Chapter 21 Meeting an old friend
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shines into the room, like a shining golden thread.
Nan Chu lying on the bed opened his eyes hazily.
He glanced out the window and immediately got up in a panic.
How come he slept so late? His father and the others had gone to the store, and his wife was not home either. She must have gone to school, so he was the only one sleeping in.
The more Nan Chu thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he quickly got out of bed and put on his shoes.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
As soon as Su Yuan entered the room, he saw Nan Chu looking flustered and raised his eyebrows to ask.
Nan Chu was puzzled when he saw Su Yuan was actually at home:
"Wife? Why didn't you go to the school?"
Su Yuan suddenly realized that he forgot to tell Nan Chu yesterday:
"Today is a holiday at the school, I am resting at home."
"Aren't you going to sleep? Then hurry up and get up and eat. I'll take you to the clinic to see your hand later. You should rest at home until your hand recovers."
Nan Chu was surprised after hearing this:
"My dear wife, you are on vacation today, so I can stay with you."
Su Yuan smiled and nodded:
"Yes, sure."
"However, I have to go to the store to help out today. Today is a day off for both schools, so Dad and the others will definitely be too busy."
Nan Chu hurriedly said:
"My dear wife, can I go too?"
He just wants to stick to his wife.
He took several showers yesterday, but still felt uncomfortable. Without his wife, he always felt empty and panicked.
Su Yuan pursed his lips and thought for a while, then nodded:
"Okay, but you can't do anything when you go there. Just sit there and watch. Can you do that? If you can, I'll agree."
Nanchu nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said happily:
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
Su Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Then get up and eat."
"good."
Xiangsufang.
Su Yuan stood in front of the counter serving customers, while Nan Chu sat beside them to help introduce them.
If any diner needed food, he would call Su Yuan to come and pack it up, and the two of them worked together very well.
"Let me tell you, this is a shop opened by my classmate's family. The food is really good. It's the best in Tongcheng."
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Yuan looked over.
A group of people came in from the door, led by a pretty girl in her early twenties, and the one jumping up and down beside her to introduce herself to her companions was Su Yuan's good friend, Meng Yunqiao.
Meng Yunqiao said this and walked closer.
She saw Su Yuan standing at the counter, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing, and was about to say hello.
Unexpectedly, someone else got there first.
"Nanchu."
A female voice full of affection and surprise shouted.
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the voice.
The woman was wearing a sky-blue cotton gown, had willow-shaped eyebrows, an oval face, fair skin, and a bright appearance. At this moment, she was looking at Nan Chu with a look of pain and pity on her face.
After looking at him, Su Yuan withdrew his gaze and made a secret guess in his heart.
Judging from the tone and attitude, could it be Gu Ranran?
Nan Chu, who was standing by, heard the voice and recognized the person.
He quickly looked at Su Yuan, afraid that she would misunderstand, and hid behind his wife to prove his innocence.
Su Yuan glanced at it and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
She put down her hand, held Nan Chu's hand tightly, and signaled him not to panic and that she trusted him.
After Nan Chu noticed it, he secretly glanced at the two people's clasped hands, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he felt relieved.
Outsiders were blocked from seeing their interaction by the counter.
Gu Ranran naturally didn't notice it either. She continued to look at Nan Chu and said with great sorrow:
"Nan Chu, why do you hide when you see me? And why would a man like you work in this pastry shop?"
"Did your idle wife take you away and not treat you well, forcing you to come out to earn money to support the family?"
As soon as Gu Ranran finished speaking, Gu Ziluo followed closely and stepped forward to persuade him:
"Brother Nanchu, if you have any grievances, please tell us. The one next to me is the scholar from Shuming Academy. She is the kindest person. If you tell us, she will help you."
After saying that, he looked at Han Ling with admiration.
Han Ling had an indifferent expression and said nothing, but the arrogance that flashed in her eyes from time to time betrayed her.
She raised her chin slightly, waiting for Nan Chu to tell her about the unfair treatment she had suffered so that it would be her turn to step forward.
The brother and sister's words were sonorous and powerful, and their voices were loud. They successfully attracted the attention of the diners in the restaurant, and they all started gossiping:
"Well, I've been to Xiangsufang several times, and every time it was Nanchu who received me. I originally thought he was the son of the shopkeeper, but I didn't expect that he was forced out by his wife to be a waiter."
"Really? That's too pitiful. A man has to show his face in public and support his family. His wife is such a bad person."
"Who said it wasn't true? His wife is really a piece of shit. I heard from that woman that Nan Chu was robbed back. It's really unfortunate."
Nan Chu was almost furious when he heard what people were saying around him. They said he could do it, but his wife couldn't.
He frowned and said sternly:
"Miss Gu, please be careful with your words. My wife is studying at Baichuan Academy and is not an idle person.
And I'm not a waiter. This Xiang Su Fang is owned by my family. Nan Chu doesn't feel wronged to work for his family and he enjoys it."
Nan Chu slowed down and lowered his voice, but the people around him could still hear:
"Also, also, I was sold to my wife's family by my mother and father. My wife didn't snatch me back. Miss Gu, please don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that Nan Chu was willing to expose his own scars and refute Gu Ranran, Su Yuan pursed his lips and hugged Nan Chu into his arms.
She stabbed Gu Ranran with a dagger-like gaze and said coldly:
"Miss Gu slandered Nan Chu and me in public. Could it be that because she couldn't marry Nan Chu, she turned her love into hatred and wanted to destroy her?"
Gu Ranran understood the meaning of the words and her eyes widened immediately.
Is this person Su Yuan?
Isn't it said that Su Yuan is a gangster and a lazy guy?
Why does it look like this?
His family ran a shop in the town, and he was also a student at Baichuan Academy.
This, why is this different from what she heard.
Gu Ranran's face suddenly turned blue and red.
It is extremely embarrassing to say bad things about someone in front of him and then have him refute that they are not true.
She calmed down, looked at Su Yuan angrily and said:
"I just believed the rumors, but why did you say that? When did I destroy Nanchu?"
Su Yuan sneered, his eyes were playful:
"Oh, a man's reputation is so important, but you revealed Nan Chu's private affairs in public. What good will it do except make people laugh and talk about it?"
After saying that, she looked Gu Ranran up and down and said slowly:
"Miss Gu, if you really want to speak up, why don't you take actual action? I see that your outfit is worth ten taels of silver. Wearing one less set of clothes can save Nan Chu from the fire pit. Not only did you not do it, but you added fuel to the fire."
"If I were a narrow-minded person and was misled by your affectionate appearance, wouldn't I misunderstand that Nan Chu and you have a private relationship?"
Su Yuan sighed and continued:
"Alas, Miss Gu's thoughts are really deep, I really admire her, I admire her~"
