MY WIFE IS A BEAUTIFUL CEO

Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Suddenly, while they crossed the road, Lin Ruoxi felt a scorching hot hand grab hers.

It was rough, big, warm, and hard, causing Lin Ruoxi's heartbeat to quicken.

Turning her head to look at Yang Chen, she found him winking at him.

"Be careful when you cross the road."

"This is a pedestrian crossing." Lin Ruoxi wasn't used to this, but she didn't struggle free either.

"Holding hands is a must on dates." Yang Chen laughed and said.

Lin Ruoxi pursed her lips, then silently looked down at the gravel.

Holding hands, they entered Starbucks. Lin Ruoxi curiously looked at her surroundings, for she had never entered Starbucks before. At the counter, she ordered a slice strawberry cake and hot mocha, while Yang Chen ordered an American iced coffee and two slices of chocolate cake.

As there weren't many customers at this time, their orders were quickly served. The two took their coffee and cakes to a table close to the window, sat there looking at the street outside, and begun to eat.

The coffee shop played a melodious flute version of Canon in D, and its gentle rhythm made one easily relax.

Lin Ruoxi ate the strawberry cake incredibly slowly, nibbling it bit by bit. She looked at the furnishings of the coffee shop, then asked Yang Chen, "Do you know how Starbucks was born?"

Yang Chen was in the middle of scooping a large chunk out of the cake, "I don't, is there anything special about it?"

"I've read the biography of Starbucks' founder Mr. Howard Schultz, and there was the story of him before he founded Starbucks." Lin Ruoxi slowly narrated, "When Mr. Schultz was a child, his father lost his job, and the family was poor. So as to make his father happy, when Christmas came, he stole a tin of coffee beans from a shop and gave it to his father. His father was very happy then, but as the shop owner ended up visiting them to demand payment, Mr. Schultz received a beating. After that, the relationship between him and his father became strained......"

Yang Chen put down his spoon. Seeing her expression of deep thought, he believed that she might be thinking of her own family, and that crazy dad of hers, so he couldn't help but listen carefully.

"Mr. Schultz then swore that he would buy the best coffee in the world when he becomes rich, to prove himself to his father. Therefore, he kept working hard to learn, and during their most difficult times, he used his skills in American Football to gain a scholarship. He attended college, then got into a famous company, and got a high paying job that got him over seventy thousand dollars a month.

After his success, he bought the highest quality of Brazilian coffee beans and gave it to his father, and told his father that this was for the beating he received for that tin of coffee beans all those years ago, and for him to prove himself. His father then replied, 'You did so much, just for such an insignificant matter?' Mr. Schultz was incredibly angered, he then became estranged with his father, and even told others that his father was dead......

Even when his father died, Mr. Schultz had continued to reject his family's request for him to visit his late father in the name of work. One day, when he was going through his father's things, he found that the tin of coffee beans which he stole all those years ago had been kept by his father, his father had always kept the tin, and had always cherished those memories.

At that moment, he regretted his actions and was in sorrow, because he read the words on the crumpled letter in the tin. On it, the father of Mr. Schultz wrote his biggest dream, which was to own a warm coffee shop, so he could grind coffee beans for his wife and children. Unfortunately, he was incapable, and couldn't fulfill this wish. Other than beating his child, he couldn't think of any way to make his presence as a father be known to his child......
