Although in the end no one knew what Jun Zhenzhen said to Lin Zhubu that made him endure his daughter's humiliation, Fang Jinxiu did not think that Lin Zhubu would be grateful to Jun Zhenzhen, let alone be happy to see Jun Zhenzhen.

I don't think there is anything to talk about between them.

Fang Jinxiu looked over there carefully. Jun Zhenzhen was talking and Lin Zhubu was listening very seriously with a serious expression.

After Jun Zhenzhen finished speaking, Lin Zhubu also spoke, and shook his head as if sighing. Jun Zhenzhen immediately said a few more words, and Lin Zhubu smiled.

"It looks like they are having a very pleasant conversation." Chen Qi said from behind Fang Jinxiu.

Fang Jinxiu seemed to have forgotten his existence and was startled, almost walking out, but the movement seemed to attract the attention of people talking on the street.

Fang Jinxiu pushed Chen Qi and hurried back into the alley.

Caught off guard, Chen Qi almost fell to the ground.

"What are you doing..." he asked.

"Don't talk." Fang Jinxiu glared and shouted in a low voice.

Chen Qi hurriedly covered his mouth and nodded seriously. Fang Jinxiu was too lazy to pay attention to his mischief and carefully leaned against the wall to stick her head out again.

Lin Zhubu and Jun Zhenzhen could no longer be seen on the street.

Where have you been?

Fang Jinxiu stood up and looked around. People were coming and going on the street, vendors were hawking their wares, people were chatting and laughing, it was still lively as usual, but there was no sign of Lin Zhubu and Jun Zhenzhen.

"Maybe they've left." Chen Qi approached her carefully and whispered, "Do you want to look for them? I'm very familiar with the city and the vendors along the street. It's not difficult to find someone."

Fang Jinxiu withdrew her gaze.

What are you looking for her for?

When she was the third daughter of the Fang family, she never told me anything.

Now that I am no longer a member of the Fang family, nothing else matters to me.

"No need." She said in a muffled voice, standing there but not moving.

Chen Qi pondered for a moment.

"Yes, let's not worry about other people's business. The most important thing now is your business." He said, pointing to a tea stall on the street, "Come on, Miss Fang. Let's go there and sit down to discuss where to go, when to set off, and whether to take a car or ride a horse. If you think carefully, you won't have to worry about the future."

This time Fang Jinxiu did not rush out of the city gate as she did before, but hesitated.

Chen Qi immediately seized the opportunity.

"I think riding a horse is good. It's hot and riding a horse is fast," he said. It seemed that Fang Jinxiu had already agreed. He seriously considered the next question while walking towards the tea stall.

Fang Jinxiu hesitated for a moment and followed.

“…But it’s hot, and it’s too hot to ride a horse, so let’s take a car.” Chen Qi turned around and said seriously.

"Think about where you want to go first, and then decide whether to ride a horse or take a car based on the distance." Fang Jinxiu said with a serious face.

Chen Qi nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, you are right. I was confused." He touched his head and laughed.

The two of them have already entered the tea stall.

"Chen Qi, how could you cheat me?" The owner of the tea stall greeted him with a smile, but his eyes swept over Fang Jinxiu.

Chen Qi pouted at him twice.

"I'm just doing small business." He said. He took out a few coins from his wallet and counted them carefully. He divided them into three pieces. The owner of the teahouse raised his chin and said, "Good tea."

What good tea is there in this teahouse? What good tea can you drink for three dollars?

Fang Jinxiu watched the man carefully put the remaining money on the table into his wallet. She could count it at a glance and found that it was only a dozen dollars. He looked like he was holding a mountain of gold and silver.

She had never seen so little money in her life, and the least she carried in her purse when she went out was a handful of small coins.

"Ms. Fang, who is used to a good life, have you ever tasted tea like this?"

Chen Qi suddenly raised his head and smiled, and the owner of the teahouse brought the tea over. Chen Qi pushed the tea bowl in front of Fang Jinxiu.

A large ceramic bowl filled with brown tea, but no tea aroma could be smelled.

"Do you think I've never had it before?" Fang Jinxiu said, picking up the bowl and taking a big sip.

