Chapter 361: A long-planned plan
The next day it was time for the restaurant to open.
Li Guoqiang and Xiaofeng went to the hotel early in the morning to help keep an eye on it.
Zhou Meiling also wanted to go to the hotel to help.
But Li Guoqiang felt that she didn't need to keep an eye on this kind of thing, so he let her rest at home.
Qin Huairu didn't go out today, she had done all the things she had to do, and now she can open and open for business hours.
But she can't open it today, today is Li Guoqiang's business time.
So many people know when Li Guoqiang opened the store, and there must be many people who want to see it.
One person can only eat one shop.
If her family opened a store at this time, the turnover would inevitably be divided.
She has a big boss behind her, and she has to hand over a satisfactory result on the business day.
So she has a day off today.
Qin Huairu found out that Zhou Meiling didn't go out in the courtyard this morning.
So she came up with an idea.
Zhou Meiling didn't have anything to do today, she just wanted to clean all the things in the house.
I saw Qin Huairu coming to her house.
Zhou Meiling raised her eyebrows.
Qin Huairu is hostile to Li Guoqiang, and she, as Li Guoqiang's wife, must know it.
And the two of them are particularly-for-tat during this period of time.
At this time, Qin Huairu came to her, and Zhou Meiling knew that this was definitely not a good thing.
"Is there anything you want me to do?"
Qin Huairu heard Zhou Meiling's question.
She replied to Zhou Meiling.
"I'm going to hold a small tea party, which is what foreigners like to call afternoon tea.
"Let's eat together."
Zhou Meiling did not answer.
She stared at Qin Huairu's eyes, wanting to see what else Qin Huairu wanted to say.
Qin Zhunru misunderstood what Zhou Meiling meant.
"Don't worry, I'm not asking you alone, everyone else in the courtyard is there."
"But it's all women, and I will provide everything you eat and drink, so you don't have to worry so much."
"Or are you afraid?" Qin Huairu's voice just fell.
Zhou Meiling smiled.
"Afraid? What am I afraid of? ”
Qin Huairu also smiled.
"I'm afraid I'll do it to you, you must know that I don't deal with your husband."
Zhou Meiling nodded with a smile and said.
"I do know, thank you very much for your kindness, tell me the time, I'll go in the afternoon."
Qin Huairu couldn't be proud.
She just said that on purpose.
If she didn't use the agitation method, Zhou Meiling would definitely not go to afternoon tea with her.
After telling Zhou Meiling the time and place, she turned around and went back.
Zhou Meiling watched Qin Huairu's back go away, and she shook her head.
She didn't know what Qin Huairu wanted to do, but it was definitely not a good thing.
She's not the kind of person who would do anything unfavorable to herself because of a little agitation.
She would be willing to go, just because she wanted to see what Qin Huairu wanted to do.
It was a little boring in the yard today, and Qin Huairu just happened to give her a fun time.
The place for afternoon tea is in the backyard of the courtyard.
The people who went were all middle-aged women.
Among all of them, Zhou Meiling is the best-looking.
Everyone thought it was strange.
Obviously, Zhou Meiling didn't dress up much, but she always felt that Zhou Meiling had a particularly natural and beautiful feeling.
There were about 20 or so people who came, and almost no people who went out to work were here.
Seeing that these people had come to her afternoon tea, Qin Huairu couldn't be proud.
She bought a lot of melon seeds and candies, and also got coffee from the recent hot door.
I heard that this thing is very popular with foreigners.
So she specially made a few packets of noodles to make a few cups of coffee to drink.
Don't look at it, it's just a few packs, it costs her a lot of money.
"Okay, okay, everybody is a yard person. So I've seen a lot of people in the world, but it's probably the first time we've gotten together like this, right? ”
"All the things and all the consumption today are all produced by Qin Huairu."
The people in the courtyard were all scolding her.
So whatever she said, everyone agreed.
Every time Qin Huairu said something, she had to take a look at Zhou Meiling.
She wanted to show off, but unfortunately Zhou Meiling didn't even give her a look.
I have been drinking tea quietly.
She doesn't pretend.
Zhou Meiling actually likes to drink coffee.
But after drinking coffee, she is prone to falling asleep in the middle of the night.
So she just drank some tea.
The afternoon tea had already started for more than half an hour, and Zhou Meiling did not say a word to Qin Huairu during the whole process.
