Su Ruanruan took them to sit in the waiting area, where there were some free melon seeds and a few interesting picture books that even a layman could understand.

Gu Ji glanced at Zi Wu and said, "I recognize her. She is the owner of the tofu shop. So... is this shop opened by your boss?"

Su Ruanruan nodded seriously.

Qin Bei looked at the magnificent decoration, touched the table and the stool under his buttocks, "This..."

"This seems to be made by my furniture factory. And the shopkeeper you mentioned, I seem to have met him once before in the furniture factory."

Su Ruanruan smiled at him, "You are right. Except for the hot pot table, which has been processed twice, the tables, chairs and benches outside are all made by you."

Qin Bei was surprised and asked, "Then... the owner of that furniture factory is the same person as the owner here?"

Su Ruanruan smiled awkwardly, "It's a person."

"Guess, could that person be me?"

Gu Ji and Qin Bei were stunned, and then started laughing.

Gu Ji said, "You must be joking, Ruanruan, how much money these three stores will cost, we dare not even dream of it."

Qin Bei glanced at the family that had just walked out. They were wearing silk and satin, while he was wearing coarse cloth.

He also said, "Ruanruan, why don't we go? This place shouldn't be cheap."

Su Ruanruan smiled with her eyebrows curved, and took their arms, "What are you afraid of? Sisters, I have money. Today, you can drink and eat as much as you want. You don't have to save money for me."

Ziwu walked over here, as if she hadn't seen her master smile so happily for a long time.

"The table is clear, you can go in."

Su Ruanruan took their arms and went in together.

Qin Bei and Gu Ji were reluctant to let Su Runruan spend money, so they simply ordered a few vegetables.

Su Ruanruan was a little amused. How could one eat only vegetables when having hotpot? He asked for all the signs in the restaurant.

It didn't take long before the steaming hot pot, beef and mutton slices, vegetables, duck intestines and tripe were all on the table. The waiter added more fire to the stove and then left.

Gu Ji and Qin Bei had never eaten hot pot before, so they felt a little strange when they saw such a pot for the first time.

But I was soon conquered by the delicious smell and my appetite was whetted.

Qin Bei likes spicy food, Gu Ji likes clear soup, and Su Ruanruan likes either.

The three of them started talking about the days when they wore open-crotch pants, and laughter could be heard from the box from time to time.

During the meal, Su Ruanruan also ordered two pots of daughter's red wine, and the three of them clinked glasses one after another.

Su Ruanruan had a very low alcohol tolerance. After drinking a glass of wine, she was already a little tipsy, and her cheeks were flushed.

She poured herself another glass of wine, her voice choking with sobs, "I heard from my aunt that you two were the first to find Xiaoxi's body. When Xiaoxi was buried, I couldn't make it back in time, and you guys ran around and helped a lot."

"Here, I thank you."

Su Ruanruan drank the wine in the glass, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Ruanruan, don't cry."

Qin Bei and Gu Ji surrounded her on the left and right. Seeing her like this, they were also at a loss.

Su Ruanruan closed her eyes, "Can you tell me, did Xiaoxi die miserably? He was so afraid of pain, why didn't he leave a complete body..."

Thinking of the situation at that time, Gu Ji and Qin Bei's eyes also turned red, and they didn't know how to comfort Su Ruanruan.

Seeing that none of them refuted, Su Ruanruan could imagine how tragic it was at that time. She leaned on Gu Ji's shoulder and cried bitterly.

Qin Bei looked at the crying person and lowered his head sadly.

The waiter came in to add water, but felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he left.

upstairs

Wei Zheng pushed open the door and approached Huo Yan in a servile manner.

"Guess who I just saw?"

Huo Yan paused for a moment while holding the wine glass. "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have something to say, fart now."

Wei Zheng curled his lips, "Rude."

Jin Yu sat upright, looking at Huo Yan who was drinking alone. He felt that his elder brother had not been in a very good mood these days.

I don’t know what happened between him and Su Ruanruan.

Big brother's condition returned to the same state as before, but that time it was for Miss Wanrou, and this time it was for Su Ruanruan.

Niu Mang took a bite of the mutton roll, wiped the hot sweat from his head with a handkerchief, and exclaimed that it was delicious.

He pointed at the hot pot, crispy pork, canned yellow peaches, and milk tea on the table.

"The owner of this store is really a wonderful person. I don't know where he got all these delicious things from."

"It would be nice if my wife was here. I would definitely bring her here to try it."

Jin Yu asked, "What about Miss Xiaoyuan? Don't you plan to bring her here to try it?"

Niu Mang thought for a moment and said, "Well, Xiaoyuan loves to eat. She will definitely like something this delicious."

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "I think that Miss Xiaoyuan is a good match for you. Why don't you marry her?"

Niu Mang waved his hands hurriedly, "Hey, don't talk nonsense, don't tarnish the girl's reputation, there is nothing wrong between her and me."

Wei Zheng smacked his lips and glanced at the three of them. "What's wrong with you two? You're both grown up, but one has a wife but no children, and the other has no wife and no children. I'm worried about you. You should learn from Jin Yu. He already has a son and a daughter, and the children can call you uncle."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yan's brows furrowed even deeper.

Seeing this, Jin Yu quickly changed the subject, "Who did you just say you met?"

Wei Zheng perked up again when he mentioned this. He glanced at Huo Yan and said, "I saw Su Ruanruan downstairs."

Hearing Su Ruanruan's name, Huo Yan paused playing with the wine glass, looked up at Wei Zheng, and then lowered his head to play with the wine glass in his hand.

Seeing him like this, Wei Zheng glared at him with disgust. He didn't know what happened between him and Su Ruanruan, and he didn't say anything when asked.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was worried about her, so why didn't he take the initiative to go look for her?

At the beginning, Miss Wanrou's relationship with someone else was already set in stone and could not be changed.

But the situation is different today. Su Ruanruan is not married, and they have already had this and that relationship, so he should give her a status.

He winked at Jin Yu, "Just now, when the guy lifted the curtain, I accidentally saw Su Ruanruan leaning on the man next to her, crying so sadly. I don't know what happened."

The two looked at Huo Yan's expression, but found that he looked indifferent. He continued to pour wine into the glass, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

They didn't continue talking about this topic, and their minds fell on the fragrant hot pot.

Downstairs, Gu Ji and Qin Bei comforted Su Runruan for a long time before she got tired of crying, calmed down, and fell asleep leaning on a stool.

It was completely dark now and they couldn't go back.

Gu Ji lifted the bamboo curtain, and Qin Bei carried Su Ruanruan out.

The blush on her face became brighter and brighter, and she pouts but doesn't know what to say.

Leaning on Qin Bei's shoulder, her eyelashes were still stained with a thin layer of tears, and she looked very pitiful.
