Because it's winter, it was cold despite the warmth from the sun. Cai Zhongpu was wrapped in a green military coat. He looked at the Emerald Jade Brook's signboard with complicated feelings in his eyes as he started to reminisce. Back then, he didn't even have a single dime, and he had given his all for the Emerald Jade Brook. But now that he had to demolish it, he was reluctant to part with it.
"Uncle Cai, you're back!" Su Tao went up with a smile on his face. He was happy to see Cai Zhongpu.
Cai Zhongpu nodded his head and gratefully shook hands with Su Tao. "Thank you."
The reason why Cai Zhongpu could be released was due to Su Tao acting as a go-between.
He confessed some matters, which played a crucial part in the collapse of the Nie Family. Thus, since his contributions outdid his mistakes, he was pardoned from punishment. But the key figure that caused the collapse of the Nie Family still lied with She Wei. She was initially on the brink of death, but Su Tao treated her, and she stood out to denounce her husband, Nie Haitian. Thus, the Nie Family, who was once glorious in Huaibei, has collapsed.
Glancing at Cai Yan, who was beside him, he turned and shook his head towards Cai Zhongpu. "I'm just doing what I should."
Taking a deep breath, Cai Zhongpu said, "As for using the Emerald Jade Brook to expand the Three Flavour Hall, Cai Yan has already told me about it, and I consent to this matter. I'll get workers tomorrow to come and deal with this matter, so the Three Flavour Hall will be able to expand its shopfront." He looked at the number of patients that visited the Three Flavour Hall with a trace of shock in his eyes. A few months ago, who would have expected that the deserted Three Flavour Hall would be so flouris.h.i.+ng?
In the past, his Emerald Jade Brook had the best business around, but right now, the entrance was locked, and the signboard was covered in layers of dust. Comparing the Emerald Jade Brook with the current Three Flavour Hall, Cai Zhongpu felt helpless in his heart.
Su Tao could sense the sorrow in Cai Zhongpu's heart, so he said, "Uncle Cai, Cai Yan has previously mentioned this matter to me, but I did not agree to it back then. After all, it's the result of your blood and sweat. But since you're back now, then there's no reason for it to be done. You're a famous figure in the antique industry, and as long as you reopen your shop, the Emerald Jade Brook will surely flourish like it has in the past."
Cai Zhongpu waved his hand and said in a bleak tone, "Su Tao, you don't have to say anymore. I've figured it all out recently, and I've decided to leave the Emerald Jade Brook to Cai Yan. Since she wants to do TCM Pharmacy together with you, then I will support her unconditionally. Although I'm closing the Emerald Jade Brook in the Old Street, I will open it in another place."
She Wei smiled and added, "Old Cai has decided to follow me back to He City. I also have an antique shop under me, so he'll help me manage it."
Su Tao was stunned. He never expected such development. It looks like the relations.h.i.+p between Cai Zhongpu and She Wei was no longer tense, like it was in the past. He could see Cai Yan winking her eyes in his direction, and he instantly figured out that she must have been the middle man.
Through this period, Cai Yan and She Wei have formed a good relations.h.i.+p. As the saying goes, love the house, love its crow. She Wei's att.i.tude towards Cai Zhongpu was no longer like it was in the past, and she had chosen to show tolerance.
To celebrate their return, the Three Flavour Hall prepared a sumptuous meal, and Cai Zhongpu was surprised when he saw how familiar Cai Yan was with the employees here.
Reading his thoughts, She Wei asked, "Are you feeling weird after seeing your daughter changing into another person?"
