Chapter 119 Someone Wants to See You
Lu Yunchen was in a bad mood.
Even worse than when he learned that his mission had been repeatedly thwarted.
He lit up the cigarettes one after another, and the room was filled with smoke, making it almost impossible to see his face.
The signalman didn't even dare to breathe, he just stood there with his head held high, and he wanted to speak several times but didn't dare to say anything.
Until Lu Yunchen finally reached out and dialed a number.
A distinctly unpleasant exchange ensued.
Only after he put down the phone did the signalman slowly come forward and say, "Captain, we are now..."
"What do you want to say?"
Lu Yunchen glanced at him.
"Brothers, everything has been arranged. Should we evacuate now or continue the mission?"
"Pass the order down and continue the mission."
Lu Yunchen has always been a man who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. He just didn't expect that someone would plot against him for a woman. For now, he is on a mission, and when he returns...
A fierce look flashed in his eyes. Since he dared to plot against Lu Yunchen, he should be prepared for his revenge!
As for the mission, he not only has to complete it, but also strives to do his best.
…
Because she discovered Lu Yunchen's whereabouts, Huang Xinran couldn't help but go to the open-air cinema again when she went out to buy ingredients the next morning. However, she didn't find any trace of Lu Yunchen and had to return disappointed.
She was distracted several times while preparing the food in the morning, and her family members saw it all.
"Ran Ran, did you not sleep well last night? Otherwise, go get some sleep. Your elder brother and I are here, so it's okay."
They have already sent a registered letter to Huang Zhiye, asking his sister-in-law Wenying to come over as soon as possible.
"It's okay, I'm just a little sleepy, I'll be fine in a while."
Huang Xinran didn't mention the discovery of Lu Yunchen, but subconsciously glanced at Maomao again. Maomao was helping with Yaya, the brother and sister were washing potatoes. In order to increase the competitiveness, Huang Xinran added a few more ingredients, oyster mushrooms, lotus roots, cabbage stalks, eggs, and chicken feet, all of which were new additions she made today.
Because of this, everyone has more things to do.
Fortunately, although the two children are still young, they already know how to help adults.
Maomao noticed that his mother was looking at him.
The pair of eyes that looked very similar to Lu Yunchen's were looking at her, causing Huang Xinran to almost lose her composure and she quickly looked away.
Maybe she really didn't sleep well, so she saw the wrong person.
Several varieties were added today, but the overall number of skewers did not increase. In the afternoon, Huang Hongyi went to the open-air cinema alone to sell skewers, refusing Huang Xinran's invitation to follow him. Huang Xinran had no excuse to stay.
But soon, she was attracted by the customers who came to her door.
Huang Xinran doesn't need to worry about the skewers because her mother is there. The tailor shop receives one or two orders every three days. The cigarette business is not bad, but some popular cigarettes are out of stock. It depends on the situation. I have to go to stock up tomorrow.
As for An Lan, she didn't know if there was any follow-up on the arrest of the human trafficker, so she had to go and check it out.
There are so many things to do!
Huang Xinran frowned. She had never intended to find herself in such a busy situation.
But when I think about it, I will be able to get away from the busyness very soon, while mom and others have to repeat the same days all the time. All in all, I feel that I am much happier than them.
She exhaled.
Sure enough, because she chose to increase the variety of ingredients, today's shaved skewers were sold out again.
Although everyone was very happy, the initial enthusiasm had passed and everyone gradually returned to rationality.
When Huang Xinran mentioned going to shop tomorrow, no one objected.
Therefore, the next day, Huang Xinran did not go directly to pick up the goods. Instead, he went directly to the Public Security Bureau to find An Lan. As expected, he saw him and learned from An Lan that the colleagues who were searching for the escaped dealers had withdrawn and the search had come to an end. Most of the dealers were still on the run, including Zhang Guanhua, whom Huang Xinran had been thinking about!
Huang Xinran was very disappointed, but there was nothing she could do.
After getting the goods, she returned to the store in disappointment, only to find someone already waiting for her in the store.
Liang Wei came, and with him came two middle-aged men who looked very shrewd.
"Of course, I'm sorry."
Liang Wei looked at her apologetically: "Someone wants to see you."
Huang Xinran's eyes fell on the two people beside her: "What do you want to see me about?" Could it be that they were dissatisfied with the price of the abandoned store and were now looking for trouble with her? Or maybe they found out that this store, which was very close to No. 3 Middle School, was going to be demolished, so they were reluctant to sell it to her?
"My old man wants to see you."
One of the middle-aged men spoke up: "We'll have to trouble Miss Huang to go there again."
"I'm afraid not. The store is very busy and I can't get away."
"Don't worry, it won't take too long. When the matter is settled, we will take you back by car. At the same time, we will also compensate you for your losses."
Is this a question of whether to send her back or not?
Huang Xinran raised an eyebrow.
Seeing Liang Wei lowering his head and looking listless, it seemed that he couldn't escape this matter, so she simply agreed: "Okay, in this case, let's go now?"
"Ms. Huang, please."
The two of them extended their hands in a gesture of invitation.
Liang Wei was extremely hesitant to speak. It was not until everyone got into the car that he spoke hesitantly: "Of course, I'm sorry. I didn't talk about anything that would cause you trouble."
"You don't want to do this, right? If that's the case, then there's nothing to say."
Huang Xinran secretly made preparations. If the Liang family really came for the two shops and thought they were too cheap, she could just give them a little more money. Of course, returning the shops they had already acquired was out of the question.
After making up his mind, Huang Xinran calmed down.
However, she didn't expect that after she really met the old man of the Liang family, she realized that he didn't come for the store at all, but for the fruit in her hand.
The old man of the Liang family looked very energetic and looked 80% similar to Liang Wei.
"Don't be afraid, little girl. Come and sit down."
He asked Huang Xinran to sit down and smiled warmly: "I have heard Ah Wei talk about you many times before, but I didn't expect that after meeting you today, I realized that you are even better than what Ah Wei described."
"Master, what did Young Master Liang say about me?"
"He praised you very much."
The old man laughed loudly, as if he remembered something, with an indulgent smile on his face, "To be honest, my Liang family has only a few grandchildren since Awei's generation. Awei is the oldest and my favorite."
Fortunately Liang Wei is not here, otherwise he would definitely refute him.
In fact, although Liang Wei was favored, the family tradition of the Liang family was there, and it was far from the point of doting on children and grandchildren. Liang Wei was taken care of more than spoiled.
The two shops that Liang Wei sold to Huang Xinran were actually obtained by him. They were fixed resources for every descendant of the Liang family to practice their skills. Liang Wei chose those shops, and in the eyes of his grandfather, he suffered a great loss.
Fortunately, he did not stop it. Children need to suffer some losses and be deceived in order to grow up.
Considering the wealth of the Liang family, this small loss is not a big deal to him.
