"You forgot, before we left, Xiaoqin once said that Xu Yan was trying to get the formula and preparation method of our medicinal diet through her parents.
Whether she is seeking benefits for her family or planning to sell our formula to competitors, since there are hidden dangers, she has to guard against them."
Ruan Tong still spoke calmly, as if all the so-called competitions were all crooked and could not catch her eye.
"Fourth brother, after you heard about it before, did you plan to talk to the second brother directly about this matter?" Ruan Tong asked.
Gu Bai smiled bitterly, "Yes! But..."
"But I can't control Xu Yan at all, right?" Ruan Tong said half-jokingly.
Gu Bai was helpless, the other party was a lesbian, and he couldn't do anything to her.
However, his second brother was so cowardly, and his parents had always tolerated Xu Yan.
Everyone is afraid of trouble, so they keep things quiet.
"Everyone should do business based on their own abilities! No matter what means Xu Yan uses to trick out the formula of our medicinal diet, it is disgraceful. Even if she is condemned, it will not hurt a shameless person like her!"
Sometimes, Gu Bai admires his young daughter-in-law's mentality, how she can deal with everything calmly.
Ruan Tong raised his hand, touched Gu Bai's stern face, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, fourth brother, you are no longer alone now, you still have me."
Gu Bai's eyes darkened. Even though she was lying on the bed unable to move and needed help from others to get up and go to the toilet, she was still optimistic and confident, as if there was no haze in her world.
"Other things are not important, everything is your priority." Gu Bai said with firm eyes.
"Don't worry, the babies and I are fine. Just wait quietly for them to be born!" Ruan Tong said with a smile on his face.
The two chatted for a while, until Ruan Tong fell asleep, and then Gu Bai got up and left.
Gu Qin was called outside by Gu Bai. Looking at his serious expression, her heart went numb: "Fourth brother, you can scold me. I am talking too much."
"Why do you have to tell her at this time? Do you think she hasn't worked hard enough?" Gu Bai pursed his lips and spoke sternly.
When questioned, Gu Qin's eyes immediately turned red: "I...I think my sister-in-law has the right to know this matter, why should I hide it from her?"
"What will happen if you tell her? It's just that more people will worry about it."
Gu Bai frowned. Gu Qin was still too young and didn't think things through carefully. He suddenly felt that it was a mistake to let her come to the provincial capital.
"Eldest sister will come tomorrow. Follow her and take Dabao and Erbao back!" Gu Bai said coldly.
"Okay, I'm leaving!" Gu Qin was a little angry, and before turning to leave, she didn't forget to add: "Fourth brother, you think you are doing the best for your fourth sister-in-law, but in fact you are just chauvinistic!"
"Then what happens after you tell her? Have you achieved your goal?"
Gu Bai asked back?
He is not a male chauvinist, he just thinks Ruan Tong is working too hard and doesn't want her to worry.
Gu Qin was stunned for a moment, then ran away crying.
Ruan Tong was drowsily asleep. When he heard the quarrel outside, he slowly opened his eyes and sighed.
Gu Bai walked in at this time and saw Ruan Tong awake, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"
"Fourth brother, I know you care about me, but Xiaoqin is also worried about our business, so let this matter pass!"
Gu Bai said nothing.
"You deliberately hid it from me and didn't tell me. I'm happy and at ease, so I won't blame you."
Hearing her words, Gu Bai was moved, leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips.
Ever since he had that strange dream, Gu Bai increasingly distinguished the current Ruan Tong from the Ruan Tong he knew before.
He also felt that his idea was ridiculous. But he only recognized the little woman in front of him.
"Tongtong, don't worry, you have me too."
***
Gu Qian came to the provincial capital to pick up Gu Qin, Dabao and Erbao, and told Ruan Tong roughly what happened in the store.
Ruan Tong knew that Gu Qian deliberately reported good news but not bad news.
However, she was very moved.
After all, the business belongs to her and Gu Bai, but both Yu Sheng and Gu Qian work very hard in running it. They can obviously fish all day long without working hard.
To them, Ruan Tong is always grateful.
She was very lucky that she came to this era and met these lovely people.
"Don't worry about the store. Yu Sheng and I will do our best to take care of it."
Seeing her lying on the bed unable to move, Gu Qian felt very sorry for her. Before leaving, she did not forget to comfort Ruan Tong so that she could prepare for the birth with peace of mind.
Ruan Tong didn't have anything to worry about, but he couldn't hold back the flies that were jumping around.
"A Different Cave" is about to open.
Xiao Zhe was doing business for the first time and always felt unsure.
With various novel marketing strategies compiled by Ruan Tong in his hand, he was still very nervous and ran to Gu's house every two days.
When he came to Gu Bai's house, he couldn't enter the house. After all, Ruan Tong was bedridden 24 hours a day, so Gu Bai could only stay with him outside the house and listen to his complaints.
"Lao Gu, Qiu Hong has been coming to my place very frequently recently. From what I heard, she seems to have repented, and she cares about Xiao Ruan quite a lot. She often greets her by saying hello."
Xiao Zhe said cautiously, observing Gu Bai's face.
Gu Bai said nothing, clearly not wanting to talk about Qiu Hong.
"Hey, since the last quarrel on the street, Qiu Hong and the college student named Su Yue have not interacted with each other again. I think she can still get along with her as a friend." Xiao Zhe said to himself.
"That's your business." Gu Bai said coldly, "If you have nothing else to do, go and get busy. Tongtong is working very hard every day. I just want to guard her every step of the way."
"The restaurant will open the day after tomorrow, you have to go there! After all, your family also occupies a share of the hot pot base, and Xiao Ruan can't go, so please represent me." Xiao Zhe said seriously.
Gu Bai responded, "Yeah."
This is also the task Ruan Tong gave him.
Ruan Tong has always been thinking about the opening of Biyoudongtian and has reminded him of it a long time ago.
"Also, tomorrow..." Xiao Zhe smiled mysteriously and deliberately let it slip, "Tomorrow I will invite Sun Yan to Biyoudongtian and treat her to dinner!"
"Yeah." Gu Bai still responded calmly.
"I want to confess to her!" Xiao Zhe became more and more excited as he spoke and stood up directly.
Gu Bai stood up directly to see off the guests.
Don’t forget to add, “Tongtong asked me to tell you, I wish you... success!”
Gu Bai felt that Ruan Tong's guess was too accurate.
She said two days ago that Xiao Zhe would definitely confess to Sun Yan in the near future, and it would be in another cave. Now it seems that she has guessed everything!
As a result, at 9 o'clock the next night, Xiao Zhe suddenly came to the door.
He was obviously drunk and looked frustrated in love. Gu Bai only glanced at him and knew that this was a failed confession.
"That little woman guessed it again." Gu Bai murmured to himself.
"What?" Xiao Zhe's ears were very sensitive at this time. To be precise, his whole body was very sensitive. "So, you and Xiao Ruan had already guessed that I would be rejected?"
"Comrade Sun Yan has seen Qiu Hong, right?" Gu Bai looked at him with a half-smile.
