Just as she was about to introduce him to Li Beibei, He Qianjiao suddenly exclaimed, "Lou Fugui?!"
"He Qianjiao?!"
"What are you doing here?" they both asked in unison.
He Qianjiao: "I heard you ran away from your wedding and left home?"
Lou Fugui: "I heard you ran away from your wedding and left home?"
He Qianjiao: "Why do you always mimic me?"
Lou Fugui: "I should be asking you that!"
Xin Sui and Li Beibei across from him looked at each other in bewilderment.
The feelings are all mutual.
Xin Sui suggested, "How about we go to a private room? It's spacious enough to seat five people."
Everyone else agreed.
So the group moved to a private room.
He Qianjiao and Lou Fugui sat on either side of the large round table.
Xin Sui and two other onlookers sat in the middle, their expressions full of gossip.
As for Xiaoming, who came along with Xin Sui to freeload, he had absolutely no interest in human love, hate, or grudges; all he cared about was the food in front of him.
He Qianjiao: "Lou Fugui, you're not allowed to tell anyone about me being here, or you'll regret it."
Lou Fugui: "Heh, I don't want to marry you anyway, why would I spread the news that you're here? I'd rather your He family couldn't find you."
He Qianjiao: "That would be best. I don't want to be tied up and married off to you, this good-for-nothing, lazy, and good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid."
Lou Fugui: "Ha, same to you. Do you think I want to marry a good-for-nothing like you?"
Seeing that the tension between the two was escalating, Xin Sui had no choice but to step in and smooth things over.
"The soup is boiling, now we can add the vegetables. Come on, eat the meat, and stop arguing."
He Qianjiao and Lou Fugui exchanged a spark-filled glance before looking away from each other.
Lou Fugui: "By the way, boss, why did you call me here?"
Xin Sui: "Let me introduce you, this is Li Beibei—"
Li Beibei interjected, "I'm your boss's third sister."
Xin Sui: "..."
"She is one of the store's suppliers, mainly providing ingredients from the desert."
"I'll be delivering goods once a month from now on. You two can add each other on the phone, and I'll leave the receiving of the goods to you."
"You have to check carefully. You can't let her off easy just because she's my third sister."
While sticking the card to Lou Fugui, Li Beibei complained, "Li Xueli, what kind of person do you take me for?"
"All the goods I receive undergo careful inspection, okay? The quality is absolutely top-notch!"
He Rui said kindly, "Beibei, the goods you collect are for the hot pot restaurant to serve to the customers. You have to be careful about what you put in their mouths."
"What if something poisonous gets mixed in? You know what I mean, right? Shirley is just thinking about the guests."
Xin Sui joked, "See, my brother-in-law is the most thoughtful."
Li Beibei glared at her and ate the food that He Ruike had put in her bowl.
After finishing a hot pot meal at three different tables, He Qianjiao still hadn't received a reply from Li Bate.
That's when she finally realized something was wrong.
If Li Bate had known his sister was here, he would have rushed over.
He hasn't arrived yet; the only possibility is that he hasn't seen the message.
But he always kept his crystal card close to his body, so he could know immediately if any news came in.
Even if I didn't have time to look at it then, surely I haven't seen it by now that half a day has passed?
Unless he can't see it at all.
He Qianjiao suddenly stood up. "Shirley, something might have happened to your brother!"
