Ning Wan was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry...

...

Upon learning that Chen Limin wasn't leaving, Ning Yanshu was even more excited than Ning Wan.

He would pull Shen Xu aside and introduce his older brother to Chen Limin; then he would turn his back to Shen Yurong and whisper to Chen Limin that his uncle had a bad temper.

Enraged, Shen Yurong threw down the rag and roared, "You brat, I heard everything! I heard it clearly with both ears!!!"

This made everyone burst into laughter.

On the first day of opening, the boxed rice shop still didn't have much business.

Ning Wan didn't care.

To celebrate Chen Limin's return, she prepared a large table of delicious dishes for lunch.

Everyone ate to their heart's content.

The atmosphere in the store was great, but there were always some inconsiderate people who liked to ruin it...

...

Long Batian, wearing gleaming leather shoes, tucked his worn-out car keys into his waistband.

He strode into the store with his head held high and his arrogant manner was quite annoying.

Upon seeing Long Batian, Ning Wan frowned almost instinctively.

Shen Yurong put down his chopsticks, stood up, and scolded, "What are you doing here?"

Long Batian didn't even glance at Shen Yurong.

Throughout the entire process, his gaze remained fixed solely on Ning Wan.

"Is this how you treat your customers?" He raised his chin like a proud rooster. "No wonder your business is so bad it's about to go out of business..."

Ning Wan didn't mind what he said.

He laughed it off: "Sorry, our shop only serves customers..."

"What do you mean? You're calling me inhuman!"

Ning Wan shrugged indifferently: "I didn't say that."

Long Batian's face showed a hint of anger: "Ning Wan, you know how I feel about you... You can get rid of your current miserable life anytime you want."

"A flower as beautiful as you is only suited to be nurtured in a greenhouse, not in this dirty and filthy marketplace..."

“You’re wrong,” Ning Wan interrupted him. “I’ve never been a flower grown in a greenhouse, but a weed that grows in the cracks.”

"Don't you want to save Shen Fu?" Long Batian's tone carried a hint of coercion: "As long as you obey me, I can find a way to get him out."

“You’re wrong again.” Ning Wan said calmly, “If Shen Fu is a man who can only be saved by sacrificing women, then it can only mean that we both misjudged him.”
