"We just hired him recently. Qianqian said we’d only hire him for this month over the New Year, so we didn’t ntion it to you. You can go see him at the shop later; he’s really a nice guy."
Ye’s mother said while serving the food.
"Alright, after we finish eating, you can rest at ho. Ye Hao and I will go help Qianqian."
Both Ye Fu and Ye’s mother were very kind-hearted, so sotis it was easy to deceive them.
Gu Yi also wanted to see what kind of person was hired that made Ye’s mother want to match him with Ye Qian.
After finishing lunch, Gu Yi and Ye Hao carried lunch boxes to the shop.
Even though it was lunchti, the shop was still crowded.
"Dad."
"Dad, Yiyi and I brought lunch for you guys."
As soon as Gu Yi and Ye Hao walked in, they greeted Ye Fu. Since there were too many people around the cash register where Ye Qian was, they didn’t go over.
"Why didn’t you rest a bit more at ho? Your mom ca this morning saying you were back. You must be tired from the long trip."
Ye Fu was grinning with joy when he saw them co over.
"It’s fine, we slept all morning and have recovered. We’re here to help out. Dad, you start eating; I’ll handle things."
Ye Hao seated Ye Fu at the round table in the shop and put the lunch boxes down.
"It’s okay, I’ll eat when there are fewer custors."
Seeing the shop filled with people, Ye Fu didn’t feel comfortable eating.
"You should eat first, or it’ll get cold. Yiyi and I can take care of the custors."
Ye Fu was too old to stay hungry for long periods.
Ye Hao said, glancing at Gu Yi, who was already weighing cakes for the custors.
"Alright, then I’ll eat first."
Watching Gu Yi skillfully serve the custors, Ye Fu took Ye Hao’s advice and sat down to eat.
Ye Hao went to Gu Yi’s side and took over her task.
"I’ll weigh them. You go help Qianqian."
Seeing the line at Ye Qian’s register, Ye Hao directed Gu Yi to assist her.
"Okay, you take over."
Saying this, Gu Yi went behind the cash register.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here at the shop? You should be resting at ho."
Only when Gu Yi went inside did Ye Qian notice her.
"I’ve rested enough, so I ca to help. You handle the paynts, and I’ll do the bagging."
As soon as Gu Yi arrived, she divided the tasks with Ye Qian.
"Sure, thank you, sister-in-law."
Gu Yi gave Ye Qian a smile.
The two of them began collecting paynts and bagging items.
With an extra helper, the line of custors quickly dwindled.
"Mom ntioned you hired soone at the shop. Why haven’t I seen him?"
When there were only a couple of people left in line, Gu Yi looked around the shop and didn’t see the young man Ye’s mother ntioned, so she directly asked Ye Qian.
"Oh, the flour ran out, so he went to buy so."
Gu Yi noticed a shy look in Ye Qian’s eyes when she talked about the young man.
It seed like she had a bit of a crush on him.
Gu Yi thought to herself that she would have to take a good look at him when he returned.
"You should eat; it’s been a while, and the food might be cold."
Seeing no more custors, Gu Yi urged Ye Qian to eat.
"Okay, sister-in-law, please watch the shop for . I’m starving."
Without Gu Yi at ho, Ye Qian always felt she had to keep the shop running and take care of Ye Fu and Ye’s mother, making herself stronger.
But when she was in front of Gu Yi, it felt like she had soone to depend on, and she couldn’t help but act a bit spoiled.
"Go ahead."
Gu Yi smiled warmly at her.
Ye Fu finished his al and took over Ye Hao’s task.
Ye Hao moved to assist Gu Yi.
"Qianqian, should I put the flour in the back warehouse?"
While they were ringing up custors, soone called from the shop’s entrance.
"Yes, just put it in the warehouse."
From her reply, it seed they were familiar with each other. Ye Qian responded while still eating her al.
"Alright, can you open the door in the back for ?"
Hearing this, Ye Qian took her bowl and went to open the door for him.
Gu Yi saw soone carrying two bags of flour inside.
Because the flour blocked the person’s face, Gu Yi only glanced before resuming her task.
"Yiyi, I’m going to help carry the flour."
Seeing more flour in the tricycle at the entrance, Ye Hao inford Gu Yi before heading out to help.
When the person ca out from inside.
Gu Yi glanced over and suddenly froze.
She felt as if all the blood rushed to her head in an instant.
"Hey, buddy, can you hurry up? I’m in a rush."
Gu Yi stood in place, dazed.
The custor waiting to check out impatiently urged.
"Oh, sorry, sorry."
Gu Yi snapped back and completed the transaction.
Ye Qian returned to the register after finishing her al.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay? You look pale."
As soon as Ye Qian ca back, she noticed sothing was off with Gu Yi.
"Oh, I’m fine, really."
Gu Yi moved aside, letting Ye Qian take over.
Ye Hao overheard Ye Qian and walked over to Gu Yi.
"What’s wrong? Your hands are so cold."
He took Gu Yi’s hand, noticing sothing was amiss.
"What’s the na of the new person you hired? And where is he from?"
Ignoring Ye Hao, Gu Yi intently asked Ye Qian.
"My na is Wu Liang, from a village in the neighboring county."
Just finished moving the flour, Wu Liang ca out and answered when he heard Gu Yi questioning Ye Qian.
Gu Yi knew right away that she wasn’t mistaken—this was the sa Wu Liang who had ruined Ye Qian’s life in their past existence.
"I’m not feeling well, Ye Hao, take ho, please."
Gu Yi ignored Wu Liang and directly spoke to Ye Hao.
"Okay, let’s go ho."
Ye Hao, unsure of what was wrong with Gu Yi, noted she appeared unwell since seeing Wu Liang.
Thinking this, he glanced at Wu Liang again.
"Hao Hao, hurry and take your wife ho, maybe to the hospital for a checkup. She was fine earlier; what’s changed?"
Ye Fu quickly urged Ye Hao, seeing Gu Yi looking pale.
"Yes, brother, take sister-in-law to the hospital quickly."
Ye Qian also looked worried about how Gu Yi was doing.
"It’s okay, a bit of rest at ho will do. Dad, Qianqian, we’re heading back now."
Gu Yi figured she’d been shocked by seeing Wu Liang.
The sight of him brought back mories of Ye Qian’s despondency in another life.
Even if nothing had happened yet, Gu Yi couldn’t help but want to slap Wu Liang.
Ye Hao lifted Gu Yi in his arms and carried her ho.
As she exited, she shot Wu Liang a fierce glare.
Wu Liang caught that look and felt a chill up his spine.
"Don’t mind it; my sister-in-law is just not feeling well, she’s truly nice."
Ye Qian worried after Wu Liang spoke and her sister-in-law ignored him, so she hurriedly explained.
"I’m fine, don’t you know what I’m like? I’m not petty, am I?"
Seeing Ye Qian worrying, Wu Liang quickly reassured her with a smile.
But that final glance from Gu Yi as she left lingered in his mind.
Wu Liang felt as if Gu Yi recognized him and harbored an inexplicable grudge.
Sifting through his mories, Wu Liang was certain he’d never t Gu Yi, so where did her animosity spring from?
