Chapter 517 (2/2)

“No, no. I’m too old to continue with my business. As I don’t have children, I decided to give it to you.” Boss Tong waved her hand and looked at Yuan Zhou with an amiable gaze.

“Okay. Now that you want to have a rest, I can’t stop you. Where do you prepare to live after you finish your travels?” Yuan Zhou asked a very practical question.

“You are young, but so meddlesome.” Boss Tong chided him smilingly.

“Of course. I’m not a bully that forcibly occupies others’ house.” Yuan Zhou made a small joke.

“Based on your character, you definitely are not.” Boss Tong burst into laughter and said hurriedly.

“You still have to tell me about your future plans.” Yuan Zhou revealed a rare look of persistence.

“I did plan to tell you that I was going to the old folk’s home. Many elderly people like me live there and I think we can talk about many things we have in common.” When Boss Tong spoke of the old folk’s home, she appeared calmly, without the slightest reluctance.

“Is it an old folk’s home in Chengdu?” Yuan Zhou asked meticulously.

“Yeah, of course. Though it’s not my hometown, it’s better than my hometown. Where else shall I go if I don’t come back here?” Boss Tong sighed yet without sorrow.

“Well, let me pay for the old folk’s home. What do you think?” Yuan Zhou said with a resolute tone.

Boss Tong was like an elder of Yuan Zhou. Besides that, Yuan Zhou had lost all his relatives and even this familiar elderly neighbor would leave, Yuan Zhou naturally wanted to do something for her.

Moreover, Boss Tong had truly taken Yuan Zhou as her own boy.

Once Yuan Zhou said that, Boss Tong became dumbfounded. She looked at the determined look on Yuan Zhou’s face and suddenly smiled.

Boss Tong revealed a relieved smile on her skinny face and then she said, “Okay. You pay for the old folk’s home.”

“Um. When are you going?” Yuan Zhou stayed silent for an instant and then asked.

“Just in a few days. I have nothing to take with me and just need a ticket.” Boss Tong said lightly.

“Where to?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“I prepare to learn from the young and go on a spontaneous trip. I decided to follow the trend.” Boss Tong appeared delighted and eager as if she were a kid who looked forward to traveling.

“Let me see you off.” Yuan Zhou said seriously.

“No need. Why do you need to see me off for?” Boss Tong refused flatly.

“Then please come have a meal tomorrow. Let’s have a meal together.” When Yuan Zhou said that, there was a little hint of reluctance to let go of her in his tone.

“Okay. I will probably never go to your restaurant to eat unless you treat me due to the high price.” Boss Tong said smilingly.

“Let me cook the tofu pudding for you. I remember you liked eating it.” Yuan Zhou thought of Boss Tong’s favorite dish.

“No problem. I’ll come over here to eat at noon tomorrow.” Boss Tong patted on Yuan Zhou’s arm as if to comfort him.

“Um. I’ll wait for you.” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“Perhaps a lot will change a lot when I come back one day. However, it should be all because of you.” When Boss Tong walked to the door, she looked at the bustling street and suddenly said while thinking about something.

“Yeah. You can come to eat again then.” Yuan Zhou straightforwardly nodded and said immodestly.

“That’s for sure.” Boss Tong answered readily.

“Just remember my treat at noon tomorrow.” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to repeat the same thing twice.

“Got it.” Boss Tong walked into her own shop.

“Thank you.” Looking at Boss Tong’s back, Yuan Zhou said that softly with a voice that only he himself could hear.
