Chapter 59: Finding Faults, But Being Attracted by the Fragrance

Bai Zhong became more and more angry as he spoke, "Bai Zhen, how can you be so shameless and have such a black heart? I didn't even bother to settle the score with you, so how dare you come here!"

Bai Zhen was also angry, "You are allowed to come and rob Qingshi's money, but I, your biological mother, am not allowed to come?"

Bai Zhen was already very dissatisfied when she saw Gu Qingshi brought Bai Zhong, Bai Yang and Bai Xue into the store. She thought it would be better to go to her than to them.

Bai Zhong was furious. "You are my biological mother. How dare you say you are my mother? I don't know how much Qingshi suffered at your hands. Have you forgotten what you did before? Give me back the money I robbed from Qingshi. You are the one who robbed the most!"

Bai Zhen was a little short of breath. "Why talk about the past now? Isn't Qingshi doing well now? I am here to help too."

"Qingshi is fine now. How dare you say that? Qingshi fought hard to get better. Otherwise, he would have been killed by you guys! You still have the nerve to come to see Qingshi! You still have the nerve to help!"

Bai Zhong stood up and chased Bai Zhen away, "Get out! Get out! I've already told you that I don't have a sister like you. If you come here again, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Bai Zhen was so angry that she was shaking. Every time she met Bai Zhong, nothing good happened.

"You're going too far. I'm Qingshi's biological mother. How could I harm her? It's because you've been trying to sow discord between us that Qingshi and I have become estranged."

"Why would you need your uncle to sow discord? Don't you know what you have done?"

Gu Qingshi took over the conversation, "I also said what my uncle said, you are not welcome here, get out as far away as you can."

He's just jealous of her because she made more money. But no matter how popular she is, this money has nothing to do with her.

It was Bai Zhen who didn't want her, and it was Bai Zhen who chose to let Duan Renjie take care of her in her old age and be good to her.

Gu Qingshi and Bai Zhong drove Bai Zhen away without any hesitation, and Bai Zhen didn't even have time to put down the wild flowers in her hand.

"You are such an ungrateful bastard. How dare you treat me like this!"

Bai Zhen returned home angrily and told the Duan family not to look for Gu Qingshi anymore.

But when the Duan family heard that Gu Qingshi's business was so good, how could they bear it? Duan Renjie and Duan Lingling had suffered so much, so naturally they were unwilling to give up.

After discussing it, they came to the door. They wanted to settle the score with Gu Qingshi!

When they arrived, they were surprised by the booming business. They wanted to walk in with a swagger, but before they could say anything, they were seated at the table.

The surroundings were bustling with activity and filled with the aroma of food.

Everyone was chatting and rushing to eat the food as it came. The atmosphere was very good and everyone was smiling. Duan Renjie and Duan Lingling stopped getting angry.

I don't know if it was affected by their emotions, but the resentment and anger in the hearts of the two people inexplicably lessened a lot, and they suddenly lost the confidence to get angry.

Later, my attention was attracted by the dishes served, just like everyone else.

"It smells so good. I'm going to order some in a couple of days."

Listening to everyone's discussion and smelling the delicious food, the two couldn't help swallowing their saliva. At this time, Bai Xue served them tea and food, "What would you like to eat?"

Duan Renjie couldn't help but point to the table next to him, "They are like that."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." Bai Xue wiped the sweat off her forehead and didn't pay any attention to the two of them.

After a while, the dishes came up, and Duan Renjie and Duan Lingling started eating involuntarily.

Because the food smelled so good, she forgot everything else while eating and enjoyed it till she finished. Only after she finished eating did Duan Lingling react and asked anxiously.

"Brother, do you still want to release the flies and cockroaches that you hid?"

Duan Renjie is an old hand and knows how to frame someone, but the two of them had forgotten it just now.

Duan Renjie's face darkened when he heard this. He actually wanted to put it there, but looking at the empty plate, it would not look good to put it there with nothing on it.

Duan Renjie gritted his teeth and said, "Next time, I'll put it in next time, and eat less next time."

Duan Lingling also gritted her teeth: "No, brother, how could the food be so delicious?" This was what she couldn't understand the most.

"How should I know?" he also wanted to ask.

After failing to frame the man, the two men got up and left with gloomy faces, but they were stopped after taking only two steps because they had not paid.

"Look carefully at who we are. I am Gu Qingshi's brother!"

"I am Gu Qingshi's sister!"

It was good enough that they didn't cause any trouble, but they still wanted them to pay for the meal? Duan Renjie and Duan Lingling were very angry.

Gu Qingshi heard the noise and came over, just in time to hear this sentence.

There were so many guests and she had been busy in the kitchen, so she didn't notice the two of them.

"Your last name is Duan, and mine is Gu. What kind of brother and sister are we? If you don't want to be sent to the police station, just pay the money."

When they heard the word police station, Duan Renjie's face turned green. Afraid of getting arrested again, the two had no choice but to pay the money obediently.

Duan Renjie and Duan Lingling were very angry not only for not finding the problem but also for spending money. They were so angry that they stayed angry until dinner time after returning home.

As soon as they had dinner, Duan Renjie became even more angry. He slammed the table and said, "What kind of dish is this? Can we eat it like this?"

"Puh, phuh, phuh!" Duan Lingling vomited after taking a mouthful.

Duan Gang was dissatisfied, "We eat like this every day, what's wrong with you guys?"

Duan Renjie and Duan Lingling froze for a moment, then suddenly realized that they had indeed eaten like this before, but after having tasted the dishes prepared by Gu’s kitchen, they found it hard to swallow the ordinary dishes prepared by Bai Zhen, including a cold dish.

Duan Lingling's face turned pale and blue. She hated Gu Qingshi so much, but she couldn't help but think about the food in her restaurant. What was going on?

Duan Renjie started to wonder why it tasted so good.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but think of the incident a while ago when Lao Liang and his friends from the restaurant begged to come up and buy Gu Qingshi's dishes.

At the beginning, the boss lady and her friends said that without Gu Qingshi’s dishes, their restaurant would not be able to continue operating.

Is it because of the food that Gu Qingshi's restaurant is doing so well?

If it is a vegetable, it would be good to know where Gu Qingshi bought it. With that vegetable, everything will taste good. If it can be sold, it will definitely make money.

The next day, Duan Renjie couldn't help but sneak over there again, and happened to meet Lao Liang and the proprietress whom he had met before.

Gu Qingshi's Gu's Kitchen is doing a booming business, but the previous Lao Liang Restaurant has never recovered. Even his previous customers all went to Gu Qingshi's, and now it has been forced to wait for closure.

The business that had been going on for so many years was over, but Lao Liang was still unwilling to accept it and couldn't help but come to find Gu Qingshi.

"Xiao Gu. No, Boss Gu, I beg you to give us some food. We don't want too much, and we won't steal your business. Just don't close the store."

People age quickly when things don't go their way. I haven't seen Lao Liang in these days and he looks a lot older, with some gray at the temples.

Lao Liang's eyes were full of urgency, but Gu Qingshi shook his head and still refused.

She sympathized with Lao Liang's situation, but she couldn't help him. Lao Liang's cooking skills were average, and the reason he was able to keep the business going was because there weren't many competitors in the county, so business was okay and he just muddled along.

Nowadays, everyone's life is better and the market is prosperous. They are destined to be eliminated without any advantages. Even if there was no space vegetable incident, the ending would be inevitable.
