Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

After returning home with Jiang Ru, Dong Jialin brought Dong Jiafu and Feng Jiyuan to the restaurant.

After Feng Jiyuan entered the restaurant, he looked around and praised, "I never thought that you would open such a big restaurant less than a year after I left."

Dong Jialin is now successful in both his love life and career. "I have wanted to open a restaurant for a long time, but I just waited for the right opportunity until today."

"Your business is so big, won't you become one of the richest businessmen in the capital in the future?"

"Thank you for your good words, but I still have a long way to go to achieve that."

Dong Jialin took them to a private room and called the waiter to order some wine and food.

After all the dishes were served, Dong Jialin toasted Feng Jiyuan with wine first.

"Here, I'll toast you with this first glass of wine. Thank you for coming all the way to attend my wedding."

"You and I are brothers, and on such an important day, of course I have to be there."

The two men drank the wine in their glasses.

"I never thought that you would be the first one among us to get married." Feng Jiyuan sighed.

"Not only you, but I myself didn't expect this." Dong Jialin smiled, "Who made me meet Ru'er..."

Feng Jiyuan said with a sigh, "How come you've become a different person right after you got married?"

"You will understand the beauty of it when you get married," Dong Jialin said with a tone of an experienced person, and joined the ranks of urging marriage, "It won't be long before even A-Fu will get married, so it's time for you to find a marriage."

Hearing this, Feng Jiyuan couldn't help but glance at Dong Jiafu who was sitting opposite him, "This matter cannot be forced, let's just let it take its course."

"You can't just focus on your official duties over there. Go out more often in your free time. Maybe you can meet a girl you like. If you stay in the county government office all day, even if a girl comes, she will probably come to you to seek justice."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Feng Jiyuan replied with a smile, and then he added, "I have to leave tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back on A-Fu's wedding day."

Dong Jiafu said, "Business is more important. We can meet at another time. Are you doing well in Linqing County these days?"

Feng Jiyuan nodded, "I'm fine. I've been there many times before and I'm familiar with the place."

"It is a blessing for the people of Linqing County to have you here."

"I dare not say that, but some of the things that the previous County Magistrate Yang did did make the people miserable. I just did what I should do as a county magistrate."

"Stop talking and try my food." Dong Jialin called out.

Feng Jiyuan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. "It tastes really good."

"If it's delicious, eat more. You won't be able to eat such authentic food when you return to Yangzhou."

Halfway through the meal, the shopkeeper came over and asked Dong Jialin to go downstairs.

Dong Jialin apologized to Feng Jiyuan, "The restaurant has just opened, and there are some things that have not been sorted out. I will go downstairs to take a look and will be back soon. You and Afu can eat first."

Feng Jiyuan said gently, "Just go ahead. There's no need for us to be so formal."

After Dong Jialin left, Feng Jiyuan picked up the wine glass and said, "Afu, I can't be there on your wedding day, but I'd like to congratulate you here. I wish you and Mr. Cui a happy marriage and a long-lasting love."

"Thank you." Dong Jiafu drank a glass of wine with him.

"Seeing that you and Jialin are doing so well now, I am happy for you too."

"You will also have your own destiny."

Feng Jiyuan smiled and said, "You are right."

Not long after, Dong Jialin came back, and the three of them had a great time chatting about everything under the sun.

The next day, Feng Jiyuan set out to return to Yangzhou, and Dong Jiafu and her family went to see him off.

Usually during the day, the other three people are busy with their own things, and Xu Yiwan sometimes feels bored when she is alone at home. Now that Jiang Ru is married to her, she can not only talk to her but also help her with housework.

Xu Yiwan didn't like to care about these things in the first place. Seeing that Jiang Ru handled it with ease, she was happy to let go and concentrated on preparing a dowry for Dong Jiafu.

Dong Jialin has been in the restaurant most of the time recently, and today someone came who he didn't expect.

"Boss, this girl is looking for you." The waiter called Dong Jialin down from upstairs.

When Dong Jialin saw that the person who wanted to see him was Qin Fangsui, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

"Miss Qin, if you want to eat at our restaurant, please feel free to do so."

"I'm not here to eat, but to discuss business with Boss Dong." Qin Fangsui said, looking straight into his eyes.

Dong Jialin frowned, thinking he had heard wrongly. What a joke, talking about business with him? She was going to ruin his business soon, and he would not forget it so quickly.

"I don't know what to talk about with Miss Qin, please go back." Dong Jialin directly ordered her to leave and didn't want to have anything to do with her at all.

Qin Fangsui said, "I thought Boss Dong was a clear-headed businessman, but I didn't expect him to be so impulsive and refuse to do business that was delivered to his door. I guess I made a mistake in choosing him. I'll rent the shop opposite to someone else."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. Dong Jialin quickly stopped her after understanding what she had said.

"The business you are talking about is the shop across from here?"

Qin Fangsui turned around and said, "Boss Dong, are you interested? I remember you liked that shop very much before."

"Yes, that was when I was preparing to open a restaurant, but Miss Qin also said that she would not rent the shop to me. Now that my restaurant has opened, you are saying that you want to rent the shop to me. What exactly does that mean?"

Qin Fangsui looked around and asked, "Boss Dong, are you going to let me talk here?"

What kind of business the shop opposite will do will have a certain impact on the restaurant. Dong Jialin thought for a moment and said, "Miss Qin, please go upstairs."

Qin Fangsui smiled slightly, and followed him upstairs with her maid Xianglan.

Dong Jialin took her to the private room and said, "Miss Qin, please say whatever you want to say here."

"I sincerely want to rent the shop opposite to Mr. Dong. Of course, if you don't want to rent it, I won't force you." Qin Fangsui found a stool and sat down calmly.

"Why did Miss Qin suddenly change her mind?" She was acting inconsistently and took the initiative to ask him to rent a shop. Dong Jialin couldn't help but wonder, "Are you planning to ruin my business again?"

"If I wanted to sabotage it, I could just use that shop to open a restaurant. Why beat around the bush? To be honest, Boss Dong, I found out when you just bought this shop. I also thought about opening a restaurant and opening it on the same day as you." Qin Fangsui told him without any reservations.

Dong Jialin was shocked, "How could you have such a vicious mind..."

"Don't worry, those were my previous thoughts. I don't want to do anything that hurts others and does not benefit myself anymore. Because my actions caused your teahouse and bookstore to suffer a lot of losses, I will rent you the shop opposite as compensation."

Qin Fangsui added, "Of course, this is just my idea. If Mr. Dong doesn't need the shop, or is still worried that I have bad intentions, he can just not rent it. Now that I've asked you, I feel less guilty about you. I can rent the shop to others or use it for business myself without any worries."

"Now it depends on whether Boss Dong still wants it."

Dong Jialin thought for a moment and made a decision, "I'll rent it."
