Chapter 164 Taohua's Sweeping Kick
This is Fan Tong’s first time stepping into Taohua Dessert.
He didn't expect the Taohua Dessert Shop to be so big, with a wide variety of pastries displayed on the counter.
"Hey, young man, what would you like? Pastries or rice dumplings?" Liu Qiaoyun asked Fan Tong enthusiastically.
Fan Tong pointed at the rice dumplings and said, "Give me two."
He heard Meng Yanping say yesterday that the new rice dumplings from Taohua Dessert are delicious.
Taohua Dessert sent rice dumplings to Meng Yanping, so why didn’t they send any to him?
Fan Tong looked at Gu Taohua. Could it be that Widow Tong fell in love with Meng Yanping on behalf of Gu Taohua?
If this is true, Widow Tong is like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. What kind of family does Meng Yanping come from?
They own a shop in Pingchuan County and hundreds of acres of fertile land, which is incomparable to the Gu family.
When Gu Taohua heard Fan Tong's voice, her heart was moved, but she did not look up and continued to write the information about ordering a birthday cake on the paper.
Fan Tong was a little anxious and spoke loudly on purpose to attract Gu Taohua's attention.
But Gu Taohua just didn't look at him.
"Here are the rice dumplings for you. Go over there to pay." Liu Qiaoyun handed the wrapped rice dumplings to Fan Tong and pointed at Ma Huateng.
Fan Tong was delighted.
Gu Taohua was standing next to Ma Huateng, bending over the table and writing something down.
Gu Jingzhe walked over to pay the bill.
"Here is your change, keep it." Ma Huateng handed the change to Fan Tong and said.
Fan Tong took the change and found that Gu Taohua never looked up at him from beginning to end.
His heart was in turmoil.
What is Gu Taohua doing? She has already taken his handkerchief, but she is still pretending. Is she playing hard to get?
Fan Tong felt a surge of contempt in his heart, and walked up to Gu Taohua with a smile on his face. Before he could say anything, Gu Taohua stood up and greeted a woman enthusiastically.
"Hey, Madam Chen, you are here. What are you buying this time?"
Mrs. Chen is a member of Mrs. Huang’s inner circle and has already placed an order for banquet cakes with Taohua Dessert.
VIP customers like this are firmly controlled by Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua.
Madam Chen held Gu Taohua's hand and said, "Miss Taohua, my mother's birthday is coming up in a few days, and I want to order her birthday peaches and a birthday cake. Just... the same as for Madam Huang's birthday."
Gu Taohua smiled and said, "I'll know if you send someone to tell me. Why bother you to come here in person?"
Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "I ordered it mainly for my mother. I was afraid that something might go wrong, so I had to go there in person to show my filial piety."
Gu Taohua said, "You are very filial."
Admiration rose in Mrs. Chen's eyes.
Widow Tong is so lucky to have raised such a capable daughter.
I heard that Taohua is only fourteen years old. Listen to these beautiful words, they really hit the mark in her heart.
Peach Blossom is a little fat, but what’s wrong with being a little fat? Being fat is a blessing.
Madam Chen said a few more words to Gu Taohua, then stood up and said, "Please say hello to your mother for me, and I won't delay your business."
Gu Taohua smiled and said, "Come here often."
He walked Mrs. Chen to the door and watched her get on the carriage before turning back to Peach Blossom Dessert.
"Peach Blossom."
Fan Tong stopped Gu Taohua.
"What's the matter, Mr. Fan? Did you buy the rice dumplings from my shop and forget to bring the silver, so you want to buy it on credit?" Gu Taohua asked coldly.
Fan Tong asked the price loudly in the shop and deliberately walked towards her, just to attract her attention.
If it were in the past, Gu Taohua would have been unable to suppress her excitement.
But now she just felt that Fan Tong was extremely disgusting.
Gu Taohua didn't want to pay attention to Fan Tong and was about to walk into the shop.
"Taohua, I have something to tell you." Fan Tong stopped Gu Taohua and refused to give way.
At this time, many customers who came to buy cakes looked at the two of them curiously.
Gu Taohua secretly hated Fan Tong for being cunning.
He did it on purpose, deliberately stopping her at the door of Peach Blossom Dessert.
She couldn't slap Fan Tong in public.
