A hint of panic appeared on her face.
Although she had never dealt with Mo Cheng Feng face to face before, they were still considered to be in the same industry. MH Group had a few F&B establishments under him and GDB had a few cafes and restaurants.
If she could identify Mo Cheng Feng, then it would not be impossible for him to recognize her too.
If this man tell Qin Zhan who she was, then, she would be in deep trouble.
There was no way that anyone going to believe that she, the person who had authority in GDB would come to work in a small noodle stall to experience life.
Qin Zhan would be upset and he would not listen to her reasons.
Perhaps, if he was generous, he will not chase her with his cleaver and would ask her to leave nicely.
At this time, Gu Xin Ye realized that telling a lie and trying to keep it was very hard to do. Although the reason she had worked for Qin Zhan began with a misunderstanding, she was still guilty of lying to him.
However, at this time, Gu Xin Ye did not want to expose herself.
She had stayed and gone through this hardship for a week. She finally learned a little more about Qin Zhan and was very sure that she could grasp his weakness soon. The most important thing was to have him work for her restaurant.
The company that her father had build-up was still in another's hand.
She did not want to give up easily.
With those thoughts, Gu Xin Ye continued to lower her head, avoiding others from seeing her. Her hand clenched on the sponge in her hand, scrubbing the pot diligently.
Once in a while. Gu Xin Ye raised her head to peek at what was going on.
Qin Zhan, Li Jun Xuan, and that woman called Qian Lin continued to speak something in a low voice. Gu Xin Ye did not know what they were speaking but judging from the way they acted, it seemed that the three of them had known each other for a long time.
A slight frown appeared on her face. Gu Xin Ye thought that she should let Shen Yi Nian look into this matter for her.
Soon enough, the family of four went back into their vehicle and left with Li Jun Xuan.
A puzzled look appeared on her face as Gu Xin Ye watched them leave the area.
Didn't they come here to see Qin Zhan? Why are they leaving so quickly?
"Alright, let's clean up faster so we can go back home soon." Qin Zhan said as he returned. His eyes swept the area and he picked up a big stockpot that Gu Xin Ye had cleaned up earlier and placed it on the side.
"Little Uncle, who are those people?" Luo Qi asked.
"My friends."
"I've never seen them before." Luo Qi raised a brow as she gave her uncle a lookover. The way she was looking at Qin Zhan was as if she did not believe his words.
"They're staying in the city. Of course, you haven't seen them before," Qin Zhan said. "That girl is Grandpa Qian's granddaughter. You should have heard about her."
The girl's mouth formed a large 'O'. Grandpa Qian often spoke about his granddaughter and her great-grandchildren. As Luo Qi had come to the stall to help Grandpa Chen in the past, she had often heard about Grandpa Qian's granddaughter.
Grandpa Qian's granddaughter had a certain reputation in Z Town as a little gangster. Previously, Luo Qi had heard Grandpa Chen mention how Grandpa Qian's granddaughter and Uncle Li's son had created havoc and fought some people in town.
Rumor has it that Grandpa Qian had to drag her granddaughter to the police station to discipline her after she had led a few of her friends to fight.
Luo Qi was starting to believe that it was nothing but slander.
Grandpa Qian's granddaughter seemed too gentle to be a gangster.
Luo Qi snapped out of her trance and saw that her little uncle was staring in the direction where the vehicle had left.
"Oh." Luo Qi dragged her tone. There was a teasing look on Luo Qi's gaze as she looked at her uncle. "Uncle, It couldn't be that you had a crush on that big sister in the past, right?"
Qin Zhan let out a low chuckle. "You called me uncle but addressed that woman as big sister? Luo Qi, aren't you messing up with the seniority?"
Luo Qi clicked her tongue. Although she felt that the woman was a little too young, it seemed that she was married and had two kids. Moreover, the daughter looked a little older.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Zhan flicked on the girl's forehead, realizing that the girl's mind had drifted somewhere else.
Luo Qi looked at her uncle with concern. "Uncle, I'm very worried about you. You see, even your friend is married with kids. What about you? You don't even have a girlfriend."
Qin Zhan stretched his hand and pinched at the girl's cheek until the girl begged him to let go. "If I have a girlfriend, will I have time to look for you and your brother?" He let out a snort and walked to another side to clean up. "Stop thinking too much. Help me clean up quickly. I still have a few matters to attend to.
Gu Xin Ye listened to the uncle and niece's conversation quietly.
Once everything was cleaned up, she took her pay and head back to Auntie Li's B&B. She took a shower and pounded her shoulder as she texted Shen Yi Nian and ask for her favor.
Her body was still aching after working too hard. Gu Xin Ye was still wondering whether she should head to the west side of the city on Monday and had another spa session.
As the sky almost turned dark, Gu Xin Ye planned to head out to find something for dinner. However, she ran into Auntie Li in the lobby.
"Miss Gu, are you heading out for dinner?"
Gu Xin Ye flashed her a smile. "Mhmm..."
"If you don't mind, you can stay around and have dinner here. Coincidentally, I cooked some extra food. It would be enough for everyone to eat together."
Gu Xin Ye could smell the delicious food that Auntie Li cooked. She was a little tired after working on the weekend shift in the noodle stall. Thinking about the work pile that she still had to look at, Gu Xin Ye quickly agreed. Her plan was to eat quickly, look at her documents, and go to bed early.
However, as she walked into the dining area, she found that Qin Zhan, Li Jun Xuan, and Mo Cheng Feng's wife were seated together at a table.
