Dating After Divorce - Chapter 58

Pei Xuan is the only daughter, born to be the jewel of the Pei family, and the only heir to the Pei family’s property.

She and Pei Yi are both young ladies who have grown up with thousands of pets since childhood.

The only difference between the mother and daughter’s growing environment is that her father never gave her too much expectations and high expectations like Zhou Ruguang.

She didn’t need to be a perfect daughter, and she never felt any pressure from the outside world.

Her life was smooth sailing without any setbacks.

Marrying Zhou Ruguang, for her, is just a transition from one happy family to another.

As a wife, her trust and admiration for her husband and her love for him are beyond doubt.

Because of this, she never had any doubts about Zhou Ruguang.

She supports her husband’s career, even though she has no idea what he studies in the laboratory every day; she believes in her husband’s character, even if he never allows her to step into the study.

She has a simple personality and is ignorant of the world. At the age of fifty, she still looks like a little girl sometimes, and she can easily be moved by the little surprises Zhou Ruguang made.

Pei Yi looked at this well-maintained, gentle and kind face in front of him, and there was some unbearableness in his eyes.

If one day in the future, all the things Zhou Rutian did behind the scenes were exposed, would her mother really have enough courage to bear such a blow?

Just can’t even think about it.

In her throat, it was as if a breath was blocked, and she couldn’t get out or go down, and she was sore and uncomfortable.

After a while, he nodded slightly and continued to ask along the topic.

“Mom, why did you choose Dad?”

“At that time, Dad was divorced, and you were so young, there must be someone more suitable for marriage than him?”

“By the way, Dad’s ex-wife, have you seen it? Why haven’t you heard Dad mention this for so many years?”

Pei Yi rarely communicated with Pei Xuan about emotional issues. Regarding Luo Zhen, it was when Pei Yi was rejected and came back from Luo’s house crying, so she vaguely guessed something inside.

Hearing Pei Yi’s question at this moment, as a mother, she is happy to solve her daughter’s doubts.

“Marriage is a lifetime event. It’s not about ‘suitability’, but ‘like it or not’.”

“The first time I saw your father in the hospital, he was only twenty-two years old, and many girls were chasing him. At that time, I knew him, but he didn’t know me, until two years later your grandfather was sick and hospitalized , we really got to know each other.”

“Your father is very kind to me. He is very motivated and responsible. Not only do I like him, but your grandfather and your grandmother also like him very much.”

“Before we established the relationship, he confessed to me that he had been married. He said that his ex-wife was ill and did not want to drag him down, so he took the initiative to divorce him. Not long after the divorce, the ex-wife died.”

“Your father doesn’t like to mention it, and he doesn’t like to be asked about it. Don’t say you don’t know, your elder brother and your second brother don’t know either.”

Pei Yi was stunned when she heard the sound, her lips pursed unconsciously, because she was too shocked, she stepped back unconsciously.

Ning Rou is thirty-two years old this year, while Zhou Ruguang is fifty-five years old.

That is to say, when Ning Rou was born, Zhou Ruguang was only twenty-three years old. According to Pei Xuan, Zhou Ruguang declared that he was single at the age of twenty-two.

His ex-wife, who died of illness before he was twenty-two, actually gave birth to a daughter for him when he was twenty-three.

Pei Yi’s lips moved because she was too frightened, and the back of her palm was full of cold sweat.

She couldn’t believe how much her father had concealed and panicked over the past 30 years after he joined the Pei family.

Even his ex-wife, Ning Rou’s biological mother, is very likely-not dead.

The specific requirements for recruiting apprentices at Tangshui Shop have not been inquired in detail before.

Ning Rou got off work the next day, and Luo Zhen took her and Ning Baobao to the store again.

This time, Jiang Rong finally determined the basic requirements.

To be an apprentice, you don’t need any basics. As long as you can pay the tuition, you can sign up. The fee is 800 yuan a month. If you have to do it for one year, you will not be paid during the period, but you will provide the apprentice with room and board, and the food in the store can Unlimited free food.

When the master learned that Ning Rou had a daughter, he generously expressed that she did not mind her bringing the child to work.

The conditions are not harsh, and some of the benefits given are far beyond Ning Rou’s imagination.

Without any hesitation, she signed her name on the contract.

This matter is settled.

Because two people were hired at a time, Ning Rou didn’t have to stay in the shop all day. After consulting with the master, she would just come to help in the afternoon. As for the morning, another apprentice would be in charge.

Doing only half a day means that the other half of the day is free.

Ning Rou didn’t want to give up her job at Xiangchaxuan. When she came out of the store, there was a hint of hesitation between her brows.

After getting in the car, she asked Luo Zhen in a low voice.

“At the tea restaurant, can I continue to do it?”

She didn’t want to resign in her heart, but she also knew that Luo Zhen didn’t want her to continue to work there.

She thought Luo Zhen would dissuade her, but unexpectedly, the other party nodded in agreement.

“of course can.”

“It’s just that you only do morning work, and the lady boss won’t necessarily agree.”

Ning Rou did not consider this point.

