In her previous life, Ye Jin was pure and kind, but she was schemed against by her stepmother and stepsister, which led to her losing her eyesight and being forced to marry the neighborhood rogue.<...
"What are you going to do with these people?"
Gu Yan suppressed all his emotions and kicked a few thugs who had fainted at his feet.
"Why don't we send him to the Public Security Bureau?"
Ye Jin didn't want to let them get away with it, but he couldn't lynch them either.
"I'm afraid not."
Gu Yan touched his nose. He had just been too harsh on these people. If he sent them to the Public Security Bureau, although they would suffer a lot, he himself would probably not be much better off.
Ye Jin's mind worked quickly and he reacted quickly.
"You knocked him down, so what do you say we should do?"
"Forget it, you guys go back first, I'll have a good talk with them."
Gu Yan raised the corner of his mouth and had an idea in mind.
"Can I stay and watch?"
Ye Xiaoli blushed and mustered up the courage to speak.
Gu Yan's appearance was like a god descending from heaven, saving her from danger.
Ever since she was born, she had never seen such an imposing, handsome and heroic man.
"Can't."
Gu Yan refused without thinking, as he didn't like having outsiders present when he was doing things.
"I want to treat you to some noodles tonight, can we have a good chat?"
Ye Jin couldn't wait to know the whereabouts of her sister, but since Ye Xiaoli was here, she was too embarrassed to speak.
Gu Yan traveled thousands of miles for her and was exhausted from the journey, so it was natural for him to treat her to a meal.
"Okay, go to the guesthouse in town and wait for me. Just order whatever you want. It's my treat."
Gu Yan naturally knew what she was thinking. He smiled and nodded, indicating his agreement.
"Then I'll be leaving first and leave things here to you, or should I stay and we can solve this together?"
It is also inappropriate to just throw the troubles you encounter to others and walk away.
"Leave the things here to me. You can go to the guesthouse and rest first."
Ye Jin left, but Ye Xiaoli still stood there, reluctant to leave.
The two of them walked out of the alley slowly. Ye Xiaoli kept looking back until she could no longer see the tall and straight figure. Then she finally turned back.
"Jinjin, I just heard you call him Gu Yan, is that correct? Did you know each other before?"
Ye Xiaoli twisted her hands together, carefully choosing her words and asking cautiously.
"His name is Gu Yan, and we met once."
Ye Jin didn't want to say more. She had just been reborn and felt insecure. How could she entrust such an important matter as finding her sister to a man she had only met once?
"But you two look so familiar, like old friends who haven't seen each other for years."
Ye Xiaoli was still testing the waters, but Ye Jin treated it as a normal conversation and didn't notice anything unusual.
Although she has been married once, she has never been in love in her two lives. She is a person who does not understand feelings.
"No, we're not that familiar. Don't let that fool you. Your dad is very strict with you. You should go back now. I'll eat here first before I leave."
Ye Jin was ready to send Ye Xiaoli away, as she was eager to know the whereabouts of her sister.
"But, but, I've never eaten out before. I also want to go to the guesthouse in town with you to eat."
Ye Xiaoli mustered up great courage to say this.
"No, at least not today. Can I take you there next time?"
Ye Jin was a little anxious and her tone of voice was a little stiff, but she quickly reacted and adjusted her tone to ask gently.
"But I just want to eat today. I was frightened today, and I want to eat something good to calm my nerves. Please, please take me with you!"
Ye Xiaoli, who is usually easy to talk to, seemed to be possessed by a ghost and would not listen to anything Ye Jin said.
Ye Xiaoli looked at her eagerly, and her tearful expression was heartbreaking.
"Hey, if you want to go, go ahead!"
Ye Jin sighed helplessly, and Ye Xiaoli swept away her previous fatigue and danced with joy.
"I can eat delicious food now! I can finally eat delicious food!"
Ye Jin looked at the excited Ye Xiaoli, shook his head and chuckled.
There is only one guesthouse in the town, which is exquisitely decorated and bustling with people. It does very good business. It is said that there are several special dishes here, and everyone who comes to the town will try them.
Ye Jin had lived two lifetimes without ever enjoying life properly. He ate bran and vegetables every day. Even if he made money, it was only two more white flour buns.
This was her first time in such a high-end restaurant.
The two of them were about to go in arm in arm when they were stopped by the receptionist at the door.
"Gentlemen, this is a guesthouse. The minimum charge here is 10 yuan per person."
The receptionist's smile was sweet, but the words he said were hurtful. Ye Xiaoli was so angry that she stood up and spoke.
"Is 10 yuan a lot? Do you think we can't afford it?"
"10 yuan isn't a lot of money, but for a meal, many people would think it's too expensive and wouldn't be willing to spend it."
The receptionist still had a bright smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes.
At this time, another receptionist came back after seeing off the guests. Seeing the stalemate, he smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Nothing happened. I just wanted to go to the guesthouse for a meal, but I was looked down upon."
When Ye Jin turned around, she realized that they were still wearing their old clothes because they had been in such a hurry and had no time to change. Ye Xiaoli's face was covered with dust and she was wearing a green headscarf, which made her look very rustic.
She looked down at herself again and saw that she looked like a country bumpkin.
This is a bit embarrassing. No wonder others dislike them and look down on them wherever they go. We can only say that their makeup is too successful.
"Our guesthouse has no set threshold. No matter what social status you are in, you can come in and spend money. Come with me, I will take you in."
The receptionist was tall, with long legs and a particularly beautiful oval face. Coupled with her soothing tone, Ye Jin felt much better.
"Thank you so much."
Ye Jin followed with a smile, and Ye Xiaoli raised her head and followed in arrogantly. When she passed by the receptionist, she did not forget to snort coldly.
The receptionist was so angry at them that he gritted his teeth and cursed them secretly.
"Two poor bastards who can't even afford 10 yuan, what's there to be proud of? Peng Xiaoyan, you're bringing everyone to the guesthouse! You're really getting more and more outrageous!"
Ye Xiaoli looked unhappy, and Ye Jin frowned. She was angry but couldn't show it.
He just took out 10 yuan from his pocket and put it in Peng Xiaoyan's hand.
"Peng Xiaoyan, right? This is a tip for you. Thank you for your enthusiasm in bringing us in."
The receptionist at the door was dumbfounded. These two country bumpkins actually had 10 yuan and were willing to give it to Peng Xiaoyan as a tip. Isn't that too extravagant?
You have to know that although their jobs are prestigious, they only earn a little over 30 yuan a month, and very few people are willing to give tips. What kind of shit luck did Peng Xiaoyan have? How did she meet these two rich idiots?
"No, this is what I should do."
Peng Xiaoyan pushed the money back with a smile, and the receptionist at the door was so angry that his eyes were about to explode.
"Your family is so poor, why are you pretending to be so noble when you refuse the money you were given?"
