Divorced and Determined: The CEO's Ex-Wife Fights for Love-Chapter 135

Chapter 135 The Customers Followed the Wrong Car! But You’re Different—You’re a Rich Lady!

There were quite a few traffic lights on Nanhua North Road, so Shen Muyan was driving in a stop-and-go manner. Little did she know that behind her, eight electric scooters and two small cars were closely following.

These customers were chatting in a group chat.

[Huh? Why is Boss Lu taking this road? It’s always jammed.].

[Doesn’t matter, just follow Boss Lu’s car—we’ll have good food!].

[I’m right on Nanhua North Road, requesting to join the convoy!].

[Kid, what kind of vehicle are you driving?].

[Luyuan 86!].

[Luyuan 86? Show me some speed!].

[Wait a sec—I, uh, I’m driving ‘Steamed Fish Head with Chopped Chili!’].

After waiting through several red lights, a long line of customers had already gathered behind Shen Muyan’s car!

Shen Muyan glanced in the rearview mirror and felt a bit strange. It seemed like… she was being followed by a group of people. Some of the electric scooters looked familiar—they had been following the same route as her.

She figured it might just be a coincidence since she had been driving straight without making any turns. So she didn’t pay it much mind. As soon as the light turned green, she stepped on the accelerator and drove off.

After passing two more intersections, she turned right. Another 1.4 kilometers straight ahead, and she would arrive at the Ourei Grand Hotel.

“???”

“What’s going on? Weren’t we heading to Sunshine Primary School? Why did she turn right?”

“Did Boss Lu get lost? Is he just driving randomly?”

“Impossible. Boss Lu isn’t new to this route. He wouldn’t get lost. He must be stopping to refuel.”

“Yeah, that’s very likely. His car is a hybrid—probably forgot to charge it last night.”

“Just keep following him. We need to buy breakfast and get to work—we’re running late.”

The group analyzed the situation in the chat and decided to keep following the car.

Until…

The car stopped in front of the Ourei Grand Hotel. A hotel valet saw Shen Muyan get out of the car. He was momentarily stunned but quickly walked over to take her keys.

“President Shen, new car? I’ll park it in the garage for you.”

“Wash it first.”

“Understood.”

Meanwhile, twenty-something electric scooters rushed to catch up, arriving at the entrance of the Ourei Hotel, along with five or six cars… and two ‘Steamed Fish Heads with Chopped Chili.’

The security guard was utterly confused.

“What are you guys doing here?”

A whole crowd like this? There was no way they were here to dine at the hotel.

Hearing the commotion, Shen Muyan and the valet turned around to look. Both of them were equally puzzled.

The security guard cautiously said, “President Shen, it seems like… these people all followed you here.”

Shen Muyan looked at them, frowning slightly. “You’ve been following me the whole way?”

The group of customers suddenly realized that the person in the car wasn’t Boss Lu. They were completely dumbfounded!

“Wait… it’s the boss’s wife?”

Last night at the night market, everyone had seen Lu Qin with this incredibly beautiful lady. Before, they had always wondered what kind of genes could produce such a stunningly cute daughter. The moment they saw the boss’s wife last night, they understood.

The crowd panicked. They had followed the wrong car! If Boss Lu wasn’t driving his car, he must have been riding his tricycle food cart. By now, he was probably already near the entrance of Sunshine Primary School.

Damn!

It felt like they had been lured away on purpose!

“We thought you were Boss Lu! We were following him to his food stand!”

Shen Muyan: “…”

“I knew something was off—the route was all wrong!”

“Damn! Who was the first one to start following? They led everyone astray!”

“It was that guy! The one with the nickname [So Handsome, People Want to Attack Me] in the group!”

A young man with acne, wearing a yellow helmet and riding an electric scooter, looked nervous and stayed silent.

“I don’t know if he’s handsome, but getting beaten up seems inevitable!”

“Enough talking! We need to get to Sunshine Primary School!”

…

Reminded of their mistake, more than thirty people hastily turned their vehicles around and rushed off in the other direction. The security guard and the valet exchanged bewildered glances.

What exactly just happened?

Who was the real boss?

And who was President Shen’s husband?

Such explosive gossip!

They sneaked a glance at the goddess-like President Shen, but she maintained her cold and indifferent expression, saying nothing as she turned and walked into the hotel.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Qin arrived at Sunshine Primary School on his tricycle food cart and found no early customers waiting. He thought it was a bit odd. But he didn’t dwell on it. As soon as he set up his stall, the residents from the nearby community rushed over to buy breakfast.

“Wow! I’m the first one here today—what good luck!”

“Weird, not many people today! First come, first served!”

“Yes! Finally, I don’t have to wait in line. I’ll have three portions of stir-fried noodles, two cups of mung bean soup, and two ice crystal cakes! Do you have crystal shrimp dumplings? I’ll take a serving!”

“Boss Lu, I’ll have three servings of fried rice noodles and three cups of mung bean soup! Is the mung bean soup hot? I prefer it cold.”

“Drink it hot in the morning—cold food is bad for your stomach. Health comes first so you can enjoy Boss Lu’s food for longer!”

“Boss Lu doesn’t sell cold drinks in the morning? He’s looking out for our health—such a good man!”

A few minutes later, a group of ‘lost sheep’ finally arrived, grumbling.

“Damn! Boss Lu, we followed your M7 all the way to the Ourei Grand Hotel! You should’ve told us you weren’t in the car!”

“Boss Lu, just so we’re clear—I have no interest in your stunning wife! I’m only interested in your food!”

“This was exhausting! Two servings of fried noodles and one mung bean soup—takeout! I’m late for work!”

Hearing the complaints, Lu Qin was momentarily stunned before realizing what had happened.

“Next time, just follow the notifications in the Penguin group,” he said with a smile.

Despite the small hiccup, his food stand remained busy, with a constant flow of customers and no idle moments.

Lu Qin’s food stand had already gained some fame in Jiangcheng, and he had a large group of loyal customers in the group chat. His only problem was running out of stock, never struggling to sell.

At 9:45 AM, Lu Qin packed up his stall and counted his earnings—16,455 yuan.

At noon, Zhao, the owner of a disposable tableware store, arrived in a small pickup truck to deliver food containers, an outdoor gas stove, and some miscellaneous ingredients. Together, they carried everything into the yard.

Assembling the gas stove was straightforward. Lu Qin and Zhao finished setting it up in twenty minutes. Zhao also brought over a large bag of coal. The left-side stove was for burning firewood, but these days, even in rural areas, most people used coal instead of wood—it wasn’t environmentally friendly to chop trees for fuel.

“This is the coal supplier’s contact. Just call when you need more, and they’ll deliver it to your door,” Zhao said, having thought of everything.

“Thanks. I’ll cook lunch—let’s have a simple meal together,” Lu Qin said and invited.

Zhao didn’t refuse, swallowing his saliva in anticipation. Twenty minutes later, Lu Qin served the dishes.

“I’ll help you bring them over,” Zhao said eagerly.

Lunch consisted of twice-cooked pork, imperial concubine chicken wings, and tomato scrambled eggs. All made with maxed-out cooking skills—fragrant and irresistible.

“Dig in, Zhao. No need to be polite,” Lu Qin said.

“Alright,” Zhao said, finishing three bowls of rice but hesitating to get a fourth, worried about seeming rude.

Lu Qin refilled his bowl with a smile.

“Eat as much as you want—it means you appreciate my cooking, and that makes me happy.”

Zhao took the bowl, praising, “Boss Lu, your cooking is unmatched. Your wife and daughter are truly lucky!”
