After Li Cheng said the above words, he just played with the teacup in his hand.
The texture of the teacup was very delicate, not the usual common stuff. Li Cheng could tell from this that Du Xue was very serious about her work, or even paranoid.
I'm afraid of people who are too serious about what they do! Once they've made up their minds, they won't easily turn back.
Du Xue had actually heard of Li Cheng a long time ago. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen Li Cheng smiling even as he drove away her guests and uttered those cruel, underworld words.
Zhang Dahe kept nagging Du Xue about Li Cheng all day, making her feel that Li Cheng was no stranger to her. In addition, Li Cheng and his friends often came here to eat. Although Du Xue had never spoken to Li Cheng, she felt that Li Cheng was not a stranger and that he was very close to her.
Moreover, Li Cheng looked harmless. Therefore, no matter how harsh his words were, Du Xue did not see any malicious intent in them.
This way, Li Cheng couldn't scare her. But Meng Jianghong felt a little angry when she saw her smiling face.
Meng Jianghong thought to herself, we are talking to you about serious matters, why are you always smiling like this?
Then, Meng Jianghong's face changed and she said, "Du Xue, you know I'm Zhang Dahe's leader, so you should know why we're here today, right?"
Du Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you come here often? Is there something else you're here for today?"
Meng Jianghong knew she was pretending to be confused, so she said with a stern face, "Which of the two things Li Cheng just mentioned do you want to choose?"
Du Xue said, "That's it. If I agree to your terms, you will continue to take care of my business as before. If I don't agree, Li Cheng will chase away everyone who comes to eat here, just like he did just now, and my business will be shut down."
At this point, Du Xue looked at Li Cheng, and then said, "For me, this is one thing. For you, it's two things: continue to come to eat, or destroy my job."
After listening to her, Li Cheng thought to himself that ugly people are often evil. Although Du Xue is not pretty, she is very smart.
Meng Jianghong looked at Li Cheng, meaning, is what Du Xue said right?
Li Cheng just nodded when Du Xue suddenly said, "Excuse me, which one of you did I offend? Why do you treat me like this?"
Meng Jianghong looked at Li Cheng and thought to herself, you should be the villain!
Li Cheng looked at Du Xue. Because of the close distance, the fine lines at the corners of Du Xue's eyes were clearly visible.
Li Chengxin said that being a dozen years older was not a big problem, but the problem was that Du Xue already had a husband, which was too unfair to Zhang Dahe.
"Du Xue, we met once in the provincial capital, right? Da He took me to your restaurant for dinner that time. Do you remember?"
Du Xue nodded.
She still remembered what happened half a year ago, which meant that Zhang Dahe had already been in contact with her at that time.
But what could he do after knowing all this? Du Xue had opened a restaurant here, and it was not long after Zhang Dahe returned to work at the branch. This made Li Cheng feel that this matter was not as easy to handle as he had thought.
When the relationship between the two is at its most affectionate, strong sunlight is needed to separate the soil and water in the mud.
Li Cheng felt that he was this light.
"That day, I thought the food you cooked was delicious, especially the bowl of seafood dumpling soup at the end. It left a deep impression on me."
"My business was booming back then, and the meals you ate were all made by the chef and me personally. Unlike now, I can only find a newbie and teach him step by step."
Li Cheng said "Oh" and thought to himself, "So that's how it is. Du Xue would rather her business be bad than not come here. She must have Zhang Dahe in her corner!"
The difficulty increased, and Li Cheng was not completely sure that he could separate her and Zhang Dahe.
Just when Li Cheng was thinking about what to do, Du Xue suddenly said, "Tell me, what are the conditions?"
Li Cheng and Meng Jianghong were both stunned.
Afterwards, the two men looked at each other, and Li Chengji said, "You and Zhang Dahe are not suitable. I won't explain why, you know it yourself. So, as long as you stop associating with Zhang Dahe, you can continue your business as usual, and I promise that it will get better and better in the future.
Of course, if you insist on having your own way and insist on relying on Zhang Dahe, we can't do anything about it. But your restaurant might not have many people coming to eat there."
After Li Cheng finished speaking in one breath, he suddenly felt as if he had put down a heavy burden and felt much more relaxed.
Sigh! I really shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing! Not only does it offend people, it also tortures myself.
Looking at Du Xue again, after listening to Li Cheng's words, she lowered her head slightly, her fingers scratching on the table...
Once, once, once...
Li Cheng watched helplessly as she scratched the paint on the table, revealing the wood color, and then it turned red------
Meng Jianghong couldn't bear it anymore, so she grabbed her hand and took a napkin from the side to cover the bleeding finger.
Li Chengxin finished speaking, this little girl is too hot-tempered, this matter can only be considered in the long run.
While bandaging her nail, Meng Jianghong said, "If you have anything to say, just tell us. We'll help you if we can. Why are you fighting with the table? It would be ugly if your nail fell off..."
"Let Zhang Dahe come."
"What?"
"I say, let Zhang Dahe speak for himself. Why did he ask you guys to come here? You're meddling in other people's business."
At this time, Du Xue's face was covered with tears, and her voice was no longer as gentle as before, but became a little hysterical.
Seeing Du Xue's distorted face, Li Cheng felt that he had gotten into trouble today.
Li Cheng thought about it and felt that Zhang Dahe was the only one who could clean up the mess.
So, Li Cheng took out his cell phone and called him...
After the call was connected, Li Cheng asked him to come to the restaurant, but Zhang Dahe said on the other end: "Didn't you tell me not to go there? I won't go!"
Li Cheng had no choice but to say that he and Meng Jianghong were both here and had no money to pay the bill, but the proprietress would not let them leave.
Zhang Dahe couldn't be fooled by this. He said on the phone, "Li Cheng, don't lie to me. I know you and Sister Meng went to her place. How is it? Do you know how powerful she is?"
What could Li Cheng say? He only now realized that Zhang Dahe had long known that he and Meng Jianghong were coming here. Moreover, he might have even told Du Xue about his plans.
Li Cheng was a little annoyed, thinking, "These two are so determined, I don't believe it. I must separate you today. Otherwise, your mother will be furious to death."
"Zhang Dahe, you don't have to come."
After saying that, Li Cheng hung up the phone.
The call was made while Du Xue was watching. After hanging up, Li Cheng looked at her and said, "You have an eight-year-old daughter who is now living in the house allocated by Zhang Dahe..."
Before Li Cheng could finish, Du Xue suddenly shouted, "Li Cheng, what do you want to do? If you dare to touch my daughter, I will fight you..."
