After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 1078: Sixty-Two
Although the shop also had spoons and forks ready, after learning that there were special "Magic Tools" in China, the boys were eager to take on the challenge.
This challenge, naturally, had both successes and failures.
In short, the business at "WEI" started improving by pure coincidence.
Later, thanks to the boys’ promotion, more and more customers—no, "challengers"—came flooding in.
After the business got on track, Xia Chuyi took a moment to call Rayne.
"Mr. Rayne," Xia Chuyi said, "I’d like to ask you to look into why Miss Annie wanted to sabotage my business."
This request was more about asking Rayne to handle the situation.
After all, being in the United States, Xia Chuyi couldn’t do much about Annie.
A few days later, Rayne got back to Xia Chuyi, informing her that Annie had already been arrested by the police—though Rayne didn’t specify why.
Clearly, Rayne was just giving Xia Chuyi an answer.
Xia Chuyi didn’t ask further.
The reasons for Annie’s actions were nothing more than the usual—jealousy, hatred, blaming Xia Chuyi for her own mistakes.
The next day, while Xia Chuyi was at her apartment, an unexpected guest arrived—Jackson.
"Miss Chuyi, regarding my sister sending people to cause trouble at your shop, I sincerely apologize!" Jackson said to Xia Chuyi with a weary face. "Our family has already been punished for this, so please be lenient and ask Mr. Rayne to release Annie."
"You see, hasn’t your ’WEI’ business not been affected at all?" Jackson said. "In fact, it has even benefited from it, and business has gotten better."
"So, I beg you, please forgive my sister!"
Jackson’s words shocked Li Mingzhi and Chen Chen—they happened to be present at the time.
WEI, that popular Magic Chinese restaurant, was opened by Xia Chuyi?
Unbelievable!
In response to Jackson’s request, Xia Chuyi simply said, "Mr. Jackson, you should know Annie better than I do. If I were to truly forgive her, would she really repent?"
Jackson was at a loss for words.
"So, please go back," Xia Chuyi said. "Those who have made mistakes must face punishment."
Upon hearing this, Jackson quickly stepped forward, wanting to say something more.
Xia Chuyi stepped back two steps, and Chen Chen immediately rushed in to block Jackson.
Li Mingjie, who was a bit slow to react, chose to stand in front of Xia Chuyi, saying, "Junior sister, don’t be afraid, I will protect you."
Xia Chuyi felt quite speechless, not even bothering to give him a glance.
Xia Chuyi bypassed Li Mingjie and said to Jackson, "Jackson, this is the United States, and your sister Annie has already been arrested. Do you also want me to call the police and accuse you of trespassing and threatening my personal safety?"
"I, I didn’t!" Jackson quickly replied.
"Better that way," Xia Chuyi calmly said. "Please leave, Mr. Jackson."
Jackson gritted his teeth, gritted again, and finally left, dejected and unwilling.
After Jackson left, Chen Chen looked at Xia Chuyi, opened his mouth, then closed it again, ultimately saying nothing but, "Well, uh, I’ll head to the classroom first."
Since junior sister Xia Chuyi was so successful, opening a shop all the way in the United States, as her senior brother, how could he not strive harder? Chen Chen resolved to put in more effort!
After Chen Chen left, Li Mingjie looked at Xia Chuyi with an expression of gentle concern and said, "Junior sister Chuyi, if you’re afraid, I can stay and keep you company."
