At the Amusing Plate Patisserie…
Xuan Shu was sitting behind the desk with a darkened expression in her face . Looking at the complaint letters and notices from the sanitary and employment bureaus, she knew that it was over . She didn't have any chance to save their family business .
What's more a letter came informing them the land where their shop was built was already sold to a private company . That left them with no choice but to sell their shop to the new owner as there was a plan to build a shopping mall in the area .
All the shops beside them had been sold and evicted and soon, they had to follow . They only have two weeks to get themselves pack and get out of the place .
Meng Jiao was still trying to comprehend the contents of the letter in her hands . The word evicted kept echoing on her mind . Being the shop manager of the Amusing Plate Patisserie, this could also mean she'd lost her job and the only source of income .
How will she support her study at Silver Leaf if she doesn't have a job? She was also two months pregnant with Gong Yijun's child but her lover had refused to marry her and was still eager to get back with Lu Xinyi .
The grim on her face was a giveaway how disappointed she was in her situation . If only she knew this would happen, she shouldn't have help Yijun get the recipes from Lu Xinyi and kept it all by herself . Of course, she knew how important the recipe books for Lu Xinyi, too bad though that those books were in Yuan Jin's hands for safekeeping .
Xuan Shu and Meng Jiao were busy trying to figure out what would be their next plan when Gong Yijun suddenly rushed on the office, startling the two women . The moment he entered the room, he broke whatever his hands reached, breaking several decorations in his rage .
"Yijun! What's wrong with you?" Xuan Shu asked worriedly . She hadn't seen her son upset like this for ages . She put down the letters in her hands .
"I was terminated from work!" Gong Yijun hissed, throwing his arms in the air . "My promotion was suddenly canceled and the management released me without giving me proper answers as to why . I don't know who did it and I don't know what to do anymore . "
Xuan Shu's blanched in horror . Her son was agitated enough and had no idea what to do . If her son's future had been affected like this, she will have to kiss goodbye for a good life she'd been praying .
"What? Who dares to do such a thing to you?" she complained .
"I don't know . I have several friends and colleagues about it but their mouth was shut and wouldn't say anything . "
Xuan Shu then remembered something .
"That bitch! I'm sure it was Lu Xinyi's fault!" Xuan Shu slammed her fists on top of the desk, her eyes filled with hatred . "She probably used her boy toy to get even to us!"
Gong Yijun thought for a while and remembered the night when the man warned him not to bother Lu Xinyi anymore . Was it possible that Lu Xinyi really married such an influential man? What if she was that man's kept woman?
"Don't worry, mother . I'll try to find out who's behind this . If Lu Xinyi was really the one who made me lose my job, I'll never forgive her!"
Hearing about it, Xuan Shu was relieved that her son wasn't disheartened from what happened . As long as Yijun can come back to his feet and stable his profession as a financial analyst, she will never have to worry about their future .
Meng Jiao who was listening silently to the mother and son's conversation cupped her chin and was deep in her thoughts . No, there was a big possibility that Lu Xinyi wasn't joking when she declared that she married that rich and handsome businessman . It was also possible that she had requested this favor to her husband to take revenge to Gong Yijun and his mother .
Her eyes squinted . How could Lu Xinyi kept being lucky while she always found herself in disadvantage? There were still three months before the Silver Leaf's annual entrance examination . If she passed the exam, she had no choice but to abort the baby from her womb . Taking a quick glance at her lover, she was starting to think that she wouldn't have a bright future if she stayed at Yijun's side .
