Lu Mingze returned without success and was unhappy at home.
On the other hand, Lu Minghe has officially established a relationship with Ding Moyan through this outing in Faluan Mountain.
Fan Zheng deserves a share of the credit here. If he hadn't jumped out to cause trouble, Ding Moyan might not have been able to agree so happily.
It can be said that some families are happy and some are sad.
Lu Minglan sat down next to his eldest brother in a low voice, and together they looked at Lu Minghe who was talking on the phone opposite him.
Lu Minghe held up the receiver and smiled sillyly into the air. He really answered the sentence: What girl doesn't have a child, and what boy doesn't fall in love?
After a while, Lu Minghe grabbed his coat and rushed outside, without even having time to reveal any news to his elder brother and younger sister.
"I really shouldn't have indulged your second brother like this. What's the point of doing nothing all day long?" Lu Mingze said with envy, his eyes following Lu Minghe's retreating back for a long time.
Lu Minglan pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother, didn't you go to the store today?"
"Is Lu Ji my own?" Lu Mingze argued in a subtle way, and then picked up today's newspaper and pretended to read it.
Lu Minglan couldn't control her thoughts and snatched the newspaper from her elder brother's hand, "I know you went to see Gu Qingdai yesterday."
"She is much better, and her illness is not serious."
Lu Mingze really didn't want to mention what happened yesterday. For him, that scene was embarrassing every time he thought about it.
Lu Minglan didn't want to hide it anymore: "Are she and Brother Beichuan together?"
"No!" Lu Mingze said, grinding his teeth.
Lu Minglan suddenly smiled: "Really?"
"You girl really don't care about your elder brother. Why are you so disappointed? You only think about your Beichuan brother?"
"As long as the two of them are not together, the eldest brother will have many opportunities to pursue Sister Qingdai, and I will also..." Lu Minglan lowered his head shyly.
Lu Mingze looked at his little sister with a little worry. He knew very well in his heart that if he was only 10% sure about the matter between him and Gu Qingdai, then there would be no possibility between his little sister and Lian Beichuan.
But now he is in the role of being rejected by Gu Qingdai, and if he tries to advise his younger sister not to provoke Lian Beichuan, Lu Minglan's temperament will inevitably lead to the opposite.
If things go wrong, you have to blame him as the eldest brother. He can't get happiness himself and doesn't let his younger sister pursue happiness.
Perhaps Lu Minglan should be allowed to face the emotional issue independently. Maybe he will hit a wall before he can truly grow and mature?
Lu Mingze didn't say anything more in this regard. He only told her that since she participated in the Miss Luancheng Beauty Contest, she must take it seriously, otherwise she would be sorry for the large amount of sponsorship Lu Ji Company spent.
Lu Minglan is very enthusiastic about the beauty pageant, not only to fulfill Mrs. Lu's expectations, but also to use the Miss Luancheng crown as a blessing to attract Lian Beichuan's praise and admiration.
Lu Minglan thought that men should all like dazzling women.
But she doesn't understand the meaning behind the decay of gold and jade.
Gu Qingdai couldn't stay any longer after lying on the bed for two days. She just couldn't rest, and she felt that there were a lot of things waiting for her to do in front of her.
Regardless of everyone's advice, she started working as usual.
But when it was time to take medicine, everyone looked for her everywhere in the teahouse.
Every time she saw them approaching her with a bowl of bitter medicinal soup that was scalding to her mouth, Gu Qingdai thought of that familiar scene——
Dalang, it’s time to take medicine!
In particular, Mantang and Shaoshan carried out Lian Beichuan's instructions extremely well.
This all gave Gu Qingdai a misunderstanding. Could it be that the two of them were bribed by Lian Beichuan?
Thinking of Lian Beichuan, Gu Qingdai felt even more strange, why did that person seem to have disappeared from the world in the past two days?
She could remember the words Nawen said on Faluan Mountain clearly even in her dreams.
