Liu Manqiong was completely helpless towards Ye Chen.
Although she knew that Ye Chen was very powerful, she still had no hope in her heart whether Ye Chen could defeat the Zhong family and Hongmen.
However, she had already thought of a countermeasure in her mind.
If this matter really gets to a point where it cannot be ended, I will ask my father to come forward.
If the problem cannot be solved by Dad's intervention, he will go to the police directly.
What happened today was that Zhong Zitao led people to follow them and even wanted to kill Ye Chen. Ye Chen could not be considered as self-defense.
At that time, Dad and the police will work together to put pressure on the Zhong family and Hongmen, and maybe there will be a chance for mediation!
Later, Liu Manqiong took Ye Chen to a very busy wonton noodle stall.
Seeing that several small tables in front of the stall were already full, she smiled and said to the boss: "Uncle Cheng, business is so good today!"
Uncle Cheng looked up and saw her. He was not surprised at all and said with a smile: "Miss Manqiong, I heard that you are dating. We are all very happy!"
Liu Manqiong asked with a surprised look on her face: "This...who said this...it's too gossipy!"
Uncle Cheng smiled and said: "Jiekou Anan said it in our WhatsApp group! Our whole street knows about it! He also secretly took photos of you and your boyfriend!"
As he spoke, he took out an old smartphone, showed a photo of Liu Manqiong and Ye Chen secretly taken from the side and behind, and said with a smile: "Miss Manqiong, you and your boyfriend,
What a talented man and beautiful woman!"
Liu Manqiong was helpless: "Uncle Nan doesn't want to be a paparazzi and write gossip news. It's really unfair! They said they are just ordinary friends..."
With that said, she quickly changed the subject: "Forget it, Uncle Cheng, please help us cook two bowls of wonton noodles."
Uncle Cheng nodded, took out a folding table from under the stall that was obviously much cleaner than the other tables, set it up in an open space, took out two folding chairs, placed them at both ends of the table, and said to Liu Manqiong: "
Miss Manqiong, you two sit down first, and I will cook it for you."
Liu Manqiong said: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Cheng. I'll go buy some other things."
Uncle Cheng said hurriedly: "Miss Manqiong, just sit down and tell me what you want to eat, and I'll ask them to deliver it directly in the group."
Liu Manqiong said: "That's so inappropriate... I'd better go on my own..."
Uncle Cheng smiled and said: "Miss Manqiong, those stalls you frequent are all a bunch of old women. You will definitely be teased by them if you go there."
"Oh..." Liu Manqiong sat down immediately and said with some fear: "Uncle Cheng, please help me. I want a piece of money tripe and a piece of curry fish eggs. Please help me with the brine platter and roast goose.
Have some."
Uncle Cheng said with a smile: "Wait a moment, Miss Manqiong, I will tell them right now."
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that everyone likes you very much."
"Right." Liu Manqiong said with a smile: "They have watched me grow up, and they may also feel that they owe me some favors because of the stall, so they are very nice to me."
Ye Chen said seriously: "It is true that they are grateful to you, but it is also true that they like you. You can see that each of them treats you as a relative, and their eyes are very pure."
Liu Manqiong nodded and said with a smile: "I am also very grateful to them. If it weren't for them, things would have been different here. It was them here who helped me retain the best memories of my life."
After that, Liu Manqiong said with some sadness: "Everything here is the same as before, except that they are old, I have grown up, and my mother is no longer here."
Seeing that she was a little melancholy, Ye Chen pretended to be relaxed and said: "My parents passed away very early. After they left, I became an orphan and lived in an orphanage for ten years. In comparison, you are still better than me.
Much happier."
"Are you an orphan?!" Liu Manqiong looked at Ye Chen in surprise, with a look of disbelief.
Ye Chen nodded and said: "Before I was eight years old, I was probably the happiest child in the world. I fell from the sky into a mud puddle overnight, and then I crawled and rolled in the mud puddle all the way until today.
Already."
Liu Manqiong exclaimed: "You are so young, and you can hold a key position in Esu Shipping, which proves that your personal ability is still very strong."
"Really?" Ye Chen suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Haha, it seems like that's all."
It was hard for him to tell Liu Manqiong that he was actually the boss with the largest shareholding in Esu Shipping.
At this time, many middle-aged people walked quickly towards the two of them with smiles on their faces.
The leader was surprisingly the same Uncle Nan just now. He was holding a big box in his hand, and he didn't know what was in it.
When everyone came to the two of them, Uncle Nan smiled and said: "Miss Manqiong, happy birthday!"
After saying that, Uncle Cheng beside him quickly opened the lid of the big box, and inside was a beautiful birthday cake.
Everyone also cheered together and said in unison: "Ms. Manqiong, happy birthday!"
Liu Manqiong was stunned and murmured: "Today is not my birthday... My birthday will come in more than ten days... Uncle Nan, Uncle Cheng, what is going on?"
Uncle Nan smiled and said: "Miss Manqiong, today is the fourth day of April in the lunar calendar, and it is your birthday in the lunar calendar. You may not usually look at the lunar calendar, but we old guys, the first thing we do when we get up every day is to look through it.
Those who follow the almanac cannot remember the days in the solar calendar, but they can remember the days in the lunar calendar very clearly."
Liu Manqiong's eyes suddenly became moist, she covered her mouth and whispered softly: "I don't even know..."
Uncle Cheng said with a smile: "We have all been preparing for this a few days ago. We wanted to give you a little surprise. In the afternoon, we were worried that you wouldn't be able to come today. We didn't expect that you would bring your boyfriend with you.
coming."
Two lines of hot tears rolled down the corners of Liu Manqiong's eyes. This time she did not explain any more, but said with great gratitude: "Thank you everyone...Thank you..."
Uncle Nan and Uncle Cheng carried the cake and sang a birthday song in Cantonese: "I wish you a happy life and a happy birthday! Today is the same day every year, and today is the same day every year! Congratulations, congratulations to you
!”
Everyone who followed them applauded. Uncle Nan handed two candles and a box of matches to Ye Chen, and said with a smile: "Young man, Miss Manqiong turns 24 today, which is her birth year, so we have prepared it."
Two candles, please help Miss Manqiong light them!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly, inserted the two candles, and then lit the candles.
Everyone quickly urged her to make a wish and blow out the candles.
Liu Manqiong glanced at Ye Chen, closed her eyes, acquiesced to a wish, and then blew out the candles under the witness of everyone.
Everyone cheered again, and then everyone served Liu Manqiong and Ye Chen a piece of their own specialty meal or snack, because each portion was very small. Uncle Cheng also said to the two of them: "We know Miss Manqiong."
I don’t like waste, so I prepare a very small amount for each portion. If there is not enough food, just ask and we will prepare more for you two!”
Liu Manqiong said with red eyes: "Thank you everyone for being so considerate and remembering my birthday..."
Uncle Cheng smiled and said: "This is all as it should be. Miss Manqiong, let me say something noble on behalf of everyone. In our eyes, you are just like our own daughter!"
After that, he quickly said to everyone: "Let's all leave, leave, and don't disturb Miss Manqiong's world of two people!"
