Shu Family Dry Cleaning Shop: "Brother Li! We're back! Sister Meng and I both got excellent grades! Haha, the assessment results are the same! Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!"
As Zhou Xiaoyu's cheerful voice rang out, the door of the dry cleaner opened, and Zhou Xiaoyu ran in holding a bright red certificate. She excitedly presented it to Li Jia, saying, "Look, Brother Li! We even have a certificate! We're excellent! We're excellent!" Zhou Xiaoyu was overjoyed today. After presenting the certificate, she even started singing as she ran upstairs.
"You're back?" Li Jia took the bag from Meng Yao's hand and then pulled Meng Yao to sit down in the rest area. "I have a friend whose fiancé didn't come to her wedding. She's very heartbroken. I'm worried something might happen to her, so I left her here. Please help me talk to her and make sure nothing bad happens to her. Please, I'll dance with you a few more times next time." After saying this in one breath, Li Feng saw the smile on Meng Yao's face and finally felt relieved.
As the two were talking on the sofa, Zhou Xiaoyu suddenly ran down from the second floor. "Brother Li, did you pick up another older sister outside? Who is that person in the bathroom?"
"Hehe, he's your brother Li's classmate who studies cooking with you. Don't worry about that, go buy some groceries first. It's already midday, hurry up, I'll have your brother Li show off his skills and cook you a sumptuous meal!" Meng Yao said with a smile, picking up where Zhou Xiaoyu left off, and took out a fifty-yuan note from her bag for Zhou Xiaoyu. "Go on, pick out the vegetables carefully, make sure they're fresh!"
"Okay! Just watch!" Zhou Xiaoyu took the money, speaking in a Beijing accent, and then happily ran off to buy groceries.
"Leave it to me, but remember what you said!" Meng Yao said, picked up her bag, got up and went upstairs to the second floor, while Li Jia sat down on the sofa with a sense of relief.
I hadn't been sitting for long when my phone rang. I picked it up and saw an unfamiliar number. "Hello! Who is this?"
"Hehe, handsome young man, you haven't forgotten me, have you? It's Friday today!" The voice on the phone was incredibly sweet, and Li Jia immediately remembered that it was Yan Ruyu, the young woman from that day. She quickly rummaged through the business card holder in the rest area and found Yan Ruyu's business card, then replied with a smile, "Oh, it's Ms. Yan! I haven't forgotten, of course I haven't forgotten. I'll drive to your place at three o'clock this afternoon to pick up the order, don't worry!"
"Hehe, you still call me President Yan? You're quite clever! But President Yan sounds too formal. How about you just call me Ruyu?" Yan Ruyu had an extremely good impression of Li Jia, so she couldn't help but tease him when she thought of Li Feng's refined appearance.
"Okay... alright, in that case, see you this afternoon." Li Jia hung up the phone after saying that. The charm that Yan Ruyu exuded was completely different from Meng Yao's. One was mature and dignified, while the other was mature and seductive. Although both belonged to the category of mature women, Li Jia still preferred Meng Yao's maturity and dignity more. Of course, he didn't have much of an aversion to Yan Ruyu's seductive charm, after all, Li Jia was a pure man.
After hanging up the phone, Li Jia saw Zhou Xiaoyu carrying groceries into the room. She stood up and took the groceries from her. "You stay downstairs and keep an eye on things for a while. I'll go cook. Just hang the door shut when we eat. There will be a lot of work to do this afternoon!"
“Okay! No problem!” Zhou Xiaoyu said and went behind the counter, while Li Jia carried the groceries upstairs.
After comforting An Ran, who was still suffering from severe poisoning, Meng Yao's complexion had improved by lunchtime. It seemed that Meng Yao had played a crucial role in this. Wearing a black tracksuit, An Ran sat down at the table and said, "Thank you, National Treasure."
Li Jia smiled when she heard An Ran's words, then put some food on An Ran's plate. "Eat up, and you two can have a good chat after you finish eating. Tomorrow, Brother Li will personally take you home. Don't worry, Brother Li keeps his word."
"Okay!" An Ran nodded, lowered her head and silently ate the food Li Jia had prepared. Meng Yao kept putting food on An Ran's plate, and even Zhou Xiaoyu joined in. Looking at the concerned expressions on their faces, An Ran's eyes welled up with tears, and she couldn't hold back any longer. She lowered her head and ate the bowl full of food...
After dinner, Zhou Xiaoyu escorted An Ran back to the last guest room to rest. Meng Yao and Li Jia sat on the sofa. "What do you plan to do about An Ran's situation?" Meng Yao asked softly, looking at Li Jia's calm face. "Let's just leave it at that. The one who tied the knot must untie it. Let nature take its course."
Li Jia smiled and said calmly.
