Chapter 380 Betrayal
The old man chatted with his neighbor for a while longer, said goodbye to each other, and then went into the shop to start packing up his things.
The shop was small to begin with, and there wasn't much stuff in total—just two small tables and a few stools. It was tidied up quickly.
Looking at the shop that was now empty after being cleaned up, the old man smiled wryly.
I suddenly remembered something we said at the dinner table back when the three of us were still living together...
"Dad! Have you ever heard of Beijing?"
"Of course! Who hasn't heard of it? That's our country's capital! It's been the most important place in our country for hundreds of years!"
"I heard they also have Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste) there, it's really delicious."
"Yes, that's what my classmate said too! He's been to Beijing!"
Oh, Dad, the teacher also asked us to write an essay today, and I got an A!
"Oh? That's amazing! Can you tell Dad what kind of essay you wrote?"
"The essay topic was my dream, and I wrote that I wanted to open my own small noodle shop in Beijing and sell Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)."
Then we'll all be able to enjoy delicious Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)!
"My son is amazing! From now on, Dad will be looking forward to eating your Zhajiangmian (noodles with soybean paste)."
"Yes, yes! Mom and Dad, when I grow up, let's open a noodle shop in Beijing!"
"good……"
A relieved smile appeared on the old man's face. In this life, he felt he hadn't let anyone down...
The old man gave away the last of his usable belongings to the neighbors who had helped him, then quietly left home that night with his small bundle.
He didn't want to see everyone seeing him off; it would make him very sad.
That night, an old man was missing from the capital city, and apart from Yan Wu and the neighbors, no one knew.
After leaving the old man's noodle shop, Yan Wu slowly strolled back to her house.
This is a small house under his own name, which he bought before going to Shanghai. No one else knows about it yet, except for him.
Originally, this was supposed to be his bridal chamber, but now it's just his private space.
He will give himself a day to think through all the issues.
One day later, he will tell everyone the answer...
While Yan Wu was thinking, Li Qin was also discussing their relationship with Wu Shan.
Wu Shan leisurely took a sip of his wine. "So, you're dating that Yan Wu?"
Li Qin poured herself a full glass and drank it all in one gulp. "Ah!"
Wu Shan slammed his fist on the table. "This Yan Wu, I only asked someone to look after you, and he actually abused his position for personal gain!"
Li Qin rolled her eyes. "Grandpa, it's just the two of us here now, why are you pretending with me?"
If you didn't have some ulterior motives, would you have let Yan Wu take care of me for no reason?
"Just tell me, did you already know all along?"
Wu Shan initially avoided Li Qin's probing gaze, denying it, but when he could no longer avoid it, he reluctantly nodded, "I guess so..."
Li Qin squinted at him dangerously, "When did you find out?"
Wu Shan picked up his chopsticks, popped a peanut into his mouth, and said disdainfully, "With your two naive and clueless looks, what ability do you have to avoid your parents? I saw you looking like you were just starting to fall in love every day, so I went out with you, and that's when I saw that brat."
Li Qin smiled, "So that's how it is. You knew about it years ago."
Then...why didn't you stop me?"
Wu Shan narrowed his eyes. "Girl, what do you mean? Did that Yan Wu bully you?"
