The few employees in charge of their area looked at each other warily. “You’re not a viewer of our manager’s livestream, are you?”
Li Yue’s expression did not change. He smiled and said, “I’m not, but my son is. It’s just that the older the children are, the more they have ideas. They don’t like to talk to parents like us.”
Li Yue vividly portrayed the image of an old father who was worried sick about his adolescent child. It made the employees in the shop lower their guard against him.
Moreover, some elders were worried that their juniors would be too obsessed with some internet celebrity shops that they did not understand.
“I see. Don’t worry, nothing happened in the shop. Our manager is pregnant and can’t be too tired, so we reduced the quota.”
Li Yue pretended to be surprised. “It’s too tiring to work in the shop when you’re pregnant.”
“It’s not at the shop. It is just remotely managed.”
“You can do that? Is it usually like this, or is it just this special situation that—”
“Usually.”
“Then…”
“Little Wen, there are a few things that have to be delivered here. Come and help.”
The waiter who was talking to Li Yue was stunned for a moment. He turned around and met Cheng Yixuan’s slightly warning gaze.
He suddenly remembered that the restaurant’s rules forbade him from casually revealing information about the store manager to customers. His face turned pale and he said stiffly, “I’m sorry, I still have something to do, so I won’t talk to you anymore. This is your braised food.”
Little Wen handed the packed marinade to Li Yue and quickly turned to enter the small kitchen. The employees at the side also minded their own business and had no time to bother with him.
Li Yue knew that he would not be able to get anything out of him if he continued asking. Instead, he would easily arouse suspicion. He could only leave regretfully with the small box of braised food.
Dou Tianyi was not surprised to hear Li Yue’s report. If it was so easy to get information out of them, they would not have taken so long to find so many clues.
“Have you found out how far along Miss Su’s pregnancy is?”
“I’ve found it,” Lee said, visibly relieved.
Su Yayan’s pregnancy could be said to have been kept a secret from the hospital. The Su family and Cheng family also did not announce it to the public and waited patiently for the child to be born before celebrating.
Even Song Yunyuan had only found out about Su Yayan’s pregnancy by chance because she had spent a lot of money to hire someone who lived near the Huo family’s old residence to investigate his whereabouts.
Li Yue could not find out anything from outside. In the end, he took a risk and got someone to sneak into the high-end residential area near the Huo family’s old residence. Only then did he manage to see Su Yayan and her husband, who had gone out for a walk, and confirm the fact that she was pregnant.
“From the photos, at least seven or eight months.”
“Seven or eight months.” Dou Tianyi frowned.
Which meant her baby would be born in two months, tops.
Based on how much the Huo family valued her, they probably would not let her appear outside for the next two months.
In addition, she had to go through confinement after giving birth, which added up to three months.
Thinking of his body, Dou Tianyi’s eyes turned cold. It seemed that he had to find a reason to visit or… force her to come out.
“Get Uncle Qi to come to the house. From today onwards, I want to see a detailed physical report about me every day.”
Uncle Qi was Dou Tianyi’s private doctor. He had to visit the Dou residence several times a month.
Dou Tianyi obviously had some guesses about the owner of this shop.
After this trip, Li Yue was also curious about Miss Su. He hurriedly said, “Okay, I’ll contact Doctor Qi immediately.”
