Back with Vengeance: Young Master Gu's Fierce Wife

Chapter 36
Gu Qingmei was taken back to the Gu family that day.

Although Li Huan was still a little worried, he didn't continue to ask about this matter.She knew that since Gu Qingmei had been taken back, she would naturally receive the best care.What happened that day would have been investigated as soon as possible.

After all, no matter how patriarchal the Gu family is, it is impossible for their daughter to be bullied casually.

Days fly by,

When Li Huan heard the word "Gu Qingmei" again, it was half a month later.In the past half a month, Li Huan was so busy trying to get all the design drafts out that even Gu Changyuan didn't bother to take care of her, and she naturally forgot about Gu Qingmei.

One afternoon, she received a text message from Gu Qingmei, who said she was going to treat her to dinner.

Li Huanzheng almost threw up because he was drawing design drafts all day long. After seeing the text message, he didn't even ask a gossip about why you have my number, and he replied the text message and agreed.

Since it was Gu Qingmei's treat, she naturally chose the place.

Originally, Li Huan thought that with her status as the eldest lady of the Gu family, she should be invited to those expensive restaurants, but in the end she asked her to meet at the snack street.

Snack Street...

When Li Huan saw these five words, the expression on his face was simply indescribable.It's not that she dislikes this kind of place, but she never thought that Gu Qingmei would be so... close to the people...

It's really not easy to drive a luxury car to that kind of place to attract hatred, so Li Huan simply drove there.

When they got there, Gu Qingmei was already waiting there.

Seeing Li Huan, she immediately walked over quickly, took Li Huan's arm affectionately, and said with a smile, "You're here! I was worried that you wouldn't come!"

"Why don't you come here? It's not a fool to come for free." Li Huan felt the closeness in her words, but didn't say much, just joked with a smile.

Gu Qingmei shrugged innocently, and said bluntly: "Isn't it because you are afraid that you will dislike such a small place?"

"You Miss Gu don't dislike it, but how could I, an unknown person, dislike it?" Li Huan laughed amused by her words.

The two of them, no matter how you look at it, Gu Qingmei should dislike this kind of place.

When Gu Qingmei heard her teasing herself like this, not only was she not angry, she bent her lips and smiled mysteriously, "Since we both don't dislike it, let's go, I promise you won't regret coming here!"

"Oh?" Li Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, expressing his suspicion.

This snack street looks quite ordinary. Although she doesn't dislike it, she really doesn't think there will be anything that can surprise her here.

Gu Qingmei didn't answer, she just made a gesture of secrecy.

"Yo, are you still playing with mystery?" Li Huan was a little dumbfounded when he saw this.

Gu Qingmei didn't speak, only smiled more mysteriously.

It is said that it is a snack street, but it is not just a street, but an area.Although the place is not big, there are quite a few alleys branching off from each other.Following Gu Qingmei all the way around, Li Huan felt as if he was walking in a maze. He saw that there was a high wall ahead, but when he walked to the end, he found that there was a small path beside him.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Gu Qingmei stopped in front of an unremarkable shop, "Here we are."

Li Huan glanced inside suspiciously, it was fine if he didn't look at it, but when he saw it, he was surprised from ear to ear.I saw that this humble shop was full of people, whether sitting or standing, or in pairs, or in small groups, it was indescribably lively.The voices that I heard faintly just now all came from inside.

"Business is good!" Gu Qingmei smiled and led her inside, looking familiar.

Li Huan had no choice but to follow.

There are so many people in the store, and I didn't see a free table after scanning for a long time.Li Huan had no choice but to think about persuading Gu Qingmei to change her family, but a table of people happened to stand up, looking like they were about to leave.Before Li Huan could react, Gu Qingmei rushed over and sat down.That movement was so neat that Li Huan was dumbfounded.

"You can't do this!" Gu Qingmei had a very rare childish smile on her face, "The seats here are all up for grabs."

Sure enough, a girl next to her who was too slow to grab a seat was stomping her feet in frustration, but she didn't say anything, and turned to look for the next target.

Li Huan was amazed when he saw this.

She was sure that such a lively Gu Qingmei had never even seen Gu Changyuan.After all, Gu Qingmei was very withdrawn when she was a child. When she was "Li Huan", when she met her at Gu's house, she just gave her a cold look, that's all.

After Gu Qingmei sat down, the waiter quickly came up to clean up the remaining seats and brought a menu to the two of them.Li Huan was not familiar with business, so he said a few things he didn't eat, and let the other party order, while he looked around curiously.

This is an old-fashioned hot pot restaurant. The storefront is mainly orange, which looks quite warm.

The tables were all round, big or small, with old-fashioned copper hot pots made of carbon on them. Li Huan glanced at the next table, and found that beside the pot, the vegetables on plates were arranged like works of art. Even the meat dishes are dotted with flower patterns made of vegetables.

In addition, the plates containing the materials were actually colorful and not uniform. Li Huan even found that the chopsticks in someone's hands were of different colors.