Her movement halted. Gu Xin Ye wondered if she should walk in or leave.
Thank you for your support~
Before she could make her decision, Auntie Li appeared again and urged her to take a seat.
In the end, Gu Xin Ye chose a seat far from their table and sit down. It was best to pretend that she did not know them. However, although she had kept her distance, Gu Xin Ye could still feel Qin Zhan and Li Jun Xuan's eyes on her.
Gu Xin Ye took out her phone and started to text her friend, Shen Yi Nian to avoid feeling awkward. Anyway, the most important thing was to avoid Mo Cheng Feng. The others might not know her identity but Mo Cheng Feng most probably would know her.
Meanwhile, Qian Lin looked at her friends and saw that the two of them were looking at that woman. A light appeared in her eyes and the corner of her lips turned into an amused smile.
"Alright, stop looking already." Qian Lin chuckled.
The two men looked away quickly. However, when they saw the suggestive look on Qian Lin's face, they immediately knew that their friend had misunderstood things. They wanted to explain but couldn't find any words to say. They were afraid that the more they speak, Qian Lin would definitely misunderstand them.
However, both Qin Zhan and Li Jun Xuan had their own thoughts regarding Gu Xin Ye.
The girl has been working for Qin Zhan for a week but they still haven't figured out what this girl was planning to do.
From the very beginning, Gu Xin Ye agreed to part-time at the noodle stall, Qin Zhan and Li Jun Xuan had thought that the girl was hiding something.
Although Luo Qi said that it was not unusual for someone to take a part-time job while they were on a vacation, Qin Zhan was not that stupid.
The past few days, he has been observing this woman.
However, she only came to work at his noodle stall and went back to the B&B. So far, Gu Xin Ye had not tried to do anything that would raise his suspicion.
At this time, Qin Zhan was almost convinced that Gu Xin Ye was too bored with her daily life that she had decided to experience life and suffer at his noodle stall.
He really could not understand what this girl was thinking about.
Qian Lin turned to Qin Zhan and spoke, "Qin Zhan, what do you want to do now? Are you planning to return to the family?"
"Lin Lin, what are you saying?" Li Jun Xuan had a displeased look on his face. "I don't agree for him to return. A long time has passed. But the Zhou family only thinks to look for Qin Zhan now. I think they are plotting something."
Qian Lin flashed an annoyed look at her friend. "You shut up. Is this matter related to you or Qin Zhan?"
Li Jun Xuan was scolded by this former gangster and started to shrink his neck. It seemed that no matter how many years has passed, he would still be afraid of Qian Lin.
"In the end, the person who had to make a decision is you," Qian Lin said.
Qin Zhan looked at his friends as he ran his finger on the glass. "Why would I want to return? They obviously did not want me to return."
"But not too long ago, you said that you are ready to return to the family," Qian Lin pointed out.
Qin Zhan pursed his lips into a thin line. "Well, I changed my mind."
"Then, are you planning to stay in this town and look after Grandpa Chen's noodle stall forever?" Qian Lin tilted her head to one side. "Or are you planning to return to Capital City soon? Didn't you tell us that your boss would let you return to work whenever you are ready to return?"
Qin Zhan narrowed his eyes at Li Jun Xuan. If this person did not say anything to Qian Lin, would this girl return to Z Town to scold him?
Li Jun Xuan knew well that he would be weak against Qian Lin. No matter what the girl said, he would not dare to go against her words.
Qin Zhan was someone who grew up in an orphanage after his parents passed away. The place he was sent to was not a good place.
There were a lot of kids around and the caretakers were abusive. Once he grew older enough, Qin Zhan had run away and escaped from this orphanage.
He had little money with him.
At that time, Qin Zhan had snuck into a lorry until he arrived in Z Town.
He had no place to go and continued to walk around aimlessly. The people continued to look at him in disgust.
In the end, he arrived at Grandpa Chen's noodle stall.
The delicious smell from the beef broth was too tempting. Qin Zhan knew that he did not have enough money to enjoy this bowl of delicacies. He could only stand at the roadside while watching the old man pulling the noodles.
Who would have thought that the old man would notice his action?
Grandpa Chen made him a bowl of noodles and had asked his daughter to send them to him. She told him that he did not have to pay.
Qin Zhan was too hungry and had finished the bowl of noodles quickly.
He wanted to thank Grandpa Chen for the food and waited until the customers had left.
When he finally spoke to Grandpa Chen, the old man had offered for him to stay with him. The old man said that as long as he could come and help him at the noodle stall, he would be given a place to stay and food to eat.
Later, he met with Qian Lin and Li Jun Xuan, the two troublemakers while he was helping Grandpa Chen at his noodle stall.
Qian Lin's grandpa and Li Jun Xuan's father were policemen and would frequently bring them to eat at the noodle stall.
Since they were around the same age, Grandpa Chen had asked them to look after him.
Qin Zhan did not want to get along with them. However, on that day when he was bullied by that bunch of kids, it was Qian Lin and Li Jun Xuan who had shown up to help him.
He watched as Qian Lin beat a few young boys until they were badly injured. Because she was trying to help him, Qian Lin was punished severely by her grandfather.
Qin Zhan later learned that Qian Lin was someone like him. Her parents were no longer around.
Since then, they became closer. Qian Lin became someone that he looked up to.
A little on Qin Zhan's background and their friendship.
I thought about it and figured that it's time to write a little bit on his thought as well. What do you think?
Thank you for your support~
