Chapter 168 Jinjiang Debut
The parents of both families had fought and scolded each other enough, and finally followed the police into the police station to identify the body. The bearded man stood there alone. He raised his head and looked at the bright sun, and suddenly he felt weak all over, and he knelt on the ground.
Although he luckily survived this incident, he will have to live with the guilt from now on. He was the one who killed his two brothers with his own hands. This incident has spread like wildfire in the town. From now on, he will never be able to hold his head up high in Qingshui Town.
After dealing with the first gossip of the day, Bai Mian made herself a pot of iced lemon tea. Seeing that the time was almost up, she said to everyone, "Everyone, we are going to take a lunch break. Please come back in the afternoon."
After hearing this, the crowd in the store dispersed, and Bai Mian temporarily turned off the live broadcast. Xia Mang sighed, "Huh, although I only handled one case this morning, I am already exhausted. I didn't expect that danger would be so close to us. These people are really daring!"
Lu Xue said: "Perhaps they think that it is safest to commit crimes here because the emperor is far away. However, in this era, everyone can shoot short videos. Even if there were no three reckless men, their crimes would be exposed sooner or later."
"It's time to eat! Don't think about your case. Come and eat something to replenish your brain cells!" Gao Jin shouted while busy in the kitchen.
Several people sat down at the dining table obediently. Today's lunch was very rich. The staple food was golden pumpkin steamed cake, and the dishes were cola chicken wings, cold shredded vegetables, and winter melon vermicelli and mutton meatball soup.
The steamed golden pumpkin steamed cake was fluffy and soft. Gao Jin gave everyone a big piece. The cola chicken wings were caramel-colored. Xia Mang couldn't wait to pick one up, but got burned in the mouth the next second. Lu Xue laughed at her mercilessly.
Weng Xuhua personally served Bai Mian a bowl of meatball soup. The soup was clear, the winter melon was sweet, the vermicelli was smooth, and the mutton meatballs were mixed with seasonings. There was no fishy smell at all, only a strong meaty aroma.
Bai Mian sensed something was wrong: "Master, aren't you being too polite to serve me the soup today?"
Weng Xuhua smiled and took out his phone to show Bai Mian his WeChat. He received a WeChat message from Cripple Brother at 10 a.m.:
[Boss, I'm going to treat you to dinner tonight. I have something important to tell you]
Weng Xuhua pointed at the news and laughed, "What else could it be? Of course it's the most important event in his life!"
After saying that, the master touched his chin and recalled the past: "Yu Han, this young man, has worked for me for several years. I watched him change from a young man to a decadent and vicissitudes of life in the middle-aged. I really can't bear to see such a young man wasting his life! I also advised him to live a good life, but he just ignored my words. I thought he would continue like this, but who knew that an old classmate suddenly showed up, and he seemed to come alive all of a sudden. Haha, life is really wonderful!"
Bai Mian raised his eyebrows: "You must be so happy that you specially served me soup."
Weng Xuhua curled his lips and said, "Hey, stop pretending. I knew it was you who did this! His old classmate didn't come earlier or later, but he came at this time. Could it be that it has nothing to do with you? Although I don't know the secret, I still thank you on their behalf!"
Bai Mian raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "In that case, I will accept this thank you gift."
She picked up the spoon and put a spoonful of soup into her mouth. Everyone at the table was shocked by the news that Weng Xuhua had just announced, especially Gao Jin, who was so shocked that he dropped the spoon in his hand:
"Oh my god, they are moving so fast! Is it really okay to move so fast? They just met yesterday and dated for only one day, but they are announcing the good news today? Young people nowadays are so unstable..."
Weng Xuhua interrupted Gao Jin's chatter: "It's nothing. They just recognized each other yesterday. They knew each other many years ago and understand each other's temperament. Besides, they are already in their thirties. The process should be faster. Do you want them to slowly adjust to each other for another three to five years?"
