The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 269 The Fairy's Identity Revealed Again

Qu Si Ning returned to the store door and took a reluctant look, thinking back to everything that had happened in the store. Seeing that the store had arranged for a new boss to go in, she could only stand at the door for a few more seconds.

The income from the store opening has not yet reached the amount of money she paid for the store, and Qu Si Ning decided from the beginning to split the operating income with Xia Yu. So, although she wanted to rent the store and continue her business, she gave up after thinking about it.

Meng Xiaodong, the popular star, was asked to take down the "human-shaped standee" at the store entrance, but Xia Yu's "human-shaped standee" was not only not taken down, but was instead modified with the detailed process of "Xia Yu owing debts and not paying them back".

People who were unaware of the situation were complaining while getting their manicures done in the store, and were discussing Xia Yu's shameful behavior of "not paying back his debts."

Half of the customers "follow the crowd" and half "remain silent". In short, in their mouths, Xia Yu is now "notorious".

Bai Jin was arranged by Li Jian to take over the [Meimei Cosmetics Store]. When he saw Qu Si Ning standing at the door looking at her reluctantly, he even wanted to tease her.

"Oh, isn't it just that you can't be the boss? That's easy. If you stay with me, you will be the boss's wife."

As Bai Jin spoke, he pretended to pull Qu Si Ning's hand and said with a smile: "When we get married, the store will be yours, and the boss will be yours too. Isn't that the best of both worlds? What do you think?"

Qu Si Ning's face revealed "disgust" as she dodged Bai Jin's hand and turned away without even saying a word.

Xia Yu and Meng Xiaodong learned at the same time that Qu Si Ning's store had been taken over. Xia Yu felt "very sorry", but Meng Xiaodong generously said that she could provide funds for Qu Si Ning to reopen the store.

As long as she could pay back the more than 2 million yuan she spent on the store, Qu Si Ning could keep her store. But she refused Meng Xiaodong's help. After this incident, she realized that doing everything herself was always more reliable than "getting a bargain".

……

After Qu Si Ning left the store, she went shopping alone, bought some clothes, ate various delicacies, returned home, played some games, and finally drank two bottles of beer sadly.

Shang Jingyu was on a business trip and could not be contacted by phone or seen in person.

Qu Si Ning thought of Xia Yu, who might be in the same pain as her, and immediately took out her cell phone to make a call.

As soon as the call was connected, Qu Si Ning asked with a half-drunk smile: "Xiao Xiazi, where are you?"

Hearing that Qu Si Ning had been drinking, Xia Yu felt very embarrassed, and after a while he replied: "I'm at Luo Fan's rental house."

In Luo Fan’s own home?
Qu Si Ning smiled and said, "Rental house? I heard that he bought that house. Are you two living there?"

"He bought it? And he kept it from me..." Xia Yu looked at the house in front of him in surprise. Everything was exactly the same as it was at the beginning.

"By the way, why did you and your second cousin suddenly fall out? What happened?" Qu Si Ning asked.

They hadn't been in touch for a long time. Qu Si Ning heard about Xia Yu's "breakup" only afterwards, and she also found out about Xia Yu and Li Jian's "falling out" only afterwards.

"I'm sorry, it was clearly me who wanted to give you this store, but now..." Xia Yu did not directly answer Qu Si Ning's question, and Qu Si Ning also realized that she didn't want to say it.

"Oh, it's okay. I've already experienced what it's like to be a boss and earned hundreds of thousands. Let's split it equally and I'll transfer it to your bank card later." Qu Si Ning comforted Xia Yu in return. She tacitly stopped asking about things Xia Yu didn't want to talk about.

"That's what you earned through hard work. Keep it for yourself and don't give it to me." Xia Yu replied.

……

After Qu Si Ning adjusted her mood, she bought a lot of snacks that both she and Xia Yu liked, prepared a bottle of beer, and planned to go find Xia Yu, and the two of them would not stop drinking until they were drunk.

Just as Qu Si Ning had imagined, when they arrived at Luo Fan's own home, they felt free as if they were "in an empty place".

Xia Yu bought various vegetables, Qu Si Ning went to cook, Xia Yu helped her, and the two of them worked together to prepare a full table of dinner.

