Zhuang Zhenghong and his son Zhuang Wen were taking a walk when they arrived at the front of a hot pot restaurant.
Zhuang Wen looked up at the gleaming golden plaque with a strange expression.
Because this hot pot restaurant is the one that he and Tang Xin often eat at.
Tang Xin has a strong preference for this hot pot restaurant.
Zhuang Wen, having previously been fond of the restaurant, also liked it.
But now he has no feelings for Tang Xin anymore, so naturally he feels indifferent to this hot pot restaurant as well.
"What's wrong? Is this hot pot restaurant not good?"
Seeing that Zhuang Wen's expression was a bit stiff, Zhuang Zhenghong couldn't help but say curiously, "If it's not good, then forget it and let's go to another place."
"All……"
Zhuang Wen was about to speak when his voice abruptly stopped.
He looked ahead.
Two beautifully dressed women walked out of the hot pot restaurant.
Upon seeing the two women, both Zhuang Wen and Zhuang Zhenghong were momentarily stunned, but quickly regained their composure.
Zhuang Wen, in particular, remained completely expressionless, as if he had seen a complete stranger.
Although one of the women was his ex-girlfriend, Tang Xin, the other was her best friend, Jiang Yuanxin.
They were all acquaintances.
But that was in the past.
Now, they are all strangers, and there's not even a place for them to look at them.
I won't go into Tang Xin's story.
Her best friend, Jiang Yuanxin, made things difficult for Zhuang Wen a lot during college, even though she did so with Tang Xin's permission in many cases.
It can be said that Jiang Yuanxin's torment of Zhuang Wen was simply unbearable to witness.
If she weren't Tang Xin's best friend, Zhuang Wencai wouldn't bother with her.
However, none of that matters now.
"Zhuang Wen, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yuanxin was wearing a white short skirt, with a good figure and dressed like a cold goddess. But when she suddenly saw Zhuang Wen, she couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes wide with surprise, and her cold temperament was completely destroyed.
“Zhuang Wen…”
The woman in the black dress beside her, Tang Xin, had her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhuang Wen's face, filled with surprise, joy, love, and of course, disappointment and sadness.
From the moment she first saw Zhuang Wen, she couldn't take her eyes off him. Everything around her disappeared from her sight, and she could no longer accommodate anyone else.
Zhuang Wen glanced at it briefly before coldly withdrawing his dark eyes, his expression calm.
Upon seeing this, Tang Xin felt a sharp pain and her heart clenched.
"Xinxin, let's go..."
Just then, a deep, magnetic male voice gently rang out from inside the hot pot restaurant, followed by a young man pushing open the door and walking out.
He had a happy smile on his face.
But when he saw Zhuang Wen standing in front of him, the smile on his lips froze, then vanished as quickly as the tide: "Zhuang Wen?!"
His voice broke out, rising several octaves involuntarily.
Liang Shang!
Tang Xin's male best friend!
Clearly, Tang Xin is still in contact with her male best friend.
This is completely unlike what Zhuang Zhenghong said: Tang Xin came to the house this afternoon and said that she and Liang Shang had cleared things up and hoped that Zhuang Wen would forgive and forget...
Zhuang Wen glanced at him, his expression remaining unchanged, then looked at Tang Xin with a cold laugh in his heart: Ha, a habitual liar.
Tang Xin's eyes were filled with panic and confusion, and her face turned deathly pale.
"Forget it, I don't want to eat here anymore. Let's go to another place."
Zhuang Zhenghong then realized what was happening, pulled Zhuang Wen aside and smiled, and took a deep look at Tang Xin and Liang Shang standing next to her.
"Dad, if you want to eat here, then we'll eat here. The hot pot here is pretty good; I used to eat here often."
Zhuang Wen turned to look at Zhuang Zhenghong and smiled. His expression was very calm, and there was no sign of anything unusual about him.
Zhuang Zhenghong carefully looked at Zhuang Wen, whose face was expressionless.
Only then did he realize that his son had truly let go of his previous relationship and begun to embrace a new life and new love.
Although he understood that Zhuang Wen had completely let go, for some reason, after watching Tang Xin and the man and woman beside her walk out of the hot pot restaurant, and recalling how Tang Xin had cried her eyes out and begged him incessantly that afternoon, he felt that he had no appetite at all just looking at the hot pot restaurant.
He smiled and said, "Let's come back another day. I just don't want to eat hot pot tonight."
"good."
Zhuang Wen nodded and did not force his father to go inside.
After all, if he really looked closely at this hot pot restaurant, he felt a little nauseous.
"Walk."
Zhuang Zhenghong and Zhuang Wen turned around cleanly and were about to leave.
"Xinxin, let me ask him for you!"
At this moment, for some unknown reason, Jiang Yuanxin let go of Tang Xin's arm, strode towards Zhuang Wen, and grabbed his hand, saying, "Hey, Zhuang Wen, wait!"
Zhuang Wen stopped and slowly looked down at Jiang Yuanxin's hand that was holding his arm. He immediately shook his hand off as if avoiding a snake.
He turned to face Jiang Yuanxin, took a step back, and said with a look of disgust, "What are you doing?"
His tone was very calm, as if he were talking to a stranger.
"Zhuang Wen, what do you mean?"
Seeing Zhuang Wen's undisguised disgust, Jiang Yuanxin felt a surge of anger, as if she had been mocked by someone she looked down upon. She immediately shrieked:
"We were classmates for four years in college. When you were pursuing Xin Xin, I had a lot of dealings with you and even helped you a lot. Now that we've met, you just leave without saying goodbye. Although I know it might be because you and Xin Xin broke up, isn't that incredibly unmanly?"
Zhuang Wen frowned and said in a deep voice, "What do you want? Speak quickly, I still need to eat, don't disturb me!"
"you……"
Jiang Yuanxin was so angry at Zhuang Wen's indifferent attitude that she almost lost her nose, which had just been treated with cosmetic surgery.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, don't bother me!"
Zhuang Wen snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"You...you've really gotten to know things now!"
Jiang Yuanxin quickly stepped forward, blocking Zhuang Wen's path. She then sneered twice and said, "Tell me, you and Xin Xin were about to get married, why did you suddenly change your mind and abandon her? Do you have a new love, or did you already..."
"roll!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wen's expression turned cold. He interrupted her and said coldly, "Who do you think you are to speak to me like this? And what do you know?!"
"Just because I'm Xin Xin's best friend..."
Jiang Yuanxin said through gritted teeth.
Zhuang Wen sneered, "Best friend? I think you're an idiot! What right do you have to bark at me like a dog? If you want to bark, go home and stop making noise!"
"You...you dare to curse me? Who gave you the guts? You're courting death..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuanxin's face contorted, and she screamed venomously, about to rush forward in her high heels to tear Zhuang Wen's face apart.
