Coming of the Villain Boss! - Chapter 679
Chapter 679: Liu Qing and Cheng Gui (26)
By the time Li Shen’s mother and Li Hua came back, it was already late at night.
Liu Xinyue sat in the main hall and drank her tea. Li Shen’s mother saw her and immediately got angry. “Look at how Litttle Hua is now. Don’t you know to help her out? Are you dead?”
Liu Xinyue put down her teacup and looked at Li Shen’s mother.
Li Shen’s mother felt that there was something weird about Liu Xinyue, but she remembered that the Liu family belonged to her son now so she was emboldened. “What are you looking at, come over and help.”
“Your son just came back with a woman,” Liu Xinyue said coldly. “They are having fun in his room now.”
“What is wrong with that?” Li Shen’s mother was already very angry so she seemed even more sarcastic now. “Which man doesn’t have concubines. I know that you don’t allow my son to enter your room these days. What is wrong with my son finding other women then?”
Liu Xinyue didn’t say anything. She got up and left the main hall.
Li Hua only broke her arms. How was that enough? She would let these vampires know that spending her money was not an easy job.
As for that Liu Qing…
She would not let go of anyone.
–
The rumors that Ming Shu bullied civilians due to her status as an Infanta started spreading in town. Ming Shu was not polite either and confirmed this rumor.
She took a restaurant from the hands of an evil merchant.
Qin Ling didn’t expect Ming Shu to mean what she said. She was forced to put a square peg into a round hole. Luckily, Ming Shu didn’t appear often. She knew that her reputation was not good and didn’t want it to affect the business of the restaurant.
Qin Ling couldn’t really understand what she was thinking.
The restaurant already had many facilities so there was nothing much to prepare. However, Qin Ling felt that even though she was forced to accept this role, she must do her best. Hence, she borrowed some money from Ming Shu and renovated the restaurant.
She combined styles from modern times into her design and it didn’t look as old-fashioned as before. The restaurant was casual but comfortable. People’s eyes lit up when they came in.
After settling everything, another difficult question arose. She didn’t know who to ask so she could only find Ming Shu to discuss it.
“Qingqing, how do you think we should operate the restaurant?”
“I don’t know.”
“…”
You asked the wrong person. She only knew what could be eaten and what couldn’t.
It must be hard for Lord Cheng to live with such a person.
“Strange, where is Lord Cheng?” Qin Ling was surprised that she didn’t see Lord Cheng after being here for so long. When she came last time, Cheng Gui would appear after five minutes, afraid that she would run away with Ming Shu.
“I don’t know.” Ming Shu didn’t have much energy. She sank into the chair and yawned like a lazy cat.
Qin Ling was depressed. “The restaurant is so big. I won’t be able to make all the food. However, we can’t get any chefs…”
She muttered to herself. Some things could be said easily, but when you really got up and did it, you would realize how troublesome it was. She didn’t expect Ming Shu to give her any suggestions. She just wanted someone to listen to her.
“If you can’t handle it, limit the amount,” Ming Shu suddenly said. “Don’t look down, look up. If someone wants to eat your food, they will have to reserve a few days in advance.”
Her voice was soft, but the things she said made Qin Ling speechless.
“Will people come?” She was not a renowned chef. If she limited her food quantity, her restaurant might have to close down.
“Why not?” Ming Shu said. “Your food is really good.”
She paused. “I will not normally compliment people’s cooking.”
Most of the things she had were edible and filled up her stomach. Effective, but not tasty.
Although she needed to fill up her stomach, she liked good food too. Good food made her happy when she ate it.
If you could make yourself happier, why wouldn’t you want to?
Just like…
Ming Shu suddenly sat up. Qin Ling got a shock. “Qingqing, what is wrong?”
“Heed my words. I will not harm you. You need to be more confident in yourself. Your food is really good,” Ming Shu said quickly. “I will ask Ah Xi to send you back. I will go out for a while.”
Qin Ling was puzzled as she watched Ming Shu leave in a flash.
What happened to her?
–
Ming Shu walked out of town. She saw the red troops from a distance. They were like flames burning in the air.
The sound of hooves got nearer.
A man in white pulled up his horse and jumped down from it. He ran toward Ming Shu. “Qingqing, why did you come?”
Ming Shu suddenly opened her arms.
Cheng Gui was stunned. What is the meaning of this?
He moved his hands and finally hugged her. “What happened? Did you miss me?”
Miss you? I just wanted to hug you.
She still had to face some things.
Even if she knew that he had his intentions…
“I thought that you brought good food for me,” Ming Shu said.
Cheng Gui stroked Ming Shu’s face. “I am very good too. Do you want to try?”
“Fried?”
“Qingqing, if I died, you would be a widow!” F**k, was he meant to be fried!
Where is my knife!
“It’s okay, we can start from the elbow. Like this…”
Cheng Gui’s face turned black. He stopped her hurriedly. “I have asked people to bring some food from the Capital. However, they are all foods that can be kept for a while.”
“Really?” Ming Shu’s eyes lit up.
“Why would I lie to you?” Cheng Gui smiled. “Let’s go back.”
Finally. I don’t have to be fried.
Cheng Gui carried Ming Shu and placed her on the horse. He got onto the back of the horse and hugged her from behind.
“What did they say at the Capital?”
Cheng Gui kept quiet for a while. “I have given them my commander’s seal as well as yours. Qingqing, will you blame me?”
Ming Shu understood that he exchanged for all this using the commander’s seal. If not, the emperor would not let someone with the seal stay here.
Eunuch Lu thought that the commander’s seal was given by the emperor, but how could someone like the emperor give something so important to an outsider?
Cheng Gui might have done something to get the seal.
“It can’t be eaten anyway.”
Cheng Gui smiled and said, “Let’s go back and have some food.”
Ming Shu agreed in a low voice. Her smile widened as Cheng Gui looked away. Gentleness and warmth filled her eyes.
Cheng Gui came back with the betrothal presents. It was a really long carriage train. There was no end to it.
This news reached Liu Xinyue. It was like a thorn to her.
Liu Xinyue looked at the family in front of her and felt disgusted.
“If I could marry him, I would be really lucky.” Li Hua could get off the bed now but she still couldn’t use her hands. According to the physician, she would be really lucky if she could still hold things. “Mother, I want to marry him!”
“Hoh…” Liu Xinyue couldn’t help but snicker.
Her?
“What are you laughing at!” Li Hua shouted angrily. “Mother, she is laughing at me!”
“Look at yourself. Do you think that he will like you?” Liu Xinyue said sarcastically.
Pa!
Li Shen’s mother slapped her. “You little rascal, what are you saying? What is not good about her?”
Liu Xinyue was stunned by the slap.
“You dare to slap me?”
Liu Xinyue slapped her back.
“Son, son, look at your wife. She is trying to hit her elder!”
Li Shen’s mother shouted about. At this moment, Li Shen came back. He grabbed Liu Xinyue.
Liu Xinyue was surrounded by the Li family and didn’t gain anything from it. In the end, she was still slapped twice. They ended this episode on a bad note.
