Reborn As Lucky Star-Chapter 161 - What is the Old Swindler Up To
Chapter 161: Chapter 161 What is the Old Swindler Up To
Yue Jiandong was a decisive man; he took Qingqing to the city early the next morning.
Originally, he had thought about going alone.
But as soon as his daughter heard he might be visiting the Four Seas Restaurant, she licked her lips and looked at him with eager eyes.
Yue Jiandong had no choice but to bring the little foodie with him.
Once in the city, Yue Jiandong made a beeline for the Four Seas Restaurant and found Zheng Tianbo.
Perhaps it was because he had been managing the Four Seas Restaurant all this time, Zheng Tianbo seemed to have put on weight, looking much more prosperous.
He was always smiling, which made people feel happy just looking at him.
Seeing Zheng Tianbo’s aura, Yue Qingqing could tell that he had been living a good life these past three years.
That golden, glittering aura was clearly one of wealth. With such a manager at the helm of Four Seas Restaurant, it was no wonder that business was booming.
As soon as Yue Jiandong entered the door, Zheng Tianbo spotted him.
“Old Yue, what brings you here today?”
It was still a good half a month away from the agreed delivery date.
Their cooperation over the past few years had gone smoothly, and their relationship had grown closer than before, making their conversations less constrained.
Yue Jiandong got straight to the point, “I need a favor from you.”
Knowing Yue Jiandong was not one to ask for help lightly, Zheng Tianbo immediately nodded.
“Let’s talk upstairs.”
Once in Zheng Tianbo’s office, Yue Jiandong stated his request.
Zheng Tianbo listened attentively and even became a bit angry when he heard the full story.
“Your brother has been supporting someone for three years, and only now he discovers that the person has another significant other in school?”
Yue Jiandong nodded, “Yes, my younger brother has been wholeheartedly devoted to her, never expecting to encounter such a situation. But we suspect that there’s more to it, and that the Yu Family might have had issues from the start.”
Zheng Tianbo didn’t hesitate, slapping his chest in assurance.
“Don’t worry, Old Yue, I have some connections in the city. I’ll definitely try to find out more for you.”
Yue Jiandong quickly thanked him, “I really appreciate it, but your business comes first. If you can’t find anything, it’s okay.”
“No problem, I have my ways,” replied Zheng Tianbo confidently.
He then looked at Yue Qingqing with fondness and said, “Qingqing is getting prettier by the day, truly a beautiful young lady in the making. You’re going to have a lot on your hands when she grows up.”
Yue Qingqing tilted her face upward and smiled sweetly at Zheng Tianbo, her smile tinged with ingratiating charm.
After all, her father often brought her delicious treats from the Four Seas Restaurant.
Zheng Tianbo sighed with emotion, feeling an urge to whisk the little sweetie back to his own home.
Upon hearing Zheng Tianbo’s words, Yue Jiandong felt both proud and anxious.
He thought he’d better keep a close eye on things in the future, to ensure no crafty young man could easily deceive his precious daughter.
Zheng Tianbo had the chefs prepare a few of Yue Qingqing’s favorite dishes and packed them for Yue Jiandong to take home.
He also accompanied Yue Jiandong to the entrance, waiting until their figures had disappeared from sight before returning inside.

Not long after entering the restaurant, a doorman came to announce that the young master was about to enter.
Zheng Tianbo quickly turned to welcome him.
In three years, Jiang Jingze had grown much taller, his face losing its baby fat, revealing handsome and distinct features.
It was clear that he would grow into a charming young man, assuming he was able to grow up safely.
Zheng Tianbo had an extra mat placed at the entrance, fearful that Jiang Jingze might stumble, but fortunately, the latter managed to enter steadily.
Jiang Jingze looked to Zheng Tianbo and asked indifferently, “Is the kitchen ready?”
Zheng Tianbo hurriedly nodded, “Yes, it’s all ready for you.”
He truly didn’t understand the young master’s habits.
Despite having a wealthy father, he insisted on regularly visiting the Four Seas Restaurant to have a master chef teach him culinary skills.
Why should such a young lord endure this hardship? And besides, kitchens are dangerous, aren’t they?
What Zheng Tianbo didn’t know was that Jiang Jingze was even more puzzled than him.
Ever since narrowly escaping disaster more than three years ago, Jiang Chengren treated the words of the old shaman as sacred and dared not defy them.
The old shaman had claimed that to ensure Jiang Jingze’s safety for life, it was essential for him to master the culinary arts.
That was why his parents, with tears in their eyes, had their son start by flipping spoons and develop calluses on his palms.
At a young age, Jiang Jingze’s skills were already sufficient for him to be a head chef at any ordinary restaurant.
Jiang Jingze truly couldn’t comprehend it; while most swindlers conned for money, what was this old shaman really after?
