Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1136 - 1138: The Flawless Man
Very quickly, Li Fugui was sent back to Yuelai Restaurant.
As soon as he arrived at the kitchen, everyone gathered around.
"How did it go? Head Chef Li, were you discovered?"
"Even if they discovered it, it doesn’t matter. After all, he’s our head chef—they’d secretly be delighted."
"Indeed? With Head Chef Li in action, he’s worth several others. Didn’t the young madam of the Guo Family eat well?"
"..."
"..."
Li Fugui had never expected that after searching for Xiaotian for more than half a year and using quite a number of people without success, a mistaken identity would instead lead to news of Xiaotian. Perhaps it was an arrangement by fate.
He curled his lips bitterly and said, "Old Master Guo wants me to visit the mansion every five days, specifically to cook for the young madam of the Guo Family."
"See, I said that with Head Chef Li in action, it would be absolutely fine."
To avoid being exposed, Li Fugui specifically instructed everyone, "By the way, I went under the name Chef Jiang. From now on, I’m Chef Jiang. Don’t let it slip."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Li Fugui didn’t know much about the Guo Mansion he visited today. However, now that he knows Xiaotian is there, he must investigate this family.
The prerequisite for the investigation is to know who this family is, so he first asked, "How much do you know about the Guo Mansion I visited today?"
"The Guo Family is the largest Dyeing Workshop in our county. They have a big business, even extending to Beijing. Their young master’s name is...?"
"Ah, right, Guo Feng. He’s about the same age as you, Head Chef Li."
Upon hearing the name Guo Feng, Li Fugui was shocked once more. Wasn’t this the young master of the Dyeing Workshop that Wang Xiangxiang mentioned when he first came to Lin County, suggesting he could contact him if needed?
But due to past experiences, the people he knew were unreliable. After an incident, they all distanced themselves. He wasn’t too enthusiastic about making new friends, thinking that everything should just happen as fate allows—so he didn’t make contact.
Yet, unexpectedly, this Guo Feng turned out to be Xiaotian’s current husband. He asked, "How is his reputation?"
"It’s great, truly great. He’s young, talented, capable, and doesn’t indulge in a lavish lifestyle. He’s expanding the Dyeing Workshop further. If you’re talking about the most desirable men to marry in this county, besides the young master of the Han Family, it’s this Master Guo. Unfortunately, both are already married now, and they’re known to treat their wives exceptionally well."
Hearing this, Li Fugui’s clenched fists hung at his sides. Such an impeccable man being so good to Xiaotian made Xiaotian’s choice understandable.
In contrast, looking at himself, he was nothing. What reason did he have for Xiaotian to choose him when they had known each other for many years before? Once again, he lost confidence. "How much do you know about the young madam of the Guo Family?"
"We don’t know much. The young madam of the Guo Family seems rarely to leave the house, so nobody recognizes her."
Li Fugui found it odd. When Wang Xiangxiang introduced her, she said this was her longtime friend. So, concerning Wang Xiangxiang helping to find Xiaotian, he should know something about it, right?
But since Xiaotian is clearly there, why would he intentionally stay silent? Is he deliberately hiding Xiaotian away?
If that’s the case, it’s truly frightening.
How could he feel at ease leaving Xiaotian with such a scheming person?
After much deliberation, he realized he had to find an opportunity to speak with Xiaotian, ask her about her recent situation face-to-face, and also tell her about locating her parents.
