Chapter 7: Sad Bitter Chestnut Latte 3
Before I knew it, I was back in the "Xianyue House".
After calming down, I found a lot of suspicious points.
Who reported me to the Industry and Commerce Bureau?
Who posted the anonymous letter of accusation on the college bulletin board?
Best of all, I didn’t use expired cocoa powder at all!
It’s so abominable. If I find this person, I will definitely give him a good beating!
In order to investigate the first scene and obtain first-hand information, I had to come to "Xianyue House" first to inquire about the situation.
I felt very sad when I saw a seal on the door of "Xianyue House".
"Xianyue House" is my hard work and my hope, and I don't want to lose it.
"Ju Xiaoxian! You have to cheer up! Don't be knocked down so easily!" I cheered myself up.
I went in through the back door and carefully checked the cooking room. There was no expired cocoa powder at all. And since Fiame was fired, this place only accepts special drink orders, and is in a state of half rest and half business...
Ouch, so annoying.
I slumped over the table in frustration. Forget it. I'd better look at the text I took and look for clues.
I opened the picture I took on my phone and followed the method my brother taught me before to change the mirror text into normal text, and then used the password to change it into the corresponding Chinese characters.
Jin Hou Sanliu.
I recognize every word, but when I put them together I have no idea what they mean.
I opened the webpage and entered some irrelevant text, and the search result showed "0".
Alas, is this just random writing and meaningless? Is this all a coincidence? No way, the flame of hope that I just ignited was extinguished in an instant.
When I was at a loss, the back door of "Xianyue House" was pushed open forcefully, and Qiaoqiao and Beijianming rushed in.
"Xiaoxian!"
I was a little surprised. Why were they here?
"Xiaoxian, we've been looking for you for a long time, all over the campus. Finally, we thought that you might come to 'Xianyue House', so we rushed here immediately. Are you okay?" Qiaoqiao looked at me very worriedly, and Beijianming also showed a concerned expression.
"I'm fine." I gave a wry smile. Fortunately, my mood had improved a little, otherwise Qiaoqiao would have worried again.
"Xian Yue Wu" was closed down and was falsely accused of using expired cocoa powder. Dong Yehan knew that I was the owner and special drink chef of "Xian Yue Wu"... This is a complete mess!
My life has fallen from a happy paradise into a painful hell!
Qiaoqiao gently reproached, "You said it was okay, but you've cried so much that your eyes are red. Xiaoxian, don't be sad, we still support you and help you! I don't know which bad guy actually framed us for using expired cocoa powder, I will definitely find a way to find this person out!"
Qiaoqiao was so angry that her face turned red.
"I don't know who is so hateful. Could it be our competitor?" I recalled and didn't know when I made an enemy.
"But no one else knows that you are the special drink chef of 'Xianyuewu'." Qiaoqiao frowned and said.
"I have absolutely no clue." I couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Even if I found the bad guy, the problem between Dong Yehan and I would not be solved.
"Xiaoxian, have you explained to Dong Yehan that you are the special drink chef of 'Xianyuewu'? I just met Dong Yehan and Ming asked about you. Dong Yehan lost his temper and had a quarrel with Ming. He seemed to be in a very bad mood."
Sure enough, he was angry.
I nodded dejectedly and said uncomfortably, "Yes, I do, but he doesn't believe it. I think he must be very disappointed in me."
"How about this, don't be anxious, let him calm down for a few days, and when he is not so angry, you can explain everything to him. Maybe he will understand and forgive you." Qiaoqiao comforted me.
"I will say something good about Han on your behalf." Bei Jianming said coldly, but his words were particularly trustworthy.
"Thank you." I looked at them with emotion. Fortunately, I had good friends by my side when I was most sad.
"However, my homeroom teacher just told me to tell you that because the incident has a serious impact, the school has suspended you for a week so that you can sort out your issues before going back to class."
"Yeah." When I heard that I would be suspended from school for a week, I was not surprised at all. Instead, I felt relieved. Now I need time to sort out my feelings.
"Xiaoxian, don't worry, I will also help you at the college. Just take a good rest these few days, sort out your emotions, and think about how to explain to Dong Yehan." Qiaoqiao gave me an encouraging smile.
"Um!"
"That's right, cheer up!"
"Okay, Qiaoqiao, when did you become so nagging? I want to be alone, you guys go back first." I looked at Qiaoqiao helplessly. When did she become a nagging old woman?
"Okay then, we'll go back first. If you need any help, come to us immediately." Qiaoqiao reminded again and again.
"I know." Qiaoqiao is really worrying.
After Qiaoqiao and the others left, the corners of my lips immediately dropped. I sighed deeply and prepared to stay in the special drinking room for a while.
I thought the most important things in my life were to find my missing brother and become a great drink maker, mixing drinks that would make people happy, but I didn't expect to succeed in either.
I couldn't figure out the clues my brother left behind. "Xianyue House" was closed down, and I became a "black-hearted businessman", and I made Dong Yehan sad and painful. Thinking of his disappointed expression, my heart ached. Now in his eyes, maybe I am really annoying. I joined the investigation team with the purpose of using me, and I have been lying and deceiving him.
"Oh, why am I such a failure?"
No! Ju Xiaoxian, why are you complaining about yourself again? What did Qiaoqiao just tell you?
"Ju Xiaoxian, you can't give up. You must regain Dong Yehan's trust and love."
Suddenly, my stomach growled, and I remembered that I hadn't had dinner yet. But the special drink room was in a mess, and many ingredients had been knocked over. The only ingredients left were coffee and chestnuts.
With just these two, I can make myself a slightly bitter chestnut latte .
I took out the hand coffee grinder, ground the coffee and boiled it, then poured in a certain amount of milk, and finally poured in the chestnut powder.
But I was absent-minded, my hands were shaking, and I put a lot of chestnut powder in. Oops, it must be very bitter.
I wanted to save it, but then I thought, isn’t this just right? This pain is just like my mood at the moment.
"Dong Yehan..." I took a sip of coffee, accompanied by full of bitterness, and gently called his name. Perhaps, our love is like this slightly bitter chestnut latte, full of confusion and pain, but reluctant to let go.
