C600 Stupid
C600 Stupid
In the end, Qiangwei's cheeks were red as she angrily said, "This name is just like a 'puppy'. If you continue to call me that, I'll really get angry!"
Yang Chen suddenly realized that "stupid" really didn't seem like a human name, so he smiled slowly and swore to not call Qiangwei that way anymore.
Qiangwei didn't really care about what to eat, so she didn't have any opinions. Yang Chen simply chose a clean farmhouse and the two of them ordered four dishes and a soup. They sat by the window and started eating while talking and laughing.
It was only now that Yang Chen brought up the matter of Azure Dragon Society. Because of that Gao Yue, Yang Chen hoped that Qiangwei would not cooperate with his father-in-law Liu Qingshan anymore, and even hoped that Qiangwei would not give Azure Dragon Society s too much freedom in Zhong Hai.
Qiangwei was a little surprised to hear that Gao Yue had persecuted the female university student who sold her to be a lady. She frowned as if she was thinking about something.
Yang Chen said, "You definitely won't feel comfortable listening to this, so I didn't mention it during the day, so it's not pleasant to let your mind wander. As I told you now, the decision is still in your hands. I will support you no matter what you do."
You said that my Red Thorn Society is mine, so that means it's yours. You don't want me to cooperate with you, so of course I accept it, and since I'm also a woman, I hate men who force women to betray their self-esteem, so Gao Yue should go to jail. "
Since the matter was settled like this, Yang Chen wouldn't say much. There was no need to waste time on such things between the two of them.
Then, Yang Chen mentioned the matter of his mother-in-law, Ma Guifaang, staying at Qiangwei's home. He asked Qiangwei if she was not used to it. After all, there was now an unfamiliar elder.
After all, she's Qianni's mother and isn't an outsider. Plus, after Auntie Ma came, she took very good care of me, too. Auntie Ma will cook a lot of delicious food for us to eat, and she even taught me to cook.
"That's true. You and Qianni are living in such a big house, so it wouldn't be good if it was empty." Yang Chen showed a depressed look again, "It's hard on me. If I want to go to your place and lie down in the middle of the night, I'll have to be afraid of being found out."
Qiangwei chuckled, "So you and Qianni didn't confess their relationship to Auntie Ma? I thought Auntie Ma had already accepted it! "
Yang Chen smiled bitterly, "I was planning to be frank, my mom has already promised to meet with my mother-in-law, and I'll have to say it then. But I'm very worried, after all my mother-in-law looks kind, but she isn't someone easy to deal with. I estimate that it will take a lot of time, but I think there will be a way to overcome it."
Qiangwei pouted and said, "Hmph, who told you to go around asking for peach blossoms like that? When I first came back, you were still putting on an act about how hard I tried to get close to you. I didn't expect that the moment I opened my arms and embraced so much, I felt that I had misjudged her. If I knew earlier, when your woman was under so much pressure, I wouldn't be able to stay by myself. "
"Tsk tsk, Qiangwei'er, what you said is wrong." Yang Chen smiled and said, "Look at Qianni. She is still working hard even under pressure. You don't have anyone to control you. You are free and free. Compared to her, you are much happier."
Qiangwei's eyes dimmed when she heard this. "That's right. I have no elders, so no one cares who I'm with …"
Yang Chen stared blankly, and secretly cursed himself as a "fool". Not only did his teapot not open, Qiangwei personally sent her father, Situ Mingze, out of the country, and stayed alone in the China, all by herself. To think that he even brought up the matter of her not having any relatives, he was the "stupid" himself! How could such a thing be viewed happily!?
"Although Lin Ruoxi has lost her grandmother and mother, there's still Nanny Wang who dotes on her in the family. Qianni, there's also Aunt Ma. Husband, you were an orphan before, but now you have found your own mother. I'm the only one left," Qiangwei mumbled with a sad expression.
Yang Chen stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Qiangwei's eyes, attracting her attention. "I was wrong. "Qiangwei, although there is no elder to care about you, there is a man who loves you."
Qiangwei said sweetly, "I'm not that weak. Don't treat me like a little girl and eat."
Yang Chen finally felt better. Seeing that the food was getting cold, he started to eat.
The two finished their meal and paid their bill before walking out of the restaurant. Outside, the Walking Street was full of neon lights. The sky was lit up so bright that there were no stars in the sky. Only a crescent moon hung in the air.
"Let's take a walk on the street. It's still early anyway," Yang Chen suggested. It was rare for him to have free time, so he wanted to spend more time with Qiangwei.
