Jiang Manyue was afraid of causing another disturbance, so she decided to compromise.
After all, there's nothing wrong with going along with the old man's wishes.
At most, her ears will suffer a little more. Now that she is pregnant, Wu Hui is not so harsh in her discipline.
Sometimes Jiang Manyue would think about what would happen after the baby was born.
What will Wu Hui's attitude be towards her then?
"Yueyue, you have a very high level of awareness. It seems that what Mom said makes some sense. However, I hope that you can not only understand but also do it, and not just listen without doing it. That's not good, and it's also not good for the future education of the baby. I won't say anything more, or you'll get annoyed."
"Yes, yes, it's only right. We understand those principles, of course. It's our duty to expect us to do well." Jiang Manyue gave a dry laugh, knowing from her response that nothing good was coming.
After all that, I got a lecture again. I should have been more careful.
However, she learned her lesson this time, and next time, no matter what, she would never do anything inappropriate with Lu Fan outside of their room.
"Mom, don't be angry, we know. Yueyue's yoga class is about to start, I have to hurry up and go with her to practice, otherwise we'll miss the good time and it will delay the baby."
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lu Fan quickly came up with an excuse.
Seeing this, Wu Hui didn't say anything because of the baby's situation. She waved her hand, and the two left.
After saying that, she got up and went to the kitchen.
Upon seeing this, the young couple quickly fled the scene.
He rushed back to his room, looking exactly like someone whose secret had been exposed.
"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have gotten a scolding from my mom."
Jiang Manyue couldn't help but complain, though she meant no harm, given the considerable conflict between the two.
Jiang Manyue hadn't forgotten a single detail from before; she remembered them all deeply.
I constantly remind myself to hold back.
No matter what happens, you must not talk back to Wu Hui. This is the last battle, and she promised Lu Fan that.
"Mom meant well, thinking about the baby in your belly. But we did get a little carried away just now. Did we scare you?"
Hearing Jiang Manyue say that, Lu Fan felt somewhat displeased, but he didn't intend to say anything.
After all, he knows exactly what people think of him, both in public and in private.
"I'm not scared yet. Don't worry, the baby is safe in my belly."
After saying that, Jiang Manyue gently touched her belly, thinking how wonderful it would be to give birth to a little life.
——
In the following days, Lu Fan did not go to Ruila Cafe to grind again.
The person also vanished without a trace.
Now everyone who should be anxious, and everyone who shouldn't be, is anxious.
Zhou Wen was the first to become restless. Lu Fan was her last lifeline, but now he had inexplicably stopped coming.
Isn't this a clear indication that they have no ideas?
At first, I refused his request to take over the shop, but later I mentioned investing in it.
Zhou Wen thought that Lu Fan would probably agree for the sake of his interests.
Unexpectedly, not only did they not agree, they also disappeared without a word.
Zhou Ruan naturally noticed this as well, and took advantage of her lunch break to sit down and have a proper talk with her older sister about Lu Fan's investment.
"See? I told you, that guy is completely unreliable. He came for two days and then disappeared, saying he'd come every day if you didn't agree to let him take over the shop. Isn't that obviously just bullshit?"
Zhou Ruan immediately started saying all sorts of bad things about Lu Fan, and of course, what she said was true.
They agreed on everything at first, but changed their minds faster than anyone else.
In short, Zhou Ruan would seize any opportunity to speak, and since people shouldn't talk about things in front of others, she would just speak for them directly.
Zhou Wen was somewhat moved by what was said, but then she thought about it again and realized that Lu Fan wasn't that kind of person.
Moreover, let's stick to the facts; we can't scare him away just because of a suggestion to invest.
In Zhou Wen's opinion, Lu Fan hadn't thought things through yet; for others, investing in this matter would be a sure thing and a guaranteed profit.
But the situation is different for Lu Fan.
His purpose was not to invest in Ruila Cafe; what he wanted to gain was much more than what those investors had.
"We can't be sure of his intentions yet, and we can't just assume he won't come. He said he needs to go back and think about it carefully."
Zhou Ruan thought that this matter was unlikely to come to fruition because Lu Fan had broken his promise.
In her opinion, Lu Fan was just joking and probably never actually intended to take over the shop.
"Sister, let's stick to the facts. You trust him too much, and I've already backed down for your sake. It's impossible for me to trust him again."
Zhou Ruan couldn't help but sigh; she had no intention of trusting someone who didn't keep their word.
And if someone is truly sincere and wants to take over the shop, how can they just talk the talk?
This sincerity must be shown and made visible to others.
That being said, Zhou Wen didn't know what she was expecting.
She had a feeling that Lu Fan was not such a simple person.
There must be some other reason why he hasn't come to the store these past few days, or perhaps it was intentional.
"Let's not discuss this for now. I have something more important to tell you. I've investigated those men and they are indeed under that Gu guy's command."
“I’ve been observing them for the past few days; they’ve been lingering on the other side of the street. They only leave after closing time. I think if the money isn’t returned soon, they might really do something outrageous.”
Zhou Wen was also very worried.
After all, this matter involves personal safety.
The most important problem is that Lu Fan isn't coming to the store now, so she can't take the initiative to invite him.
That would be too embarrassing.
If the person surnamed Gu doesn't repay the money, things might get out of hand.
"Oh no, sis, what are we going to do? If we don't pay back the money, he'll definitely make things difficult for us. I've been trying to raise some money lately, it's not much, but it's still some. Let's use it to tide us over for now."
Zhou Ruan has been very worried these past few days, fearing that something bad might happen and things could get out of control.
“What you have is not enough at all, and they said they want the full amount paid in one lump sum. I’m trying to scrape together what I can, and I think I should go see that guy surnamed Gu and see if I can get a few more days off.”
"Sis, knowing his temper, if you go to talk to him alone, something bad might happen. Plus, he owes money, I'm really worried. Otherwise, I'll go with you."