At a glance, the table was filled with: cola chicken wings, lemon chicken feet, braised pork elbow, spicy spareribs, stir-fried eggplant with green pepper, stir-fried egg with loofah, cold-mixed bitter melon, cold-mixed zheergen, stir-fried bacon with garlic moss, vegetarian melon and bean soup, etc. "Cheers!"

"Haha! If you are unhappy about something, retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The two clinked their glasses, smiled at each other, and began to chat and eat.

After being slightly tipsy, Xia Yu took the initiative to share the story of his "fake breakup" with Luo Fan, as well as the causes and consequences of his "falling out" with Li Jian.

However, Qu Si Ning was confused by what she heard. She even suspected that Xia Yu was making up a story after getting drunk.

"Xia Zi..." Qu Si Ning reached out and touched Xia Yu's forehead worriedly, then touched her own forehead, and murmured to herself: "It's not hot! Why are you talking nonsense?"

Xia Yu thought back to when she had just come down to earth, and under the influence of alcohol she talked about everything that had happened since she came down to earth. She felt sad because her relationship with Li Jian had become like this.

When Xia Yu mentioned that Li Jian took a blow from Yan Lan for her, and also mentioned that she had trespassed into the underworld to save Luo Fan's life, Qu Si Ning picked up her cell phone in panic and was about to call "120".

"Xiao Ning'er..." Xia Yu said as she walked over and hugged Qu Si Ning, crying, "I'm sorry... I didn't expect Second Senior Brother to be so stingy that he even wanted to take back the money he spent on me. He has lived in the mortal world for tens of thousands of years and has so much money. To him, this amount is just a small amount. Why is he so stingy?"

Several...tens of thousands of years?

Qu Si Ning had already dialed the three numbers "120", but was hesitant to press "Dial".

She also never understood why Li Jian didn't look any younger than most of them, but he seemed to have endless money. He was generous and allowed Xia Yu to use his bank card to buy villas and stores, and invested 100 million in Meng Xiaodong's TV series.

This is really not an income that an average person can achieve in their entire life, not to mention that Li Jian only looks to be in his thirties.

"Xiao Ning'er..."

"Xiao Ning'er..."

"I'm here... I'm here." Qu Si Ning hugged Xia Yu tightly, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly.

She still put down the phone, thinking it was unlikely. What if she made a call and found out that Xia Yu was just "drunk", wouldn't that be a false alarm?
"Xiao Ning'er!"

Xia Yu's face gradually turned red, his eyes blurred, and suddenly he pushed Qu Si Ning away, mistaking her for Li Jian, and asked: "You...you are my second senior brother, why did you betray Master and us? You...you want me to choose between the 'Marriage Bracelet' and you..."

"I choose 'Marriage Bracelet'... see..." Xia Yu said, while showing the "Marriage Bracelet" that had been hidden in front of Qu Si Ning, and repeated: "I choose... my bracelet!"

The "marriage bracelet" was shining with golden light, and the light rushed into Qu Si Ning's shocked eyes. She held up Xia Yu's wrist and took a look. It was the first time she saw this so-called "marriage bracelet".

Before Qu Si Ning could come to her senses, she saw Xia Yu couldn't reach the dish she wanted because she was standing too far away, so she waved her hand and cast a spell, and the pork elbow with sauce flew directly into her hand. Xia Yu picked up the pork elbow and ate it with satisfaction.

"I'm drunk... I'm drunk too..."

"This shouldn't be the case. When did my alcohol tolerance become so poor? Even my eyes are starting to blur..."

"It's okay, it's just because I was drunk..."

Qu Si Ning was in a daze, and after a while she started eating while talking to herself.

While eating, Qu Si Ning saw a plate of fried bacon with garlic shoots in front of Xia Yu, but she couldn't reach it. She was about to stand up to pick up the dish, but saw Xia Yu smiled, stretched out his finger and pointed lightly, and the dish flew in front of Qu Si Ning.

Qu Si Ning widened her eyes. Xia Yu urged her to pick up the dishes quickly. By the time she had picked up the dishes, the dish had flown back to its original position.
