Chapter 91 Send him midnight snack

All the memories of the past came flooding back, An Ning's fingers trembled, and she tilted her head back to drink the wine in the glass.

"If that's the case," Song Xiaoyu looked at her, "your divorce certificate may still be with Lu Xiyan."

"Maybe even he's forgotten about it." An Ning pulled a smile from her lips, took out an opened envelope from her bag, and unfolded the note in her hand. She asked, "Xiaoyu, is this something you asked your landlord, Sister Chen, to leave for me?"

Song Xiaoyu looked at the note, smiled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "You left without saying goodbye, and I wasn't sure when you would return to Jinghai. I was moving at that time and was worried that you wouldn't be able to contact me when you came back, so I left you my address and contact information."

"Actually, I was very angry with you at first. I even thought you didn't consider me a friend, so I just ignored you."

Song Xiaoyu's voice choked. "But I couldn't bear to leave. You're my only good friend since childhood, and I didn't want to really lose contact with you. So I left the envelope. I thought if you still had a conscience and came back to find me, you would definitely be able to contact me with this note. If you don't have a conscience and don't come back, or if you don't remember me, then forget it."

Song Xiaoyu's words made An Ning burst into tears, and she kept saying "I'm sorry" several times.

"But didn't you move to Sucheng?" An Ning raised her hand to wipe away her tears and asked softly, "Why are you always in Jinghai? Also, when I called you, you said you owed money or something. What's going on?"

Hearing this, Song Xiaoyu looked away and looked at the clear alcohol liquid in the glass.

"Less than a year after you left Jinghai, my dad said he made some money doing business in Sucheng and was getting busier and busier. He didn't have time to go back to Jinghai often, so he decided to move the whole family to Sucheng and settle there."

"At that time, all my best friends were no longer in Jinghai..." Song Xiaoyu looked up at An Ning, her eyes red. "So I didn't feel reluctant to leave, so I decided to go to Sucheng with my parents."

"But within half a year of arriving in Su City, my dad's business ran into trouble." A faint sneer played on her lips. "There's no such thing as a free lunch. My dad was scammed, and in the end, he lost everything and was left with a mountain of debt."

An Ning's heart ached as she heard Song Xiaoyu continue, "At that time, our family had just bought a big house in Suzhou. We were enjoying a few days of good life, but then the house was gone, and the good life was gone... My dad was even taken away by the police."

Her tears fell into the cup, her voice choked with sobs, "I found out my father was sentenced to ten years without knowing anything else."

An Ning was suddenly startled and had difficulty breathing.

She quickly covered Xiaoyu's hand, "What about Auntie?"

"Leave."

An Ning was stunned, still trying to process the meaning of the word "go", when she heard Song Xiaoyu raise her tearful eyes and say, "She couldn't bear the blow and jumped into the river and drowned."

His eyes widened instantly, and all the blood in An Ning's body began to rush back.

She looked at Song Xiaoyu in disbelief, but saw a bitter smile on her lips.

"I couldn't stay in Sucheng anymore, and I didn't know where to go, so I had no choice but to return to Jinghai. I found a place where no one knew me, worked to pay back the debt, and wait for my dad to be released from prison."

An Ning recalled the work clothes Xiaoyu was wearing when she first entered the bar. She asked in a trembling voice, "So, you've been working here for the past few years?"

"I work part-time as a waiter and cleaner here, and I get two salaries."

Song Xiaoyu smiled gently and wiped the tears from her face. "So, An Ning, I actually blamed you too. When I was most helpless, my best friend wasn't by my side. I didn't even have the chance to complain to her. Tell me, how could I not blame you?"

An Ning's tears couldn't stop flowing. She held Song Xiaoyu's hand tightly, choking with sobs and unable to utter a word.

She deserves to die!

When she was desperate, Xiaoyu helped her without hesitation. But when Xiaoyu encountered all this, she hid in Jining City, cut off all contact with everyone and acted like a coward.

"I'm sorry..." She spoke with difficulty, her eyes red, "I'm really sorry..."

Song Xiaoyu held her hand tightly, "But I don't blame you now. At least I know you had your difficulties back then."

"Ningning." She smiled softly with tears in her eyes, her eyes sincere, "We are still best friends."

An Ning's heart ached, and she asked her, "How much do you owe? I'll help you pay it back."

Song Xiaoyu's eyes twitched, and he suddenly smiled. "It's not you who owes it, why should you help me pay it back? Besides, I have hands and feet, and the salary here is not bad. I can pay it back in a few years."

"Xiao Yu, I've experienced the feeling of being in debt." An Ning looked at her stubbornly, "We are friends, let me help you..."

"Ningning, I can still handle it. When I need it, I will ask you for help." Song Xiaoyu smiled gently, "You don't want to see me suffer, and similarly, I won't allow my best friend to suffer."

She gently wiped the tears from An Ning's face. "Your divorce from Lu Xiyan is not your fault, nor is it his fault. The problem lies with his grandfather. It was his grandfather who forced you to break up."

An Ning raised her eyes, tears glistening in her eyes, and heard Xiaoyu ask, "Ning Ning, don't you want to reconcile with him?"

She was suddenly startled, "Reconciliation?"

Song Xiaoyu nodded and said firmly, "Let's make peace."

"Since he didn't send you the divorce certificate, maybe this is an opportunity to reconcile." Song Xiaoyu smiled, "Maybe we can just take this divorce certificate and get remarried in the future."

An Ning was amused by her words and pursed her lips. It seemed that a decision was brewing in her heart.

Song Xiaoyu noticed her hesitation and continued to ask, "Have you been happy these past few years apart from him? If you were to get married and have children in the future, and have nothing to do with him anymore in this life, would you be happy?"

These words were like a sharp needle piercing An Ning's heart, causing her eyes to tremble violently.

She felt jealous for a long time when she saw Lu Xiyan and Cheng Wanwan custom-making their wedding dresses, let alone seeing him marry another woman in the future.

Thinking that she would have nothing to do with Lu Yan and would never meet him again in this life, she was so sad that she couldn't get through every minute.

Song Xiaoyu picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly to her rim, and told her firmly, "Be brave, Ningning. He deserves your courage for once. Don't leave yourself with irreparable regrets for the rest of your life."

......

Ten o'clock in the evening, Yuhe Mansion.

“Ding Dong Ding Dong——”

The doorbell at the front door rang hurriedly.

In the study on the second floor, Lu Xiyan had just finished an online multinational meeting and before he could close his computer, he was disturbed by a burst of chaotic doorbell sounds.

The internal call came in, and he pinched his eyebrows irritably before answering it.

"Master, it's Miss An." Li Quan's voice came from the phone, "She wants to see you."

"No." Lu Xiyan refused coldly.

Needless to say, she came for cooperation again.

He glanced at the wall clock and sneered. It was so late, and she was really dedicated.

"But..." Li Quan said hesitantly, "Miss An seemed to have drunk too much. She said she was bringing you some midnight snacks."
