Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

While he was speaking, the dishes had already been prepared and served on the table. At the table, although Lou Xiao'e had seen big scenes before, she was still shocked by the exquisite presentation.

She didn't expect that the pipes in the old city had developed to such a sophisticated level.

"Don't be surprised, this Zui Xiang Lou is unique on Qianmen Street! No one else can be as exquisite as this one. Just look at the appearance and try it to see if it suits your taste, Miss Lou!"

Lou Xiao'e couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and take a sip. The taste was not only fragrant but also fresh.

I seem to have only tasted this delicious flavor when eating lobster and abalone in Hong Kong. This is the first time I have tasted such delicious Cantonese cuisine in the mainland.

"Hmm... not bad! There's something there!"

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e couldn't wait to take the next bite. She ate with gusto, her brows gradually relaxed, and she felt very happy.

From the time the first dish was served until the last one, Lou Xiao'e never put down her chopsticks. She tasted the dishes very ladylike and praised the taste of the dishes highly.

"Xiao Weiguo, you really have a good eye for talent. This chef's cooking skills are so authentic! The taste is just like that in Guangzhou. I've never tasted such authentic Cantonese food even though I'm so close to Guangzhou. Could this chef be invited from there?"

The deliciousness of a restaurant is directly related to the chef. Lou Xiao'e has nothing but praise for the chef's cooking skills.

"You will definitely get great value for money this time! How about ordering meals from us for the next few days? Tell me where you're staying, and I'll have the kitchen serve three meals a day, ensuring that the meals are delivered on time!"

Lou Xiao'e nodded silently, "Well, that's a good idea. If I get fat later, it's all your fault!"

"Hey, I admit this mistake. It's all because the food in my restaurant is too delicious. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten so fat from eating so much!"

"Tsk, you're still so talkative! To be honest, this time when I come back... I don't plan to leave!"

"what!"

Before Xiao Weiguo could speak, a soprano voice was heard, and the person who spoke was Qin Jingru.

"daughter in law……"

Xiao Weiguo just turned around and was startled by Qin Jingru before he could say anything!

My goodness, it was like seeing a ghost. It’s no exaggeration to say that my pupils were dilated with fear.

Qin Jingru was seen wearing a red woolen coat and high heels. She had a pale face with pink blush and rosy lips, looking like a young girl about to get married.

Everyone in the hall was stunned. They had never seen the proprietress dressed like this before. It was obvious that she was dressed carefully. Although she was not flashy, she looked elegant and luxurious.

"Jingru? Long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Lou Xiao'e recognized this old friend with her sharp eyes. Although they had not been overly anxious since Qin Jingru married into this courtyard, after all, the two families were separated by only a wall, and they were old neighbors.

Qin Jingru also came over generously, "Long time no see Xiao'e, you are still so beautiful!"

Then the two of them held hands and started chatting, completely forgetting about Xiao Weiguo.

Xiao Weiguo sat in a chair and looked at his wife boredly. He knew too well what kind of person she was.

The reason why this happened today was simply because I was frightened.

He was just afraid that Lou Xiao'e's appearance would affect their relationship.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that she is not confident, but the main reason is that she lacks confidence in herself!

Although all men in this world think with their lower limbs, Xiao Weiguo has principles.

I have been surrounded by beautiful women in the past. Is it possible that I can still fall in love with every one I meet?

No, I have to criticize her later for her extreme lack of confidence and trust in her man.

"Xiao'e, I just heard you say...you're not leaving this time?"

Every word Qin Jingru said was a test, and Lou Xiao'e also understood what he meant.

After all, Xiao Weiguo is such an outstanding man that every woman would think of him. Wasn't she also thinking of him in the past... But now he is a parent. After so many years, Lou Xiao'e doesn't think about him that much anymore. Now she only cares about making money and building a career!

"Yes, I'm back for a while this time. I plan to investigate the market environment and do something!"

Qin Jingru widened her eyes and smiled awkwardly, glancing at Xiao Weiguo unconsciously.

Xiao Weiguo spread his hands, indicating that he was unaware, didn't know, didn't understand, and didn't understand!

"Xiao'e, you are a woman, why do you have to work so hard! Why not find a good man to marry and live a stable and happy life? How wonderful it would be!"

Qin Jingru asked tentatively, and Lou Xiaoe quickly gave her a reassurance pill just in case for fear of being misunderstood.

"Unfortunately, I am not as lucky as you. I am destined to be a hard worker. After experiencing a failed marriage, I finally figured it out. I still have to return to the workplace and the battlefield. Only when I have a firm foothold can I feel happy! I feel uneasy when others give me happiness!"

A failed marriage?

After hearing this, Qin Jingru was relieved. After all, a woman who had experienced a failed marriage was no match for him. Based on her understanding of her man, Lou Xiaoe was not his type.

"Lou Xiao'e, what you did is not fair! You are a rich woman, and you are trying to steal our business? You are rich and powerful, isn't this just a form of suppression?"

Xiao Weiguo was joking and smoking at the same time, but Lou Xiaoe's next words completely shocked Xiao Weiguo.

"Hey, you're right! After investigating Zui Xiang Lou, I think the catering industry has great potential! But your restaurant specializes in Cantonese cuisine, which is not the same as mine! We have nothing to do with each other!"

After hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, Xiao Weiguo suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Don't worry, strong woman. You said you were interested in the catering industry. You are just trying to steal my business! You wouldn't..."

Lou Xiao'e nodded silently, and Xiao Weiguo was so angry that he could no longer sit still.

"Do you really need to? Why, in this Nordah City, only you are allowed to open a restaurant, and others are not allowed to have an equal share? This cake is so big, give me some, maybe it won't be long before we are the closest competitors. Without comparison, there is no progress. We can encourage each other!"

Wow, this Cantonese restaurant has just opened for a short time and has finally accumulated some customers. Now, Lou Xiao'e is back to share the cake!

"You can do it! Rich woman, you don't even leave us a way out. But I'll tell you in advance, you can do anything, but don't open a restaurant to compete with me for customers, otherwise don't tell me I know you!"

Having said that, although Xiao Weiguo's words sounded domineering, to Lou Xiao'e, who had been in the business world for a long time, they were just a drop in the bucket.

"I'm willing to come back and grab the cake from you!"

One sentence seemed to pour into her helplessness.

Qin Jingru saw something and said, "Xiao'e, the reason why you left Hong Kong and came back here is not to heal your wounds, right?"

Lou Xiao'e stared at Qin Jingru with wide eyes. She didn't expect that she had found a confidant.

"I didn't expect that, Qin Jingru. You really understand me. The reason I came back is to find my former optimistic self, forget about this failed relationship, and cheer myself up as soon as possible!"

After hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, Qin Jingru felt more relieved.
