Chapter 327 Something Happened to Ye Zhaodi
"Closing down?" Chu Yue smiled and shook her head. "I won't close down. I've hired some employees and the store has inventory. Even if I don't go, it will still be open."
Chu Yue runs a grocery store, a small business in daily life. This kind of small store needs to be open 365 days a year to do good business. If it is closed for one day, customers will think it is closed and will never come again.
Besides, Chu Yue felt that Ye Zhaodi was a good girl from the moment she met her. After they had been together for such a long time, she had a deeper understanding of Ye Zhaodi's character and trusted her very much. So during the nine days she was away, Chu Yue never worried about anything in the store.
If she was really worried, she would definitely ask someone to take a look.
Even though Wang Chunling mentioned it, Chu Yue still never thought that something would happen in the grocery store.
So what happened next shocked her.
Wang Chunling looked at Chu Yue with a strange look, frowned and asked, "Ayue, don't you know that the grocery store is closed?"
"...Close the door?" The gentle smile on Chu Yue's face suddenly disappeared. Her brows furrowed as she quickly asked, "When did this happen?"
It seemed Chu Yue really didn't know. Wang Chunling quickly said, "I went down the mountain to the city the day before yesterday and saw your shop was closed. I thought you were away, so you temporarily closed it. Don't you know?"
Chu Yue kept silent.
Chen Fengying was shocked and said, "Sister Chu, you're the boss, how could you not know about the closure? We thought you knew, but three days ago... Yes! I went to the city three days ago and wanted to buy something from your store, but when I walked over, I found the door was closed. It wasn't open for business."
Chen Fengying thought hard and remembered, "...more than three days! Xiaolan mentioned it to me a while ago. She was...let me think about it...she went there five days ago in the afternoon! When she came back, she said your store was closed. I didn't believe it at that time..."
Based on the testimonies of both Chen Fengying and Wang Chunling, the closure of the grocery store was an ironclad fact, and Chu Yue no longer needed to doubt it.
Moreover, it has been closed since five days ago and has not reopened yet.
If Ye Zhaodi occasionally feels unwell one day and needs a day off, that is understandable.
But now it’s been five days! Five days!
It's impossible for Ye Zhaodi to disappear for five days without any reason...
Wang Chunling saw Chu Yue remained silent for a long time, her expression becoming increasingly serious. She asked worriedly, "Ayue, is that employee you hired reliable? Could she have run away with your goods?"
"Right, right, right. People's hearts are so secretive these days. Who knows if they're good or bad?" Chen Fengying nodded quickly, echoing Wang Chunling's concerns. "Maybe that little girl is unreliable. Seeing you haven't been there for so long, she's got bad intentions."
"No, Ye Zhaodi is not that kind of person."
Chu Yue didn't know what had happened, but still flatly denied Wang Chunling's guess.
She firmly believed in her own judgment of people and also believed in Ye Zhaodi's character.
At this point, there is only one possibility left - something happened to Ye Zhaodi.
The reason why Ye Zhaodi didn't come to work for five consecutive days must be that something happened and she couldn't come, and she couldn't even ask someone to pass on a message to her.
Lu Yuanbao noticed Chu Yue's tense expression, pulled her hand, and looked at her worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Yuanbao, Mommy has to go out for a while. Sister Chen, if I don't come back later, please take care of Yuanbao."
Chu Yue didn't wait for the words to finish and was already walking out in a hurry.
Chen Fengying shouted, "Sister Chu...you...you should be careful on the road..."
They couldn't call Chu Yue back, so they could only remind Chu Yue to be careful and come back safely.
Lu Yuanbao looked at Chu Yue who had finally come back, and then left again all of a sudden, and there was a look of loss on his little face.
His mother is so awesome, she always has a lot of things to do.
But he was better than Lu Zhanlin. At least he saw the person. Some people didn't even know that their wife had returned.
…
Chu Yue hurried out of the compound. She was going down the mountain to the city, but she didn't ride a bicycle.
Because the bicycle was too slow and the bus was too slow, it would take a long time to get there. The only way Chu Yue could think of was to find Lu Zhanlin. If Lu Zhanlin could arrange a car to take her down the mountain, it would be the fastest.
But she was not on a mission this time, and she didn't know if she could borrow the army's vehicle.
Just as she was thinking, Chu Yue hurried forward, and after leaving the compound, she saw a car on the side of the road.
The person sitting in the driver's seat was not a young soldier in military uniform, but Fang Xiuli, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Ever since Fang Xiuli accidentally suffered facial paralysis last time, she has been hiding in the house and never going out. Chu Yue has never seen her again, and neither have the other sisters-in-law in the compound.
Chu Yue had contact with Fang Xiuli's husband Tan Siqi several times.
Now Fang Xiuli is willing to go out. I think her facial paralysis has almost recovered. She can make normal expressions and is no longer afraid of being laughed at.
After all, Fang Xiuli is a girl from a large compound in Beijing. Commander He and Sister Song are willing to give her face. It is not surprising that she can borrow a car and can drive it.
The vehicle stopped by the roadside, started the engine, and officially headed down the mountain.
Chu Yue walked over without saying a word, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Fang Xiuli, who was fastening her seat belt, suddenly heard the door open. When she looked up, she saw an extra person sitting in the seat next to her. She was so scared that she pressed her palm directly to her chest.
After seeing that the person was Chu Yue, he was even more surprised and embarrassed.
She had such an ugly quarrel with Chu Yue, and later it turned out that she was wrong. Chu Yue still saved her life regardless of the past grudges. Not only was she wrong, she also owed Chu Yue a huge favor.
Although an apology gift was given, it cannot be compared with Chu Yue's grace of saving people.
Logically, Fang Xiuli should have personally said thank you to Chu Yue after she recovered from her illness, but Fang Xiuli was too proud to bring herself to do so.
Tan Siqi did a lot of ideological work on her, and Fang Xiuli took it to heart. She understood all the reasons, but for Fang Xiuli, who had never bowed her head before, to suddenly bow her head, especially to someone she had looked down upon, this psychological process could not be achieved overnight.
Fang Xiuli heard from Tan Siqi that Chu Yue became a military doctor and went on a mission on the first night after reporting in, and has not returned yet.
Therefore, Fang Xiuli was given some more time. Perhaps she could wait until Chu Yue came back. She was mentally prepared and would then sincerely say thank you and apologize at the same time.
But their meeting happened in a way Fang Xiuli had never expected.
"...Chu...Yue?"
Fang Xiuli looked at Chu Yue in surprise, as if she was hallucinating.
Chu Yue then spoke anxiously, "Are you going down the mountain? I'm also going down the mountain to the city. I have an urgent matter. Could you please give me a ride? Fang Xiuli, thank you very much."
Fang Xiuli couldn't say thank you, but Chu Yue said it so easily, and to her...
