The vegetable vendor looked at Ma Yulian with puzzlement, feeling that she was a strange person, as if she looked down on Boss Li and couldn't stand to see him doing well.
He turned to Li Junsheng and said, "Mr. Li, is this someone you know?"
Li Junsheng glanced at Ma Yulian, his eyes filled with disgust.
"I don't know him. He seems a bit mentally unstable. Let's go, I'll pay your bill."
Li Junsheng took the vegetable vendor to settle the bill. It wasn't until they reached the cashier that Ma Yulian finally snapped out of her daze.
The fact that such a large restaurant as Li's Home-Style Cuisine was owned by Li Junsheng was a huge shock to Ma Yulian.
She couldn't help but rack her brains, and no matter how she thought about it, it seemed impossible!
"How is that possible? Where did Li Junsheng get the money to open a shop and decorate the restaurant so nicely?"
Ma Yulian was somewhat devastated. Over the years, she had been holding onto her money tightly. She had thought that after Li Junsheng divorced her, she would face financial hardship and need her children's support.
But can someone explain to her why Li Junsheng's life has become better?
"Could it be that his children pooled their money to open the restaurant for him?"
Ma Yulian looked at Li Chunya, Li Xiaoyu, and Ji Xiaocui.
With just one glance, Ma Yulian immediately dispelled this notion in her mind.
Because over the years, Li Chunya has never been able to get any money from her parents' home and therefore cannot help Li Junsheng!
Li Xiaoyu was the same; apart from the two hundred yuan or so she handed over all her other wages to herself, so she definitely didn't have much money left.
Another one is the second son and his wife. They couldn't even afford rent before, and they didn't have money to treat their child when he was sick. They definitely didn't have any spare money to support Li Junsheng in opening a shop!
Even if they pooled all the two hundred-plus yuan that Li Junsheng gave them, it wouldn't be enough to open such a big restaurant.
For a time, how exactly Li Junsheng opened the restaurant became a mystery to Ma Yulian!
She even considered the possibility that Li Junsheng might have borrowed money to open the restaurant.
Regardless of whether Li Junsheng opened the restaurant with borrowed money or not, Ma Yulian is now starting to regret it!
She stood in the middle of the hotel, muttering to herself like a madwoman.
"If only I hadn't rushed into divorcing him! If I could have gotten my hands on this restaurant, wouldn't I, Ma Yulian, be rich!"
Ma Yulian felt increasingly uneasy, especially seeing how well the restaurant's decor and business were doing.
If I hadn't gotten a divorce, I would be the owner of this restaurant now!
What was Li Junsheng thinking? Opening such a big restaurant all of a sudden, is this guy wary of me?
They were going to do something so big, and they didn't even tell me beforehand.
Ma Yulian sighed, suddenly feeling a pang of sadness.
After the divorce, Li Junsheng's life got better and better, while he could only take care of Chen Dazhu, who was bedridden, had no legs, and could only spend money instead of earning it!
Even the eldest son couldn't get a share of the profits from Li Junsheng, and was even kicked out of the house by Li Junsheng.
They had no choice but to bring their families and move into Chen Dazhu's house, which quickly became extremely noisy and crowded.
The romantic world that Ma Yulian and Chen Dazhu had imagined for each other didn't exist at all!
Ma Yulian was glad that she had hidden some money in her pocket when she left Li Junsheng's house.
Li Chunya and Li Xiaoyu were unaware of the situation and gave her clothes and their own savings; otherwise, Ma Yulian would be begging on the streets to survive now.
Li Junsheng paid the vegetable vendor for the vegetables and personally escorted him out of the restaurant. When he saw Ma Yulian still standing there like a pillar, he ignored her and went straight into the kitchen!
Ma Yulian watched his retreating figure, hesitated for a moment, but still wanted to go up and say something nice to Li Junsheng.
Let's see if he can still remember our past relationship and remarry me, or even let me come to the restaurant to replace Li Chunya's job!
Having managed the household affairs for so many years, I can calculate accounts much faster and better than Li Chunya.
How could Li Chunya possibly understand these calculations!
Thinking this, Ma Yulian went to the kitchen door and said to Li Junsheng through the curtain, "Old Li, can we sit down and have a proper talk?"
Li Junsheng didn't even raise his head, only sneering inwardly!
Ma Yulian is indeed a snob. Now that I've opened a restaurant, she wants to lower herself and come over to scheme for my assets.
"These are the dishes you ordered, they're packed up, go pay for them yourself, don't even think about getting a free meal!"
Li Junsheng packed up the food Ma Yulian had ordered and gave it to her, then unceremoniously told her to pay for it.
He believed that Ma Yulian was capable of freeloading, after all, she was shameless!
Ma Yulian accepted the food, but unexpectedly Li Junsheng wanted her to pay. Her face turned ugly, and she was about to say something nice to Li Junsheng.
But Li Junsheng turned around and started chopping vegetables. The cleaver clanged against the cutting board, and even when Ma Yulian spoke, Li Junsheng could hardly hear her!
Ma Yulian immediately understood that he didn't want to listen to her and wasn't giving her a chance to speak at all.
Thinking back to the past, Li Junsheng would have to keep his tail between his legs and not dare to give me a hard time with just a glance!
Looking at the situation now, the contrast between before and after is obvious, and Ma Yulian's face couldn't help but turn ugly.
Taking a deep breath, Ma Yulian decided to hold back for now; there was no rushing into saying nice things to Li Junsheng!
Li Junsheng and his children are still angry with me, so I absolutely cannot be as domineering as before.
Let's wait until after the restaurant, when Li Junsheng and the others are less busy, and then come over and play the victim to see if we can remarry!
Ma Yulian thought to herself that she had only been divorced from Li Junsheng for a few days, and he might still have feelings for her. If she could just admit her mistake to him, remarriage wasn't out of the question.
Thinking this, Ma Yulian asked Li Chunya for the money for the meal, which surprised Li Chunya.
She thought Ma Yulian would freeload, but to her surprise, Ma Yulian actually paid her. Did the sun rise in the west?
Li Chunya paused, then cautiously examined the money Ma Yulian had given him over and over again, trying to see if it was counterfeit!
Ma Yulian didn't know how Li Chunya viewed her. She gritted her teeth and returned to the ward, facing Chen Dazhu, who was unable to take care of himself.
When Chen Dazhu saw Ma Yulian turn around, he asked with a hint of displeasure, "Why did it take you so long to go downstairs to buy food? I'm starving."
Ma Yulian never kept secrets from Chen Dazhu. When he asked her about it, she frankly said, "I ran into Li Junsheng downstairs. Guess what he was doing around here!"
Chen Dazhu sneered and said irritably, "Could it be that he did too many bad things and got hit by a truck on the road?"
Ma Yulian shook her head and said through gritted teeth, "No, Li Junsheng actually opened a restaurant around here. I bought my food from him. I didn't believe he was the restaurant owner at first, but the vegetable vendors who delivered the vegetables called him Boss Li!"
"Not only that, he also put that brat Li Chunya in the restaurant to collect money, and Li Xiaoyu and the second son's wife are also helping out in the restaurant. Business seems to be doing quite well."