"That being said..." Gao Jin thought of another question, "They're not going to hold a banquet tonight, are they? Oh my god, what should I wear? I have to dress formally. This kid is really something. Why didn't he tell me earlier? There's only half a day left. I don't know if the tailor shop can make a dress in time!"
Weng Xuhua patted Gao Jin's hand and said, "You don't have to be so solemn. The children are willing to share the good news with us because they treat us as family. Just go. They won't care what you wear. Besides, don't you have a cheongsam? The one with the phoenix embroidered on it."
Gao Jin frowned and said, "Those are clothes from 20 years ago. They are out of date now. Besides, my figure is out of shape now. I can't wear them at all."
Weng Xuhua said in a gentle tone: "No, in my eyes you will always be the same as you were back then."
Gao Jin smiled and hit him: "You are just good at talking. I think you just want to save money. Well, I will take the time to alter that cheongsam this afternoon."
Bai Mian suddenly thought of what would happen in the afternoon, so he looked up and said to Weng Xuhua, "Master, you should accompany your wife to buy a new one. Treating patients is important, but you also have to take time to accompany your family."
Weng Xuhua was stunned for a moment, remembering that he had repeatedly rejected his wife's proposal to go traveling, and he couldn't help but feel apologetic, so he said, "Okay, old lady, you don't have to wear your old clothes. I'll take you to the mall to buy you a new one. There are so many clothes in the mall, there must be one that suits you."
Gao Jin asked him with a smile: "Don't you want to save money?"
Weng Xuhua said embarrassedly: "Isn't the purpose of saving money to use it for you? Let's put it this way, we will go this afternoon."
With Weng Xuhua's words, Gao Jin enjoyed the meal particularly well, not because of shopping in the mall, but mainly because Weng Xuhua took the rare time to accompany her.
Xia Mang was showing off her cola chicken wings. She ate half of the whole plate of chicken wings. While eating, she said, "Wow, those restaurant owners are so stupid. They even spent money to buy poppy shells. If their cooking skills were as good as the boss lady's, they wouldn't have to worry about business at all!"
After finishing his meal, Weng Xuhua wrote a notice with a brush and posted it on the door, announcing that he would be closed for the afternoon. Then he went upstairs hand in hand with Gao Jin to take a nap.
Bai Mian placed an errand order and bought two fire extinguishers from the store. After receiving the goods, she placed the fire extinguishers in the store. The little rabbit with red eyes seemed to smell something uneasy and followed Bai Mian closely.
Bai Mian squatted down and touched its head. This little guy was very well-behaved. He stayed on the table all morning without running around. When Bai Mian was checking his owner's pulse, he carefully stood in front of Bai Mian, as if he was afraid that his owner would hurt Bai Mian.
Bai Mian stretched out his hand, and the rabbit immediately climbed onto Bai Mian's palm, looking at Bai Mian pitifully with its eyes, fearing that Bai Mian would abandon it. Bai Mian had an idea that if no one came to claim this rabbit, then he might as well adopt it.
Bai Mian returned to the bedroom on the second floor and gently covered herself with a quilt. The little rabbit curled up into a ball and rolled into her arms. She buried her nose in the rabbit and smelled the faint sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance again.
After lunch, Bai Mian went downstairs carrying the rabbit in her arms. Her master and mistress had already gone out, leaving only the two sisters to accompany her in the live broadcast. She gently placed the little rabbit on the table and then turned on the live broadcast.
As soon as Xia Mang opened the shop door, a large group of people rushed in. Although Weng Xuhua did not diagnose pulses in the afternoon, there were still many people who came to watch the fun.
The second client was a young girl. She sat down at the table impatiently and took out a photo of a man from her bag: "Master, this is my brother. He disappeared six months ago. I know where he is, but I can't save him. Please save him!"
The photo shows a middle-aged man in his thirties. He lies quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, as if he is falling asleep. Although the photo looks fine at first glance, a closer look reveals that the man in the photo has a pale face and an eerie aura.
Bai Mian asked: "What happened? Was he kidnapped?"
The younger sister nodded quickly: "Yes, he was kidnapped, he was kidnapped by the mermaid!"
