Divorced Dad's Gourmet Shop

Chapter 450: Chapter 349: Double Happiness

Jiang Liu: "If your wife wants some, just come over. I’ll make something for her. I can have it rough, but I can’t let my wife and kids suffer."

Wang City: "Deal!"

Jiang Liu finished replying to Wang City, and just then, a message from Ren Qingqing arrived.

Ren Qingqing: "The deal for the second storefront is done, President Jiang. This one went very smoothly. The original price should have been 5.3 million, but we got it for 4.5 million in the end. This is all thanks to you!"

She was astounded.

’It’s like Jiang Liu has foodie fans everywhere,’ she thought. ’To be this successful in the restaurant business... he’s in a league of his own.’

Jiang Liu: "Oh? Do I know them?"

Ren Qingqing: "The lady is a customer at Tongtong Restaurant. She loves the buns from your shop and goes almost every day, but she finds the long lines very frustrating."

Ren Qingqing: "When she heard the owner of Tongtong Restaurant was opening a new location and I confirmed it with her, she immediately dropped the price by 800,000 for us."

Jiang Liu: "Alright, thank you for your hard work, Supervisor Ren. Please sign the contract and finalize the purchase."

He took a deep breath, feeling exhilarated.

Another storefront was now under his name.

A property in a bustling area like this was an excellent investment that would hold its value.

Ren Qingqing couldn’t resist laying on the praise: "President Jiang, President Jun sent me here to assist you. That means I’m one of your soldiers now, so to speak. Please don’t stand on ceremony with me. It’s not any trouble at all. It’s my honor to work for you."

Jiang Liu was speechless.

But he understood.

’That’s just how it is for an employee,’ he thought. ’If you don’t kiss up, the boss won’t be happy with you.’

’The more smoothly and naturally you do it, the more the boss will value you.’

’There were plenty of women like Ren Qingqing. After all, it really wasn’t easy for a woman to get by in the professional world.’

Jiang Liu replied, "Alright, let’s get it done quickly then."

Ren Qingqing: "Roger that!"

He placed his phone in the center console armrest.

Jun Qingmeng and Tongtong were huddled over a phone, playing a tile-matching game.

Jiang Liu turned his head and said with a smile, "I have good news for you two. Our property deed is ready. Lawyer Wang is bringing it over at noon."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Wow!"

Tongtong was instantly thrilled, throwing her little hands in the air.

"Yay! Daddy is the best! We have another house to live in!"

She looked so happy she seemed ready to roll around on the floor with glee.

Her sweet, child-like face was beaming with joy.

Jun Qingmeng was also smiling happily.

Because the property deed had her and Jiang Liu’s names on it.

"Honey."

"Hm!"

"That’s our future home for the three of us, right?"

"Right! This home is for the three of us. And if you give me another baby in the future, it’ll be for the four of us!"

"Yay, Tongtong is going to have a little sister!"

Tongtong was the most excited. ’If I get a little sister, Daddy can marry her off to someone else, and I can secretly stay behind to be with Daddy forever!’

"Okay." Jun Qingmeng nodded shyly.

She really wanted to have a baby with Jiang Liu.

Hearing Tongtong’s words, Jiang Liu shook his head helplessly.

’His daughter was getting sillier and sillier.’

He started the car.

Tongtong was still rolling around excitedly in the back seat.

Jiang Liu said:

"Tongtong, for us to get this house so quickly, you have to thank your grandpa, you know?"

He knew perfectly well.

Without Jun Xinghe, they would have had to wait much longer.

Jiang Liu didn’t want to just buy any random house.

He was especially pleased with the villa Jun Xinghe had arranged for him.

It was over in Xinxiang City, even closer to the restaurant than his current apartment complex.

The commute home would be even quicker.

"I know, Daddy!" Jiang Tongtong counted on her fingers. "Daddy, Tongtong hereby declares that Grandpa is the fifth-best in the world!"

Tongtong had the entire family ranking perfectly arranged in her head.

’Daddy is the best in the world.’

