Chapter 101 Ex-Girlfriend



Zhu Xiaofang said angrily, "Our Guobin was assigned to a factory after returning home. The efficiency of the factory is poor, much worse than that of the army. But I came to Beijing to work, and it was just right to start from sales. Our superiors valued me very much, so they let me come here for further study."

Unexpectedly, this Zhu Xiaofang is also a talent. Chen Yun can only admire her: "That's not bad. You can have some coffee. Do you want more companions?"

"No need to add more. How much is a cup of coffee?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Fifteen yuan a cup. This is more expensive. It's the most expensive one I have here."

Anyway, coffee will definitely be more expensive, while other sweet soups are very cheap. Zhu Xiaofang hesitated for a moment, and then saw another kind of hot apple soup on Chen Yun's counter, so she ordered coffee anyway.

"Just two cups of coffee." Zhu Xiaofang said casually.

Chen Yun never thought that her first big business was made by Zhu Xiaofang. Chen Yun readily agreed. In fact, she was not very familiar with making coffee. She went straight in without a partner.

After a while, a man came. In this era, it was rare to see people wearing suits and leather shoes. Most people still wore sneakers. This man was in his thirties and had a very elegant temperament. She thought he looked familiar. Oh, yes, this was the man who played the role of the eldest master in Xiaoyue.

Zhu Xiaofang took a sip of coffee, shook her head and said to the man, "This instant coffee doesn't taste good. The best coffee is Cuban coffee beans. The rich coffee aroma will linger on your lips and teeth."

The man pursed his lips and smiled: "You are indeed a woman with great taste. I believe we will cooperate better in the future. You should study hard here now. Let's meet here when we are free. It's very quiet here."

There are stepped bookshelves near the small round table, on which are placed some magazines or books. The bookshelves surround them, making it seem like a separate place.

Zhu Xiaofang nodded. She and the man had endless things to talk about. She was not sent here by the company for further studies, but she paid for it herself. She couldn't stay in that small place in her hometown for a day. She never yearned for such a life. But poor Gao Guobin could stay in such a factory. She could already imagine that if the factory laid off employees in the future, he would definitely be one of them.

If she doesn't come out and mess around, there will be no certainty in her future.

Today, the country's economic and political center is still in Beijing. By being able to take root in the capital, her son Mengxiang can also live a good life in such a place, and Mengxiang's college entrance examination score line will be lower in the future.

But if she wanted to settle down in Beijing, it was best to study at her own expense. She used her connections to get in as an auditor. She only had a completion certificate but no university diploma. However, this was already very good for Zhu Xiaofang.

She paid, and Chen Yun put thirty yuan into the counter. Zi Rui was now gradually able to go to the toilet by himself. Chen Yun had a small bathroom behind the curtain, and he came out of it by himself, with half of his buttocks exposed. He finally realized that he was afraid of embarrassment, and covered his face with his hands as he came to Chen Yun.

Chen Yun helped him pull up his pants. Zi Rui wanted to eat, so Chen Yun brought a small stove to heat up the rice as before. Now, because Chen Yun made her own porridge, she put the rice in front of him first. After noon, Chen Yun leisurely opened the book and taught Zi Rui to read.

People came in twos and threes, some to read, some to browse, in short, it attracted quite a lot of people here. Although there seemed to be a lot of people, few people bought books, and she also found the sequelae, some people really didn't take good care of books.

After reading all the magazines, Chen Yun put the books there with care. She thought of a solution and asked Liu Qiao to find a carpenter to make a railing for her after returning home.

Only those who bought drinks could enter. Liu Qiao frowned: "Is this okay?"

"Of course this is good, user pays. Captain Liu, come, I'll treat you to some glutinous rice balls today." Chen Yun asked Liu Qiao to come in and have some, so that he could also enjoy this treatment.

Liu Qiao walked around the store and could see Chen Yun's attentiveness everywhere. Even the tablecloths on the tables were carefully selected and looked very expensive.

He saw Zi Rui flipping through a book here, so he went over to take a look out of curiosity. Chen Yun couldn't help but feel as if she had eaten honey when she saw both the father and son eating glutinous rice balls.

Suddenly a young man came in. He looked at the dolls in Chen Yun's store and asked, "Madam boss, I want to give my girlfriend a gift. What do you think is suitable?"

