CHAPTER 335
"My father had suddenly started smuggling drugs and so weapons back then. A lot of us were against him because he was doing the exact sa thing we were fighting against. I talked and argued with him about him but he was still adamant. So I left," Zhao Fu explained.
"But if you guys were fighting against other mafia gangs, why not work for the army or so agency?" Jiang ilin asked.
She found it a little absurd that there would be any mafia gang that would be good enough to fight other gangs just for... good.
"Well, mafia runs deep in the line of our family. My father wanted a change and went for it. But he still followed their ways. But trust I am not like that," Zhao Fu quickly said.
"But your past is still the sa. You might have to anyone for the bad deeds of your fathers. I do not want to always be wary of who is out there waiting for the right mont to strike. I do not want to be used by your enemies as a dium to get you."
"Sigh. I swear on my already dead father's grave that nothing will happen to you or anyone you hold dear," Zhao Fu swore.
"Your dad is dead?" Jiang ilin asked in surprise.
"Yes, he is. Apparently from an overdose of drugs. Look, if it makes you feel better, I used to work for the army," Zhao Fu said.
"You did? Since when?"
"Well, after you shattered my hopes of getting back with you," Zhao Fu said with a pitiful expression.
Jiang ilin rolled her eyes at his act.
"I am being serious. When you broke the news of your marriage to , I was broken. It was at that ti I lost my only family which was my father. So, as the gang was dissolved, I joined the army and made my way into being a high position of general."
"Even at that Zhao Fu, we can't start afresh. I am too old for relationships now," Jiang ilin shook her head.
"But you are not old. You are still as beautiful as ever and as fresh as those pretty flowers that bloom in spring. Even if you are old, do I look like I am young myself?"
"No. But my answer still remains no," Jiang ilin said.
She took his silence as an opportunity for her to get going. Standing up, she thanked him for the cappuccino and left. Zhao Fu sighed.
"It looks like her mind is already made up," he said dejectedly. "But so is mine."
His gaze had changed to that of a determined lover.
"There are a lot of ways to make you accept my love, i. I just need to start by letting you realize that our feelings are mutual. At least your cheeks were slightly red when I complinted on your beauty. I still have hope," he muttered to himself.
After finishing his cup of black coffee, he called the waiter and paid the bill. Then, he left the cafe heading straight to Jiang ilin's grocery store.
"What do you want now? Have you decided to start following ?" Jiang ilin asked in shock and suspicion.
"No, but that would not be a bad idea. I can start now," Zhao Fu joked.
"Don't you dare," Jiang ilin sent him a warning glare.
"Hahaha," he let out a small laugh. "Relax, I am just pulling your legs. I ca back for my groceries," Zhao Fu pointed at the grocery on her counter.
"Sigh. How could you forget?" Jiang ilin said under her breath?
"I will just pretend that I did not hear that, i," Zhao Fu said.
" did not say it for you not to hear," Jiang ilin retired.
"Well, then why were you talking so lowly? If not for my sharp ears, I would not have heard what you said," Zhao Fu said.
"Hahaha. Good for you and your sensitive ears," she laughed sarcastically. "What you bought is six hundred and seventy yuan," passed him his groceries in multiple bags as what he bought was much.
"Can I get a discount for knowing the owner of this grocery store?" Zhao Fu asked.
"Even if you know the owner, you would pay the sa as every other custor. Now, step aside and allow to attend to others," Jiang ilin said in a flat tone.
"Tsk. You are so itchy to send away. Fine, I will go. See ya tomorrow," Zhao Fu said before he left.
"Hmph. Who will still want to see you tomorrow? Thank God that Bai Renxiang is sending her driver to co and pick up. I will just stay at ho until the driver arrives," Jiang ilin mumbled.
After the day ca to a close and when the last custor left Jiang ilin decided to wrap up and close the store. Once they got ho, Shin ward up the food and served dinner.
"So, is Bai Renxiang and little Jin coming ho today?" Shane asked.
"No. We should get used to them not coming ho once in a while," Jiang ilin answered with a smile.
"Why?" Shin asked.
"Well, she discovered that the father of Xiaojin is Li Fengjin, her boyfriend."
"Are you kidding ?" Shane exclaid.
"How did she find out?" Shin asked.
"Well, first if all their resemblance. Then, Li Fengjin told her bout it. Also, she is engaged to him already," Jiang ili said.
"Whoah, whoa! Hold up, slow down. Sis is engaged?"
"Yes, she is. So, I will not be here tomorrow. You two will have to take care of the opening and maybe the closing of the store tomorrow."
"Wow! This is perfect. When you go, send my congrats to them," Shane said.
"I will do that."
"So, who was the custor that you left with? You were quite shocked. Is he soone we should worry about?" Shin asked.
"Oh, that man. Well, he is just an old acquaintance."
