Thank you Shiqi!
In fact, she almost didn't recognize that the person sitting in the corner was Xie Shiqi.
She remembered that although Xie Shiqi used to be sloppy, he was also a dashing man and dressed very elegantly. But now, Xie Shiqi sitting there had messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and a scary scar at the corner of his eye.
She walked up to him.
Xie Shiqi was sitting in a corner of the guesthouse, drinking a cup of cold tea, trying his best to make himself less conspicuous. He felt very upset. His business, which had been thriving in the south, suddenly encountered a change, causing him to fall from the top to the bottom of the valley overnight. He became unkempt and even had a scar at the corner of his eye.
Just as he was trying to sort out his thoughts, Shen Anan came over. He was shocked. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, and it was Shen Anan. He subconsciously wanted to hide, but it was too late.
"Xie Shiqi? Is that you?" Shen Anan's voice sounded in his ears, with a hint of surprise and uncertainty.
Xie Shiqi raised his head and forced a smile: "An An, it's me, long time no see."
Shen Anan quickly pulled over a chair and sat down. She was so curious: "Shiqi, what happened to you? How...how did you become like this?"
Xie Shiqi felt so embarrassed, he didn't want Shen Anan to see him like this. He waved his hand, with a hint of bitterness in his voice: "It's hard to explain. There was a problem with the business in the south, and I went to deal with it. The result was... Oh, don't mention it!"
Looking at Xie Shiqi's miserable appearance, Shen Anan couldn't bear it any longer. What kind of person was Xie Shiqi in the past? He was the kind of person who could laugh even when he was beaten to a bloody pulp by a group of people.
"Shiqi, do you need my help with this matter?" Shen Anan asked with concern. She knew that Xie Shiqi was a capable person, and now that he had fallen to this point, he must have encountered difficulties.
Xie Shiqi shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his voice: "An An, I appreciate your kindness, but this matter... you can't help."
Shen Anan looked at Xie Shiqi, and seeing that he didn't want to talk about the past, she stopped asking. She changed the subject and asked why Xie Shiqi came to Wangjiazhuang.
"Then why did you come to Wangjiazhuang? This place is not close to Hecheng."
Hearing this, Xie Shiqi turned the teacup in his hand. His eyes were a little evasive, as if he was hesitating about what to say. After a long while, he finally spoke in a low voice: "An An, I...I came here to avoid the limelight."
Shen Anan was stunned, "Escape from the limelight?"
It seems that something really happened.
Xie Shiqi sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"In the south... I have made some enemies, and they are looking for trouble with me. I originally wanted to go to Crane City to hide, but they also know where I live in Crane City. There is no way, I can't go back to Crane City."
Shen Anan frowned after hearing this.
"So what are you going to do? If you need money, I can give it to you. The restaurant branch you opened with me before made a lot of money. I can give you a lot in dividends alone."
However, Xie Shiqi shook his head, with a hint of bitterness in his voice: "This is not something that can be solved with money. I don't know what to do now. I can only take it one step at a time. I originally wanted to hide in a place near Hecheng, but I didn't expect to come to Wangjiazhuang after a lot of twists and turns, and I met you."
Listening to these words, Shen Anan's confusion became even more serious.
Even money can’t solve the problem. What kind of trouble did Xie Shiqi get into in the south?
But she also knew very well that given Xie Shiqi's condition, he would most likely not tell anyone.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Anan looked at Xie Shiqi's miserable appearance and knew that he must have been traveling all the way and was exhausted. He probably hadn't eaten yet, so she asked the receptionist at the guesthouse if there were any good restaurants nearby.
"Sister, is there any good place to eat around here? I want to treat a friend to a meal." Shen Anan stood at the front desk and asked with a smile.
"Yes! Go two blocks ahead and there is a restaurant called 'Red Flower Restaurant'. The food is pretty good and the price is cheap. You can go and try it!"
The lady at the front desk responded.
Shen Anan thanked her elder sister, turned around and said to Xie Shiqi, "Come on, don't drink tea here, I'll treat you to dinner."
Hearing this, Xie Shiqi was stunned. He didn’t expect Shen Anan to be so enthusiastic. He wanted to refuse, but seeing Shen Anan's sincere eyes, he couldn't refuse anymore.
The two came to Honghua Restaurant and sat down in a corner. Shen Anan ordered a few signature dishes and asked for two bowls of rice.
During the meal, Xie Shiqi looked at Shen Anan and couldn't help asking, "Anan, why did you come to Wangjiazhuang again? Don't you care about the business in Hecheng?"
Shen Anan paused for a moment with the chopsticks in his hand.
She sighed and said, "I came here to find my biological parents."
When Xie Shiqi heard this, his expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Didn't you say before that you asked around, but no one knew where they went? Knowing this, why did you still want to look for them?"
Shen Anan nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I have decided, no matter how difficult it is, I will find them. I can't just not look for them if they don't show up, right?"
I don’t know why, but Shen Anan always has a premonition that she can find her parents.
If it doesn't work, she will make a birthday wish this year that she can find her parents. Let's take a gamble!
But in the past few years, she has also discovered that wishes are not fulfilled for no reason, and they all require initial efforts. Just like her last hope to open a branch of the restaurant, that was not achieved overnight, and a lot of effort in the early stages also accounted for a large proportion.
If I have to say what the use of my lucky star fate is, it is that some people's efforts may not succeed, but my efforts will increase the probability of success after the bonus of lucky star fate. Others may only have a 50% chance, but I have 80% to 90%.
As for other aspects, she didn't seem to notice much.
However, her parents-in-law often said that after she came to the Huo family, the Huo family began to prosper.
Shen Anan had reservations about this point. She thought that only when everyone worked together could life get better and better.
Just like the small ditch, isn’t it because everyone works together that their lives become better?
Thinking of this, Shen Anan looked at Xie Shiqi, "Also, although I came here to find my biological parents at the beginning, now it's not just about this. There has been a typhoon in the past few days, and all the crops planted in Wangjiazhuang have been destroyed. And when Shen Xiuxiu left, she caused a lot of trouble, and I have to solve these problems..."
Xie Shiqi looked at Shen Anan like this, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: “Anan, if…if you need help, just ask.”
Hearing this, Shen Anan smiled and nodded.
But she felt that something was wrong with Xie Shiqi...
