Li Huan turned around and immediately smiled.
This woman is Sister Zhao, our neighbor next door.
She is three years older than Li Huan and also works in the catering industry, selling fried chicken at the night market.
Because of her good looks and great figure, Sister Zhao is known as the "Fried Chicken Beauty" by her customers.
"Sister Zhao, aren't you setting up your stall tonight?" Li Huan asked with a smile, putting down the bow and arrow in her hand.
"Sigh..." Sister Zhao sighed, "Don't even mention it, the night market has been shut down, they don't allow stalls anymore!"
Li Huan exclaimed in surprise, "Really? The night market has a lot of customers, and your business is booming. Why aren't you allowed to set up a stall anymore?"
Sister Zhao said helplessly, "It's affecting the city's appearance! Where have you been these past two days? I haven't seen you selling boxed lunches at your stall."
Li Huan asked, "Did you need something?"
Sister Zhao smiled and said, "There's something important I'd like to discuss with you..."
As she spoke, Sister Zhao stepped into the living room.
Sun Shangxiang was looking up at the square LED light on the ceiling.
Sister Zhao glanced at him and said with a smile, "Li Huan, you're quite something, you've got another girlfriend. She's pretty, and she likes anime and cosplay."
Sun Shangxiang snapped out of her daze and looked at Sister Zhao.
"Li Lang, who is she?"
Sister Zhao laughed loudly: "Hahaha, still calling you Li Lang, little sister, which dynasty did you travel from?"
Li Huan quickly grabbed Sun Shangxiang's hand and led her into the bedroom.
"Xiangmei, take a rest for a moment, I'll talk to the guests first."
Sun Shangxiang stared at the LCD TV and asked curiously, "What is this?"
Li Huan quickly picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, just in time to see the new version of the TV series "Three Kingdoms".
Instantly, it attracted Sun Shangxiang's attention.
Li Huan walked out of the bedroom and closed the door tightly.
Sister Zhao raised an eyebrow, her eyes gleaming: "Li Huan, you're keeping a mistress! To be honest, her looks and figure are far superior to your ex-girlfriend."
When Li Huan talked about his ex, his heart sank.
The reason for the breakup was that Li Huan was poor; he couldn't afford a house or a dowry of 200,000 yuan.
Moreover, Li Huan's father suffers from a chronic illness and requires long-term treatment and rehabilitation after surgery, which incurs considerable monthly expenses.
A three-year relationship crumbled in the face of reality and money.
Now, Li Huan has become an invisible millionaire, with 300,000 yuan in pocket money in his bank account, and the gold stored in the "God-level Lunch Box System" can be exchanged for at least 6.5 million yuan at any time.
Li Huan had no desire to contact his ex-girlfriend, regarding her as merely a fleeting passerby.
Sister Zhao sat on the tattered sofa, crossing her legs.
“I’ve found a storefront I like, located near an elementary school. It’s about 20 square meters. Let’s share it. I’ll sell fried chicken, and you can sell boxed lunches!”
Li Huan laughed and said, "Only twenty square meters? That's too small!"
Sister Zhao said, "We're not opening a restaurant, so why would we need something so big? The rent is six thousand a month, and the transfer fee is thirty thousand. Let's split it in half, do you think that's okay?"
Li Huan said, "How about this, you go to the pedestrian street and choose a better shop, no less than 200 square meters, and we'll rent it together. I'll sell boxed lunches, and you'll sell fried chicken."
Sister Zhao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and reached out to touch Li Huan's forehead.
Li Huan laughed and said, "What are you touching? I don't have a fever!"
Sister Zhao rolled her eyes: "Why are you talking nonsense if you don't have a fever!"
Li Huan said, "I haven't finished yet. I will personally cover all the rent. I will reserve a spot for you next to the entrance so you can sell fried chicken on your own."
Sister Zhao shook her head: "You're not just running a fever, you're acting crazy!"
Li Huan said, "My mind is very clear, and every word I said is true."