’Mommy is the second-best.’

’Grandma is the third-best.’

’Grandpa is the fourth-best.’

’Heh heh, so Grandpa gets to be the fifth-best!’

The two of them smiled.

Jun Qingmeng looked at Jiang Liu’s side profile and said sweetly, "Honey~ it won’t be long before we’re all on the same family register."

’Head of Household: Jiang Liu.’

’Household Member: Jun Qingmeng.’

’Household Member: Little Cutie.’

Jiang Liu smiled and said seriously, "Thank you, Qingmeng."

During his lowest and most difficult times,

Jun Qingmeng had never once treated him with indifference.

She had always been there, quietly supporting him, waiting for him.

Jiang Liu knew that his wife had never been short on money. She had come all the way from Jing City to South City, had painstakingly cared for Tongtong at her kindergarten, and had silently waited for him.

The weight of her devotion was immense.

Jun Qingmeng saw the serious expression on Jiang Liu’s face and knew what he was thinking.

It made her feel a little bashful. "Just drive carefully, don’t get distracted."

"Alright."

「Back on Yangzhai Street.」

A light rain had started to fall again, but it was just a fine, drizzling mist.

A group of elderly men and women had set up a huge patio umbrella by the entrance, all crowded underneath it to watch a card game.

Uncle Liu was at it again with Xia Changzhi.

Xia Changzhi’s face was flushed as he furiously rubbed the two cards in his hand.

"Are you going to bet blind?" Uncle Liu asked with a sinister grin.

His face was as dark as a thundercloud.

’Today, I must avenge my previous defeat and wash away the shame!’

"Bet blind, my ass!"

"No guts?"

"Hmph!"

Xia Changzhi picked up his cards to look. His eyes flashed, but he quickly suppressed the reaction.

It was a pair of 8s.

A bomb!

He quickly frowned, as if he was hesitating whether to fold.

A performance worthy of an Oscar.

"One forehead flick," Xia Changzhi said, feigning hesitation. He announced the minimum bet, trying to look both nervous and restrained.

"One? Is that all the guts you have?"

Seeing his opponent’s indecisive act and glancing at the pair of fours in his own hand, Uncle Liu’s confidence surged.

He had a bomb.

Nothing the opponent had could beat it.

He didn’t believe that Xia Changzhi also happened to have a bomb!

"Isn’t one enough?" Xia Changzhi’s face was conflicted, pretending he wanted to fold.

"We play for three, or you fold and take your flicking!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Xia Changzhi gritted his teeth. "Fine, three it is!"

"Hahaha!" Uncle Liu laughed smugly.

He shot to his feet and slammed his pair of 4s onto the table.

"WOAH!" The crowd of onlookers erupted.

"This is getting good."

"I can’t stand that white-haired old man. He’s always showing off. I really want to kick him!"

"Just watch. A bomb doubles the stakes. That old geezer is in for a world of hurt."

"I hope he flicks his skull clean off! That’d be some sweet revenge for all of us!"

Xia Changzhi turned a deaf ear to the surrounding taunts, patted the peanut shells off his pants, and stood up with a faint smile.

Uncle Liu’s heart sank. "Hurry up and show your cards! Who are you trying to fool, you son of a bitch?"

"Hurry up and face your doom!"

Feeling a growing sense of dread, Uncle Liu urged him on impatiently.

’Who does he think he’s fooling?’

’Right, he must be bluffing!’

"Ahem. My apologies... but I’m your daddy!"

Xia Changzhi threw down the pair of eights in his hand.

The crowd went silent.

*

Jiang Liu carried a bag in his left hand and his family’s little treasure in his right arm.

Jun Qingmeng held an umbrella over her two treasures.

"Boss Jiang, back from grocery shopping?"

"Yep."

"Any new dishes for lunch today, Brother Jiang?"

"It’s a secret."

Jiang Liu made small talk with the customers as he walked. Just as he reached the entrance...

...he heard a commotion from under the big umbrella.

"THWACK!"

"Ugh!" Uncle Liu grunted.
