Chapter 834: You Really Don't Remember
In his previous life, Chen Fan had already achieved fame and success when he met Yang Shuting.
This girl's personality was incredibly similar to Su Ruochu.
When he saw her, Chen Fan even felt a bit dazed, as if he had returned to his high school days.
Additionally, her facial features somewhat resembled Su Ruochu, which was one of the main reasons Chen Fan ultimately married her.
After marriage, Chen Fan treated Yang Shuting very well, even granting her every request.
He didn't let her work and bought her whatever she wanted.
But Chen Fan was just too busy. He had limited time to return home, so the couple didn't actually spend much time living together.
Most of the time, Yang Shuting was more like a golden canary that Chen Fan kept at home.
At first, she really enjoyed the feeling of being a wealthy man's wife.
But as time went on, this woman gradually lost herself in a world of money and desire.
Just based on what Yang Shuting did to him when Chen Fan was terminally ill and on his deathbed in his previous life.
It was impossible for Chen Fan to have any good feelings towards this woman.
To say he hated her, that was certainly true.
But Chen Fan had principles.
The previous life was the previous life.
In this lifetime, he and Yang Shuting didn't know each other.
Moreover, the Yang Shuting of this time wasn't yet the woman who had lost herself after marriage.
So, even though Chen Fan had accidentally encountered her a few times, he still had no intention of seeking revenge.
At most, he would avoid her. In this life, he didn't want to have any connection with her.
This time was the same. When he saw Yang Shuting in the store, Chen Fan immediately turned to leave.
But just as he walked out of the store entrance, he ran into Mo Siyu, who was getting out of a taxi.
"Eh? You came so early?" Mo Siyu waved her hand in surprise, then quickly walked towards Chen Fan.
"Did you specially wait for me at the entrance?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Let's go eat somewhere else."
"Why change places? Are there no seats inside?"
"No. I just want to change places."
Mo Siyu looked at Chen Fan puzzledly.
"It's so cold, and I've been wanting to eat at this restaurant."
Although she said this, she didn't ask Chen Fan for the reason, but obediently got into the car with him.
"Chen... boss. Where exactly are you taking me to eat?"
"You'll know when we get there."
"Tch. So mysterious." Mo Siyu pouted.
However, as Chen Fan drove through the city, Mo Siyu's expression suddenly became strange.
"Up ahead... that's the university town, right?"
"If we go a few more intersections, won't we reach Yunhai University?"
She had guessed correctly.
Chen Fan drove to the commercial street opposite the east gate of Yunhai University.
After several years of demolition and renovation.
The old, rundown commercial street that used to be here was long gone, replaced by a brand new food street.
When Mo Siyu graduated and went abroad for further studies, this place hadn't been built yet.
So this was her first time coming here.
As she walked here, Mo Siyu found everything very novel.
"It's changed. Everything's changed. It's completely different from when we were in school."
She kept making exclamations as they walked.
"Although this street is more spacious now, why do I feel like something's missing?"
Chen Fan knew what was missing and reminded her with a smile.
"The street vendors who used to set up stalls along the road."
Mo Siyu's eyes lit up slightly.
"That's right."
"Back when we were in school, this street was very narrow and dilapidated, but there were small vendors and peddlers setting up stalls everywhere on both sides of the street. You could buy whatever you wanted to eat."
"Especially at noon and after school in the afternoon, this street was absolutely packed shoulder to shoulder, bustling with noise and excitement."
Mo Siyu clicked her tongue a couple of times, then looked around the street, front and back.
"Now, although the buildings have changed and the street has been widened and renewed, it doesn't have that lively feeling from before."
Chen Fan quipped, "If the leaders above knew about your complaints, they'd be so angry they'd spit blood."
"Don't worry. School hasn't started yet, so it looks a bit deserted here."
"Also, those small vendors who used to set up stalls haven't left. See those shops in front? They've all rented street-side properties to open stores."
Mo Siyu stubbornly said, "Renting street-side properties to open stores costs money. Before, they only needed to pay a small stall fee each month to set up here. Now they have to pay a large sum of rent for the shop every month."
Chen Fan looked at her helplessly: "Sister, let's not worry about these small merchants."
"Their monthly earnings from setting up stalls here are equivalent to several months' salary of a white-collar worker."
"Although it's all hard-earned money, if they work hard for a few years, starting early and finishing late, buying a house in their hometown is completely possible."
As he spoke, Chen Fan pointed to a shop in front.
"Remember that popular Little Mustache Beef Noodle shop from before? Their store is right there now."
As they passed by, Mo Siyu curiously looked inside.
Chen Fan then pointed to a white BMW parked at the entrance.
"See that? Maybe that car is what they bought."
Mo Siyu muttered, "Actually, I still don't understand why back then, among so many noodle sellers, only Little Mustache's beef noodles were so fragrant and delicious."
"At that time, their business was simply much better than others."
"Do you know the reason?"
Chen Fan grinned, "Actually, I can pretty much guess."
Mo Siyu immediately became interested: "Is their recipe different from others?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "What recipe do you need to buy beef noodles?"
"I think he probably put poppy seeds in the marinade."
Mo Siyu suddenly widened her eyes.
"You... you're not joking?"
"I'm guessing, but it should be pretty close."
Mo Siyu was confused: "Isn't that illegal?"
"He wasn't the only one doing this in those few years, and the law only explicitly prohibited it in recent years."
As they walked, Mo Siyu seemed to see something and suddenly her eyes lit up. She pulled Chen Fan into a McDonald's in front.
"Let's eat here."
They went up to the second floor, and Mo Siyu found a window seat.
Chen Fan asked puzzledly, "Are you sure you want to eat McDonald's?"
"You really don't remember?" Mo Siyu looked at Chen Fan with a smile.
"Remember what?"
Mo Siyu immediately put on a disappointed and aggrieved expression.
"It's heartbreaking."
Mo Siyu looked at Chen Fan and explained slowly.
"Back then, someone changed dormitories and was moving things alone, looking pitifully tired. In the end, Xu Qiuci and I couldn't bear to watch and helped move the luggage."
"Afterwards, you treated us to a meal."
Chen Fan's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I remember now. At that time, you said you wanted to eat Sichuan cuisine. It was Qiuci who said she wanted to eat McDonald's."
Mo Siyu clicked her tongue.
"Listen to that. Qiuci. Calling her so intimately."
Chen Fan coughed dryly and changed the subject.
"I didn't expect you to still remember this."
Mo Siyu looked out the window, across the street was the Yunhai University campus.
"Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, we've all been graduated for several years."
She then turned back to look at Chen Fan with a playful smile.
"Who would have thought that the seemingly naive junior from back then would, in the blink of an eye, soon become my boss?"
