Chapter 157: The original owner spent money and got humiliated
Ruan Yuntang was really speechless when Qiao Sujin forced him into the car.
But since she was already in the car, she had no choice but to go eat.
When they arrived at the state-owned hotel, the group of five got off the car.
Before getting in the car, Qiao Sujin insisted on calling the other members of Su Ye's group.
He Zhili left early and disappeared, and in the end Wen Huaiyu was dragged along.
Qiao Sujin waved her hand and said to Ruan Yuntang with great enthusiasm, "If you are unhappy today, you can eat whatever you want. Order first!"
Ruan Yuntang met her sympathetic eyes and decided not to disappoint her expectations. He nodded and followed the menu, ordering the most expensive dishes in a row.
Braised fish, pig's trotter stewed with potatoes, stir-fried meat, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried beef...
Qiao Sujin's eyelids twitched twice.
Ruan Yuntang looked at her stiff face with a smile and said sweetly:
"What's wrong? Is there nothing Comrade Qiao would like to eat here? Then I'll order some more."
"Yes, yes, yes, you ordered just right, they are all my favorites." Qiao Sujin hurriedly stopped him and forced a smile on her face.
"That's good." Ruan Yuntang smiled and handed the menu to Meng Haosi and Su Ye again, "Hurry up and order what you like, and don't be polite with your sister Su Jin."
"Otherwise, your sister Su Jin will be angry."
Qiao Sujin felt a tightness in her chest and wished she could stuff Ruan Yuntang's mouth.
Even with this in mind, she turned to the two of them and said generously, "Yes, Comrade Ruan is right. Go ahead and order."
Su Ye originally thought that it was enough and was about to shake her head, but Meng Haosi was worried that she was embarrassed, so he waved his hand and pointed to another row.
“…”
Qiao Sujin almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face.
Her expenses have been too high recently, so she first gave Ruan Yuntang 500 yuan, and then asked her family for money to invest in a factory. Now she relies on herself to earn some extra money and pawn some of her previous jewelry.
Now she has to eat steamed buns for a month.
Soon, ten dishes were served one after another.
The five of them ate ten dishes, which was a very impressive amount of food in the whole restaurant, and many people looked at them with envy.
"Hurry up, eat more, don't waste Comrade Qiao's kindness!" Ruan Yuntang greeted with a smile.
After saying that, she frowned again and said, "Today is a celebration for you. Wouldn't it be less interesting without some wine?"
When she said this, she was looking at Qiao Sujin.
Qiao Sujin laughed dryly, "Indeed, indeed, I didn't think it through."
As she said that, she turned around and called the waiter, who brought another bottle of white wine.
"I can't drink it, you guys drink it!" Su Ye waved his hands repeatedly.
Seeing this, Ruan Yuntang poured a full cup for Meng Haosi and Wen Huaiyu respectively. When he poured for Qiao Sujin, she shook her head with an unpleasant expression.
"I don't want to drink, you guys drink it."
She was unlucky enough that the restaurant had run out of cheap wine and only had one bottle of Moutai left, which cost her the last seven dollars.
She looked at the person opposite her angrily, but saw Ruan Yuntang put down the wine directly and asked with a smile:
"Comrade Ruan, why don't you drink? You've been worried about a lot of things lately, and this is a good opportunity to drink away your worries."
After these words were spoken, the table fell silent for a moment.
Su Ye and Meng Haosi immediately looked at Ruan Yuntang embarrassedly, their faces full of guilt.
Especially Meng Haosi.
He and Ruan Yuntang were in the same group, but now he was happily celebrating for Su Ye because he won the competition.
It didn't matter to him, but Ruan Yuntang did a lot for this selection.
"Sorry, I'll keep you company no matter how much you drink today." Meng Haosi immediately poured Ruan Yuntang a glass.
Ruan Yuntang frowned and pushed the wine glass away. "This matter has nothing to do with you, unless you really did something to let me down."
The others didn't understand what he said, but Su Ye and Meng Haosi did.
Meng Haosi immediately raised three fingers to assure, "I definitely didn't!"
Su Ye also tugged at the corner of his clothes, pursed his lips, and said embarrassedly:
"I...I admit that I was a little tempted at first, but I definitely didn't ask Meng Haosi for help in the end."
Ruan Yuntang glanced at Meng Haosi. This kid was a straightforward person and everything was written on his face.
He must have hesitated, but in the end he stuck to his principles, which is rare.
Ruan Yuntang raised the corners of his lips slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Qiao Sujin suddenly interrupted.
"Hey, you're all colleagues from the same factory. What's wrong with helping me? Comrade Ruan won't mind. She's not that petty."
Qiao Sujin looked at Ruan Yuntang with a smile.
Although she didn't know what they were talking about, she couldn't bear to see the celebration party she had held to win over Meng Haosi and the others become Ruan Yuntang's home court.
However, her self-proclaimed words were refuted by Su Ye, who was usually quiet.
"No, this isn't a matter of being petty. Those achievements belong to Comrade Ruan. I can't use Meng Haosi to get things done."
Her face was serious and her tone was firm.
Qiao Sujin was stunned for a moment and clenched her fists in anger.
I was speaking up for her, but she didn't know how to appreciate it.
But Ruan Yuntang now admired Su Ye a little and no longer regretted helping her and Meng Haosi before.
After the meal, Qiao Sujin did not continue to win over Su Ye, but chatted with Meng Haosi again.
Meng Haosi also returned to his usual playful smile because of her blessings to him and Su Ye today.
The two walked in front, Ruan Yuntang and Su Ye walked behind them, and Wen Huaiyu walked at the end.
Ruan Yuntang glanced at Su Ye's unhappy expression and whispered:
"Actually, if you're unhappy, it's best to talk to Meng Haosi. He's a man with a thick brain."
Su Ye looked at the two people in front of him who were punching each other with a pale face, pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay, thank you."
Then, she looked at the person next to her who hadn't shown any displeasure or sadness since the meal, and whispered, "Aren't you disappointed?"
"What are you missing?" Ruan Yuntang looked at her with a smile, "As long as I like my work, other people's opinions are not important to me."
Su Ye was stunned, looking at her in surprise, and opened his mouth as if wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing.
Forget it, maybe that "unique" perfume was just something she made casually.
"I really envy you." She said softly and sincerely.
Ruan Yuntang looked at her worried face and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he didn't say anything else.
After learning the original text, she realized that Su Ye was shouldering the heavy burden of reviving the family, and it was difficult to comfort him with just a few words.
Qiao Sujin turned around inadvertently and saw the two of them talking intimately. She frowned and waved to Su Ye.
"Xiao Ye, don't you and Hao Si still want to go to the movies? Go quickly!"
Su Ye's face turned red, and she glared at Meng Haosi before she said something to Ruan Yuntang and left with Meng Haosi.
Wen Huaiyu also said goodbye to Ruan Yuntang with a smile.
He didn't say a word during the entire meal, had almost no presence, and walked away quickly.
Qiao Sujin walked towards Ruan Yuntang. When passing by Wen Huaiyu, she glanced at him inconspicuously. Then, she looked at Ruan Yuntang, who was now lonely, with satisfaction and suggested:
"Tangtang, let me take you back to the family compound."
Ruan Yuntang avoided her hand in a distant manner and was about to refuse when Zhao Qiang's voice suddenly came from not far away.
"sister in law!"