"It's very individual!" The food has already been ordered, and it will take some time for it to be delivered, Gu Qingmei turned her head to talk to Li Huan.

"Well, it's interesting." Li Huan nodded.

She has been to many stores, and there are always unusual ones, but it is rare to see such "careless" stores like this one.

After being recognized, Gu Qingmei smiled even brighter, and asked mysteriously, "Do you know the name of this store?"

"What?" Li Huan asked cooperatively.

Gu Qingmei smiled and revealed the answer, "Xiaoyaoju."

"...Huh?" Li Huan was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect to be called such an ancient name.

"A place that is independent of work, study, and communication, and completely belongs to oneself, a place where you can relax and enjoy it with all your strength." Gu Qingmei pursed her lips and gave a low laugh, explaining: "What is actually sold here is not hot pot. , but this unfettered atmosphere.”

Li Huan turned his head and looked around again, nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

Normally, a store with a lot of customers will always give people a noisy feeling, but not here.From the moment she walked in, all she could feel was an extremely relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.Under the influence of this atmosphere, even his voice couldn't help but drop several decibels.

"You should have heard that I left the family very early, right?" Gu Qingmei asked her bluntly, resting her chin lazily on one hand.

Li Huan saw that she asked calmly, so he didn't hide anything, and said directly: "I've heard about it."

"Then you should know that the reason why I left the Gu family was because I couldn't hold my breath." Gu Qingmei smiled, but the smile couldn't help showing some bitterness.

Li Huan did not speak, quietly waiting for her to continue.

Sure enough, Gu Qingmei didn't wait for her to urge her, so she continued in a low voice: "Others envy me as I am the eldest lady of the Gu family, but how do they know my pain? To be honest, when I was young, I was withdrawn and didn't like to be with others. I don’t have any hobbies, the only thing I’m interested in is all kinds of numbers.”

"That's why you want to go into business?" Li Huan followed her words and asked.

Gu Qingmei nodded, and said helplessly: "I like the feeling of numbers turning into money, so I have always wanted to go into business. But in a family like ours, the only role of girls is to marry. I don't want to, so I can only leave The family. Others thought that no matter what, I was still the young lady of the Gu family. But in fact, I was bored and went to work and study, earning a few hundred dollars. "

From a young lady who had no worries about food and clothing, in a blink of an eye, she has only a few hundred dollars left. I want to know how difficult it was for her at that time.

But Li Huan didn't sympathize with her. She knew that Gu Qingmei didn't need it, so she still asked with a smile on her face, "What happened later? How did you get through that difficult time?"

"It's not called overcoming difficulties. After all, as long as you are willing to endure hardships these days, you can always fill your stomach." Seeing that she was not like others, after knowing what happened to her, Gu Qingmei showed that hypocritical expression of sympathy. , the expression on his face became more and more sincere, and he said with a smile: "Actually, the most difficult thing at that time was the gap in my mentality."

Falling from the clouds to the mud, everyone can lift their feet to step on you. This kind of drop is really difficult.

Li Huan understood this feeling too well, but she didn't show the slightest bit on her face.

Reaching out for the water glass, she took a sip to ease her emotions, and then Gu Qingmei continued: "It was really depressing at the time, and I wanted to give up and go home several times, but I was really unwilling. Right there At that time, I came to this store by chance, and the owner saw that I was frowning, so he invited me to eat a bowl of noodles he made himself."

"It's a very ordinary bowl of Yangchun noodles, but when the old man left, he said to me that if you have hands and feet, you can eat and drink, there is nothing in life that you can't get through. Why do you have to frown? You know Is it? When I heard this, I suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment."

"This is indeed very open-minded." Li Huan thought that he could not be so open-minded, otherwise, she would not have traveled thousands of miles and rushed back from France.

Gu Qingmei nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that the old man is getting old, and he passed away due to illness within a year. But even when he passed away, he still had a smile on his face." , it’s as if this world doesn’t have any suffering at all for him.”

"You have a very good relationship with the owner of this shop."

If it wasn't for a good relationship, it would be impossible to know what he looked like when he passed away, let alone remember him until now.

Gu Qingmei smiled slightly, but the smile was a little sentimental, "Of course, I always regarded him as my own grandfather. He is actually a widowed old man. Because he has some spare money and doesn't want to live in a nursing home, he opened such a family by himself." shop."

"Then this store..." Li Huan was a little stunned.

Since the other party is a widowed old man and has passed away long ago, why is this store still open?

Gu Qingmei didn't hide anything, and directly revealed the mystery, "The old man has no relatives, and the few remaining are not related to him, so before he passed away, he had already transferred this store to me. "

For ordinary people, this store is a huge windfall. It is estimated that some narrow-minded people may think that she has premeditated it.But Li Huan knew that Gu Qingmei didn't take care of her at all.After all, as long as Gu Qingmei is soft, she can continue to be the eldest lady of the Gu family, and there is no need to count on others.
