Regarding the fact that all four children in the family go to and from school on their own and can come home on time even when they go out to play.
Parents are satisfied.
The older brothers were also satisfied.
Juanjuan felt uneasy, for no other reason than this.
Because! She knows too much!
For example, right now.
This was the second morning of their day off, and the family was having breakfast together.
Mother: [Hmph~ I knew no one could escape the charm of the Great Sage!]
Father: [Liang Tian'er is back in Beijing, but I've secured the marketing rights for Shiwei Restaurant! We'll take down Zhenxiu Restaurant, and I'll get a bigger share of the profits!! Profits, profits, profits!]
Big Brother: [I knew my strategy of retreating to advance would work! Today is my day off, so I can spend a whole day on Taobao!]
Second Brother: [The message was sent to Liang Tian'er through someone, but we don't know if she'll help. It's all up to luck. As long as it reaches Wuyou Hall, the family will know.]
Third Brother: [A great hero actually helped Shiwei Restaurant turn the tide, but Kang An is still a potential threat and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible!]
The sentiments of these influential figures resonated almost simultaneously.
There was so much key information inside that Juanjuan couldn't help but slow down her eating.
When she was at school, she could hear less noise.
Once home, when it's time to eat, it seems like no one is talking at the table, but in reality, it's quite noisy around Juanjuan's place.
"Juanjuan, you're spacing out again, hurry up and eat!"
Jiang Dai looked at her little girl, who was slowly eating again and even starting to daydream, and was a little puzzled.
What's wrong with Juanjuan? These past few days, she's been spacing out every time it's mealtime.
My cooking isn't the best, but it's not terrible either! At least I can still eat it...
"Thank you, Mother."
The little one gave his mother a soft smile and lowered his head to eat.
My older brother's rambling voice still echoes in my head from time to time.
[Making money by robbing others and becoming a gang leader won't work; the amount of money earned is too small, and it's unnecessary.]
Juanjuan: She said that her older brother has been going out a lot lately, it turns out he went to become the boss.
I've already found out about the black market these past few days! Apparently, the black market in Furong City is the most bustling, I really want to check it out...
Juanjuan: What is the black market? Black persimmons?
Juanjuan has gotten used to her older brother's constant nagging during meals, and even feels that if she doesn't listen to him one day, she will feel like something is missing.
"Do you want to go shopping today? Mommy will go with you!"
Jiang Dai put down her rice bowl and asked the four children softly.
Bai Yunqi: "Mom! I want to go out and play with Shengzi!"
[Stop kidding me. I've endured so much for so long, and I only have one day off. Do you think I'd stay put under my mother's nose? What a joke!]
Bai Yun'an also smiled slightly: "Mother, I made an appointment to go to Zhengxian's house to read books."
The potential risks should be addressed as soon as possible; they cannot be delayed.
"Oh well."
Jiang Dai's gaze fell on her second son and little daughter, who hadn't yet refused her, and her eyes were full of anticipation: "Want to go shopping with your mother?"
As a mama's girl, Juanjuan nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"
Bai Yunxing nodded: "Okay."
Since he had nothing else to do, accompanying his mother shopping was a way of fulfilling his filial duty, and he could also help carry some things.
...
"Useless! What's the point of even looking at the accounts at the Zhenxiulou restaurant?!"
Kang An flung his hand away, and the ledger hit the steward in the face, leaving a red mark.
"A foreign dancer who can earn thousands of gold coins in the capital is actually outshone by a storyteller at the Shiwei Restaurant. If this gets back to the capital, will I ever be able to go back?"
The steward knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a word.
But only the person in charge knows what he's really thinking.
They might be cursing him in their hearts, but on the surface they still had to be respectful and humble.
A careful, polite knock on the door interrupted Kang An's anger.
"Sir, we've found out the storyteller's background."
Upon hearing this, Kang An's brows furrowed with a hint of sternness. "Get inside and talk!"
