Sure, sure, of course, please come in."

He said to the waiter next to him, "Take this gentleman to a seat first, and remember to give him a discount after he finishes eating."

"Okay, manager."

Jiang Wang walked over, sat down as if nothing had happened, took the menu from the waiter, and began to order.

Wang Ye was seething with hatred for his ex-boyfriend. He glanced at Jiang Wang, who was also looking at him.

Jiang Wang seemed to understand something from his expression and gave a disdainful snort.

Wang Ye looked away. "What's he doing here?"

Bai Yi looked at Jiang Wang's nonchalant demeanor and didn't understand why he had come here.

"I don't know, so let's not do anything rash. Maybe he'll leave after he finishes eating."

"What if he doesn't leave?" Wang Ye asked.

Bai Yi said, "Since you're here, whoever you are, you're a customer. Treat him the same way you would treat anyone else. Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

Bai Yi wasn't worried that Jiang Wang would cause trouble in the store; he didn't have the guts.

But he was sitting there like nothing was wrong, which made Bai Yi even more eager for him to make a scene.

Because this is better than not knowing what he's going to do.

Jiang Wang ordered a lot of dishes and meat, enough for three or four people.

The waiter kindly reminded him, "Sir, if we are alone, isn't this a bit too much?"

Jiang Wang looked at her coldly, "What, are you afraid I can't afford to pay?"

The waiter quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I didn't mean that. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to finish it and it would all go to waste..."

Jiang Wang crossed his arms and said, "Just focus on cooking. Whether I can finish it or not is my problem. Wasting food is my money's waste, so you don't need to worry about it."

The waitress was a little embarrassed, but since Jiang Wang had already said so, she could only place the order as usual.

Soon all the dishes Jiang Wang ordered were served, and the hot pot base in front of him was steaming, the rich aroma of the hot pot broth quickly spreading.

But Jiang Wang showed no intention of eating; his gaze remained fixed on Bai Yi, who was standing behind the bar.

Bai Yi kept her head down as she sorted through the forms. She knew all along that Jiang Wang was watching her, but she didn't intend to pay any attention to it.

She thought Jiang Wang would lose patience after watching for a while and stop watching, but more than ten minutes later, Bai Yi could still feel his gaze.

His gaze was so direct that even the other people in the shop noticed it.

Someone whispered, "Why is that customer staring at the proprietress? What's their relationship?"

"I don't know. He ordered so much food but didn't eat any. Judging from the way he talked, he seemed quite wealthy. Do you think he might be the proprietress's suitor?"

Seeing that Jiang Wang showed no intention of looking away, Bai Yi finally lost her temper, stood up, and wanted to ask Jiang Wang what he was trying to do.

"Baiyi, come and try a new dish I recently learned to make."

Wang Ye carried a plate of food out of the kitchen and placed it in front of her.

Bai Yi was so upset by Jiang Wang's appearance that she couldn't eat anything.

But Wang Ye was in high spirits and even handed Bai Yi chopsticks, saying, "I've been learning for several days, and they all say it doesn't taste good. Since you're here today, let's see if I've improved."

Not wanting to spoil his fun, Bai Yi had no choice but to take a bite.

"How is it?" Wang Ye asked impatiently.

Bai Yi tasted it carefully and said, "There was a bit too much soy sauce, but everything else was fine. The taste was pretty good."

Wang Ye exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you're amazing! I accidentally added a little too much soy sauce when I was cooking, and I thought it was nothing. I didn't expect you to be able to taste it!"
