Chapter 2 Suspicion
Because she didn't sleep well last night, Fang Yuxin didn't wake up until almost nine in the morning. After changing her clothes and going out, she saw Qu Qianhe sitting on the sofa in the living room. Qu Qianhe was reading a magazine in her hand. When she heard footsteps, she raised her head, put down the magazine in her hand, and looked at Fang Yuxin gently: "Are you hungry? Go sit down, I'll ask Aunt Li to bring you something to eat."
She didn't wait for Fang Yuxin to answer when she said this, and she called out, "Aunt Li, bring Xinxin some breakfast."
Aunt Li, who was busy in the kitchen, responded immediately and soon came out with a tray. Although the breakfast was simple, it was very nutritious. Fang Yuxin was already hungry, and she felt even more uncomfortable in her stomach after smelling the fragrance. The fragrant and soft seafood porridge stimulated her sensitive taste buds as soon as she took a bite, which aroused her appetite.
Fang Yuxin almost wolfed down the porridge, looking like a refugee who had been hungry for a long time, which frightened Qu Qianhe and Aunt Li. Aunt Li couldn't help but ask, "Madam? What's wrong with Xinxin? Why is she so hungry?"
Qu Qianhe thought of Fang Yuxin's screams in the early morning, and her brows knitted slightly. Fang Yuxin looked like she was not right. She was worried about Fang Yuxin, so she waited here on purpose. She wanted to counsel Fang Yuxin after she woke up, but Fang Yuxin's eating habits had changed, and she was so shocked that she was speechless.
Fang Yuxin quickly finished the rest of the breakfast, then took the empty bowl of porridge and said to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, do you have any more porridge? Help me get another bowl, I want to drink more."
Aunt Li looked at Qu Qianhe in embarrassment. She felt that Fang Yuxin had eaten a lot, more than usual. If she ate more, she would be sick. She had studied nutrition and paid more attention to health preservation. She emphasized eating until she was 80% full, so she was in a dilemma.
Qu Qianhe shook her head and said, "Pack them all up."
Aunt Li quickly picked up the bowl and plate when she heard this, fearing that Fang Yuxin would continue to eat. Fang Yuxin's face flashed with confusion for a moment, then he lowered his head and clenched his fists. Last night's dream was too real. After experiencing the struggle for survival in the end of the world and the days of uncertainty, Fang Yuxin subconsciously felt hungry and could never eat enough.
But after a closer look, she realized that she was full and even a little bloated. Qu Qianhe pulled her to sit on the sofa, stroked her head with her hand, and asked worriedly: "Xinxin, are you okay? Tell me, what happened to you? Is it because of the nightmare last night? What did you dream about?"
Fang Yuxin couldn't help but throw herself into Qu Qianhe's arms and hugged her tightly. Qu Qianhe had a light and pleasant tea fragrance on her body, which had a refreshing and calming effect, and was very different from the rich fragrance emanating from Fang Mengyao in the dream.
Fang Yuxin felt Qu Qianhe's soft body, and her heart calmed down little by little - Qu Qianhe was still alive, and her father and brother were also fine, which was really great! As for Fang Mengyao, she believed that she would find out the truth!
Feeling Qu Qianhe's worried gaze, Fang Yuxin felt ashamed and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I can't tell you now, but don't worry, I'll be fine soon!"
Qu Qianhe had no choice but to give up: "Okay, since you don't want to tell me, just accompany your mother to go shopping." In fact, she wanted to take Fang Yuxin out to relax.
Fang Yuxin didn't refuse, but after going out, facing the tall buildings and the bustling crowd, Fang Yuxin just wanted to escape and be alone. Qu Qianhe pulled her wrist hard, and seeing her panic, she couldn't help but frowned and asked: "Xinxin, are you really okay? How about mom take you to the hospital?"
Hospital? No! You absolutely cannot go there! At this moment, a news report was playing on the display screen of the store next door, saying that a global flu had broken out, and calling on the general public to pay attention to safety and seek medical treatment in time. Fang Yuxin suddenly remembered that a global flu had also broken out in his dream, and many people were hospitalized with high fevers. As a result, when the end of the world came, the hospital became the most dangerous place, and almost no one escaped, and all of them turned into zombies.
So she subconsciously said, "No! We can't go to the hospital!" Because her tone was so harsh, everyone around who heard it couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
Qu Qianhe quickly pulled Fang Yuxin away and didn't continue to talk about going to the hospital. Fang Yuxin was still thinking about the news just now. She silently counted the time. If that dream was true, the world would end in another month. She had to do something in advance! Thinking of this, Fang Yuxin took out her mobile phone and called her assistant. She used her savings to buy a villa in the newly developed villa area in the west of the city, and she handed the decoration matters to her assistant.
Not long after the phone rang, the assistant answered: "Hello? Mr. Fang? What's going on?"
Fang Yuxin immediately asked, "How is the decoration of the villa in the west of the city going?"
Assistant: "We have already finished more than half of the renovation. What happened to Mr. Fang?"
Fang Yuxin recalled the size of the villa and said, "Send the information to my email. You don't have to be responsible for this matter. I will come in person. Also, how is the supermarket business?"
Although the assistant was a little curious, she was smart enough not to ask anything and just said, "Okay, I'll pack the information and send it to you later. Also, the supermarket business is pretty good, but many employees are sick and have asked for leave. They said they had a fever and were admitted to the hospital. We are a little short of manpower. Mr. Fang, do you think we should hire some people temporarily?"
Fang Yuxin thought about it and said directly: "No need, I have other arrangements at the supermarket. Please notify them that there will be a meeting at 2:30 in the afternoon. I have something to announce. Okay, it's okay, I'll hang up." After she said that, she hung up the phone.
Qu Qianhe had been silent until she saw that she had finished her call, so she couldn't help but ask, "Xinxin, what do you want to do?"
Fang Yuxin didn't hide it from her and simply told her her plan: "Mom, I want to close the supermarket first."
Qu Qianhe was puzzled: "Why close it? Even if you want to expand your business, you can just rent the shop next door and do business while renovating it, right?"
Fang Yuxin smiled and said, "Mom, don't ask me anymore. I have my own plans."
Qu Qianhe saw that she finally smiled, her eyes gradually brightened, and her complexion was much better than before, no longer like a frightened bird. She was relieved and did not ask Fang Yuxin what she wanted to do.
Fang Yuxin was smiling, and the shadow cast by her eyelashes perfectly concealed the darkness in her eyes. Fang's Jiahe Supermarket is a large-scale affordable supermarket, and the manager is Fang Yuxin. The Fang family opened this supermarket not for profit, and the prices inside are only slightly higher than the wholesale price, and the quality control is quite strict, for the purpose of charity. Those with senior citizen cards, minimum living security cards and disability certificates can apply for membership in the supermarket, and can get discounts when shopping, and even provide door-to-door delivery services.
As a result, the supermarket couldn't make any money, and even lost money every year. In addition, the Fang family also set up a charity fund to donate to those in need. But even so, after the end of the world, the Jiahe supermarket was emptied out, and Fang Mengyao slandered the Fang family for being "hypocritical", "fake charity", and "showy", and many people believed it. No one stood on the side of the Fang family.
Fang Yuxin felt heartbroken! But she decided to close the supermarket for another reason: she wanted to stock up on supplies!
