Because she lost her bag and thought about being scolded by her stingy father, Lu Yao hurriedly left Yuan's house.

But she was so nervous and afraid that her legs and feet became stiff and she almost failed to climb up the wall.

She finally got out, and as she walked down the street she was in a hurry, feeling extremely nervous.

"This burden is even heavier now," Lu Yao thought to herself, "In addition to earning the fine, I also have to find a way to get two sets of clothes and shoes. I can't just borrow other people's clothes, and I have to prevent my father from scolding me less."

She was walking down the street muttering to herself when she suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Er Gouzi! Er Gouzi, is that you?"

This seems to be the voice of that guy Songyan!

Lu Yao turned around and saw the familiar carriage.

She ran over quickly and saw Xie Jingran through the open car window.

"Thank you, Master. I'm glad to see you again!" Lu Yao's heart suddenly brightened up! Every part of her body was filled with a feeling of warmth and joy.

This is the only particularly happy moment in this period of time.

Xie Jingran on the other side was also pleasantly surprised, but more surprised:

"Miss Lu, it's really you! What's wrong with you?"

Xie Jingran asked in a rather subtle way, but Song Yan didn't know what to say. He just shouted in surprise:

"It's really Ergou! If you hadn't said he looked like you, I would have almost not recognized him!

Why are you dressed like this? What’s wrong with you? "

This is an old set of clothes with too many patches. It is short, tight and doesn't fit well, making it look even more shabby.

The difference from high-end uniforms to patched old clothes is so great that it is unrecognizable.

Xie Jingran, Song Yan and Zhan Ying all looked at the person in front of them in shock.

"Oh, don't mention it!" Lu Yao seemed to have become a child who had found his parents. His nose felt sore and he almost wanted to cry.

Unfortunately, her stomach suddenly growled loudly, attracting everyone's attention.

Lu Yao then remembered that she hadn't eaten yet.

"It's time to eat, Miss Lu, why don't you come and sit together?" Xie Jingran invited.

"Okay!" Lu Yao agreed.

In front of Xie Jingran, she never pretended to be pretentious. She was really hungry at the moment and had no money to eat.

The group didn't go to any high-end places, but just found a restaurant on the side of the road that looked clean and asked for a quiet spot to sit down.

Xie Jingran didn't even ask Lu Yao what she wanted to eat, and directly ordered six large dishes, including fish and meat, which were very delicious.

In fact, it was already past mealtime. Xie Jingran and the other two had already eaten. Now they were just accompanying Lu Yao to eat, and they were just watching.

Lu Yao didn't hold back and devoured the food at the table.

The three of them looked at Lu Yao quietly, making wild guesses in their minds.

Xie Jingran: What happened to Miss Lu? She doesn't look like someone who works in Yuan's house. Was she kicked out? She was fine, why did she suddenly become like this?

Songyan: How many days has Ergouzi not eaten? Doesn't the Yuan family provide meals? That's not right. She doesn't look like a security guard in the Yuan family dressed like this. What's wrong with her?

Zhan Ying: Miss Lu is like this, has she been robbed? That's not right, considering her skills, this shouldn't happen.

Lu Yao ate for a while and finally didn't feel hungry anymore.

Seeing the three people's puzzled eyes, Lu Yao put down her chopsticks and told them everything that had happened recently.

From that stormy dark night to when she ran out of Yuan's house, she temporarily stayed with her younger sister to recuperate from her foot injury.

From the time he wanted to collect his wages and his luggage after his foot injury had healed, to the day he saw everything that happened at the door of Yuan's residence, to today when he learned that Mr. Yuan had been sold out and Yuan's residence no longer existed.

After hearing this, the three were even more surprised than when they suddenly met the down-and-out Er Gouzi on the street just now!

"Ah? This, this, this is too unbelievable!" Song Yan felt that Lu Yao's experience was more tortuous and exciting than the storybook.

