After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

Uncle Meng took out his reading glasses from his arms and put them on, and looked at the young man carefully.

Then he looked at the old man suspiciously, "Aren't you crazy about me?"

"Why are you crazy about me? I keep my word. With so many people watching, Old Meng, you can't even beat my grandson, can you?"

Old Meng was excited and fell into the trap immediately, "Come on, young man, let's play. Don't cry if you lose."

"..."

Perhaps it was the word grandson, this seniority that made Uncle Meng feel that Qin Ce would cry if he lost.

"It's almost dark, you can play again tomorrow." Qin Ce refused to play chess with the uncle.

The old man tugged on his sleeve, "If you help me win against him, I'll go back."

Qiao Xing also said beside him, "They made a bet. If they lose, they will call each other big brother. If they don't win that Grandpa Meng today, Grandpa Meng will definitely not go back."

The old man gave Qiao Xing an appreciative look, as if to say that you still understand me.

Qin Ce watched the two people singing and sighed helplessly, "Go back if you win?"

The old man nodded, "Of course, when did the old man lie to you?"

Uncle Meng over there was unconvinced, "Hey young man, don't be so loud. It will get dark soon, let's fight quickly."

Qin Ce didn't show any pretense and walked directly to the old man's position.

Old Man Meng thought that he could defeat Qin Ce quickly and go home for dinner in five minutes at most. However, as the rain fell, the old man realized that something was wrong.

He took out his reading glasses and stood ready for battle. It would be a shame for him to lose to the juniors.

Qin Ce still looked neither salty nor indifferent, even slightly impatient because Old Meng had been thinking for too long.

He kind of hates playing chess with these old men. His brain can't keep up, and his hands can't keep up, but he's both good at it and loves to play.

It took a little longer than Old Meng thought, it took 8 minutes, but he lost.

Old Meng looked in disbelief. He stared at Qin Ce and then at Mr. Qin.

The old man was smiling proudly and proudly next to him, just like a kindergarten kid fighting and his parents coming to support him.

He did not believe in evil and continued to play. As soon as the chessboard was placed, his children came and called him back.

Old Meng didn't want to leave at first, but he was scolded and had to stay and fight again tomorrow.

The old man won and felt instantly relieved. He was smiling when he went back. He didn't refuse the medicine and drank it with a smile.

Qiao Xing looked at him and couldn't help but smile.

Qin Ce prepared the meal and brought it out, and everyone ate together. Qiao Xing went for a walk with him as usual.

Qiao Xing felt that it was almost time to move in, but Qin Ce still felt that the formaldehyde had not been completely dissipated, so he asked her to wait two more months.

I have no choice but to continue living in the original house.

Now Qin Ce sleeps in a separate room with her. Qiao Xing goes back to his room after taking a shower at night. He has to go to the study to work for a while before going to sleep. When he gets up the next morning, he basically can't see anyone else.

Wang Ye has secured the store. The owner of that store will not expire until the end of the month, but he plans to start moving in the middle of the month. He will sell the items in the store at a discount during this half month.

Of course, Wang Ye has not been idle in the past half month. He went to inspect those small hot pot restaurants to see what kind of dishes they had, and secretly wrote down the prices.

There was also the equipment, which took time to buy and ship online. He would discuss with Qiao Xing when he had nothing to do about what kind of dining table and what kind of freezer to buy.

He also wanted to talk about decoration with Qiao Xing, and Qiao Xing also got busy with him.

A month later, the owner of the store moved out, and he was busy renovating the store. All the decorations in the store had to be redone.

Whether it is decoration or buying equipment, these need to be listed and then go to Qin Ce to apply for funds.

Qin Ce no longer cares about this matter. Wang Ye is in contact with the investment department of his company, so he is not as easy to talk to as Qin Ce, so he has to ask Qiao Xing for help.

Qiao Xing went with him to several decoration companies, asked them for quotations, looked at the places they decorated, and finally chose one with a suitable price and decided on the decoration style.

A good decoration can put guests in a happy mood, make people feel comfortable on the outside, and only when they think it tastes delicious will they come in.

Wang Ye recorded on the computer that the price of all-inclusive decoration is 8.

He asked Qiao Xing about the equipment, "How about we buy second-hand ones? We can buy them for a few thousand yuan."

"Buy second-hand?"

Wang Ye nodded, "Yes, like freezers, I think as long as they can be used, new or old ones are not a big problem."

"That's what you say, but when you open a new store and customers come in and see that all your stuff is old, will it leave a bad impression?"

"No, it looks new on the surface, but the hardware inside is old and you can't tell."

Qiao Xing nodded, thinking it would be feasible at that time, "It's up to you to decide. Aren't you the boss now?"

Wang Ye touched his chin and took out his mobile phone to call Bai Yi.

Qiao Xing twitched the corner of his mouth. Looking at the way he was chatting seriously with Bai Yi, this man seemed to be relying more and more on Bai Yi. He would ask Bai Yi for any uncertain ideas.

But if you ask him how far he and Bai Yi have developed, he will definitely say that it's just like that, Bai Yi still owes him money.

Qiao Xing suddenly looked forward to what Bai Yi would look like on the day when he really paid back the money.

After Wang Ye finished the call, he looked back and saw the charming smile on Qiao Xing's lips, staring at her suspiciously, "What's your expression?"

Qiao Xing smiled and said, "I don't have any expression. Didn't Bai Yi say that she would come back before? I'm still waiting for her to treat me to dinner."

"Oh, she said she wanted to come back, but the store was so busy that she couldn't leave, so she pushed her back. Look, you're already asking. That guy Linlin is asking me three hundred times a day now."

"Well, when you open the business, she will have to come back."

"Not necessarily."

Qiao Xing sighed, "Cousin, do you really have no feelings for her?"

Wang Ye asked in confusion, "What does it feel like?"

"Is it just that you don't like her?"

"Why do I like her? Cousin, I think you are too idle. Are you feeling depressed because you are not at work?"

Qiao Xing curled her lips, "I see that she is so busy now. She will definitely make a fortune this year. Maybe she can pay your money back by the end of the year. Are you happy?"

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, "Did she tell you?"

"Yes, that's what she told me. She said she would try to pay your money back at the end of the year, so that you wouldn't be unhappy with her every day."

As soon as Qiao Xing finished speaking, Wang Ye subconsciously retorted, "When did I dislike her? Why is she talking nonsense!"

Qiao Xing blinked and looked at him amusedly.

"Why are you so excited?"

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment again, his face a little uncomfortable, and he said uncomfortably, "I, I am just angry, she is actually spreading rumors outside! This woman has gone too far!"
