While everyone in the family was taking a walk or doing something outside, Song Qi and Ling Ju called Chen Chun to the study.
Explained the purpose of the visit.
"Mom, regarding the pocket watch, the family members are now in Jing City."
Chen Chun looked at Song Qi, his eyes a little embarrassed. "The biggest problem is that I don't know anything about this watch. Even if I go to meet him, I'm afraid I won't be able to get any useful information."
As expected, Chen Chun meant the same thing as Song Qi said. In fact, this was a subtle way of saying that there would be no progress even if they met.
Song Qi nodded. "I've discussed this with my brother. We'll continue investigating Yin Bolan's case, but he's a foreigner. He's been abroad for so long and there hasn't been any progress. We can't extend our reach too far."
Song Qi and Yin Bolan were originally rivals. Yin Bolan thought that he and Song Qi had a blood feud, but later he found out that the whole thing was just a misunderstanding.
What's more, the Song family has the pocket watch that is the symbol of Yin Bolan's family, which makes the whole thing even more strange.
Both of them are now secretly testing each other, but neither side has made any progress.
Chen Chun pondered for a moment, "Second brother, I won't go with you to meet this person. This year is very tense, and your father and second uncle are under a lot of pressure. Let's keep a low profile."
Ling Ju sat aside without saying anything, but she knew that it seemed that the secret of the pocket watch could not be solved for a long time.
But for the time being, we can be sure that it will not harm the Song family.
But is it possible that the ancestors of the Shen family knew the ancestors of Yin Bolan, and the two families became friends and exchanged tokens of friendship?
Of course this is just a guess, her own guess.
But what was the misunderstanding with Song Qi later? She was too curious, but the mission involving Song Qi was confidential. No one except Song Qi and his superiors would know, let alone Shen Chun and Song Wei.
This matter has really reached a dead end.
It's difficult.
However, Ling Ju still decided to go to Yin's place for a cup of coffee. The last time they had coffee was a month ago.
And she was quite curious about what happened when Song Qi met Yin.
After Chen Yun sent Song Qi and Ling Ju to Wangfujing, he left.
Ling Ju took Song Qi up the familiar small staircase. The store was on the second floor.
After Ling Ju went in, she found that there were actually two tables of guests inside today. They all looked very young students, some drinking tea and some drinking juice. It seemed that coffee was not yet widely accepted in this era.
She walked to the bar and called out, "Customers are coming! Where's the boss?"
"Here I come."
Yes, it was Yin's voice.
Then a familiar figure walked out of the kitchen. He was wearing a white shirt and dark blue jeans, with a casually unkempt flat hair. He had a bit of the temperament of a print model. Ling Ju really admired him. Yin Bolan was indeed the most outstanding-looking foreigner she had ever met.
Blue eyes, brown hair, tall stature, everything about him was just right.
As soon as Yin Bolan came out, he felt a different aura. Sure enough, there was a tall and strong figure standing behind the familiar girl.
This was his second meeting with Song Qi. The last time he was fully armed and had oil paint on his face.
This time he was wearing a white shirt and black pants, and he still had an extraordinary temperament when he walked to that station.
Yin Bolan admires men in the army because they have an indescribable temperament.
If he were a woman, he might also like this type, just like the pregnant woman in front of him.
"Song Qi, long time no see."
Song Qi nodded, and the two men looked at each other, and a masculine atmosphere flowed in the small shop.
Ling Ju noticed Yin staring at Song Qi for a few seconds, then a big smile appeared on her face. "Pregnant woman, what would you like to drink today?"
Ling Ju rolled her eyes at him, "Song Qi, what do you want to drink?"
Song Qi glanced at the menu and saw nothing he liked. "Just the same as yours."
"Mr. Yin, please give me two cups of cappuccino, thank you!"
Yin readily agreed, "Okay, wait a moment."
"How much?"
"Five dollars."
Ling Ju took out five dollars and put them on the table. "Your price is not low."
Yin raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how difficult it is to ship coffee beans here? The cost is too high."
Ling Ju thought about it and agreed. In that era, there was no logistics, no express delivery, and no air transportation.
Song Qi and I found a corner against the wall and sat down. Soon, all the students on the other side left and only they were left at the table.
After looking at the prices on the menu, I understood why students all drank juice and the like, because juice was much cheaper, and the price of anything containing coffee was doubled.
"Yin, give me another glass of juice."
"What kind of juice do you want?"
"Apple, right?"
"OK."
About five or six minutes later, Yin brought two cappuccinos and a glass of apple juice.
Ling Ju sighed, the portion was really big, this glass of juice felt like it was 500 milliliters.
And it only costs one dollar.
In this area, 500 ml of juice for one dollar is really not expensive.
Ling Ju took a sip of the juice first. Oh, it was completely different from the apple juice she had imagined. It seemed that a little orange and pineapple were added to it, and the taste was refreshing and sweet.
"Song Qi, try it quickly, this is delicious!"
Song Qi took a sip and it was indeed good. However, he didn't have such an exaggerated expression. "Not bad."
Yin stood aside and looked at Ling Ju's expression, "How about my exclusive secret recipe?"
Ling Ju gave him a thumbs-up and said, "You're very suitable for this line of work. Don't do anything illegal in the future. It would be great if you could open a drink shop. I can come over occasionally to satisfy my cravings."
"You're so surprised you said something illegal."
Ling Ju smiled, "By the way, did Yunyun go out to eat with you?"
At this point, Yin Bolan's smiling expression suddenly fell.
"She did eat it, but when I asked her out again later, she said she was very busy. I don't know if it was true or not. Sigh." There was a lot of disappointment in her tone.
Judging from the way Ling Ju looked at him, it seemed that he really fell in love with Sun Yun.
"She is indeed very busy. She probably didn't lie to you."
"Really?" A glimmer of hope appeared on Yin's face.
"I don't know, I guess. We haven't been in touch recently. I guess she's quite busy."
"Then I'll contact her another day and ask her."
Ling Ju nodded. "Song Qi, do you have something to say to him? Go ahead and tell him. I'll just wait here."
Song Qi looked at Ling Ju and drank his cappuccino in one gulp. "Yin, let's go out and talk."
Yin was not surprised. "Then I'll trouble Miss Ling to help me look after the store."
Although she was very curious, she did not take the initiative to spy on what the two men were talking about.
Some things still require a little privacy and distance, and you need to enjoy the feeling of being trusted. Maybe this is how it is when you are married, and sometimes you should wait for the other person to take the initiative to talk about some things.
About twenty minutes later, the two people were rescued. Nothing could be seen from their expressions. Ling Ju was a little hungry, so he arranged for them to go home for dinner, and the two of them left directly.
As he left, Yin gave her a meaningful look.
Although she didn't want to read too much into it, she felt that she should be the protagonist in the conversation between the two men.
