Chapter Twenty-Two: Let's lay things out! This "settlement" is not the same as that "settlement"!
After the three arrived at the state-run restaurant, the menu was habitually handed to Rong Nanxi.
Rong Nanxi glanced at it and thought, "Hmm, it's unfamiliar!"
Then he handed it to Zhang Chenggong, saying, "You take it! I'm not sure which dishes are good!"
Fu Qingye silently withdrew his hand, which was halfway outstretched.
Zhang Chenggong was initially puzzled. Didn't Rong Nanxi eat at a state-run restaurant just a few days ago? How could she not know?
Now that I see this, I understand. It was probably done on purpose to provoke Ye Ge!
Who told Ye Ge to try and leave without saying goodbye!
This is really unfair to Rong Nanxi. She has just been reborn, and the last time she ate at a state-run restaurant was fifty or sixty years ago in her previous life!
She could never remember a thing!
So, in the end, Zhang Chenggong, under Fu Qingye's burning gaze, ordered two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a soup.
After handing over the menu, Fu Qingye took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Rong Nanxi.
"This morning, those fish sold for forty-seven dollars and seventy cents."
Rong Nanxi recalled what Zhang Chenggong had said that morning. Fu Qingye felt that she was selling fish to settle accounts, and he suddenly had a headache, unsure whether he should accept the money or not.
After thinking it over, Rong Nanxi decided to talk things out with Fu Qingye.
We can't keep sulking all the time.
If he continues to act out of spite, he'll end up in the army.
"Why do you think I sell fish?" Rong Nanxi suddenly asked.
Fu Qingye was a little unsure of what Rong Nanxi meant by suddenly asking this question.
Before Fu Qingye could answer, Rong Nanxi continued, "I'm saying this so that we can settle our scores!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Nanxi clearly saw Fu Qingye tense up and his thin lips purse.
"But this 'event' isn't the 'event' you think it is!"
Rong Nanxi stared into Fu Qingye's eyes: "I want to return that money to you, and then we'll get married and live a good life together!"
boom--
Fu Qingye felt his mind go completely blank.
He looked up at Rong Nanxi in disbelief.
She said she was paying back the money because she wanted to marry him and live a good life with him.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Fu Qingye's mind, finally settling on two figures. His initial surprise dissipated, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"What did Shen Yuanzhi and Lu Zirou say to you again?"
Rong Nanxi frowned: "What did you say?"
“They’ve arrived in Xinchuan County,” Fu Qingye said in a deep voice.
Rong Nanxi looked at him, "You saw it?"
"So what are you thinking about?"
Rong Nanxi stared at Fu Qingye, "Fu Qingye, I've said it many times, I haven't lied to you! And I won't pretend to be friendly with you because of Shen Yuanzhi, that wouldn't do me any good!"
"I have seen through Shen Yuanzhi's true colors and will no longer covet what does not belong to me. You don't need to worry!"
"I know I left a very deep impression on you before. It's okay, I'll give you time to accept it. If you're still like this when you come back from the military camp, then there's no future for us!"
Rong Nanxi was also angered, so she stood up, turned around, and left.
Stunned, Zhang Chenggong quickly stopped her, saying, "Sister-in-law, the food hasn't been served yet!"
Rong Nanxi glanced at someone, "I'm not eating! I'm too angry to eat!"
Watching Rong Nanxi leave, Zhang Chenggong looked at Fu Qingye and said, "Hey, Brother Ye, what were you thinking? Before, you were praying every day that Rong Nanxi would just glance at you!"
"She's looking at you now, why are you doing this?!"
Fu Qingye lowered his head, as if he had been abandoned, and spoke in a low voice.
"I... I just feel like it's not real."
Zhang Chenggong didn't understand: "What's unreal about this! Shen Yuanzhi forced her to have an abortion so that she would donate a kidney to Lu Zirou. No normal person could accept that! It's perfectly normal for her to change her attitude and decide to be with you!"
