"Mr. Li, where have you been so early in the morning?"
A-Ping spoke first to Li Junsheng, since she had agreed to design a scheme against him, she couldn't be too distant from him.
Li Junsheng smiled energetically and said, "I'm going downstairs to exercise and go for a run. It's good for your health. Are you getting used to staying at my house?"
"Fortunately, everyone is very kind to me."
Seeing that A-Ping was comfortable with the place, Li Junsheng had nothing more to say.
He went to wash up and prepare to go to the restaurant for breakfast.
"By the way, Guohua, did you finish what I asked you to do yesterday?"
A-Ping didn't know exactly what Li Junsheng had instructed his second son to do, but she saw Li Guohua grin and say to Li Junsheng readily, "Don't worry, Dad, it's all taken care of. I guarantee those people will find a big surprise when they enter the store!"
Li Junsheng's family has a simple breakfast, usually rice porridge with sweet potato and corn, or noodles with a poached egg.
Today, I prepared sweet potato and millet porridge. Li Guohua also boiled eggs, one for each person.
Of course, Ah Ping is special because she is a guest, so she gets two eggs just like the three children in the family!
"Sister Ping, eat more, you need to have a good breakfast."
Li Xiaoyu told A Ping not to be polite. Looking at the two eggs in front of her, A Ping felt a growing sense of guilt.
This family has been so good to me, do I really have to resort to such unscrupulous means to harm them?
Aping ate her breakfast absentmindedly. Li Junsheng noticed that she looked strange and thought that she was not used to her own food or that life was getting better. He felt a lot of emotions.
In short, Li Junsheng didn't say anything more. After finishing breakfast and tidying up, he went to the restaurant with his children.
Today, Li Junsheng and his group had just arrived at the restaurant entrance when they heard a middle-aged female waitress from the Haoziwei Restaurant across the street shouting and cursing at the entrance!
Li Junsheng and his group listened carefully for a while before they could understand what the middle-aged waitress was cursing.
"Damn it, you bastard, the person who smashed our restaurant's pot, you deserve to die a horrible death! You sneaked into our restaurant in the middle of the night and smashed the bottom of the pot through."
After understanding what the older waitress was saying, Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but chuckle.
"Did I hear that right? Someone smashed a hole in the pot at the Delicious Flavors Restaurant? I wonder which hero stepped in to save the day!"
Li Guohua was also suppressing a laugh, but he felt a sense of satisfaction.
He deliberately shouted loudly, "This is what happens when some people do too many bad things and get their comeuppance!"
A-Ping looked at Li Guohua, knowing perfectly well that Li Guohua was probably the one who did it.
However, since the restaurant had no evidence, they could only let the waiters vent their anger by shouting at the door!
Li Chunya also noticed something unusual and whispered to her second brother, "Second brother, you didn't do this, did you? They just broke the water pipes in our restaurant yesterday, and today someone smashed the pots. It's too much of a coincidence."
When asked by his younger sister, Li Guohua did not deny it, but just smiled and gestured for her to be quiet!
Seeing Li Guohua's performance, everyone could understand what else was going on and could only say that Li Guohua had done a good job.
"Second brother, this is so satisfying! Tang Liang hasn't come today yet? The pot at the restaurant across the street is broken, so I bet a lot of customers will come to our restaurant."
Li Xiaoyu's words made sense, and Li Junsheng quickly added, "Let's open the restaurant doors and welcome our guests first."
The family got busy, and Tang Liang arrived a little later. When he got there, he saw the waiter standing there yelling and cursing.
He rushed into the shop, gloating, "Hey Xiaoyu, did you hear that? Someone smashed the pot at the restaurant across the street. Looks like they won't be able to do business today. They're cursing at the door!"
Li Xiaoyu put her hands on her hips and said coquettishly, "They broke the water pipes in our shop. Who do you think did that? Dad had my second brother do it secretly last night. Hurry up and get to the kitchen. There will definitely be a lot of customers today."
Just as Li Xiaoyu had predicted, there were indeed many customers in the store today, and the waiters were extremely busy!
Fortunately, no one made any mistakes.
Seeing that Li Junsheng's restaurant was packed with customers and doing brisk business today, the owner of the Haoziwei Restaurant across the street could only grit his teeth in anger.
During lunch, Tang Liang glanced at Li Junsheng several times, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Dad, the neighborhood committee and street office are showing a movie tonight. Can I take Xiaoyu to see a movie?"
"Go ahead, any of you can go if you want. I'm not interested in that stuff, so I won't go."
Hearing this, A-Ping knew that tonight was an opportunity.
The perfect time to strike was when he was alone with Li Junsheng, with no one to bother him!
"Ah Ping, are you coming with me?"
Li Xiaoyu turned to ask A Ping, who was still planning to take advantage of Li Junsheng that night, so how could she possibly go to the movies?
"I don't really want to go. I was so excited to have a place to stay yesterday that I couldn't sleep for a long time. I want to get some rest tonight!"
Li Xiaoyu nodded, not forcing A Ping, but instead turned to discuss going together with her brother, sister-in-law, and sister.
Li Guohua glanced at his wife, thinking about how they had been struggling financially before and hadn't even taken her to the movies, but now he had the leisure to do so.
I decided to take her with me.
Li Chunya thought that her two daughters would definitely love watching movies, so she smiled at Li Xiaoyu and said, "Great! I'll take Daya and Erya with me. They'll be so happy!"
Thinking about how my brother and sister-in-law were all watching the movie in pairs, while my dad was all alone, I felt a little sorry for him.
"Dad... speaking of which, you're capable now and not that old, have you considered finding another companion? So you won't be all alone."
For a moment, all the children looked at Li Junsheng, who shook his head repeatedly. "Please spare me, I have no intention of looking for anyone else. What if someone comes along who only wants to take my inheritance?"
"Oh, Dad means that if there's someone with good character, we can consider it, right?"
"Go away, I'm already fifty, what am I still looking for?"
Li Junsheng found it somewhat amusing that he looked so pathetic, insisting on finding himself a new companion. He still harbored resentment towards his marriage with Ma Yulian.
The children joked and laughed with Li Junsheng for a while, but when the movie was about to start, they went straight to see it, ignoring the shop!
Li Junsheng closed the shop and went home with A Ping.
Throughout the journey, A-Ping kept thinking about how to lure Li Junsheng into a trap!
After arriving home, Li Junsheng sat down to rest in the living room.
Ah Ping said softly to him, "Mr. Li, if there's nothing else, I'm going to wash up and rest. You should go to bed early too."
Li Junsheng also felt a bit awkward being alone with a woman in a room, so he nodded to A Ping and then looked straight ahead without glancing at her again.
Seeing this, A-Ping fetched a basin of warm water and went back to her room to wash up!
A-Ping thought to herself, the time to test Li Junsheng's character had come. A man and a woman alone in a room, if he wasn't a good person, he would have to come over soon.
If this guy dares to come, then I'll set him up in jail, and he won't be wronged!
Half an hour passed, and the water in the basin had gone cold, but Li Junsheng still didn't make a move!
Aping couldn't sit still any longer, so she decided to take the initiative.
"ah!"
Li Junsheng had no idea that A Ping was waiting for him to take the bait; he only heard A Ping scream.
