CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 624 NARROW ROAD OF ENEMIES

Having retrieved the ledger from the fast food shop, Cheng Su took the bus home, feeling completely worn out after reprimanding the staff and discussing some matters with Elder Sister. She was quite exhausted, both mentally and physically.

Looking at this matter, it seemed the staff at the new shop, including Elder Sister, weren’t quite seasoned. None could keep their composure well.

It was just some idle chatter, but what if troublemakers came to make a scene?

Cheng Su pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed deeply. It looked like the fast food shop would need closer supervision for some time to come, training the staff was still a long way off!

Thinking this way, she felt herself dozing off.

"Cheng Su."

Someone called out, and Cheng Su opened her eyes to spot the person--she smiled, "Luh Kai, what a coincidence, running into you again?"

"I always take this bus home," Luh Kai settled in beside her and glanced at her, "What’s wrong, you look tired? Your complexion doesn’t look too good!"

Cheng Su mustered a tired smile and said, "I just came from the fast food shop. There was some trouble there, gave a few people a talking-to."

Luh Kai immediately said, "What happened? Do you need any help?"

"No need, it’s a minor issue, and it’s temporarily solved," Cheng Su shook her head, "It’s the neighbors from the shop next door. They’re jealous of our booming business, so they spread rumors that someone died in our shop and it’s bad luck. Can you believe that? With that spare time, they should focus on their own business instead!"

Luh Kai remarked, "People are like that, they can’t stand to see others do well. Just ignore them. So, having any regrets? I did warn you, this shop might be trouble."

Cheng Su scoffed lightly, "Any trouble? Not at all, I don’t have any regrets. On the contrary, I think I hit the jackpot. Our business is thriving now, and I believe it won’t be long before the shop starts turning a profit."

Luh Kai admired her forthrightness and teased, "Then perhaps it’s Uncle and I who should have regrets!"

Cheng Su laughed out loud.

The bus was moving swiftly, and as it took a sharp turn, Cheng Su, unprepared, found herself bumping into Luh Kai.

With quick reflexes, Luh Kai held onto her shoulders, "You okay?"

"I’m fine. This driver drives like he’s drifting," Cheng Su laughed.

Luh Kai withdrew his hand, asking, "What’s drifting?"

Uh.

Cheng Su gave a vague explanation, "It’s like driving really fast and then just sliding past in a flash."

"I sure hear a lot of interesting words from you," Luh Kai laughed.

Cheng Su stuck her tongue out, and Luh Kai caught a glimpse, then awkwardly turned his head away.

Her tongue was pink and playful.

"Hey, this is my stop. You should come by our restaurant for a meal when you’re free!" Cheng Su, hearing the driver call the stop, said to Luh Kai.

"Oh, take care of yourself," Luh Kai raised his hand.

Cheng Su got off the bus and walked away without looking back, unaware that Luh Kai on the bus was watching her until the vehicle was out of sight.

"Sister-in-law Qi, you’re back too?" Someone called out from behind.

Cheng Su turned around and saw it was a neighbor from the courtyard, she smiled and said, "Yes, you’re off work too?"

"Yep!"

Cheng Su chatted with her as they walked back to the courtyard, arriving at the entrance just as Chiang Qing was returning.

Talk about a narrow escape from an enemy!

Upon seeing her, Chiang Qing’s pupils constricted, and a sharp, cold light flashed in her eyes.

Cheng Su was startled at first, but when she looked again, the light had vanished, replaced with indifference, disgust, and an elusive sense of something else.

Stay away from that crazy woman, a sudden memory of Ning Ge’s words popped into Cheng Su’s head, but by then Chiang Qing had already brushed past her shoulder and walked away.

Cheng Su frowned, Crazy? More like paranoid!