Fan Tong was holding a rice dumpling with the Taohua Dessert logo printed on the packaging. Maybe everyone thought Taohua Dessert had beaten or scolded a customer.
Gu Taohua is only a fourteen-year-old girl after all. She is not that thick-skinned and is afraid of bringing bad influence to the shop.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Fan, come on, let's talk about your credit business."
As he spoke, he walked towards the alley next to him.
Gu Taohua decided to explain everything to Fan Tong once and for all. In order to prevent customers from misunderstanding her and Fan Tong, she deliberately said that Fan Tong bought things on credit at Taohua Dessert.
Fan Tong didn't expect Gu Taohua to say that.
Faced with the contemptuous gazes of so many customers, he felt humiliated.
Gu Jingzhe's sister was indeed born into a family of peddlers, so vulgar.
Not even worthy of carrying Miss Huang's shoes.
The Huang family's dream of becoming a son-in-law is shattered. I have to put up with this little girl for now.
Fan Tong gritted his teeth and followed Gu Taohua into the alley.
Gu Taohua stopped, looked at Fan Tong coldly, and said, "If you have anything to say, hurry up, I'm busy."
Fan Tong wanted to stamp his feet.
Vulgar, so vulgar!
Fan Tong stood in front of Gu Taohua and said with a smile: "Sister Taohua, I have always wanted to come to Taohua Dessert to see you, but Aunt Tong seems to have some misunderstanding about me."
Gu Taohua rolled her eyes and said, "I don't see why my mother has any misunderstandings about you."
Fan Tong didn't expect Gu Taohua to be so eloquent. Her words made him feel depressed.
"I gave Taohua a handkerchief..."
"I used you as a fire starter. Next time, why don't you send me some firewood? The handkerchief might get burned." Gu Taohua said, "Also, don't call me sister in the future. I have three brothers at home, and I don't need you."
Fan Tong was shocked.
Gu Taohua's performance clearly showed that she was fed up with her.
How could this vulgar girl from Qinghewan countryside be tired of him?
He was a scholar, and he didn't despise her for being vulgar or for selling cakes on the street.
Fan Tong concealed his true emotions, with his usual gentle smile on his face, and asked slowly and calmly: "Sister Taohua, you treated me... not like this before. Do you have any misunderstandings about me? Did you believe what happened between me and Miss Huang? Those were all misunderstandings. Miss Huang fell in love with me, but I didn't like her."
In the past, Gu Taohua was fascinated by this smile.
Now this smile made Gu Taohua feel sick.
Gu Taohua is like Tong Huaqiong's star-chaser in her previous life. Once she turns from a fan to a hater of her own brother, she can never put the filter back on.
Fan Tong's words made Gu Taohua very disdainful. It was obvious that his dream of becoming a son-in-law of the Huang family was shattered, but he still had the nerve to save his reputation.
"How shameless! How dare you slander Miss Huang? How could Miss Huang fall in love with you? You are not even worthy of carrying Miss Huang's shoes." Gu Taohua had the urge to tear Fan Tong's mouth apart.
"Sister Taohua, I am very pleased with you"
Fan Tong's confession finally made Gu Taohua even more hostile to him.
Gu Taohua didn't waste any time talking to Fan Tong and swept Fan Tong to the ground with a sweeping kick.
Fan Tong lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't believe that Gu Taohua would treat her like that. He looked at Gu Taohua as if she had been possessed by another spirit.
Gu Taohua pressed her ten fingers together, making a clapping sound. She sneered and said to Fan Tong, "If you say dirty words to me again next time, I will not only beat you up."
"Mr. Fan, you are a scholar, but you refuse to pay your debt. Don't let me see you next time."
Gu Taohua kicked again, then walked towards Taohua Dessert angrily.
In everyone's eyes, this was like Fan Tong buying things on credit, and Gu Taohua got angry because she didn't get the money she wanted.
Fan Tong lay on the ground, dizzy and it took him a long time to get up.
Warm blood flowed to the back of my hand, and my nose started bleeding when I touched it.
"That fat sister is so fierce."
There was a pile of firewood in front of someone's house in the alley, and two people, one big and one small, were hiding behind the pile.
The child was shocked by Gu Taohua's sweeping kick.
"Shh, don't talk."
A pair of big hands covered the child's mouth.
