Madam Yi

Bao Yu can feel that she was making them uncomfortable, especially Ning Xuan. Because Bao Yu was staying in her room. Bao Yu heard from Papa Ning that the three of them used to hang out in Ning Xuan's room.

Not even once Bao Yu saw Bai Ling or Qing Ze entering into the room when she started to live here.

Bao Yu was really getting bored so she decided to visit Papa Ning's restaurant.

When she was about to enter she saw Ning Xuan, Bai Ling, Qing Ze were hanging out with Lin Sang. Bao Yu have heard about her from Ning Xuan. She's one of their friend and classmate.

If Bao Yu wants to get inside she has to walk past them. She was debating herself whether she should leave or not? but she suddenly stopped when Bao Yu heard they were talking about her.

"Bao Yu, that girl must be sixteen years old right? How can she not know where her parents are living?" Lin Sang asked them.

"I too have the same doubt. In my point of view I think she's lying. She was normal when we first met her and suddenly she fainted. When she woke up, she started to cry saying i don't remember anything. How is that even possible?" Bai Ling replied to her.

"Why did she have to lie? What could be the reason?" Qing Ze started to wonder whether Bao Yu was cheating them or not.

"Ning Xuan, have you noticed anything strange about her?" Lin Sang asked her.

"No. I often saw her reading my high school books or my father's book collection" Ning Xuan replied to her.

"It's strange. how can she behave normal when she lost her memory? Other than the first day not even once she cried for her parents. Wait, what if she came here to swindle Papa Ning's money" Bai Ling gasped.

"I have heard some news that swindlers use a unique way to approach the victims. If she reading high school books then is she planning to use Papa Ning's money to pay the fees for her schooling?" Qing Ze eyes widened in shock.

"I will not let others to cheat my father. Let's see what Bao Yu is planning to do" Ning Xuan banged the table.

"I will also not tolerate if anyone dared to touch my family" Qing Ze gazed turned dark.

"Me too. I will not allow anyone to harm my family" Bai Ling joined them as well.

A soon she she heard them Bao Yu quickly ran away from there.

Bao Yu know what she doing was cheating but not even in her dream she thought to hurt them. So Bao Yu started to live like she was invisible to them.

Bao Yu couldn't even able to swallow the food which was given by Papa Ning. Never once she asked him for a extra bowl of rice or never asked him to cook her favorite. She was eating his food and staying at his place without doing any work or any help. Bao Yu tried to help Papa Ning with his restaurant work but she was scared to bump into the trio.

Never she thought that they are having these kind of thoughts about her. Bao Yu understood that anyone would have been suspicious if suddenly a stranger barge into their family.

Bao Yu dragged her tired body wherever her leg took. Suddenly a name board catched her eyes. Bao Yu quickly ran and read the details.

'Help assistant needed for cook. Per hour fourteen dollar with food'

Bao Yu didn't even thought for a second and entered into the restaurant.

"Kid, we didn't opened yet. Come after two hours" Bao Yu heard a lazy lady voice.

"I came here for the interview"

Suddenly the two people in the restaurant looked at her up and down.

"Are you sure you want to work here? We are not looking for a part-timers" that lady said to Bao Yu.

"Yeah I know. Right now because of some personal reasons I couldn't able to go to school. So I was looking for some job. I hope i can fulfill all your needs" BaoYu said confidently but still she was nervous.

"Okay. You're selected. When can you join?" That lady asked her.

Bao Yu blinked twice, "Right now. I can start right now" Bao Yu was almost screaming inwardly. Now she can pay Papa Ning for staying at his home.

"Madam Yi, are you sure you want hire her? She's just a kid" another girl who must be in her early twenties looked at doubtfully.

"Dong Mei, Did you forget how did you started to work here?" Madam Yi raised her eyebrows, "We should not forget our past" she patted Dong Mei's cheeks.

"Sorry Madam Yi. Don't worry I'll help her like how you helped me" Dong Mei smiled. Madam Yi nodded her head and went inside.

Dong Mei walked towards BaoYu with a smile on her face, "Don't mistake me. My name is Dong Mei. You can call me Sister Mei. I'm the cook here. Madam Yi is the owner of this restaurant. She's staying with her family next to this restaurant. And these two Lu Feng and Gao Lin will serve the food to the customers"

Bao Yu bowed at three of them, "You can call me Bao Yu"

"What a beautiful name" Bao Yu heard Madam Yi's voice. She gave her the uniform, "Here, you can change into this. You can help Dong Mei in cooking. If you have any doubt you can ask them"

Bao Yu nodded her head. She changed into the uniform and started to work immediately.

Sister Mei cooking was really skillful. Back in Bao Yu's place she usually cook for her family. So she often looked through internet for recipes. Sister Mei's cooking level was equal to masterchef.

Bao Yu leaned that Sister Mei was graduated from Culinary arts. Gao Lin and Lu Feng were college students. They're working here in their free time as well as to gain some experience.

When the time reached eight Madam Yi came to Bao Yu, "Bao Yu, it's getting late. You can leave for the day. By the way where are you living?"

Her question startled Bao Yu, "I just walked wherever my leg took me. I'm not familiar with this place" Bao replied to her genuinely.

"You silly girl, what are you thinking wandering on the streets? If you don't find our restaurant then what are you planning to do?" Madam Yi angry words somewhat comforted Bao Yu.

"Do you know any landmark?" Sister Mei asked her. Bao Yu thought for a second, "I don't remember any landmark. I was living in Papa Ning's house. He also owns a restaurant like you"

"I know him very well. His restaurant's noodles are very famous in our area. You're just living fifteen minutes walk away from here. Come I'll take you there" Madam Yi took her coat in her hand and dragged Bao Yu with her. Thankfully Bao Yu changed her uniform before.

"I know you must have your own difficulties. Don't worry, everything will be alright once time passes" Madam Yi said to Bao Yu before she left.

Bao Yu weakly smiled at the disappearing figure of Madam Yi hoping her words come true.

When Bao Yu entered into the house she was faced with angry Ning Xuan. "Do you know what is the time now? Where you went?"

Bao Yu was not sure whether she can tell Ning Xuan about her getting a job. Before Bao Yu could open her mouth Bai Ling said , "I thought you left so I planned to play with Ning Xuan in her room"

Bao Yu swallowed the words which she wanted to say. "Whose that lady? I saw you with her now" Qing Ze asked her when he entered Papa Ning's house. Bao Yu saw his eyes filled with doubt.

"Lady? What lady? You said you don't remember anything. But how could you know a person other than us," Ning Xuan asked me.

"Don't tell me everything is fake about you losing your memory. And you're here to swindle us" Bai Ling pointed at Bao Yu.

Her body started to tremble. They're are not giving any time for her to defend herself and they're assuming everything among themselves.

"Enough, everyone go back to your room" Papa Ning voice echoed in the house.
