Chapter 38: Cheng Xiaofei's Thank You Gift

  "Qin jie, why are there so many customers already today?"

  Chu Rui walked over with a smile on his face, looking at that busy figure, and greeted her.

  "Xiao Rui, why are you still here? Hurry up and leave! Who knows if Kun Ge is waiting for you. He's the type to seek revenge, and this time many people must have been affected. Quick, before they find out about you, hurry up and go!"

  When she saw Chu Rui, Qin Yue suddenly became a little absent-minded. She never thought that this young man would still have the nerve to show up here. Was he trying to get himself killed? Things had developed to this point, and Chu Rui had offended Kun Ge for their mother-daughter's sake; she didn't want anything to happen to him.

  "Kun Ge?" Chu Rui was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, Qin Jie, that bastard won't come to cause trouble again!"

  It didn't surprise Chu Rui that the news of Kun Ge and his gang being taken down wasn't reported. This is what's good about China, for the sake of so-called social harmony, many things are completely hidden from view. As for press freedom and freedom of speech, those are just empty words. You know in NB, if someone in power says one thing, you dare not report another? If you go against the leadership, making you wear small shoes is already a favor to you. In such a large country, under the guise of brightness and harmony, there are countless hidden darknesses and injustices. Many of them are so cruel that you can't even believe they're happening right next to you.

  "Huh?......"

  When Qin Yue heard Chu Rui's words, she was stunned for a moment.

  What is called can't come to make trouble?

  Looking at the young man with a smile on his face, Qin Yue felt an extremely strong sense of curiosity. This young man was like a riddle. He suddenly appeared in front of her a few days ago, helped her daughter on the first day, and even saved herself and her daughter from humiliation yesterday. For this, he didn't mind offending the well-known underworld gang of this generation. If she hadn't abandoned everything here, she really wanted to get rid of everything here and start again somewhere else. Just when she was still worried about how to deal with Kun Ge's revenge, the young man told her that everything was fine now.

  Although Qin Yue looked like she was only in her early twenties, her actual age had already exceeded thirty. After so many years of struggling in society, she had seen countless types of people. However, she had never seen anyone with a temperament like Chu Rui's.

  Maybe he's some rich kid or a young master of a wealthy family!

  In her heart, Qin Yue could only come up with this explanation! After all, wanting to deal with Kun Ge's black gang behind him wasn't something that ordinary strength could accomplish. Although this young man had been trained, Qin Yue would never have thought that he would single-handedly wipe out the entire black gang. In her mind, she was thinking that it was Chu Rui's backing power that put pressure on the black gang, which is why there was such an outcome.

  But nothing matters anymore! What's most important is that from now on, she can be free from distractions, take care of this big stall with a peaceful mind, let her daughter go to university, study with peace of mind, and after entering society, find a good job, then marry a good person, so she can also enjoy her later years in peace.

  She knew who to thank for her current status. For ordinary people, many are still very simple and kind-hearted. If you help them, they won't forget it. At critical moments, they will also lend you a hand! They may be very poor or busy from dawn till dusk, but their hearts haven't been tainted by money and interests like those of capitalists and entrepreneurs. This is their greatest advantage. In high society, it's all about scheming and plotting, where you can only trust yourself. But ordinary people are not that complicated, they just help each other to live a better life.

  "Hey, Qin Jie, what are you thinking about? The pot is starting to smell burnt!"

  Looking at Qin Yue who seemed a bit distracted, Chu Rui opened his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, calling out to her.

  "Ah......Oh!"

  Dazed Qin Yue glanced at Chu Rui, then asked about the flavor, and was suddenly shocked. She wielded a spatula to continuously flip the dishes in the pot, managing to salvage this pot of food. Although it was slightly charred, it was still edible.

  She poured the dish onto a plate, Qin Yue scooped up another spoonful of oil and started stir-frying again. She was doing business, as long as it was impossible to serve burnt dishes to customers.

  "Qin sister, don't waste it, give it to me to eat!" Chu Rui stretched out his hand and took the plate with the stir-fried dish, took a bite, smacked his lips to savor the flavor, then smiled: "It's a bit burnt, but it has a unique taste."

  "Haha!" Looking at Chu Rui's expression, Qin Yue pursed her lips and smiled slightly. The mature woman's charm was fully displayed, leaving Chu Rui momentarily stunned.

  Under astonishing willpower, Chu Rui quickly regained control of his emotions. He smiled slightly awkwardly and walked over to an empty table.

  "Uh...Rui-ge, want to eat something?"

  Just as she sat down, Cheng Xiaofei walked over. Holding a notebook, her hand slightly trembling, her body slightly trembling, her voice slightly trembling, she asked.

  Brother? Haha!

  When he heard Cheng Xiaofei's name, Chu Rui couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile.

  "Bring a plate of stir-fried beef with chili sauce, spicy chicken cubes, braised lamb tripe, and two small dishes on the side. And bring two bottles of beer!"

  Chu Rui happily ordered a few dishes. Although it was a hot day, he just liked to eat spicy food, liked the kind of fiery food that stimulated his taste buds, and then downed a mouthful of ice-cold beer, that flavor was really explosive!

  Perhaps because he was specially taken care of, Chu Rui's dishes were quickly served.

  Looking at the several dishes in front of him, which were obviously increased in portion size, the aroma and flavor stirred up Chu Rui's hungry stomach. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and directly picked up his chopsticks to start eating voraciously. Now he had to eat his fill, as soon as it struck twelve, it would be the time he agreed with Ye Zi Feng and others, in order to clear the dungeon as soon as possible, they were prepared to pull an all-nighter!

  "That...that, Rui Ge, this, this is for you. Th-thank you for saving me and mom yesterday!"

  Just as Chu Rui was savoring his food, Cheng Xiaofi's timid voice sounded in his ear.

  Chu Rui, with a piece of spicy beef jerky in his mouth, looked up at Cheng Xiaofei beside him. Perhaps intimidated by Chu Rui's direct gaze, Cheng Xiaofei's face suddenly turned red and she hastily placed an exquisitely packaged box in front of him before fleeing in panic.

  Staring blankly at the receding figure of Cheng Xiaofei, Chu Rui savagely sucked the sauce-covered beef into his mouth and chewed fiercely. He lowered his head to look at the pink packaging paper with a picture of a cat on it, wrapped around a small box, tied with a beautiful golden ribbon. The box wasn't very big, probably containing some small trinket inside. However, this was still Chu Rui's first time receiving a gift in years, and it was from a girl, so he felt inexplicably excited, even eating became more enjoyable, originally wolfing down his food, suddenly becoming swift and fierce like the wind. That wild speed was really like the wind sweeping by, eating that quickly, simply like directly pouring the plate into his stomach!
