Chapter 418 The Coward's Black Moonlight Witch 49
Chen Lanru noticed Shen Xinran's eyes and smiled at Shen Xinran, "I came back this time mainly to treat your family to a meal."
When He Baifeng heard this, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No need to be so polite."
Xiao Chuanbai continued, "We've already reserved a seat at the Plaza Restaurant."
He Baifeng could only nod when she heard this, "Okay, then I'll obey your command."
During the meal, He Baifeng kept chatting with Chen Lanru, "Where do you work now?"
Chen Lanru replied: "I work at the municipal government."
He Baifeng asked again: "What about Xiao Xiao?"
Chen Lanru smiled and said, "He also works at the municipal government."
Xiao Chuanbai picked up a piece of fish and continued, "My main responsibility is to assist the mayor."
He Baifeng muttered softly when she heard this: "Assisting the mayor? Isn't that the deputy mayor?"
Xiao Chuanbai nodded and said, "Yes, I am the deputy mayor."
He Baifeng's eyes widened instantly, and he quickly stood up and offered a glass of wine, "How disrespectful."
Xiao Chuanbai also stood up and said with a smile: "What is He Xiangu doing? You are Lan Ru's savior, which is equivalent to my savior as well."
If you look closely, you will find that Xiao Chuanbai's wine glass is always one line lower than He Baifeng's, showing his humility and respect.
He Baifeng smiled and said, "Then before you..."
Although He Baifeng didn't finish her words, Xiao Chuanbai understood what she meant. He explained, "I was married once before, but she died of illness. Lan Ru and I met thanks to her cousin."
He Baifeng asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Chen Lanru smiled. "He and my cousin were high school classmates. When I was little, I often played with them, but they never took me with them. I was depressed for a long time because of this."
He Baifeng smiled brightly. "Then your relationship was destined by heaven. You just missed each other before, but fortunately you have found each other now. You will definitely be happy in the future."
Xiao Chuanbai also responded with a smile: "Thank you for your good words."
After saying that, he put the fish meat with the bones picked out into Chen Lanru's bowl.
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor, and then the door of the private room next door was kicked open.
A man's angry voice exploded: "Gu Yan, I prepared delicious food and drinks for you at home, and you actually played with other men outside!"
Shen Xinran just felt that the man's voice sounded familiar, but Chen Lanru had lived with Zheng Guanqing for many years and immediately recognized that it was Zheng Guanqing's voice.
The woman called Gu Yan was hugging a young man at this time. "Your so-called good food and drink is also spent on my money, right? I have money to give you, don't be shameless."
Zheng Guanqing's face flushed with anger, and he glared at Gu Yan angrily, "What do you mean by this!"
Gu Yan looked at Zheng Guanqing with a hint of contempt in her eyes. "You yourself are incompetent, and you still have the nerve to criticize me. If you could have children, would I need to look for someone else?"
Zheng Guanqing's eyes widened as he retorted, "I'm in good health. Why don't you say it's your own problem?"
Gu Yan first glanced at the young man in her arms, then chuckled, "Just because I'm pregnant, and the child is not yours."
Zheng Guanqing's face flushed even redder when he heard this. He glared at Gu Yan in anger and shouted, "How dare you cheat on me?"
Gu Yan stood up, with a hint of threat in her voice: "You dare to try to do that to me."
Zheng Guanqing clenched his fists, anger burning in his eyes, but he really didn't dare to attack Gu Yan.
So he turned his gaze to the young man, rushed over, and punched him in the face.
The young man naturally wouldn't surrender, and the two of them started a fight. The fight spread from the private room to the corridor, and finally, in the chaos, they accidentally knocked open the door of the private room where Shen Xinran was.
Gu Yan followed behind, screaming: "Zheng Guanqing, are you crazy? You dare to hit me, do you want a divorce?"
But when she saw who was in the box, her expression changed instantly. "Mayor Xiao, why are you here? I'm Gu Yan. We met at the meeting."
Xiao Chuanbai raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, "Gu Yan?"
Gu Yan nodded and bowed respectfully, "Just call me Xiao Gu."
Zheng Guanqingye saw Chen Lanru sitting next to Xiao Chuanbai. He was slightly stunned and a look of regret appeared on his face.
Gu Yan pulled Zheng Guanqing's hand and pulled him out. As she closed the door, she said with a smile, "Mayor Xiao, take your time eating. We won't disturb you."
Zheng Guanqing looked through the crack in the door and saw Xiao Chuanbai picking up some food for Chen Lanru. He asked her, "What's wrong? Is this someone you know?"
Chen Lanru shook her head and said indifferently, "I know him, but he's not an important person."
Xiao Chuanbai smiled gently, "Okay, let's go to Tongtong's grave after dinner, then go back to the city and have dinner at my parents' house in the evening."
Chen Lanru placed her hands on her belly, nodded, and smiled faintly, "Okay."
Zheng Guanqing instantly realized that Chen Lanru was not only married but also pregnant. He stood there in a daze, his eyes dull and his heart filled with despair.
Gu Yan didn't notice that something was wrong with Zheng Guanqing, and warned him, "I'm telling you, it's okay if you mess with me, but if you dare mess with Mayor Xiao, I'll make sure you don't get away with it."
After saying that, he walked to the cashier and told the cashier, "How much is that private room? I'll pay for them."
But the cashier gave her an apologetic smile and said, "I'm so sorry, the money for that private room has already been paid in advance."
Gu Yan nodded, thinking about how to please Xiao Chuanbai.
After Chen Lanru finished her meal, she found an opportunity to pull Shen Xinran to a corner, tears in her eyes, "Was Tongtong well behaved when she left? Did she cry for her mother?"
Shen Xinran shook her head and replied softly: "No, she is very well behaved."
Chen Lanru choked up and said, "If I didn't come to see her off, she would definitely blame me, but I was also afraid that if I saw her, I would never be able to let her leave."
Shen Xinran listened quietly, she could feel the heaviness in Chen Lanru's words.
Chen Lanru took a deep breath and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's too late to say anything now. As long as Tongtong can be reincarnated, I will be happy for her."
After she finished speaking, she took out a stack of money from her handbag, handed it to Shen Xinran, and said with a faint smile: "This is what I promised to give you before."
Shen Xinran struggled internally about whether to express her guess, but considering that it might make Chen Lanru unhappy for nothing, she chose to remain silent.
Xiao Chuanbai realized that Chen Lanru and Shen Xinran had something to say, so he didn't interrupt them. Instead, he walked straight to the cashier and said, "Hello, checkout."
The cashier was a young girl. She smiled at Xiao Chuanbai and said, "Just now, a lady in the box next to you said she wanted to pay for you, but I said you had already paid."
Xiao Chuanbai nodded and handed the cashier a thousand yuan. "Okay, the extra is a tip."
