Chapter 44 Waste? You call me, the Demon Lord, waste?
The brother and sister arrived at Xiaoxiang Food Restaurant.
As soon as I entered, a waitress in her thirties greeted me warmly, "It's Miss Yu! It really is you. I'm so glad to see you again."
Yu Xiaolu felt that this person looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment, she just felt that he looked familiar.
Seeing her blank expression, the waitress said, "I'm Song Fengqing. I was on the rooftop that day—"
Yu Xiaoluo immediately remembered who it was. She couldn't quite place her now that she was dressed like this; she looked completely different from the haggard woman she used to be. "So it's Sister Fengqing. How are you doing these days? Are things going smoothly?"
The matter in question naturally refers to the divorce proceedings.
As Song Fengqing gestured for them to sit down, she said, "It went very smoothly. It was done according to our conditions. Now both children are under my name. Although it's a bit tough, Manman and my colleagues here have taken good care of me. I'm really doing quite well now."
Yu Xiaoluo looked her over carefully. She looked quite good now, and her complexion was much better than before. She was also in a very good mental state.
"That's good."
"Thanks to you, I was able to get through this and be completely transformed. Miss Yu, and this gentleman, what would you like to eat? It's on me."
"No, no, no, this is my third brother. If he doesn't spend money on me, he'll feel guilty and won't be able to sleep at night. I can't let my brother feel guilty. Thank you for your kindness, Sister Fengqing."
Yu Liang: ? ? ?
Song Fengqing smiled and said, "Oh, I see. You can place your orders now, and I'll hand them over as soon as possible."
Yu Xiaolu ordered some dishes and also ordered milk-flavored mini steamed buns for Xiaoxianxian. She looked around and asked, "Where's Sister Manman?"
"She was in the office working on the accounts, so I called her over."
"OK."
A little while later, Bao Manman came downstairs and ate with Yu Xiaoluo.
Bao Manman instructed the receptionist, "This is my sister. From now on, put her on my tab when she comes to eat."
"No, no, no, Sister Manman, my third brother is here, how can I put it on your tab? You're underestimating my brother—"
Yu Liang's lips twitched.
"Right, right, I almost forgot you existed, Yu Liang. Come on, bring out the most expensive one in the store."
"Yes, go ahead and order. My brother has 1.1 million."
Yu Liang's lips twitched violently. Women are a trap! He'd better not get married in the future, or he wouldn't even know how he died.
"That lackey? When we need him, he's nowhere to be seen."
Yu Liang finally found a less awkward topic and was able to shift the blame.
Unexpectedly, a lazy voice sounded from behind, "Are you talking about me? I didn't expect anyone would still remember me. Oh, thanks for thinking of me."
It was Bao Shuoyu. He had just returned from there and was hungry. He thought that since the original owner's family owned a restaurant, why not come and eat and drink for free? It would be a disservice to his identity if he didn't.
"Who misses you? Some people are nowhere to be seen when they're working, but they show up when it's time to eat."
"Hey, I'm here to eat at my own home, not at yours."
"That's right, my brother can be a bit unreliable sometimes, but he's absolutely reliable when it comes to meals. He never disappears."
Bao Manman managed to smooth things over, preventing the two from escalating into a full-blown argument. Other than that, it didn't matter; let them argue as they pleased, the main concern was that it would affect their restaurant's business.
"My two older brothers, eat well and get along well. My comeback banquet is in a few days, Shuoyu-ge and Manman-jie-jie, you both have to come!"
“It’s my sister’s banquet, of course I have to go,” Bao Shuoyu replied.
Yu Liang slammed his chopsticks down, as if he had a grudge against them, or perhaps he was talking to himself, "Eat, eat, eat. You're happy as long as you have food."
Bao Shuoyu looked at him with a smile, "Yu Liang, aren't you afraid of attracting ghosts by doing this?"
Yu Liang stared at him in astonishment. "What ghost?"
Bao Shuoyu remained silent, looking at him with a forced smile.
Yu Liang hated this look of his the most and was about to scold him when Yu Xiaoluo said, "Brother Shuoyu is right. Don't tap your chopsticks for no reason. It's a bad habit. In the ritual, chopsticks are a medium, a medium to communicate with the deceased. So, don't tap them casually, otherwise you might disturb the spirits of Third Brother."
Yu Liang got goosebumps all over and didn't even dare to touch his chopsticks, instead using his spoon to rummage through the rest of the meal. The other three chuckled to themselves.
"By the way, after the return banquet, I'm thinking of opening a restaurant that specializes in helping people with these kinds of incidents. Could you help me find a suitable location when you have time?"
Bao Manman said, "Luo Luo, why don't you try live streaming? There's no cost involved. Live streaming fortune telling can easily attract a lot of viewers, and you can reach netizens from all over the country. If you open a shop, you can only be limited to the local area, and occasionally some people from other places will come because of your reputation, so the audience isn't that wide."
Yu Liang nodded, "I agree first. I can take care of holding up the camera for you."
Bao Shuyu rolled his eyes at him. "Do we still need to hold up the camera? Just put it there." He thought to himself, "Even I, a person from thousands of years ago, have figured this out in such a short time."
"Then we'll need a customer service representative too."
Yu Xiaolu shook her head. "I'm still not very comfortable speaking in front of the camera. I think I'm a socially awkward person."
Everyone:……
Bao Manman gave her brother a guarantee, "My brother can handle this. He will first select a few shops for on-site inspections, and then let you choose the best ones in all aspects. This way, Xiao Luo Luo won't have to work so hard."
Bao Shuoyu looked at his thoughtful younger sister: Aren't I working even harder?
Bao Manman nudged him and whispered, "If Luo Luo thinks you're useless, then you really are useless. Hurry up and agree."
Waste? You're saying I, the Demon Lord, am waste?
The person who said this in the past would have died a hundred times over.
But--
Bao Shuyu managed to utter a single word: "Okay."
——————
When Yu Xiaoluo returned home, night had already fallen, and the stars in the sky twinkled softly.
In the vast sky, only a few clouds drifted slowly, seemingly pulled by the wind. The moon was sometimes obscured, and sometimes revealed its large, silvery face.
The three demonic pets were already waiting for her at home.
Little Toad: "Master, we haven't been able to track down Ming Jiuyou."
Little Pearl: "It's not that it didn't exist, but the aura just disappeared as we chased after it."
Xuanwu: "Yeah, anyway, it just disappeared."
Yu Xiaolu pondered for a moment: "Where did you chase them to?"
Little Frog: "We chased after Shangguan Peiyu."
Shangguan Peiyu? Yu Xiaoluo was very surprised. Could it be that Shangguan Peiyu had hidden Ming Jiuyou away? What was she after? Was it because he was intersex? Or because he was so handsome?
No, no, Ming Jiuyou is indeed a formidable figure; Shangguan Peiyu is no match for him at all. It's possible she was threatened.
Furthermore, cooperation is also a possibility.
