Chapter 307: Help her pay the bill, a touch of warmth (3rd update)
"Hmm?" Shen Qiannan had originally walked a little forward, but upon hearing this, he stepped back, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly."
Xie Dingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly, "Nothing."
Shen Qiannan stared at him suspiciously.
The latter looked back indifferently.
"You're pretending! Keep pretending! You must be hiding something from me."
Xie Dingyuan: “No.”
"Then why did you take the initiative to pay the bill just now?"
“…”
"You're never that generous!"
…
On the other side, Jiang Fuyue finished eating and went to pay the bill, but was told that it had already been paid.
“Who paid for it?”
Cashier: "It's a gentleman."
Jiang Fuyue frowned: "What does he look like?"
"He's very handsome and tall, and he's wearing a suit."
A person suddenly appeared in my mind, him?
Jiang Fuyue: "How much is it in total?"
"Let me see... including the table charge and the drinks, the total is five hundred and sixty-two."
"Thanks."
A group of four returned to University B.
Jiang Fuyue didn't have a dormitory here, so she simply booked a room in a nearby hotel.
That night, she finally had time to contact her parents and Jiang Xiaodi.
Jiang Da answered the phone——
"Yueyue!"
"dad."
"Hey! Have you returned home? Where are you now? When are you planning to come home? Your mom keeps nagging me all day. I want to call her, but I'm afraid it'll affect your competition, so I've been holding it in..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" At this time, a gentle voice interrupted, and Han Yunru took over Jiang Da's position.
"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense, how can it be so exaggerated?"
"That's how it is..." Jiang Da muttered.
Han Yunru gave him a look and he immediately shut up, with a hint of flattery in his silly smile: You say, you say, I won’t say anything.
Jiang Fuyue: "Mom, how are you doing lately? Are you used to living in this house?"
"I'm used to it. It's just that this is such a big villa, and with only the three of us, it feels empty."
Jiang Fuyue curled her lips: "When I come back, it won't be empty anymore."
"Yes, I've been waiting for you. Come back and mom will make you something delicious. You can eat whatever you want."
Jiang Fuyue: "I suddenly want to eat the pancakes my dad makes."
"Oh, you only want your dad's share, not mine?"
Jiang Fuyue: “?”
"No... I didn't mean that. I..."
"Pfft..." Han Yunru couldn't help but laughed out loud, "Silly girl, I was just teasing you, can't you hear it? You took it seriously."
Jiang Fuyue's mouth twitched. Even her beautiful mother could be naughty sometimes.
"If you have any problems, remember to contact the property management, they will help you."
Han Yunru sighed softly: "I know, I already told you when you left."
Yeah?
Jiang Fuyue touched his nose.
"Sister—is that you, sister?" Jiang Xiaodi's voice came from the other end, approaching from afar, accompanied by the sound of slippers slipping on the floor.
"Oh, go slower, be careful not to fall... Your sister is right here, she won't run away..."
Soon, the phone reached Jiang Xiaodi's hands: "Sister! Sister! Are you going home?! Dad and I are here to pick you up!"
"We'll have to wait a few more days."
The other end instantly became depressed: "But school will start in a few days..."
He won't be able to stay with his sister when school starts.
Jiang Fuyue: "That's perfect, we can go to and from school together."
The junior high school and high school departments of Linnan No. 1 Middle School share the same campus, and Jiang Xiaodi was promoted to the first grade of junior high school at the beginning of the school year.
yes!
How could he forget!
Jiang Xiaodi was immediately excited: "Great, great! Then I can see my sister every day! So happy~"
"Is it happier than eating?" Jiang Fuyue teased him.
The other end didn't think twice: "Yeah!"
Finally, the time was almost up, and the phone returned to Han Yunru's hands——
"Yueyue, the news of you winning the award has spread all over Linhuai. The pancake shop has been very busy these days. There are so many people coming in that the shop can't accommodate them all. I'm afraid of any safety accidents, so I discussed it with your father and decided to close the shop."
"But a lot of reporters still called us, inviting us for interviews and so on. Because you had informed us before, your father and I declined. They even came to the residential complex, but the security guards wouldn't let them in, so it was a lot quieter."
Jiang Fuyue frowned and asked, "Have you found the community?"
"Um."
"I'm sorry, I..."
"Silly girl!" Han Yunru was surprised. "What are you talking about? Why would you even need to say 'sorry' in front of your parents? Besides, what are you sorry for? You're so outstanding and so hardworking, how could you be wrong?"
Jiang Fuyue just said it casually, but the guilt was real.
This is also an important reason why she does not accept interviews and wants to keep a low profile as much as possible.
She could handle becoming famous overnight, but Jiang Da and Han Yunru might not be mentally prepared for it.
You have to give them some time to adapt.
Just like that villa, you may not be used to living there at first, but after a while, don’t you gradually try to accept it?
Han Yunru: "...You have no idea how much people around us envy your dad and me. Remember that fat guy from the liquor store across the street? Not only does he eat a pancake every day, but he also packs one for his son to take home, saying it's one his genius sister has been eating since she was a child, and if he eats it, he'll become a genius too! Haha... Isn't that funny? How can a genius be made by eating pancakes?"
Jiang Fuyue also smiled.
The mother and daughter spoke a few more words before ending the call.
Jiang Fuyue put down her phone, leaned on the railing, and looked sideways at the moon in the sky.
The night wind was cool, but a faint warmth was brewing in her heart.
…
Under the same moonlight, the Xie family’s old house.
Bedroom on the second floor.
There was the sound of running water in the bathroom, but no trace of hot steam came out.
Three updates, two thousand words.
