The Villainous Bosses Mentoring System - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Little Money-Grubber (3)

Her heart moved when the children said that Xi Yun told them to pick ‘C’ and that if they picked ‘C’, he would bring them to eat desserts. However, Su Tian could guess that Xi Yun had to have gotten some benefit from this. Otherwise, where would he get the money to invite so many children to dessert?

Did this mean he finally made his first bucket of gold?

Doesn’t that mean his tragedy is finally coming?

In the dessert shop, the children’s exclamations and laughter were endless. Across the street, however, at Lu Ji Peach Crisp the mood was bleak.

Li Xiuyun was panicked the whole day. Fortunately, Zhang Ke sent news a few days ago that her brother-in-law had already been released, so she was able to let go of the stone in her heart.

Unfortunately, some people just don’t know when to act and when to stop. After the open wounds became scars, they already forgot the pain of their injuries. After barely escaping jail time, they began to view the opposite shop with jealousy once more.

Small towns have one special characteristic, which is that trivial tidbits spread instantly across the whole town, let alone something as wonderful and educational as the story of Su Tian and the swindler. The whole city knew about it in just a few days. Families with kids used this funny story to educate their children and ‘Sweet Summer’ became famous throughout Luo Cheng.

With fame, so comes business.

During this time, the shop’s business was so good it was unbelievable. Often, all of the day’s products were sold before noon. Aside from children and teenagers, a lot of parents also came to buy desserts. To them, it seemed like Su Tian grew to be so smart and beautiful because she ate these desserts growing up.

Li Xiuyun was so jealous her eyes were red.

Today, it was a weekend and people had been lined up since early morning to go in, and only just managed to enter the store. The crowd of children who just entered was probably going to spend a lot of money there. On the other hand, her store was quiet and peaceful and Li Xiuyun was sour.

Just then, two high school girls walked in, chatting. In a hurry, Li Xiuyun greeted them warmly.

After asking for a bound of peach crisp, the girls waited by the counter and continued to chat.

“There’s such a long line today too. It’s been so many days since I’ve been able to buy a tiramisu from that shop.”

“Me too, I really want to eat their cheesecake. I envy Liu Kaiyan so much, he can eat their cheesecake everyday.”

“Who let them be boyfriend-girlfriend, ah. If I was a guy, I would fight Liu Kaiyan to steal away Su Tian.”

“Che, Liu Kaiyan is ranked number one in the school and is handsome to boot. Would you even be in Su Tian’s eyes?”

“What’s the point of being smart and handsome, with a mother like that? If he dares to let his mom find out they’re dating, who knows how that neurotic woman would torture Su Tian and her mother?”

Before, Li Xiuyun was happily serving the peach crisp, but when she heard this, her heart moved. With a sweet smile on her face, she asked, “Little girl, whose mom did you say was neurotic?”

The two girls nodded their heads. “Liu Kaiyan’s mom. I remember when he was a first-year in high school, a girl gave him a love letter. His mom somehow found out and went to cause trouble at the school. Apparently, the girl ended up dropping out of school… That woman is too scary… Hey, is our peach crisp ready yet?”

Li Xiuyun quickly passed them their peach crisp before waving them off, smiling while telling them to come back again.

After sending off the two girls, Li Xiuyun yelled for husband, “Isn’t Hai’er’s dad, your uncle, the principal of the number one middle school? Ask him to get a phone number for me…”