Although he was asking Chen Yun, his eyes had actually been on the dolls. Chen Yun understood what he meant and said, "The best ones are dolphin or bunny dolls. Mickey would be fine if they are a little more playful!"

The boy scratched his hair: "But I only have ten dollars?"

Chen Yun still smiled and said, "Then take a look at these clips or hourglasses next to it?" Although she also sympathized with the boy, running a business is not like running a charity. Besides, if the boy is sincere, even if he sincerely chooses a clip, it is his intention. Similarly, if he is not sincere, no matter how expensive the gift is, it will be in vain.

Seeing that Chen Yun was unmoved by his pleas, he left angrily, and Chen Yun said nothing more.

A few more girls came in and picked out some jewelry, paid and left. Chen Yun took the money and put it away carefully. After Liu Qiao finished eating the dumplings, the couple prepared to close the store and leave.

The university environment is very good, with tree-lined avenues and colorful fallen petals. The couple, holding the hands of their son in the middle, walked comfortably on the path.

Chen Yun smiled and told Liu Qiao what she had seen today: "Today a foreign student came to my store to buy something. Isn't it said that foreigners have money? But he insisted on bargaining with me before buying something. How can this be true?"

"There are poor people in foreign countries too. Our country is not rich, but those who can go to college properly must come from well-off families."

Chen Yun nodded after listening to what he said, and went home to make some simple noodles. Liu Qiao was not satisfied after eating them. He usually ate mostly rice, but these past few days he had noodles for almost every meal, which made him sick of it.

Seeing that he was dissatisfied, Chen Yun said quickly: "Let's cook tomorrow, cook rice. Why are you like a child, unhappy when you eat something you don't like?" In the end, Liu Qiao's picky eating habit could not be changed, and as his wife, she could only try her best to satisfy him.

"That's good." Liu Qiao's sadness turned into joy.

Chen Yun said to little Zirui: "Zirui, your father is really a child..."

Being called a child, Liu Qiao acted even more childishly and picked up Chen Yun to play with her while she was washing dishes. Chen Yun complained about him at first, but later she found it quite fun.

She laughed and said, "Maybe Zi Rui likes to lift his head high. It's really fun."

In fact, Chen Yun is also like a child. Liu Qiao likes her energy and they can play together. Being with her is endless fun.

She even asked Liu Qiao to ride her horse and run around the house. It was so much fun, as if she was back in her childhood.

Zirui ran behind his father, and the family's laughter could be heard outside.

Lin Jing is the teacher of the Chinese class. This course is a large class with several classes taking it together. She is not actually a lecturer at this university, but was hired by this school because of her husband's relationship.

Her husband is also a university teacher like her, but her husband is a little higher in rank than her, and is already an associate professor at a young age. The two are well matched, with similar academic qualifications, and are both gentle and elegant, unlike her ex-boyfriend who was very domineering.

Today, when she was in class, she found that a student named Zhu Xiaofang was very good at Chinese poetry, so she couldn't help but talk to her a few more words. On the way to the campus, Zhu Xiaofang also discussed Greek mythology with her. They walked out of a fork in the road, and Lin Jing couldn't help but stop.

The person who should have been forgotten in her heart suddenly appeared in her heart. She could not move her feet. The person obviously saw her, but just nodded lightly and walked away, as if he was a stranger.

Zhu Xiaofang did say, "Did Liu Qiao really get promoted?"

Lin Jing pretended not to care and asked, "Do you know Liu Qiao?"

Zhu Xiaofang glanced at Lin Jing and said, "My husband and he were once in the same military camp. We lived next door to each other for several years. How come we didn't know each other? You also know Liu Qiao?"

Lin Jing said calmly: "My high school classmate."

When Zhu Xiaofang heard that they were just high school classmates, she lost interest and started talking about Achilles again, so Lin Jing also changed the subject.

With the sunset on her body, Chen Yun put away all the money she had earned today. When she saw Liu Qiao coming, she said happily, "Honey, come and see how much money I made today?"

Liu Qiao asked seriously, "How much did you earn?"

"I made 80 yuan today. I really didn't expect to make so much. So let's go home and stew some lamb chops and stir-fry your favorite green beans. This way, the combination of meat and vegetables will help relieve the greasy feeling." Chen Yun said happily.

