Chapter 1135: The Boss Is Out (3)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Yan Xue received a message from the cross-eyed hooligan when she was having food with Yu Ting. She felt a little strange because she told him not to contact her if there was nothing important.

But he texted her at this moment. Was something wrong?

Yan Xue made an excuse to go to the restroom and opened the message.

The first thing she saw was a note with lively and vigorous calligraphy.

The first line was a receipt for a hundred thousand yuan.

The second line mentioned her name—Yan Xue, I know what you have done to me. I’m looking forward to meeting you and I’ll love you well. 

—Miss Yan, she seemed to know everything, and this is what she asked us to give you.

Yan Xue narrowed her eyes. How did she know that?

Impossible…

Had those people betrayed her?

Yan Xue only intended to cause some trouble for her and didn’t think much. She hired those people by herself…

Yan Xue stared at the picture on her screen. The tips of her fingers paled due to pressure.

Was she provoking her?

…

Qiao Qi’s bar was called “Qi Yun,” a combination of her and her sister’s names.

Qi Yun Bar’s turnover for one day was about seventy to eighty thousand yuan, which was not comparable to those nightclubs that could get a hundred thousand yuan easily, but was much better than the normal ones.

The bar was opened as soon as Qiao Qi was in college, because her sister’s wish was to open such a bar.

The bar could be opened in such a valuable location, which meant that the Qiao family was naturally not some kind of common family.

It was already the middle of night when Ming Shu returned to the Qiao family with lobsters as takeout. The light in the living room was still on, and as soon as she walked in, a strong, loud voice sounded.

“Little Qi, you are back.”

“Dad,” Ming Shu responded.

“What’s the smell?”

“Lobsters…”

“Great, I happen to feel hungry as well, come here and let’s have them together.” The middle-aged man on the sofa pushed his glasses up a little and waved Ming Shu over to share the food.

Ming Shu: “…”

I don’t want to share with you, actually. 

But anyway, she and Qiao Cheng (the Host’s father) sat on the floor in the living room and shared the lobsters. Qiao Cheng even opened a beer.

Qiao Cheng cracked the lobster very quickly and could spare time to chat with Ming Shu. “How’s the business doing recently? Why are you home so early today?”

Ming Shu watched the lobsters reduce in number at a fast speed and also quickened her pace. “It’s just normal. I’ve got someone watching the bar.”

Father Qiao nodded. “Alas, I know you did all of this for Little Yun, but your sister has been gone for years, and it’s time for you to let go. The Qiao family will have to rely on you…”

“We can get you a live-in son-in-law.” The little goblin must be very glad to do that.

Qiao Cheng gave a look to Qiao Cheng. Seeing the lobsters were almost gone, he reached out quickly and grabbed one, scooping out its content in just two or three moves. Then the next one.

The last one.

Ming Shu and Qiao Cheng looked at each other and reached out their evil claws at the same time toward the innocent lobster.

Ming Shu caught its head while Qiao Cheng grabbed its tail.

“Little Qi! I am your father.”

“Father! I’m your daughter.”

They pulled hard in opposite directions with competitive eyes.

“What are you two eating here!”

Qiao Cheng’s tiger body shivered and stiffened at the tone. Ming Shu took the chance to pull in a rush and grabbed the lobster, then ate it quickly.

“Wife, our daughter invited me to have lobsters, I just couldn’t say no to her kindness.” Qiao Cheng quickly pushed the beer to Ming Shu’s side.

Cui Yuhui gave an angry look to both Ming Shu and Qiao Cheng. “You eat such unhealthy food this late, do you want your health or not?”

Qiao Cheng echoed immediately, “Right, right, right, I’ll seriously criticize Little Qi. Little Qi, don’t eat such food in the future, it’s not good for your health. Do you hear that?”

Ming Shu: “…” He is my biological father!

Ming Shu got a serious lecture and was ordered by Cui Yuhui not to eat such food again, then was driven upstairs.

The next morning, Qiao Cheng gave Ming Shu two small cakes secretly. They were very mini and Ming Shu could finish two in one mouthful.

“Don’t let your mother see this, or she’ll curse us again.”

After finishing this sentence, Qiao Cheng darted out of the door like the wind and got into the car to go to work.

“Has your dad left?” Cui Yuhui came out of the kitchen. “How come six of my cakes are missing? Did he take them?”

Ming Shu, who was holding two cakes, hid them behind her back and nodded heavily. “Yes.”

He took six but only shared two with her!

“Old Qiao! The cakes are my homework…” Cui Yuhui murmured. “Little Qi, won’t you sleep a little longer?”

“I’m hungry.”

Cui Yuhui hurriedly said, “Go wash yourself, I’ll make some juice and then let’s have breakfast.”

Cui Yuhui had a job at first, but Qiao Cheng’s physical condition got worse and worse, so Cui Yuhui quit her job and stayed at home. She signed up for all kinds of interest-oriented classes for health maintenance and helped nurse Qiao Cheng’s body.

The Host also had to nurse her body due to joint liability.

After breakfast, Cui Yuhui went out; Ming Shu returned upstairs and stood before her own door for a moment, then turned to the room next door.

This was Qiao Yun’s room.

The arrangement inside was the same as when Qiao Yun was alive. Cui Yuhui would come in and do the cleaning regularly.

Qiao Yun had been dead for nearly four years. Such a long time had passed, how could she find the murderer?

…

The bar lost many things in the earlier chaos, so Ming Shu went to repurchase some equipment in the afternoon.

In that case, the bar couldn’t open today, either. Ming Shu had to notify her staff that they could just have one more day off.

Ming Shu watched workers install everything properly, then locked the door and left.

Right now it was already night and the whole street was occupied by bright lights. Groups of people walked into different places together for fun, getting drunk and high in different spheres.

Ming Shu looked at the brilliant sign on the opposite building and was amazed by the magnificent scene.

If I have money—

I’ll go buy snacks. 

“Are you from this bar?”

A cold and clear voice sounded from the side. Ming Shu turned her head to see a tall and thin boy carrying a guitar, standing sideways. The light shone on one side of his face, and the other half was hidden in the shadow.

His entire person seemed to have been divided by light and shadow.

Ming Shu turned around and looked at the closed Qi Yun Bar. “Yes, what’s the matter?”

It seemed the boy gave her a look before saying unhurriedly, “Weren’t you recruiting bar-stationed singers? You told me to come today.”

Ming Shu wasn’t in charge of these things, so she asked others in the working group. Someone answered it was true, and it was agreed on today, but the bar went through something unexpected… so he forgot about it.

Ming Shu put away her phone. “We are not opening today. Someone will notify you when we open it.”

The boy didn’t say anything then, and turned around to walk straight away. He walked very fast, disappearing into the scene of debauchery in almost the blink of an eye.

Ming Shu twitched her mouth, then left in another direction.

Lobster, I’m coming!

Yet Ming Shu didn’t have time to date her lobsters because Cui Yuhui called her later and told her to go to a buffet party.

What’s good about attending a buffet party? Ming Shu thought with disdain… and agreed.

If she didn’t go, Cui Yuhui would be angered enough to quit cooking for three days. Indeed, she would not prepare food for her.

The previous memory of this was very impactful to the Host.

It was a total nightmare.

Mister Qiao Cheng pitied her for that very much.

Cui Yuhui cooked very well and Ming Shu didn’t want to offend her long-term meal ticket.

There would be food at the party anyway…

Thus Ming Shu went to the party obediently.

But as she arrived there, she discovered that she was being too naive.
