Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1535: No Such Thing as a Wayward Son Turning Good Is Worth More Than Gold

Chapter 1535: Chapter 1535: No Such Thing as a Wayward Son Turning Good Is Worth More Than Gold

They’re all just talking without experiencing it themselves; they have good luck and were born into good families. If they were in her shoes, they’d be living worse than her.

What kind of noodle shop is this? Any money earned ultimately fills the pockets of Old Lady Lu. She’s nothing but a complete slave...

Yet, all these twisted thoughts have somehow vanished, and she feels quite remorseful for her foolishness, ignorance, and unwarranted resentment.

She’s not someone who’s ungrateful.

But at this very moment, she’s empty-handed, penniless, with only the beef noodles recipe taught by her mother.

In the future, she would find a way to repay them.

Li Gufen secretly made up her mind.

Then, she seemed to have shed a burden, and her courage grew significantly. Moreover, she realized that the children before her were good kids, genuinely wanting to help her escape from the Lu family’s den of wolves.

She didn’t care what kind of storm awaited her because with Lu Hao and Gu Qiaoqiao present, the Lu family wouldn’t dare act recklessly.

Moreover, Li Gufen finally figured out that she’s only thirty years old this year, with half her life still ahead; there’s no need to ruin herself over those people. From now on, she would live the life she wants to.

No one can stop her!

Li Gufen spoke with a brisk tone, "You guys must be starving, I’ll cook you some noodles. Today’s noodles were prepared by Xiao Hao; he’s strong, so the noodles should be even more chewy. Have some tea and I’ll be quick."

"Sister Li, let me help you," Gu Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"No need, no need, I work quickly. Just wait..."

With that, Sister Li swiftly walked into the clean little kitchen, placed the sliced beef, chopped green onions, and soaked dry coriander on a plate, and then started rolling out the noodles nimbly.

Nearby was a pot of beef bone soup with added spices, and she had just stirred up the flame, soon enough the fragrance wafted out.

This beef noodle dish was indeed unique.

The noodles were chewy and not too thick or thin, as if pressed out by a machine.

The slices of beef were spiced, emitting a unique sauce aroma.

The soup was beef bone broth, probably with some medicinal herbs added; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so fragrant.

The combination of these three elements destined Sister Li’s beef noodles to be an exquisite delicacy.

When such aromas drifted out, this group only realized how hungry they were.

Though they had only met a few times, nobody treated themselves like guests. In the future, they might be in a partnership.

Moreover, they could only be partners.

Running a restaurant can involve hiring chefs, which is an employment relationship since popular dishes can be made by anyone who learns seriously and has some talent.

But Sister Li’s beef noodles, though simply named, had an extraordinary taste that was nearly unique.

At least, neither Gu Qiaoqiao nor Chu Chengfeng had tasted another beef noodle dish like it.

Thus, Sister Li’s secret recipe became valuable.

This was also why Chu Chengfeng had never planned to hire Sister Li as a chef from the start.

Even though Sister Li wasn’t very aware of the value of her own skills.

And even without Lu Hao in the picture, Chu Chengfeng wouldn’t cheat Sister Li; he wouldn’t do something like that.

As long as Sister Li agreed, she would invest by contributing her skills, and her status would also be significant.

Of course, there were many follow-up matters to discuss slowly.

But at this moment, none of these were troubling them.

Since the future would be a partnership, Chu Chengfeng became more relaxed.

He entered the kitchen, saw that his and Brother Li San’s beef noodle bowls were large servings, and naturally felt happy.

So, he cheerfully took on the role of a waiter.

The noodle soup was savoury without being greasy, the noodles chewy, making the dining experience naturally delightful.

Gu Qiaoqiao was worried that halfway through, Lu Hao’s brother might come, considering Sister Li was about to divorce him, surely needing to talk it over face-to-face. Or Old Lady might come to her senses, feeling cheated, and wreak havoc on Lu Hao for revenge against Sister Li.

They wouldn’t have peace while eating if that were the case.

However, after they finished the beef noodles and drank Li Gufen’s specially prepared fragrant tea, Lu Hao opened the noodle shop door right on cue, followed by a short man, about thirty-five years old.

He looked quite like Lu Hao.

But his gestures and behavior were entirely different.

His gaze was frivolous, sneakily surveying, and when he saw Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen, his eyes seemed glued to them.

Gu Qiaoqiao had seen this man in a dream, and upon seeing him in reality, couldn’t help but lament Li Gufen’s fate.

A lazy, shabby man like this cheating is really unbelievable.

At this moment, hearing Lu Hao’s slight cold snort, the man seemed scared of Lu Hao and quickly lowered his head.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Mu Xinxin, whose expression seemed to carry some helplessness.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt Mu Xinxin’s future wouldn’t be smooth either.

It wasn’t about being snobbish, Lu Hao and Mu Xinxin were meant for each other by nature, but Lu Hao’s family truly didn’t match Mu Xinxin.

Gu Qiaoqiao felt a considerable part of the responsibility.

Without her being reborn, Mu Xinxin and Lu Hao wouldn’t have met.

And these troubles naturally wouldn’t exist.

It’s imaginable, if Lu Hao and Mu Xinxin really married, would this family cling onto them like an unwanted parasite?

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Lu Hao, seeing a trace of exhaustion on his tightly furrowed brow, evidently, this past hour hadn’t been easy for him.

But, tough times are better than the misfortune that’s yet to come.

He’d be far worse off than he is now.

Gu Qiaoqiao gathered her thoughts because Lu Hao began to speak...

What followed was surprisingly smooth. Clearly, before coming here, Lu Hao had arranged everything; it wasn’t about reconciliation or persuasion, as Zao Hua’s pregnancy made the matter straightforward.

Lu Hao’s brother agreed to the divorce without any objections.

The Lu family was lazy, relying solely on Lu Hao’s allowance and Sister Li’s noodle shop for survival, so while not wealthy, life wasn’t too bad.

But they hadn’t divided assets, naturally having no family fortune.

So, besides her clothes, Sister Li left almost penniless.

Yet, Lu Hao still handed over half of his monthly allowance to Sister Li, keeping the remainder for their travel expenses.

This was a helpless situation.

As for the Zao Hua Gu Qiaoqiao saw in her dream, she didn’t seem pregnant; Gu Qiaoqiao estimated, by that time the baby was already born, but Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t seen the child at the Lu family, thus couldn’t determine what ultimately happened to the baby.
