Chapter 119 Your son is dead.
"No need, no need. Shuoyu needs to eat too. We're mainly bringing him food. You guys are just doing it on the side."
Yu Xiaoluo's eyes widened, along with the appetite of about ten people?
"No, no, no, that's not good, Auntie. There are many of us. It's okay to do it once or twice, but it can't be done long-term."
Chen Kejing also said, "Yes, that won't do. Although our two families are very close, it's not good to keep taking advantage of you."
"How could that be? Luo Luo is family with us too."
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Bao said, "How about this, I'll give you a 50% discount and charge you just the cost price? Is that alright?"
That's feasible, so after the decision was made, Bao's parents and Bao Manman said goodbye. "Okay, we'll go back first and tell the kitchen."
"By the way, Uncle and Aunt, please prepare five tables for me tonight. I want to reciprocate the hospitality of the relatives and friends who gave me gifts today. You all have to come too. This meal can't be discounted. Otherwise, I'll have to go somewhere else."
"Okay, okay."
The other staff members also went back, including several of the older brothers, because the staff at the museum were busy with their work and their presence would only be a hindrance.
At this moment, Qiao Hongzhu came over and pointed to a box over there, saying, "Master, the three great schools of metaphysics have also sent a gift."
Yu Xiaolu frowned slightly. Them? They tried to burn down our shop yesterday, and they even brought us gifts today. They might be here to cause trouble.
Yu Xiaoluo originally intended to put it aside and look at it later, but leaving it aside was ultimately a potential problem. So she asked Shen Yujie, who was wearing a veil, to unpack the box. After all, she wasn't human, so it was best to keep a low profile and wear a veil.
After Shen Yujie opened it, there were four boxes inside.
When she opened one of the boxes, it turned out to be a compass. All four boxes contained compasses, leaving Yu Xiaolu speechless.
Fortunately, after a careful inspection, she found that there was nothing wrong with the compass, so she let Shen Yujie keep it, and gave one to each of the four deputy directors. They would come in handy.
At this point, the people who had made reservations were getting impatient, so Yu Liang came to urge them, "Luo Luo, your first guest today has been here for quite a while."
So Yu Xiaoluo immediately returned to the main building and apologized to the guests, saying, "I'm sorry, I was busy today and took up your time."
The other party was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with anxious eyes and a haggard face. "Master, I'm sorry, it's normal for you to be busy today since you're opening for business. I'm just worried because I'm afraid something has happened to my son."
"Auntie, please speak slowly." Yu Liang brought over two cups of tea; he was now doing odd jobs for his younger sister.
Little Frog ran back and forth between the two side halls, doing odd jobs. Because there were many customers there, Shen Yujie stayed hidden in the shadows. If anything went wrong, she would handle it.
Bao Shuoyu crossed his legs and scrolled through short videos on his phone. Yu Liang looked at him unconvinced and said, "You bastard, did you come here to enjoy yourself? You're more carefree than the boss. The boss still has to work, but you're just playing around."
Bao Shuoyu wasn't ashamed at all. "I don't need to study. I can understand things instantly. You should learn from your sister so that all you can do besides drive is make tea!"
"You—" Yu Liang really wanted to punch him, but there were customers in the store, so he couldn't argue loudly or fight. He had to hold back and give him the middle finger.
"I can even draw talismans! Let me show you how powerful I am." With that, he actually started drawing talismans. He had to keep practicing so that he wouldn't waste all his previous efforts.
Aunt Zhang handed over a piece of paper from her pocket. "My son has been missing for several days. I reported it to the police, but we still haven't found any clues. I suspect something happened to him."
As she said this, her eyes reddened, and she wiped away her tears as she handed the paper to Yu Xiaoluo. "I found this note under his pillow."
Yu Xiaoluo took it and saw that it read: "If I don't go to hell, who will? CHH, I'm going to drag you down with me!"
She had already seen the woman's face. "Auntie, your surname is Zhang, right? You are the fifth daughter in your family. You have never been valued here all your life. Later, you got married and had a son, whom you doted on, right?"
Aunt Zhang's voice trembled, "How did you know? Have you guessed where my son is?"
"Your son, I'm afraid, is—"
Aunt Zhang grabbed Yu Xiaoluo's arm excitedly, her voice rising, "What did you say? Afraid of what?"
Yu Xiaoluo said calmly, "He's dead."
Aunt Zhang completely broke down, shouting angrily, "No, you're talking nonsense! How could my son be dead? He's only fifteen years old and just got into high school. You're all charlatans, spouting nonsense! I'm going to smash your signboard!"
Her voice attracted onlookers, including those outside who had received their numbers but hadn't yet received theirs, and those outside the top 100 who were just bored and watching the spectacle.
Yu Liang called out, "Hey, Auntie, don't get agitated. Our owner has never made a mistake in his calculations. If you don't believe me, please go somewhere else."
Yu Xiaoluo continued, "Your uterus is dark and lifeless—" She glanced down at the note, "Who is CHH?"
"Cai Huanhuan! It must be that bitch Cai Huanhuan who killed my son! I asked her where my son was, and she kept denying that she had seen him! I'm going to kill her!"
"Auntie, please don't be impulsive. She might not have killed your son. She might know something. Could you take us to her? It's summer vacation now, she should be at home."
Aunt Zhang gradually calmed down. "Okay, I'll take you there."
Yu Xiaoluo looked at Bao Shuoyu, "Brother Shuoyu, it seems we can only handle one order this morning. Please notify the other person in the appointment stamp and tell them to wait for further notice. The other one can only be done tomorrow. Also, you stay in the shop and watch over the store."
Bao Shuyu pointed to his own nose, "Why should I be the one guarding the store?"
Yu Liang finally vented his anger and said arrogantly, "Just because I can drive doesn't mean you can."
"I can't ride an electric motorcycle."
"Tch, trying to look cool. What will you do in the rain? And what about the guests you need to take with you? Three people riding on one electric scooter?"
Bao Shuoyu was speechless for a moment. Watching their departing figures, he picked up his phone and called Chen Mi, "Sign me up for a car driving school, the kind where you can get your license within half a month—"
He looked down at his body and sighed softly, "The original owner of this body was really useless. He was over twenty years old and couldn't even drive a car."
