Chapter 699 We are all family (2/2)
When he returned, he wasn't able to set everything up in time because it was only him. His wife had to stay home and look after his mother, while his daughter needed to study for her exams.
”Give me one minute and I will have everything ready.”
His words fell as he turns away from them, but just as he was about to grab the chairs he had set on the side, everyone quickly intervenes.
”Uncle don't worry. We can get the chairs ourselves.”
”Take a rest uncle. I can fry food.”
”Uncle it's been a while. Have a drink with us tonight.”
Each person took over one of the jobs Uncle Nuo had to do. Their movements were natural like the food stall was home for them and had worked here for a long time.
Gui Tian Lan helps Uncle Nuo sit down on a chair and pats the middle-aged man's shoulder.
”Uncle you've worked hard. Tonight, you can enjoy yourself and relax. Let us youngsters watch the food stall for you.”
Uncle Nuo was put at a loss by the sudden change of events. This is his food stall but now he was being treated like a customer.
He couldn't even retaliate as no one gave him any room to speak. Now he can't help but wonder what the other sellers are thinking.
They must be thinking he is getting robbed.
However, as he watched each person busy themselves, he felt touched and his eyes turned moist.
Others may not understand, but the scene in front of him was like he had gone back in time to when Fate was still around.
He could remember each person like the young teenager or adult they once were. Only now, they were all mature adults and dressed properly.
If he didn't know, he would never think that they were once the stubborn and hardheaded delinquents he used to lecture for getting in trouble.
He inhales a sniffle and wipes his eyes to free himself of any tears. Quickly steadying himself, he turns to look at Yue Ling.
”Young Miss, this…”
Yue Ling sighs a smile and takes a seat next to him. Her head turns to look at the scene that touched Uncle Nuo's heart and her entire being softens.
”We all needed a breather. I hope you don't mind the big group.”
Hearing her words, Uncle Nuo shook his head and looks at the group of people putting themselves to work.
”What is there to mind? We are all family.”
He would often see everyone stop by his food stall before going home, but it wasn't often that he got to see them together like this.
As the night carried on for Yue Ling and her subordinates, in another part of Imperial, Lu Tian did not go home. His white Aston Martin pulls up to a dark building of 50-story and he steps out from the driver seat.
