BHBF Chapter 55.5

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 2) Chapter 55.5: The Bitter Heroine (67)

In the afternoon, when the two left the weaving factory, Guan Yang still had a look of apology on his face.

 

“If you hadn’t been with me, you wouldn’t have suffered all this.” Guan Yang did not look down on Shao Yingniang, but the people in the weaving factory today did not give Shao Yingniang a good look.

 

Shao Yingniang shook her head and said, “I don’t care about these. Thank you for today.”

 

Guan Yang looked at Shao Yingniang’s face without any grudges, and his face paused. Then his ears turned red and he said, “No… I didn’t help much.”

 

Shao Yingniang smiled and said, “I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.”

 

Guan Yang immediately said, “How can I let the lady pay for the meal? It should be me who pays.”

 

Shao Yingniang looked at him and said, “Why can’t a lady treat you?”

 

Guan Yang thought of what happened during the day, and fearing that Shao Yingniang would be angry, he quickly changed his words and said, “Yes, Madam, you can treat me.”

 

At night, Guan Yang sat at the dining table of the Shao family. There were people on both sides of him. Shao Yingniang sat diagonally opposite him, and he felt that she was so far away.

 

Guan Yang thought that the dinner treat meant that the two of them would eat alone in a restaurant. The dim lighting and elegant environment in the restaurant would definitely bring the two closer together.

 

At this moment, the exceptionally bright lights in the Shao family house, the noisy and cheerful voices of the children at the table, and bursts of white smoke rising from the table in front of him seemed to pull him directly from the ambiguous scene into the human world.

 

“I spent a whole day braising this braised pork trotter. The flavor is all infused into it. You must try it.” Shao Yu urged Guan Yang to taste the dish.

 

Guan Yang has not yet recovered from the regret of losing a date, but since Shao Yu said so, it would be immature of him to say nothing if he did not show any reaction.

 

Guan Yang lowered his head, looked at the braised pork trotter in front of him, stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece.

 

He didn’t have high expectations, but when the pig’s trotter entered his mouth, the salty and fragrant taste seemed to penetrate into his throat, and Guan Yang’s eyes suddenly lit up.

 

So delicious!

 

Guan Yang ate a piece and couldn’t help but pick up another one.

 

Food is the most soothing thing in the world. Guan Yang no longer had any regrets at this moment. He just savored the table full of food in front of him.

 

Occasionally, while picking up food, he would glance at Shao Yingniang who was sitting diagonally opposite him.

 

But from beginning to end, Shao Yingniang didn’t pay much attention to him, but just took care of her three children with a gentle face.

 

Seeing this, Guan Yang knew that the other party had no intention after all, and the slightest bit of fantasy in his heart gradually disappeared.

 

When he left Shao’s house, Guan Yang’s belly was so full that he could hardly walk. As he left, he kept saying to Shao Yu, “Uncle, your cooking skills are so good. Next time you make braised pig’s trotters, you must leave a portion for me.”

 

Shao Yu smiled and nodded, then sent the person out.

 

The next day, Shao Yingniang told Shao Yu everything she had gained at the weaving factory the day before. Naturally, she did not mention a word about the discrimination she had suffered at the weaving factory.

 

“Where do you plan to set up the factory? Do you have any idea?” Shao Yu asked.

 

Shao Yingniang’s current idea is to buy a piece of land in the suburbs.

 

The land in the suburbs is relatively cheap and can be afforded with her current savings.

 

Shao Yu asked again: “What about the loom, are you going to Hong Kong City to buy it?”

 

Shao Yingniang nodded and said, “If possible, I would like to go there in person.”

 

Although the Japanese have blocked the docks, there are still normal ship traffic, but the number is smaller than before and the inspections are more srict.

 

For someone like Shao Yingniang who really wants to do business, these inspections are no big deal.

 

“It’s your first time in Hong Kong City, I’ll accompany you,” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Yingniang thought about the whole family and worried that Shao Yu’s absence might have some impact.

 

“It’s okay. Let your mother take some leave from the restaurant and go home to take care of the children. The neighbors now rely on me for food, so they will naturally protect your mother.” Shao Yu said.

 

Shao Yingniang was indeed a little hesitant to travel alone, but seeing that Shao Yu had made such thorough arrangements, she agreed.

 

Although Shao Yu was worried about his daughter, he also had other things to do in Hong Kong. This trip was only a matter of time for him, so this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

 

After confirming the itinerary, Shao Yu began to make arrangements slowly.

 

Soon, the day of departure arrived.

 

Both father and daughter traveled light, each carrying only a small suitcase.

 

Such simple luggage will easily pass the inspection on board.

 

It was Shao Yingniang’s first time going out to sea, and she was quite uncomfortable with the situation. Shao Yu had anticipated this and prepared some pills for her.

 

After Shao Yingniang got better that day, she accompanied Shao Yu on the deck to take a walk.

 

Shao Yingniang looked at the scene of the sea and sky in front of her and said with emotion: “If dad hadn’t taken me away from the Wang family, I would probably still be facing the white walls of the Wang family.”

 

Shao Yu thought about the content of the original plot. If Shao Yingniang had not left, she would probably have welcomed her fourth daughter by now.