Qiangwei immediately nodded her head in agreement. As for the time she spent alone with Yang Chen, she also cherished it greatly.
The two of them held hands, just like the most ordinary couple. They strolled along the wide street, occasionally walking into some small grocery stores and occasionally going into some fashion brands' specialty stores.
When they reached the intersection of a street and a snack bar, Yang Chen's footsteps paused. His gaze shifted to the corner of the street where a charcoal roasted snack bar was …
Qiangwei, who was in high spirits, noticed Yang Chen's abnormality and also looked over carefully. When she saw the person Yang Chen was paying attention to, she realized that it was a middle-aged man who sold carburized snacks.
"Hubby, who is that person? Is it your friend? " Qiangwei asked.
Yang Chen nodded, "I guess so. Remember when I was selling mutton skewers in the past, I went to your bar and often mentioned Old Lee's family to you. That person is Old Lee."
"So it's him." Qiangwei finally understood. "He must be that Lee Jingjing's father. Why did he come here to set up a stall? This place is quite far away from his home."
Yang Chen shook his head. That was also what he was wondering. Besides, Old Lee was busy roasting all kinds of snacks. He was sweating profusely and looking miserable. It was obvious that he had not been doing well lately.
Logically speaking, since Lee Jingjing had gone to the United States and had gone abroad for public expenses, Old Lee and his wife shouldn't be as tired as they were when they offered their daughter to study in the past.
Yang Chen looked at her with a meaningful glance. He then led Qiangwei to Old Lee's stall with a complicated look on his face as he looked at his old friend who was busy with his work.
Old Lee had just grilled a few chapters of tentacles and sprinkled them with spices. He raised his head and habitually shouted, "Sir, what would you like to order?"
But when he looked up, Old Lee was stunned to find that the person in front of him was Yang Chen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
If it was in the past, Yang Chen could be said to have forgotten all about his relationship with him. But ever since the incident with his daughter Lee Jingjing, Old Lee knew that it would be difficult for them to restore the previous intimacy between each other.
"Yang Chen, why have you come? It's been a long time since I last saw you." Old Lee smiled awkwardly. He subconsciously looked at Qiangwei, who was beside Yang Chen, and nodded with a smile as a greeting.
Yang Chen was deeply moved. The man who once bragged about himself outside the market now had an indescribable feeling of strangeness. It was because of the love between a man and a woman that didn't bear fruit. It was really ironic.
"Old Lee, why did you set up a stall here? It's quite far from your home!" Yang Chen asked with concern.
Old Lee continued to barbeque while smiling bitterly: "The competition is big now and there are less customers over there. I heard that the business here is easy, so I came over here. Furthermore, it won't take much effort to walk a few more streets. "
Yang Chen wasn't the same as when he first sold mutton skewers, so he didn't know much about the hawkers' market. He nodded, then asked hesitantly, "Has Jingjing contacted her family recently, after sending her to the United States, I haven't heard any news about her. They should be having a good time, right?"
In Yang Chen's heart, he was still thinking about the girl that he thought was his sister. Although she had done some silly things before, how could he forget the girl that opened his heart right after returning to his country?
Speaking of his daughter, Old Lee said proudly, "That girl called back and said she's already used to it over there. Speaking of her daughter, Old Lee said proudly," That girl called back and said she's already used to it over there.
Yang Chen smiled and said, "That's good. If you can really stay there and be an assistant professor, then you don't have to be so tired when you're with your wife in the future."
"That's right, that girl can still be considered to be trying her best." Old Lee said in a gratified tone. Then, he thought of something else and said, "Oh right, Yang Chen, our family still owes you that one hundred thousand yuan. It was for my wife's medical care. I will definitely find some time to return it to you, but right now, we don't have any extra money at home, so I'm really sorry for dragging it on. "
Yang Chen remembered that Old Lee's family really owed him money. Previously, it was because he gave all the money he had to Old Lee that he didn't have the money to do other small businesses, so he could only sell mutton skewers.
However, a hundred thousand dollars was not a big deal to him. He casually said, "Don't worry, you can pay me back when you have free money. You and your wife should take care of yourself, otherwise Jingjing will be able to be filial to you."
Old Lee grinned and laughed, "It's okay, I'm fine. Do you want some octopus skewers from this lady? Consider it as a gift from me."
During the conversation, the two of them seemed to have gotten closer to each other. Yang Chen wasn't polite and reached his hand out to take the octopus tentacle string from Old Lee.
But at this moment, Old Lee's face, which was originally laughing, turned pale. His eyes revealed some panic as he looked at the direction behind Yang Chen. The octopus in his hand also dropped down.
