Ye Zhaodi lay in Chu Yue's arms for a long time, crying and laughing. After a long time, she wiped her eyes and let go of Chu Yue.
Chu Yue raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Ye Zhaodi's eyes and said softly, "Why are you still crying? I'm fine, there's nothing to cry about."
"I know... I know... Sister Yue, but I can't control it." Ye Zhaodi is such a strong person and she didn't want to show her childish side in front of Chu Yue. She sniffed, tears in her eyes and she smiled.
Chu Yue also smiled and asked again, "Can anyone tell me why Miss Fang works in my store?"
After hearing this, Fang Xiuli looked embarrassed.
Ye Zhaodi was very excited and quickly explained to Chu Yue, "Sister Yue, the day after you left, He Meijiao from across the street came to cause trouble again. Sister Xiu Li happened to be in the store that day, and she helped me chase He Meijiao away. After that, she was afraid that He Meijiao would cause trouble again, so she came with me to look after the store every day."
"...Every day?" Chu Yue raised her eyebrows in disbelief and turned to look at Fang Xiuli.
Fang Xiuli felt Chu Yue's gaze and felt even more embarrassed.
She seems to have the aura of a "vicious female supporting role". It's natural for her to do bad things, but it makes people feel uncomfortable when she does good things.
Ye Zhaodi's mind was not that sharp, and she did not notice Fang Xiuli's awkward mood, but she spoke with all her strength.
"Yes, every day. Sister Xiu Li has been here for a whole month." Ye Zhaodi nodded heavily. "Since Sister Xiu Li came, He Meijiao across the street has never come to cause trouble again, just like the Dinghai Shenzhen in Journey to the West."
The more Chu Yue listened, the brighter her eyes became, and she looked at Fang Xiuli with sharp eyes.
During her absence, Fang Xiuli actually guarded the store and Ye Zhaodi. He Meijiao came here to take revenge on Chu Yue. She didn't care about anyone. The only person she still cared about was Fang Xiuli.
As long as Fang Xiuli is around, He Meijiao dares not cause trouble.
Fang Xiuli felt uncomfortable being stared at by Chu Yue. She said with embarrassment, "Why are you looking at me like that? I... I'm not doing this all for you... Well, half of it is for you, and the other half is for He Meijiao. After all, she is my sister who grew up under my care. I can't let her make more and more outrageous mistakes, and I can't let her do bad things again—"
Fang Xiuli was still speaking confidently when suddenly, she was hugged tightly by a warm force again.
"Thank you, Fang Xiuli! I'm glad to have a friend like you."
Chu Yue said solemnly.
Fang Xiuli felt warm in her heart and her stiff limbs relaxed. She was very happy that her efforts were recognized and responded to sincerely by Chu Yue.
She was not used to this approach, but she really liked the positive feedback from Chu Yue.
This kind of emotion is different from the friendship she understood before, but she knows that this is right and this is what friendship should be like.
Unfortunately——
Chu Yue's seriousness only lasted for a short moment, and then she immediately said.
"Fang Xiuli, do you feel bored coming to the store every day? The store opposite is still having a sale, so there shouldn't be many customers coming here. How do you usually spend your time? Cleaning, cleaning the windows, or finding something to do like knitting sweaters? Fang Xiuli, it turns out you can do housework too. I thought that Deputy Head Tan did all the housework in your family, and you just had to enjoy yourself. Does Deputy Head Tan know that you're working as a handyman here? Will he feel bad and come to me to ask for an explanation?"
"Chu! Yue! Shut up!"
Fang Xiuli was completely "infuriated" by Chu Yue. She raised her head and covered Chu Yue's mouth. How could she open her mouth so well and say such unpleasant things?
For a moment, the grocery store, which had been silent for a long time, was filled with laughter again with the appearance of Chu Yue.
Even though Fang Xiuli was angry, the corners of her mouth were still raised, and she was smiling.
As laughter filled the air, a black vehicle slowly drove past on the road outside the door.
The rear seat window slightly lowered to reveal a gap, revealing a pair of dark and sinister eyes that swept across what was happening in Chu Yue Grocery Store.
After seeing Chu Yue coming back, the man raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a dangerous smile.
He Meijiao has done nothing since Fu Yanchen threatened her last time, but he did not urge her again because he knew Chu Yue was not there.
As long as Chu Yue is not around, no matter how much He Meijiao does, it will be of no use.
Because there is no way to lure out the person behind Chu Yue.
Things are different now. Now that Chu Yue is back, it is time to push He Meijiao out again and use her as a chess piece for the last time.
As for what happened to He Meijiao, why should he care about a chess piece?
After Fu Yanchen closed the car window, the black vehicle quickly disappeared.
In the grocery store.
Chu Yue suggested, "To celebrate the successful completion of the mission and my safe return, let's close the store today."
"close the door?"
Ye Zhaodi and Fang Xiuli both widened their eyes and looked at Chu Yue in shock. Is someone celebrating the closing of their own shop?
Chu Yue nodded seriously, "Yes, we are closing the shop. You have worked hard in the past month, so I will treat you to lunch at noon. We will not open the shop today and will not entertain any guests. We will be the guests and eat the best food."
Chu Yue said this for another reason. The business in the store must be very slow this month. With the other party offering strong discounts, there are hardly any customers coming.
Opening the store was more to tell He Meijiao that they had not given up, and Chu Yue didn't care no matter how much He Meijiao did.
We've been in a standoff for such a long time, and there are no customers anyway, so it's time to take a breath and have a good rest.
"Let's go out for dinner! It's a pity that Rourou isn't here today. Yuanbao told me that Rourou has been playing with Yuanbao for the past month, and I should thank her..."
As he spoke, under the guidance of Chu Yue, he pulled Ye Zhaodi and Fang Xiuli out of the store and locked the door with a click.
Ye Zhaodi was both excited and nervous, as it turned out that her boss was taking her to skip work.
"Sister Yue, are we going to the state-owned restaurant for dinner?"
"Nonono, how can the quality of a state-owned restaurant be worthy of our Miss Fang? Let's go to a better, more expensive high-end restaurant. Don't worry about the money. I'll treat you if you say so. We can order more dishes and pack up the leftovers. After we finish eating, we'll go to Zhaodi's house. Xiaoman has been in treatment for a while, I'll go see how he's doing and give him an injection."
When Ye Zhaodi heard Chu Yue say this, she was happier than eating at a high-end restaurant. She said excitedly, "Xiao Man and I both like Sister Yue very much."
When Fang Xiuli heard Chu Yue teasing her as "Miss Fang" again, she no longer felt embarrassed. Instead, she raised her chin slightly. She was the eldest lady, so what was wrong with that?
She wanted to enjoy this meal and make Chu Yue's wallet bleed.
After all, this couple received double the bonus when they returned from the mission, which must be a lot.
