Chapter 193 Local Specialties



The two chatted for a long time, and Chen Jiayi was very sleepy after sitting in the car for so long.

After chatting with Li Mo, she became more and more enthusiastic, as if she wanted to say everything she hadn't said in so many years in one go.

Chen Jiayi realized she had stayed up all night when she saw that it was already daylight outside.

She laughed and said, "I'm not chatting anymore, I need to go to sleep and rest!"

Otherwise, Chen Jiayi is afraid that she won't be able to help out at Chi Mengqiu's wedding in a couple of days because she hasn't rested well.

Chi Mengqiu nodded quickly, looking at Chen Jiayi apologetically.

"It's all my fault for forgetting to check the time and chatting with you for so long."

Chi Yan appeared once during this period, but only to bring them food.

The Chi family has very few servants, but a lot of bodyguards.

This is what Chen Jiayi observed.

The two went to wash up together, chatting from time to time.

They seemed to have returned to their former selves, when they were young and naive women.

Chen Jiayi and Chi Mengqiu fell asleep quickly in bed, basically falling asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow.

Chen Jiayi had a dream.

In her dream, she and Ding Haowen were husband and wife for a lifetime, and Ding Haowen came to see her before she died.

Ding Haowen is old, but he has taken good care of himself over the years and looks much younger than Chen Jiayi, who is exposed to the elements.

He looked at Chen Jiayi with disdain, speechless.

What do you want from me?

Chen Jiayi felt somewhat inferior and didn't dare to look Ding Haowen in the eye.

"Ding Haowen, could you please give me some money back..."

Years ago, Chen Jiayi lent Ding Haowen a lot of money, but Ding Haowen has never mentioned repaying the money over the years.

Chen Jiayi's voice was so low that Ding Haowen almost couldn't hear her.

Only then did he realize that Chen Jiayi was asking him for money. He looked at Chen Jiayi with a gloomy face, full of disdain and mockery.

"Chen Jiayi, what money? You gave me that money back then, haven't I given you money all these years?"

Ding Haowen's attitude was very condescending; he was no longer an ordinary research institute assistant.

He was already a senior assistant, considered a junior leader in the research institute.

Chen Jiayi choked up, finding it difficult to speak.

“Ding Haowen, I gave you a total of 789 yuan a few years ago, but you’ve only given me a little over 300 yuan in the past ten years. I’m still a few hundred yuan short. I’m sick now and need money. Can you give me some?”

The two were originally husband and wife, but Chen Jiayi's attitude in front of Ding Haowen was so humble.

Back then, Ding Haowen was the kind of person who was too embarrassed to ask Chen Jiayi for money.

Chen Jiayi noticed his predicament and offered to give him the money. Worried about hurting his pride, she simply said it was a loan and that he could pay her back later.

Although they are now husband and wife, they do not live like a normal married couple.

Chen Jiayi has to be so humble to get money for medical treatment.

Ding Haowen sneered, "Fine, I'll give you the money!"

He pulled out several hundred yuan from his pocket and threw the money directly at Chen Jiayi.

The money poured into Chen Jiayi seemed to have crushed her dignity as well.

Chen Jiayi's back problems are caused by long-term heavy work.

Now that she's sick again, she's bending over with great difficulty to pick up the money from the ground.

Ding Haowen, standing before him, wore a mocking expression and a sarcastic look.

Not far away is Ding Haowen's "good friend" Li Yuzhu.

Chen Jiayi was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. She bent down... and bent down again...

It's as if they've repeatedly trampled on their own bottom line of self-respect.

"Chen Jiayi".

"Chen Jiayi!"

"Chen Jiayi!"

Chen Jiayi was woken up. She looked up in a daze, and only when she saw Chi Mengqiu in front of her did she realize that what she had just been in was a secret realm.

She exclaimed "Ah!" and rubbed her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Chi Mengqiu looked at Chen Jiayi with some excitement.

"This must be your first time in Beijing, right? Let me show you around. Beijing is so much fun at night!"

Beijing is unremarkable during the day, but at night it becomes a place of endless revelry.

The dazzling lights and vibrant nightlife are captivating; one duck is worth eight.

Chen Jiayi was originally curious about what Chi Mengqiu was taking her to do.

When Chen Jiayi saw the very handsome duck standing in front of her, she sighed and facepalmed.

The man wanted to sit next to Chen Jiayi, and Chen Jiayi quickly moved her buttocks to the side, speaking stiffly.

"Um, I don't need it... You can leave now. Sorry!"

The duck looked regretful and slowly opened its mouth in a low, bubbly voice.

"Oh well."

Chi Mengqiu was surprised that Chen Jiayi refused, and looked at Chen Jiayi in disbelief.

"Do you know that this is a specialty of Beijing?"

Many wealthy women love this local specialty of Beijing, and quite a few people even make a special trip to Beijing just for it.

Chen Jiayi sighed, "He is indeed very handsome, but I am already married."

Chi Mengqiu pursed her lips, "So what if you're married? How do you know Shen Jialiang won't secretly hire prostitutes behind your back?"

Previously, "Miss" was a respectful term, but I don't know how it later came to mean "chicken."

Chi Mengqiu felt that calling someone a chicken was inappropriate, so she simply called them a young lady instead.

The private room was quiet for a moment, and Chen Jiayi's expression turned strange for a second.

"Qiuqiu, now that we're married, we need to trust each other. I believe he won't cheat on me with other women, and he believes I won't cheat on him with other men."

"Besides, if I found another man behind his back, what would that be? That would be cheating."
