Su Mingan returned to the dinner table and saw everyone looking at him strangely. He suddenly said angrily: "Is there something on my face?"
One of the companions winked and said, "Ming'an, why do you look so happy? Did you do something bad just now?"
"Go away, you think I am you."
Su Mingan cursed a lot, but in fact, only he knew that his current state was not right.
My heartbeat is still very fast, and my mood is inexplicably high, as if I have been drinking and dancing, and I want to jump to the sky.
He picked up the lemon black tea with ice and was about to drink it when the waiter came over with the bill.
"Why are you paying the bill? The meal hasn't been finished yet."
"It has nothing to do with you eating your food."
Without waiting for the waiter to explain, Su Mingan took the bill. When he saw it, his eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Two thousand?! Are they eating gold?"
"Young Master Su, the menu items and prices are all on the bill."
Su Mingan looked at it and got angry again, "Didn't you order two portions? Why does it say three portions on it? Do you think I'm a fool?"
The waiter hurriedly explained: "They took away one serving of each dish before leaving."
"Is she a pig? She hasn't eaten more than a dozen dishes and she still wants to take it out?"
The waiter said cautiously: "I heard the lady in the apricot shirt said that her husband hadn't eaten yet, so she packed it home for her husband to eat."
Su Mingan almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But he paid for the treat himself, and he didn't have the shame to refuse to pay. When he touched his wallet, it was M's, he was not a rich man, how could he carry so much money with him.
In the end, people at the table took out all the money they had, but they couldn't even collect two thousand.
Su Mingan was too embarrassed to ask his family for it, so he had to call a friend to borrow it, which made him very embarrassed.

After Yun Mo and Zeng Fang left the western restaurant, they took a taxi directly to Lingchuan's shop.
When the two arrived, Lingchuan was just preparing to have lunch.
Seeing Yun Mo and Zeng Fang coming, Lingchuan quickly put down his rice bowl and said, "Daughter-in-law, have you had lunch?"
"have eaten."
Zeng Fang looked at the clear water noodles and pickles on the small dining table and couldn't help but said: "Brother Ling, this is all you eat for lunch? This is too nutritious."
Lingchuan smiled sheepishly, "There are a lot of things in the store. It's easier to cook noodles and there's no need to clean up."
Yun Mo put the two bags of packing boxes she was carrying on the small dining table, "Stop eating noodles. I will improve the food for you at noon today and have a big meal."
"Yes, yes, brother Ling, we brought you delicious food specially!"
Zeng Fang also carried a packing box in her hand, but there was no room for it on the small dining table, so she had to put it on the floor first.
Yun Mo opened the packing boxes one by one, and soon the small dining table could no longer fit. In the end, she found two large cardboard boxes and turned them upside down on the ground to serve as dining tables.
Lingchuan was so shocked by the large table of luxurious Western food that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Daughter-in-law, this is too much, I can't finish it."
"Eat as much as you can. If you can't finish it, take it home and feed it to the little ones."
Saying that, Yun Mo picked up the caviar and seafood platter and stuffed it into his hand, "Okay, don't be stunned, eat quickly, eat this first."
As she said that, she picked up the knife and fork provided by the restaurant and cut the steak into evenly sized pieces. Then she cut foie gras, salmon and other dishes so that Lingchuan could eat them directly with chopsticks.
"Is it tasty?"
Seeing Lingchuan using chopsticks to pick up the steaks she had cut, and putting several pieces into his mouth, Yun Mo couldn't help but ask.
"Yeah, delicious."
Yun Mo put the shelled snail meat in front of him, "If it's delicious, eat more. It's free anyway."
After hearing that there were so many dishes but no money, Lingchuan's face immediately showed curiosity.
Zeng Fang silently swallowed her saliva and said with a smile: "I met an enemy today, and he was rushing to treat me, hiss."
Maybe he swallowed the saliva too quickly and his speech was a little slurred.
Yun Mo gave the other party a pair of clean chopsticks in a funny way, "Lingchuan can't finish all the dishes alone, so help him eat some."
Zeng Fang nodded like garlic: "Okay, okay."

As soon as Shao Lin got home, he went straight to Mrs. Shao's place.
Mrs. Shao had just had lunch and was about to take a nap. She was a little surprised when she saw her son.
