I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 188: Childhood sweethearts are bitter at first and then sweet (Thanks to the leader, Cucumber Nougat!)

"Huh? You said you are really in love with An Nuannuan?"

Shanghai University of Science and Technology.

As if He Qiang had seen a ghost, he looked at Xu Musen in disbelief.

"Are you surprised? Didn't you always ask when we would get together before?"

Xu Musen chuckled and sat with him on a bench in the business district of his school.

When He Qiang heard the news that Xu Musen said that he was with An Nuannuan, he didn't accept it for a while.

"I always feel that you two haven't known each other for a long time. I thought you would continue to get along until your sophomore year before falling in love."

"It's been more than half a year, and the time is not short."

Xu Musen shook his head and said, in today's fast-paced society, two people can get along day and night for more than half a year without knowing whether they are in a relationship. In fact, the progress is already very slow.

For many people, it may take less than a month from falling in love to breaking up.

"Then you are in love with her. What did you and Yao Mingyue say?"

He Qiang clicked his tongue, how could he say that he has been his childhood sweetheart for so many years.

Xu Musen has liked her for so many years, and he knows his good brother too well.

It was impossible for him to completely let go of Yao Mingyue.

"She doesn't know yet, but Nuannuan and I only confirmed our relationship yesterday."

Mentioning Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen was slightly silent for a moment.

"Tsk, tsk, just tell me, are you really planning to give up on Yao Mingyue completely?"

He Qiang couldn't help but ask.

"We have never been in love before, we are just childhood sweethearts."

"Tch, you can lie to yourself, but don't lie to your buddies, let alone you. Do you think Yao Mingyue has such a temper? If she knew you were in love, how could she and you be so peaceful as childhood sweethearts?"

After all, He Qiang had been with them for so many years and had some understanding of Yao Mingyue's temper.

Scary possessive.

Xu Musen was just silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I will not regret this choice."

He Qiang scratched his head: "I don't understand what you people think, and An Nuannuan is indeed very good, she is beautiful, she is a rich woman, and she is very obedient to you. In fact, you would choose her." Not surprising, as for Yao Mingyue, although you two are not in love, the relationship between your two families is here. I advise you to have a good talk with her to avoid any unpleasantness at home..."

He Qiang, a bachelor, no longer thought of as a dog-headed military advisor, and patted Xu Musen on the shoulder.

Xu Musen smiled. He naturally knew that the matter between him and Yao Mingyue was actually not just a matter of their personal relationship.

The relationship between the two families is far closer than that of relatives. Coupled with the accident six years ago, the two families have a feeling of life-and-death friendship.

If the matter between Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue is not handled well, it is very likely that the two families will have some discord.

This is what no one wants to see.

"Stop talking about me. What about you? How are you and that Sichuan girl getting along now?"

Xu Musen changed the subject and asked him with a smile.

He Qiang suddenly coughed dryly: "What else can I do? Just like that."

"If you ask me, you should probably take the initiative. She is very good to you, but you don't have any thoughts about her?"

Xu Musen's eyes moved slightly, looking behind him, a figure had already walked over.

He Qiang touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "I always feel that something is missing..."

"What's so close? Do you think she's not pretty enough?" Xu Musen asked with a smile.

"That's not true. In fact, she is quite good-looking."

"Are you dissing someone's bad skin or being short of height?"

"Go on, who has the nerve to laugh at me with my skin color? And she's not short either. I don't like girls who are taller than me. It's too oppressive."

"Then why are you hesitating? Are you afraid that Sichuan girl has a bad character and her family status will not be guaranteed in the future?"

Xu Musen said with a smile.

"Bah! With my temper like this, it's impossible for me to be afraid of my wife in the future. Let me show you what it means to be a real man who fishes alone for eternity!"

He Qiang said and glanced at him again: "And I remember that An Nuannuan is also half Sichuan and Chongqing. Aren't you afraid that she will make you kneel on the washboard?"

"She? She listens to me."

Xu Musen said, with An Nuannuan's temperament, let alone a washboard, he probably wouldn't even be willing to scold him.

Of course, rabbits will bite when they are anxious, and An Nuannuan seems to like biting him.

Xu Musen held back a smile and spoke.

"Then why are you hesitating? They are very kind to you, and you are almost ready."

He Qiang touched his head in confusion.

"I know she is good to me, but you know me, I have never been in love before, and I know how to fish. I am afraid that I will not get along with her. It will be bad if I offend her again, otherwise all my friends will do the same. It’s not possible…”

He Qiang's current expression made Xu Musen seem to see himself looking both head and tail.

"Friends? There is no pure friendship between men and women."

"Haha, didn't some people used to clamor to be good friends for life?"