Sister Zhao said, "I'm talking to you about serious business. Can you be serious and stop joking?"
Li Huan said, "I'm very serious! We've always had a close relationship. You not only help me a lot, but your fried chicken is also super delicious! So, I'm asking you to choose a storefront and open a fast food restaurant!"
Sister Zhao's eyes widened: "You...you're not lying to me?"
Li Huan said with a smile, "I'm not your ex-boyfriend, why would I lie to you?"
Sister Zhao's ex-boyfriend cheated her out of more than 200,000 yuan to gamble, which she lost completely, and then he broke up with her and disappeared.
That night, Li Huan drank with the heartbroken Sister Zhao, who cried and vowed never to trust men again.
"If you were that scumbag, I'd chop off your paws!"
Sister Zhao said angrily, raising her hand as if to chop.
Li Huan's smile faded, and he said seriously, "I'm absolutely not joking with you. I recently received an investment and am preparing to make a big splash in the catering industry."
Sister Zhao looked directly into Li Huan's eyes, then looked towards the bedroom.
"Oh...I see, your girlfriend is a rich and beautiful woman from a wealthy family who invests in you!"
Li Huan said in a serious tone, "Do I look like a man who lives off a woman?"
Sister Zhao said, "It doesn't seem like it, but things are unpredictable, and men are unreliable; they can change their minds in an instant!"
Li Huan said, "Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Go look for a storefront tomorrow, and let me know as soon as you find a suitable one!"
Sister Zhao finally believed it and beamed with joy: "Okay, I'll definitely find a storefront that you'll be satisfied with! I'm not chatting anymore, so as not to interfere with your lovey-dovey time with your girlfriend!"
Sister Zhao deliberately raised an eyebrow and turned away.
Li Huan closed the door and let out a sigh of relief.
Bang!
A breaking sound came from inside the bedroom.
Li Huan rushed into the bedroom and found that the LCD TV screen was broken and there was a broken teacup on the floor.
Enraged, Sun Shangxiang grabbed the remote control and smashed it against the television.
Li Huan hurriedly asked, "Xiangmei, why are you angry?"
Sun Shangxiang angrily pointed at the television: "What is this? One of the women is impersonating me, and she actually fell in love with Liu Bei and married him!"
Li Huan burst into laughter after hearing this.
Obviously, the episode that just aired was episode 54 of the new version of the TV series "Three Kingdoms": Liu Bei marries Sun Shangxiang.
Lin Xinru plays Sun Shangxiang, who accompanies Wu Guotai to Ganlu Temple. She secretly observes Liu Bei, played by Yu Hewei, and is impressed with him. At a crucial moment, she plays the flute to express her willingness to marry Liu Bei.
Subsequently, Liu Bei married Sun Shangxiang. In the bridal chamber, he challenged Sun Shangxiang to a duel and ultimately defeated her with a broken sword, winning her heart and taking her as his bride.
"Hmph!" Sun Shangxiang sneered, "That man impersonating Liu Bei is not only ugly, but his swordsmanship is also too flashy. How could he possibly defeat me? It's outrageous!"
Actor Yu Hewei was caught in the crossfire.
Sun Shangxiang angrily said, "Li Lang! Grab that man and bring him here. I will personally fight him and take his head!"
Li Huan suppressed a laugh: "Xiangmei, this is acting, it's not real!"
"Acting?" Sun Shangxiang asked in surprise.
Li Huan explained: "When people in foreign lands are bored, they act out stories, which contain elements of fiction, so it is called acting."
To be considerate of Sun Shangxiang, Li Huan deliberately spoke in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
Sun Shangxiang said unhappily, "Even if it's an act, you can't distort the truth. How could I possibly be interested in Liu Bei and be willing to marry him!"
After saying that, Sun Shangxiang pulled a sharp dagger from her boot and walked towards the broken LCD TV!
Li Huan was shocked. "Damn it, Xiang Meizi actually hid a weapon."
"Liu Huangshu! Get out here!" Sun Shangxiang shouted at the television!
