Chapter 269: Deliberate Distance, Secret Jealousy (Part 1)
Xie Dingyuan coughed heavily.
Jiang Fuyue withdrew her gaze and let it fall on his face.
But the man looked away, refusing to meet her gaze.
“…”
What's wrong?
Soon, the beef noodles were served, and it was the same flight attendant who served them.
"Please enjoy your meal."
Jiang Fuyue suddenly said: "Your voice is very special."
The flight attendant was stunned: "...Thank you."
"Professional?"
The other person shook his head: "I haven't learned it."
"Are you from Linhuai?"
"Um."
Jiang Fuyue seemed to be lost in thought.
Xie Dingyuan's eyes darkened again and again.
By the time I put the beef noodles in my mouth, the flight attendant had already left.
The two of them ate their own food and never talked to each other.
This quiet state continued until the flight landed.
Jiang Fuyue left her seat and stood in the aisle: "Thank you, Professor."
The man frowned, and this time, he had to look up and meet her gaze.
"I left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to thank you properly. Now that we've met today, I still want to say thank you."
"No need, it's just a small favor." He was stiff, cold, and somewhat unkind.
Jiang Fuyue didn't take it to heart.
First of all, everyone has different tempers. It is a fact that Xie Dingyuan helped her twice.
Secondly, she and he were not familiar with each other, and there might not be a next time after they met once, so why bother?
"Leaving now."
Jiang Fuyue turned and left. On the way, she took out her mobile phone, opened Xie Dingyuan's WeChat, and transferred 30,000 yuan to him.
He had previously offered her the ticket back to Linhuai, and Jiang Fuyue had agreed to pay her ten times the reward, which she had now paid.
Xie Dingyuan fell behind by two steps, and when he went out, the girl was nowhere to be seen.
He strode forward without looking around.
When he reached the arrival hall, Sheng Yiming sent a message saying that the car to pick him up was parked outside.
Xie Dingyuan walked through the crowd, suddenly stopped, and looked in a certain direction.
In an inconspicuous corner, Jiang Fuyue was talking to a man. The man was taller than her, so he lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his docile posture.
The man was none other than the flight attendant on the plane!
The straight uniform made him look even more handsome.
Xie Dingyuan's breathing suddenly became heavy, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"This is..." The flight attendant looked confused.
Jiang Fuyue waved the business card in her hand, motioning him to take it. "Your voice is very unique. You could consider starting your own media career. If you're interested, please contact this person."
The flight attendant took it and looked down. There was only one name on it - Wu Qian.
Below is a row of phone numbers.
There is no other information, feels like a scam.
"I……"
He was about to speak, but when he looked up, he saw that the girl had already walked away.
"team leader--"
"Sister Yue——"
Jiang Fuyue paused, looked up and saw a group of people rushing towards her.
There are Lin Shumo, Ling Xuan, Huo Fanjin, and Fang Canyang from the IPhO team, and Fan Ye, Gao Zhaoming, and Huang Hui from the IOI team.
"Did you guys make an appointment?" She raised her eyebrows.
Huo Fanjin: "No."
Gao Zhaoming also shook his head.
The two teams happened to meet at the door, and Jiang Fuyue was seen as soon as they came in.
Ling Xuan stepped forward and took the suitcase from her hand.
Fan Ye and Huo Fan Jin stood on the left and right, like two female Vajras.
Fan Ye grinned, her almond eyes round and bright: "Sister Yue, you are finally back!"
Huo Fanjin felt a little awkward: "Well... welcome back. You haven't been here for a few days, and no one has been able to concentrate on their homework."
A group of people surrounded Jiang Fuyue and walked out, both men and women, all laughing.
In comparison, Xie Dingyuan's side seemed particularly deserted.
He walked out the door, bent down and got into the car: "Q University."
After saying this, he stopped talking and began to close his eyes and rest.
…
Linhuai, Jiangji Pancakes.
"Old Jiang, you're finally back!" It was the owner of the liquor store across the street. "Hurry up, it's the same old three things. I was so greedy these days when you closed the store!"
Jiang Da immediately put on gloves and a mask, mixed up the batter, and started making it for him.
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"You know I feel sick if I don't eat your pancakes for a day."
"Just because of what you said, I'll give you two eggs today!"
"Wow! So generous? What good news happened?"
Jiang Da smiled innocently.
"Really? We've been neighbors for so many years, just share it! Let me be happy for you too."
"It's nothing, actually." Jiang Da wrapped up the pancake and handed it to him after making it. "I just changed my living quarters."
