Chapter 67: Don’t You Know That I’m His Stepmother?

Lu Bei heard her orders. He obediently went to the storeroom to get a mop and did his work without any complaints. The other wives looked at each other and one could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.

The effect of seeing it in real life was greater than looking at a photo. They once again lamented that Xiang Xiaoyuan was capable enough to subdue the difficult Lu Bei.

They did not know what was going on between Lu Bei and Xiang Xiaoyuan. After adding Xiang Xiaoyuan’s Wechat with an amiable attitude, they added her to their Wechat group, indicating that they would definitely call her if there were any activities in the future.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was satisfied and enthusiastically sent them to the door. Only when their figures disappeared around the corner did she reluctantly withdraw her gaze.

On the first day of opening, the convenience store was doing very well. Almost everyone from the villa district had come. If it were not for Wei Zihang and Lu Bei’s help today, Xiang Xiaoyuan and Xu Xiyao would have been exhausted long ago.

Therefore, Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at Lu Bei and Wei Zihang with a much more “kind” gaze. As night fell, the number of customers in the convenience store began to decrease. Xiang Xiaoyuan asked Xu Xiyao to tally up today’s sales. When she was counting the money, Wei Zihang and Lu Bei were tidying up the shelves in the distance. From time to time, they would glance at the cash register.

Xiang Xiaoyuan knew that opening a convenience store at the front of the residential area would definitely earn her money, but after checking the first day’s sales, she was still shocked. This number had seriously exceeded her expectations. Thinking of this, she waved her hand and said, “Close the door. To celebrate the auspicious opening of the first day, I’ll treat you to delicious food.”

Yuan Wei Convenience Store was not located in the bustling downtown area. Its main target was still the residents of the villa area. After dinner, the number of customers in the convenience store gradually decreased. That was why Xiang Xiaoyuan decided to close the store. Otherwise, with her money-mindedness, she would never close the store when there were customers.

Wei Zihang had been busy for the whole day. He was so tired that he could barely lift his arms. When he heard Xiang Xiaoyuan’s words, he said weakly, “I want to eat a big meal, stepmother. I won’t agree if it’s not a big meal.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan glanced at him, and Lu Bei’s gaze fell on him. The two of them did not speak, but the pressure in their eyes was enough to make Wei Zihang change his words obediently. “Aunty, I’m hungry.”

Xu Xiyao lowered his head and tidied up the cash register. He put the notes away and said, “Boss, you guys go eat. I’ll stay behind to look after the shop.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan waved her hand. “Let’s go together. Everyone is quite tired today. The night shift is canceled. After we finish eating, we’ll go straight back to rest. We’ll come back tomorrow.”

Xu Xiyao could not refuse. Xiang Xiaoyuan rubbed her hands. She was in a good mood today, so she went back to the villa and drove a car to pick them up.

But who was sitting in the passenger seat?

Wei Zihang looked around. He quickly opened the back door and got in. Lu Bei glared at him through the window and opened the back door to get in.

Xiang Xiaoyuan opened the driver’s window and waved at Xu Xiyao, who was standing still. “Xu Xiyao, you sit in the front. It looks weird to have three boys sitting in the back seat.”

Xu Xiyao hesitated for a moment, then walked around the front of the car and opened the door of the passenger seat. He quietly fastened his seatbelt.

Wei Zihang swore that today was the day he had worked the most since he was young. Sitting in the car with the air conditioner on, he felt that he had finally come back to life. He had also returned to his original lively personality. He leaned against the passenger seat, “Xu Xiyao, you haven’t answered my previous question. Why did you come to work at Brother Bei’s stepmother’s shop?”

Lu Bei gave him a kick from behind. “Aren’t you tired? You talk so much nonsense.”

Wei Zihang was completely unaware. “I’m tired, but I’m curious.”

Xu Xiyao’s expression was the same as usual. “To earn money.”

Wei Zihang blinked. “Are you short of money? That shouldn’t be. You get a scholarship every year.”

Previously, it was said that half of the students in Lu Bei’s school were brought in by their parents with money, and the other half was brought in by their outstanding academic performance. The school had waived their tuition fees, and Xu Xiyao belonged to the latter.

Xu Xiyao nodded. “Yes, I’m short of money.”

Seeing that Wei Zihang still unaware and wanted to ask more questions, Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei said in unison, “Wei Zihang, shut up. You’re so noisy!”

Wei Zihang: “…”

He felt very wronged.

“I was just asking casually. My voice wasn’t loud. Why did the two of you say that I’m noisy?”

Lu Bei’s mouth was vicious as he ridiculed, “You don’t know that you sound like a duck?”

Wei Zihang’s eyes widened. His anger at being called an outsider by Lu Bei yesterday had not completely dissipated. Now that his voice was insulted, he muttered, “Then you’re an idiot because I treat you like a brother.”

Lu Bei clenched his fist. “Are you looking for a beating?”

Wei Zihang shrank to the side and stretched his neck towards the driver’s seat, shouting, “Aunty, your son is about to hit someone. Hurry up and control him.”
