Chapter 268 You Can’t Hide Forever
Sang Ru felt that she needed to tell the girl that when Lord Cheng came last night, there was a lot of noise in the room and he must have heard everything.
She thought Cheng Gongjin would call out to stop, but not only did he not say anything, he also didn't leave. He just stood there in the yard, as if he came there specifically to eavesdrop.
After listening to Sang Ru's words, Yu Qinghuan recalled last night.
Those two acted like crazy last night.
It was no use for her to cry out for mercy, and she even suspected that last night was just a dream.
Her ears were burning hot, she lowered her eyes and continued to drink her soup, "It's okay, if he wants to listen, then let him listen."
This is Cheng Gongjin's residence, and people can listen even if they want to under her bed.
Sang Ru took a look at the soup and said, "This soup was made by Cheng Ge Lao last night. He said that the young lady was tired last night and wanted to replenish her body."
When Yu Qinghuan heard this, he almost choked, coughed a few times, and his face flushed.
Cheng Gongjin is really good at looking down on people!
She had wanted to drink another bowl, but now she couldn't drink any more. She turned to Sang Ru and said, "Find two sets of ordinary clothes. We'll pack them up and go out to see if there's a suitable storefront."
Sang Ru nodded and was about to leave when she thought of her daughter's romantic debt. "Girl, if we go out, will the one in the palace find out?"
If the person in the palace knew the girl's whereabouts, he would definitely come to look for her, and then the Cheng Mansion would definitely not be able to hide the girl.
Yu Qinghuan didn't care, "It's okay, I can't hide from him forever."
If it was a month ago, she would indeed be worried, but now that she is planning to open a restaurant, sooner or later she will not be able to hide it from the all-powerful Xiao Jinghe.
Maybe when the restaurant opens in the future, Xiao Jinghe can go there once or twice, which will be of great benefit to the restaurant's business.
After all, these men can protect her for a while, but not for a lifetime. The best way is to use their power while they still have the ability to build a tall building to shelter herself from wind and rain.
This is what she realized when she was with Cheng Gongjin these days.
...
Upon learning that Yu Qinghuan and his servant were going out, Butler Yang quickly sent someone to inform Cheng Gongjin. Cheng Gongjin did not stop them, but instead sent the big and small shadow guards to continue protecting them secretly.
The Cheng family's carriage was very low-key. If you didn't look at the sign hanging on the carriage, you couldn't tell who the family was.
The carriage drove slowly along the street for half an hour. After visiting several places, Sang Ru was sleepy and Yu Qinghuan didn't like any of them either.
Until she was hungry and thought of having a meal at Tingyun Tower where Cheng Gongjin had taken her, she found that Tingyun Tower, which was open to welcome guests yesterday, was closed today.
She asked Sang Ru to knock on the door and ask, and soon Sang Ru came back jogging.
"Miss, the owner is the only one left in the building. He said business is bad and he will be going back home in two days. He said you can come in if you want to eat, but the ingredients are scarce and the chef has run away. You can't order dishes, you can only eat what is available."
Yu Qinghuan was slightly stunned, then he understood. This location is next to Xifeng Tower. If he continues to keep the business open, not to mention business, he might even lose all the people.
Sang Ru: "Girl?"
Yu Qinghuan nodded, "Since you're here, come in."
After the two entered the restaurant, they found a table and sat down. After a while, a little girl who looked about eight or nine years old came with a tray and served them food.
The little girl has a rosy face and two dimples when she smiles, which makes her very cute.
Sang Ru liked her at first sight, and even thought in her mind, would her future child be as pretty as her?
She immediately went forward to help and brought the food to the table.
The little girl grinned, "Thank you, sister."
The voice was so sweet that Sang Ruxin melted. She praised the girl next to her, "Girl, this little girl is so pretty."
Yu Qinghuan didn't expect to see a child in this restaurant. Just as she was about to speak, the little girl ran away.
After a while, two figures, one big and one small, came out from the kitchen, carrying the remaining two dishes.
Yu Qinghuan looked up, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
Sang Ru just said that the only person left in the building was the shopkeeper, so it must be the woman in front of him.
He looked to be in his early thirties, with eyebrows and eyes like distant mountains. He should have had a very handsome appearance, but there was a hideous scar on his face, running diagonally from his cheekbone to his jaw.
Yu Qinghuan's gaze stayed on her for a moment before moving away. She picked up the chopsticks and took two bites, and found that the taste was even better than the dishes she had eaten yesterday.
At this time, the shopkeeper delivered the dishes and brought over a pot of hot tea. The little girl next to him stood on tiptoe to help pass the teacup, which was very sensible.
Yu Qinghuan asked, "Did you cook all these dishes?"
The shopkeeper nodded slightly and said, "We don't have much food in the kitchen, so we can only cook these dishes. I hope you two guests don't mind."
Sang Ru, who was standing by, tasted it and her eyes showed surprise. She had eaten many delicious dishes with the girl, and this shopkeeper's cooking skills were even better than Chef Gao's!
Yu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Excuse me, but where are you going after closing the restaurant?"
The shopkeeper smiled faintly and glanced at his daughter playing with a sugar painting not far away. "I haven't decided yet."
She smiled bitterly. She had originally wanted to use her cooking skills to open a restaurant in the capital to gain a foothold, but the capital was full of dignitaries and she ran into obstacles everywhere. She was also targeted several times by the Xifeng Tower across the street.
Unfortunately, she signed a contract for a whole year in order to save money. Later, she wanted to cut her losses, but she had already spent most of her money on rent, so she could only grit her teeth and hold on until now.
If she continued to run the business, she was afraid she wouldn't even be able to support her daughter.
Seeing that she looked sad, she must be in trouble.
Yu Qinghuan didn't want to ask, but knowing that Tingyun Tower was going to close, she had the idea of taking over the place and continuing to run a restaurant, saving the money and manpower for the initial decoration.
It would be even better if the cook was also available...
Sang Ru knew Yu Qinghuan and knew that she must be interested in this at the moment, maybe even the former shopkeeper was interested in it.
She was just about to speak up on her daughter's behalf when Yu Qinghuan spoke up first, "Actually, I want to open a restaurant. I've been looking around a lot of places today and I think your place is the best. It would also be convenient for running a restaurant, so I'd like to take over."
The shopkeeper was slightly stunned and looked at the two of them. Judging from the materials and jewelry they were wearing, they did not seem to be from a wealthy family, especially this one, who was pregnant.
She suddenly remembered herself back then, bringing her child to the capital city in search of a way out, but ended up...
She felt bad and didn't want to see others follow in her footsteps, so she spoke up, "Business in the capital is not easy. Without the support of powerful people, it will be difficult to cope. Madam, you must think carefully."
