Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At noon, Xiao Bai rode his bicycle to the gate of the paper mill and waited for Lan Shu to ‘get off work’.
He was wearing a black and white sports suit, and his inch-long hair covered his forehead. He was tall and had long limbs. He held the bicycle handle with one hand. Just by standing there quietly, he could attract the attention of everyone who passed by.
Such a clean, refreshing, and handsome young man seemed to be a little out of place in a small county like this.
Some local workers who walked out of the paper mill after work at noon saw him and even sighed. Which woman would be lucky enough to marry this handsome man in the future?
At this moment, not far away, Lan Shu and Zhang Yunjing walked out of the paper mill together.
Upon seeing the person he had been waiting for, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Bai’s originally calm and even cold face!
He immediately pushed his bicycle toward Lan Shu and stopped the bike in front of her. He asked softly, “Are you done with work? Let’s go.”
Xiao Bai was here to pick her up, so he only had eyes for Lan Shu. He even ignored the fact that there was another person beside Lan Shu.
This was Zhang Yunjing’s third time seeing the young man beside Sister Lan Shu.
The first time was in the county shopping mall. The young man had stood beside Sister Lan Shu and subconsciously shielded Sister Lan Shu behind him.
The second time was when the young man and Sister Lan Shu came to the paper mill together to see Factory Manager Zhu. She was the one who brought the two of them into the factory manager’s office.
And today, the young man came to pick Sister Lan Shu up from work.
After meeting him three times, the young man left an unforgettable impression on her!
His handsome face and the extraordinary aura he exuded made people subconsciously look at him, wanting to pay attention to him.
Zhang Yunjing didn’t know the relationship between Sister Lan Shu and the young man, but she could tell that the young man was very concerned about Sister Lan Shu.
Of course, Sister Lan Shu was also very good to the young man.
The relationship between them seemed to be gentle and soft, and it was slowly growing into something bigger.
Seeing that Xiao Bai was already waiting for her at the entrance, Lan Shu immediately said to him, “Sister Yunjing said that she wants to treat me to a meal…”
“Yes, I have to treat you to lunch today! Xiao Bai, come with us.”
Zhang Yunjing was very effective at handling situations. With just one sentence, she naturally got Xiao Bai to join them for a meal.
Hearing Zhang Yunjing’s words, Xiao Bai did not agree immediately. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Lan Shu and met her eyes, asking for her opinion.
He only listened to Sister Lan.
Lan Shu could tell what Xiao Bai was thinking. She looked at Xiao Bai and said softly, “Let’s have lunch together.”
She could not refuse Sister Yunjing’s kind invitation.
Xiao Bai nodded slowly.
…
The lunch venue was an old restaurant not far from the paper mill.
The restaurant’s predecessor was a state-owned restaurant. A year ago, the restaurant manager bought the restaurant and privatized it. However, the chef remained the same and the taste of the food was the same as before.
At the entrance of the restaurant, Lan Shu was waiting for Xiao Bai to stop the bicycle while Zhang Yunjing went in first to book a private room.
After the two of them parked the bike and walked into the restaurant, they were about to go to the private room in the backyard when they suddenly heard someone mention a name that caught their attention in the corner of the main hall.
“Yunjie, you’re too kind-hearted. That’s why you were manipulated by that b*tch, Lan Shu!
“That’s more than 300 yuan! And it all went into her pocket!
“Yunjie, you must treat me very, very well in the future. I want to be with you for a generation…”
Before Li Xiumei could finish her sentence, she noticed that Xu Yunjie, who was sitting opposite her at the dining table, had raised his head slightly and was looking at her with a surprised and guilty expression.
Not long ago, Xu Yunjie had calmed his girlfriend down. It was noon, so he brought Li Xiumei out for a meal.
He didn’t expect that while they were eating, they would actually meet Lan Shu and the young man who was always beside her who looked like he wasn’t to be trifled with. At the very least, Xu Yunjie knew he couldn’t beat them in a fight!
“Yunjie?” Li Xiumei still didn’t know what had happened.
Then, she heard a slightly familiar voice behind her.
“Xu Yunjie, tell me again. How much did you pay me back when we divorced? Was it just 300 yuan?”
As Lan Shu spoke, she stood in front of Xu Yunjie and Li Xiumei’s dining table with a faint smile.
Xiao Bai was right beside her. As long as Xu Yunjie made any unusual movements, he would be able to push him down immediately!
At the side, Li Xiumei suddenly turned around when she heard the voice!
The next second, she saw a woman in a white shirt and light blue jeans. Her long hair fell naturally to her shoulders. She was dressed simply and looked a little Western.
Li Xiumei was stunned. After taking a closer look, she recognized this woman to be Lan Shu!
The last time she saw Lan Shu in the mall, she still looked like a village woman. She was dressed in ill-fitting clothes and looked rustic.
After not seeing her for a few days, Lan Shu’s image changed drastically!
At this moment, she did not look like a villager at all…
Even so, Li Xiumei could not forget Lan Shu’s evil deeds!
She frowned. When she faced Lan Shu, there was disgust in her eyes. “What do you mean?!”
Lan Shu saw Xu Yunjie’s ugly expression and tightly shut mouth. It was obvious that he did not intend to explain. She sneered and then shifted her gaze to Li Xiumei.
“It seems that Xu Yunjie didn’t tell you the truth. When we divorced, I took 700 yuan with me. However, he didn’t give that sum of money to me. He was merely paying back what he owed my family.”
Lan Shu paused for a moment before she continued under Li Xiumei’s puzzled gaze.
“Do you think that the poor Xu family who sold him to my family could afford to pay for all his tuition fees for two years?”
Although Lan Shu didn’t go into too much detail, her words confirmed what the newspaper article said previously. Their marriage was just a tool that Xu Yunjie used to go to school.
Hearing Lan Shu’s words, Li Xiumei widened her eyes in disbelief.
At this moment, she realized that Xu Yunjie did not even stand up to refute Lan Shu!
Could all of this be true?!
However, it had only been a year since Xu Yunjie graduated. How could he have 700 yuan?!
Even all his salary combined was not enough!
Therefore, this countryside woman in front of her must be lying!
Immediately after, Li Xiumei heard Lan Shu ask Xu Yunjie…
“Xu Yunjie, have you paid off the money you borrowed from your colleagues in the factory? The expenses when dating isn’t small. Or is your new girlfriend so considerate that she doesn’t let you spend a single cent when going out on dates?”
“He borrowed money?!” Li Xiumei was stunned. Then, she turned around and looked at Xu Yunjie.
“Did you really borrow money from others? Are you in debt now?”
Li Xiumei couldn’t believe it!
In this era, owing money was not a small matter. People who owed money would be looked down upon!
Her boyfriend was actually that kind of person?
