"Hello sir, the total consumption is one hundred and forty-eight, and I will charge you one hundred and forty yuan."
Yang Chen took out his wallet and said, "I'll do it."
"No, we have already agreed that I will treat Xinghe and Auntie for this meal." Mo Bei was not polite, he looked at Yang Chen firmly and held down his hand that was taking out the money.
Yang Chen also looked back with firm eyes, "How about this, Mr. Mo, I will pay for the dishes we order next."
Mo Bei raised his eyebrows. Naturally, he didn't care about the money, but since Yang Chen insisted, he had no reason to disagree.
Yang Chen took the bill, roughly counted the dishes Zhao Shengnan ordered, and then took out fifty yuan banknotes and handed them to the boss.
Mo Bei shrugged, took out a hundred yuan, and paid the rest.
"This is the first time I treat someone to dinner with someone else." Mo Bei smiled helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, you ask for yours and I ask for mine."
"How long have you known Xinghe?"
"From the time she was born to now." After hearing Yang Chen's answer, Mo Bei paused for a moment while collecting his wallet.
"It's been a long time, why haven't I heard her mention you?" Oh, this damn man's desire to win.
"It's just that Xinghe has been a little angry with me recently."
"Oh? Because of your future girlfriend who is a high-ranking disciple?" Mo Bei asked jokingly as if he didn't care.
At the dinner table just now, he saw everything. He could feel Yang Chen's displeasure when he appeared next to Xinghe, but Yang Chen was reluctant to give up his high-ranking girlfriend.
Mo Bei shook his head, "Brother, I don't understand your choice. But thank you."
Of course Yang Chen understood what Mo Bei meant, and his face turned pale for a moment, "So you really like Xinghe and plan to be with her seriously?"
Mo Bei asked seriously, "Of course, is there anyone who is not serious about being together?"
"You are very different."
"Not big, they are all human beings with two eyes and one nose."
"The reason why you think so is because you don't understand Xinghe's past."
Mo Bei smiled, "I think we can stop talking about this."
Yang Chen shrugged, "Xinghe is a simple girl, I hope you don't approach her with a curiosity-seeking mentality."
"Go back, they are impatient." After Mo Bei finished speaking, he no longer waited for Yang Chen's answer and walked straight back.
After several people had eaten and drank, they got up and walked out.
"Yang Chen, let's go then. You can come to our farm to play when you have time." Wang Fang took Yang Chen's hand and patted it.
"Farm? Auntie, don't you live in Fengle anymore?"
"No, we live in the suburbs now. Oh, by the way, we also have a phone. Go ask Xinghe and ask her to give you the phone. In the future, you can contact Auntie more often."
"Okay, I understand, Auntie." Yang Chen used to call Wang Fang Auntie, but now he has completely changed his tune.
Mo Bei stepped forward, opened the car door for Wang Fang, blocked the car frame for her with his hand, and then gently closed the door.
"Xinghe, so where have you moved? What's the phone number of your new home?"
"088-7887205. But please keep my phone number secret, even to Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang. I'm a little worried in case someone accidentally overhears me during the chat, you know."
Yang Chen nodded, "Of course, don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about you and auntie being in Yunding, and I won't tell them in the future."
"Thank you then. Goodbye then. Bye."
"Goodbye, sister Xinghe." Zhao Shengnan waved his hand beside him.
"Goodbye Shengnan." Li Xinghe also waved and smiled, and then got into the Crown Car.
Watching the Crown Car drive away, Zhao Shengnan said with envy, "Wow, Sister Xinghe has fallen in love with Mo Bei at such a young age. I didn't expect that Mo Bei would actually like this little sister from the countryside.
"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yang Chen's tone was obviously unhappy, what does sugar daddy mean, "Xinghe disdains sugar daddies, and what's wrong with the countryside? Do you look down on people from the countryside? I'm from the countryside too."
"Eh? Yang Chen, why do you have such an attitude? How could I look down on rural people? I just said it casually."
Seeing that Yang Chen still had a gloomy face, Zhao Shengnan finally became angry, "What do you mean? Yang Chen, you have obviously been out of body since you met her. What kind of sister have you known for twenty years? I think you are just interested in her."
Right? Why don't you pursue her if you are interested in her? Then why are you talking to me?"
After saying that, Zhao Shengnan waved his hand to take a taxi, got into the taxi and left.
Yang Chen looked at the taxi driving away, neither bothering to chase it nor wanting to chase it. He leaned on the side of the road and lit a cigarette.
He had recently learned to smoke cigarettes. When he was confused and in a bad mood, he would light up a cigarette.
He repeatedly warned himself in his heart that Li Xinghe would not have a future with him, so in addition to giving her some help within his ability, he had always controlled himself to give her real care and affection.
But when he realized that she no longer needed his help, he felt so uncomfortable.
When there was a man by her side who was even better than him, he had just subconsciously thought about breaking them up. In his heart, he felt that Li Xinghe was not worthy. He was sensitive about his origin, and he tried to escape from that circle and origin.
So he gave up on Li Xinghe, but when she had another man, he even felt that someone from the same background was not even on the same level as him. How could she, who was so low in the dust, have a better man than him?
Woolen cloth?
He even felt terrible about his own thoughts. He actually felt that Li Xinghe could not be happy and that she did not deserve a better man than him.
He hoped that she, who came from the same village as him, would live under his wings all her life and could only be protected by him invisibly.
He was in a big city, married the director's daughter, and rose to prominence step by step. Then he came to protect her, gave her a place to live, gave her money, and took her out of the countryside, and she became his lover. This was the perfect ending in his heart.
Yang Chen finished smoking a cigarette and filtered out the evil thoughts in his heart.
He smiled to himself.
Yang Chen, you are really a complete bastard. For the first time, he truly faced himself, this shameless reality and perverted desire for control.
She can't be a rich man's plaything, she can only be her own plaything.
How did Li Xinghe know that Yang Chen's mentality had become like this. She still looked bad and looked out the window silently. Wang Fang had fallen asleep firmly at this moment.
Mo Bei looked at her face and said, "No matter what happened before, everything is over now. If contacting and meeting people from before makes you uncomfortable, then just don't see each other again."
Li Xinghe nodded, "You're right, it's all over."
If Mo Bei didn't tell her, he wouldn't ask.
"So, what books did you buy?" In the bookstore just now, she picked hers and he looked at his. So he didn't get a glimpse of her reading preferences.
"They are all novels. I can't understand those professional cultural books. I borrowed them from my teacher when I was a child, and all I read were novels."
"Well, I also like novels. In books, I can read other people's lives and escape from my own real world temporarily."
