He Meijiao was so angry that she left. Chu Yue won completely. Logically, she should celebrate happily, but Chu Yue still had some concerns in her heart.
She handed the hot pot base to Ye Zhaodi, and then walked to Fang Xiuli who was standing aside.
Fang Xiuli stared blankly in the direction where He Meijiao left. Her mind was filled with the hurtful words that He Meijiao had said. She was in a daze.
After He Meijiao's commotion, the person who suffered the most was actually Fang Xiuli.
Fang Xiuli's unconsciousness was worse than Chu Yue thought.
"Zhao Di, sell the remaining hot pot base and tell other customers who want to buy that we will restock it tomorrow. Today's stock has been sold out. Then you can take a rest. Yuan Bao, go back and sit down. Your legs are not healed yet, so don't walk around anymore."
Chu Yue arranged for Ye Zhaodi and Lu Yuanbao, grabbed Fang Xiuli's hand, and led her through the shops and warehouses to the alley behind.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the street in front, the alley behind is so quiet that it seems like another world.
Chu Yue looked at Fang Xiu Li worriedly, "Fang Xiu Li, are you okay?"
Fang Xiuli finally came back to her senses. She seemed to be complaining to Chu Yue, or muttering to herself, "Meijiao...how did she become like this? We haven't seen each other for only half a year. The last time before I went back to the capital, we sat down to eat together. She wasn't like this back then...really not like this..."
"Mei Jiao and I grew up in the same courtyard. When she was little, she always followed me around and asked me to play with her. She even called me sister... She is not a bad person, really not a bad person..."
"We have been friends for more than 20 years, half of our lives... and now she wants to break up with me... She doesn't want to be friends with me anymore... How could Meijiao become like this?"
Fang Xiuli was not only hurt, but also had too many doubts. Why did the friend who grew up with her in her memory become someone she didn't recognize?
That woman who was full of hostility and whose eyes were filled with hatred was not He Meijiao at all.
Fang Xiuli subconsciously grabbed Chu Yue's hand, trying to hear the answer she needed from Chu Yue.
But when looking at Chu Yue, Fang Xiuli realized that something was wrong.
He Meijiao regards Chu Yue as her biggest enemy and has always targeted Chu Yue. But now she is looking for the answer from Chu Yue whether He Meijiao is still a good person. Isn't this provoking Chu Yue?
Fang Xiuli quickly shook her head, "Chu Yue, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you... Meijiao targeted you so much, you should hate her to death, but I told you that He Meijiao is not a bad person, you probably don't want to hear this, right -"
"You don't have to apologize." Chu Yue interrupted Fang Xiuli, looking at her pale face, and reminded her, "Fang Xiuli, each of us will change at different ages and encounter different things. He Meijiao has changed, and you have changed too, but you are not changing in the same direction. You have already separated."
"Let's go...let's go..."
After saying these words, Fang Xiuli lowered her eyes slightly and fell into long contemplation.
The road of life is very long and full of countless forks in the road. When Fang Xiuli chose love and married Tan Siqi, whose family background was not worthy of hers; when He Meijiao was stubborn and continued to pester Lu Zhanlin even though she knew that Lu Zhanlin was married.
Their different choices when facing marriage have already meant that they have embarked on different paths.
From that time on, they gradually drifted apart.
In addition, as Chu Yue said, He Meijiao is not the only one who is changing, Fang Xiuli is also changing.
The changes that took place in her outlook on life and the world after she came into contact with Chu Yue were self-evident, including the fact that she helped Chu Yue entertain guests today, which was something Fang Xiuli had never dared to imagine.
But now she did.
And He Meijiao...
She was clearly in her prime years, but this beautiful girl was trapped in a vortex of hatred and couldn't struggle out.
They were playmates who grew up together, but now they have drifted apart.
While Fang Xiuli was thinking silently, Chu Yue went back and poured a cup of hot water, added a little brown sugar, and put the enamel cup into Fang Xiuli's hand.
"Eat something sweet, you'll feel better."
Fang Xiuli slowly finished a cup of brown sugar water. Her expression relaxed a lot, but her frown was still there.
She grabbed Chu Yue's hand again, "Chu Yue, I have something to ask of you."
"Are you asking me to let He Meijiao go and not go against her?" Chu Yue asked back.
Fang Xiuli shook her head, then nodded, "It was He Meijiao who did something wrong, and it was He Meijiao who provoked you. Now she... must learn a lesson. You can fight back however you want, I won't interfere. Chu Yue, if... I mean if, you really have to fight to the death, I beg you to show mercy."
No matter how much He Meijiao has changed, she has said "break up completely", but Fang Xiuli still regards her as the little sister next door in her heart, and she has her own soft heart.
Fang Xiu Li also said, "After I go back today, I will try to contact He Mei Jiao's brother and ask them to take Mei Jiao away as soon as possible. Is that okay?"
Chu Yue looked at Fang Xiuli's slightly red eyes and nodded, "If she doesn't offend me, I won't offend her. If we are just doing business face to face, it is normal competition, and I will definitely not embarrass her."
"Thank you, thank you Chu Yue."
After hearing Chu Yue's answer, Fang Xiuli breathed a sigh of relief.
She smiled weakly and said to Chu Yue, "Can you give me another cup of brown sugar water? I'm not feeling better yet."
As a result, the originally tense atmosphere instantly became a lot more relaxed.
Chu Yue also laughed and agreed, "Yes, of course."
She walked back and when she came out, she not only had an enamel cup in her hand, but also handed Fang Xiuli a piece of chocolate.
"Chocolate?! How come you even have chocolate? Even in Beijing, chocolate is hard to buy." Fang Xiuli was shocked and stared at Chu Yue with wide eyes.
Chu Yue raised her eyebrows and said confidently, "Of course I have my own channels for purchasing goods."
Fang Xiuli had no intention of delving into the matter further; she just had an answer in her mind.
Chu Yue could actually get such fashionable and scarce chocolate. No matter how He Meijiao made a fuss, she was destined to not be able to beat Chu Yue.
That afternoon, Fang Xiuli rested for a while, calmed down, and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Fang Xiuli bought nearly twenty yuan worth of things in Chu Yue's shop.
She said, "Boss Chu, this is my support for you. I wish your business will be prosperous."
Chu Yue did not refuse at all, but just reminded Ye Zhaodi, "Zhaodi, please wrap the things more beautifully and give more fruit candies. Thank you for your patronage."
