She thought Su Xiangyang was deliberately avoiding her, but she never expected to run into him here.
Su Xiangyang was slurping up the third bowl of wontons that had just been served when he heard the sound. He subconsciously looked up and saw Xiang Shanshan. His face flushed, and he was extremely embarrassed.
After all, they hadn't been in contact for so long, and the promised money had gone down the drain. He himself had a near-death experience in the south and almost didn't make it back.
He thought to himself that as long as he explained things clearly to Xiang Shanshan, she should be able to understand him.
When he first came back, Su Xiangyang did want to go see her, but he was busy with a lot of things at home and outside, so he didn't have time to think about how to explain.
But right now, what's even more troublesome is that he not only brought Deng Jiaqi back from the south, but also got a marriage certificate with her. How can he possibly bring this up in public?
"Shanshan, it's been a long time."
Su Xiangyang stood up and awkwardly walked to Xiang Shanshan. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Deng Jiaqi's voice came from less than two meters behind him.
Deng Jiaqi was carrying a thermos. Her smiling face froze the moment she saw Xiang Shanshan, as if she had been frozen in place.
"Su Xiangyang, who is she?" Deng Jiaqi's voice trembled slightly, tinged with a hint of grievance.
Before Su Xiangyang could react, Xiang Shanshan spoke first, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, and demanded, "Su Xiangyang, who is she?"
This question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
Su Xiangyang felt a buzzing in his head and thought to himself that something was wrong; the scene he feared most had finally arrived.
Meng Shuyun reacted quickly, walking over to Deng Jiaqi and grabbing her hand like a protective mother hen, saying, "Daughter, if you encounter a scumbag who betrays you, watch closely, Mom will teach you how to deal with him."
After saying that, he walked up to Xiang Shanshan aggressively, raised his chin, and said loudly, "This is my daughter-in-law, Su Xiangyang's wife, Deng Jiaqi."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud slap landed on Su Xiangyang's face. The sound was so crisp that the surrounding diners couldn't help but cast curious glances.
"You, Su Xiangyang, you're married now, and you're still flirting with other women outside. Have you forgotten that you're a married man?"
Meng Shuyun's outburst finally vented all the anger she had been holding in.
Then, she turned her attention to Xiang Shanshan: "And you, Xiang Shanshan, who do you think you are to Su Xiangyang? What right do you have to question him here? Mind your own business and stop thinking about other people's men all day long. That's what mistresses do. Do you want to be a mistress openly?"
Xiang Shanshan felt her head go "boom" and she was completely stunned.
Her eyes widened in disbelief; Su Xiangyang was actually married!
He went to the south and not only got married, but also brought back a fat woman!
Deng Jiaqi stood aside, silently observing Xiang Shanshan.
The woman in front of me was slender, with short hair that reached her ears, and wore black-rimmed glasses. She exuded the air of a cultured person in her every move.
Looking at her chubby hands and fleshy feet, a wave of inferiority washed over her.
A pang of sadness welled up in her heart, and she finally understood why Su Xiangyang had always been indifferent to her; it turned out that he had such a white moonlight hidden in his heart.
"The newspaper is going to promote you to manager with a raise. This is the meat I bought for you, as an extra treat." Deng Jiaqi bit her lip, shoved the thermos into Su Xiangyang's arms, turned around, and ran away crying. Her back looked as pathetic as could be.
Su Xiulan happened to be passing by and saw Deng Jiaqi running away crying. She quickly chased after her, calling out, "Jiaqi, what happened? Did that brat Su Xiangyang bully you?"
But Deng Jiaqi cried even harder, and without stopping, she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Meng Shuyun snatched the thermos from Su Xiangyang's hand and snorted coldly: "Hmph, someone like you doesn't deserve to eat the extra meal prepared by Jiaqi?"
She was furious. She had thought Su Xiangyang had broken up with Xiang Shanshan completely after seeing him behave himself for the past few months, but it turned out he was still entangled with her.
Su Xiulan was also furious. She raised her hand and slapped Su Xiangyang on the head with a loud "bang."
You could tell from the sound that the slap was no joke.
"What have you done to make Jiaqi cry? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Su Xiangyang's face turned bright red with grievance, and his neck seemed to thicken.
He hasn't said or done anything yet, so how did he become the target of everyone's criticism?
This injustice is even more unjust than that of Dou E.
Meng Shuyun pulled Su Xiulan along, saying as they walked, "Let's go find Jiaqi, and on the way, let's also check on Teacher Xie's house. She probably hasn't come back yet."
After taking only two steps, he turned back and shouted at Su Xiangyang, "Give me the money for the wontons."
When Su Xiangyang heard this, he almost fainted. Four bowls of wontons, six cents a bowl, that was half a month's worth of food expenses for him!
He was eagerly waiting for Meng Shuyun to pay the bill, but now his money has gone down the drain.
Su Xiangyang stomped his feet in anger, feeling frustrated, when he looked up and saw that Xiang Shanshan was still standing there, seemingly waiting for him to give her an explanation.
Su Xiangyang scratched his head and forced himself to speak: "Shanshan, you heard it too, I got married. I'm sorry I didn't have time to tell you, I just got back not long ago."
He used to genuinely like Xiang Shanshan, but now, after experiencing so much, he understands even more clearly that he likes money more.
Without money, you can't move an inch.
Xiang Shanshan's face turned pale and then red. Su Xiangyang was her long-term "ATM". Now that he's married, doesn't that mean it will be harder to get that money in the future?
