Chapter 197: The two men put aside their past grudges
"Qian Lai, I don't know why you think this way? Aren't we friends?"
Jiang Duoduo looked at Qian Lai's flickering eyes and knew that she was actually very conflicted.
But only she can overcome this hurdle in her heart.
"Qian Lai, you are still so young. You can earn money again if you lose it. Your parents have never blamed you. They just hope that you can be strong."
Jiang Duoduo said this and pulled a chair to sit opposite Qian Lai.
"But I blame myself... How could I be so blind! Laugh if you want... Actually, you warned me at the beginning... Wuwuwu..."
Qian Lai started crying again as she spoke, and Jiang Duoduo quickly got her a tissue.
Qian Lai now seems like a completely different person. All his previous arrogance and confidence are gone.
"Qian Lai, no matter how much you blame yourself for the past, you can't go back. The only thing we can grasp is the present. It's not too late to start everything from now on!"
"At least your parents have saved a house for you, and now they have invested in this tea house in Saekiang. Even if this is just the starting point, your starting point is much higher than that of ordinary people."
"As for that scumbag Zheng Wenlang, he'll definitely get his comeuppance if he does too many bad things! If you want to deal with him personally, you can't do it in this state. You must make yourself stronger. Only when you become stronger will you have a chance to send that scumbag to jail."
When Qian Lai heard the name Zheng Wenlang, she suddenly stopped crying.
"Duoduo, do I really still have a chance to send this scumbag Zheng Wenlang to jail?"
Qian Lai looked up at Jiang Duoduo, his voice trembling.
"Of course there is a chance!"
Jiang Duoduo looked affirmative and held Qian Lai's somewhat cold hands with her warm palms.
At this moment, Jiang Duoduo's figure began to glow slowly in Qian Lai's eyes!
"Jiang Duoduo...I'm sorry...wuwuwu..."
Qian Lai suddenly rushed over and hugged Jiang Duoduo, and started crying again.
Outside the room, Qian's father and mother stood there, not daring to leave.
"It's okay to cry... Lai Lai finally listened to my advice..."
Qian's mother, standing outside the door, also began to wipe away her tears.
"Look at you, why are you crying like a child for no reason? Go buy some food and treat them to lunch! Our Lai Lai is willing to listen to advice, thanks to this friend."
Father Qian pulled Mother Qian aside and asked her to buy groceries and cook.
At this moment, Jiang Duoduo received a call from Zeng Mingming in the house, asking her why she had disappeared. They had finished their tea and were waiting for her to go back for lunch together.
Jiang Duoduo had no choice but to say goodbye to Qian Lai first and said she would come to see her again after the May Day holiday.
"Okay, thank you Jiang Duoduo for still being willing to be my friend! Then let's get to know each other again. My name is Qian Lai. My parents gave me this name because they hope that I will never lack money in my life."
Qian Lai smiled and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, then extended his right hand towards Jiang Duoduo.
"My name is Jiang Duoduo. My mother gave me this name because she hoped I would be as beautiful as a flower!"
Jiang Duoduo also reintroduced herself and told Qian Lai what her mother Chen Shuyue always said in her ear when she was a child, "My Duoduo will be more beautiful than flowers when she grows up."
"Hahaha... Duoduo, your mom is so foresighted. Now you've grown into a beautiful and charming flower!"
"Qian Lai, your parents' wish will come true. As long as you are willing to cheer up, you will definitely have enough money to spend in the future."
"Okay! I will definitely work hard! I will make sure my parents and I have enough money to spend in the future."
When Qian Lai said this, she seemed to come back to life suddenly, and she felt the blood in her body was boiling.
"Duoduo, why are you leaving now? Let's have lunch together at Auntie's place!"
Qian's mother was about to go out to buy groceries with an eco-friendly bag in her hand when she saw Qian Lai sending Jiang Duoduo out.
"Auntie! I came out to visit the ancient city of Shajiang with my classmates today. They are waiting for me to have dinner together at the teahouse in front! I will stay in Shajiang for several days. I will come to see you in a few days."
Jiang Duoduo pointed towards the teahouse in front and said goodbye to Qian Lai's parents with a smile.
"Mom! Duoduo has an appointment today! Let's put dinner aside for next time!"
Qian Lai walked over, took his mother's arm, and waved to Jiang Duoduo.
"Then you must come next time! Auntie will make you something delicious!"
As soon as Qian's mother finished saying this, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Duoduo had just said that she and her friends were drinking tea in the teahouse in front.
Isn’t that the teahouse that our family invested in?
So he asked Qian Lai to accompany Jiang Duoduo out of the teahouse and give them a free meal.
"Auntie, you don't have to ask Qian Lai to send me off!"
Jiang Duoduo still wanted Qian Lai not to send her off, but Qian Lai was about to come over and put his arm around her.
……
"I have to say, Duoduo has quite a lot of friends. Yesterday she mentioned that she knew the manager of the Tide B&B, and today she ran into an acquaintance again at the teahouse!"
Liu Feifei had already eaten a stack of flower cakes and the grilled squid that Jiang Duoduo had packed for her, and gulped down two cups of tea. She wanted to drink more but was persuaded by Shi Wenyan.
They said this small pot of tea cost 288 yuan. They all drank it, but Duoduo still hadn't finished her cup! I had to leave a cup for her.
"Ah... who of you two found such an expensive place? No wonder there are so few people inside!"
"Don't look at me! Do I look like someone so wealthy?"
Shi Wenyan folded her hands to her chest, sat on a chair and began to bask in the sun lazily.
"Duoduo said on the phone that she'll be back soon! Let's think about what to eat for lunch!"
Zeng Mingming wrapped himself in the newly bought shawl, holding his cell phone and facing the sun to search for nearby shops.
"Let's eat mushroom hotpot! If you come to Sae and don't eat mushroom hotpot, it's like a wasted trip, right?"
Liu Feifei suggested while taking a selfie in front of the tea table with her mobile phone.
She had to take a photo of such expensive tea and post it on WeChat Moments.
"We just had hotpot at Haidilao last night. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to have hotpot again for lunch today?"
Zeng Mingming raised objections.
"How about we go get some rice noodles? There's a very famous traditional Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles restaurant nearby, and it has a good reputation online!"
"We think that when visiting Sajiang Ancient Town, we must try Sajiang cuisine to experience the local characteristics!"
While the three of them were still arguing about what to eat for lunch, Jiang Duoduo and Qian Lai had already arrived at the outdoor booth where they were drinking tea.
"What are you talking about? It's so noisy! I can hear Liu Feifei and Shi Wenyan's voices from far away."
"Ah! Duoduo, you're back!"
When Zeng Mingming saw that Jiang Duoduo brought someone back, he guessed that this person was the friend Jiang Duoduo met.
"Yes! Let me introduce you, this is my friend Qian Lai! We just happened to meet today and chatted for a while."
Jiang Duoduo introduced Qian Lai to the three of them.
"Huh? Aren't you the one who wanted to jump into the creek?"
As soon as Shi Wenyan saw Qian Lai, she felt that he looked familiar. The question she blurted out made Qian Lai and Jiang Duoduo feel a little embarrassed.
