Xirui stood by the door, watching the exchange of glances between the two with curiosity, and couldn't help but feel eager to make a move.

In all these years, she had never heard of anyone around Xue Jing.

Not only that, there wasn't even a woman with whom he had a close relationship.

In recent years, whenever Xirui heard him report on recent developments, she couldn't help but want to gossip.

However, Xirui was helpless because his ambiguous beginnings were always fooled by Xue Jing's jokes. After a long time, he gave up.

"Princess? Let's go." Qingque called.

She originally wanted to prevent Yinzhen from waiting downstairs for too long, so she urged him, but she didn't expect that Xirui would get anxious when she heard it.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Didn't she see that things were happening right in front of her? She had finally found a girl who was somewhat interested in Xue Jing.

Shouldn't we observe the situation carefully?

"Ahem~ Well... let's go first." Since Qingque had already called him out, Xirui couldn't just stand there any longer.

Seeing that Chen Xuenniang's face was flushed red, Xirui was afraid that she would get angry and cause him harm.

So he had no choice but to call his men and prepare to retreat.

"Erlang, wait a minute." Instead of waiting for Xue Jing's explanation, Zhou could no longer sit still when she saw him leaving with Xirui.

With the help of the people around him, he chased after him for a few steps.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation about the restaurant?" Zhou was extremely angry at this moment. She never knew that there was such a thing behind the Xue family's restaurant.

She felt that she had been deceived and betrayed, so naturally she was unwilling to let Xue Jing go so easily.

And Xirui...

In fact, she also wanted to keep the person to ask clearly, but the name of the Huang family in the west of the city was well-known in the whole Suzhou Prefecture.

Even if Zhou had this idea, he would not dare to act rashly for the time being.

Between two evils, Zhou chose the lesser one. She didn't have the courage to question Xirui in person, so she had to stop Xue Jing.

"What explanation? What explanation do you think I should give you?" Xue Jing believed that there was nothing he needed to explain to his sister-in-law alone.

In the past, there was no one to help at home, so he had to run around outside at a young age.

Now, there are dozens of people in the Xue family, all of whom depend on him for support, so it is even more unnecessary.

Thinking of this, Xue Jing's eyes turned colder. "If sister-in-law insists on getting an explanation, why not just go back and ask grandfather?"

If his grandfather's explanation wasn't enough, he could ask his eldest brother.

After several years of hard work, Xue Jing has made some progress.

He didn't take Zhou's anger seriously.

"Let's go." Xue Jing came to Xirui and his tone instantly softened.

The change was so obvious that Xirui couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body.

"Uh...Okay, let's go then."

When his eyes swept over Zhou and Chen Xuenniang's identical pale faces, Xirui sighed inwardly.

She has only been here for two days and hasn't figured out the situation yet, so it's not appropriate for her to interrupt.

As for Chen Xuenniang and Zhou Shi, Xue Jing had to deal with them himself.

So she didn't say much and walked out of the room first.

Walking through the crowded lobby until the moment he stepped out of the restaurant's door, Xirui couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How much does your family know about the restaurant?"

She knew that Xue Jing's father was a lazy man and never asked about family matters.

Naturally, this question is only directed at Xue Jing's grandfather and elder brother.

"Don't worry, they all know." Xue Jing said in a steady tone, with a bit of power in his voice that could calm people down.

Back then, their Wuhu Restaurant was able to regain its vitality overnight. Wasn’t Xirui their biggest backer?

It is impossible for Xue Jing not to reveal any information at all.

Even if he did his best to keep it secret, Xue Xiong would not believe it.

Instead of letting him make random guesses, it is better to give him some reassurance from the beginning.

After Xue Jing confirmed the cooperation matters with Chen Xin, he slowly began to reveal some information to his grandfather.

This includes the fact that Niuhulu was optimistic about their secret recipes and was willing to invest in Wuhu Restaurant.

Therefore, Xue Xiong has always known that there are other owners behind their restaurant.

"Then what's going on with your sister-in-law?" Xirui was puzzled.

You know, she is the one in their family who hates to put on airs the least.

If it weren't for Zhou's constant questioning, she wouldn't have done such a childish thing as bullying others so quickly.

They were chatting happily at the beginning, but it ended like this.

Xirui didn't know whether she was feeling disappointed or upset, but she still lost some interest.

"I think she just can't accept it for the time being... I'll talk to my eldest brother later and ask him to explain it clearly to my eldest sister-in-law." This was the only solution Xue Jing could think of.

It’s better to let his elder brother go than his younger brother-in-law, right?

What's more, Xue Jing also believed that with his elder brother's ability and character, he should be able to handle this matter.

"That's for the best, right?" Xirui said gloomily.

However, after this incident, Xirui knew in his heart that he could no longer be friends with Zhou and others.

She made up her mind that she must bring Tana and Mianling with her next time she went out. There was nothing to worry about without new friends, as she still had old friends.

At least they wouldn't mind the noisy market and would definitely be happy to go there with her.

Thinking of this, Xirui soon became happy again.

Following Su Peisheng's instructions, after finding Yinzhen's carriage, they headed towards the shipyard.

"Fourth brother, is our shipyard big?" Because he was about to see the shipyard he had been longing for, Xirui kept asking Yinzhen excitedly along the way.

After asking about the scale, he asked about the staff, after asking about the process, he asked about the business. In short, he asked everything she could think of at the time.

I almost asked Yinzhen questions that broke his defense.

"Our factory is already the largest in Suzhou Prefecture, with clear processes, complete production lines, and the order volume is second to none in the entire prefecture."

Fortunately, Yinzhen is no longer the gourd with the mouth sawed off.

When faced with his sister's questions, he was patient and answered them one by one.

Not only that, Xirui also learned from the conversation with him that it was actually him and Yinsi who were responsible for expanding external trade in their shipyard.

This is really amazing news.

If Yinzhen is allowed to negotiate business, won't it really put his partners in a cold and embarrassing situation?

Xirui wanted to say something several times but stopped herself, and finally she didn't feel comfortable enough to ruin his plan in front of him.

I could only suppress this question silently, thinking that I would ask the other brothers after I met them again.
