Chapter 1820: Chapter 1818: Coming to Her Door

At this moment, the money was just enough to buy three bowls of noodles, which was a relief for their hungry stomachs.

Though Old Lady Lu wasn’t young, her teeth were still in good shape. When she took the first bite of the noodles, she felt a bit nostalgic. It had been a long time since she tasted noodles like this. Back in Wangbei Town, she had eaten this flavor so often that she got tired of it. There was no mistake; this was made by her eldest daughter-in-law, Li Gufen.

She thought Li Gufen no longer cooked personally but had taught others, perhaps even taking on apprentices. Old Lady Lu silently cursed her, ’This wasteful woman, teaching such a great skill to others.’

When she finds her, she will certainly give this wasteful woman a piece of her mind. How can she manage without an elder by her side? With this thought, Old Lady Lu felt a bit smug, as if she could already see Li Gufen obeying her every command again.

Old Man Lu didn’t have any particular thoughts, just slurped his noodles noisily.

But Big Brother Lu, like his mother, was also displeased.

This damn woman, unruly when not disciplined for three days, now she’s become capable and bold. After divorcing him, she never even thought about him while feeding so many people every day. They say a day’s husband and wife is worth a hundred days of grace, yet she never wrote to ask how he’s doing now, whether he has money. This damn woman has so much money yet never sent him any.

When he sees her, he’ll really put her in her place. If she wants to reconcile and remarry, he won’t easily agree. Otherwise, this woman will surely walk all over him again in the future.

Big Brother Lu gobbled down the beef noodles with determination.

The thoughts of these three were indeed laughable. However, it wasn’t entirely their fault; their views were narrow, and they didn’t know much. Lu Hao never told them about Li Gufen’s recent life.

Including the matter of finding her biological grandfather.

In their eyes, Li Gufen was still the same meek, obedient woman from back then, always working and enduring, without any family to back her, letting them hit and scold her as they pleased.

Naturally, in their hearts, they still held the same old beliefs.

After eating their fill, unwillingly paying the bill, they managed to get the address of the old beef noodle restaurant from the waiter.

This was the first store of Top Grade Beef Noodle Restaurant, which reportedly began its business here, with two other partners unknown to Old Lady Lu and Big Brother Lu.

Especially Old Lady Lu, she was anxious. This wasteful woman dared to partner with others, how could she? She should partner with her family. When she saw her, she would scold her properly, chase away the partners, so these two beef noodle shops would belong to the Lu Family.

Then her eldest son would be the boss, and she would be the mother of the boss.

The more Old Lady Lu thought about it, the happier she felt. Even though she was tired and sleepy, having just eaten a good meal put her in a great mood. So despite changing several buses and getting on the wrong one, her excitement didn’t wane. Still, even with that, they were somewhat lucky, standing in front of the beef noodle restaurant at ten in the morning.

At this time, Li Gufen was inspecting the kitchen.

It was just like any other day, but if you looked closely at her, you would notice a hint of happiness around her eyes and eyebrows.

Her relationship with Li He had been settled.

Now they were a family, and they would remain a family, and because of this relationship, Li He could treat her well without restraint, which brought sweetness to Li Gufen, who had spent over ten years in bitterness.

It turned out the fear wasn’t of love and marriage but because she hadn’t met the right person. But now, with Li He, she finally understood.

What is affection?

What is respect?

What is caring, and what is the feeling of being cherished in someone’s hands!

Therefore, Li Gufen was full of anticipation for her future life. Happiness brings the spirit to life; with joy in her heart, she worked much faster than usual. Just then, a waiter hurried over and said, "Sister Li, there are three people at the door claiming to be your husband and mother-in-law. They’re asking you to go out and meet them."

This waiter was new, but even though he was new, he knew Administrative Chef Li, Sister Li, was single and never heard she had any husband or mother-in-law.

But he knew Sister Li was engaged to Li He and would soon marry. This person wasn’t Li He, and from their attire, they seemed to be from the countryside. Especially that old lady, she looked around as soon as she entered, not sure what she was assessing.

At first, Li Gufen was taken aback, not reacting immediately.

Once she realized, her brows furrowed deeply, her hands clenched tightly at her sides. Could it be that Old Lady Lu and the others had come?

If it was true, they really were shameless.

Daring to call themselves her mother-in-law and husband.

Didn’t they know she had long severed relations with them?

It had been years without contact, and Lu Hao never let the Lu Family know about her whereabouts. How did they find her? Could it be Lu Hao brought them here?

Immediately, Sister Li shook her head; Lu Hao wasn’t that type of person. She took a deep breath and walked swiftly from the kitchen to the front.

After all, they had lived together for more than ten years, and in those final years, it was almost as if they were enemies. How could she not recognize them? She spotted the three right away.

It wasn’t the busy mealtime yet, and there weren’t many customers in the store, but Li Gufen had no intention of hosting them.

She slowly walked forward; the experience over these years had truly been beneficial to her. In the past, she would feel an instinctive, deep-seated fear whenever she saw Old Lady Lu, and that Big Brother Lu had hit her many times.

Thinking of this, hatred and disdain flashed in Li Gufen’s eyes.

Shameless people, she wondered who gave them the audacity to appear before her.

She stood in front of the three.

Big Brother Lu had initially harbored a belly full of anger, but seeing this version of Li Gufen, he suddenly shrank back.

Was this his former lawful wife?

How did she become so different?

If not for the familiar face, he might not have dared to recognize her on the street.

The woman in front of him had fair skin, bright eyes, a straight posture, and long black hair tucked into a white chef’s hat, highlighting her beautiful oval face. She wore a well-fitting head chef’s custom uniform, with an apron tied around her waist, black trousers, and flat leather shoes, exuding a commanding presence.

She was completely different from before.

Big Brother Lu didn’t know why, but he felt somewhat inferior. He couldn’t help but look at his own dirty clothes and took a step back.

But when Old Lady Lu thought of the woman before her, although she appeared beautiful, she was still her eldest daughter-in-law.

When she thought this way, her back straightened.
