When they were in Guangzhou, Duan San asked Xu Nuo how to pursue a girl, and she casually replied, "It's all about developing feelings over time. You can ask her out for a meal or go shopping or something."
Liu Huifang felt it was inappropriate for her to remain silent for so long, so she said with a flushed face, "Maybe he really just wants my help."
Seeing her rosy cheeks and affectionate eyes, filled with undisguised joy and shyness, Xu Nuo asked her softly, "What do you think of Duan San?"
Liu Huifang replied without hesitation: "Duan San is great, he's capable and kind-hearted."
This shows that King Xiang was interested, and the goddess was also in love.
Very good.
Xu Nuo was so engrossed in talking to Liu Huifang that she didn't notice the shops on the street until Li Xian called out to her.
She turned her head, and Li Xian stepped forward, pointing to a store: "I didn't want to eat wontons."
He reached out and adjusted her cardigan collar, then pulled her back to his side.
The four of them went in together.
Liu Huifang and Duan San both ordered pork wontons. Xu Nuo couldn't decide between pork and shrimp, so Li Xian ordered a bowl of both.
When the wontons were served, Duan San looked at the chili oil floating on the soup and said in surprise, "Brother Li, aren't you unable to eat spicy food?"
Li Xian can't eat spicy food?
Xu Nuo immediately turned to look at him: "Don't you eat spicy food?"
Xu Nuo likes spicy food, and Li Xian would always add chili peppers according to her taste when cooking. She always thought that Li Xian could also eat spicy food.
Li Xian scalded her small bowl, then scooped in wontons one spoonful at a time, replying, "You can eat it."
At first, I wasn't used to it, but I got used to it after a while.
Seeing Xu Nuo staring at him with a hint of disbelief, Li Xian smiled and said, "It's true."
Duan San and Liu Huifang exchanged a knowing glance.
Lighting up the world is something everyone can do.
Li Xian blew on the wontons in the small bowl to cool them down and placed them in front of Xu Nuo. Xu Nuo scooped one up and put it in her mouth.
The wontons at this restaurant are famous for being huge, with generous fillings and thin wrappers. When a whole wonton was put in, Xu Nuo immediately looked like a little goldfish, chewing for a long time with her cheeks puffed out before swallowing it.
Seeing that she was having trouble chewing, Li Xian said in a low voice, "Chew it in half."
Xu Nuo nodded, and this time obediently took a bite of half a piece, savoring it slowly.
Wontons are already delicious, and the vinegar and chili oil in the soup make them even more unforgettable.
After eating the fresh meat, Xu Nuo couldn't wait to eat a shrimp. Li Xian understood and scooped one up with a spoon, habitually handing it to her mouth: "Bite it open."
Xu Nuo took a bite, chewed it carefully, and shook her head: "It's not tasty, not as good as fresh meat."
Duan San was eating his fresh meat wontons and was about to nod when he saw Li Xian eat the wonton that Xu Nuo had taken a bite of without changing his expression.
Duan San was startled and forgot to speak.
Xu Nuo ate two small bowls of fresh meat, filling her small stomach completely.
Clutching her stomach dejectedly, she let out a regretful burp.
"Li Xian, I'm too full, but I still have rice cakes and glutinous rice balls to eat."
Li Xian patted her head: "I'll buy it for you to eat tonight."
Because she was too full, Xu Nuo didn't go to find Lin Xiaofeng.
Liu Huifang has children at home, so Xu Nuo gave her all the candied hawthorns so she could take them back for the children to eat.
As a result, Xu Nuo didn't find out about Nuo Mei's accident until the third day.
Li Xian was no longer in Shanghai at that time, so Xu Nuo did not go home. Liu Xiaofeng only found her when she came to the school.
Liu Xiaofeng was usually very composed and rarely panicked like this. Xu Nuo knew that something must have happened.
"What's wrong?"
When Liu Xiaofeng saw Xu Nuo, her heart, which had been pounding, finally calmed down a little.
She took a breath and said, "Did that old Chinese medicine doctor come to cause trouble?"
Xu Nuo was taken aback: "An old Chinese medicine doctor?"
She was asking a question, but Liu Xiaofeng misunderstood it as nervousness.
When they first met in Luxian County, Xu Nuo told Lin Xiaofeng that the herbal tea was developed by an old Chinese medicine doctor in Shanghai, and that she was just the buyer.
At the time, I just didn't want to expose myself, so I randomly found someone to take the blame.
Xu Nuo knew it was a lie, but Lin Xiaofeng did not.
Lin Xiaofeng had always thought that Xu Nuo had obtained the old Chinese medicine doctor's permission to open Nuomei Biotechnology, until a few days ago when some rumors started circulating and many customers came to the store to inquire whether Nuomei had appropriated the old Chinese medicine doctor's prescription.
Lin Xiaofeng naturally believed Xu Nuo, but what Xu Nuo said was reasonable and well-founded. He said that Xu Nuo initially bought herbal tea and moisturizing oil from an old Chinese medicine doctor named Chen Feng. He thought the medicine was effective and had a crooked idea. He secretly looked at the prescription when the doctor wasn't paying attention.
Later, relying on someone else's prescription, he started a company and made a lot of money.
Lin Xiaofeng naturally denied the unpleasant rumors.
This morning, the legendary traditional Chinese medicine doctor Chen Feng appeared, crying and making a scene at the entrance of Nuomei Biotechnology's main store.
Xu Nuo needs to give her an explanation.
The main store is located on the first floor of the Zhongxu Building, in a bustling area of Shanghai, with a lot of pedestrian traffic, which quickly attracted a large number of onlookers.
Chen Fang cried and protested her innocence, and even hung a sign around her neck with the words "Xu Nuo plagiarized her prescription" written on it.
Chen Wei, who knew about Li Xian and Xu Nuo's relationship, called security to take them away. Unexpectedly, Chen Fang came prepared, holding a knife to her neck and crying out that could be heard throughout the street: "I have no power or influence. If these people drag me away, they will definitely kill me to silence me. Please help me and give me justice!"
For a moment, Zhong Xu's security guards didn't dare to drag Chen Feng away.
Having no other choice, Lin Xiaofeng quickly went to the school to find Xu Nuo.
When Xu Nuo arrived at the scene, the area in front of the Zhongxu Building was already packed with people, three layers deep.
Xu Nuo could even hear Chen Feng's accusations from outside the crowd: "I kindly showed her the prescription, and not only did she copy it, but she also started this big company and made so much money. Every penny she made was like stabbing me in the heart."
A passerby who sympathized with her said, "Old lady, don't be afraid. When the police arrive, just tell them the whole story, and they will definitely stand up for you."
"Yes, yes, let that Xu Nuo come out and return the ill-gotten gains to the old Chinese medicine doctor."
"Yes, I heard he's a college student from Shanghai. How shameless."
…
Xu Nuo was led in through the back door by Chen Wei's men.
Liu Xiaofeng was sweating profusely from the anxiety of the people outside, but seeing Xu Nuo's calm demeanor, she felt a miraculous sense of peace.
But I still can't help but worry.
Xu Nuo said that the old Chinese medicine doctor was just a front, and that she had personally developed the herbal tea. But now people have come to her door to make trouble, so it seems she was prepared for this.
just in case…
Xu Yan was equally worried.
She rushed over as soon as she heard about the incident.
She knew the source of the herbal tea and understood that the old Chinese medicine doctor outside was just trying to scam her.
The best way to prove Xu Nuo's innocence is for her to prove that she made the herbal tea herself, but that would mean...
Wouldn't Xu Nuo's secret be exposed?
