Chapter 56: Sister, were you crying just now?

No!

Yun Tian answered Cheng Xianglan, then took his mother's hand and walked out.

Shi Shi struggled.

Yun Tian also couldn't just drag her along.

He said in a somewhat cold tone, "Mother, if you keep this up, I would ruin myself and still not obey your arrangements."

Shi Shi truly hadn't expected her son to say that, and she remained silent for a long while.

Until they left the shop.

Only then did Shi Shi come to her senses, shouting with disappointment, "Yun Tian, you're unfilial!"

Yun Tian knew his mother was very angry, but he did not compromise.

"I just want to be with the person I like, Mother. You might think Cheng Xianglan and I aren't a good match, but in my heart she's the best; no one can compare to her."

The shop's backyard.

After Yun Tian and the others left, Cheng Xianglan sent the other people away to do work.

They had just left.

Cheng Xianglan's tears fell, and she hastily wiped them away, saying, "Little sister, you've seen me make a fool of myself."

In Qiao Sheng's view, height isn't a distance and age isn't a problem.

"Xianglan sister, this isn't a joke, you don't need to take it to heart. If you really like Yun Tian, the two of you…"

Cheng Xianglan shook her head: "No, I and he cannot be together; Qiao Sheng is so good, I'm not worthy of him."

After such an incident.

Cheng Xianglan wanted to quietly chat a few sentences with Qiao Sheng, then go to her own room to stay.

Two ke passed.

The people she sent out brought her brother back.

Cheng Xianglan's brother is Cheng Yuzhu; he is twenty-five years old this year.

Upon learning her younger brother had arrived, Cheng Xianglan wiped her tears dry, showed a faint smile, and went out to meet him, saying, "Little brother, you're here! Come, sister will take you to meet someone."

"Sister, were you crying just now?"

Cheng Yuzhu noticed his older sister's eyes were a bit red and couldn't help but ask.

"What on earth happened?"

Cheng Xianglan gave him a sideways glance and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm such a magnanimous person, how could I cry? All right, let's go, don't keep people waiting."

Cheng Yuzhu then didn't ask again.

As soon as Cheng Xianglan entered the living room, she began introducing her younger brother to Qiao Sheng and the others; after the introductions, she stated the purpose of having him come here.

"Renovation? Sure, we happen to have nothing to do lately. But before that, Madam Qiao, you need to take me to see your shop and tell me how you plan to renovate it."

Cheng Yuzhu said in a tone that was neither fast nor slow.

"Okay."

Qiao Sheng responded with an acknowledgment, bade farewell to Cheng Xianglan, took Xiao Shitou's hand, and led Cheng Yuzhu out.

Cheng Yuzhu had come by carriage; he didn't want to ride inside with Qiao Sheng and the others, so he let them sit inside while he sat outside.

During the carriage's journey.

Qiao Sheng expressed her idea: she wanted to remove all the counters in the shop and build a stove near the left wall.

Cheng Yuzhu asked, "Are you planning to open a noodle shop or a restaurant?"

"A restaurant."

Qiao Sheng replied to him.

Cheng Yuzhu immediately said, "The location of the shop you rented is not bad; opening a restaurant should do well. By the way, how long have you known my sister?"

"It's been some days."

Qiao Sheng only felt that he probably had other questions he wanted to ask her.

As expected.

Not long after.

Cheng Yuzhu then asked her, "Before I came, did my sister experience something? I see she looks like she's been crying."

He actually cared quite a bit about his sister; from this one can see their sibling relationship is not bad.

Qiao Sheng pressed her lips and said, "I'm not in a position to talk about this matter; if you really want to know, you'd better ask your sister."