Qin Huairu couldn't hold it back, she said to Zhou Meiling.
"Meiling, sister, you're younger than me, right? Then can I call you sister? ”
Zhou Meiling gently put down the teacup in her hand.
"Of course not, if I were your sister, wouldn't my husband be your brother-in-law?"
"I can't say anything about my seniority, so you might as well just call me by my full name."
She looked into Qin Huairu's eyes and replied.
Qin Huairu's face froze for a moment, she just wanted to get close first.
As a result, I didn't expect to be directly blocked back by Zhou Meiling.
"Oh, how convenient it is to call Zhou Meiling, I'll call you Meiling!"
Zhou Meiling did not object.
She has been there to drink tea and has not left.
I just want to see what means Qin Huairu wants to use.
Qin Huairu took so much effort to call her to the afternoon tea bureau, definitely not exactly wanting to show off.
So she had been waiting for Qin Huairu to be able to help but use tricks against her.
It's a pity that Qin Huairu didn't say anything except for chatting with her occasionally.
This made Zhou Meiling a little disappointed.
Originally, she thought that Qin Huairu wanted to do something to her.
If Qin Huairu really wanted to play some tricks, she would be able to tell Li Guoqiang about this matter as a joke.
Just when Zhou Meiling was disappointed and about to leave, a woman next to her bumped into her.
"Oops, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"I didn't mean to!"
Zhou Meiling felt that this was not a big deal.
So she shook her head at the woman and said, "It's okay."
After a long time, she realized that it was almost evening.
So she said to Qin Huairu.
"Okay, I should go too, it's almost evening, I need to pick up my kids, and I have to cook."
Qin Huairu glanced at the sky.
Then he nodded in reply.
"You're right, everyone should go back to cooking."
Zhou Meiling didn't say anything more.
She was about to stand up and leave, but Qin Huairu suddenly exclaimed.
"Oops, where's my stuff!"
Zhou Meiling looked over suspiciously.
Then I saw Qin Huairu looking for something in place with a anxious face.
Zhou Meiling has no interest in staying here with them to find things.
So she said to the others.
"If it's okay, then I'll go first."
When Qin Huairu heard Zhou Meiling's words, she immediately glanced at the woman next to her.
"You wait! Huairu lost something.."
Zhou Meiling nodded.
"I know she's lost something, what's wrong?"
The woman went up and grabbed Zhou Meiling.
"If you want to leave, then you have to search us first, in case you steal Huairu's things?"
When Zhou Meiling heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched speechlessly.
She had a hunch of what would happen next, and she should already know what was going on in front of her.
Sure enough, she carried a jade pendant she didn't recognize.
This jade pendant was directly ripped out.
When the woman saw this jade pendant, she immediately pointed at Zhou Meiling and shouted, "You steal!" ”
Zhou Meiling sighed with some disappointment.
"You didn't lose this thing, how would you know that it was something Qin Huairu lost."
When the woman heard this, her expression immediately became panicked.
She glanced at Qin Huairu quickly.
Then she forcibly justified herself.
"Because I know it's this jade pendant that she lost!"
"I've seen this jade pendant before." Zhou Meiling is not in a hurry to leave now.
She finally understood that Qin Huairu didn't hold back the good thing.
Qin Huairu has been waiting for her to leave, but she has endured it all the time in order to wait for Qin Huairu to make a move.
Both men hoped that the other would make a move quickly, but neither did.
This also made Zhou Meiling speechless that the trick set by Qin Huairu was just such an old-fashioned routine.
"Okay, then you have to tell some evidence, such as the evidence that I stole this jade pendant."
The woman heard Zhou Meiling's question.
She replied to Zhou Meiling without thinking about it.
"What do you mean by asking for evidence?"
"This piece of evidence was taken from you, isn't this ironclad evidence?"
Zhou Meiling nodded.
"You're right, but I don't seem to be asking you, I'm asking Qin Huairu."
"Could it be that your name is Qin Huairu?"
This woman is the newly married daughter-in-law of Uncle Wang's son in the courtyard, and she is not familiar with Zhou Meiling.
Zhou Meiling knew at a glance that she had planned with Qin Huairu and said this deliberately.
The woman couldn't say that Zhou Meiling, she could only focus on Qin Huairu for help.
Qin Huairu seemed unflustered at this time.
"Meiling, do you have any difficulties? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly, it doesn't matter. ”
Qin Huairu's sentence made it clear that she wanted to kill Zhou Meiling for stealing.
