Chapter 502: Chapter 502 Jiaojiao is a Little Lucky Star (3)_1

Hearing this, Shu Jiao could only wake up her sweetly sleeping daughter, reluctantly so. In the end, she set aside a separate dish to save some food for Ruan Jiaojiao, and they began to eat first.

Ruan Jianjun had just roughly calculated the income, and to his surprise, they had made forty yuan after half a day. This would normally be a cause for happiness, but seeing Ruan Jianjun’s stony face at the dinner table, he silently swallowed his words.

In the more than half a month since Ruan Jianjun had handed over the restaurant, business had indeed been poor, to the point of not making ends meet.

Wu Le had specifically quit his job to manage the restaurant and had taken it very seriously. As business worsened, his expression gradually soured, but he hadn’t expected that she would simply not show up today.

Ruan Jiaojiao had slept for over an hour and didn’t wake up until just after three in the afternoon.

As soon as Shu Jiao saw her awaken, she hurriedly brought over the food that had been kept warm, and Xiu Xi carried over some herbal tea, feeding it to her.

Ruan Jiaojiao was incredibly hungry; she had only had an egg in the morning and had fallen asleep, and after busying herself all morning without eating, she felt like her front was stuck to her back.

She normally would be full with just a small bowl of rice, but today, she ate two.

However, this made Ruan Jianjun’s complexion turn even uglier, almost to the point of blackness.

Ruan Jianmin only arrived when Ruan Jiaojiao had finished her last bite of food, and he came alone, without Wu Le.

Upon entering, Ruan Jianjun scoffed coldly, "Hah, it’s not even dark yet, and you’ve decided to show up? Isn’t that a bit early?"

Ruan Jianjun, standing behind Ruan Jianjun, frantically signaled with his eyes, but Ruan Jianmin did not catch the meaning at all.

Walking in with a gloomy face, he explained, "I came later than I had intended, something held me up this morning."

He had planned to come in the morning, but Wu Le was unwilling to come anymore. The business was bad, and she had lost her job, so she lost the desire to come.

When the restaurant first fell into their hands, it was profitable, but after half a month of trouble, it had come to this. Ruan Jianmin felt terrible about it, but he was even more proactive in his actions, trying to get the business going again.

Wu Le had felt the same way at first, but after struggling for a little over half a month, she had given up hope.

And now, she simply didn’t come at all, saying that today was Sunday and she wanted to rest at home. Since there was no business anyway, there was no point in making the effort.

Ruan Jianmin was unwilling and asked her to come over, but she refused to compromise. The two argued at home until the middle of the day, after which he came alone by bus.

Seeing Ruan Jianjun’s unpleasant expression, he asked in confusion, "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

Ruan Jianjun sighed from behind. This was just great; there had already been some dissatisfaction with Wu Le, and now she had not come at all...

Seeing Ruan Jianjun’s face was indeed looking terrible, Shu Jiao stood up, helpless, and said, "Today’s business was very good. We were counting on you two to help out, but you only arrived after it was all over. Is your wife not feeling well?"

Ruan Jianmin was taken aback.

"Today’s business was very good?" He found it hard to believe.

They had been averaging a mere one or two yuan a day for the past half month, even if it was a little more, it never exceeded three yuan. It really wasn’t enough to cover the costs.

"Yeah, we took in over forty yuan. It’s just that the two of you didn’t come, it got a bit hectic, and we were all exhausted." Ruan Jianjun lamented.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Jianmin’s face suddenly changed.
