Chapter 488: Forcing People to Do What Is Difficult
"Fifth brother, let me tell you, there's a man helping out in the shop today, and he can't do much work, and Sister Linlin still has to pay him. Can you go tomorrow, so we don't waste money?" Green Bean said this with an angry look on his face.
"A man?" Ye Wu frowned. "I remember the shop only hired one female employee. How could it be a man?"
"Fifth brother, you don't know that Xia Yao sprained her foot yesterday, so her brother went there today. Sister Linlin said it was not convenient for him to stay, but he just stood in front of the counter and refused to leave. There was obviously only one person in front of the counter. Do you think he wants to cheat us of our money?" The more Green Bean thought about it, the more he felt that there was something wrong with Xia Mingcheng.
Ye Wu's focus was on the man who had been standing next to Ruan Linlin. Could it be that this man had taken a fancy to Ruan Linlin?
"Yun'an, what does that person look like?" Ye Wu asked.
Ye Yun'an recalled for a moment before saying, "He looks like a scholar, very good-looking, and a humble person."
With every word he said, Ye Wu's face became uglier. In just one short sentence, Ye Wu's face turned completely dark.
Ye Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look tomorrow morning."
Green Bean nodded angrily: "I will go with Fifth Brother. If he doesn't leave, I will punch him twice."
"That's not necessary," Ye Wu shook his head. "His sister is a clerk in our shop. We should explain everything to him."
Ye Yun'an and Ludou looked at each other. Ye Wu's expression didn't look like he was going to reason with anyone, but rather like he was going to fight with someone.
Green Bean pulled Ye Yun'an and said, "Do you think we should go and have a look tomorrow?"
Ye Yun'an also wanted to go and see, but was afraid of being discovered by Ye Wu, so he winked at Lu Dou.
Ye Yun'an: Tomorrow, after Brother Ye Wu leaves, we will go and see it quietly.
Mung Bean: OK.
Ye Wu was so preoccupied with what to say to Xia Mingcheng when he met him tomorrow that he didn't notice Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou winking at each other.
The next day, Ye Wu got up early, and Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou quietly followed him.
Ye Mingzhu asked about it when she saw no one around while eating. Yunniang smiled and said, "Fifth Master went out early this morning. Young Master Yun'an and Young Master Ludou followed him out, saying they were going to buy food. Old Hu was worried, so he went with them."
Ye Mingzhu nodded, took a sip of porridge, and quickly realized: "Is Fifth Brother taking a day off today?"
Yunniang nodded and said yes.
Ye Mingzhu immediately understood that Ye Wu must have gone to Sweetheart Place. As for Ye Yunan and Lu Dou, they must have gone to watch the fun.
She smiled and shook her head, and quickened her eating pace. She didn't want to miss such a lively scene.
Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou had been following behind Ye Wu. Seeing that he was taking the wrong route, Lu Dou whispered, "Brother Wu, did you take the wrong road? This road is not the way to Sweetheart Place."
Ye Yun'an was also carefully identifying the route. This road obviously led to South City.
Whatever Nancheng has the most of, it must be the place that sells breakfast. Ye Yun'an guessed: "Fifth Brother got up so early, maybe he had breakfast here before going over there."
"Breakfast?" Green Bean's eyes lit up. "Great! We got up too early today and haven't had breakfast yet."
Ye Yun'an also quickened his pace. As long as the fifth brother stopped to eat breakfast, they could also buy some breakfast. The two of them didn't have time to eat breakfast after practicing boxing in the morning and were very hungry.
Ye Wu did come here to buy breakfast, but he did not eat it here. He bought the breakfast, asked the shopkeeper to pack it for him, and took it away directly.
Green Bean was dumbfounded when he saw Ye Wu had already bought breakfast and was about to leave: "Brother Wu, if he doesn't eat here, will the meat pie he bought still taste good when it gets cold?"
Ye Yun'an was also a little confused: "Fifth brother actually bought a bowl of wontons, isn't he afraid of spilling it?"
The two men looked at each other, neither of them knowing what Ye Wu was up to, but both were hungry, so Ye Yun'an could only buy two sesame cakes on the roadside and gave one to Luodou.
"Don't think about it, we'll find out if we follow them. We won't be able to see it soon."
Green Bean bit a bite of the pancake resentfully: "If I had known, I wouldn't have come with Fifth Brother. This morning I heard Yunniang say that the kitchen had cooked meat porridge today."
"Stop talking and let's go." Ye Yun'an also felt a little regretful, but the two of them had already come here, what else could he do but continue to follow.
Ye Wu really didn't notice the two little tails behind him, because his attention was on the wontons in his hands. He walked very fast for fear that the wontons would get cold.
At the entrance of Sweetheart Place, Ruan Linlin opened the door and saw Xia Mingcheng. She frowned subconsciously.
Xia Mingcheng smiled and raised the basket in his hand: "Linlin, you must not have eaten yet, I brought you breakfast."
Ruan Linlin took a step back and said, "Mr. Xia, we are not familiar with each other. Please call me Manager Ruan."
Xia Mingcheng stepped forward, took out a clay pot from the basket, and said with a smile: "Yaoyao calls you Sister Linlin, so it's not excessive for me to call you Linlin. It's okay. We are so close, others won't mind."
Ruan Linlin was so annoyed that she wanted to pull her hair out. This Xia Mingcheng seemed to not understand what she was saying. She said again with a stern face, "Mr. Xia, please call me Manager Ruan. We are not familiar with each other."
Xia Mingcheng nodded perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I'll call you Shopkeeper Xia."
These words sounded full of doting. The man in the shop next door just opened the door and greeted Ruan Linlin with a smile: "Shopkeeper Ruan, you are so lucky. Someone came to bring you breakfast so early in the morning."
Ruan Linlin smiled awkwardly, quickly stepped aside, and shook her head at Xia Mingcheng: "Mr. Xia, we are not familiar with each other. Please take the breakfast back."
"Linlin, this is the seafood porridge that Yaoyao cooked early in the morning. How does it taste?" Xia Mingcheng brought the bowl to Ruan Linlin, and stretched out the spoon to Ruan Linlin's mouth.
"Sir, Manager Ruan has already said that he doesn't want to drink seafood porridge. Why are you forcing him?" Ye Wu's cold voice sounded from behind Xia Mingcheng.
"Fifth Master, why are you here so early?" Ruan Linlin walked around Xia Mingcheng with a look of surprise on her face and went to greet him.
"I bought you breakfast, meat patties and wontons. Eat them quickly, otherwise I'm worried that the wontons will stick together and won't taste good." Ye Wu showed Ruan Linlin what he was holding.
"Did you buy it in Nancheng?" Ruan Linlin pushed Ye Wu into the house, having forgotten Xia Mingcheng standing next to her.
"Didn't you say it was delicious last time? I went to buy it today when I have a day off. Hurry up and take it inside to eat. I also bought something for Ruyi." Ye Wu deliberately stood in front of Xia Mingcheng.
"Ruyi will definitely be happy when she knows this. I'll take it in." Ruan Linlin walked in carrying the meat patties and wontons.
