Chapter 16 I am Yixia's husband
"Don't mention it, ma'am. I'm Yixia's husband. She runs this flower shop, and we rely on you to help take care of it on a regular basis," Lu Fan explained.
Upon hearing this, Li Li was stunned.
I had never heard Jiang Yixia talk about her lover before.
Could he be the biological father of these two children?
Just as Li Li was about to ask Jiang Yixia a question, Jiang Yixia immediately interrupted her, saying, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
Then, she walked up to Lu Fan and said, "Are you leaving or not? If you're not leaving, I'm closing the shop and going home right now."
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving." Lu Fan nodded and then prepared to leave.
After he left, Li Li curiously approached Jiang Yixia and asked, "Yixia, what exactly happened? Is he the father of the two children?"
Although Jiang Yixia was reluctant to admit it, she finally nodded and said, "Yes, he is the biological father of Silu and Sifan."
"Why did he come back to find you? He hasn't come back in all these years," Li Li asked, puzzled.
Jiang Yixia explained, "He couldn't find me a few years ago, so I went into hiding."
"No wonder." Li Li then looked in the direction Lu Fan had left. "If you ask me, your ex-husband is quite good-looking. He's handsome, has a good temperament, was wearing a suit, and seems to be very rich."
Jiang Yixia scoffed, "Whether he has money or not has nothing to do with me. I just want to live my life well right now."
"Hey, you can't say that. You left him and hid away before, but he didn't abandon you. That proves he still cares about you." Li Li said, trying to comfort her.
Jiang Yixia frowned, somewhat sullenly, and said, "Sister Li, he only helped you catch a swindler, why are you taking his side like this?"
"Oh dear, he seems like a nice guy, he shouldn't be that kind of bad guy." Li Li smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Yixia thought to herself, feeling wronged: "He's a jerk! Nineteen years ago, he was a womanizer."
She glanced at Li Li and said, "Sister Li, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to pack up and close the shop."
"Are you closing so early today?" Li Li asked curiously.
Jiang Yixia replied, "I'm afraid that guy will come back again, so I'd better get some rest early tonight."
"Alright, alright, even an upright official can't settle family disputes, so I can't say much about your business," Li Li could only say.
Jiang Yixia comforted her, "Don't worry, Sister Li, I'm doing just fine on my own now, everything's alright."
After saying that, she closed the store and waved goodbye.
Watching this scene from a distance, Lu Fan asked Chen He, "Have you had people protect Yi Xia these past two days and help her buy flowers from her shop? Have you discovered anything else?"
"The proprietress opens the shop at nine in the morning and closes it at ten at night," Chen He explained.
"Closing so late?" Lu Fan glanced at the time and asked curiously, "Then why are you closing so early today? It's only seven o'clock."
Chen He laughed awkwardly, "Isn't it because the boss is here?"
Lu Fan gave him a speechless look: "You little brat, are you trying to drive the boss crazy?"
"Boss, I..." Chen He scratched his head, hesitating to speak.
He then seemed to remember something and continued, "By the way, according to our investigation, Jia Sheng from the convenience store next door seems to have a crush on our boss."
"The convenience store owner..." Lu Fan raised an eyebrow, intending to go and meet him.
So he got off the car again and returned to the commercial street.
At that moment, Jia Sheng was watching a TV series.
Lu Fan walked into the store, glanced around, and asked, "Boss, where are the potato chips?"
"It's on the first shelf on the left," Jia Sheng said without looking up, pointing casually.
Lu Fan took the opportunity to observe him.
Although Jia Sheng wasn't exactly unkempt or had a scruffy beard, he was clearly the image of an ordinary middle-aged man.
Seeing this, Lu Fan lost his sense of crisis.
After all, he knows his own wife well.
Even if Jiang Yixia craves men, she is still a looks-obsessed person.
I would never be interested in someone like that.
He then grabbed a bottle of drink and a few bags of potato chips, walked up to Jia Sheng, and said, "Boss, the bill."
"Okay." Jia Sheng scanned the image while watching the TV series.
He glanced at the computer and said, "It's 17 yuan in total. I'll scan your code."
"it is good."
Just then, Lu Fan remarked, "That's strange, why did my wife close the shop so early today?"
Jia Sheng didn't seem to mind and said with a smile, "Does your wife also own a shop on this street?"
"Yes, it's the flower shop next door," Lu Fan replied.
Upon hearing this, Jia Sheng abruptly raised his head, frowning, and said, "What? The flower shop next door, your wife is Jiang Yixia?"
"Yes," Lu Fan nodded. "My wife is Jiang Yixia, boss, do you know her?"
Jia Sheng was immediately embarrassed.
"Wait a minute, I remember she got divorced. You're her ex-husband, right?" Jia Sheng asked, puzzled.
"Not ex-husband, but husband," Lu Fan added, adding insult to injury.
Jia Sheng stammered anxiously, "But...but these past two years...you..."
"We were only separated for the past two years while I was away. It didn't mean we stopped loving each other. Now I'm back." Lu Fan didn't want to tell him too much, since he already knew the information he needed to know.
He then waved his hand, preparing to leave.
This completely ruined Jia Sheng's mood for watching the show.
He quickly came out and looked at the flower shop next door.
As expected, Jiang Yixia closed the shop early today.
"Yixia doesn't usually close this early, does she? Could it really be because her husband is back?" Jia Sheng didn't dare to speculate any further.
Could it be that Jiang Yixia closed the shop so early just so she could go home with her husband later?
Thinking of this, Jia Sheng felt both anxious and annoyed.
"How...how did I suddenly get another husband?!"
......
Lu Fan didn't look back, but walked straight towards the dry cleaner.
He had just walked in when Li Li saw him.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, brother, you haven't left yet?"
Lu Fan said with a smile, "I came here specifically to see the proprietress."
"You came to see me?" Li Li perked up. "What do you want?"
"It's like this, Yixia and I had some misunderstandings a few years ago, and I've been looking for her ever since. I've finally found her. She's been running a flower shop here for the past two years, and as the eldest sister, you must have taken good care of her," Lu Fan explained.
Upon hearing this, Li Li naturally took the credit: "That's true. I usually help her when she's busy at her shop. Anyway, my dry cleaning business has always been stable."
"I am truly grateful for Sister Li's help, and I hope that Sister Li can help Yixia more in the future. By the way, I happen to have a garment factory in Guangzhou, and I do need a dry cleaning shop to cooperate with. How about this, I will leave you my phone number, and you can discuss the specific cooperation details with my assistant," Lu Fan replied.
Upon hearing this, Li Li immediately became excited: "That's great! Thank you so much!"
In this way, Lu Fan obtained Li Li's contact information.
Before leaving, Lu Fan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Actually, Sister Li, I came here this time with a favor to ask. There may be some misunderstandings between Yi Xia and me that need to be cleared up. If possible, I hope you can put in a good word for me with Yi Xia."
"Of course, no problem. Don't worry, I've got it covered. My sister Li is famous for her quick wit on this street, her little tongue is so fast~~" Li Li said, pointing to her lips.
After Lu Fan had won over Li Li, he turned his attention to the steamed bun shop across from the flower shop.
