The trip to Laifu Inn ended up in vain.

When Helian Jing saw how sad Yaoyao was, he tried to console her by saying, “Yaoyao, don’t be worried, you still have me!”

Ye Jiayao smiled bitterly. “Don’t mind me. It’s not really a big deal.”

Of course, every owner would want to earn some big buck. Shopkeeper Li just had been too kind to her so she had been spoiled. She wasn’t used to working for someone who’s so strict so she was feeling out of sorts.

“Oh, right. Little Jing, I have to return this to you. I really cannot accept it,” Ye Jiayao said, handing the piece of jade to Little Jing.

Helian Jing jumped away. “Yaoyao, how can I take back the thing I already gave? What I will take back are the words I said that day. We’re still brothers, right?”

Seeing Little Jing flee from the jade, Ye Jiayao couldn’t help but laugh. Well, it looked like she was stuck with this jade.

The next day, Little Yang came over during lunch break, saying that Li Erniang has gone to ask Shopkeeper Li and he said that he signed a secrecy pact. Unless the new owner wishes to show himself, he was not allowed to say anything.

In the evening, Helian Jing came again. He said that he went to the constable to look for the restaurant’s modification document but it was password protected and he was unable to take a look. He reckoned that this person was in a high position to be able to pull this off.

Ye Jiayao’s heart was cramping from the depression. Who is this greedy rat?

“Yaoyao, tomorrow is mid-autumn, let’s go and admire the full moon! We can also go see the lanterns if you’d like,” Little Jing suggested.

Ye Jiayao shook her head. It has been a few days since Chunyu came to see her so she figured that he might be too busy. Since tomorrow is a celebration, it might be his only chance to come see her. “No, I already promised Uncle and Auntie Jiang that I will spend mid-autumn with them.”

Helian Jing was disappointed but he said, “Then I’ll go with you.”

“What? No! Your grandmother is very old, each year passing is a year lost. You should keep her company,” she scolded.

He knew that what Yaoyao said made sense, but he still wanted to spend mid-autumn with her! He said discontentedly, “Alright. We’ll celebrate it together next time.”

Ye Jiayao smiled assuringly. “Sure.”

The mid-autumn festival is a day where families have a reunion at their respective homes. Therefore, there were only a few random customers in so the crew had a free afternoon. However, Manager Qian has made it clear that Ye Jiayao has to go back by the evening to prepare supper to send over to Zui Chun Lou for Liu Yiyi.

There was also a repeated reminder to collect the money.

Once again, Ye Jiayao cursed Liu Yiyi out. It was rare to get a holiday and this darn woman has to torture her like that.

In her free time, Ye Jiayao went out to buy some presents for the Jiang family as a way to thank them for taking care of her.

She got Uncle Jiang a bottle of top-grade Zhu Ye Qing because it was his favorite wine. For Jiang Yue, she bought a jade bangle and pair of pearl earrings.

Ye Jiayao was in the fabric shop to pick out a cloth for Auntie Jiang when she heard someone behind her say, “I am in a hurry to wear this dress, get it done quickly. I don’t want any delay in this.”
