Chapter 9 The first trump card (second update)

Guilt came over like a tide, drowning Mrs. Ren to the top in an instant.

Even when she was betrayed by that man, she had never felt so uncomfortable.

Maybe I had a premonition!

From the time she got sick, that person went from caring to becoming impatient, to not being seen for weeks or months.

When I heard the news from the housekeeper that he was going to marry his second wife, I felt like the dust had settled.

She can't interfere with that person, but she can help this young girl!

Mrs. Ren slowly let out a long breath, got out of the car, and went straight to the fruit stall, where she had mangoes, pineapples, watermelon cherries, and strawberries!

It’s all fresh fruit!

Whatever is expensive, buy it!

Finally, the driver Xiao Chen, who was in his prime, said that he couldn't lift it anymore, so Mrs. Ren stopped.

When the car arrived downstairs at Song Huanxi's house, Mrs. Ren took out a gold-plated business card from her handbag and handed it to the driver: "Put the fruit up and give her my business card."

Mrs. Ren paused and said seriously: "Tell her that if she is in trouble, she can come to me at any time!"

The young driver responded solemnly, stretched out his hands wearing white gloves, and respectfully took Mrs. Ren's business card.

This is Mrs. Ren’s promise!

Even though Mr. Ren’s main business is in Macau, who has never dealt with these rich people in Xiangjiang?

Who can resist Mr. Ren’s three-point thin noodles!

Although Mr. Ren is now the only one doting on his second wife, as long as they are not divorced, Mrs. Ren will still be Mrs. Ren!

…

After seeing off driver Chen, Song Huanxi spun around in the living room. At this moment, she was Cinderella at the Prince's Ball!

She vaguely knew that Mrs. Ren had a good background. In the past, Principal Chen had revealed in a few words that Mrs. Ren was one of the major shareholders of the school.

It's just that she didn't take care of things much before. In recent years, she chose Lion Rock to recuperate due to illness, and that's why she came to live here.

After Mrs. Ren came, the school's classrooms, equipment, and venues began to be constantly renovated.

It is said that Mrs. Ren’s next plan is to rebuild the office building.

Every renovation plan here is measured in units of tens of thousands.

Wan...

Even though Song Huanxi is so big, he still doesn’t know how thick a ten thousand dollar bill is!

She held the gilt business card in both hands, looking around with joy amid the fragrance of fruits that filled the room -

Of course, you can't use such a trump card casually. It's best to be like your father and leave your favor to future generations!

Wait, Mrs. Ren seems to be much older than her?

The girl suddenly became worried: I don’t know if Mrs. Ren’s children will recognize this promise——

Anyway, with this business card from Mrs. Ren, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Song Huanxi cheered up and looked around, always feeling that nowhere was safe.

Finally, she moved a chair, randomly picked out a book of Civil Law from a pile of law textbooks, carefully put the business card inside, and carefully put it back on the bookshelf.

Well, the neighbor of Civil Law is the guy called Jurisprudence - that wealthy upstart!

Song Huanxi felt relieved. When she looked at her home, she found that she didn't like anything at all: the curtains hadn't been washed for a long time, the windows should be wiped, and the corners were full of dust——

Before, she was busy with her preparatory law exams, so she had to do some hasty cleaning at home. Now that she has some free time, she might as well do some general cleaning!

This busy time lasts for several hours.

When she straightened up and looked at the clean and shiny room, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon!

Mrs. Ren gave enough, and Song Huanxi was rarely generous.

She picked a mango, grabbed a handful of cherries, washed three or four strawberries, orange and red, put them on a small blue and white porcelain plate, and placed them on the table in front of the window. When the sun shone, they were very pleasing to the eye.

Got it!

Song Huanxi was reluctant to eat it.

She picked up a red strawberry and took a small bite. The sweet yet sour strawberry juice bloomed in her mouth. The girl's eyes narrowed unconsciously——

It took me a full quarter of an hour to eat this small plate of fruit.

After her father died, she felt happy for the first time.

I washed another plate of fruit and put it on the table so that my siblings could eat it immediately when they came back.

At the same time, they also limited the amount of fruit they could eat. Otherwise, according to Ayun's temperament, she could finish these two large baskets of fruit in one day!

Song Huanxi washed the rice and put it on the stove. The fish was also cooked and simmered in the pot. When Ayun came back with her little brother, the rice was steamed and ready to eat.

Seeing that the hour hand was gradually approaching the five o'clock mark, she hurriedly changed into long pants and shorts——

It has long been a habit to work in a noodle shop every day to supplement the family income. Yesterday I had no choice but to ask for leave, but today I can no longer delay.

The noodle shop is not far away, just a few streets away. It only takes half an hour to walk there.

There is a garment factory and a vegetable market next to it. People come and go every day, and business is very good.

It is said that a semiconductor factory will be built here in the near future. A few days ago, a few yellow-haired Americans came to choose a site and even asked the boss for directions.

The boss said that he didn't understand their screams, so he pointed in the direction. Anyway, the most urgent thing to ask for directions was to find the toilet, so pointing in the direction of a public toilet would never go wrong.

Song Huanxi felt a little regretful. It would have been nice if she was here and she could test her current English level.

Song Huanxi is already familiar with this road. Song Huanxi clearly remembers which stores he passed along the way: next to the laundry is a roast duck restaurant, and beyond it is a longevity food store.

The owner of the laundry shop is very fierce. He always scolds the owner of the roast duck shop because the newly washed clothes smell of roast duck.

The owner of the longevity food shop is watching the fun and won't do anything.

The two bosses, one speaking Shanghainese and the other speaking Cantonese, scolded each other, and if you didn't listen carefully to the content, it sounded a bit like a duet in Western music.

Song Huanxi arrived in front of the noodle shop amidst the duet that filled the street.

Looking from a distance, the noodle shop occupies two shop spaces by itself. It is the meal time, the lights are brightly lit and there are people buzzing with people. Pingbai has a bit more fireworks than the shops next to it.

This is also an old shop. The owner and his wife started their fortune by pushing a two-wheeled cart and selling noodles.

Now I have rented a shop and opened a shop. However, I disliked the rustic style of Che Tsai Noodles and focused on wonton noodles. Even the name of the shop is Chi Kee Wonton Noodles.

The landlady is stingy, but the boss knows how to run a business and is willing to add ingredients. In the signature shrimp wonton noodles, each wonton has a complete shrimp, which is fresh and chewy, and is served with a bowl of fresh soup——

I don’t know how many gourmets have come here to taste it!

Nowadays, diners only know that Chi Kee’s wonton noodles are delicious, but they don’t know that the boss’s cart noodles are also outstanding.

Only regular customers who have been coming here since the cart days will order a bowl of cart noodles.

When Song Huanxi arrived, the tea room was already half full. The boss, sweating profusely, poked his head out of the dining opening and shouted happily: "Ah Huan! You're finally here! Come on, your Aunt Chi is here again."

The face was wrong!"

The proprietress, Aunt Chi, rolled her eyes unhappily, handed the pencil and order book into Song Huanxi's hands, and spoke dissatisfiedly:

"Why did you arrive only at a quarter past five?!"

Song Huanxi immediately responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Aunt Chi, I'll just leave for a quarter of an hour tonight."
Chapter completed!