Zhou Meiling is not so stupid.
However, Qin Huairu's sentence of "Meiling" just now directly gave her goosebumps all over her body.
"Don't, don't call me that, I've got goosebumps."
Zhou Meiling and Li Guoqiang have been together for a long time, and even their speaking styles are gradually similar.
Qin Huairu felt that she had seen traces of Li Guoqiang from Zhou Meiling, which made her even more angry.
It was at this time that most of the people who had gone out to work returned.
After all, it's already off-duty at this time.
When they came back from work, they found that their mother-in-law was not at home.
So they shouted their names everywhere.
Their own daughters-in-law called all their men to the backyard.
This caused the people around Zhou Meiling and Qin Huairu to gradually increase.
"What's going on?"
"Where is the thief?"
None of these people who went out to work knew what was going on.
All they heard from their wives was that there were thieves.
Then they hurried over, and didn't know anything else.
That's why they talk about thieves as soon as they arrive.
Zhou Meiling was also very frank, she said to everyone.
"Qin Huairu means I'm a thief."
The people who had just come were all stunned.
They couldn't believe what they were hearing.
"What? Is there a misunderstanding? ”
"How could she be a thief?"
Right around the corner where no one is looking.
A man hurried out of the courtyard.
At this moment, Li Guoqiang is busy approving documents in the company.
There are a lot of things that the company piles up every day.
Today's business, today's end.
If you don't finish all of today's work.
The next day, the pile has more work and no room for it.
While he was still working on the papers, his secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Li, something has happened to your family."
Li Guoqiang raised his head reluctantly, he looked at the secretary and asked.
"What's wrong?"
In the courtyard, Qin Huairu and Zhou Meiling are still in a confrontation with you and me.
Although it was indeed found from Zhou Meiling, this jade pendant was found.
But everyone actually didn't believe that Zhou Meiling would do this.
Zhou Meiling is Li Guoqiang's wife, why did she steal Qin Huairu's jade pendant if she had nothing to do.
This jade pendant doesn't look like something valuable.
Even if it is something valuable, Zhou Meiling really has no reason to steal it.
So everyone didn't believe it very much.
Qin Huairu saw the suspicious expressions on everyone's faces. She knew that if she didn't say something, she might not be able to confirm the crime.
So she spoke up.
"Actually, it doesn't matter, it's just a piece of jade, maybe Meiling likes it too much, and she's afraid that I won't agree, so she will secretly take it."
"Actually, Meiling, if you want to, you can tell me directly, there is no need to take it away secretly."
"Or are you, because I have had a bit of a business conflict with Li Guoqiang recently, and you want to take revenge on me?"
Qin Huairu's last sentence is not simple.
Her last sentence directly confirmed Zhou Meiling's crime.
He also explained the reasons for the possible action.
What a drip!
Originally, everyone absolutely didn't believe that Zhou Meiling would steal Qin Huairu's jade pendant.
After all, Zhou Meiling is not poor, her husband is Li Guoqiang.
Why do you have nothing to do to steal Qin Huairu's jade pendant.
She's not idle.
But if this matter is because of a business dispute between Li Guoqiang and Qin Huairu, it makes sense.
Zhou Meiling blinked.
Qin Huairu still has brains, knowing that no one will believe her just by slandering her for stealing jade pendants.
So she simply used her business dispute with Li Guoqiang as the reason.
Zhou Meiling thought of this, she lowered her head and chuckled.
Qin Huairu smiled when she saw Zhou Meiling.
She narrowed her eyes and asked Zhou Meiling.
"What are you doing here?"
"What's so funny?"
After Zhou Meiling finished laughing, she looked up at Qin Huairu and said.
"No, I just think it's strange, you keep saying that I deliberately stole your jade pendant because of the business competition between my husband and you."
"Then I want to ask, why did I steal your jade pendant?"
Qin Huairu said with a frown.
"Didn't you just say it yourself?"
"You deliberately stole my jade pendant because my business competes with your husband's business!"
Zhou Meiling smiled again.
This time, she laughed and shook her head.
After shaking her head, she continued to Qin Huairu.
"Then let me ask you, why is there competition between my husband and your business, so I will steal your jade pendant, but what's the use of me stealing your jade pendant?"
When the people watching the excitement heard this, they also felt that it made sense.
It's really not quite right everywhere.
