Gu Jinhuai glanced at the thermos in his assistant's hand and nodded. "Distribute it to the guests."
The assistant nodded quickly, turned around and walked into Wen Zhixin and her brother's milk tea shop, smiling and greeting Wen Zhixin.
" Zhixin, sitting in the air-conditioned shop for long periods of time can easily make you catch a cold. This is hot porridge that our President Gu specially prepared for our guests."
The siblings, Wen Zhixin and her brother, who were sitting at the counter eating their boxed lunches, immediately looked up.
Wen Zhixin looked at the thermos in her assistant's hand with some surprise, " President Gu is so thoughtful, he actually remembered to prepare these for us."
Wen Zhixin nudged Wen Tianqi, " Tianqi, hurry up and thank him."
Wen Tianqi, who had been engrossed in his meal, reluctantly looked up. "Thank you, President Gu."
The assistant responded politely before opening the thermos and serving porridge to Wen Zhixin and her brother.
Finally, as the assistant left, Wen Zhixin went to the door and greeted Gu Jinhuai outside, saying, "Thank you, President Gu."
As for her secret boyfriend, Meng Fuyu, Wen Zhixin didn't even glance at him. She only silently glanced at the camera next to her before calmly turning around and going back into the store.
Meng Fuyu was so angry at this differential treatment that he clenched his fists.
At the same time, Meng Fuyu's hostility towards Gu Jinhuai also intensified.
Gu Jinhuai's blatant act of sending porridge to Wen Zhixin must have been premeditated!
After delivering to the first store, Gu Jinhuai and his assistant continued on to the clothing store owned by An Ya and her brother to deliver more warmth.
Resentful, Meng Fuyu did not stay at Wen Zhixin's shop, but continued walking with Gu Jinhuai.
An Ya and her brother politely saw them off and thanked them in person at the end.
Soon, Gu Jinhuai arrived at the last bookstore—the bookstore owned by Chu Sister Yu.
By this time, the fans and tourists who had come in the morning had finished paying and left the store, and the huge bookstore suddenly seemed a bit deserted.
Gu Jinhuai, who was originally just standing outside the store waiting for his assistant to bring him warmth, stepped into the bookstore this time.
Chu Yu and Chu Chen were sitting on the sofa in the reception and relaxation area, eating and resting.
Upon hearing footsteps, Chu Yu subconsciously looked up and stared blankly at the figure approaching.
The assistant skillfully repeated the explanations from the first two shops to Chu Yu, " Miss Chu, this is a nourishing porridge that our President Gu specially prepared for our guests; it's good for your stomach."
Before Chu Yu could say anything, Chu Chen next to her looked up in surprise, "How did you know my sister has a bad stomach?"
The assistant was stunned for a moment. "Huh?"
In fact, the assistant had no idea why Gu Jinhuai had prepared this health-preserving porridge.
When Gu Jinhuai gave the instructions, he simply said that the air conditioning in the shop was too cold and asked him to prepare some red date and barley porridge for the guests.
However, the assistant reacted quickly, laughing and saying, "That's quite a coincidence! It seems our President Gu's preparation of this health-preserving porridge wasn't in vain."
Chu Yu turned her probing gaze and fixed it on Gu Jinhuai.
The atmosphere inside the shop was originally quite harmonious.
Until Meng Fuyu, filled with resentment, strode in.
Meng Fuyu was very unhappy because of Wen Zhixin's previous differential treatment.
So now that he's been provoked, he wants Wen Zhixin to experience what it's like to be jealous.
Meng Fuyu's gaze quickly settled on Chu Yu, and he suddenly smiled and walked over, " Xiao Yu, you've become even more beautiful in just a few days." His tone was familiar.
This scene immediately piqued the curiosity of many staff members on site, who pricked up their ears to listen.
Meng Fuyu is actually so familiar with Chu Yu?
They can even Xiao Yu now?
Compared to the staff's gossipy nature, Gu Jinhuai and Chu Yu on site had dark expressions.
A surge of intense jealousy immediately rose in Gu Jinhuai's chest, and his gaze toward Meng Fuyu grew even colder.
Chu Yu was disgusted by Meng Fuyu's actions, so much so that she didn't want to say a single word to him.
At this moment, Chu Chen, who was eating rice nearby, finally came in handy.
Chu Chen frowned, his disdain undisguised. "Who are you? Are you close to my sister? This kind of outdated pickup line is so old that even high school students don't use it anymore. Where did you learn it from?"
Meng Fuyu's smile seemed about to crack instantly.
When Chu Yu and Meng Fuyu broke off their childhood betrothal, Chu Chen Meng Fuyu still young, so he was unaware of Chu Yu relationship.
But seeing Chu Yu's expression, Chu Chen knew that his sister was probably itching to kick this man right now.
So, in order to protect his sister's goddess image, he'd better take on the villain role himself.
Chapter 56
The atmosphere inside the shop became awkward for a moment.
The most embarrassed person was none other than Meng Fuyu, the person involved.
Fortunately, the business is currently closed, and the surrounding cameras have automatically turned off, preventing Meng Fuyu from embarrassing himself online.
Meng Fuyu remained silent, his face dark, looking utterly aggrieved.
However, Chu Yu pretended to be angry and quickly scolded Chu Chen, "Look at you, what nonsense are you talking about?"
After saying that, Chu Yu quickly turned back to look at Meng Fuyu, " Young Master Meng, are you alright? My brother is like this, please be understanding."
Meng Fuyu was already angry at Chu Chen's words, and after hearing Chu Yu's response, he couldn't pursue the matter further and could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.
"Yes, it's nothing."
After this incident, Meng Fuyu was too ashamed to stay any longer.
He quickly made an excuse and turned to leave.
Just then, Chu Yu began to enjoy the nourishing porridge that Gu Jinhuai had brought over. Her body had been cold and dry from the air conditioning, but after a mouthful of hot porridge, she immediately felt a warmth in her heart, and her complexion became much rosier.
