Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 245: Homecoming (Part 3)

When Shen Qinglan was pulled by Shen Qingzhu to the main house, everyone was still dining.

As soon as they entered, the group quickly put down their chopsticks and eagerly greeted them with warmth.

"Third Sister, did you bring any tasty treats back from the prefecture?" Shen Qingping asked with a smile.

He was still a kid, after hearing she came back from a trip, his first question was naturally about tasty treats.

Shen Qinglan chuckled lightly, "Not this time, but next time, I’ll take you there to eat!"

"Alright!" Shen Qingping nodded.

Shen Qing’an shouted, "Then I want to go too!"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "Let’s all go together!"

"You went on a trip and got yourself thinner?" Dong Yao frowned, "Qingzhu, go to the kitchen and get a set of bowls and chopsticks for your sister."

"Okay!"

After Shen Qingzhu left, Dong Yao pulled her aside and asked, "I heard from your father that Tang the Shopkeeper said you went to the prefecture because of Shengxiang Restaurant’s branch, is that true?"

"Not really." Shen Qinglan whispered in her ear, "Actually, I co-opened a shop in the prefecture with our boss."

"Really?" Dong Yao was surprised, "How’s the business?"

Shen Qinglan nodded, "It’s going well, the food is delicious and there’s a lot of customers."

Dong Yao glanced at Shen Shan, seeing he was looking this way, quickly lowered her voice and asked, "Is your boss reliable?"

The reason she and Shen Shan trusted Old Tang was because they had met him, and by now, Shen Shan and Old Tang were quite familiar with each other.

But they had never met the mysterious boss of Shengxiang Restaurant.

"Don’t worry, Mother, our boss is a good person." Shen Qinglan said with a smile, "Don’t you remember? The Guest House, it was him who lent me the money to open it."

Dong Yao continued, "I heard from your aunt and cousin that your boss is quite handsome, but also heard he has a fiancée, is that true?"

"Not true!" Shen Qinglan said, "I was afraid they’d start matchmaking, so I deliberately lied to them, our boss actually... doesn’t have a fiancée."

Shen Qinglan thought: At most, he just has a girlfriend.

"You little rascal!" Dong Yao lightly poked her forehead, both crying and laughing, "If your aunt and cousin find out, they won’t let you hear the end of it."

Shen Qinglan chuckled softly.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Unable to hear anything even with his ears pricked up, Shen Shan finally couldn’t help but ask.

Dong Yao gave him a sideways glance, "None of your business, drink your tea." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Bowls and chopsticks are here!" Shen Qingzhu walked in with the tableware and smiled, "Third Sister, what do you want to eat? I’ll serve you."

"Get a bowl of soup for your third sister." Dong Yao said, "You must not have eaten well while traveling, have some soup to warm your stomach first."

Shen Qinglan stood up, "I’ll get it myself."

"Sit down." Dong Yao glanced at Shen Qingzhu teasingly, "Our family will be growing next month, let him practice taking care of people in advance."

Shen Qingzhu’s smile froze, and his ears visibly turned red.

Shen Qinglan lowered her head, hiding her laughter, Shen Qingzhu coughed lightly, and quickly tried to act seriously while serving her soup.

"Third Sister, here you go!"

Shen Qinglan hurriedly reached out to take the soup bowl, and looked at Dong Yao, "By the way, how’s Second Brother’s betrothal gift preparation going?"

"Everything’s ready." Dong Yao smiled, "Don’t worry, the betrothal gift your mother prepared definitely honors your second brother."

"Mother, Third Sister, you chat first, I’m going for a walk."

Watching Shen Qingzhu leave again, the group laughed quietly together.

Shen Qingping and Shen Qing’an also started chattering about how Second Brother was embarrassed, or something like that.