The Yuan residence was actually such a thing, and Mr. Yuan was actually a mistress, and had once been a boy in a brothel!

There was also the ferocious Doctor Yuan, and the entire house was wiped out.

It has only been a few days and so much has happened that Songyan feels like his brain is stuck.

Zhan Ying was not interested in anything else but thought that Lu Yao was a real woman for being able to resist the temptation of beauty and wealth that night!

Xie Jingran felt somewhat calm.

Knowing the details of the Yuan family long ago, he could actually predict that Mr. Yuan might get into trouble because of his identity.

But he didn't expect that the doctor was so fierce, nor did he expect that this day would come so soon and so thoroughly.

"A blessing in disguise. In fact, you have escaped a disaster." Xie Jingran said softly, waving his round fan.

What he cared about most was that Lu Yao rejected Yuan Langjun that night.

What moved him most was her integrity, her indifference to beauty and money, and her self-discipline.

Xie Jingran glanced at Lu Yao tenderly, and felt that she was so, so, cute...

"Alas, this incident has made me realize that one must take the right path in life, no matter how hard or difficult it is, one must not take the wrong path.

That’s not a shortcut, it’s a trap.”

I dare not imagine what would have happened if she had agreed to marry Mr. Yuan for his beauty and the wealth that was within her reach that night, and then met the Yuan family who came with great momentum.

At least, if she were like that, she would not be sitting here today and having dinner with Master Xie.

"So, your work that month was in vain?" Song Yan remembered that he had once envied Lu Yao's monthly salary of six taels.

"What else can I do if I don't work for nothing? The worst thing is that my bag is gone. It contains not only the two hundred coins I saved as rewards, but also my two sets of clothes and shoes!

If my father knew, he would scold me to death. I won’t go back for the time being. I have to make some money in the city as soon as possible! "

After working for a month, I didn't earn a penny and lost two sets of clothes and shoes. My child was so scared that he didn't dare to go home.

After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but laugh for some reason.

"Hehe, Er Gouzi, why are you so contradictory?" Song Yan said jokingly.

"You are greedy, but you refused the wealth and glory that was right in front of you. You are not greedy, but you even took old clothes. All you think about is making money!"

"Brother, how about I call you brother? Can't you see how important money is to me now?

That's not money, that's my life!"

For the first time, Lu Yao solemnly told the three of them about her plan to save sixty taels of silver to pay the fine and save her life.

Songyan was surprised: "Aren't you going on blind dates to find a husband? If you find a husband, won't you not have to pay money?"

Lu Yao: "Do you think I can find a husband quickly? Don't I have to prepare for both situations?"

Prepare two dogs.

After hearing this, Zhan Ying covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly.

After hearing this, Xie Jingran's heart brightened!

Lu Yao saved him, and he has always wanted to repay her.

Especially after getting to know Lu Yao, the more I interacted with her, the more I realized that Lu Yao was a very good person, and my love and gratitude for her became even stronger.

He felt that the gifts he had given to the Lu family were too small, but he was troubled by not being able to find another suitable way to repay the favor.

Now, knowing that Lu Yao wanted to pay the fine to get through the difficult times, Xie Jingran suddenly thought - he could actually pay Lu Yao!

Sixty taels of silver was really a drop in the bucket for him, but it could save his benefactor's life.

You saved me in the past, and now I come to save you.

Isn’t this a great way to repay a favor?

Thinking of this, Xie Jingran became excited.

But he couldn't say it directly. He could see that Lu Yao was a person who cared about her reputation and was very ambitious. If he gave her money right away, she might feel embarrassed and like she was being given alms.

So, Xie Jingran said: "Miss Lu, don't worry, you still have me..."

Oh my, this is too ambiguous!

In fact, what Xie Jingran wanted to say was "You still have me as a friend" and "I can help you."

In the end, I got so excited that I said, "You still have me."

It's so embarrassing for a boy to say this to a girl.

After Xie Jingran finished speaking, his face immediately turned red.
