Chapter 792 I Believe in You
Chu Xue saw that he could handle it himself, so she didn't say anything. She lowered her head to eat the fish he brought over, and gave a comment: "This fish is really well cooked."
A chef who happened to be passing by heard it and said: "It's obvious that this little girl is an expert."
Chu Xue looked up and saw that the man was wearing a chef's uniform. She smiled and gave him a thumbs up: "It's really to my taste."
The chef was even happier when he saw her action: "Come over and try my braised lion's head someday. I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Chu Xue said in a flattering tone, "Okay, I'll definitely order one when I come back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't expect the woman who came to greet Fu Yancheng to say, "Flatterer."
Although the sound was very small, Chu Xue, Fu Yancheng, and even the chef who passed by her heard it.
The chef's face darkened immediately, but he didn't confront her directly. Instead, he went straight into the kitchen.
Seeing that Fu Yancheng no longer spoke to her, the woman had to turn around and leave to order food.
But when she went to the window to order, there were only vegetarian dishes, no meat dishes: "It's only what time, and they're out of stock?"
"If it's gone, it's gone." The waiter said in a firm tone.
The woman was so angry that she couldn't bear it: "Just wait for me."
After saying that, she didn’t order any food, just shook her braids and turned away.
As soon as she left, the chef poked his head out from the back kitchen and said, "You still want to eat meat dishes? You will die of deliciousness."
After that, he whispered to the waiter, "I'll give you some broth to take home after work, and mix it with rice for your children at home."
The waiter was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you, Master Tong."
Chuxue naturally heard their conversation. She looked over there and met the chef's gaze. Chuxue immediately gave him a thumbs up.
The kitchen man smiled at her and turned his head away.
Chu Xue then retracted her gaze and picked up the fish that Fu Yancheng had put in her bowl again: "Are you not going to explain?"
Fu Yancheng laughed: "I was wondering how long you would hold back before asking."
As he said this, he picked up another piece of Beijing-style shredded pork with chopsticks and put it into the bowl, then stirred the noodles in his bowl: "That person's name is Ding Runlan. She used to live in the same compound with my grandfather. When she was a child, she always followed us boys.
When she grew up, she liked to follow me more. Later, I don’t know who spread the rumor that we were dating, so I specially checked it out and found out that it was she who spread the rumor. Later, I avoided her whenever I saw her.
Later, our family moved out of the compound with my father. Not long after, she married a young man from the compound, and we never saw her again.
But her husband died some time ago, and I heard that she went back to her parents’ home. This is the first time I have seen her since she came back.”
What he didn't say was that he had never found a partner. Everyone thought that he couldn't accept the fact that Ding Runlan suddenly got married and couldn't get over it.
Although he explained it many times, they were like they were under a spell and no one believed him. Later, he simply stopped explaining.
Unexpectedly, this person came back in just a few years, and many people brought up the old matter again.
The reason why her mother asked him to get married so quickly was partly because Ding Runlan returned to the compound. Her mother was afraid that her son would have something to do with the widowed Ding Runlan again.
Chu Xue looked up at Fu Yancheng and asked, "You really didn't have any feelings for her at all?"
Fu Yancheng saw that Chu Xue was asking seriously, and fearing that she would misunderstand, he sat up straight and said seriously: "I have never liked her. Those rumors were all written and directed by her. If I tell a lie, I will be in trouble..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Xue stopped him with her eyes: "I believe you."