The happiest thing for her every day was to count her wallet, then happily take care of her children and use the money to make delicious food for her husband and son.

Seeing her like this, Liu Qiao was also happy for her. He was the only one who knew how much effort she had put into this store. Coming to a strange place, the only one she could rely on was each other. He felt that since Chen Yun had found her own way to be happy, he was also happy for her.

As for Lin Jing, he really didn't feel anything when he saw her. His only thought at that time was to quickly find Chen Yun and go home with her so as not to miss the bus and have to wait for a long time again.

Liu Qiao took a sip of the rich lamb chop soup with great enjoyment. Chen Yun gave him some wine that she had brewed herself, and he couldn't stop drinking after drinking a small glass.

"It's delicious, Yunyun, how did you make it?"

"My sisters-in-law taught me. It's not difficult, it's quite simple." Chen Yun feels different here than in Longcheng. The sisters-in-law here are all quite old and very nice.

Some sisters-in-law taught her how to make steamed buns, some taught her how to make wine, and some were even kind enough to tell her where the food was cheap. In fact, the interpersonal relationships here are much better than those in Longcheng.

In fact, Chen Yun's personality is quite likable. She is very gentle and lovely. Almost all the ladies wish to be like Chen Yun. Maybe in the eyes of some strong women, they think she is just a dodder, but for the family, they wish to have a relative like Chen Yun.

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "You have quite a good relationship with people here..."

"Of course, we are new here, so of course we have to be kind to others. If we are kind to others, then they will naturally want to be friends with us, so won't we be able to live in harmony?" Chen Yun said proudly.

Seeing her naughty expression, Liu Qiao found it funny, but he still said to her: "Yunyun, I've told you that you must tell me if I say something you don't like. You usually get along well with me, but you always put yourself in a difficult position when it comes to big things. You are my wife, the person I want to love for the rest of my life, don't always give in to me."

"I'm not saying that I have to accommodate you, nor am I hiding it in my heart. In fact, I always thought you knew what I was thinking, and you understood me. Now I know that we must be honest with each other in the future." Chen Yun said solemnly.

Liu Qiao kissed her forehead: "Well, that's for sure."

Chen Yun said in a dismay, "Husband, you kissed my forehead so hard that it was all greasy..."

"Come, let me wipe you..." He said wiping, but actually he was kissing her with his mouth again.

The two of them were making so much noise that Zi Rui couldn't even eat his meal. The chubby kid even banged the table with a spoon to show his dissatisfaction. After the noise, Liu Qiao said to Chen Yun, "Yun Yun, I saw Lin Jing today. She seems to be teaching in this school too. When you see her in the future, just treat her like an ordinary person. Don't take it too seriously."

Lin Jing also teaches at this university. Chen Yun thought about it and saw Liu Qiao saying this to her. It was obvious that he was afraid that she would misunderstand or something. Chen Yun shook her head: "Brother Liu Qiao, I believe you."

"Do you really believe me?" Liu Qiao scratched her nose.

Chen Yun said calmly, "Actually, I knew I would meet Sister Lin Jing when I came to Beijing, but I also knew that Brother Liu Qiao was not the kind of person who would compromise. If he hadn't really let it go, he wouldn't be with me. We've been through so much together, and these are all our memories now. The past is over, and you don't have to mention it to me. I hope we can be like this in the future."

"I will." Liu Qiao promised.

Chen Yun smiled and said, "I believe you will. Otherwise, even if it is a military marriage, I will definitely get a divorce. I can compromise or even tolerate other things, but I can't tolerate this kind of thing."

Liu Qiao laughed: "The little girl now understands what it means to have a sweet tooth. Don't worry, I only have this woman named Chen Yun in my heart, and I don't care about anyone else."

Seeing Liu Qiao's attitude, Chen Yun felt relieved. She certainly felt that she couldn't let her guard down, but she didn't need to be overly nervous, because many things that were supposed to happen couldn't be stopped, and things that weren't supposed to happen couldn't happen even if you slept in the same bed. At the same time, she had to have confidence in herself. She was confident that Liu Qiao loved her.

Otherwise, if she messed up her position before anything happened, wouldn't that be helping her opponent? Moreover, from Chen Yun's point of view, Lin Jing might not return the favor.