In the evening, the teahouse was bustling with people, and it was the turn of the Zhong family's troupe to perform on stage again, but there was no Zhong Ling in the role tonight.
So Gu Qingdai was a little surprised to see Song Yueting patronizing her.
However, when she saw several new female companions around him, she was instantly surprised again.
Song Yueting did not go to the card room today. He only opened a private room on the second floor, as if he was meeting a few important people to discuss matters.
Half an hour later, Ma Yu hurried over and said, "Shopkeeper, there's something wrong with Mr. Song's house."
"How to say?"
Nowadays, Gu Qingdai has calmed down about such emergencies. There will be some small disturbances in the teahouse every now and then, but they can usually be resolved properly.
"The female companions brought by Mr. Song said that the pastries we made were not fresh, and they got upset after eating them."
"Have you ever gone to see it?"
"After seeing it, I just left a plate, not even a bit of dregs left."
Gu Qingdai smoothed her broken hair around her temples and said, "Let's go, take me there."
Ma Yu put his hands in his sleeves and said, "Shopkeeper, why don't you call Mantang in?"
"What are you afraid of? Is it possible that Song Yueting still dares to be violent in the teahouse?" Gu Qingdai walked towards the private room on the second floor excitedly.
Ma Yu followed cautiously, and it wasn't until she came to the door of the private room that Gu Qingdai understood why Ma Yu was so scared.
The three or five minions guarding the private room were extremely fierce, and even if the whole hall came over, they would probably not be their opponents.
"Those big brothers outside are so fierce, they scare me to death." Gu Qingdai walked in with a smile and took a careful look at the situation in the private room.
Song Yueting remained silent and just looked at her, his eyes as naked as ever.
Gu Qingdai saw that the female companions were all radiant and showed no symptoms of discomfort.
She picked up the pastry plate again and said, "The pastry today is indeed not made by Zhu Xiaojiu. Are you not used to it?"
"I feel sick in my stomach after eating it. I've been to the hut several times. Can shopkeeper Gu give me an explanation?" a female companion said delicately, but her eyes were fixed on Song Yueting.
"This is easy to handle. Let's go see the doctor. If you really get sick from eating here, I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Another female companion gently echoed: "It's so late, where can I find a doctor?"
"Why don't you ask Mr. Song to send someone to our kitchen to have a look? The ingredients we use are absolutely fresh. There must be some misunderstanding here."
Song Yueting, who had remained silent, leaned slightly from the soft chair and said, "Then I want to have a good talk with Shopkeeper Gu."
After saying this, everyone exited the private room in an orderly manner, leaving Gu Qingdai where she was.
Song Yueting gave her a look that meant he could sit down. Gu Qingdai hesitated a little. She really didn't understand his intention, and they were the only two people left in the private room.
"Are you afraid of me?" Song Yueting chuckled condescendingly.
Gu Qingdai deliberately kept a low profile, "Of course I'm afraid. I've made Mr. Song unhappy today. Do I want to continue running this teahouse?"
"It's not just once or twice that you've made me unhappy. Let's sit down and settle the score."
"It's okay to settle accounts, but don't let your subordinates use violence in my teahouse, otherwise..."
Gu Qingdai was secretly discouraged. She couldn't really break up with Song Yueting. Caobang was always unreasonable.
"Looking at the whole Luancheng, your teahouse is the most popular in my heart. I will have to come here often in the future."
After hearing what Song Yueting said, Gu Qingdai slowly sat down opposite him.
"There's nothing wrong with my pastry, why do you have to do this?"
Song Yueting stretched his long legs outside the table, "Every time Shopkeeper Gu sees me, he wishes he was thousands of miles away from me. It takes so much effort to say a few words to you."
"What's the matter?" Gu Qingdai quibbled with her eyes widened.
"Tell me, did you ask Lian Beichuan to look for someone near the dock?" Song Yueting's authority suddenly appeared, showing a fierce expression.
