Chapter 7 — After the Divorce, I Stopped Paying for My Mother-in-Law's Medicine
He walked over and wanted to grab the phone. Right at that moment. Manager Luu brought two other store owners to appear. Three people blocked right in front of me.
“Mr. Giang.”
“Is it your house again?”
Giang Diec Xuyen tried to suppress his anger.
“Manager Liu.”
“You don't need to take her side every time, do you?”
Manager Luu calmly replied:
“I'm not on anyone's side.”
“I only protect businesses in the old town.”
“Who caused the trouble?”
“I take care of that person.”
The leader of the inspection team also spoke up:
“The test results are in.”
“The store is qualified to operate normally.”
"Regarding malicious denunciation, we will file a case to handle it."
Trieu Que Lan was immediately impatient.
“So that's it?”
“What if it cuts my medicine costs?”
A woman selling wontons nearby stepped in. He put his hands on his hips and looked at her.
“Your son is standing right here.”
"If you don't look for your son, why do you keep asking for money from your ex-daughter-in-law?"
“If my son is so useless that he has to let his old mother beg his ex-wife for money like this…”
“I slapped it a long time ago!”
The crowd laughed again. Giang Diec Xuyen's face was tense to the extreme. I didn't look at them once more. Just turn around. Walk straight into the store. Because I know. The tricks of the Giang family... Will not stop here. Tieu Vu poked her head out from behind the kitchen.
“Miss Duong!”
“The pineapple cake batch has been packaged.”
"But the delivery guy just called to say the road was jammed, so he probably couldn't get there in time."
I glanced at the clock. Then take off the apron.
“Let me go on my own.”
Giang Diec Xuyen spoke coldly:
“Shen Duong, do you think this will end like that?”
I lifted three large boxes of cakes into the car. Turn your head to look at him.
“Of course it's not over yet.”
“The story about your mother intentionally slandering my store…”
“I will follow until the end.”
Trieu Que Lan immediately rushed forward to stop the car. The woman selling wontons next to her quickly hugged her waist tightly.
“Auntie!”
“Stop acting like a jerk!”
“My pot of meat is still cooking on the stove.”
"If you really fall, I won't be able to compensate!"
Tieu Vu laughed so much that tears flowed from her eyes. Right when I was about to get in the car. The phone suddenly rang. It's a strange number. A very calm female voice rang out on the other end of the line.
“Miss Tham, right?”
“The Hai Duong Tea Party changes the location of the cake display.”
“No need to deliver to the outside area anymore.”
“Please bring it to Minh Nguyet Hall personally.”
I frowned slightly.
“Why change locations?”
The other end of the line was silent for two seconds. Then said:
“Some people think that…”
“Your cake is not worthy of appearing on the main banquet table.”
I gently tightened the steering wheel. Through the rearview mirror. I saw Giang Diec Xuyen still standing behind me, watching me.
“I will bring it myself.”
Minh Nguyet Hall is located in Thanh Hoa Vien in the south of the city. In front of the gate, luxury cars are parked. The people who come in and out are either rich wives. Or a noble lady. The scent of perfume wafts everywhere. Even the waiter serving tea walked gently and carefully. I carried the cake boxes and walked in. The receptionist immediately raised his hand to stop him.
“Delivery to the back door.”
“The organizers asked me to bring it directly to Minh Nguyet Hall.”
She evaluated me from top to bottom.
“Are you the owner of Tham Ky shop?”
She flipped through the guest list. The voice immediately faded go a few parts.
“But just leave the cake on the side table.”
"The main table has changed to using cakes from the An family."
The receptionist seemed impatient.
“Guest requested.”
Just entered Minh Nguyet Hall. I saw Hua Man. She didn't hold the baby today. Wear an elegant cream suit. Surrounded by several ladies sitting and chatting. Trieu Que Lan was also present. Holding a cup of tea. The flattering smile was almost glued to his face. Just saw me. Hua Man immediately looked surprised.
“Are you coming too?”
I put the cake box down.
"Delivery."
A curly-haired woman next to her burst out laughing.
“So you are that ex-wife?”
“Man Man is really kind.”
“And deliberately reserved a position for you at the tea party today.”
“So your store has a chance to show its face to everyone.”
Trieu Que Lan immediately responded.
“It knows how to appreciate something new.”
“Our Giang family has raised it for many years.”
“It even feels like I'm at a disadvantage.”
I didn't reply. Just open the box. Arrange each box of pineapple cake on the table one by one. Hua Man gently said:
“Today, all those present here are famous people in the city.”
“If you would apologize to Aunt Trieu…”
“I can help introduce your store to everyone.”
I closed the lid of the last box.
"No need."
The curly haired woman chuckled.
“Such a stubborn temper.”
“No wonder men don't need it.”
Only then did I raise my head to look at her.
“May I ask who you are?”
The smile on her face immediately stiffened.
“I am Mrs. An.”
I nodded.
“Is it the An family that has been specializing in making breakfast cakes for a long time?”
She raised her chin slightly.
“You know too?”
I conveniently picked up a box of cakes from the An family that had just been replaced.
