Chapter 717 - 717 718 The Mistresss Posture

Chapter 717: Chapter 718: The Mistress’s Posture Chapter 717: Chapter 718: The Mistress’s Posture If it wasn’t Chiang Xiao, then it was her fiancé!

The Brother Soldier who once made her own soul turn over helplessly!

Even though she had now set her sights on Hu Xibing, perhaps it was human nature to always remember what one couldn’t have, especially since she felt that shifting her focus was a reluctant move to begin with.

Of course, Meng Xinian’s qualifications were better than Hu Xibing’s.

If it weren’t for Chiang Xiao’s interference, would she need to shift her target?

Yu Chunyu stood there, staring resentfully at the phone, as if by doing so she could kill the person on the other end with her glare.

Once Hu Xibing hung up the phone, she immediately approached him and asked, “Brother Xi Bing, who was that on the phone?”

Hu Xibing had seen her as soon as she walked in, and it was precisely because of her arrival that he didn’t chat more with Chiang Xiao, quickly ending the call after jotting down the order and the instructions given.

Every time Yu Chunyu called him ‘Brother Xi Bing’, Hu Xibing felt a twinge in his teeth.

But he had already objected, and Yu Chunyu did as she pleased, not listening to him at all, and he truly had no way to deal with her.

In this period, Yu Chunyu had been coming to the tea shop almost daily to check in.

At first, she harassed him with conversation, nearly prying into every detail of his ancestors’ lives; honestly, Hu Xibing really had no experience dealing with such a girl and ended up divulging quite a bit in their talks.

Later, when he truly had enough, he would simply stay silent, no matter what she asked. After a few times, Yu Chunyu changed her tactics.

She stopped asking him things and instead started to help out with his work as soon as she arrived.

Sweeping, organizing, cheerfully greeting customers when they arrived.

Perhaps because she was indeed pretty, as well as a teacher, she was different from the average village girl, so the customers coming to buy tea were quite pleased to be served by her. There were even times when Hu Xibing, the owner, couldn’t get a word in edgewise.

Yu Chunyu had actually helped him secure several deals, collectively earning them a good ten or so yuan.

Because of this, she became even more enthusiastic.

Since she was often there, always donning the air of a lady of the house, the neighbors had really come to believe they were a couple.

“It’s nothing, just a friend.”

Hu Xibing knew about her conflict with Chiang Xiao and dared not admit outright that it was her.

“What friend? With the shop this busy, you still had to step away to help out? I just heard you mention Osmanthus Alley?”

“You heard wrong.”

“How could I have heard wrong? Could it be related to Chiang Xiao? She seems to have taken leave these past few days. How about this, if there’s a message for her, let me go and check it out, and see what’s going on with Chiang Xiao taking leave out of the blue.”

Hu Xibing wanted to say, even if Chiang Xiao has taken leave, what’s it to you? You’re not her teacher.

But Yu Chunyu had already guessed it had something to do with Chiang Xiao, and since he couldn’t hide it anymore, he said, “No need, it was Chiang Xiao who called, asking me to pass a few words to her family. It’s not urgent, I can go later.”

Upon realizing it wasn’t Meng Xinian, Yu Chunyu’s heart didn’t know whether to feel relieved or a bit disappointed.

“Ah, it’s her. Well, why don’t you go now? I can watch the shop for you.”

With the air of a lady of the house, Yu Chunyu startled Hu Xibing once again.

“No need, no need, Teacher Yu, I really wouldn’t dare to trouble you. You have lessons to prepare, homework to grade, you must be quite busy, right?”
