Chapter Sixty-Eight: Attacking the "Creditor"
The lemon curd soufflé was unexpectedly popular, and it was appreciated by many customers, both men and women, young and old, for this new cake is a five-star praise, and even requires it to be served every day of the summer.
Because of the launch of new products, the price increase of the alley bakery did not affect the flow of customers, but gradually because of the launch of the new lemon series in summer, the popularity and fame are increasing.
In addition, these days, small shops have adopted a reservation system, and each table is set up for one hour to enjoy, and reservations must be made more than one day in advance to avoid congestion.
As a result, the crowded shop has also decreased a little, and although the flow of people has decreased a little, the business has not decreased, but because of the improvement of service, it has been praised by some young female customers.
Because the little brother of the glass house finally came out, served them cakes, milk tea, added sugar to them, and smiled at them, such a reservation system is really good!
The shop is developing step by step on the right track, it seems that everything is as usual, the wind and waves are as calm as the eve of a storm, Lou Qingyu has always remembered Yu Jimo's reminder in his heart, but the enemy is in the dark, and he doesn't know what kind of action will be taken.
However, Lou Qingyu didn't expect that the next frame she ushered in was not from Le Sixuan, but from her relatives.
In a quiet café next door to Dongmen Street, the waiter looked curiously at the table in the corner, what is the relationship between the delicate-looking young man and the graceful middle-aged woman? Could it be that they are mother and son, they don't look like each other, and they don't feel very intimate?
Lou Qingyu held the glass on the table with both hands, looked at the somewhat familiar and unfamiliar faces on the other side, his eyes were a little trance-like, as if through the middle-aged woman opposite, he recalled something, for a long time, his long eyelashes hung down, and he suppressed the complex emotions under his eyes.
The middle-aged woman in front of her is Lou Qingyu's mother's best friend Ge Yiqiu, when Lou Qingyu was young, he often went to Ge Yiqiu's house to play, but unfortunately after his parents passed away, he had automatically cut off contact with Ge Yiqiu, and he hadn't seen him for five or six years.
This time I suddenly came to her, I don't know if it was a blessing or a curse?
Picking up the boiled water in her hand and taking a sip slightly, the girl seemed to have collected her emotions and took the initiative to say, "Aunt Ge, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Ge Yiqiu put down the Blue Mountain Coffee in his hand, and his expression seemed to be a little emotional, "Yes, Auntie didn't expect that Qing Yu was already so old, and she also cut her hair like a boy, Auntie almost thought that she had misremembered her gender, why did Qing Yu suddenly become a boy." ”
In the end, Ge Yiqiu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile, her big wavy curly hair fell in front of her with her laughter, wearing a royal blue dress and a brand-name satchel in jujube, even if she was a woman in her 40s, her every move still exuded the style of a mature woman.
"Aunt Ge, is there something wrong with coming over this time?" Lou Qingyu was actually not in the mood to greet Ge Yiqiu.
Because she clearly remembered that her grandmother was handling her parents' funeral and was busy with illness, she went to Ge Yiqiu for help as soon as possible, but unfortunately Ge Yiqiu found a perfunctory excuse to deal with it, at that time she believed this Aunt Ge, until she saw the woman who said that she was busy one moment ago, and the next moment she followed the neighbor next door to prepare afternoon tea in the garden.
The smile on the corner of Ge Yiqiu's mouth froze, and he didn't dare to look at Lou Qingyu for a while, and he considered his language, "Actually, it's not a big deal, when your mother was in trouble, she borrowed a little money from your Aunt Ge, and now Auntie is tight, can you see if you can pay it back in the next few days?"
"Where's the IOU?"
"What IOU?" Ge Yiqiu pretended to be in his heart, and didn't react for a while.
Waiting for Qingyu's cold and indifferent black eyes upstairs, his body was agitated, and he said an embarrassed "ah", "At that time, Aunt Ge had such a good relationship with your mother, your mother said that she wanted to borrow money, where did your Aunt Ge ask your mother to write an IOU, don't you believe Aunt Ge?"
Unbelief!
This is Lou Qingyu's first reaction, his mother knows very well what her personality is, one is one, two is two, no matter how good the relationship is, she will write down an IOU, and the second uncle also has one, if Ge Yiqiu really lent money to his mother, how could he not write it?
Ge Yiqiu's words didn't get a response from Lou Qingyu, and his smile became even more embarrassing, "Qingyu is so capable now, come to think of it, don't you care about such a little money?"
The girl's eyes were shallow waves, and she suddenly asked, "Who told you?"
“?”
"I haven't seen it in five or six years, and I don't expect Aunt Ge to remember me as a little person, I think someone told me in front of Aunt Ge, right?" Lou Qingyu looked at Ge Yiqiu's eyes like quenched ice, indifferent and cold like a cold pool in the mountain stream, and his unhurried tone sounded even more embarrassing.
The middle-aged woman stroked her hair uncomfortably, "How come, Aunt Ge has been thinking about you." ”
"Oh, is it?" Lou Qingyu suddenly smiled in a low voice, his eyes were half-drooping, and the mockery in his eyes flashed, "Why haven't you seen Aunt Ge come to visit all these years?"
"Busy, what time is there"
"Are you busy with the Spring Festival and holidays?" The cold girl's black eyes looked at her fixedly, her eyes were still cold, "By the way, today is also a working day, is Auntie free today?"
Ge Yiqiu's face became a little ugly, she realized that it was not easy at all today, the little girl who spoke delicately and softly in her previous impression had already put on a protective cover like a hedgehog after the tempering of life.
"Qingyu, let's not mention this, it doesn't matter who tells Aunt Ge, let's talk about today's matter, right?"
"Aunt Ge probably doesn't know, my mother has an account book at home, as long as she has borrowed money from someone, she will remember it clearly in the account book, even my uncle's debt is in the account book, and Aunt Ge is no exception. ”
"After all, there is no IOU, and I'm afraid of making the wrong amount, otherwise, wait for me to go home and check the account book, and he will contact you later, how about it?"
"What if your mother forgets to write it, Qingyu, I have a relationship with your mother"
"I remember when my mother was alive, Aunt Ge borrowed a pearl necklace from my mother, and if I remember correctly, the one you wear around your neck now. ”
Ge Yiqiu subconsciously covered the pearl necklace around her neck, her face sank slightly, and when she was about to explain, the girl in front of her raised her eyes slightly, with a cold look in her eyes, and her cold gaze drove her to close her mouth with an invisible pressure.
"Since Uncle Wen passed away unexpectedly three years ago, if you calculate your daily expenses, Uncle Wen's family property has probably been squandered by you, right?"
"You can find me this time, Liang Minghui told you, right?"
"According to laws and regulations, the crime of extortion can be filed if it is more than 1,000 yuan, and the sentence is up to three years in prison, criminal detention or controlled release, I think Aunt Ge should not want to live in prison for a while, right?"
The middle-aged woman's face turned white, her lips trembled, and she didn't say anything, and left the café with her handbag.
Lou Qingyu settled the bill by himself, looked at a cup of 80 yuan Blue Mountain coffee, and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, no wonder Ge Yiqiu squandered it so quickly, never thought about making money in the past, and began to spend money like water.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the news of her remarriage can be heard.
