Chapter 1313 I Want to Change My Mother (7)

Li Shichu knocked on the door, and soon heard a magnetic voice: "Come in."

"Mr. He, I have brought the fruit you wanted." Li Shichu put the fruit basket on the coffee table in his office and said to He Chaonian who was working hard behind the computer.

He Chaonian then raised his head and glanced at the coffee table. As expected, he saw the fruit he had been longing for. So he smiled with satisfaction and said to Li Shichu, "Thank you for your hard work, boss. You came to deliver it in person."

"You are generous, it's worth it." Li Shichu answered honestly, and He Chaonian smiled again.

"Where do you get these fruits from? Can you tell me the supplier?" He Chaonian asked casually, but after asking he realized that his question was inappropriate. This was almost a business secret. Sometimes a good supplier could almost determine the life or death of a store. He himself was also a businessman and knew this, but he was careless this time.

So he quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked this question. I just think the fruits in your store are indeed tastier than the carefully selected fruits at home, so I'm a little curious about where they are produced. I don't mean to steal your business."

"It's okay. I know you don't think highly of this fruit business, but I really can't tell you the supplier. If you want to eat any fruit, just order it from me. You're not short of money, are you?" Li Shichu wasn't angry. Who made He Chaonian a big customer? Li Shichu wouldn't be angry with him for the sake of money.

The reason why he didn't tell him about the problem with the fruit supplier was not because he was afraid that he would steal his business, but because more than half of the fruits in Li Shichu's store came from his own companion space, and the quality was different from that of the fruits from ordinary suppliers. Even if he told He Chaonian, he would not be able to get the fruits produced in his own companion space from the supplier.

"That's true." He Chaonian found it a little funny. Li Shichu was the first person who did not hide her desire for money in front of him. She was frank and seemed not to care at all whether others would think she was a profit-seeking, greedy and vain person.

He Chaonian considers himself a young talent. Most of the women who appear in front of him, whether they are interested in him or not, will try their best to show their "good qualities" of not pursuing fame and fortune and treating money as dirt, just hoping to leave a good impression on him. But Li Shichu is not like that. She tells him without any reservation: I treat you well because you paid a high price.

"Boss Li, I would like to order two durians from you in advance and pick them up from your store the day after tomorrow. Is that okay? My mother loves durian." He Chaonian was in a good mood and placed another big order for Li Shichu.

Li Shichu's eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Of course! Don't worry, I will save the two best durians for you and make sure your mother can have the most delicious ones."

"Thank you then." He Chaonian picked up a mangosteen from the fruit basket, peeled it and took a bite, then narrowed his eyes. Although his face was still calm, Li Shichu always felt that he looked exactly like his niece Youyou when she ate strawberries, like a cat that had eaten fresh fish...

When Li Shichu thought of this, a smile appeared in his eyes.

She was just about to say goodbye to He Chaonian when the office door was suddenly pushed open and a beautiful young woman in a blue slim dress walked in aggressively: "He Chaonian! Didn't you say you were busy with work? How do you have time to eat fruit with a woman in the office?!"

After she finished speaking, she glared at Li Shichu fiercely, then looked at Li Shichu from head to toe with disdain on her face. She found that although Li Shichu was pretty, her outfit was extremely ordinary, with a haze blue T-shirt, a pair of faded jeans, and no makeup on her face. She looked plain and dull, and could not compare to her own brightness and brilliance. So the hostility in her heart diminished a little.

"Bai Ruolan, this is my office. Who told you to come in like this?" He Chaonian's face turned cold, and he said to the woman who came in unceremoniously, "What does my work busyness have to do with you? If you know what's good for you, you will know that I said I was busy at work just because I didn't want to deal with you. I'll give you some face. I hope you won't bother me anymore..."

"He Chaonian! How could you do this to me? I love you so much, but you don't even want to be perfunctory to me?" After hearing what He Chaonian said, Bai Ruolan's eyes suddenly turned red and she almost collapsed. It was obvious that she was deeply hurt by his words.

Li Shichu wanted to curl herself up into a small ball and hide in the corner. She hated herself for not leaving earlier and being dragged into such an embarrassing situation. While other men and women were chasing each other, what did it look like for her to just stand here as a background board?

"Bai Ruolan, can you please stop living in your own world? Didn't I reject you a long time ago? I never gave you any hope. It's you who are unable to let go and want to pester me. Your behavior has seriously affected my daily life and work. If you don't leave, I will call the police next time." He Chaonian's face looked very ugly. He grabbed his hair and pulled it several times. He was obviously very annoyed.

Bai Ruolan burst into tears and questioned He Chaonian in disbelief: "Why are you so cold and indifferent to me? How am I not worthy of you? You and I are obviously a perfect match, and I love you so much, why don't you like me? What kind of woman do you like? I can change it! Do you like this woman? Pure and without makeup? Non-aggressive?"

As she spoke, she actually pointed the finger at Li Shichu who was watching silently on the side.

Li Shichu's eyes widened, and he quickly defended his innocence: "No, no, Miss Bai, you misunderstood. I am just the owner of a fruit shop. Mr. He ordered fruit from my shop, and I am here to deliver the fruit to him. If you don't believe me, just look!"

She said this while pointing to the fruit basket she had placed on the coffee table.

Bai Ruolan just glanced at it, and with red eyes, she sneered: "What kind of fruit has Chao Nian not eaten? Why does he have to eat your fruit?"

"Because my fruit is so delicious." Li Shichu answered confidently. She was so angry that she simply stopped talking to this woman who was blinded by love. She said directly to He Chaonian, "Mr. He, I didn't expect that I would have to be an extra in your love scene just to bring you some fruit. You didn't pay me for the performance. I won't bother you anymore. Please explain my identity to this lady. Goodbye!"

After saying that, she quickly walked around the two men and left his office.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she got into the elevator. It was really bad luck to encounter such an inexplicable Shura scene.
