Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1172 - 1174: Who Is That Woman?

Though Guo Feng and Li Fugui are of similar age,

Guo Feng has been navigating the business world for many years. Saying the right words to the right people is his forte.

In contrast, Li Fugui is quite straightforward; even though his family owns the Dongfeng Restaurant, he hasn’t mastered the skill of adapting his words to different people.

In this conversation, Guo Feng didn’t resort to threats or aggression, yet he decisively outmaneuvered Li Fugui.

Guo Feng had already stated his position clearly; there was little Li Fugui could say in return. All he managed was, "You’d better keep your word."

Guo Feng maintained an earnest expression, "I keep my promises."

Li Fugui forced a bitter smile. It seemed they had indeed become adversaries. Besides Xiaotian, there was nothing left to discuss. "Young Master Guo, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head back. I have many things to do in the kitchen."

"Alright, go ahead," Guo Feng saw no reason to stay. He knew Li Fugui would likely leave for Xiaotian’s sake after this conversation.

With a forlorn look, Li Fugui left the private room. But as soon as he stepped out, a graceful figure appeared before him, and he asked in surprise, "Yang Qiu, what are you doing here?"

Yang Qiu, whose face resembled Xiaotian’s, beamed a sweet smile and said, "Brother-in-law, you might not know this, but I’m learning about business under Sister Xiangxiang’s guidance. She sent me to Lin County to gain experience. My sister told me you were here and asked me to find you so you could look out for me. It’s my first time traveling so far."

It was indeed Yang Qiu’s first journey so far from home. Although she came with people from the Cloth Shop, she still felt a bit lost. To her, Li Fugui was family, and finding him brought some reassurance.

Yang Qiu’s words left Li Fugui quite surprised. He hadn’t expected even this young girl to start learning business. It seemed no one remained stagnant; everyone was progressing in their way, "Who’d you come with?"

"I came with people from the Cloth Shop. My sister didn’t feel comfortable letting me travel alone. They’re already at the place where we’re staying, so I came to find you."

Li Fugui nodded in understanding. After all, Yang Qiu was still young, and given her past experiences, she hadn’t traveled far in over a decade. It made sense, "So where are you staying now?"

"I’m staying at Uncle Chu’s place."

"You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Come on, let me take you to eat something nice."

"Haha, no, I haven’t. I came here hoping to dine with you, since Sister said you’ve learned to cook many new dishes."

"Alright, let’s go then. After we eat, I’ll take you back."

"..."

"..."

As soon as Guo Feng left the private room, he saw Li Fugui walking side by side with a young woman, chatting and laughing.

Initially, he didn’t think much of it. After all, socializing in business meant interacting with women.

But when he saw the woman smiling at Li Fugui, he paused.

Why did that profile look so much like Xiaotian?

He was puzzled, and then the woman turned to glance at him. It was that look back that confirmed it for him. She had a face that resembled Xiaotian’s.

Who was that woman? How did she know Li Fugui?

Could it be that, unable to find Xiaotian, Li Fugui found someone who looked like Xiaotian to take his place?
