Being cheated on
For several days, Wen Jingzhao had not returned and no one knew what he had done. Only occasionally Li Bin or Zhang Chao came back to say hello to He Yingchun and then left in a hurry.
"Yingchun, do you know how Madam Wang is doing recently?" Li Bin suddenly asked while helping to clean up the dishes.
He Yingchun only knew that Wang Niangzi lived with her brother and sister-in-law after her divorce, but she was not very clear about her current situation.
"I met him twice a while ago, and he looked fine." Seeing Li Bin's concern, she smiled. "If you want to see him, you can go to the wood shop. It seems that Wang Niangzi is in the timber business, and she occasionally goes to help out."
Li Bin nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "Okay, thank you very much." He helped wash the dishes and left in a hurry.
"Two more tables have arrived, and they all want fried chicken." "Okay!"
Mama handed the menu to He Yingchun and said, as if inferring, but also teasingly, "Could this boy be interested in Lady Wang? He ran away so fast, like a young boy."
He Yingchun shrugged and said, "Maybe." Madam Wang was honest, and Li Bin was a simple and kind person.
"Hey, Boss Heng is here again and is waiting outside. Why don't you go and greet him?" Mom said to He Yingchun. Heng Yusheng came every few days, and Wen Jingzhao didn't come back. Mom was not sure what was going on between the two of them.
She hesitated and said, "Yingchun, Boss Heng has been coming here so often these past two days. Is there something wrong?"
He Yingchun paused and nodded slightly, "Yes, there are some things."
"It's about the new dishes, right? Let's go!" Mom breathed a sigh of relief, hoping she was overthinking it.
"good."
"I'm here." He Yingchun nodded to Heng Yusheng and poured her a cup of tea first.
"It's a bit early. I guess I have to wait until there are fewer people before I can greet you." He Yingchun asked her to see what she wanted to eat first.
Heng Yusheng called her, "Yingchun." She didn't call her Boss He, but called her by her name. "Although I don't really agree, I promise you, no reward required, just consider it as making a friend."
He Yingchun's hand trembled, and the water in the teapot flowed out of the cup and touched her fingertips. He Yingchun ignored it and stared at Heng Yusheng, "Are you serious?"
Heng Yusheng nodded, "Really."
The noodle shop was noisy, and the vague words were not heard clearly. He Yingchun smiled slightly and handed the water to Heng Yusheng, her voice choked with sobs, "Thank you."
She poured herself a cup of tea, and the cup walls made a crisp sound when they hit each other. He Yingchun used tea instead of wine, tilting her head back and drinking it all up. She was just drinking tea, but she had an inexplicable determination in her heart.
Heng Yusheng drank the tea in the cup. After the warm tea went down her throat, she felt a little hesitant. Was it right or wrong to help?
A few days ago, He Yingchun found her and wanted her to do a favor. She could help guide the dishes launched by Jiang Yuelou free of charge, and Heng Yusheng would pretend to be her suitor for a while. She would agree at the right time and break up at the right time, which would not exceed one month.
Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous, this was Heng Yusheng's first reaction. She even felt that He Yingchun had read too many storybooks and had become possessed.
There was a man who came with her before. They looked intimate and looked like a couple. Could they have had some conflict?
Heng Yusheng found it funny again when he thought of this. He had thought that although Boss He was young, he could cook well and with great skill, but he didn't expect that he was so immature.
"Let me think about it." But Heng Yusheng didn't completely refuse, mainly because the condition of teaching you how to cook the dishes was a bit tempting. She asked again, "I remember there was a man who came with you before. I think his last name was... Wen?"
He Yingchun nodded and said what she had prepared. "Indeed, he...he's getting married to someone else, and he...want me to be his concubine." After she said that lie, the rest flowed much more smoothly. "I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to vent my anger."
"They're just trying to use me as a cover." She lowered her eyes in thought, "This is a matter concerning my reputation. I need to think about it."
Heng Yusheng weighed it over and over again. If she agreed to He Yingchun, then it would be a deal. But if He Yingchun didn't need to pay her anything and just helped her for free, then she would owe him a favor.
Even if she didn't say it explicitly, if Heng Yusheng asked He Yingchun for help, the other party would definitely not refuse. Correspondingly, even if her cover was not done well, there was nothing wrong with it.
As the saying goes, all businessmen are dishonest. Her calculations were clear. Both parties had their own purposes, and in this way they reached a consensus.
Thus, an absurd agreement was finalized in this bustling little noodle shop. It was simple, quick, and everyone had their own thoughts.
…
"Hey, let me tell you something. Your young wife has been very close to that Heng from Jiang Yuelou these past few days." Zhang Chao and Wen Jingzhao were tracking the other bandits. They sat in a teahouse, drinking tea and talking, but their eyes were always alertly staring at their surroundings.
"Did you see it?" Wen Jingzhao poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly, then looked up at the second floor of the teahouse.
"I saw them, chatting and laughing. They looked so happy." Zhang Chao had seen Heng Yusheng helping out at the noodle shop twice. "Someone called him boss, and he responded. I saw your wife didn't object. I wonder if she thought they were from the same family."
Wen Jingzhao put down his teacup and slammed it on the table with a "dong" sound. "Watch your mouth."
"I'm not lying." Zhang Chao muttered. The two of them seemed to have a close relationship.
