After leaving the Li household, Qin Huairu wandered the streets for a while. Many new restaurants had sprung up in the area, and she inadvertently caught sight of Zhou Xuemei.
The Li family and the Zhou family’s restaurant were not far apart. She hadn’t paid much attention to the area before, but ever since she learned that Shazhu had opened a restaurant, she often found herself walking nearby. She couldn’t help but want to see how he was doing now. The feeling was much like stalking an ex-partner’s social media after a breakup, just to see if they were thriving.
The more successful He Family Restaurant became, the more money it made, and the worse Qin Huairu felt. If she had chosen He Yuzhu back then, she wouldn't have been forced to live such a turbulent, rootless life. All of this success should have been hers—how could she not feel miserable?
