After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 727 - 310: Yao Mingyue’s Sacrifice, This Time, I Won’t Let You Stand in Front of Me Again..._2
"Hmph, some people need to know to keep their distance. Someone already has a boss's wife," Yao Mingyue suddenly muttered.
Zhu Yulan didn't back down and retorted, "Aren't you the one who doesn't know how to say no?"
"I'm not like you. I'm his childhood friend and his sworn sister. Why should family keep a distance?"
Yao Mingyue said proudly.
Zhu Yulan opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words, but soon snorted, "Sworn sister? I'm afraid it might've gone bad..."
However, Yao Mingyue had a serene smile on her face.
"So what if it's gone bad? I admit I like him. Do you dare admit it?"
"You..."
Zhu Yulan didn't expect her to be so bold as to say it outright. How could there be such a shameless person in this world?
Moreover, An Nuannuan was in the store at that moment.

"So what, he's already with Nuannuan..."
"What he is with someone else doesn't affect my feelings for him."
Yao Mingyue's gaze turned towards Xu Musen, who was massaging An Nuannuan's shoulders at that moment. Her pupils flickered, "I owe him a lot, and he taught me a lot. I think, having had him in a past life, this life I should learn to love him well..."
The last two sentences were almost inaudible.
Zhu Yulan just silently watched her for a few moments, then turned her gaze towards Xu Musen and An Nuannuan.
Her eyes softened slightly, and then she shook her head and resumed working.
"Boss, that... Old Zhang is here again."
A young employee rushed over to report to Xu Musen.
Xu Musen raised his eyebrows slightly and made his way to the store's warehouse.
On the other side of the street, Old Zhang arrived with his fruit cart.
Old Zhang looked much older now, with plenty of white hair visible, and his eyes lacked any sparkle. Facing the diverse gazes of the milk tea shop employees, he said nothing.
When Xu Musen arrived, Old Zhang finally opened the trunk of his truck, immediately revealing a load of fresh fruit.
"Old Zhang, our contract has already ended," Xu Musen said calmly.
Old Zhang shook his head, "I'm not here to sell fruit. It's a gift for you all."
The surrounding employees were momentarily stunned; such a large amount of fruit wasn't cheap.
"If you're here to apologize, there's really no need. I understand you're trying to pay for your wife's medical bills, but you also need to understand my feelings."
Xu Musen's words were polite.
After all, his past cooperation with Old Zhang had been quite pleasant, only because of this incident, things could no longer go back to how they were.
Old Zhang opened his mouth, his eyes full of guilt and fatigue, "I'm not expecting you guys to forgive me, I've already transferred my fruit shop. I plan to sell this truck soon; it should be enough for my wife's surgery. These fruits are the last stock of the store, consider it a return gift for your past care. I won't come here again."
The words of Old Zhang carried that helpless feeling typical of middle-aged men.
Xu Musen could empathize, having seen his own father in similar situations.
He watched Old Zhang, then took out a stack of money from his wallet and handed it to him: "Consider this money as my purchase of these fruits."
"No, I can't take this money..."
Old Zhang shook his head.
"We looked after you before, not for anything else, but because we thought you had it tough, and you were honest. Their kindness can't be measured by these things. Keep the money, or take the fruits back and sell them yourself."
Xu Musen didn't want to use his employee's kindness as an advantage, nor get tangled in so-called emotional debts.
Old Zhang opened his mouth, his gaze sweeping across the familiar faces around him, reminisceing about the past year.
The milk tea shop was full of young people, all of whom had been kind to him, which deepened his sense of guilt. Looking at the money in Xu Musen's hand,
he could guess that, despite the tough words, Xu Musen's gift was generous, perhaps out of pity.
This made Old Zhang feel even more ashamed.
He took the money.
Xu Musen had his people start moving the fruits.
Old Zhang turned to look back one last time, bowed deeply to Xu Musen, and then drove off towards the fruit shop.
It was now noon, and the employees, including Yao Mingyue and Zhu Yulan, finally had a chance to rest.
They too were nibbling on some fruits while looking in the direction Old Zhang had left, sighing a few times.
Perhaps everyone is good-natured, but when someone does something wrong, there's a price to pay,
"Alright guys, take a good rest this afternoon. If there's nothing else in the evening, I'll treat you all to a big meal!"
Xu Musen looked at his perspiring workers—it had indeed been a victorious day!
Everyone had worked hard and deserved a good reward.
"Yay!"
The young employees cheered.
Zhu Yulan and Yao Mingyue couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, but after exchanging a glance, they quickly turned their gazes away, snorting.
Xu Musen saw all this and couldn't help but smile, this pair had indeed become a pair of jolly foes.
An Nuannuan handed a glass of water to Xu Musen.
"You've been busy all day too, you've worked hard."
Xu Musen hadn't physically labored today, but he had been explaining things to numerous reporters for several hours without even time for a drink.
"Not hard. If I don't make good money now, I won't have enough for your dowry later."
