The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Your Wife Can Go Crazy, But I Can’t Fight Back?

Apologize?

Explain?

Xue Can swallowed his last bite of food, feeling that this was an exceptionally tricky situation.

Shen Lu was not some little girl who was easy to fool. She had her own opinions and judgment and wouldn’t be easily tricked by a few lies.

The excuse he’d come up with yesterday clearly hadn’t worked. Didn’t he see how Shen Lu was completely ignoring him today?

Before leaving, Xue Can gave Shen Lu a deep look, but in the end, he left without saying a word.

Today, Bai Lei was the only one who came to buy things. He wasn’t wearing a mask and showed his face openly.

As he brushed past Xue Can, his gaze flickered toward him.

Although Bai Lei was a Superpower User, he had no intention of joining the military. After graduation, he would take over his family’s business, and the top-ranking Mercenary Corps in the Imperial City were unavoidable partners for every major family.

The Gale Mercenary Corps was one of the top five mercenary corps in the Imperial City, and Bai Lei had seen Xue Can’s file, which was why he recognized him.

Bai Lei had sent people to investigate Shen Lu’s movements over the past few days. He discovered that she and Xue Can had a very close relationship. ’Could it really be like what others were saying—that Xue Can was pursuing Shen Lu, providing money and supplies for her to run the stall?’

Bai Lei didn’t really believe it.

Shen Lu was always taking care of Fu Cheng, bringing him along whenever she set up her stall. It was impossible for Xue Can not to know about her relationship with Fu Cheng. ’What man could tolerate the woman he likes being inseparable from another man?’

’If such a man existed, he had to be out of his mind.’

Therefore, Bai Lei felt their relationship was more likely a partnership.

That would make everything make sense.

’Maybe Shen Lu had been secretly practicing her cooking skills, intentionally hiding them, and planning to catch his sister off guard at some point.’

’But no one expected the sudden fiasco about the real and fake young lady. Shen Lu was kicked out of the Shen Family and, by some coincidence, connected with Xue Can. One was responsible for running the stall, the other for providing the ingredients.’

Bai Lei snorted smugly. ’Leave it to me to figure it out.’

He had finally unraveled the mystery surrounding Shen Lu.

When it was his turn, the young man handed over a huge lunch box and a water bottle, ordering "the works" as usual.

"Shen Lu, take this."

As he was leaving, Bai Lei put down a box.

Shen Lu looked up. "What’s this?"

"A Light Brain. I’ve already put my contact information in it."

"Thanks, but I don’t need it."

A Light Brain wasn’t prohibitively expensive, and Shen Lu could afford one now. She just didn’t have a need for communication at the moment and didn’t want to waste the money.

Bai Lei turned around. "Didn’t my sister break one of your Light Brains a few years ago? Just consider this her way of paying you back. Bye."

The young man walked off so quickly that he vanished in the blink of an eye. Shen Lu had no chance of catching him.

Shen Lu was speechless, but it was true that Bai Wanwan had broken the original owner’s Light Brain.

’It’s fine to accept it,’ she thought. ’Worst case, I just won’t charge the Bai Family Siblings the next time they come to buy food.’

Just as Shen Lu was busy and covered in sweat, she suddenly heard the system notification.
