Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 430 Four Years Later

Xiao Shen was probably drunk; he slid to the ground, clutching his stomach, and surprisingly did not retaliate.

Ning Zhiyuan was about to fight again when Xiao Ruonan stopped him, saying, "Forget it, A-Lie, let's just ignore him!"

Half an hour later, Xiao Shen was found by the servants in the house next to the green belt in the front yard. He was unconscious and smelled of alcohol. No matter how they called him, they could not wake him up. It took two servants to help him into the building.

When this reached Old Master Xiao's ears, he went to reprimand Xiao Shen the very next morning, but Xiao Shen still acted as if he was just giving up.

During this period, the media has frequently captured photos of Xiao Shen, the head of the Xiao Group, getting completely drunk in nightclubs.

Some say it's a way for him to release his emotions due to high work pressure.

Some say he had his eye on a female worker at a nightclub, which is why he frequently went there to tip her.

Some say he was influenced by his previous marriage and used this method to numb himself.

No one knows the real reason, but Su Ying believes it could never be the third one.

From then on, Xiao Shen rarely went to the company, and even missed various company meetings. He was always reeking of alcohol and had long lost his former energy and spirit, as if he had become a completely different person.

Finally, one day, another piece of news came from him.

He is going to get engaged to Qian Ke'er, the eldest princess of the Qian family.

Xiao Ruonan confirmed this with Su Ying, "Su Ying, my fourth brother is getting engaged to Qian Ke'er. I'm sorry, I couldn't stop it!"

During this time, Su Ying, who was unmarried and unemployed, was helping out at Xiao Ruonan's wonton shop. She was making wontons when she heard the news.

She was new to the job and a little inexperienced, but the wrapping was quite neat. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and she will definitely wrap it even better.

After finishing wrapping the last one, Su Ying turned on the tap to wash her hands. Only after drying her hands did she say, "Ruonan, what do you mean by telling me this? Don't you know that your fourth brother and I are divorced? If you think I still have feelings for him, then you're wrong. I won't feel regret, I won't feel remorse, and I won't feel heartache. Do you know how I feel right now? I feel nothing!" Xiao Ruonan then realized that she had done something wrong.

Su Ying had finally recovered from that failed marriage, but she insisted on dragging her back into the mire.

Ugh! I'm such a chatterbox!

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law... uh, no, Sister Su Ying, I just... never mind, it's my fourth brother who's wronged you. He's not good enough for you. Who cares who he's engaged to? I won't mention anything about him in front of you again! Anyway, he's going abroad with Qian Ke'er to handle overseas company affairs. They'll probably be gone for at least two or three years. Sister Su Ying, just let them be!"

Su Ying paused slightly as she drank the water.

Although she had been healing on her own and had emerged from the shadows, her heart still stirred when she heard that Xiao Shen was going abroad with Qian Ke'er.

She lost in the end, lost to Xiao Shen. Shen Qingfeng was right, time heals all wounds. Hopefully, in a month, a year, or even three years, that person will disappear without a trace from her memory...

The next day.

On her way to work, Su Ying saw an airplane streak across the azure sky overhead, like fleeting clouds, gone in an instant.

She gazed into the distance, as if bidding a true farewell to the past.

Then he took out his phone and made a call, "Dr. Shen, let's give it a try!"

Four years later.

"Hello, Mr. Su!"

"Hello, Mr. Su!"

"Good morning, Ms. Su!" Su Ying, wearing a white satin shirt with a loose bow at her neck and a black suit skirt that went past her knees, strode confidently through the restaurant lobby.

Xiao Ruonan's wonton shop business was getting better and better. The following year, she opened a branch and then expanded the shop. When she was short-handed, she asked Su Ying to help manage it.

Now, Ruyi Wonton is the largest and most luxurious store in Ningcheng. It is managed by Su Ying. Under her management, the store's performance has been increasing day by day, even surpassing other competitors, and its annual turnover once reached the top.

As a result, she became the most outstanding female entrepreneur in Ningcheng this year.

She ran the restaurant with great success. To keep her, Xiao Ruonan even gave her two-thirds of the shares. In other words, Su Ying was the owner of the restaurant.

"Old Xu, why aren't you wearing your chef's hat?" Su Ying noticed this while inspecting the kitchen and promptly corrected him.

Old Xu is one of the head chefs at this restaurant. "President Su, it's a bit hot today. Besides, I don't participate in the cooking, so nothing will happen!"

Su Ying said seriously, "Not wearing a chef's hat could very likely affect the hygiene of the food. This is not only related to the reputation of our restaurant, but also to the health of our customers. This is the most basic requirement for our kitchen staff. Besides, the kitchen is equipped with air conditioning. If the cooling is not good, you can give me feedback at any time, and I will find someone to fix it immediately!"

"Okay, I'll put it on right away!" Old Xu reluctantly gave in.

"Foreman Wang, come here for a moment!" Su Ying then began her inspection of the hall.

Supervisor Wang was a woman a bit older than her. "President Su, you wanted to see me?"

Su Ying showed her the dusty white gloves. "Is this how you clean the entryway? What's the point of paying so many cleaners?"

Supervisor Wang was filled with remorse. "Yes, yes, Mr. Su is right. I'll find someone to clean it again right away!"

Su Ying's decisive and straightforward nature is well-known in the restaurant. While she may be a manager, she is indeed quite capable.

After finishing her workday, Su Ying changed back into casual clothes and stayed until the flow of customers thinned out before leaving.

"Mommy!" A little girl holding a doll ran towards her with her short legs.

Su Ying crouched down and opened her arms to welcome her.

"Mommy, why are you only getting off work now? Daddy and I have been waiting for you for ages!" the little girl complained in her childish voice.

"Sweetie, Mommy works very hard. You can't talk to Mommy like that, okay?" The man who followed closely behind was as gentle and refined as ever. He took out the bottle of Chinese medicine he had prepared in advance, unscrewed it, and handed it to Su Ying. "It's still warm. Drink it quickly!"

"Thank you!" Su Ying forced herself to drink it all in one go.

She hates drinking alcohol, but due to her health condition, she has to drink one packet every day.

"Shall we eat out today?" Shen Qingfeng tentatively suggested.

Su Ying gave a thumbs-up and asked with a smile, "We can't do it in our restaurant, can we?"

"No, let's go eat Western food. Yuanyuan wants pizza!" Shen Qingfeng rubbed the little girl's head.

Yuanyuan jumped up and down, "Yes, yes, Yuanyuan wants to eat pizza! Yuanyuan wants to eat pizza!"

"Alright, alright, let's have Western food then. It'll be a good opportunity for me to learn about the management of this restaurant!"

Two adults, one on each side, held the little girl's hands, creating a heartwarming scene.

The little girl had big amber eyes, and even her hair was light brown and slightly curly. She had a round face, and her little face was white and tender, just as cute as the doll in her arms.
