Zhu Rui dashed to Xiao Lin's food stall, but he was engrossed in a team battle on his phone and didn't even bother playing.
He Sui frantically pushed his way into the crowd, but halfway through, he remembered he had no money and turned back, craning his neck to look longingly.
He Zhou was astonished. His pupils dilated, and he stood motionless in place before looking at He Ning.
So that's why He Ning made him come!
He Jing...
This matter must be related to He Jing!
Who else but her could have such power to cause such a sensation!
It turns out that her casual remark had been taken to heart, and she was actually planning to ruin the Zhu family!
However, He Zhou was very unhappy when he thought that He Jing had only told He Ning about this, but not him. What was the point of her telling He Ning? He Ning wasn't good at cooking.
And I could offer her any help, even just a simple favor...
When Zhu Qiang, who was moving styrofoam boxes, saw this scene, his face instantly turned extremely ugly. What on earth happened to his business that had finally become a hit!
Zhu Qian was stunned. What was going on? Why had all the customers left? If the Zhu family couldn't make money, wouldn't she be unable to afford plastic surgery? How could she possibly be more beautiful than He Jing, even more like a celestial being?
Only He Ning remained calm as always, as if she had known all along that these things would happen; her beautiful and delicate features remained indifferent and aloof.
Qian Lizhen, unusually quick-witted, screamed, "He Jing, did you do this?!"
He Jing curled her red lips into a smile: "Auntie, what are you talking about? What did I do?"
Qian Lizhen glared at her fiercely: "Xiao Lin has been running the food stall for so long, but she hasn't made any progress. Even pigs wouldn't eat the food she makes. How come she suddenly attracts all the customers?"
He Jing tilted her head innocently: "Auntie, what are you talking about? I'm just an ordinary high school student."
He Ning: "..."
Qian Lizhen's chest heaved with anger: "I don't believe you for a second! I've known you're weird since day one!"
Not only does he speak strangely, but he also looks strange.
If she weren't so beautiful and able to attract business for the Zhu family, she wouldn't have kept her at the Zhu family's residence.
He Jing smiled and said, "Ah, my aunt found out."
Zhu Qian exploded, her almond-shaped eyes widening like a frog's: "He Jing, how dare you scheme behind my back!"
He Jing looked at her and said with a slight sarcasm, "Cousin is right. In this society, money is everything. The He family is so poor that it is not worthy of associating with such a rich relative as the Zhu family. So we can only make the Zhu family as poor as the He family. Wouldn't that make them worthy?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Lizhen lost all reason and lunged forward to scratch He Jing's face. He Ning stepped in front of He Jing at the right moment and said in a deep voice, "Auntie!"
Qian Lizhen, her eyes red, said, "Who is your aunt? Your He family is so poor they're practically dirt. In my eyes, you're not even worth as much as a dog. If you know what's good for you, quickly bring your guests back, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
He Ning pursed his thin lips, lowered his eyes, and slowly asked, "Is it because we're poor that Auntie has never treated us like her own nephews, and that the Zhu family and the He family have no affection for each other?"
Qian Lizhen sneered and spat out, "Pah, do you even deserve it?"
The light in He Ning's dark, lonely eyes gradually faded away.
He said, "Okay, I understand..."
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he didn't finish his sentence.
Qian Lizhen sensed something was wrong and immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
He Ning looked at her calmly and with pity: "I can't get involved in this matter. If you want to resolve it, you'll have to find He Jing."
