TSBFL Chapter 115
Chapter 115.2: 趙小姐
[Young Lady Zhao]
The youth looked at him with a faintly unnoticeable flash of disgust, only that smear of disgust quickly disappeared and drowned in the depths of his eyes.
Waiting until Chen Lao Ye finally slowed down, he pointed at the youth and said, “You’re back?”
The youth nodded, his face was not very good, “The family had such a big problem, of course I have to come back. I have heard my mother say, I just did not think that the white-eyed wolf (CX) is such a shameless beast, you seek a good marriage for him, he even helped the outsiders to deal with you, put you into such harm. Blame me for not knowing people well, if I had known that it would turn out like this, I should have taken care of that white-eyed wolf before I left.”
Hearing his most talented son say this, Mrs Chen gently patted his hand and comforted him gently, “Hao’er, this can’t be blamed on you. Who would have thought that that person who was always obedient in the mansion would become that disloyal (disown all one’s relatives and friends—be unfeeling, cold or arrogant) (after leaving the mansion. Originally, I thought he was a good person, but now it seems that he is just pretending to be a stopgap.”
Hearing his mother’s words, Chen Hao’s eyes flashed to the picture of the white-eyed wolf (thankless wretch; an ingrate) he once saw in the mansion, that face is considered a rare good-looking Ger’s face, and at first he thought it would be a pity for him to be his concubine, but now it seems to be all an idea.
This idea only flashed in Chen Hao’s mind, and then he looked at the old man sitting there, asked in a somewhat puzzled tone: “This time’s matter, the Zhao family did not help? If the Zhao family had intervened, even if in the end they could not escape punishment, you would not have become so miserable.”
After he asked this sentence, not waiting for Chen Lao Ye to open his mouth with difficulty, Mrs Chen spoke up, with a bit of blame in her tone, “They won’t help, not to throw stones at somebody who has fallen down a well is already considered not bad. The time Lao Ye lay in bed for a few days, Mrs Zhao also came here once, but in addition to that time, we never heard from them again.”
Chen Hao frowned, looking towards Chen Lao Ye who wanted to say something, his tone took on a bit of seriousness, “Father, I think that no matter what, we still have to let the Zhao family help us out, or else if we fall down this time, the next time we climb up again, we also don’t know how many years it will take.”
Chen Lao Ye nodded, then let Chen Hao go to his under bed and take out a small box, hand it over to Chen Hao as he said with difficulty: “What my son said has a point. Here are the things I collected back then, after you read it, go to the Zhao family to make a trip, no matter what, you have to make the Zhao family to help us once again.”
Chen Hao hugged the things in his arms, nodded heavily towards the man breathing heavily in front of him, and responded, “Father, don’t worry, I will definitely get this done.”

Chen Xing’s three shops, after the first few days of being busy, gradually went on track. He also has more free time. On usual days, apart from going to each shop to check the accounts and give instructions on the preparation of the dishes. The rest of the time was spent sitting at the counter, accompanying Gu Lang to do random things; they both felt very happy.
On this day, Chen Xing is also the same, sitting at the counter with Gu Lang talking about the recent staff allocation, but only to see a person standing in their shop not far away, just watching from far away yet didn’t come closer.
Originally, Chen Xing just casually glanced, did not care much, but soon he found something wrong. That person has been staring at Chen Xing and their restaurant’s signboard with a hesitant look.
Finally, as if that person had finally made up his mind about something, the man slowly came towards them.
“Little Boss, long time no see.” When the visitor opened her mouth, her tone was particularly familiar.
Chen Xing found out that she was ‘long time no see’ Miss Zhao, but for some reason, she looked a lot skinnier now than the last time they met, so Chen Xing did not recognize her at the first time.
Seeing this old customer again, Chen Xing was still a little happy, he smiled at Zhao Jing, politely said: “Miss Zhao, this time what do you want to eat?”
Zhao Jing pursed her lips, looked a little entangled, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, raised her eyes to the Ger who smiled at her, and said in a low voice: “Little boss, this time I’m not here to eat, I’m just here to tell you one thing. You must remember it after you hear it.”
Chen Xing looked at Miss Zhao’s face that had become serious for no reason, he could not help but follow suit. Putting away the smile on his face, looked at her and nodded his head cautiously as he said, “Well, Miss Zhao, you said, I will definitely remember it.”
Hearing Chen Xing’s reply, Zhao Jing looked around and seemed to be a little worried about being seen, then after confirming that it was safe. She immediately said to Chen Xing: “Recently Little boss, you should be more careful when you go out. By the way, there’s also your husband too. Also, when you go out, try not to act alone.”
After hearing this, Chen Xing was stunned, and felt that if it was not for the fact that the person who said this was Miss Zhao in front of him, he would have thought that this was a warning given to him by someone.
Unfortunately, just as Chen Xing asked for clarification, Miss Zhao had already left in a panic.
By the time Chen Xing thought of chasing after her, Miss Zhao had already disappeared into the crowd, so he could only look at Gu Lang with a helpless face, wanting to hear his opinion.
Gu Lang raised his eyes to meet his gaze, looked at the direction Miss Zhao left, and slowly said, “Miss Zhao probably wants to remind us of something.”
Chen Xing nodded his head and agreed with this statement, after all, Miss Zhao did not look like a person who would lie, but there were still some things he did not quite understand, what was the meaning of Miss Zhao’s words just now. Could it be that someone was trying to harm them?
Chen Xing frowned and told Gu Lang what he thought, he felt that he was fine, but obviously since Gu Lang’s health is not good, so if there is any accident, then it would be bad.
Gu Lang’s eyes slightly dark, looking at the frowning Chen Xing, he then gently smiled, soon after that he said: “It does not matter, since Miss Zhao has already reminded us the next few days to pay attention a little. It’s useless to worry about it too much now, so it’s better to take guard against the premise and be careful of emergencies.”
