Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle-Chapter 1160 - 557: Marvelous Fate (Part 3)

Qin Huai was so shocked he couldn't say a word.

An Youyou looked at Qin Huai, somewhat confused, not understanding what she had said wrong. She hadn't even finished speaking, but Qin Huai already had this expression.

Though An Youyou was confused, she had a good attitude and continued speaking: "At that time, I thought, Little Ninth has already become the director of the cotton mill; once a monk, always a monk, I can always turn to him. Why not wait until I've made a name for myself, so I can return to my hometown in a grand manner, and meet him with more dignity? So, I returned the ticket to Gusu and continued to inquire about Jiang Weiguo's whereabouts."

"It was really hard to find his whereabouts. I spent almost 10 years searching, while I even found Little Seven's information. He wasn't doing so well, and though I basically knew where he was, I didn't go to him. After all, if I look for him, he might need me to support him, and at the time, I didn't have the money to do it."

"Eventually, I found out that Jiang Weiguo was in Z City, working as a head chef at a State-owned Restaurant in a very small city."

"By then, I had been working for more than a decade, saved up some capital, and decided to go into business. I figured Jiang Weiguo may not have saved enough to buy Taifeng Building, but he should have some savings. I didn't ask for much, just give me eighty percent, and when I made it big, I'd repay him tenfold."

"But when I went to the State-owned Restaurant in Z City and found him, I realized he wasn't doing well either. Maybe because he had too many sons and raising them cost a fortune. Boss, you wouldn't believe it, he actually had 5 sons, each of them tall and strong."

"When I went to the State-owned Restaurant to eat, I initially didn't want to pay, thinking he'd treat me. But I saw three of his sons dining at the table next to mine, almost eating out of washbasins. No wonder Jiang Weiguo hadn't saved enough to buy Taifeng Building in Beiping all these years."

"At that moment, I thought, forget it, if we reunited, I'd probably have to support him. So, after eating at the State-owned Restaurant, I paid and went off to do business."

"I originally thought I'd definitely make a big fortune, then return gloriously to Gusu to find Little Ninth and reunite, make him sponsor me with money to return to Shanghai, and support Little Seven and Jiang Weiguo."

"But there were too many swindlers, and I got cheated out of all my money, so I had to keep saving."

"By that time, I no longer wanted to reunite, because it was too embarrassing."

"I didn't even manage to save enough money, and then I got sick and died. I don't even know who ended up with my inheritance. If I'd known earlier, I would have made a will before I died and left the inheritance to Little Ninth. That way, if Little Ninth was still alive, I'd have the confidence to go to him and demand all his pension."

"Boss, I want to take a week's leave to first go to Gusu, then Z City, to see if Little Ninth and Jiang Weiguo are still alive. If they are and willing, can I take their pension as a gift? I really have no money, boss, you know my financial situation, every penny I have was paid by you."

Qin Huai: ...

Qin Huai's mind was still in a whirl.

He felt the plot was developing a bit too fast for him to keep up.

Qin Huai made a stop gesture.

"Stop, stop, stop, Youyou, let me sort things out first. We'll discuss the leave to go to Gusu and Z City later."

"What time is it now?"

"4:47."

"We'll tough it out a few more hours. By 9 in the morning, Luo Jun will definitely get up to have Dried Tangerine Peel Tea. Then we both can get off work and go to his place for a tea party."

"I can't be the only one shocked."

An Youyou: ?

What's there to be shocked about? There are so many spirits in the group; surely their Crossing Tribulation can't all be ordinary?
