Translated by Kollumceti Exiled Rebels Scanlations

The next morning, he got a call from Aunt Shen, “I’ve already reached home and had a good nap. Where are you guys? Quickly come and pay your respects! Remember to bring your green onion little beauty. I, your aunt, will be waiting.”

Shen Fu’s eyes darkened and he just wanted to curse people. However, the one on the other end of the phone was his own aunt. He could only swallow his belly full of resentment again, before turning his head to ask Lin ShuYi to get up.

Lin ShuYi could not fall asleep for a long time after being woken up at two o’clock in the morning. He had been sleeping very soundly and was woken by Shen Fu. Lin ShuYi opened his eyes dazedly, with ‘I’m still very, very sleepy’ written on his face. Shen Fu felt his heart ache upon seeing this and let him go back to sleep again, intending to organize everything before waking him up again.

First, he called Tang Shuang and asked him to help open the store. Recently, Tang Shuang had made rapid progress. Although he had not learned many dishes, it was still possible to temporarily hold the fort. He also called Old man Yang and asked him to give Tang Shuang a hand. Then he started to prepare to go to H City. He had finally discovered that they were running from one side to the other for this and that matter more frequently than anything else. He definitely had to get this house ready and get them all to live here.

New Year’s Day was in half a month’s time. It seemed that he had to get it done before the New Year, no matter what. Otherwise, he had a hunch that they would be running from one side to the other even more frequently.

When everything was arranged, Shen Fu went back to the room and woke Lin ShuYi up. Lin ShuYi was mostly awake this time. He remembered that Aunt Shen had come back yesterday as soon as he heard that they were going to H City. So he immediately got up and dressed, while thinking: His restaurant had opened only a few months ago, yet he was temporarily closing it every two or three days. If this continued, they would really have to close down sooner or later.

But it was really a big deal that Aunt Shen came back this time. After all, it was the first time that Lin ShuYi and Aunt Shen were meeting. Yet, before two people got into the car, Aunt Shen’s call came again. “That, there’s no need to come. We’re going to visit you with the whole family and take a look at the warm nest you’ve just made at the same time.”

Aunt Shen could hear Shen Fu gnashing his teeth from far away and laughed so much till she was trembling, “Then, how about we don’t go over anymore. You guys come over?”

Shen Fu’s face was all black.

He hung up the phone with a ‘click’.

Lin ShuYi was putting on his seat belt. Looking at Shen Fu’s expression, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“We don’t have to go, they’re on their way here.”

This created a deep first impression of this Aunt who was already in her thirties yet still so bizarre for Lin ShuYi. The two men parked the car and then turned back to open the shop.

Tang Shuang was preparing to open the restaurant while his eyes were heavy with sleep. He was extremely happy upon seeing the two of them come back, “Bro Shen? You’re not going?”

Shen Fu nodded with a black face.

Tang Shuang jumped in joy and turned to go back, “It’s still early. I’ll go back and catch up on my sleep.”

Then his collar was grabbed by Shen Fu who hauled him back.

Most of the preparation work in the morning was done by Lin ShuYi. After all, Tang Shuang had just started to learn and Lin ShuYi did not feel assured to leave everything to him. However, today was an exception. Shen Fu saw that Lin ShuYi was still somewhat exhausted as he yawned. So he shamelessly ordered Tang Shuang, “You didn’t forget what has been taught to you before, right? He didn’t sleep well last night. You do it today.”

Tang Shuang looked like there was no hope in life, Bro Shen, this treatment is too different. It was a big matter if Brother Xiao Yi did not sleep well. However, he was called up by them early in the morning and did not sleep well at all, was this not a big matter too?

His eyes that were full of accusation had not even reached Shen Fu when they were selectively ignored by him. Instead, it was Lin ShuYi who felt it was against his conscience, “I’ll do it myself.”

Tang Shuang looked at him like he was the Saviour.

Lin ShuYi eyed Tang Shuang before he said, “What if he doesn’t do it properly and ruins our reputation?”

Tang Shuang coughed up blood and went to prove his ability with a ‘my life is hopeless’ expression.

Lin ShuYi was chased to take a nap by Shen Fu. Lin ShuYi did not want to look listless since he still had to entertain Aunt Shen in the afternoon, so he went to sleep. Shen Fu took some time to look at the house. It so happened that the house was about to be done. Since they all came down this time, he might as well let them stay here.

Before long, the Shen Family arrived at about 9 o’clock. There were three cars lined in a row. They drove into ChaoYang Street like ghosts entering a village. Everyone around the XiQin Restaurant knew that this was the Shen Family at first glance. Old Master Shen, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, would greet the people he knew that passed by from time to time.

Aunt Shen sat in back and looked at Master Shen’s friendly smile, “Oh? Old man, you look like you’re getting on really well with people.”

She totally did not resemble a daughter who had came back after a long absence and saw her father.

Mother Shen was very close to this little sister-in-law whom she had not seen for a long time. They sat close together just like blood-related sisters, talking and laughing, “Don’t look at how much Dad opposed them at first. In fact, he really likes that child Xiao Yi now. Every now and then, he would want to run over here. How is it possible for him to be unfamiliar with them?”

The car has already arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. One of the girls immediately spotted these cars from the corner of her eye. The cars did not look very impressive but were actually quite expensive. The three newcomers had never seen the Shen Family before, and the girl was puzzled for a moment. However, there were many customers who specially came down to this restaurant based off its reputation and these people also drove good cars. So despite her doubts, the girl did not think much about it, assuming that they were customers coming to the restaurant.

Thus, she rushed up to welcome them.

“Welcome to XiQui Restaurant, please come in.” The girl smiled sweetly. Normally she did not behave so demurely, but her manners in front of the customers were worthy of praise.

Aunt Shen was the first to open the door and get out of the car, “Little lass, are you the waitress here?”

The girl nodded her head and stared at the short-haired beauty in front of her, who’s looked between the age of a woman and a young girl. Just as she was privately lamented about how beautiful the guests were today, the rest of the people in the car came out one after another.

The girl was completely stunned and her mouth was nearly dropping open.

The senior was full of energy, dignified and amiable. The middle-aged man was dressed in neat and straight attire, yet he had the steadfastness and handsomeness of a mature man. The beautiful married woman nestled next to him was young and beautiful. All looked dignified and respectable.

A fair-haired and blue-eyed handsome foreign man walked up to the short-haired beauty who first spoke to her. He held the waist of the short-haired beauty in a loving and affectionate manner.

The most important thing was that the two handsome men who suddenly came out of the last car were equally matched with their handsome Bro Shen. One of them even looked quite similar to Bro Shen?

The girl’s jaw dropped as she dazedly stared at the group.
