Chapter 271
"Miss Xiaoqiu, you helped us order all the dishes for the birthday banquet yesterday. I was planning to buy ingredients today, but I was afraid that there might be something missing, so I wanted to ask you to go with me. Do you have time?"
Shen Wufan spoke very politely, giving people a very kind look.
Lin Ziqiu was worried about not having snail meat, so after thinking for a while he replied, "Okay."
The dishes at the birthday banquet included crabs and shrimps, but these were not sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives. The Shen family must have channels to get seafood.
Maybe we can ask them for help.
Shen Wufan had thought of a lot of reasons and excuses, but he didn't expect that it would be so easy to get the person out.
I almost didn't react.
Song Hui on the side was more alert. He immediately responded, "Shall we leave now? Have you had breakfast?"
Lin Ziqiu thought for a moment, "You need to wait for me for half an hour. My friends haven't eaten yet. I'm going to make something to eat first."
"Okay, no problem. Just do your thing and we'll wait for you."
Shen Wufan’s face was full of smiles.
Song Hui raised his glasses and asked shamelessly, "I wonder if I will have the honor to eat the noodles you made again. I still can't forget the taste of the last time."
Lin Ziqiu raised his eyebrows, thinking that he might need to ask them for help later. Everyone knows that people are more likely to be soft-hearted after eating someone's food. Now that he has fed them, they will be more willing to ask for help later.
"Can."
After receiving her consent, Song Hui raised his lips and smiled, "Thank you."
"Then you guys wait outside." After saying that, Lin Ziqiu turned and went to the kitchen in the backyard.
Shen Wufan leaned forward slightly and praised Song Hui, “You are really smart. I never thought that I could eat what she made here.”
"Xiao Qiu's cooking skills are definitely good. You'll know once you try it."
Song Hui moved a chair over and placed it next to his aunt.
Shen Wufan sighed, “The more capable she is, the more hardships she has endured… If I could have found Cheng’er earlier, it wouldn’t have happened…”
Song Hui comforted her, "Aunt, you have to look forward. At least now we have found Sister Cheng's child. This is a blessing in disguise."
Shen Wufan's heart tightened, and he nodded and said: "Yes... this is true..."
Not long after, Huang Bin got up. Tian Xiaofeng helped him wash up and then carried him downstairs.
Song Hui saw him and came forward to help in time.
Tian Xiaofeng thanked him, "Thank you! Can you help me move the wheelchair down from upstairs?"
"good."
Song Hui looked up at the stairs and ran up in two steps.
Huang Bin lay on Tian Xiaofeng’s shoulder, and when he saw Shen Wufan’s face clearly, he recognized her identity. He had seen it in Aunt Shen's photo album.
She is the eldest daughter of the Shen family—Shen Wufan.
It’s just that the old lady in front of me had a more graceful and dignified demeanor than in the photo.
···
Song Hui moved the wheelchair down and Huang Bin was helped to sit down.
He pursed his lips, feeling more wary and distant towards the people from the Song and Shen families.
Tian Xiaofeng is a very outgoing person and can chat with anyone.
Moreover, Song Hui tried to please him, so much so that the boy became friends with him.
"Brother Song, what are you doing here today?"
Song Hui explained: "We came here to invite your sister to go shopping for ingredients."
"Oh, my sister is in the kitchen. I'll go call her for you!"
Just as Tian Xiaofeng was about to leave, Song Hui stopped him and said, "We have already met her. We just happened to have missed breakfast, so we wanted to come and have a meal."
"Ah?" Tian Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. My sister is going to make snail noodles and pearl milk tea today! You are in for a treat!"
Song Hui and Shen Wufan looked at each other, they had never heard of these two things.
"What is that?"
Tian Xiaofeng himself didn't know at all, so he pretended to be mysterious, "You'll know when the time comes."
After saying that, he went to pour three glasses of water, told Huang Bin something, and went to the kitchen. When he left, Shen Wufan held the teacup, his eyes seemed to pass slightly over Huang Bin.
"I guess you are the little comrade from the Huang family!"
Song Hui had reported to her in advance the identities and backgrounds of the people who came with them this time.
Huang Bin clenched the teacup tightly, his eyes full of coldness. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair at the moment, the sharpness emanating from him did not diminish in the slightest.
"What do you want to say?"
Shen Wufan said calmly: "You and that girl from the Ruan family are together, right? Where is she?"
The reason why Huang Bin came to Su City this time was not only because Ruan Qing was coming, but more importantly because Shen Xiu was coming.
He was afraid that Shen Xiu would come here and suffer injustice again. He didn't have that much freedom when he was in the army before. Now it's a blessing in disguise. At least he can support Aunt Shen.
"Stop beating around the bush!"
“Young man, don’t be so impatient.” Shen Wufan’s eyelashes drooped, and his voice changed from the gentleness when he spoke to Lin Ziqiu to a much sharper tone, “I want to see Ruan Qing.”
Even though Huang Bin couldn't even stand at this moment, he still had an imposing manner and said in a very cold voice, "She is a complete stranger to you, so how can you see her whenever you want?"
Song Hui frowned unhappily, "Huang Bin, we have no ill will, especially towards Ruan Qing. We just want to know something from her."
No matter how stupid Huang Bin was, he sensed something was wrong.
"Are you investigating Lin Ziqiu? What on earth do you want to do?"
Song Hui said bluntly: "You don't need to know this. We are doing this for Xiaoqiu's own good. If Ruan Qing can help, our Shen and Song families will reward him handsomely."
As soon as he finished speaking, a contemptuous female voice came from upstairs.
"A generous reward? How much of a reward? You can't just say it with words."
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw Ruan Qing wearing a baseball cap and walking down the stairs step by step.
A hint of viciousness flashed across Shen Wufan's eyes, but he still had a harmless smile on his face, "You must be Ruan Qing girl!"
Ruan Qing walked behind Huang Bin, pushed his wheelchair to the side, moved a stool for himself, and sat opposite Shen Wufan and the others.
"If you want to ask for help, you must be sincere. You came here empty-handed?"
Song Hui said hurriedly: "We came here in a hurry today and are not well prepared, but as long as you are willing to help us, you can pay as much money as you want."
"Money?" Ruan Qing seemed to have heard a big joke. "Why don't you go and ask around first. Do I, Ruan Qing, seem to be someone who is short of money?"
She curled her lips in disdain, "It seems that you so-called scholarly families are just like this, so vulgar!"
Shen Wufan could see that this Ruan Qing was not someone who could be easily manipulated, so his tone softened a bit, “Miss Ruan Qing, if you have any requests, just let us know, and we will definitely not refuse if we can satisfy you.”
"Do you mean what you said?"
Ruan Qing became interested and raised his eyebrows, "Are you kidding me?"