As Zhang Chenggong spoke, he placed the paper containing his conversation with Rong Nanxi from that morning in front of Fu Qingye, saying, "Take a look for yourself!"
"The reason your sister-in-law said she wanted to settle things with you wasn't something she made up to deceive you after meeting Shen Yuanzhi and the other man today; it's what she's always thought!"
Zhang Chenggong said with a look of utter disappointment, "Now that she's finally come back to you, if you can't hold on to her, don't come crying to me later if you regret it!"
As a soldier, Fu Qingye's five senses were naturally sharp. In the morning, he didn't dare to turn around when he heard the noise, but now that he saw the contents of this piece of paper, he naturally knew what the noise was.
"The food is here!"
Just then, the dishes arrived.
Zhang Chenggong looked at Fu Qingye, only to see him still staring blankly at the paper, as if trying to see a hole in it.
He sighed helplessly, "Stop looking, let's eat first!"
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Qingye suddenly snapped out of his daze. "You eat! I'm going to find her! Don't worry, I'll definitely be at the station to meet you before midnight!"
By the time Zhang Chenggong realized what was happening, he was already outside the store.
Zhang Chenggong was taken aback at first, then smiled with satisfaction.
This child is teachable!
Then I looked at the dishes... hehe, he got them all! So much meat, muah muah muah, so delicious hehe!
...
On the other side, after Rong Nanxi came out, she went to a second, more secluded restaurant for dinner.
She wouldn't let herself go hungry on her way home.
She had suffered enough in her previous life, and if she could live a more comfortable life in this one, she would definitely not force herself to suffer.
Inside the restaurant, just after the dishes were served, Rong Nanxi saw Shen Yuanzhi and Lu Zirou walk into the restaurant.
Upon seeing these two thorns standing between her and Fu Qingye, Rong Nanxi immediately lost her appetite.
She put down her chopsticks, looking utterly dejected.
When Lu Zirou saw Rong Nanxi, a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Why are there such scumbags everywhere!
After thinking for a moment, Lu Zirou stepped forward with a smile.
"Nanxi, you're eating here too! What a coincidence! Yuanzhi and I just spent a lot of money on clothes, so we had to cut back on other things. This state-run restaurant is in a remote area and the prices aren't too high, which is perfect for us. I didn't expect you to be here too."
"I've long heard that Nanxi is intelligent, and now that I've met her, it's true. She has a very strong logical thinking ability."
Shen Yuanzhi's expression grew increasingly grim as he listened to Lu Zirou's words. "Rong Nanxi, you knew we'd come here! You're still as shameless as ever, still chasing after me even though you have a child!"
Rong Nanxi: "???"
Because the food at this restaurant is affordable, it's always bustling with activity.
The restaurant fell silent the moment Shen Yuanzhi spoke.
Everyone unconsciously moved their chairs closer to Rong Nanxi.
Shen Yuanzhi took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Rong Nanxi: "Rong Nanxi, can you please stop bothering me?"
Rong Nanxi laughed in exasperation.
"Shen Yuanzhi, are you sure you want to slander me like this? Have you forgotten that you still need someone's help?"
"You're truly despicable! Even now, you still want to threaten me with Rou'er's matter!" Shen Yuanzhi sneered, "Don't worry about it, I have my own ways!"
Rong Nanxi smiled noncommittally and prepared to start eating.
But the next second, Rong Nanxi paused.
Shen Yuanzhi said he had his own way. Could it be that he had found a suitable kidney donor?
wrong!
If a suitable kidney donor had been found, Shen Yuanzhi and Lu Zirou would not be here.
Given the Lu family's level of concern, they will definitely urge Lu Zirou to get a kidney transplant as soon as possible.
That means it wasn't found.
If no suitable kidney donor was found, why are these two people here?
Rong Nanxi's gaze fell on the two of them, her right hand tapping absently on the table.
