She pointed to the cakes in the display window, smiled politely at the clerk, and asked, "Excuse me, could you make me a copy of this cake?"
The girl in front of me was very beautiful, especially when she smiled. Her eyebrows and eyes curved, and she always gave people a very pure and clean feeling, like a valley full of lilies, bright and beautiful.
With looks like that, it's easy to develop a liking for her just by looking at her.
The shop assistant nodded gently, "Of course."
Having received a positive answer, the girl smiled even more brightly. "That's wonderful! Can we remove 'Happy Birthday' and replace it with 'Happy Divorce'?"
Seemingly stunned by this unusual request, the shop assistant widened her eyes slightly, looking at the girl in front of her with disbelief. "Happy divorce?"
The girl nodded firmly, "Yes, it's about a happy divorce!"
Upon hearing this, the shop assistant swallowed hard.
People these days are really getting better and better at it.
Some people ask the cake decorator to draw two eggs and a sausage, some ask for something soft, and now there's even a request for "happy divorce."
Running a cake business is becoming increasingly difficult.
"Okay, okay, please wait a moment."
......
Half an hour later, the cake decorator made an exquisite Ultraman cake according to the girl's request, and wrote "Happy Divorce" in big letters on it, as requested by Yan Xici.
Of course, it's not cheap either, costing three hundred yuan.
The girl checked her WeChat balance of 500 yuan and made the payment without hesitation.
Despite her generous spending on cakes, she's actually quite thrifty in everyday life.
Since starting university, although her older sister has given her living expenses, she hasn't spent a single penny!
This is where the benefits of good grades come in. She receives scholarships, and her Bilibili account brings in several thousand yuan a month, which she can't possibly spend. Not to mention the money her sister gives her, which she doesn't need at all. She's saved up hundreds of thousands of yuan.
In fact, she's a low-key little rich woman.
After buying the cake, the girl walked home with cheerful steps.
Before her brother-in-law returned, she decisively walked to the coffee table, opened the drawer, found his contacts, carefully entered them into her phone, and nervously dialed the number.
"Hello?" the girl asked sweetly and cautiously. "Are you Brother Xu Cheng?"
Xu Cheng paused for a moment, then asked, "Who are you?"
His tone was not very pleasant.
Just now, Xu Cheng had a fight with his wife's older sister, who is also his sister-in-law.
The two families originally opened a hot pot restaurant together, spending a total of over 700,000 yuan, which was split equally between the two families. They agreed that it would be considered as shares, and they would make money together.
However, with business declining in recent years, their store has essentially lost money.
To cut his losses, he has no choice but to close down, but his wife's sister is demanding that he return the 350,000 yuan to her.
Where did Xu Cheng get the money? Besides, it was agreed that each of them would own 50% of the shares. Now that the company has lost money, why should he have to pay out of pocket?
The two of them have been arguing about this for days, and they're really getting anxious right now.
Having confirmed the other party's identity, the daughter breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Brother Xu Cheng, it's me, Xi Ci."
Xu Cheng was taken aback when he heard it was Yan Xici.
Xiao Ran's sister-in-law?
Why did she contact me?
He and Xiao Ran had known each other since high school, and were roommates in college; their relationship was incredibly close.
Xu Cheng blurted out, "Xiao Ran, something happened to you?"
"No, no, Brother Cheng, please don't misunderstand," the girl hurriedly explained. "My sister and brother-in-law got divorced today, and I hope you can come and keep him company..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Cheng was stunned. Xiao Ran got divorced?
That son of a bitch, something so serious happened and he didn't even tell me!
He cleared his throat. "Don't worry, I'll be there in a minute!"
My shop closed down, my brother got divorced—misfortune really struck all at once!
I'll have two drinks today, one high and one low.
Hearing that he was coming, the girl cautiously spoke up, "Brother Xu Cheng, could you please not tell my brother yet...?"
The main reason was that she was afraid Xiao Ran would find out and stop her.
He has always been someone who keeps his thoughts to himself and doesn't like to trouble others. He's best at pretending that nothing is wrong and that he doesn't care about anything.
But the more he acted this way, the more worried Yanxi became, which is why she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Xu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Oh... okay, okay."
Thinking of his own sister-in-law and then of other people's sisters-in-law, Xu Cheng shook his head. A man in his thirties was not as good as an 18-year-old girl.
If she understood herself even a little, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
After hanging up the phone, the girl patted her slightly nervous heart. The first call was a success; now it was time for the second!
She did the same thing and called Zhang Chuan again.
He's also my brother-in-law's friend; we have a good relationship.
"Hey, Zhang Chuan, this is Xi Ci. Are you free tonight? Can you come over for dinner?"
Zhang Chuan was a frequent visitor to Xiao Ran's house. Every time he went, Yan Li was not there, but Yan Xici was always there. The girl was beautiful and well-behaved, so naturally Zhang Chuan treated her very well.
The two of them had a slightly better relationship than Xu Cheng.
Therefore, Yan Xici spoke to him more casually.
“Sure, where’s your brother-in-law?” Zhang Chuan readily agreed.
"My sister and brother-in-law got divorced today. My brother-in-law went out and hasn't come back yet. I wanted you to come and keep him company," the girl told him truthfully.
"No problem, wait for me, I'll be there soon. By the way, do you have any drinks at home? If not, I'll bring some over."
"Yes, yes, I bought it, and there's also beer. Thank you!" the girl said cheerfully.
......
After making the phone call, it's time for the simplest and most important step: ordering takeout.
It's not that I'm too lazy to do it, it's just that I don't have enough time.
Four people would need at least eight dishes, and it would take at least two or three hours to prepare them.
Not only is there clearly not enough time, but my cooking skills are also quite poor. If I mess it up again, that would be terrible.
I promptly searched for my brother-in-law's favorite barbecue restaurant and ordered ten kidneys, ten lamb skewers, ten beef skewers, and finally, a spicy hot pot and spicy stir-fried snails. These are all must-orders for my brother-in-law when he eats barbecue.
The table was full of dishes that my brother-in-law liked to eat.
After ordering takeout, the girl started tidying up the house.
Time always flies, and an hour and a half has already passed.
While I was tidying up the house, I suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
