Chapter 85: The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife

 Chapter 85: He's Here, He's Here



Bai Lu displayed a fake smile, retracing her words, "The candied chestnuts in our shop taste bad, not easy to sell."



Chen Chunli was momentarily taken aback by her own words.



If she had known that candied chestnuts were so profitable, she wouldn't have spoken like this. It was all because of Chen Dafu, that useless guy, who couldn't sell chestnuts and disrupted her money-making plans.



Now, if she wanted to collaborate and make money again, Bai Lu's attitude was tough. Apologizing was no longer an option.



Chen Chunli cleared her throat, adopting a more friendly and humble tone compared to before, "I might have been too harsh earlier. I didn't mean anything by it. I have a bit of a quick temper, but it doesn't mean I have issues with anyone."



"You see, your husband Xiao Cheng and my husband Wang Hao have been good friends for many years. We are all on the same side. I won't have problems with my own people."



"As you know, being pregnant can make one impulsive and irritable. Sometimes, I can't control myself and say things that are not pleasant. Just ignore it; it's just some nonsense. No need to remember..."



Bailu smiled, "But I have a good memory, and I remember."



Chen Chunli: "..."



She accidentally squeezed the orange too hard.



The orange's juicy flesh splashed all over her face.



Xiao Wei quickly moved to Bai Lu's side, bringing a chair along. For the first time, a disdainful expression appeared on his cold little face.



After the disdain, there was a small expression of satisfaction.



Facing people like Chen Chunli, Bailu's straightforward approach was the right choice. Speaking kindly would only invite bullying.



If Big Brother were here, Chen Chunli wouldn't dare to make a sound. She would wait until he went to work.



Chen Chunli's fruit basket was also sent, explanations were given, but Bailu still acted as if nothing could change her mind. After enduring her temper for a while, Chen Chunli couldn't take it anymore.



"Bai Lu, people say that more friends mean more paths. Is it interesting to have conflicts with me? I already said I didn't mean what I said that day, and I've apologized with the fruit basket. How long are you going to keep this up? Doing business with such a petty and narrow-minded person, is it worth it?"



Bai Lu still smiled, "It's interesting."



Chen Chunli was left speechless.



Bai Lu continued, "You can take the fruits."



"Yes, we have a lot of fruits at home," Xiaowei agreed, pointing to a corner, "A sack full."



Chen Chunli: "..."



Her thick-skinned pride couldn't take it anymore.



The anger had reached its limit, and there was no need to endure it any longer.



She picked up her fruit basket and left. Chen Chunli didn't look back, muttering curses as she walked away.



Only when she completely disappeared from view did the onlooking neighbors disperse from the wall.



Everyone went back to their homes, each reporting the latest news.



# A pregnant woman came to Bai Lu's house in person, wanting to discuss candied chestnut cooperation. Her identity was said to be related to the brother of the bully, Xiao Cheng. Bai Lu didn't give her any face and refused cooperation. The pregnant woman left in anger, taking the fruit basket with her.


# Latest news: The pregnant woman had visited Bai Lu before, had a big argument, offended Bai Lu, swore never to come to Bai Lu's house again, but later found out that candied chestnuts were profitable, so shamelessly came back to discuss cooperation.


# The most recent and reliable news: The pregnant woman pretended to faint at Bai Lu's doorstep. Bai Lu offered to take her to the hospital, and she immediately woke up. The purpose was just to discuss cooperation, but since Bai Lu didn't agree, she left in anger, taking the fruit basket with her.


# Breaking news! Breaking news! Bai Lu has closed the door and gone home to cook!


The new house of Aunt Wu's family was completed today, with the third-floor roof being cemented for sealing.



After a group of men finished their work, they heard the aunts and uncles gossiping and spreading rumors.



Some faces turned dark, some dared not speak, and some turned as red as if they had been slapped.



The once joyful atmosphere, after completing the roof, ready for a few days of good rest before painting and decorating the interior, suddenly froze and fell silent like stagnant water.



One by one, they didn't dare to say much, quietly leaving.



Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dashuang also left.



Even if Wang Hao wasn't explicitly mentioned, his face still felt hot, knowing that the pregnant woman who pretended to faint was none other than Chen Chunli.



In order to resume cooperation, he even used his usual coercive methods on Bai Lu.



Today, he finally managed to strike up a conversation with Xiao Cheng, and their relationship had slightly eased. However, with Chen Chunli causing a scene, their relationship plummeted again. He didn't have the face to talk to Xiao Cheng now.



Clearly, Xiao Cheng also had no intention of talking to him. He walked straight home, exuding a cold and indifferent aura.



The door wasn't locked; it opened with a push.



Xiao Wei had just finished washing the vegetables and was about to take them back to Bai Lu to cook. Hearing the door opening, he subconsciously turned around.



Upon seeing Xiao Cheng, he was almost scared out of his wits. Without saying a word, he quickly ran back to the kitchen to find Bai Lu.



"Big Brother's expression is terrifying."



Bai Lu's heart skipped a beat, feeling guilty as if the sword of Damocles was hanging over her head. The instinctive reaction was that her secret had been exposed.



Who told Xiao Cheng?



Wasn't he laying bricks at Aunt Wu's house? Who told him? Who had seen her recently?



Who had seen her belly? Who knew she was pregnant? Who suspected her?



Who reported her?



"Bai Lu."



A low and cold voice interrupted all the wild guesses. Bai Lu tried to tidy up her slightly stiff smile, turned around, and her smile froze again at the man's expression.



"What... what's wrong?"



Bai Lu took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her state, and resumed her normal smile, "You finished work so early today. I haven't cooked yet. Your pants seem to have touched the cement paste. Do you want to go back and change? After changing, have some fruit and tea. Dinner will be ready soon."



He loved cleanliness so much; he would definitely go back to change, right? He would, right? He would!



Not only did he not go back, but he also walked towards her.



Bai Lu wanted to run.



But in front was him, and behind was the stove. On the left was the cupboard, on the right was the woodpile opposite the stove.



Nowhere to escape, nowhere to retreat.



In her hand was the spatula. Maybe, just maybe, it could block the big guy's attack a little?



Xiao Cheng walked up to Bai Lu, his gaze sweeping over her like a breeze. He slowly raised his hand.



Xiao Wei stood rigidly by the cupboard, slowly moving, ready to intervene.



But what he saw was the big brother with an extremely dark face, raising his hand and reaching for the top of Bai Lu's head...



Taking a half-blossomed white little bone flower.



Holding it in his hand, he then stared at Bai Lu, who was clearly stunned, and asked, "Did Chen Chunli come again?"



Bai Lu nodded in a daze, the big spatula behind her back already half exposed.



Honestly answering, "She brought a fruit basket, wanting to continue our cooperation. I didn't agree, so she left with the fruit basket... there's no hiding anything."



Xiao Cheng's terrifying face finally began to gradually return to normal. He reached out and touched her head.



"Good job."



Bai Lu's scalp tingled, her brain short-circuited, and she instinctively replied, "It's only good if everyone is well."