"Have you made sense of it to the adults?" he asked Wen Jingzhao. He hadn't seen Ma Tongguang since that day. Some soldiers, after drinking, said that Wen Jingzhao had fallen out of favor with Ma Tongguang. He kicked each of them, saying that Wen Jingzhao had fallen out of favor with Ma Tongguang and that they would gossip about him just because he had lost his favor.
"No." Wen Jingzhao shook his head. The main reason was that Ma Tongguang refused to see him and turned him away.
Zhang Chao sighed, "Oh, what a mess."
After a few cups of tea, Zhang Chao said, "Put some water in there."
Wen Jingzhao stared at the second floor, "Is your information reliable?"
"But... it's reliable, right?" Zhang Chao asked someone and found out that several people were discussing something here. The waiter accidentally heard the conversation and heard about something like the boss, the second in command, officers and soldiers, and there were some problems.
"Shh." Wen Jingzhao held his arm, glanced at the second floor, and winked at Zhang Chao, asking him to be quiet.
Zhang Chao reacted quickly and said while picking up some dishes, "This is a bit salty..." His eyes also looked towards the stairs to the second floor. Three people walked down from upstairs in a swaggering manner. One of them had a scar between his eyebrows, and looked very much like the bandit described by Lin Shuang'er.
The scarred man looked around vigilantly and said, "Hurry up!" He urged the two people behind him and walked out of the door quickly with fast steps.
“Follow me!”
"Chase!"
The two said in unison, Zhang Chao left the money, "Check out!"
The two followed the three men, not too far away. The scarred man was extremely observant and quickly glanced behind him.
Wen Jingzhao and Zhang Chao randomly found a small stall and pretended to buy something. "They seem to be holding rice?"
"It should be taken back for the others. We should be able to find their residence by following them." Wen Jingzhao whispered, "We need to keep a close eye on them. Where are the others?"
Zhang Chao made a gesture, and several civilians in plain clothes followed him. "Stay here."
"You two, are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't touch it!" The bearded man had been staring at the two men for a long time, muttering to himself, and they were touching his perfume powder here, and it got dirty.
Wen Jingzhao looked up and saw that it was an acquaintance.
"Let's take a look first." He put down the perfume and continued to chase the three people with Zhang Chao.
The bearded man wiped the powder cover with a rag and said, "Tsk, poor bastard!"
The three men entered a clinic. Zhang Chao winked and asked a disguised soldier to follow them in.
Zhang Chao and Wen Jingzhao had just shown up in the teahouse, so it was not convenient for them to go into the clinic at the moment, so they pretended to stroll around outside. Coincidentally, this place was not far from the noodle shop.
"Hey, hey, look, what am I saying!" Zhang Chao pointed at the entrance of Xiyingchun Noodle House.
He Yingchun and Heng Yusheng were at the door. They were chatting and laughing happily. Heng Yusheng was helping to set up the tables, chairs and benches, while He Yingchun was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
The weather has been good recently, and there are too many people at noon to sit everywhere, so He Yingchun just made a few new tables and chairs and delivered them to us, so they can be placed outside.
"I think I saw your unfaithful man. Don't look at me. Just pretend to wipe my sweat." Heng Yusheng narrowed his eyes and felt a chill on his back.
He Yingchun paused when she heard that, took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her sweat. It was hilarious that there was no sweat on Heng Yusheng's forehead at all, and instead it wiped off some of her thick eyebrows. He Yingchun pursed her lips and quickly put the handkerchief back into her bosom with a guilty conscience.
"Why are you staring at me?" Heng Yusheng touched his forehead.
He Yingchun shook her head. "It's okay." Her eyes lingered on her eyebrows. Fortunately, not too much was rubbed off. "What else can I do?"
"You can touch my shoulder and cover your mouth with your hands and smile... Don't you understand this?" Heng Yusheng whispered.
He Yingchun covered her mouth and laughed, "You still understand."
It is convenient to talk business at the dinner table, so some people will inevitably ask some singing girls to accompany them. Heng Yusheng is naturally familiar with their routines after seeing them many times.
Heng Yusheng taught them a few more postures, and then the two of them entered the room.
"It should be okay, right?" Heng Yusheng had never done this before, and it felt pretty good. She rubbed He Yingchun's soft shoulders and asked.
"Should... be okay, right?"
It's not just possible, it's crazy!
Zhang Chao held Wen Jingzhao tightly, "Don't be impulsive."
Wen Jingzhao pursed his lips, frowned, and his eyes were fierce. The sharpness between his eyebrows increased several times, and his face became more gloomy, as if it was ice. "Let go."
Wen Jingzhao's hand was so strong that it felt like it could pull a cow. Zhang Chao didn't dare to let go. He lowered his voice and said, "We still have a mission to complete. Let's not ruin the whole thing for a fickle woman."
Wen Jingzhao shook his hand off. He stared at Zhang Chao with a sharp and stern look. "Zhang Chao, I'll say this one last time. Watch your mouth."
Grass, who is being cheated and still protecting it?
Zhang Chao cursed in a low voice, "I am doing this for..."
"They're coming out, chase them!" Wen Jingzhao looked towards the entrance of the clinic from time to time. When he saw three people coming out, he followed them immediately.
Zhang Chao was still standing there in a daze, but the other man had already run away. Damn, Zhang Chao gritted his teeth, didn’t you look so angry that you wanted to rush up and beat up the adulterer just now? You still remember to do your mission!
