From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!-Chapter 1066 - 1062: Enemies Meet Again

In the afternoon, Lu Yuanfeng returned to the restaurant.

Hearing about the rejection of the Liu Family banquet from the waiters, Lu Yuanfeng immediately went to the backyard to find Mu Shuangshuang.

He thought that Mu Shuangshuang would be upset or emotional, but unexpectedly, Mu Shuangshuang was still in a good mood.

The smile on her face was as radiant as ever.

Lu Yuanfeng approached, stood beside Mu Shuangshuang, and handed her the prepared contract.

"Shuangshuang, I heard about the Liu Family... I think we don’t necessarily need to rely on them to gain the recognition of the town’s dignitaries for our restaurant.

We’re doing well as it is, business is booming every day, and there are more and more people coming just to listen to you tell stories."

Mu Shuangshuang knew that Lu Yuanfeng was trying to comfort her, and she understood that for others, this would be a significant blow.

But for her, it really wasn’t.

She had tried her best, but if she couldn’t get it, then it wasn’t her problem.

"Actually, it’s nothing, I don’t feel regretful, I’m even relieved! I’ve heard too many rumors about Mrs. Liu before—

kind-hearted, intelligent, distributing rice to the poor people of Qingshan Town, giving porridge, donating medicine... I thought such a woman would be different.

In the end, she’s just blinded by trash! Not at all what I expected!"

Mu Shuangshuang considered herself someone with character.

She made friends based only on character, nothing else mattered!

Lu Yuanfeng was somewhat surprised, but he fully agreed with what Mu Shuangshuang said.

"Yes, if they’re not on the same path, they can’t work together. Moreover, we have strength, and we’re not afraid of not having our day to shine!"

Not only Lu Yuanfeng was confident, but even Yu Dahai felt that it’s just a matter of time before Chengfeng Restaurant is accepted by more people.

Mu Shuangshuang was somewhat touched; she liked Lu Yuanfeng’s confidence!

"Fengzi, in a month, it will be the fish tide in Dahuo Village. We can go there, catch some fish, and use them as seedlings for our fish pond."

The fish pond had been dug long ago, and a batch of fish seedlings had been placed in it before, but the number was small.

Mu Shuangshuang was waiting for the fish tide in Dahuo Village; by then, the fish in the village’s river would be the most worthless things.

Given her relationship with Zhuangzi’s mother, going there to catch fish for a day shouldn’t be a problem.

"Great! I’ll arrange it!" Lu Yuanfeng said.

After chatting for a while, Yu Dahai also joined in. Like Lu Yuanfeng, he first comforted Mu Shuangshuang and then shared similar sentiments—

mainly saying that he also believed in the strength of the restaurant.

Initially, Mu Shuangshuang felt fine, but after listening to the two, she felt a bit guilty for being so relaxed despite their comfort.

So she deliberately put on a serious face and said, "Looks like I should cry a bit; otherwise, Brother Yu and Fengzi’s words are wasted."

Yu Dahai and Lu Yuanfeng laughed heartily.

This matter wasn’t just a pressure on Mu Shuangshuang; Yu Dahai and Lu Yuanfeng also felt it.

They had done a lot of preparation for the banquet, only to end up failing.

But just like Mu Shuangshuang said, it’s enough that they’ve tried!

After they finished chatting, it wasn’t early anymore. Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Shuangshuang were heading back to the village, and Yu Dahai bid them farewell, asking the waiters to bring out their carriage.

He watched them leave the range of Chengfeng Restaurant before turning back.

Mu Shuangshuang returned home, stayed for a while, and then wandered to the main residence of the Old Mu Family.

Mu Qingqing had given her such a big gift; it wouldn’t do for her not to scare her at the Old Mu Family’s house given her nature of returning any favor, however small.

Just as she entered the Old Mu Family’s yard, a familiar silhouette suddenly came into Mu Shuangshuang’s view.

One glance, and she knew who it was.

Mu Zhenzhen, her aunt, she... had actually returned!

Mu Shuangshuang still remembered when Mu Zhenzhen was locked in her room by Mr. Mu, asking for her help. Though claiming it was asking, there was no attitude of seeking help, and it wasn’t until Mu Shuangshuang threatened her that she relented.

But it’s been almost a year since Mu Zhenzhen’s departure; Mu Shuangshuang even thought she had disappeared from this world.

This sudden return, was it because she’d made a fortune, or had she fallen on hard times?

Mu Shuangshuang guessed the latter was more likely; Mu Zhenzhen had always been opportunistic, just like the others in the Old Mu Family. Unless she had reached a dead end, the chance of her coming back was zero!

Following the principle of avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Mu Shuangshuang decided to abandon the idea of bothering Mu Qingqing first and instead avoid Mu Zhenzhen for now.

Just as she turned around, Mu Zhenzhen’s shout came from behind.

Seeing Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Zhenzhen seemed particularly excited. But contrary to Mu Shuangshuang’s expectations, she didn’t reprimand her.

Instead, she eagerly approached Mu Shuangshuang with familiarity, "Oh, Shuangshuang, long time no see. You’ve become even more beautiful!"

Mu Shuangshuang was taken aback; this was entirely unlike Mu Zhenzhen’s style.

Logically speaking, if Mu Zhenzhen had fallen on hard times, she’d come to find trouble first.

How could she be like this now, speaking so gently?

Could it be, did she suffer outside and decide to change her ways and correct her mistakes?

Just as Mu Shuangshuang thought this, Mu Zhenzhen revealed her true nature.

"Shuangshuang, I heard from your second aunt that you opened a restaurant in town? And have a school in the village? You must have earned a lot, right? Tell your aunt, how much did you make?" Mu Zhenzhen asked.

Mu Shuangshuang rolled her eyes; she thought Mu Zhenzhen was ready to start anew.

Turns out she thought there was profit to be gained from her.

Mu Shuangshuang feigned a difficult expression, "Actually, not much! Just barely managing the household. And Second Aunt, have you found your happiness?"

After Mu Shuangshuang answered this way, not only did Mu Zhenzhen not distance herself from her.

Instead, she felt even more that Mu Shuangshuang had made a fortune.

In the past year outside, Mu Zhenzhen had learned one thing: the richer people are, the more low-key they are.

On the contrary, those who like to brag about their wealth might not even have a penny in their pocket.

If Mu Shuangshuang had directly claimed she made a fortune, Mu Zhenzhen might not have been interested in her.

Now, Mu Zhenzhen planned to focus entirely on Mu Shuangshuang.

To scrape some money and live a good life.

Moreover, Mu Zhenzhen had also heard that Mu Shuangshuang had a good relationship with Zhuangzi’s mother, the old hag. With this girl’s support, her reunion with Zhuangzi might soon be successful.

"Ah, happiness or not! I was just being immature at the time.

Besides, my going out wasn’t for anyone; I just felt like a village woman, cooped up in the village every day, not seeing the outside world.

This year, I’ve been to many places, seen a lot, and now I just want to settle down!"

In front of Mu Shuangshuang, Mu Zhenzhen completely denied her past.

At the same time, she portrayed herself as a woman with dreams and pursuits.