After she learned how to ride a horse, she followed the people from the ticket office out once. The journey was inconvenient, and they once rested in a simple tea stall on the roadside.

However, that is not because of lack of money, but because even if you have money you cannot buy good tea.

Besides, the novelty of being out there outweighed the inconvenience of the journey, and drinking bad tea was just a icing on the cake.

When embellishment becomes a daily routine, it may no longer be fun.

She took several sips of the tea, and after she got used to its bitter taste, it quenched her thirst.

Her stomach growled as her thirst was quenched.

Chen Qi looked over and Fang Jinxiu blushed.

She hadn't had a proper meal in the past few months, but she had never stopped eating and drinking, and even had snacks. To be honest, she had never been hungry.

I went out in the middle of the night yesterday and didn't sleep the whole night. I rushed to watch the beheading early in the morning and haven't had a drop of water until now.

I also feel hungry.

"Boss, boss, give me some fried pork..." Chen Qi turned around and called to the teahouse owner, holding up two fingers, then put one away, "One bowl."

After he finished speaking, he smiled at Fang Jinxiu again.

"I'm sorry, I don't have much money right now, so I can only treat you to a bowl of deep-fried meat. Don't mind."

Fang Jinxiu was about to say something, but Chen Qi spoke first.

"Of course, don't refuse. We both know my situation and yours. We should be honest and don't be sad or say anything like "thank you for your debts." He smiled and said, "We are just friends meeting, it's as simple as sitting down to have a meal and drink some tea."

Fang Jinxiu was about to speak again, but Chen Qi took the lead again.

"Of course, don't sympathize with me, and I don't sympathize with you either." He said with a plastic surgery.

Fang Jinxiu rolled her eyes at him.

"I don't have anything to say, and it's not as much as you think. Can you shut up?" she said.

Chen Qi chuckled and again covered his mouth with his hand as if to stop talking. The deep-fried pork was also served. Fang Jinxiu picked up the chopsticks without hesitation. Before she was about to eat, she picked up an empty bowl on the table and ate half of it.

"I don't want to eat. I've already eaten." Chen Qi said, waving his hands.

"I can't finish it." Fang Jinxiu said, pushing the half-empty bowl to him, "It's not something good."

Chen Qi chuckled and didn't say any more politely.

"It's actually quite good," he said. "The fried pork made by Lao Pang is even better than that in the big restaurant."

The owner of the tea stall also laughed when he heard it.

"Yes, yes, what I make is very authentic, not bad at all." He said, "The craftsmanship of Qingfulou was originally learned from my ancestors."

Fang Jinxiu smiled, lowered her head and started eating without saying a word.

Chen Qi also paused and started eating happily.

The two of them quickly finished a bowl of meat and two bowls of tea. During this time, Chen Qi also suggested that Fang Jinxiu should not leave the city today and leave after choosing where to go.

"You can stay at my house today." Chen Qi said.

Fang Jinxiu glanced at him.

It's not nice to let a girl live in your own home.

"There is no one else in my family, only my mother." Chen Qi said hurriedly.

After saying this, I felt that something was even more wrong.

"Anyway, what I mean is..." he started again hurriedly.

Fang Jinxiu interrupted him.

"I'm staying in an inn," she said.

Chen Qi was a little surprised.

"Do you have money?" he asked.

Fang Jinxiu looked at the small bag in her hand. She had carried it out last night but had not bothered to open it. Just now when she was having dinner, she took a look and found two bags of money, one bag of silver coins, and one bag of gold leaves in it.

Everything has been cut into small pieces to facilitate daily expenses.

She didn't know whether it was Yuanshi's words, the night of sitting in silence, watching the beheading, or the fact that she had just eaten a full meal, but the depression in her heart was relieved a lot.

Don't think about the past, don't think about the money that has severed the blood relationship of more than ten years. Just like Chen Qi invited you to drink tea and eat meat just now, just invite you and eat it. Why think so much?

She decided to use the money to stay in a hotel, walk away, and start a new life.

"I have money." Fang Jinxiu said to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi said "oh" and looked at her small bag.

"It's useless for me to pretend to be generous even though I have money. It's better for you to treat me." He murmured.
