CHAPTER 261: CHAPTER 153-154: DEPARTURE / A NEW BEGINNING

Sunday morning, everyone gathered early at Seventh Uncle Ye’s villa. Luo Feng and Fu Mo were in charge of cutting meat, Luo Ye took the girls and Dongdong to pick vegetables in the garden, Grandpa Luo and Seventh Uncle Ye sat on stools chatting and drinking tea, Sister Li accompanied Sang Qingqing strolling in the yard. Sang Qingqing’s wound has healed, but to avoid internal adhesion, she needs to take a walk for about 40 minutes after breakfast and dinner.

The yard was lively for a change, exciting Big White and Big Yellow to jump around joyfully. If it weren’t for Seventh Uncle Ye stopping them, they would probably have romped around the yard already.

Close to 8:30, Qu Yue arrived late with two young men.

"Finally, you’re here!" Luo Feng sighed with relief and waved: "Qu Yue, over here!"

"Finally, we’re going to be freed!" Fu Mo also sighed deeply. This task is no work for humans!

"Hello uncle, hello sister..." Qu Yue politely greeted them as he came, and the two men trailing behind glanced at the chunks of meat Luo Feng and Fu Mo were cutting, their facial muscles twitching suspiciously, politely asking the two to take a break.

Qu Yue quickly explained with a smile, "They do this every day, they’ve gotten quite fast and don’t really like other people helping, don’t take it personally."

"We wouldn’t think too much about it. It’s too mushy and tough to cut, we were even worried you wouldn’t bring professionals and wondered when we’d ever eat." Luo Feng joked, waving his oily hands, "I was really afraid that cutting would blur my vision and I’d chop these two hands in!"

"Brother, you’re being disliked, huh?" Luo Ye and the others happened to come back from picking vegetables, understanding the situation immediately.

After greeting each other, Qu Yue took the small baskets they were carrying and put them next to the chopping board, "Just leave the vegetables to them, they have the experience on how to handle it."

"Luo Feng is being disliked too!" Luo Feng joked, teasing his sister.

"I didn’t mean that, mainly..."

Luo Ye interrupted Qu Yue, who was explaining with a bitter smile, "Brother Qu, we understand what you mean. My brother is just finding balance for himself, don’t mind him!"

The lively atmosphere couldn’t hide Tang Luo’s faint sadness as he was about to leave, even Xing Nong, who usually liked to tease Tang Luo, was unexpectedly quiet and ladylike.

Luo Feng didn’t tell Qu Yue the reason behind organizing the barbecue. He was well aware of Qu Yue’s slight fondness for his sister; though he didn’t dislike Qu Yue and even preferred him to Ye Xuan, creating little obstacles was something he was quite happy to do. His precious sister, could anyone just covet her?

Unfortunately, Luo Feng’s wish for Qu Yue to embarrass himself in front of his sister quickly fell through. With his keen observation, Qu Yue quickly grasped the true nature of the situation and soon lightened the somber atmosphere by sharing amusing incidents from school, deliberately not courting Lady Luo.

This made Luo Feng quietly wonder if he was being paranoid, and maybe Qu Yue simply came to do good deeds like Lei Feng? But do you believe that?

Not until Qu Yue steered the conversation towards the Liangyou Chain and successfully piqued everyone’s interest, later on even agreeing with Luo Ye and Fu Mo to build an iconic culinary culture in Island City. Luo Ye invested 20 million for a 15% share in Liangyou, and Fu Mo invested 10 million for a 7.5% share, did Luo Feng realize, he had led a wolf into the house!

However, Qu Yue indeed impressed him; the Liangyou food chain was his high school initiative, persuading his family to invest five million, handling all subsequent funds and operations himself, growing its market value to over a hundred million today. Considering he went to the same school as Qu Yue, very aware of the time and effort he spent on the student council, could he be Superman?

After the agreements were made, Tang Luo sighed regretfully, "It’s just a pity I’m leaving, otherwise I’d like to contribute too."

Seeing the mood turning melancholic again, Luo Ye quickly reassured, "There will be opportunities in the future, we aim to become a nationwide chain, and then Tangtang can come and support us!"

"We just ate at a Liangyou chain outlet yesterday. To think we met the owner today and in the blink of an eye, Luo Luo and Fu Mo even became shareholders. This... tsk tsk..." Seeing Xing Nong’s eyes rolling around, Luo Ye quickly pulled her aside, "Are you thinking of telling Qu Yue about Dongdong’s dad’s store and sabotaging it?"

"Knowing me, Luo Luo, is this also hitting him with a silent hammer, isn’t it?" Xing Nong said excitedly.
