Pei Anan didn't know how to respond for a moment. She felt that Tu Ran's words were a bit rude, but it was indeed the truth.
When Tu Ran saw Pei Anan looking a little disappointed and unhappy, he realized that his words were too aggressive.
"I'm sorry, Sister An An... I didn't mean to do that. I just couldn't stand my ex-husband looking at you with such disrespect. It seemed like he didn't respect you at all."
Tu Ran lowered his head, as if admitting his mistake.
Pei Anan sighed and patted his head: "Okay, I don't blame you, you are right."
It turned out that outsiders could see that Lu Zhicheng had never respected her and only treated her as an object.
Pei Anan realized this and became even more disgusted with Lu Zhicheng.
"Alright, let's not talk about that insignificant guy. You're injured, go home first and come back when you're healed."
Tu Ran uttered an "ah", somewhat unwillingly.
Oh no, I've done more harm than good. Now I won't be able to see Sister An An for several days.
He looked at Pei Anan several times with some regret, wanting to keep her in his heart, and then said goodbye to Pei Anan and left.
Pei Anan helplessly looked at Tu Ran who was walking away.
I always feel like I have nowhere to hide in front of this young kid, and it's a bit embarrassing...
On the other side, Lu Zhicheng, who had just been scolded and left by Pei Anan, was in a very bad mood.
He couldn't understand why Pei Anan couldn't see that the brat did it on purpose.
Haha, Pei Anan is indeed a stupid woman. She left him when she was pregnant, and now she blames him wrongly!
Just at this time, I received a call from home.
"Zhicheng, where have you been? Shouldn't you be off work by now?"
It’s Lu Ma.
Lu Zhicheng was a little impatient. He didn't want to reveal his whereabouts in search of Pei Anan, nor did he want people to know that he had failed to date Pei Anan.
After all, in his heart, he was the only one who rejected Pei Anan, not Pei Anan who rejected him.
"Mom, I'm working overtime and will be back soon."
Mother Lu suddenly felt distressed: "Zhicheng, don't be too tired. Mom made you some broth. Come back and drink it quickly."
Lu Zhicheng frowned: "Why is it meat soup again, Mom? It's been this all week."
He kind of missed the time when Pei Anan was still around. The meals were different every day, and they were all very appetizing, not inferior to the chefs outside.
Mother Lu scolded: "I cook for you every day and you still complain. Some of the food is good. Now, when you get off work, go home quickly and don't stay outside for too long."
Lu Zhicheng hung up the phone impatiently.
If it were Pei Anan, she would definitely not say anything more, and would even be kind enough to cook new dishes for him the next day.
He became even more determined to get Pei Anan back.
As for Li Jing'er, she is so considerate and cares about him, so she will definitely understand him.
Lu Zhicheng thought happily and went home.
I happened to see Li Jing'er facing a table full of food, not knowing where to start.
"Zhicheng..."
When Li Jing'er saw Lu Zhicheng coming back, she felt as if she had seen a savior.
Lu Zhicheng asked: "What's wrong, Jing'er?"
Li Jing'er threw herself into his arms: "Zhicheng, let's order takeout. I want to eat the grilled fish from the restaurant across the street. We haven't eaten there for a long time. Zhicheng, do you want to eat it too?"
Lu Zhicheng pulled Li Jing'er away awkwardly: "Jing'er, it's not that I don't want to eat, but you know the current financial situation of our family."
Mother Lu also heard what was said and came out of the kitchen: "Jing'er, since you are already a member of our Lu family, you have to think about the Lu family too. It's not okay to always spend money on takeout. Didn't Mom teach you how to cook?"
Li Jing'er curled her lips and didn't want to look at Lu Ma.
"Zhicheng, I know you want to eat, right? Let's order. I haven't eaten food outside for several days!"
She shook Lu Zhicheng's arm coquettishly and refused to cook.
Lu Zhicheng said impatiently: "Jing'er, be good."
The next second, I walked to the table and saw familiar dishes.
He looked embarrassed.
"Okay, Jing'er, I'll do as you say this time, but I won't allow you to do that next time."
Mother Lu's face darkened a little: "Zhicheng, why did you let Li Jing'er do such a stupid thing?"
Lu Zhicheng lowered his head, looking helpless, as if he was putting all the blame on Li Jing'er and that it was Li Jing'er who was pestering him.
Li Jing'er and Lu Zhicheng ordered the dishes skillfully. Li Jing'er looked up and said to Lu's mother, "Mom, eat by yourself. Eat more."
Lu Ma's expression became increasingly ugly.
The next second, the phone showed that the payment failed.
Lu Zhicheng was stunned.
Although he hasn't received his salary for this month, he shouldn't be so poor that he doesn't even have money to order takeout!
Li Jing'er also grabbed the phone in shock and tried again and again, but the final result was still "payment failed".
"How could this happen, Zhicheng? Did you make a mistake? Try another card."
Li Jing'er said cautiously.
Lu Zhicheng's face turned grim. "The other one is a backup card. It's used to collect interest. It can't be touched."
What he didn't say was that, in fact, there wasn't much left on the other card because most of the money had been used to pay Pei An'an.
Li Jing'er's face turned pale.
"How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this."
"By the way, it's all because of Pei An'an, Zhicheng. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't be in this situation!"
