Shengjing Noble

Chapter 210 Don't bother me anymore

Tong Yan looked Fang Qingqing up and down. She was indeed a rare beauty, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

"You are lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law. She is not like the one in our family who is greedy, lazy and greedy!"

Fang Qingqing forced herself to smile and asked awkwardly, "Mrs. Lu, what are you doing?"

"Oh, isn't this because our family is in trouble? I'm thinking of selling this restaurant for some money."

Fang Qingqing, who had still held on to a glimmer of fantasy just now, suddenly turned pale.

"But this restaurant is doing so well, can you just sell it if you say so?"

"It's useless no matter how good the business is. It can't solve the urgent problem."

"Then Shengming, what do you think?"

Fang Qingqing turned to look at Su Shengming. She thought he would be reluctant to let go, but unexpectedly he held the account book in both hands and handed it to her with a sad face.

"Manager Tong, this is the account book of Zuixianlou for the past few months. Please take a look."

Tong Yan took it and lowered her head to read it carefully.

Su Shengming sighed, turned around and held Fang Qingqing's hand reluctantly.

"Qingqing, although this restaurant is gone, I will open you another one that is better than this one when we make a comeback."

He made a solemn promise, which was a real promise from the bottom of his heart, but in Fang Qingqing's eyes, it was ridiculous.

She resisted the urge to throw him away on the spot, and gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Think it over!"

"It's useless whether I think about it or not. Second brother's life is more important."

For the sake of his family, he would even sell him, let alone a mere restaurant.

Now, Fang Qingqing’s hopes were completely shattered!

It seems that the Lu family is really finished!

No, she couldn't let Su Shengming suffer with her!

Thinking of this, panic flashed in her eyes, but she still restrained herself and maintained her final decency.

"Shengming, I suddenly remembered that there are some things I haven't done yet. Why don't you guys go ahead and do your work? I won't bother you anymore."

As he was about to walk out, Lu Wanjun grabbed his wrist before he reached the door.

"Uh... Madam, do you have anything else to do?"

Lu Wanjun stared at her straightly, and her eyes seemed like a knife that could pierce through all her disguises.

"You're in such a hurry to leave, are you regretting it and don't want to marry my son anymore?"

There was a sneer on her lips and her eyes were icy cold, making Fang Qingqing feel at a loss.

It was as if if she said she didn’t want to get married the next moment, Lu Wanjun would skin her alive.

Fang Qingqing shuddered, swallowed her saliva, and quickly stroked her forehead uncomfortably, looking weak: "Madam, I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to have breakfast. I feel very dizzy..."

Su Shengming immediately stepped forward and showed concern: "Qingqing, are you okay? Mother, how about I take Qingqing back home?"

"This place is the closest to our home, why don't you go to our house for breakfast?" Lu Wanjun said with a wry smile.

Fang Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she thought: Even though she's in such a bad situation, there's still someone at home who makes breakfast for her. Could it be that she's just pretending? Sure enough, now she's exposed!

She straightened up again, smiled slightly, and pretended to be weak and leaned into Su Shengming's arms: "I'm so sorry, I can only bother you."

"Sorry for disturbing you. We are all family, right?"

Su Shengming smiled brightly like a big fool, and Lu Wanjun resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

How could she give birth to such a stupid son... But come to think of it, she was also a love-brained person back then, it must be hereditary.

"You guys go back first, I'll be back soon."

"it is good."

Su Shengming helped Fang Qingqing get into the Fang family's carriage.

"Shengming, where is your carriage?"

"Oh, the coachman has left, and we don't have a carriage now... Qingqing, you won't dislike me, will you?" Su Shengming looked ashamed.

Fang Qingqing twisted her face into a smile: "No, no, why would I dislike you? Let's go."

Having said that, she felt very disgusted in her heart!

Even his carriage had to rub against hers. If he was really such a man, wouldn't he be too cowardly and useless!

As she watched the carriage slowly drive out of the street, the curve of Lu Wanjun's mouth grew higher and higher.

Tong Yan threw the account book on the counter, walked to the door, patted her on the shoulder and said, "I say, Lao Lu, your restaurant has made a lot of money in the past few months!"

"How is it?" Lu Wanjun leaned against the door frame with her arms folded across her chest.

"How about you really sell it to me?"

"You wish! Don't forget the favor you promised me."

"Oh, don't worry. We have been friends for many years. This is all an act. We won't really take over your restaurant."

"By the way, is your little daughter Huanhuan married now?"

"That girl is just a tomboy. How could a good family come to marry her? I am so worried."

"I remember Huanhuan and Shengming were very close when they were children. How come they have become estranged in recent years?" Lu Wanjun seemed to be thinking about something.

"My Huanhuan is thinking about your brother Shengming, but I'm worried about this brat who is a playboy."

"What if he changed?"

"Change?" Tong Yan held her chin and thought for a while, "Shengming is not a bad guy by nature. If he changes his ways like before, I may consider it."

"Well, if he knows how to be loyal to his feelings after going through this, you have to help bring them together. I have liked your Huanhuan since I was a child. Why is she still in Mo County?"

"The old lady is in poor health and misses her granddaughter so much that she is reluctant to let her go. It will be my husband's birthday in a while, so she must come back."

"That's great."

……

Lu family.

Fang Qingqing looked at the white porridge and wild vegetables on the table, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Shengming... this... is this for human consumption?"

At this point, she was completely overwhelmed and showed disgust on her face without any concealment.

"We have been eating like this for the past few days. All the money in our family has been exchanged for food and shipped to Qiu County, but it is still far from what we expected. We really don't have any extra food. I'm sorry, Qingqing, for making you suffer."

Fang Qingqing took a deep breath, her voice trembling: "You must be kidding me? How come there is no one in your family who stutters?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw many servants standing outside the door with large and small bags on their backs, looking into the house.

The leader was the housekeeper, Nanny Li.

"Third Young Master..."

Su Shengming stood up and walked out. Standing on the steps, he looked at the people gathered in the yard and couldn't help but tears in his eyes.

There are so many servants here who have grown up with him, but today, they have to go their separate ways.

"Have you got the indentures?" he asked, holding back his sobs.

"Got it." Everyone said in unison.

"The redemption money is not much, but it is all the Lu family can afford. I hope you will not despise it."

"Third Young Master..." Everyone looked reluctant, and some of the maids even burst into tears.

"All good things must come to an end. Please leave now."

"Master, take care!"

"Master, please take good care of the lady!"

"Third Master, let's go."

……

Everyone turned around and walked out with their bags on their backs. Soon, the huge yard became empty and desolate.
