After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 690 - 298: Originally a Devoted Follower, Why the Rush to Betray? (Subscribe, please!)_3

Today, there was time to visit Yao Mingyue’s disposable tableware processing factory together.

Now, apart from being childhood friends, he was also Xu Musen’s biggest partner.

The milk tea shop and takeout business both needed disposable tableware, including milk tea cups, and even some custom-made small gifts.

Many of the designs, such as the sealing method for the milk tea cups and the anti-reflux design for the cups, had already been patented,

so now the two of them were keeping the profits within their own circle.

In the office, the two of them were eating boxed meals from the canteen.

Yao Mingyue was somewhat listless, staring at the greasy boxed meal and feeling a bit loss of appetite.

"Why aren’t you eating?"

Xu Musen, however, was eating quite happily; the taste of boxed meals from the factory canteen obviously couldn’t compare with a big restaurant, but with enough meat and flavor, they were perfect for those doing physical work.

"It doesn’t taste as good as the meals you make."

Yao Mingyue’s palate had been spoiled by Xu Musen long ago.

"Be content with having meat and vegetables. Didn’t you also enjoy eating in the school cafeteria before?" Xu Musen gulped down a chicken leg.

Yao Mingyue, supporting her delicate chin in one hand, looked at Xu Musen wolfing down his food with a forlorn smile, "It’s easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. You’ve spoiled me with tasty food; you’ll have to take responsibility, you know~"

Xu Musen gave her a speechless look, "So if I stop cooking for you in the future, you’re going to starve to death?"

Yao Mingyue showed a smile, "Would you bear to see me starve to death?"

Xu Musen did not respond.

Yao Mingyue smiled even more joyfully and handed her chicken leg from her boxed meal to him, "Actually, I wouldn’t mind eating the meals you cook for the rest of my life..."

Xu Musen felt that this sentence sounded familiar.

But at that moment, the ringtone of his phone suddenly interrupted what he was about to say.

It was Zhao Lianmai’s.

Xu Musen answered with a hello, but heard Zhao Lianmai’s voice tinged with urgency.

"There’s trouble at the milk tea shop downtown; come and have a look, we’re all here."

"Okay, I’ll be right there."

Xu Musen hesitated not a bit; with Zhao Lianmai’s tone, it seemed that there must be a big problem at the shop.

"What happened?"

Yao Mingyue noticed his sudden anxiety.

"There’s some issue at the downtown milk tea shop; I’m going to check it out."

"I’m coming with you!"

Yao Mingyue also stood up immediately.

They left the factory and drove straight to the milk tea shop.

The downtown milk tea shop was Xu Musen’s largest branch, essentially the main shop by now. It had become somewhat of an "internet famous store" on this street.

It was a popular spot for many university students to buy milk tea for their significant others, using this brand as a symbol of their affection.

The place was usually bustling with long queues.

Now, the shop was surrounded and completely inaccessible.

Even a few reporters with cameras were present.

Xu Musen parked his car on the street and seeing the scene, it felt all too similar to the last time there had been an incident at the milk tea shop.

Zhao Lianmai, having received the news, also rushed over covertly.

"What happened?"

"This morning, suddenly, a group of people came from a school nearby, claiming they had problems after drinking our milk tea. Over half the students in one class got diarrhea and a few even had to be hospitalized. Now the media and even the police are planning to come over for an investigation."

Zhao Lianmai quickly laid out the situation.

Xu Musen listened with a tight frown, this plot was eerily similar to what he had heard last time at the school.

However, this time the incident was clearly more serious: the victims were school students, and it was a group incident. If not handled properly, this could really turn into a major disaster.

"Our shop doesn’t have a problem, does it?"

Xu Musen still wanted to make sure. Now that he had multiple branches, each with its own manager, he couldn’t possibly take care of everything himself.

"No problem, the procurement channels for this shop are all approved by me. The fruit supplier has always been the same person, and there has never been a mistake before."

Xu Musen nodded, still wondering who he had recently offended. If there was no problem with his shop, then it must be someone else trying to target him.

Xu Musen’s gaze turned to the counterfeit milk tea shop not far away.

He had a suspicion forming in his mind.

"That’s him, he’s the owner of the milk tea shop, catch him before he runs away!"

Just at that moment, a crew-cut boy in the crowd saw Xu Musen, recognized him, and immediately started shouting.

The crowd’s attention instantly shifted to Xu Musen.

A few journalists also quickly surrounded him.

The crew-cut boy rushed over to grab Xu Musen’s collar: "It’s you! Everyone, look at this man. He sold us the poisonous milk tea. How dare you poison us students! I’ll hit..."

The boy had a fierce air about him, looking like a troublemaker. He came over trying to grab Xu Musen’s collar and even raised his fist, about to strike.

But before he could move forward, Yao Mingyue lifted her long, slender leg and kicked him in the shin, almost causing his aggressive approach to stumble and fall.

"You!"

The crew-cut boy never expected the stunningly beautiful girl before him to strike so swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly.

"Talk all you want, but if you dare to get physical, you’re looking for trouble!"

The last two words weren’t spoken aloud by Yao Mingyue, but her eyes, which naturally carried an air of nobility and authority, exuded a presence that was beyond her age.

That was enough to silence the defiant boy in front of her.

Xu Musen and Zhao Lianmai both looked at Yao Mingyue.

At that moment, a term popped into both of their minds simultaneously.

Overbearing wife!

The milk tea shop was bustling.

"Everyone come and see; this milk tea shop sold us poisonous milk tea. Our whole class got diarrhea from it, and some are even still in the hospital!"

Although the crew-cut boy didn’t continue his charge, he was still yelling.

Xu Musen didn’t want to tangle with the crew-cut boy. He could tell that someone had prepared these lines for the boy.

But judging by the scene he was making, it’s likely that what he said couldn’t be a lie—a whole class had issues after drinking the tea, and this could mean someone was going to end up in serious trouble.

This looked like an attempt to bring him down entirely.

Xu Musen narrowed his eyes; normal business competition wouldn’t escalate to this level.

"Stop making baseless accusations. Our shop’s fruit is the freshest every day; there’s no way it could cause diarrhea. You have no proof, so where’s the evidence?"

The shop’s staff, facing the aggressive crowd outside, were also indignantly defending the shop’s reputation.

"Here’s the evidence!"

From among the crowd, a man wearing a suit and gold-framed glasses, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, stepped forward.

The crowd’s gaze shifted to look at him.

Xu Musen also looked up, and when he saw who it was, a spark flashed in his eyes.

Was it him?

Luo Hao, Xu Musen was familiar with this man.

From the first glance at him, Xu Musen felt a strange sense of calm.

At the least, the enemy had now revealed himself.
