Chapter 11: Crossing the river and destroying the bridge, Yan Ye laughed in anger
"Why are you here?"
The woman's eyes swept from Yan Ye, then turned to Xu Xiaoyue, her tone in disbelief.
Xu Xiaoyue looked in the direction of the voice. It is said that the world is a circle.
This female comrade is Sun Ningning, the one who snatched clothes from her in the state-owned supermarket. Unexpectedly, she meets her here again. It really proves the saying that enemies often meet on a narrow road.
"Sun Ningning, do you know her?"
Several female comrades from the art troupe nearby witnessed Yan Ye and Xu Xiaoyue getting along. They had long been very curious about their relationship, but they did not dare to ask directly in front of Yan Ye. Now they all turned to look at Sun Ningning.
Sun Ningning quickly glanced at the two people who were sitting very close to each other. She clearly remembered that the woman was wearing rustic clothes and looked like she was from the countryside. How could she be related to Yan Tuan?
If she had known that the two knew each other, she would not have had the courage to snatch Xu Xiaoyue's clothes.
Sun Ningning tried to hold it in for a long time, and finally managed to utter a few words, "I don't know him, but I have seen him before."
Several female comrades looked at Ruan Wei who was sitting next to them. The woman looked calm and composed, but her hand holding the chopsticks was tightly clenched, revealing her emotions.
Speaking of which, the Ruan family and the Yan family could be considered a good match in their early years.
It was no secret in the army that Ruan Wei liked Yan Ye. It was magical that she didn't get angry when she saw Yan Ye being so intimate with this woman of unknown origin.
Xu Xiaoyue was very hungry when she was at the clinic, but now she didn't know if she was too hungry. She ate two bites of food, put down her chopsticks, and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Not eating anymore?" Yan Ye looked at her lower abdomen. She had only taken two bites. It was nothing more than cat food.
Xu Xiaoyue nodded, stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
Ruan Wei glanced at the woman's back, and, not knowing what she was thinking, she stood up and followed her.
Xu Xiaoyue looked at herself in the mirror, twisted her waist, and pouted her lips to check if there was any oil on them. She had a little obsession with cleanliness and had to keep herself clean at all times.
This was the scene Ruan Wei saw when she entered the bathroom. The woman's skirt outlined her slender waist, which was about the size of her two palms, with plump breasts and a raised butt, and she was posing in a coquettish manner.
"What is your relationship with Yan Tuan?"
Ruan Wei stood beside Xu Xiaoyue, turned the faucet to the maximum, looked at the woman through the mirror, and tried her best to suppress her displeasure.
"Ah, it doesn't matter." Xu Xiaoyue shook her head.
She admitted that she had some affection for Yan Ye, the tall, long-legged and handsome man who saved her twice, but this time the two of them really had nothing to do with each other.
Ruan Wei stared at that bright little face, her nails digging into her palms. She took a deep breath before saying, "Really? I thought you two were a couple."
"You two seem to be a good match, but..."
Ruan Wei hesitated to speak, and waited for Xu Xiaoyue to ask more questions.
Xu Xiaoyue washed her hands quietly, the running water rushing across the woman's palms. Under the light, it was hard to tell whether it was the delicate foam or her skin that was even more delicate.
The woman was about to dry her hands and walk out of the bathroom.
Ruan Wei still couldn't calm down, "It's not that easy to enter the Yan family. Although Yan Tuan's parents are gone, Aunt Liu will not let someone with unknown origins enter the Yan family like this."
Aunt Liu? Xu Xiaoyue stopped and thought in her mind.
Liu is not a common surname, and Yan is related to Liu.
Xu Xiaoyue suddenly realized that there really was such a character in the book.
Isn’t this the protagonist Yan Shuli’s uncle, nicknamed Demon Yan?
In the original book, after learning that Xu Xiaoyue was living in Yan's house and was flirting with other women, the uncle sent her directly to prison.
I still remember the description of him in the book: serious, ruthless, and having the style of a veteran cadre.
Just a few sentences summarize Yan Ye, who appears less frequently but has a strong presence.
Xu Xiaoyue shuddered. She really didn't expect that Yan Ye, the feared man in the book, actually saved her twice.
When I think about how he just took advantage of sitting in the back seat to hit and kick someone.
Fortunately, people didn't argue with her too much, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand here intact.
After coming out of the bathroom, Xu Xiaoyue looked at their table through the crowd.
Yan Ye was still talking to Wang Jianjun, sitting upright with an expression that didn't show whether he was happy or angry.
Xu Xiaoyue thought for a second, walked to the front desk and planned to pay the bill and leave.
"Master, please help me check how much is table number 34."
She lowered her head and reached into her bag to take out the money, taking out every scattered dime or two. All in all, it was only four dollars and eighty cents, and she didn't know if it was enough.
"Steamed sea bass, two bowls of rice, braised spareribs... the total is six dollars and thirty cents. Just give six dollars."
The abacus beads were beaten up and down, and the crisp sound was like beating a drum on Xu Xiaoyue's heart.
Hearing that it was six dollars, Xu Xiaoyue pinched the money with her slender fingers, organized her words and was about to ask the clerk if she could buy on credit first, when a big Tuanjie banknote was handed to her from behind.
"Master, table 34, please find it."
Xu Xiaoyue turned her head and met the man's gaze.
Xu Xiaoyue turned her face away first, hooking her fingers around the strap of her bag, "I promised you I'd treat you."
"In my place, it doesn't make sense to ask female comrades to pay for meals." Yan Ye looked away and spoke.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Xiaoyue would inevitably make jokes, but now that she knew the true identity of the person standing in front of her, she became extremely obedient and wanted to burrow into the ground to reduce her presence.
"Comrade Yan, please take it. You are welcome to come again next time." The old master moved quickly and handed the money to the man in change.
Xu Xiaoyue thought to herself, what is going on? This meal was originally intended to be her treat, but now she feels like she owes Yan Ye a favor.
She clasped the ribbon hanging from her bag to relieve the tension, then said nonchalantly, "Comrade Yan, thank you so much. I really didn't bring enough money today, so I asked you to help me pay for it."
"How about this, you leave me your address, and I'll send the money to you when I get paid next month."
After Xu Xiaoyue said this, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the man's expression.
She was indeed a coward. After learning the man's true identity, the only thing she could think of was avoiding him. She was afraid of repeating the same mistakes and that the plot would get out of control.
Yan Ye frowned, and stared at Xu Xiaoyue with his black eyes.
He suppressed the irritation in his heart and said lightly, "No need."
Yan Ye insisted not to do it. Xu Xiaoyue frowned, glanced at the man's stern profile, bit her lip and said, "Well, then I'll leave first."
After saying that, without waiting for the man to answer, she twisted her slender waist and walked towards the door, as if there was a ghost chasing her.
Yan Ye pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and stared at Xu Xiaoyue's back, almost laughing because of her anger.
That's great, just cross the river and destroy the bridge, just throw it away after use, right?
Wang Jianjun was eating in silence. When he saw Yan Ye coming back alone, he looked behind him and asked, "Where is Comrade Xu Xiaoyue?"
