Although her Weilan family is not so poor that they can't open the pot, eating a sumptuous Japanese meal for no reason, coupled with her mother's frugal personality, it is absolutely impossible for her Wei family to have things on the table now.
"Did you buy it?" Weilan looked at her mother and asked.
"Isn't it from your friend?" Wei's mother looked at Wei Lan doubtfully.
"My friend? Male or female?" Weilan looked at her nose stupidly?! A person appeared in her mind, but she couldn't believe it. He would be so kind?
"Female." Wei's mother replied.
When Wei Lan heard her mother say that it was a gift from a woman, she felt a feeling of relief and loss in her heart, which was extremely complicated.
"Did she say something?" Wei Lan really couldn't guess which girl would give her delicious food. Her only girl friend was Xiao Xi.
"She said that a gentleman named Paul ordered dinner and asked their restaurant to deliver it at this time." Mother Wei repeated the phone number of the delivery person.
"Oh, by the way, the food delivery person is Japanese." Wei's mother said with a smile.
"Weilan, who is Paul?" Wei's mother looked at Weilan with a gossipy face.
"..." Wei Lan was speechless, Mom, can't you finish the sentence at once?! Waitress and girl friend, can't you explain clearly?!
But, Paul?!
Wei Lan remembered the few Japanese sentences Paul said to the lobby manager before serving the meal and going out. They were probably explaining the meal delivery.
But what is his purpose for doing this? Is he to laugh at her for not being able to eat Japanese food? Or is he seeing that she likes Japanese food, or...
"Then... let's eat." Wei Lan sat on the chair with a complicated mood. Just as she was about to start eating, her mother snatched the chopsticks away.
"Don't eat it yet. I asked your brother to bring Xiaoqian back. We can eat it later." Xiaoqian in Wei's mother's mouth is her brother's girlfriend.
Weilan seemed to understand why Paul sent things to her house. Her mother only had eyes for her younger brother, and even in her mother's eyes, Xiaoqian was better than her daughter.
Wei Lan got up silently and went into the bathroom. After washing her hands, she thought about it, took out her mobile phone and sent Paul a text message: I want you to mind your own business.
It depends on how Paul responded. Wei Lan didn't directly ask Paul what he meant by doing this, because he was afraid of embarrassment. What if he really wanted to humiliate her for not being able to eat the Japanese food she liked, so she asked in such an disrespectful manner.
"How about it? Has your mother ever made such a wealthy friend for you and been proud of you?" As soon as the message was sent, Paul's message came back as quickly as if he was waiting for her call or text message.
Wei Lan held the phone in her hand tightly, that was exactly what he meant.
"It's not okay?!" Wei Lan felt the urge to cry while typing. Why could someone who had just known each other for a few days, even had some grudges, and was not considered a friend, notice her?
Her mother couldn't. She just asked her who Paul was and never asked her again.
Even though she hasn't done anything outstanding since she has grown up, she is not bad at all. At least compared to her younger brother, her status as a police officer should not embarrass her.
"It seems that I will send some gold bars next time." Paul's text message was quickly replied to.
"..." Wei Lan stared at the phone speechless, but there was a strange microwave rippling in her heart. She thought for a long time and didn't know how to respond.
"Why are you silent? Don't just eat. Think about me. With me as a friend, you will never be embarrassed." Seeing that she didn't reply, Paul sent another text message.
"Local tycoon." After Wei Lan sent the text message, she looked in the mirror and found that her eyes were a little red. Without giving herself a chance to think about it, she immediately washed her face with cold water to wake herself up.
In any case, it is impossible for the underworld and the police to be friends.
When Wei Lan calmed down and went out, she found that her brother had come back with his girlfriend, and they were already eating. This meal was sent by her friend after all. She was about to eat just now, and her mother snatched her away.
The chopsticks asked her to wait, but now that they were eating, why didn’t anyone call her?!
Glancing at the restaurant, Wei Lan suddenly lost the mood to eat, picked up the bag on the sofa and was about to go out.
"Sister, don't you want to eat?" Xiaoqian, my brother's girlfriend, called Weilan.
"I'm not hungry, you can eat, I'll go out." After eating noodles out, it's better than eating at home.
"Oh!" Xiaoqian didn't say anything more.
"Go out as soon as you come back and come back early." Wei's father still cared about his daughter and told her.
But from beginning to end, Wei's mother never said a word, and she didn't even remember that her daughter said she was hungry just now. Everyone also forgot that this meal was sent by Wei Lan's friends, and they ate with peace of mind.
After Wei Lan went out, Wei's mother muttered: "Oh, you are so old and you are still at home all the time. You don't even have a boyfriend, and you are not afraid of the neighbors' jokes."
"Mom, don't talk about me all the time. I'm so good. When looking for a boyfriend, you have to choose carefully. And today's meal, wasn't it sent by my friend?" Maybe it's because of her higher education, Wei Lan
His brother Wei Hai has a very good relationship with his sister, but he has always disapproved of his mother always forcing his sister to get married.
Wei's mother was unhappy and glared: "Isn't this just for you? If your sister doesn't get married, how can you marry Xiaoqian? If you have a child after you get married, how can this house accommodate so many people?"
"Then you can't just find a man for my sister. Just say that he was bald last time, let alone his beer belly. He's also bald, how can he be worthy of my sister?" Wei Hai got a headache when he mentioned the bald man.
"I have a good job, a car and a house, so how can I not be worthy of Wei Lan?" Wei's mother's sharp voice sounded confident.
"Auntie, don't be angry, eat more." Seeing that the mother and son were about to quarrel, Xiaoqian immediately opened her mouth to mediate.
Wei Lan took a car to the night market alone and found a roadside stall to order a bowl of noodles. As soon as she sat down, her phone started vibrating. She took it out and saw that it was Paul.
After thinking about it, Weilan answered the phone: "Hello?"
"Have you finished eating? Do you still want to eat?" Paul asked on the phone.
"...It's delicious." Wei Lan's voice changed slightly, and her aggrieved mood made her eyes mist.
"Where are you? Why is it so noisy?" Paul asked.
"Watching TV at home." Wei Lan tried her best to sound more natural, but she was still a little hoarse.
"With all the noise and shouting, do you think I will believe you? Where is it?" Paul asked eagerly.
"Just treat me as home." Weilan replied stubbornly.