"So our friendship has deteriorated."

Xu Musen said cheerfully.

"……Depend on!"

He Qiang was extremely depressed: "What a big deal."

"It's great to have a girlfriend. If you don't accept it, go ahead and confess it, I'm afraid some people won't dare!"

Xu Musen squeezed him shamelessly.

"Damn! Who says I don't dare! Just wait for me to find a chance, and I'll take her down hard..."

Before He Qiang finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little hairy on his back, and the sunlight behind him was blocked by others.

There was also Xu Musen’s uncontrollable smile.

Before he could even turn his head, a hand had already pinched his ear.

Chu Wenhui had already appeared behind him. Her delicate cheeks were a little shy and red, but she was still very impressive.

"Who do you think you want to take down hard?"

Chu Wenhui heard everything she said just now. Of course, it was all Xu Musen's deliberate cliché.

He Qiang also covered his ears and looked at him resentfully like a good friend.

You damn bitch! You actually betrayed your brother!

Xu Musen happily ate the melon, and suddenly realized that Zhu Yulan deliberately tricked him like this yesterday.

"I...I didn't tell you."

He Qiang explained begging for mercy.

But when Chu Wenhui heard these words, she glared and pinched his ears harder: "What! Then who are you talking about!"

This tone is like catching someone raping.

He Qiang screamed in pain and admitted his mistake again and again: "I was wrong, I was wrong. In fact, I was talking about you..."

"Okay! You actually have such thoughts about me. I really misjudged you!"

Chu Wenhui blushed and pinched her again. He Qiang was speechless. He would die anyway, right?

Xu Musen looked on and sighed, He Qiang, a boring gourd, needed someone with such a personality to suppress him.

After exchanging a few words, the three of them looked at the commercial street.

Although HKUST is not as good as Huda and Fudan, it is not small in scale, and this commercial street is bustling.

Xu Musen took a look and found that there was already a milk tea shop on this street, and the business seemed to be average.

This is quite difficult to do.

The purpose of coming today was also told to He Qiang.

He Qiang rubbed his ears and said: "This milk tea shop has been open for many years, and the business is usually so-so. The taste is too little, and the proprietress of this shop is a menopausal woman, a fierce bunch. If it hadn't been for selling so cheaply, the business would have died down a long time ago."

Xu Musen also observed it for a while. This milk tea shop was just an old-fashioned milk tea shop with very few varieties.

The customer flow is reasonable. This kind of store is the most difficult to deal with. If you want to buy it directly, the other party will definitely have the courage to open its mouth.

If you directly open a new store, you will definitely have to fight a price war, which will hurt both sides in the early stage.

Xu Musen needs to speed up the opening of branches now, and strives to open his own milk tea shops and takeaway businesses in all the colleges and universities in Shanghai before the Chinese New Year. Therefore, the cost of each store must be controlled within a reasonable range.

Xu Musen thought for a while and stood up: "Let's go, let's buy a cup of milk tea to try too."

The three people walked into the store and found that the person making milk tea was a middle-aged aunt with a loud voice. Every time she made a cup of milk tea, she would call for people to come and get it.

It seems that the only milk tea in the milk tea shop is traditional milk tea. At most, you can add some juice powder to change it to other flavors.

The aunt looks like she has a bad temper. Store owner Xu Musen has seen this kind of thing a lot.

This is how rumors spread about many Internet celebrity restaurants in my previous life. The old lady who sold egg burgers and the boss who sold pork intestines for more than 100 yuan a pound also shouted that they should not eat if they could not afford it. Later, they posted a video saying that they were almost beaten. With a pig's head, his eyes are much clearer.

However, stores with bad-tempered bosses generally have several characteristics.

That is a small store, there are no competing products around, or the product is really good enough, or the price is low enough.

I looked at the sign and saw that a cup of milk tea costs three yuan.

A bottle of farmer's punch sold for two yuan.

Of course, buying water is inherently profitable.

This kind of old-fashioned milk tea is actually all about technology and hard work. It is made directly with milk tea powder. The cost of a cup is estimated to be less than a few cents.

At this price, even if the boss's attitude is not so good, some people will definitely buy it. After all, most students really don't have much money in their pockets.

"Your milk tea is ready!"

The landlady shouted at the top of her lungs, put the milk tea on the counter, and lay down on the chair, watching TV and licking her nose.

Xu Musen felt uncomfortable about it, so he took out ten yuan and handed it to her.

"One dollar, I don't have any change... Do you want more? Otherwise, I'll give you two strawberries."

As the boss lady said this, she wanted to use the hand she had just used to press his nose to get him a strawberry.
"Forget it, no need."

