Ling Jinyue rolled her eyes, "Are you blind? This is my store! Which eye of yours saw Xiaoqi? Stop blaming my sister-in-law for everything, okay?"
It's really annoying. She treats Xiao Qi as an imaginary enemy every day. It's obviously her and Wen Xi's hard work here. Isn't it rare for sister-in-law to come to the store? Why does she always talk about Xiao Qi? Is she sick in the brain and overthinking?
"That's right, when did our shop become Meng Qidi's?"
Wen Xi came down from upstairs. Xiao Qi didn't want to disclose the news of the investment, so she basically told the outside world that the store belonged to her and Jin Yue. As for Xiao Qi, she was only responsible for dividing the money.
Glancing at the man beside him, Wen Xi walked straight towards Jin Yue and said softly, "Leave this to me, you go to the back and cook."
"Well, be careful. If you can't beat them, call me. I have a kitchen knife." Ling Jinyue nodded slightly and turned away.
Nie Zheng...
As soon as Ling Jinyue left, Wen Xi looked at the two of them coldly with half an arm, and glanced at Ge Mei, "Miss Ge, the niece of the Meng family? I've heard of your name for a long time."
"You...you know me?"
Ge Mei didn't expect that the person who was so aggressive just now would suddenly become nice to her. He must be disgusted with Ling Jinyue, that country bumpkin.
"I know him. He used to be Zhao Youwei's little follower and jealous guy. I don't know how he turned into a child of the Meng family. Tsk..."
Wen Xi looked away in disdain and looked at the man next to her, "What's this gentleman's name?"
"Nie Zheng."
"Mr. Nie, this woman said she'd like to treat you to a meal, why not let her book the whole place? We don't have much else here, but we have a lot of variety."
Nie Zheng grinned, "Okay, I'm short on money lately, why don't you pick the most expensive and delicious ones? Miss Ge is a daughter of the Meng family, she shouldn't be so stingy, right?"
Wen Xi glanced at Ge Mei next to her and sneered, "It's hard to say whether she is stingy or not. It depends on whether she has the ability. There are as many as 30 or 40 kinds of products in our store. The most expensive one is 10 yuan for a roasted chicken, and the whole family bucket is 30 yuan..."
"Thirty? You're robbing me!"
Ge Mei's voice was sharp. She had returned to the Meng family, but that didn't mean she was rich, especially since the prices were really robbery. Thirty yuan in those days was equivalent to thousands of yuan in the future...
Wen Xi curled her lips, "You can choose not to eat. Why act so arrogant if you don't have money?"
"You!" Ge Mei breathed rapidly, looked around, and saw that everyone who was eating was looking at her. A trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She glared at the two of them and quickly walked out.
Wen Xi clapped his hands with a sneer, "You're lucky you ran away quickly. You were scared away by such a small amount of money. Don't you have any brains?"
Nie Zheng glanced upstairs and turned directly towards the stairs.
Wen Xi immediately reached out to pull him, "Hey, Mr. Nie, what are you doing?"
"Looking for Xiaoqi, she's upstairs."
"nonsense!"
Nie Zheng glanced at her calmly, "Then why are you so nervous?"
"That's my private territory. Why are you, a grown man, going up there?"
Nie Zheng glanced at the arm being held, "This is a man's arm, aren't you ashamed to be holding it as a woman?"
Wen Xi...
Nie Zheng pushed her hand away and went straight upstairs.
The second floor is more cozy than the first. Two girls are huddled together upstairs, seemingly reading a book.
Nie Zheng stopped at the stairs, "Xiao Qi."
Meng Qidi turned her head when she heard the voice and was not surprised to see Nie Zheng.
Zhou Jing glanced at the two of them, moved closer to Meng Qidi, and lowered her voice, "Xiao Qi, why did he come here?"
She remembered this person, the one who suggested changing the rules of the game during military training.
Meng Qidi shook her head.
"I want to talk to Xiaoqi alone. Can this classmate please step aside?"
Zhou Jing subconsciously wanted to shake her head. She wanted to help Ling Lian block all men. Xiao Qi belonged to Ling Lian!
Nie Zheng was not in a hurry. "Of course, if classmate Zhou wants to listen, it's fine. After all, I'm not an outsider, and Xiao Qi and I are..."
"But what?" Zhou Jing asked suspiciously.
There was a hint of displeasure in Meng Qidi's eyes. "He is older than me and calls me sister. Zhou Jing, go downstairs and find Wen Xi first. Let's talk for a few words."
Zhou Jing glanced at the two of them. Although she didn't want to give them a chance to be alone, she still got up and went down. She always felt that this man was unsafe...
As soon as Zhou Jing left, Meng Qidi knocked on the book and leaned back, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Aren't we just passing by here? I thought you might be here, so I wanted to catch up with you."
Meng Qidi chuckled, "Nie Zheng, we are so familiar with each other, why lie?"
Others may not know, but I’m afraid Nie Zheng and Ge Mei definitely know that something is wrong in this store. I just don’t know if they will associate it with her.
"That's right, we are one family so we shouldn't be so shy." Nie Zheng leaned back comfortably, "It's more comfortable here, with food and drinks. Xiaoqi, are you interested in cooperating?"
"What?" Meng Qidi was a little distracted. "What kind of cooperation do you want with an agricultural university?"
"Ge Mei has already acknowledged your relationship. From what I know, it was the Meng family that stole your identity."
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Meng Qidi picked up the milk tea on the table, lowered her eyes and took a sip, "But, Grandpa Meng accepted me as his granddaughter, which means I have surpassed her."
Meng Qidi refused to budge, but Nie Zheng was not discouraged. "Okay, you don't want revenge, but I can help you. Let's work together..."
"I don't want to work with you."
"You are too heartless, aren't you? After all, we are old acquaintances..." Nie Zheng was not discouraged at all. He smiled and said, "Aren't you curious about why I know your background?"
"Why?"
Meng Qidi looked at him with a half-smile, fearing that Ge Mei had told him everything about her in the book.
"Because someone told me that you..." Nie Zheng paused and looked up suddenly, "No, you already know. Yes, you must know."
"Know what?" Meng Qidi shook the cup. "I've already said that I'm not interested in my background. Whoever wants it can give it to them."
Meng Qidi's action undoubtedly meant that she acquiesced. But what if she knew? She had no intention of recognizing her relatives, and she didn't care about the Meng family.
Nie Zheng quickly calmed down from his shock, "Then you should go and get it back. It originally belonged to you. You can't give it to her even if you throw it in the trash can... Xiaoqi, let's work together. If you don't want to do it, I'll help you."
Meng Qidi raised her eyes, "Do you have a grudge against her?"
According to what she heard, Nie Zheng shouldn't have much hatred with Ge Mei, right? After all, she didn't marry Nie Zheng in the book world, and he seemed to be a fool...
She suddenly became curious about whether Nie Zheng had recovered in her previous life.
Nie Zheng sneered, a hint of sternness flashed across his eyes, "Does the hatred of stealing my wife count? If they hadn't plotted to have me marry him again and pushed me down the stairs, we would have been husband and wife a long time ago. Yes, it's too late to say anything now, but I haven't changed my mind about killing them, not to mention..."
"What's more?" Meng Qidi asked.
