Chapter 398 Xiao Hua gets threatened
Yu Dong didn't cope well with the sudden change in questions but she still took a deep breath and looked at Song Yixu before putting her chopsticks down as she said, " I am here to ask for a little favour from you."
" Oh come on, you are one of my dear friends, I haven't forgotten how you helped me by reeling in more customers than before, if not for your newly introduced wine and dishes, my restaurant would have a hard time flourishing," said Song Yixu as she waved her hand, not at all bothered by Yu Dong's formal speech. " There is no such thing as favours between us if so, I would be drowning in debts that I owe you, so what is it?"
This was what Yu Dong's aim was when she introduced those new dishes in Song Yixu's restaurant, she knew that if she wanted to take something, she has to give something first in return, so she has always been fairly cordial with Song Yixu given that she was never interested in opening a restaurant of her own anyway. " There is this thing … I am looking for a new shopfront on the front lane, it's just that I cannot find one at the moment. The lane looks occupied and no one is willing to rent out their houses or shops I have asked around already, that is why I came to you, if you can introduce me to some prospective sellers then I will be thankful for your help"
Song Yixu's eyes widened as she looked at Yu Dong. "My dear Dong Dong, just what kind of life are you living? I just came to the inauguration of your bar and now you are opening another shop? Are you really moving too fast or is it just me who hasn't recovered from the last inauguration party yet?"
Yu Dong smiled at Song Yixu's teasing as she answered, "It's not that you haven't recovered from the last party Lady Song, I might really be moving a bit too fast but," she scratched the back of her head and sheepishly added, " But I am going to be a mother to another child soon, it would be quite careless of me if I do not save and earn money properly for the future for my children ."
" Well, I do have to admit that you are quite a caring mother," said Song Yixu but she agreed with Yu Dong, after all, there were many parents who would have children without caring about how they were going to take care of the child and when responsibilities fall on them one after another, they would sell this thing or that and when there was nothing left for them to sell, they would just go ahead and sell their children.
Compared to them Yu Dong was loads better, at least she was properly thinking and planning for her children.
" But at present, I too haven't heard of anyone wanting to sell their shops or house," said Song Yixu causing Yu Dong's face to fall.
" Is that so?" Yu Dong was fairly disappointed after listening to Song Yixu's answer, she thought that even if she could not find a shop, Song Yixu would be able to help her because compared to her, Song Yixu had a lot of contacts.
Song Yixu was a bit amused by the drooping expression of Yu Dong and thought carefully before answering, " Well, it is not that I cannot help you completely there is this house on the front lane that has been closed for a while, if you can pursue the master of that house to sell the house to you, then maybe you will be able to get a new shopfront for yourself."
"Really?" This time Yu Dong's ears perked up as she looked at Song Yixu and blinked her eyes. " Are you sure that they will be willing to sell their house to me?"
" I can't be sure, that house holds a different more significant value to them after all it was once their maternal house and they haven't agreed to sell it to anyone," said Song Yixu as she placed her hands on the table and clasped them before solemnly looking at Yu Dong who couldn't help but say, " If they never agreed to sell it to anyone, why will they sell it to me?"
Song Yixu smiled as she tilted her head and looked out of the window of the VIP room and said, " It all comes down to what's offered to them, and I am certain that you will be able to fulfil that one request that they have."

"Is that what lady Song told you?" asked Fang Chi while sitting next to Yu Dong and holding a glass of milk while Yu Dong told a children's story to him.
" Yup, she said that she will arrange a meeting with the owner of that house with me in a few days, now shhh, I am telling the story to my son, stop disturbing us," she lightly chided Fang Chi as she continued to tell the old stories that were pretty famous in her time, tonight she was reading the story of Momotaro, a story that her brothers like to listen to most when they were young.
Fang Chi laughed softly as he drank a sip of warm water and felt his body heat up. " You really think that he can listen to you? After all, he is just two months old in my belly, I don't think he can even understand what you are saying to him at the moment."
Yu Dong glared at him as she finished telling the story and placed her hand on Fang Chi's belly before caressing it lightly, " Are you suspecting my genes? Just look at little bun. He is so smart, of course, my second child will be just as smart as him."
A shiver danced down Fang Chi's spine as he shivered, " You know what, it be will be nice if he isn't as smart as little bun, I can't run after him as Brother Mi does."
" And you wanted a daughter, they are much naughtier than mers——"
Her words were cut off when a drunken shout echoed outside, " Xiao Hua! Why won't you take me in? I swear if you do not take me as your wife, I will cut my wrist and write your name as my murderer here and now!"
The sound of scuffle resonated behind their house before Xiao Hua's incensed scream echoed in the clearing, " I am telling you to get lost! Who do you think you are blackmailing? Do I look like someone who will just accept you because you threaten me? Who are you threatening if you don't get lost, I will kill you myself you perverted bitch!"