"Don't you live where you used to live?" The bar owner took an impatient bite. The heat made him grimace, but he looked very satisfied. "Oh my god, it smells so good! This is the taste!"
"Be careful, it's hot. Eat slowly."
"I'm telling you, there's no way I can slow down, and I can't." He gulped, sweat pouring down his face. "So where are you guys moving to now? Why did you just move like that? And why did you close the store a few days ago?"
Jiang Da took off his gloves and scratched his head. "My child is sick and has been in the hospital for a few days."
"Are you all right now?"
"It's okay."
"That's good, that's good... How's the new place?"
Jiang Da remembered his wife's advice and said, "The environment is okay."
"It's a lot of rent, isn't it?"
“…”Is there any rent for houses in Yutian Huafu?
After dealing with the man with a few words, Jiang Da went in to mix the batter.
Mrs. Liu was cleaning up the dishes and garbage left by the previous wave of guests.
At this time, Han Yunru came out of the kitchen. Seeing that there were no more customers, she suddenly said, "Sister Liu, come here. I have something to ask you."
"Hey!" Mrs. Liu quickly put down the work in her hands, lifted the curtain and went in.
"Yunru, what's wrong?"
"Come, Sister Liu, let's sit down and talk."
"I haven't finished cleaning up outside yet..."
"It's okay. There aren't many customers at this time. It's okay."
Only then did Mrs. Liu sit down.
Han Yunru pursed her lips, then smiled again and asked casually, "Why haven't I seen your son and his little brother come to the store recently?"
"You mean Yonghua and Xiaoliu? What kind of jobs did they get? They're busy all day and barely have time to sleep. How can they have time to hang out on the streets?"
A dark flash passed through Han Yunru's eyes. "Have you found a job?"
"Yeah, he's finally stopped being idle. He even picked up some management book and read it recently. He flips through a few pages every night. He even told me that if I don't study, I'll fall behind. I was so scared that I thought the sun had risen in the west. But this brat finally knows how to make progress."
Han Yunru nodded as she listened: "That's good, what kind of work do you do?"
"I think he's in charge of a bar. I forgot which bar it was, but it was in English."
"Is that so..." Han Yunru seemed to be lost in thought. "Then have they done anything strange recently?"
Mrs. Liu was puzzled.
"For example, suddenly becoming very generous? Or emotionally unstable? Or yawning or having a runny nose?"
"Although Yonghua and Xiaoliu have found new jobs, they haven't yet passed their probation period, so their income isn't high, and they can't be generous even if they want to. However, these two guys have always been very filial to me, and are willing to buy me things even if they don't have money."
"Emotionally unstable... not really. Although my son is a big guy and looks fierce, he never loses his temper at home. He only occasionally argues with his younger brother, but it's always in a playful way."
"As for the runny nose and yawning... the weather hasn't been great lately. I've already reminded them to put on more clothes, so they shouldn't catch a cold."
Han Yunru nodded: "That's good."
If you listen carefully, you can see a sense of relief in this sentence.
If he didn't get rich quickly, it means he wasn't involved in any illegal activities that make money quickly.
Being emotionally stable and physically healthy means you are not taking drugs.
As long as these two points were confirmed, Han Yunru felt relieved.
"Yunru, you haven't told me what you want to talk to me about yet?"
"Oh, among the flour delivered yesterday, there were three bags with incorrect production dates..."
Ten minutes later, Mrs. Liu left the kitchen.
She thought it was some big deal, but luckily, it was just a minor problem.
When Jiang Da saw her come out, he went in immediately and saw his wife standing in front of the vegetable washing basin in a daze, with the water still running.
"Wife..." Jiang Da called her.
"Huh?" Han Yunru reacted, "Ouch! It's overflowing..."
Turn off the faucet quickly.
She couldn't count how many times this had happened. These past few days, whenever she was alone, she would stare blankly like this, and no one knew what she was thinking.
When asked, she always shook her head.
Today, when Jiang Da saw Mrs. Liu being called in, he finally understood—
"Wife, are you worried about Yueyue?"
Han Yunru's eyes tightened: "You..."
"Don't hide it. I was just a little slow to react, but I'm not stupid. When Yueyue was here, you pretended so well that I didn't notice. Now that Yueyue is gone, you don't even bother to pretend. You just write the word 'worry' on your face."
Han Yunru pursed her lips.
"Since you're worried, why don't you just ask clearly once and for all?"
