He Zhou had nothing to say, so he could only stand there with his thin lips tightly pressed together.
At this moment, Zhu Qian was causing trouble for He Jing. She grabbed Qian Lizhen's arm and said, "Mom, let her go. I'm not bad-looking, and I can help you attract business."
Qian Lizhen didn't know what her daughter was thinking. Why didn't she stay at home and had to come here late at night to sell her face? She wasn't bad-looking, but how could she bear to let a group of men stare at her? She glanced at her son Zhu Rui, who was squatting to the side playing games, and gave him a light kick with impatience: "Quick, take your sister away."
Zhu Rui ignored him, completely absorbed in the game. He was kicked to the side, but he squatted down and continued playing.
Zhu Qian pleaded and begged, "Mom, please, I really can."
Qian Lizhen doted on this daughter since she was a child, and she had almost always given in to her requests and never refused her. Seeing her daughter's persistent and demanding attitude, she couldn't handle it and had no choice but to pass the buck: "Go find your father."
Zhu Qian went to find Zhu Qiang again, but Zhu Qiang coldly rebuked her: "Nonsense, go back to sleep."
Zhu Qian shrank back in fright, tears streaming down her face. She dared not say another word and silently stayed to the side.
But they didn't go back.
After 8 p.m., the number of customers at the food stalls gradually increased, and the Zhu family's business also picked up as usual.
He Jing was still sitting behind that lonely little round table, drinking orange juice. Zhu Qian glanced at her and immediately became furious. She walked towards her aggressively.
She said fiercely, "Get up!"
He Jing slowly put down her juice and lifted her eyelids slightly: "Hmm?"
Zhu Qian retorted unreasonably, "This was originally my spot."
"oh--"
So He Jing obediently got up, gave up her seat for her, and stood to the side.
Then, Zhu Qian couldn't wait to sit down.
Business is busy right now, and Qian Lizhen and Zhu Qiang don't have time to pay attention to her. As long as she helps the Zhu family attract business, she can prove that she is better than He Jing.
He Jing left immediately; she was just worried about not having a chance to go to Xiao Lin's food stall.
Zhu Qian poured out the glass of orange juice that He Jing had drunk from, wiped the rim of the glass with a tissue in disgust, poured herself a fresh glass, and then drank the orange juice elegantly and calmly, just like He Jing had done.
She thought to herself that she would definitely be able to attract more people than He Jing. Although He Jing was good-looking, she obviously didn't have the same temperament as her.
Before leaving the house, she wore her prettiest dress, applied her most expensive lipstick, and even the nails on the hand holding the orange juice were done two days ago.
However, just as she was confidently waiting for Zhu's snack stall to be packed with customers, Qian Lizhen suddenly yelled, "I'm going to die! Zhu Qian, you come here right now!"
Zhu Qian was startled and walked over slowly with dissatisfaction.
She looked at Qian Lizhen reproachfully, as if Qian Lizhen shouldn't have bothered her: "What's wrong, Mom?"
Qian Lizhen pulled her to her side, her anxious tone involuntarily tinged with reproach, and said, "We're busy right now, can't you stop causing trouble? Where's He Jing?"
Zhu Qian scanned the crowd but couldn't find He Jing. She turned back and said, "Mom, I just wanted to help..."
Qian Lizhen retorted, "The customers have all run away, what help are you going to offer?"
Zhu Qian pouted in disbelief: "How could that be!"
Qian Lizhen pulled her around and pointed ahead, saying, "Look."
As they walked across the street to the food stalls, customers came one after another past Xiao Lin's stall, but when they saw that the small round table was empty, they suddenly stopped and withdrew their feet.
