Siheyuan, I became a commercial tycoon in the culinary world
Chapter 228 Lou Xiao'e's Doubts [2]
At that moment, the tide of memories surged in like a dam breaking, and the once familiar figure seemed to overlap with He Xiangyang in front of him.
A strong sense of doubt surged in Lou Xiao'e's heart. Could it be that He Yuzhu, the owner of this He Ji Restaurant, was really the He Yuzhu who was the chef at the steel rolling mill?
Once this idea came into her mind, it grew wildly like weeds and could not be stopped.
In order to prove her guess, Lou Xiao'e immediately asked He Xiangyang about the status of his family members.
He Xiangyang had no idea of Lou Xiao'e's thoughts. He was only thinking about hiding his father He Yuzhu's experience at the steel rolling mill.
In his opinion, his father's past must never be known to others, especially the fact that his grandfather abandoned his father and aunt to go to Baoding City to join a gang. He felt that it was too embarrassing to tell it to others.
When He Yuzhu became the richest man in Hong Kong, he was never willing to show his true face in newspapers or on television, so no one knew the true face of this man who was on the list of Hong Kong's richest man, and Lou Xiao'e naturally didn't know either.
In this way, Lou Xiao'e once again lost the opportunity to confirm that He Yuzhu was the owner of He's Restaurant.
But on New Year's Eve of that year, Lou Xiao'e was always uneasy.
The fireworks outside the window bloomed brilliantly, and the colorful lights illuminated the entire night sky, but they could not dispel the fog in her heart.
The figure of He Xiangyang and that familiar shadow kept appearing in her mind. The doubts in her heart enveloped her like a thick fog, making her unable to calm down for a long time.
She paced back and forth in the room, her mind racing.
This left Lou Xiao'e's mother, Tan Yali, completely confused.
"Xiao'e, what are you doing? Are you worried about Xiaolin?..."
"Yeah..." Lou Xiao'e responded absentmindedly.
"You don't have to worry about this. Xiangyang is a good child. The He family became rich after Xiangyang grew up. He doesn't have any bad habits of a playboy. I'm relieved that Xiaolin can marry such a child..." Tan Yali comforted.
Lou Xiao'e stopped pacing and looked at her mother Tan Yali, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.
"Mom, it's not just because of Xiaolin. Whenever I see He Xiangyang, I always feel an indescribable sense of familiarity. This feeling makes me wonder if his father is the person I once knew."
Tan Yali frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Someone you know? Who is it that makes you so entangled?"
Lou Xiao'e sighed and said slowly, "Back then, there was a chef named He Yuzhu in the Jingzhou Steel Rolling Mill. Mom, you don't know, he...he once left a deep mark in my life.
Although he was just a chef at that time, he was a simple and honest man with superb cooking skills.
Seeing He Xiangyang now, some of his characteristics make me suspect that the owner of He Ji Restaurant is He Yuzhu back then. "
Tan Yali looked at Lou Xiaoe thoughtfully, "But so many years have passed, people change. Even if it's really the same person, so what?
Xiao'e, you have your own life now, Xiaolin, and our family business, why should you be so uneasy over a possible person? "
Lou Xiao'e shook her head, "Mom, you don't understand. I had feelings for him back then, but he rejected me. This has always been in my heart.
Now that such a possibility has suddenly arisen, I can't help but think about it.
If it is really him, I want to know how he has been through these years and why he has changed so much.”
Tan Yali held Lou Xiao'e's hand and said, "Xiao'e, let the past be the past. No matter if this person is the He Yuzhu of the past or not, we must look forward.
Xiaolin has found a good home now, and we should be happy for her instead of being troubled by these uncertainties."
Lou Xiao'e was silent for a moment. "Mom, I know you are right. But I just can't control my thoughts. Over the years, I thought I had let it go, but when I saw He Xiangyang, all those memories came flooding back."
"Xiao'e, you are just too strong-willed." Tan Yali gently patted Lou Xiao'e's shoulder, "You must learn to let go of the past and cherish your present life.
Xiaolin and Xiangyang are together. If they are happy, we should also bless them. As for the owner of the Heji Restaurant, whether it is He Yuzhu or not, it has nothing to do with our current life. "
Lou Xiao'e nodded slightly, "Mom, I understand. I just need some time to adjust my mindset. Maybe after a while, I won't be so entangled."
Tan Yali smiled and said, "Okay, then think about it carefully. It's New Year's Eve, don't let these things affect your mood. Let's spend the New Year together as a family."
Lou Xiao'e sat quietly in front of the window, the light of the fireworks gradually dimmed, and the room returned to peace. But her thoughts were like surging waves.
If the owner of He Ji Restaurant is really He Yuzhu, how should she face it? So many years have passed, and they have experienced too many changes.
She came to Hong Kong on a whim back then. Now she has achieved some success in business, but her love life has been full of twists and turns.
And He Yuzhu, who transformed from a chef in a steel rolling mill to the richest man in Hong Kong, must have a legendary story.
Lou Xiao'e wondered, if they really met again, how should she appear?
Should I face him with past memories and emotions, or as a mature business woman?
She didn't know whether the relationship between them was still the same as before, or whether they still needed to communicate.
Perhaps, she could first secretly investigate He Yuzhu's experiences over the years to understand how he got to where he is today.
But it seemed a little inappropriate to do so. After all, they had not been in contact for many years and she had no reason to snoop into his life.
Or maybe she should wait for the right opportunity and let fate decide if they would meet again.
If such a day really comes, she will face it calmly. No matter what the result is, at least she can give herself an explanation.
Lou Xiao'e sighed softly. She knew she couldn't keep dwelling on this issue.
She still has a daughter and her own career. Regardless of whether He Yuzhu is the owner of He Ji Restaurant, she will continue to move forward and live her life well.
However, that familiar figure, that lovely person, will leave an indelible mark in her heart, always reminding her of her past.
In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the first lunar month.
Sun Xiaolin and He Xiangyang have returned to Hong Kong after spending the New Year in Jingzhou.
On this day, Lou Xiao'e knew that Sun Xiaolin and He Xiangyang were coming to her house to pay New Year's greetings, so she asked Aunt Li to prepare the food long ago.
The new son-in-law is coming, no matter if his family runs a restaurant or does something else, we have to show some appreciation!
