But she ridiculously believed that he was her soulmate, and thus became obsessed with pursuing him for nearly twenty years.
If it weren't for her daughter's harsh words, she thinks she would still be feeling good about herself, continuing to stay by his side, continuing to live a life of quiet endurance, continuing to dream her unrealistic dream.
She may have physically walked out, but what about her heart?
Actually, you've become a little numb, haven't you?
So numb that they have no emotional response to the outside world.
Looking at her mother, whose eyes were blank but whose face was full of pain, Zhu Qianying sighed, stood up, and patted her mother's shoulder.
"Mom, I won't force you, just think about it carefully!"
With that, he turned and walked out.
Yan Shao is right. Mom is an adult. She has the ability to take responsibility on her own, including being able to stand up on her own!
Although it takes time, as her daughter, she has to give her as much time as she can, right?
Zhu Qianying walked out of the store, where the diners were still whispering and discussing Luo Yifan's "heroic rescue of the beauty," while Luo Yifan, the protagonist, was still eating his bowl of noodles.
Zhu Qianying walked over and took the bowl of noodles away with one hand. "The noodles are all mushy. Let me cook you another bowl."
Before Luo Yifan could answer, Zhu Qianying had already carried the noodles to the kitchen. "Okay, thank you, Ying'er!"
Okay, the title has changed from "Shadow" to "Shadow Child"!
I wonder if the way I address him will change in the near future.
Zhu Qianying smiled and walked out of the kitchen in a very good mood.
A few minutes later, a bowl of noodles made with Zhu Qianying's special recipe was placed in front of Luo Yifan. "Uncle Luo, please enjoy!"
"Thanks!"
Luo Yifan picked up his chopsticks with a smile, while Zhu Qianying turned around and went back to the cashier.
Whether the form of address changes or not doesn't really matter; after all, it's a matter of fate.
Even just as a friend, Luo Yifan is someone my mother should really get to know better.
Chen Jing stayed in the office for nearly ten minutes. When she came out, she immediately saw Luo Yifan sitting at the double desk in the corner.
The latter was eating noodles with his head down.
Chen Jing stared at the large bowl on the table, frowned slightly, walked over, and said, "Brother Luo, your noodles..."
After what had just happened, she couldn't bear to watch Luo Yifan eat vegetarian noodles. She wanted to suggest getting him a different bowl, but before she could finish speaking, the bowl of noodles that caught her eye was not just plain vegetarian noodles.
Not only does it smell delicious, but its appearance alone is enough to make one's mouth water.
If she remembered correctly, there was only an egg in his bowl, not even a piece of meat.
But now, there are two large shrimp, a braised egg, a sausage, and two slices of ham in the bowl.
Of course, these are only what the naked eye can see. What we can't see, or what else is eaten, is unknown.
Luo Yifan then looked up, smiled at her, and pointed to the cashier.
"Ying'er cooked this for me, it tastes great, just as good as yours!"
Chen Jingjing glanced at him quietly, then looked up at her daughter who was at the cashier, head down, seemingly calculating accounts or busy with her own things. After a long silence, she spoke to Luo Yifan.
"Thank you for what you did earlier!"
Luo Yifan waved his hand, "There's no need to thank me. I wouldn't go to great lengths for a friend, but I can certainly pretend to be a boyfriend and tease him."
Chen Jing hummed in agreement, glanced at his bowl of noodles again, and asked.
"Is that enough? If not, I'll cook you something else." His tone was very calm.
It seems that the gloom I felt earlier has subsided.
Luo Yifan hesitated for a moment, then looked regretful before asking with great remorse.
"Can I save this for later? Ying'er's cooking is so delicious!"
Chen Jing paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, just tell me what you want to eat in the future, and I'll make it for you!"
Luo Yifan's eyes lit up with surprise. "Really? A-Jing, you're not joking, are you?"
Chen Jing nodded very seriously, "Really!"
Turning around, he added, "Consider this a thank you gift for your help earlier!"
Luo Yifan seemed unresponsive to her next remark, and happily sat down to continue eating.
Although Zhu Qianying had her head down at the checkout counter, she heard every word of her mother's conversation with Luo Yifan.
Fearing that Zhu Zhizhou might cause some trouble later, Zhu Qianying sent a WeChat message to Yan Shao, explaining the situation to him in general terms.
In fact, Young Master Yan had already heard the news from his subordinates and was preparing to rush over.
Zhu Qianying replied, "No need. Everything is normal now. I suppose he just wanted to ask my mother for help and didn't intend to cause trouble."
Zhu Zhizhou is actually timid and cowardly, not the kind of person who can achieve great things. The reason why Mingxuan Group did not go bankrupt under his leadership is entirely because he was born at the right time, during a period of great economic development, and because the foundation built up by his ancestors was deep enough.
As for Zhu Junwei, after several encounters, Zhu Qianying could only describe him as unfathomable.
He was willing to incite a complete stranger to do so many stupid things just for the sake of a loan, and in the end, he even drove the woman crazy.
This man is so cunning that Zhu Qianying admits she cannot fathom his depths.
Actually, upon closer reflection, all the events that have occurred between her, Yan Shao, and Yi Wei over the past five years have been orchestrated by Zhu Junwei.
If all of his plans succeed, he will still be the biggest beneficiary!
Thinking carefully about all the details that have happened over the years, Zhu Qianying felt a chill run down her spine and her scalp tingle.
"Okay, I've already arranged for some people to go over there. You tell Mom to be as careful with the online orders we've been taking lately. If possible, see if we can use real-name registration or temporarily only accept reservations from regular customers. If all else fails, let's take a few days off and see how things go after this calms down."
Because restaurants are open for business every day, sometimes it's impossible to guard against everything.
"Okay, I'll try to filter the customers first. If possible, I don't want to close for the holidays."
Of course, we should still prepare for the worst, but for now, Zhu Qianying doesn't think it's necessary.
Not long after Zhu Qianying finished chatting with Yan Shao, two rather unfamiliar handsome young men walked in.
Zhu Qianying immediately became alert. The two men went straight to the cashier after entering the room. "Young Madam, Young Master Yan asked us to come and work as waiters."
After the two handsome young men finished speaking, Zhu Qianying received a notification on WeChat. She opened it and saw that it was a message from Yan Shao.
"I've found two people to work as waiters. You can make the arrangements."
Then two more photos were sent. When I opened them, they showed the two handsome young men standing in front of the cashier.