"Alin, when did you return to Beijing? Have you had dinner?"
It was the hottest time of the day at noon. After a long and dusty journey back, Shao Lin was tired, thirsty and hungry.
"Mom, is there any water? Pour me a glass."
While Mrs. Shao ordered the nanny to pour water, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her son's sweat distressedly, "Why are you in such a hurry? I didn't even bother to drink the water, and I didn't even change my clothes. What happened, and I had to come here in such a hurry?
I didn’t even take a breath.”
"Master, your water."
Shao Lin took the warm water from Mrs. Hua's hand and drank it in one gulp, which made Mrs. Shao feel distressed again.
After drinking water, Shao Lin took out Yun Mo's photo from his pocket.
"Mom, look at this."
Mrs. Shao took the photo and looked at it, her eyebrows immediately frowned without any trace.
This, this is too young!
There is something good about being young. Young people are in good health and will have good fertility in the future.
Fine.
Mrs. Shao exchanged a vague look with Mrs. Hua, and then asked her son, "Is this the friend you talked about on the phone? He looks pretty good, no wonder you like him."
"Mom, Momo is very good and has a good personality. When you meet her, you will definitely like her as much as I do."
"My opinion doesn't matter, what matters is your thoughts. When do you plan to bring her back?"
"Maybe in August. She has just finished her college entrance examination and has some personal matters to deal with."
He's actually a high school student?!
Mrs. Shao covered her chest and almost couldn't breathe.
Sister-in-law Hua had quick eyes and quick hands to help her pat her back.
Seeing Mrs. Shao like this, Shao Lin also expressed nervous concern: "Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mrs. Shao took a deep breath and exhaled, trying to suppress the emotions in her heart, "It's okay, maybe it's too hot and a bit stuffy."
"Since you have decided to take this person home, how do you plan to arrange the person named Yuan?"
When Yuan Jia was mentioned, Shao Lin's face turned cold, "I will take care of the Yuan family myself, Mom, you don't have to worry."
Mrs. Shao looked at her son in surprise, and finally said, "You just have to know what's going on."
The sun was like a fire, making the ground feel hot, but Mrs. Shao's yard was much cooler and more comfortable than other places because of the flowers, grass and green plants in the garden.
Especially the old jasmine tree, which is more than two meters high, has a beautiful shape, lush green branches and leaves, and countless chrysanthemum-like white flowers dotting the entire crown of the tree like stars. The garden is full of elegant floral fragrance that is refreshing.
"Mom, I want to ask for something from you."
This was the first time Mrs. Shao saw her son showing hesitation, and she couldn't help but feel strange.
"Tell me, can I give you what I have here?"
Shao Lin stretched out his hand and pointed at the old jasmine plant, "Mom, please give me this chrysanthemum jasmine plant."
Mrs. Shao was slightly stunned, "Don't you always dislike these flowers and plants? I said before that I would move a few orchids into your yard, but you still didn't want them."
"Momo likes these. I plan to clear out the yard next to mine for her to live in, and then transplant this old jasmine plant there. When the yard is filled with the fragrance of jasmine flowers, she will definitely like it."
"..."
It’s true that a son cannot help his mother, and a daughter can’t stay in the family. This person hasn’t even entered the door yet, and he’s already starting to have ideas about her yard!
"No."
"Why?"
Mrs. Shao didn't even bother to give her son a chance, "It's a dead tree but a living thing. I've been raising this old jasmine plant for more than ten years. If I change the location, it may not bloom as well as it does. If you want to plant flowers for it, where is it outside?"
If you can’t find it, why do you have to poach it from me?”
"There are some outside, but without Mom, you are so good here. Mom, is there really nothing we can do?"
"No."
Shao Lin stood up with some regret, "Okay then, you can take a lunch break. I'll go back to eat first. I have to arrange for someone to clean up the yard for Momo in the afternoon."
After walking into the yard, Shao Lin deliberately walked to the jasmine tree in Laozhuang, walked around in a circle, and then left in three steps.
"Sister-in-law Hua, ask two gardeners to come over this afternoon and dig up that old jasmine plant for me!"
Sister-in-law Hua smiled secretly, "Madam, you are still the same as before, with a sharp tongue and a soft heart."
Mrs. Shao snorted coldly, "Instead of being remembered, it's better to dig it up, out of sight, out of mind!"
