Chapter 32 Jiang Yixia is in trouble?
The next morning, Lu Fan slept until he naturally woke up before getting out of bed.
Yesterday, he vented all his energy on that drunkard. If he hadn't been paying attention to exercise, at his age of 40, he would probably be suffering from backaches and leg pains.
After he got up, while he was washing up, Jiali came to his side and reported: "Boss, the leaders of the Public Security Bureau have replied. They said they will increase the severity of the crime."
"Okay." Lu Fan nodded: "Scum like this will only harm society if they get out. They'd be better off staying in jail eating prison food and working on a sewing machine."
Then he gestured to Chen He: "He, get ready, we're going to the pastry shop."
"Okay, boss."
Before long, Lu Fan arrived at the commercial street.
When he got out of the car, he noticed that the flower shop was locked.
After glancing at it twice, Lu Fan walked to the entrance of the dry cleaner.
When Sister Li, the owner of the dry cleaning shop, saw Lu Fan arrive, she immediately greeted him with a beaming smile, "Brother Lu, you've come!"
"Sister Li, is Yixia not open for business today?" Lu Fan asked.
Sister Li then realized what was happening. She checked the time and said in confusion, "That's not right. They should be here by now. I had some customers in the shop, so I didn't notice."
Seeing this, Lu Fan suggested, "Sister Li, why don't you make a call and ask?"
"Okay, okay, I'll call right away." Sister Li naturally didn't dare to delay.
After all, something like that just happened last night.
If Jiang Yixia doesn't open her shop today, it's bound to cause concern.
As she spoke, Sister Li immediately dialed Jiang Yixia's number.
But the phone kept ringing and no one answered.
This also made Lu Fan worried.
"That's strange, what's wrong with Xia? Could something have happened to her?" Sister Li asked anxiously.
Seeing that the call had not been answered, Lu Fan turned to Jiali and said, "Take me to find Yixia."
"Yes, boss." Jiali immediately turned around, ready to provide Chen He with Jiang Yixia's home address.
However, at that moment, a familiar figure was slowly riding an electric scooter towards them.
Upon seeing this, Sister Li immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then waved and said, "Yi Xia, you're here!!"
Jiang Yixia was a little curious as to why everyone was gathering in front of his flower shop.
And there's someone I don't want to see.
Lu Fan looked at Jiang Yixia and saw that she looked rather unwell, with red and swollen eyes as if she had been crying. So he asked, "Yixia, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Jiang Yixia replied indifferently, just like before.
However, Lu Fan didn't care, as long as he made sure Jiang Yixia was alright.
He said cheerfully, "Okay, it's good that you're free. By the way, have you had breakfast? Would you like to try one of our pastries? They're delicious."
"No need." Jiang Yixia then bent down, preparing to pull up the curtain.
For some unknown reason, the roller shutter door couldn't be pulled open for a moment.
Upon seeing this, Lu Fan immediately stepped forward to help.
Jiang Yixia was about to refuse, but this guy was too fast and got it done in no time.
She couldn't help but look at him with a mournful gaze.
This guy is fast at everything.
However, this is indeed the only way to effectively do everything.
Jiang Yixia admired this greatly nineteen years ago.
However, she still ignored Lu Fan and instead continued arranging the flower petals in the shop.
Lu Fan then returned to the pastry shop, where he carefully selected several exquisite pastries.
This time, however, she didn't go to the flower shop, but instead went to the dry cleaners, smiling as she said, "Sister Li, I have some pretty good pastries here, would you like to try some?"
Upon hearing this, Sister Li naturally became happy: "Great! Your chef's skills are really good. I had a steamed bun last time, and it was super delicious."
"Haha, if it's delicious, then eat more." Lu Fan then tentatively added, "Sister Li, why don't you get some for Yi Xia? I don't think she's had breakfast yet."
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to her right away."
As the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free breakfast.
If Sister Li wants to eat these pastries without feeling guilty, she has to do these things for Lu Fan first.
Of course, even if she doesn't eat this pastry, Sister Li will still help out.
Just because Lu Fan signed a two-year dry cleaning uniform contract with her, she has to help him out!
Sister Li entered the flower shop with a smile and asked, "Yixia, have you had breakfast? Let me tell you, this pastry is really delicious, would you like to try some?"
Before Jiang Yixia could react, Sister Li put a pastry to her mouth.
Jiang Yixia had no choice but to open her small mouth and take a simple bite.
"Right? It's delicious, isn't it? Let me tell you, breakfast is a must, especially for us women. To have good energy and spirits, breakfast is indispensable." Sister Li then praised the pastry: "This pastry is clearly made with high-quality ingredients; it's definitely nutritious."
Lu Fan listened to Sister Li's promotion next to the dry cleaner, and he felt that it was the right choice to ask Sister Li for help.
With Sister Li's mouth, she can talk the dead back to life and straighten the crooked.
If we went back to ancient times, she would definitely be a top-notch matchmaker.
Jiang Yixia knew that Lu Fan had deliberately sent Sister Li to deliver the pastries, but she did not refuse this kindness. After all, Sister Li had already put the pastries in her mouth, so it would be a bit unreasonable to refuse.
"By the way, I just heard from Brother Lu that the drunkard who bullied you yesterday is going to jail. Apparently, they've been cracking down on public order lately, and he's become a prime example."
Sister Li said angrily, "If you ask me, this kind of person deserves it. He should go to jail and learn his lesson."
Jiang Yixia naturally didn't have much sympathy for such social scum.
She's no saint; even if the drunkard's family came to the flower shop door and kowtowed to apologize, Jiang Yixia would never forgive him.
Since the drunkard knew that there would be consequences for doing such a thing, why did he still do it in the first place?
To put it simply, it means they're not afraid.
Since she wasn't afraid, Jiang Yixia naturally wouldn't let the matter rest.
This coincided with Lu Fan's thoughts.
Not long after, Jiang Yixia took out fifty yuan from the cabinet and handed it to Sister Li, saying, "Please give this fifty yuan to that person for me."
"For whom?" Sister Li asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The pastry shop owner," Jiang Yixia replied, "I know he asked you to bring these pastries over, but I won't take advantage of him. This fifty yuan is for these pastries; I'll buy them myself."
"Oh dear, I bought these pastries myself," Sister Li said, deferring, "Consider it my treat, okay?"
"Sister Li, if you continue like this, I will never eat anything you give me again," Jiang Yixia said, still maintaining her principles.
Sister Li smiled awkwardly and finally accepted the fifty yuan.
She then walked out the door, came to Lu Fan's side, and took out fifty yuan.
Just as he was about to explain, Lu Fan smiled and said, "Sister Li, I heard everything just now, thank you."
"I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I feel like I haven't been of much help," Sister Li said apologetically.
"You helped, and you helped a lot, thank you," Lu Fan affirmed.
He then picked up a broom and silently began sweeping in front of the flower shop.
Jiang Yixia watched his actions and this time did not urge Lu Fan to leave, but simply let him do his futile work.
