Chapter 1375: Lie at Gunpoint

After returning home, I called the proprietress over. Under her instructions, I arranged the tables, chairs and cabinets ordered by Barbara one by one. After paying the tip, I sent the staff away.

The proprietress hugged her arms and leaned on the bar with a domineering look. She looked around the cafe, took a deep breath and said, "Not bad, you did a good job. I didn't expect that five years later, you have grown from the poor boy in my family to a I am both surprised and happy that you are now the hottest person in power, at least Barbara and you should not have to suffer much."

"Look what you said," I chuckled, "Even if I endure hardship, I can't let Barbara endure hardship."

The lady boss glanced at me and said, "You have become more skilled in this glib tongue."

I touched my furry head and smiled without saying a word.

Barbara came back five hours later. As soon as I walked in, I was stunned by her large and small packages.

Following closely behind was Mrs. Swift, who was also covered in bundles.

Following Swift was the foodie girl, whose hands and body were already full of bags, more than Barbara and Mrs. Swift combined!

Barbara's nostrils were turned up in the sky, with a arrogant expression. After a few steps in the door, she started shouting: "Xiao Yi, where is Xiao Yi, come and help!"

I twitched my lips helplessly, walked out of the bar quickly, took the large and small packages from Barbara, and placed them one by one on the table next to me.

Barbara snorted and said angrily: "Why so slow!"

I winked at her and motioned for her to look towards the bar.

Barbara shook her ears suspiciously and turned her head: "Ah! Aunt! Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see how the cafe is decorated, and to see if my niece is working hard!"

The landlady had a domineering expression on her face, and her tone of voice was very harsh, especially the last word "work", which she said very hard.

Barbara was sweating profusely, and she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. She was stunned for a few seconds, and then her little hands suddenly tugged at the corner of my clothes, asking me to help smooth things over.

I cleared my throat, pointed to the large and small packages on the table, and asked, "With all these bags, who are they buying the things in them for?"

Barbara's cat, which was drooping in fear, suddenly stood up and said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I bought a lot of good things for my aunt when I went out this time!"

After saying that, she swept away her previous panic and regained her joy. She took out seven or eight exquisitely packaged boxes from a pile of bags and handed them to the landlady in a flattering manner. She said to please: "Aunt, these are for your filial piety." of."

The proprietress opened them one by one and took a look. They were pieces of jewelry made of fine gemstones. The decorations on the edges were made of platinum and gold. They looked very expensive at first glance.

This girl must have spent a lot of money on this trip.

Hey, forget it, fortunately, the jewelry store is also mine, so even if the loss is small, the loss will not be big.

Just as Barbara was flattering the landlady, Mrs. Swift quietly excused herself to me. I nodded and saw her off personally.

At the door, I said to Mrs. Swift: "It's been really hard on you today. My fiancée must be very willful."

"No, she is very cute." Mrs. Swift smiled politely and said, "If she can marry you, she will be happy."

"Oh, I feel a little embarrassed to hear you say that."

Mrs. Swift and I chatted a few more words and then watched her leave.

Back at the cafe, the landlady was looking through Barbara's filial jewelry one by one. Seeing the smile on her face, the landlady must have forgiven Barbara for her laziness.

Most women like trinkets made of precious stones and gold and silver. This is natural, although those trinkets have no purpose other than looking gorgeous.

Although the boss lady may be domineering and arrogant, she is also a woman after all, and she cannot escape the charm exuded by jewelry.

I began to think about whether I could also use jewelry or other things to please the boss lady in the future. After all, Barbara was prone to having a bad temper, and every time she lost her temper, she would complain to the boss lady, which made me angry every time. I was in fear for several days.

The proprietress accepted Barbara's filial piety with peace of mind, and selected a few of them to wear on her body.

Generally, girls wear jewelry to look charming or gorgeous, but the proprietress who wears jewelry has a strong air of a housewife.

That domineering demeanor, that hugging posture, that arrogant expression, and that frightening look in his eyes all strengthened and strengthened this aura.

"How are you, Xiaoyi!" Barbara asked me: "Are these jewelry I picked suitable for my aunt?"

"Suitable!" I gave a thumbs up and complimented: "Every piece of jewelry can bring out the extraordinary temperament of the boss lady, and at the same time release her restrained aristocratic aura. Anyone who sees this will know it when walking on the street. I think the landlady is from a famous family and must be a noble lady!"

"Uh-huh!" Barbara was very satisfied with my compliment, and her cat ears turned quickly.

Listening to the interaction between the three of us, the foodie girl stood aside in a daze. While in daze, she took out a potato chip from the bag and threw it into her mouth.

"Aren't you tired of hanging so many bags?" I walked over, unloaded the bags she was carrying one by one, and put them on the table.

The foodie girl grinned: "This is much lighter than when working at the adventurer base."

"Huh?" I asked in confusion: "Isn't your job at the adventurer base recording and operating?"

"How can it be so easy?" She stretched out her fingers and counted them one by one, and said: "There are also cleaning up debris, carrying materials, cleaning up, and bringing food back to the people in the base. Anyway, there are many things that I need to do. Woolen cloth."

It seems that this girl's life in the Adventurer's Base was not as easy as expected.

"Okay now, you are the deputy manager of the cafe, so you will be a little tired during this period. When the business officially opens, you can let the employees do those things."

The foodie girl nodded and stuffed another potato chip into her mouth.

Afterwards, Barbara, who had finished pretending to be good, turned around, walked around the cafe, and said with a pout: "The arrangement is too neat, and I don't feel anything new at all. Xiaoyi, your aesthetics are really single." ah."

I spread my hands and said, "These are all arranged by the landlady."

Barbara was startled and turned around to see the proprietress looking at her with a smile. Her expression suddenly changed and she said flatteringly: "I'm just telling you, why are they so neat? This kind of decoration is simply a model in the cafe world!"

The landlady sighed softly: "Xiaoyi, Barbara was not so cunning in the past. You have led this person to evil."

I:

Oh my god, I was shot even while I was lying down.
