Chapter 134 – A crowd of melon-eaters (3)

“Designer Chen is here to deliver the lights?” She had shown him the blueprint of the remodeling of her place. She hadn’t expected him to be enthusiastic about it. He made a special trip to her place, made custom designed lightings for her place, and helped her place the order for her custom lightings and furniture to be made. 

“Oh, right. The lighting is done. The furniture will be a bit longer. I have already checked on them over at your place last time. The masters’ work was very skillful. The remodeling also looked good but you can’t move in just yet. I suggest waiting for 3 months before you move in.” Chen Fei had heard about Shu Yan losing her rental. 

“I’ve already found a new place that I can stay till the end of the year. Should be able to move in then.” Shu Yan took Yingying with her to look at the lightings, leaving Chen Fei and Zhang Huaxiu there by themselves. 

Business was particularly poor that day. Everybody was talking about what happened with Le all over the place. The scene was quite lively. 

Right when Shu Yan was about to take off early for the day, the cops came. Their next door had called the cops. Turned out the woman didn’t just strip Le naked, she also smashed her shop. Otherwise, the landlord would not have called the cops. 

“Hi, we are here to ask a few questions.”

Shu Yan nodded and told all she knew. She shook her head when they asked her whether she knew the woman, or whether she remembered what the woman looked like. It couldn’t go wrong to answer no to all the questions. 

It was all just a formality. The cops wouldn’t spend too much time looking into an incident like this. 

It was a rare early day for Shu Yan. She hadn’t been able to lie down in bed in the daytime forever. Shu Yan let out a sigh of comfort. She really didn’t want to get back up, but she has two more mouths to feed. Resigned, she finally got back up to shop for ingredients for dinner before she went to pick up the children. 

“I heard that a lot had gone on where you were earlier?” asked Lin Hui when she saw Shu Yan. 

“How did you find out?” asked Shu Yan, surprised. West City Nan Road was quite a bit of distance from here. How did she find out?

“A colleague of mine had the day off, went shopping on West City Nan Road, and saw it with her own eyes. She skipped lunch to come straight back to the factory to share it with all of us. I even saw the photos.” Having said that, Lin Hui blushed a little from embarrassment before she asked softly, “Was that true?”

“Yeah. I was right next door.”

“Oh really? Then tell me more.” Lin Hui was a little excited. When Wu Xiuyue arrived later on and saw them, she also came over to find out what they were talking about. Hearing the recounting from Lin Hui, she, too, looked excitedly at Shu Yan. 

Shu Yan: So nosy!

In the next few days that followed, the shop next door did not reopen. Shu Yan saw the landlord next door have someone came to remove the sign and asked, “They are closing this place down?”

“Yeah! My place was smashed and they weren’t even going to do anything about it. What bad luck,” said the landlord as he sighed. Due to something like that, it will be a while before he would be able to rent his place out. He took a look at Shu Yan and said, “Your business seems to be going quite well. Do you want to rent my side too and expand your place?”

“No, no need. I am not planning on expanding anytime soon.” Shu Yan shook her head. 

Shu Yan felt that even the air was fresher without Le there staring at all day in and day out. 

Her business improved slowly and her daily income was around 1,500 yuan. Shu Yan would go and bring in more merchandise every weekend. On a regular day, she’d head into the shop after dropping off her kids and pick them back up around 4 or so in the afternoon. Then, she made dinner and helped them with homework. Days weren’t as busy as she had imagined. 

This day, after Shu Yan had dropped off her kids and went to her shop, she was stopped by a man in a black suit before she stepped foot into her shop. “Miss Shu, our Miss would like to invite you to lunch.”

Shu Yan looked in the direction where his hand was pointing and saw the window on a luxurious car roll down slowly. Inside was a pretty but slightly haggard looking face. It was Zhang Baizong’s wife who beat up on the homewrecker the other day.