Xu Musen shook his head.

The landlady was not humble at all. She took the ten yuan away and continued to lie down and watch TV.

Xu Musen had just seen some change in her drawer... It seemed that she liked to take advantage.

"Boss, there are too few pearls in your pearl milk tea, and the taste is a bit bland."

Someone asked in the store holding milk tea.

"It's only three yuan a cup. If you still want to drink gold, that's good. Young people, don't eat so much sugar. It's good for your health."

The landlady was speaking forcefully.

That person was speechless. I drank milk tea while riding horses and you didn't let me eat sweets?
Xu Musen smiled at the side and took a sip of the milk tea. It was indeed very bland, not that it was not sweet, but it must have been sweetened with saccharin or something like that, making it a bit bitter.

It's all low-cost stuff.

Xu Musen took a brief look at the situation in the store and already had an idea in his mind.

Put down the milk tea, this is something even a foodie like An Nuannuan might not want to drink.

"I have something else to do this afternoon. I'll treat you to dinner next time I come."

Xu Musen looked at the time, and it was almost time to agree to go shopping for clothes with Yao Mingyue.

Although Xu Musen has decided to tell her about his relationship with Nuannuan.

But I remembered what He Qiang said just now.

With Yao Mingyue's character, what would happen if she knew the news?

If it were a previous life, this yandere would really be able to do anything.

Although my choice was right.

But the relationship between the two families is here after all, and Xu Musen definitely doesn't want to watch Yao Mingyue do something stupid because of his own affairs.

I can only see if there is a gentler way to tell her...

Xu Musen let out a breath, said goodbye to them and left.

After Xu Musen left.

"Oh, what a sin..."

He Qiang looked at the back of his good brother who was leaving with thoughts, and sighed and shook his head.

But the next moment, his ears were pinched again.

"Why are you screwing me again?"

"It's already November, and you wear two sets of clothes every day. Come on, go buy two sets of clothes today."

"I have clothes...hiss, okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go."

Before He Qiang finished speaking, he was pulled up by Chu Wenhui.

It looks helpless, but actually I feel a little bit enjoying it.

……

Return to Shanghai University.

Xu Musen took out his mobile phone and looked at the chat page with Yao Mingyue. Yao Mingyue had hardly appeared during this period.

Not much news was sent.

Xu Musen paused briefly and sent her a message: "Aunt Liu asked us to buy clothes together. Do you want to go?"

There was no reply to the message after a while.

...Xu Musen suddenly felt a little inexplicably familiar.

This feeling of waiting for news.

After a while, Yao Mingyue called directly.

"Have you seen the news?" Xu Musen asked.

"Well, I'm in the library now, please wait for me."

Yao Mingyue's voice was a little dry and not as strong as before.

I always feel that Yao Mingyue has changed a lot recently.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Xu Musen responded to the message. I don't know why, maybe because he knew that he would confess everything soon, Xu Musen felt an inexplicable... guilt towards Yao Mingyue?

Although the debts from the previous life have been wiped out in the final car accident.

However, are those beautiful memories in the first two years of marriage really easy to forget?
Xu Musen thought for a while, looked in the direction of the library, and then turned back to the milk tea shop.

And the other side.

Yao Mingyue was sitting in the corner of the library. In front of her was a thick stack of planning books, and some contracts, all of which he had already calculated.

With these contracts, Xu Musen's milk tea shop and takeout can save at least 30% of the tableware fees.

He loves making money so much now, he would definitely be happy if he saw this.

At least this way, he won't be able to push himself further and further away...

Yao Mingyue coughed and her voice was hoarse. These days, she almost stayed up until twelve o'clock to finish these things.

I feel a little overheated.

She looked at the time and saw that more than ten minutes had passed.

She looked at the thing in her hand, and saw that it was still a little short. She shook her sore wrist, picked up the dark chocolate lying aside, and chewed it in her mouth again.

It's bitter, but very refreshing. This is a little trick she figured out herself.

In this way, you can pick up the energy to finish the work early, and have more time to find him...

"How many times have I told you not to eat these things."

At this time, a voice sounded from in front of her.

She raised her head and met Xu Musen's eyes.

Xu Musen came to the opposite side of her with a cup of milk tea in his hand, and subconsciously took the dark chocolate in front of her with a complicated expression.

I remember that in her previous life, Yao Mingyue liked to eat this chocolate when she was working. Pure black chocolate is very bitter, but it can refresh you and keep your mind clear.

She would forget about food and sleep every time she worked. She would work hard to finish two days of work in one day.

Because of this, she could have an extra day to pester him.

Perhaps this belongs to Yao Mingyue, bitter at first and then sweet...
