Chapter 1737: Unlucky Heiress (7)

"Boss, do you even know how to run a business? If you keep doing things like this, you'll lose money. Forget it, don't give us change. You're opening tomorrow, right? I'll come again tomorrow. Your snacks taste great, and they're clean too. You should charge more. Make some money. Just don't shut down because you can't afford the rent."

With that, the student forcibly stuffed the money into Chen Xian's hand and ran off with the others.

The snack shop officially opened the next day and was packed from the very first day.

Within just one week, it had attracted many internet influencers who came specifically to try the food.

The couple became so busy they had no choice but to hire several waiters.

Whenever she had free time, Tang Guo would come to help out.

Calculating the dates, it was almost time to meet her biological parents.

That day, Tang Guo followed the original timeline and wandered around outside the university, near the place where her biological parents were supposed to appear.

Unexpectedly, after waiting half the day, she still didn't see them.

"What's going on? Did something go wrong?"

The System quickly investigated and soon said, 【According to the original timeline, Host, your biological parents came to the university to visit Tang Yi. But I've discovered that Tang Yi repeated a year. She suddenly fell seriously ill during the college entrance examination and was admitted to the emergency room. She was sick for about a month. So, Host, Tang Yi isn't attending university here, and your biological parents probably won't come.】

"So that's how it is."

Tang Guo frowned slightly. Did she have to take the initiative herself?

She asked about the timing of Tang Yi's illness and suddenly understood.

Could it be that because her adoptive parents had escaped their calamity, the Lucky Charm had suffered a backlash and Tang Yi had fallen sick?

Since she hadn't met them, she didn't force the issue.

She leisurely walked back to the shop and happened to hear a voice from inside.

"Mom, Dad, so many of my classmates have come here before. I've been craving this place for ages. I finally had to wait until Friday for you to bring me."

"If I hadn't gotten sick, I'd already be in university by now, and I'd be able to eat here every day."

Tang Guo glanced inside.

The pretty girl with delicate features, happily eating from a small bowl, was none other than Tang Yi.

And sitting across from her was her biological father and mother.

Both of them were eating continuously, clearly very satisfied with the food.

"It's delicious, but it's a little too spicy. My stomach can't really take it anymore." Mother Tang shook her head and looked regretfully at the remaining half-bowl of food.

"Would you like some cooling white fungus porridge?" Tang Guo walked over and asked with a smile.

"Then bring us some."

Mother Tang raised her head with a smile, but the moment she saw Tang Guo, she froze for a second.

By the time she wanted to look more carefully, Tang Guo had already turned around and gone to fetch the porridge.

After all those twists and turns, it was actually this little snack shop that had drawn them here.

When Tang Guo returned with the bowls of white fungus porridge and placed them on the table, Mother Tang's eyes remained fixed on her.

"Is something wrong?" Tang Guo asked.

"N-No. It's just that the food here is really delicious."

Holding the bowl of porridge, Mother Tang lowered her head. Her eyes held complicated emotions, but more than anything, they contained surprise.

Still, she didn't reveal anything.

Although Tang Guo resembled her younger self by seven or eight parts, there were plenty of similar-looking people in the world. She couldn't just grab a stranger and ask if she was her daughter.

Besides, Xiao Yi was here. She had to consider the child's feelings.

Father Tang had noticed as well.

He was calmer than Mother Tang.

Yet both of them, whenever they weren't paying attention, found their gazes drifting toward Tang Guo.

As Tang Guo busied herself around the shop, moving back and forth, neither of them wanted to leave the snack shop anymore.
