"She came from Princess Fuyang's residence. She left with a worried look on her face, but came back with a big smile. I bet she's come up with some wicked idea."
Gu Nanjiao stopped, turned her head and looked at Zhou Yu with a half-smile: "You know her whereabouts so well, could it be that you've been following her?"
"Of course! I'm afraid she'll retaliate against me, so what's wrong with being prepared?" Zhou Yu said casually, taking a number plate from Gu Nanjiao's hand. "I don't have Zhou Wan's cunning, but I still have to be careful around her. You don't know, my older sister is very shrewd. You'd better watch out."
After saying that, she waved the number plate in her hand and laughed freely: "This young lady will cut in line and try the delicious food at Meiwuzhai. Lvfu, let's go in."
Zhou Yu pulled Lü Fu and rushed in, causing a stir in the crowd. People in the queue behind were already shouting, "Third Miss is so arrogant and domineering, cutting in line like that. Manager, aren't you going to do anything about it?"
"That's right, if she were even half as gentle and kind as the Crown Prince's concubine, she wouldn't have done this. We've been waiting in line for ages, and she just cut in line like that."
Gu Nanjiao gave a professional smile and spread her hands to reassure everyone: "Please be patient, everyone. I'll go get the number plates back right away. Whoever gets their turn gets their turn. The rules of Meiweizhai cannot be broken, and no one can cut in line."
Seeing this, everyone nodded in satisfaction.
A moment later, Zhou Yuhan emerged from Meiwuzhai with a cold expression.
She never wanted to be friends with Gu Nanjiao again. What kind of person was she? She had to wait in line to eat at Gu's shop. She should have known better than to rent the restaurant to her at such a low price. What a traitor!
Gu Nanjiao came out carrying a food box, handed the number plate that Zhou Yu had snatched to the customers at the next table, and instructed the waiter to lead the customers to their table.
She caught up with Zhou Wan in a few quick steps, handed her the food box, and teased her, "Are you angry?"
Zhou Yu snorted coldly, turned her head, crossed her arms, and ignored Gu Nanjiao.
Lu Fu tactfully accepted the food box. Gu Nanjiao leaned closer to Zhou Yu and whispered, "Weiweizhai's rules cannot be broken. If you cut in line, everyone behind you will cut in line. To express my apology, I've packed some of Weiweizhai's specialty dishes in the food box. You can take them home and eat them too."
"That's more like it!" Zhou Yu rolled her eyes arrogantly, then looked at the food box with shining eyes: "What delicious food did you pack for me?"
Gu Nanjiao smiled mysteriously: "This is a good thing, a specialty of Meiwuzhai. Take it home and eat it secretly, but don't let anyone see it."
Zhou Yu was quite curious. What kind of delicious food was it? And why should she take it home to eat secretly?
She was in a hurry to get home, so she waved to Gu Nanjiao and said, "Then I'll head back first. You're a pretty loyal friend, so I'm not angry with you anymore."
Because Meiwuzhai was so popular, Zhou Yu's carriage stopped at the intersection of the main street, so she had to carry the food box and hurry to the main street.
Green Plum asked respectfully, "Miss, please let me carry the food box so you won't get tired."
After waiting for a while without any response, Lvfu looked up and saw that her young lady had raised the food box high and was sniffing it.
Zhou Yu frowned, looking at the food box with disgust. "Why does it smell so bad to me? Did Gu Nanjiao put cow dung in there?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu was furious. How dare Gu Nanjiao tease her!
Lv Fu shook her head: "Manager Gu is not that kind of person. She said that this is a specialty of Meiwuzhai. Since it is a unique product, its smell must be extraordinary."
"That makes sense!" Zhou Yu nodded, seemingly understanding, and then opened the lid.
A unique stench swept over, and strangely enough, Zhou Yu didn't find the smell offensive. She looked around and, seeing that no one was watching her, couldn't help but lean into the food box and take a deep breath.
Why is this stench so appealing?
She actually wanted to eat it, but… such a smelly thing was really incompatible with her image as a young lady. What should she do? Eat it or not?
She swallowed hard and handed the food box to Lv Fu: "It's yours. I don't eat such smelly stuff."
After saying that, he strode forward.
Zhou Yu was so focused on walking that she didn't notice the person coming from the front that she bumped into them.
"Can't you watch where you're going? How dare you bump into me! Believe me or not..." Zhou Yu covered her sore nose, furious. But when she saw the white-clad man in front of her, she was stunned.
What kind of face is this?
With a face as white as jade and a slender figure, a white jade folding fan accentuated his dashing and debonair appearance. In particular, his narrow, fox-like eyes seemed to have hooks, capable of captivating anyone with just one glance.
Zhou Yu rubbed her nose, putting on a pitiful look: "Young master, you bumped into me! It hurts!"
Bai Luochen swiftly opened his jade fan, his peach blossom eyes narrowing upwards: "You were the one who bumped into me first, how can you make baseless accusations? It was me who bumped into you!"
What?
This man has such a handsome face, how could he say such hurtful things? What do you mean she hit him first?
It was his hard chest that nearly made her nose bleed when it bumped into her.
What an uncouth man!
Bai Luochen walked past the stunned Zhou Yu and left without even giving him a second glance.
He wanted to go to Meiwuzhai to eat stinky mandarin fish and snail rice noodles, so he asked Bai Su to queue up early in the morning. But the kid was only interested in talking about love and completely forgot about it.
Luckily, he had a good temper and was only fined half a year's salary. If it were any other master, he would have been fired long ago.
"Hey, you in white up there, stop right there!" Zhou Yu shouted arrogantly at Bai Luoshen, hands on her hips. "You think you can just walk away after hitting someone? Apologize to me, or you'll regret it."
Bai Luochen paused, then turned and teased, "You should be apologizing to me! You bumped into me first."
"I'm apologizing to you?" Zhou Yuteng pointed a finger at his nose. "Do you know who I am? Minister Zhou is my grandfather, and Consort Yue is my aunt..."
The Zhou family, it's the Zhou family again!
Bai Luochen's face suddenly turned extremely cold, and his eyes were like ice-cold knives when he looked at Zhou Yu, causing Zhou Yu to immediately fall silent.
"Third Miss." Green Fu caught up with the food box, looked the two of them back and forth, and said to Zhou Yu, "Miss, I tasted it for you. The food in the box smells bad, but it tastes delicious."
Zhou Yu, now that she had a way out, muttered under her breath, "A wise woman doesn't suffer a loss in front of her. If you won't apologize, then don't apologize." To ease the awkward atmosphere, she quickly opened the food box and took a deep sniff: "It smells so good, but it also smells so bad. Gu Nanjiao really didn't lie to me. Just smelling it makes my mouth water."
Noticing the sharp gaze still fixed on her, Zhou Yu shrank back in fright and said to Bai Luochen in a spineless manner, "Don't... don't look at me like that. I'll apologize to you. You can have a piece of the delicious food in my food box. Please don't look at me like that, it's creepy."
Bai Luochen smelled a long-lost stench, a scent he missed. He quickly suppressed his murderous aura, waved his jade fan, and approached Zhou Yu with a smile on his lips.
Zhou Yu rubbed his eyes, as if he didn't recognize him. How could this person change his expression so quickly?
