As for why Liu Jin has become like this, guarding against her like a thief, Tang Xiaoling has forgotten that if she hadn't screamed in fright while sitting in the rocking chair, Liu Jin wouldn't have known she went to the west wing.
Now, in Tang Xiaoling's eyes, the capital city is really not a good place. Even Liujin has gone astray. Will Southwest also turn bad? Maybe she should persuade Southwest to go back to his hometown. What could be better than a warm bed with a wife and children?
When Cuihua returned, she immediately sensed something was wrong. Why was her room locked? And where were Beinan and his friend? Why was his room locked too?
Just as I was thinking about Bei Nan, she returned. A Tie's face was also full of excitement. It turned out that the two of them had gone to investigate the market. What they wanted to do now was to open a restaurant, just like the one in Hua Cheng. They would wait for Nan Nan to come back in the evening to discuss it with her. That girl has a lot of clever ideas.
After washing her hands, Bei Nan wanted to go back to her room, but a large lock had locked the door. Just as Bei Nan was about to ask, Liu Jin came out carrying Fu Bao and carefully closed the door behind her.
Cuihua took Fubao and asked Liujin, "Bao, did you hang the lock?"
Liu Jin nodded: "Grandma, that second aunt went into the west wing and rummaged through things, but I chased her out. I was afraid something would be stolen, so I locked the whole room."
Cuihua was startled. There were several thousand yuan in the closet in her room. She quickly asked Liujin for the key, opened the door, and went in. After closing the door, she opened the closet directly.
As soon as she opened the cabinet door, Cuihua's face darkened. Her clothes had been neatly arranged, but now they had clearly been disturbed, and even the order was wrong.
There was a box behind the clothes. Cuihua took it out. There was a small lock on the box. Cuihua took out the key and unlocked it. The money and tickets inside were all there and nothing was missing. She breathed a long sigh of relief and put the things back in their place.
Entering the studio, Cuihua was most concerned about the peony embroidery. It was a masterpiece that her master had brought for her to learn from. Every time she viewed it, she would wear gloves to touch it, because the silk was too delicate. If she accidentally pulled a thread, the work would be greatly diminished.
I usually cover my work with a cloth, but these past two days, when my master came, I didn't cover it so she could appreciate my work. I quickly covered it with another piece of silk before closing the door and leaving.
Bei Nan took the key and opened the door. Her suitcase was in the cabinet, and there was quite a lot of money inside. However, the suitcase had a combination lock, so Bei Nan wasn't worried.
Grandma Yan had already heard Liu Jin's complaint, and her heart skipped a beat. Her mind started working. When Cuihua and Bei Nan came out, she quickly waved them over. After learning that there had been no loss, she told Cuihua to tell Liu Jin that no one should be told about this, especially Xinan.
When Liu Jin heard that Cuihua was going to help her second aunt keep it a secret, he was indignant. Why couldn't she tell?
Cuihua sighed and said, "My dear, your second aunt was just looking at your grandma's room. She didn't steal anything. Grandma looked and nothing was missing. If you tell her, your second uncle will be unhappy and the two of them will quarrel. The New Year is coming soon, and they will leave after the New Year. Do you think you should tell her?"
Liu Jin thought for a moment and asked, "Grandma, what if I don't tell her, but Second Aunt tells her herself?"
"Your second aunt wouldn't be that stupid, would she? Would you say that if you were her?" Cuihua laughed.
Liu Jin tilted his head and thought about it. It was true. Who would do something bad and then go around telling everyone? Would they be stupid?
Xuemei heard everything clearly from the kitchen and became wary of her sister-in-law, thinking to herself, "This Tang Xiaoling wasn't like this before."
Tang Xiaoling heard everything clearly from her room. She knew her mother was admonishing her, and she felt relieved that the matter was over. She slapped herself, reminding herself that she could never do such a thing again.
People gradually returned, with Yan Xiaoqiang and Dongnan being the last to arrive. Upon seeing Yan Aidang, they asked, "Aidang, your parents haven't come over for several days. What are they doing?"
Yan Aidang smiled mysteriously: "They won't be available to come until next week; it's the end of the year and everyone has to report on their work."
Yan Xiaoqiang didn't understand what reporting work meant, but he nodded. No job is free; you have to do the work.
With the help of Cuihua, Xuemei, Tang Xiaoling, and Tang's mother, the kitchen was much faster. Yan Xiaonan, along with Liujin and Wujinban, set out the bowls and chopsticks, while Yan Aidang took out the wine he had swindled from his best friend. The happy dinner began.
When Bei Nan mentioned that he wanted to open a restaurant in the capital and asked for everyone's opinion, Yan Xiaoqiang and Cuihua didn't understand, Grandma Yan shook her head, and Dongnan and Xinan had no idea. Yan Aidang hesitated, and Fu Qingping and Ye Huixian didn't know how to answer.
Especially Ye Huixian, Tie Ge's eyes almost lit up when he looked at her. Fu Qingping shook his head with a smile. The old man had already sent someone to investigate. If the result was good, Ye Huixian would also agree to accept Tie Ge's proposal.
Tie Ge expressed his feelings three times a day, recounting his entire past. If every word Tie Ge said was true, then Ye Huixian already knew about 80% of Tie Ge's character.
Bei Nan actually only wanted to ask Yan Xiaonan; everyone else could be ignored. But for the sake of family harmony, she still went around in circles: "Nan Nan, do you think we should open a restaurant?"
Yan Xiaonan tilted his head, thinking about his past life and the hobbies of those rich and powerful young masters: "Third brother, in the current situation in the capital, opening a restaurant is not suitable. It is very different from Huacheng. Here, the focus is on the cultural heritage. Why don't you turn the restaurant into a club and open one?"
Bei Nan jumped up. A club, the place where nouveau riche like to put on airs and show off, and the place where people with real substance like to hang out. Fantastic! How could Nan Nan be so wise?
Seeing Bei Nan's admiring gaze, Yan Xiaonan felt ashamed. If it weren't for her past life, who would know what kind of place the club was?
As expected, apart from Bei Nan, only Fu Qingping and Ye Huixian seemed to understand. Everyone else thought Nan Nan was referring to the meeting place. Yan Xiaoqiang even shook his head, saying, "How can a meeting place make money? She must be a fairy, thinking she's holding a peach banquet in heaven."
"Nan Nan, can you partner with Third Brother? No, I mean, can you share with him?" Bei Nan asked excitedly.
"Third Brother, your sister is currently short of funds and doesn't have the money to partner with you," Nan Nan said with some regret.
"Nan Nan, I don't need you to put up any money, just your brains and management skills, and I'll give you 50% of the shares, how about that?" Bei Nan was like a wolf in sheep's clothing, tempting Yan Xiao Nan.
Yan Xiaonan thought for a moment and shook her head: "Third brother, I'm a girl, this club isn't suitable for me. Why don't you go find Ye Chenming? He's off tomorrow and will come over."
