Chapter 1742: Fates Had Been Vastly Different

Despite the fact that the two of them had held the same position, their fates had been vastly different.
Ning Shu felt helpless. The fact that everything went smoothly for the reborn Bai Yiqiao could only be attributed to the protagonist’s halo. They even had enough money to bribe the government.
When Ning Shu came out of the medicine store, she ran into Li Gouzi on the street. Li Gouzi was dressed like a charlatan, even holding a folding fan. It looked very incongruous, like a monkey wearing human clothing.
The bastard was leaning out of a brothel’s front door. Ning Shu saw a purse hanging around his waist that seemed to have some weight to it.
It was no wonder that he hadn’t gone home recently. It was because he had money. Though it was a mystery how he even got the money.
Ning Shu lowered her head and walked past Li Gouzi, then reached out to snatch Li Gouzi’s purse. At the same time, a brothel girl pulled Li Gouzi into the building.
Li Gouzi smiled wretchedly and entered the building without realizing that his wallet had been stolen.
Ning Shu placed the purse into her basket and covered it with a cloth.
She narrowed her eyes while looking at the brothel, then turned back to the medicine store and grabbed some medicinal materials specifically for Li Gouzi.
Li Gouzi must not be let off so easily.
Ning Shu used Li Gouzi’s money to buy the medicine she’d use to deal with him.
After buying the medicine, Ning Shu went to the restaurant that Bai Yiqiao co-owned. It was called Lucky Restaurant and the decorations were very grand.
Ning Shu walked in and smelled a fragrant spicy scent. There were quite a few guests in the main hall of the restaurant, not to mention those in the private rooms upstairs.
A waiter came up to greet Ning Shu. “How can I help you?”
Ning Shu looked at the hanging bamboo menu. “Get me three portions of the barbecue and five portions of the vegetables. I want it packed to take with me.”
“Very well.”
Ning Shu wanted to taste the food of the restaurant Bai Yiqiao operated and while doing so, estimate the condition of this restaurant.
It looked like her business was doing pretty well.
No wonder Bai Yiqiao had been able to open another branch and still have enough money to donate food and clothing to the rebel army. Because she knew that the rebel army would overthrow the dynasty in the end, she invested in them early. Unexpectedly, she drew the attention of the rebel leader, the future emperor.
Of course, he couldn’t snatch his subject’s wife, but he was partial towards Bai Yiqiao.
Bai Yiqiao really had life’s cheat code.
Ning Shu was waiting for the barbecue to be ready when she heard Bai Yiqiao’s voice. “Chen Ermei?”
Ning Shu turned her head and saw Bai Yiqiao coming down the stairs. For a moment, Ning Shu was in a daze. She felt that Bai Yiqiao was truly good-looking.
“You came here for dinner?” Bai Yiqiao asked as she walked to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu nodded. “Yes, I’ve been hearing of this restaurant since a long time ago so I came to try it today and take back some food for my parents.”
Listening to Ning Shu’s words, Bai Yiqiao’s expression shone with self-satisfaction.
Bai Yiqiao came up with the idea of opening a restaurant because she had tasted the food of foreign nomads while living within a rich family in her past life. It had been served with various spices and powders and was both filling and delicious. In this life, she finally came up with the idea of opening a restaurant.
Chen Ermei didn’t even know that this restaurant belonged to her.
“Miss, the food you ordered.” The waiter brought the food over.
When Ning Shu was about to pay, Bai Yiqiao said, “Put it on my tab. Chen Ermei, just consider this as my treat.”