Her expression was a little embarrassed. Just as she was thinking about how to tell the proprietress at that time, she patted the back of her hand with one hand.

In the next moment, a reassuring word sounded in his ear.

“It’s better than this. When you officially start work in Tangshui Shop, I will find an opportunity to go to the tea restaurant and ask you if you can continue to work. As for the salary, I will try to help you talk about the previous half.”

Luo Zhen’s negotiating skills are absolutely top-notch.

Her willingness to help is half the battle.

Ning Rou opened her eyes, her two thin lips were slightly pressed together, and she looked at her in surprise.

Obviously he didn’t expect Luo Zhen to support him so much.

“Really?”

She still couldn’t believe it.

Seeing her stunned appearance, Luo Zhen couldn’t help but smile slightly, her two thin eyebrows stretched, and the coldness in her eyes disappeared silently.

“real.”

“I know you need this job very much.”

“If I can help you, I’ll be happy too.”

None of these words are true.

It’s just that, in addition to helping Ning Rou keep her job, Luo Zhenzhen also hides a little thought when she goes to the lady boss.

There are many things that can be done in a tea restaurant.

In addition to the hard work of sweeping the floor, collecting bowls, and cleaning the table in the outer hall, the cook in the back kitchen also needs help.

Ning Rou likes to tinker with food, and her cooking skills are not bad. Instead of letting her do those hard physical tasks, it is better to transfer her to the back kitchen to help the master, at least, so that she can learn something.

Naturally, she wouldn’t say these thoughts.

And Ning Rou, of course, wouldn’t know.

Days go by like this.

After receiving Jiang Rong’s notice, Song Fu immediately flew to Yuanxiang from Haishi after finishing the work at hand.

She and Jiang Rong joined the company in the same year. They have a good relationship. As for their personalities, one is calm and reserved, and the other is lively and cheerful.

Luo really took a fancy to her steady temperament and transferred her over.

The reason is to hope that someone will help Ning Rou more in the store.

The day after Jiang Rong left, Ning Rou and Song Fu went to the sugar water shop.

And Luo Zhen also took this opportunity to go to Xiangcha Xuan alone.

Seeing her appear, the proprietress who sat in front of the counter to check the accounts was a little surprised.

“Miss Luo, are you looking for Xiao Ning? She is resting today.”

Luo Zhen often picks up Ning Rou to work, many times, everyone in the store knows that she has a good friend named ‘A Luo’.

The lady boss is no exception.

It was ten o’clock in the morning, and there were not many customers in the store. Several guys sat in the corner to rest, very quiet.

Luo Zhen approached slowly and responded quickly.

“No, I’m here to discuss something with you.”

Her tone of voice was very polite and serious.

The proprietress was stunned for a while, and after a few seconds passed, she put down the ledger in her hand and took Luo Zhen into the lounge at the back.

There is no one in the house and it is a good place to talk.

Luo Zhen hasn’t spoken yet, the proprietress has already guessed who she is here for.

“Is it about Xiaoning?”

Luo Zhen nodded, and in three or two sentences, he told about Ning Rou’s apprenticeship in the sugar water shop.

“Rourou is over there. I only do it in the afternoon. In the morning, I still want to do it in the store.”

“Considering her health, I would like to make a deal with you.”

“I hope you can let her continue to work in the store. As for her salary, I will pay half of the previous salary.”

“In terms of job content, I also want you to change her too, from the front hall to the back kitchen, so that she can help the kitchen master every day and learn how to cook.”

“For this part of the job transfer, I can pay you a certain monthly fee, just as she learns the craft in your kitchen.”

Luo Zhen’s conditions couldn’t be more perfect.

From the perspective of the proprietress, it is equivalent to having an additional employee for free, not only without having to pay wages, but also with additional money.

It is simply a good thing that falls from the sky.

Luo Zhen couldn’t think of any reason for the boss’s refusal.

But in fact, the proprietress really shook her head and refused her request.

“Xiao Ning wants to continue, I will definitely keep her.”

“It’s just that I really can’t help with your last request.”

“The noise from the back kitchen is too heavy. It’s not a place for Xiaoning to stay, let alone learning how to cook, or helping the master. It’s a problem for her.”

In the lounge, it was quiet.

Every word of the proprietress’s words was so clear, but together, Luo Zhen didn’t understand a word.

She frowned unconsciously, and before she could understand what these words meant, the proprietress’ lips loosened again, and a slight sigh came out.

In this sigh, there is sympathy, pity, and helplessness.

In Luo Zhen’s heart, some unease appeared inexplicably.

What is ‘Ning Rou can’t stay in a place with heavy noise’? What does it mean ‘Ning Rou’s help to the master is a problem’?

She vaguely guessed something, but wasn’t sure.

But the heart in his chest was completely panicked.

“What’s the meaning?”

It seemed that Luo Zhen had no idea about Ning Rou’s ear illness.

The proprietress raised her eyes with a look of surprise on her face. She was stunned for a few seconds before explaining aloud.

In his voice, it was unbelievable.

“You and Xiaoning are so close, don’t you know?”

“Xiao Ning’s left ear has long been inaudible.”
