Originally, the plan was for Zhu Bufan to treat us, to let the two beauties enjoy a good meal, but after visiting several hotels, they were all packed. Of course, these were the smaller hotels. The luxurious ones have private rooms, so even with a large crowd, it wouldn't be a problem.

The prerequisite is that Zhu Bufan is willing to take them to the Interstellar Hotel for the meal.

Although Zhu Bufan made a bit of money today, he has always been used to being poor, so naturally, he wouldn't throw out a fortune just to save face. The 20,000 yuan in his pocket wouldn't last many extravagances if spent on a five-star venue.

But, if they went to a small restaurant, the money could last for a year of meals, and Zhu Bufan understood this bit of simple math.

After wandering around several times, unable to find any available seats in the restaurants, Zhan Feiyu suggested that Zhu Bufan buy some stuff and bring it back to her place to eat. She wanted Zhu Bufan to treat them to some spicy hot pot, simply requiring a visit to a shop to grab some ingredients and some broth.

Zhu Bufan happily accepted Zhan Feiyu's suggestion and bought everything needed. Off to Zhan Feiyu's house they went.

Du Yujiao and Zhan Feihuang waited anxiously at the front door for Zhan Feiyu to return home before finally being relieved. If Zhan Feiyu hadn't come back, Du Yujiao would have surely gone to the school to fetch her. These two girls were the apple of Du Yujiao's eye, so precious that she was afraid they might melt in her mouth or break in her hands.

Seeing her younger sister also there, Du Yujia instinctively asked, "Yujia, how are things developing with you and Zhu Bufan? If there are no problems, you should hurry up and settle things, I've decided it for you, what do you think?"

"Uh…" Du Yujia blushed slightly, not knowing what to say.

Right as Du Yujiao was about to press further, Zhu Bufan quickly spoke up, "Aunt Jiao, Yujia and I have become the best of friends. Don't worry, Yujia has bounced back already. It won't be long before Yujia will rise up again; just you watch!"

Du Yujiao nodded. She didn't raise any doubts. Being sisters, Du Yujiao could clearly see Du Yujia's transformation. Before today, Du Yujia had been despondent, her face always pale. But now? She was filled with intense fighting spirit!

This Du Yujia was more like herself before her career setbacks. Thus, Zhu Bufan saying she had recovered didn't seem far-fetched.

Du Yujia was still blushing and remained silent, whereas Du Yujiao somewhat embarrassedly said, "Yujia, if you really like him but feel embarrassed to say it, just tell me and I'll help you out, how about that?"

"Sis, what are you talking about! It's annoying, we are just business partners, maybe we should forget about that sort of thing for now. I want some time to myself. I'm not thinking about men right now," said Du Yujia, her voice heavy, deeply touching Zhu Bufan's "sensitive nerves."

Only a woman who has suffered severe emotional trauma would say such things. Zhu Bufan couldn't help but wonder what vile creature had hurt Yujia so badly. If given the chance, Zhu Bufan would suggest personally dealing out some punishment to this villain, as surely only that would appease the public's anger!

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to tell me, never mind!" Du Yujia finished speaking but still worriedly continued to ask: "Little sis, what kind of business are you actually planning on doing? Tell your sister, I'm really curious!"

"Enough, enough, we've been waiting at your house for half a day, and you won't even let me go back to drink some water. You want to kill me with thirst?" Du Yujia purposely changed the subject, trying to skirt around the business secret.

The more she tried to hide it, the more curious Du Yujiao became. As Du Yujia greeted everyone to sit back inside the house, she incessantly kept asking, finally pushing Du Yujia to her limit. Du Yujia could only take the initiative to lay her cards on the table.

"In fact, I want to partner up with Zhu Bufan to open a small clinic to make money treating patients!"

"What?" As these words left Du Yujia's mouth, they immediately caused Du Yujia and her daughters to be simultaneously shocked, their mouths gaping open. Zhan Feihuang immediately raised an objection: "Auntie, what are you thinking? I already discussed with Zhu Bufan this morning. I find him patients, and after he makes money, he shares some with me. I was actually the one who brought him here to treat you this afternoon, I..."

"Cough cough!" Zhu Bufan, who was off to the side, coughed violently, interrupting Zhan Feihuang's nonsense. Zhan Feihuang immediately realized her slip of the tongue and quickly covered her mouth.

Eating rebates even from your own mom and aunt, and then blabbing about it in front of everyone. Even if Zhan Feihuang was a tad slow, at this moment, she truly felt supremely embarrassed. How could she carelessly let the secret slip!

Zhan Feihuang decisively chose to shut up. Du Yujiao, however, did not immediately find fault with her, but turned her head to scrutinize and said: "Young man, are you really willing to work with my sister? Or are you just trying to deceive her?"

"What are you saying!" Zhu Bufan angrily responded: "I'm sincerely wanting to cooperate with Sister Jia, Aunt Jiao please don't speculate like that, alright?"

"Well you, young man, keep calling my sister 'Sister Jia' and then calling me 'Aunt Jiao', don't you feel that you're being a bit too hypocritical?" Du Yujia pointed out Zhu Bufan's hypocrisy directly, without mincing words with the young man.

"Heh, how about I call you 'Sister Jiao' instead?" he brazenly responded, his demeanor that of a dead pig not fearing boiling water.

"Get lost, I'm not falling for that. You're about the same age as my daughters, don't think you can take advantage of me. Just keep calling me Aunt Jiao; I'm not as young as you think." Although Du Yujia's old face got somewhat red.

"Hey, Aunt Jiao, what are you saying? In my eyes, you're not old at all. I've been wandering around Huadu Science and Technology University all day, saw no fewer than 3000 girls, and not one could match up to Aunt Jiao's dazzling beauty, refined temperament, and grace. I'm not just flattering you! If you wear a school uniform and walk around the university tomorrow, you will instantly become the top campus belle!"

Zhu Bufan's words made Du Yujiao bloom with joy, completely delighted. She couldn't help responding: "You've got some taste, kid. Back in the days, Aunt Jiao was..." As Du Yujiao spoke, she suddenly felt a burst of intense sunlight shining directly on her, raising her head to see Zhan Feiyu and the others staring at her with an extremely weird look.

Du Yujiao's face flushed red, and she said indignantly: "What are you staring at? What's there to look at? Back then, I was indeed the town's number one beauty, hmm! If you don't believe it, you can ask your aunt, hmpf!"
