Chapter 196 Suddenly meeting Qian Lai

Jiang Duoduo looked in the direction of Shi Wenyan's finger, and saw a dazed woman standing on a small bridge not far away.

"This person...why do I feel like he looks familiar?"

Jiang Duoduo narrowed her eyes slightly, leaned back in her chair and muttered to herself.

"Duoduo, what did you say? Look familiar? How could you run into someone you know in Shajiang Ancient City?"

Shi Wenyan stood up from the chair with a puzzled look on her face and looked at the woman on the bridge again.

"I'm not sure either... Wenyan, you wait here for Mingming and the others, I'll go over and take a look!"

Jiang Duoduo stood up from her chair and walked towards the stream across with a nervous look on her face.

She thought to herself, this is a teahouse, no one would commit suicide here, right?

Besides, the bridge here is not high and the stream below is very shallow, so you won’t die if you jump in!

"Pah...what am I thinking about!"

Jiang Duoduo took a few quick steps until she was getting closer and closer to the woman.

"Hello! The guardrail of this small bridge is very low. It's quite dangerous to stand here."

Jiang Duoduo slowly approached the man, wanting to see if this person was someone she knew.

The woman slowly turned her head when she saw someone talking to her.

"River……"

"Qian Lai!"

The other party's reaction seemed to be a little slow, and Jiang Duoduo recognized that this person was Qian Lai at the first moment.

Ever since I met her boyfriend Zheng Wenlang when I was doing the free meal mission at Qian Lai's house, there has been some estrangement between the two.

Later, Jiang Duoduo also invited Qian Lai out for dinner on WeChat, but Qian Lai said he was busy, so Jiang Duoduo didn't bother to go out with him.

But it’s only been half a year since we last met, how come Qian Lai has lost so much weight?

Jiang Duoduo remembered that she used to look fatter than Liu Feifei, but now her face is so thin that she looks unrecognizable. Jiang Duoduo is worried that Qian Lai is sick.

She remembered that Qian Lai's parents had always lived in Shajiang. Could it be that Qian Lai came here to recuperate?

"You got the wrong person..."

When Qian Lai saw that it was Jiang Duoduo, her expression became even uglier! She simply said, "You've got the wrong person," and hurried down the bridge to leave.

"How could that be? Qian Lai..." Jiang Duoduo chased after her and shouted again.

"Lai Lai...why are you here alone? Come on, go back with Dad!"

A couple in their fifties hurried towards the small bridge, and the man pulled Qian Lai and walked forward.

The woman turned around to look at Jiang Duoduo and asked, "Do you know our Lai Lai?"

"Hello, Auntie! My name is Jiang Duoduo, and I live in the neighborhood next to Qian Lai in J City."

Jiang Duoduo briefly introduced herself to the haggard-looking woman in front of her.

"Jiang Duoduo! I used to hear my Lai Lai mention you often. She said you played really well with her cat..."

When Qian's mother talked about Qian Lai in the past, her eyes lit up unconsciously, but then dimmed again.

"Auntie...why has Qian Lai lost so much weight recently? Is there something wrong with his body?"

"Alas... our Lai Lai's fate... is to suffer from all kinds of emotional pain..."

When Qian's mother saw that Jiang Duoduo cared about Qian Lai from the bottom of her heart, the bitterness in her heart began to rise again.

"Could it be that scumbag Zheng Wenlang cheated on me?"

Jiang Duoduo said angrily with a cold expression.

When she heard that it was a broken heart, she thought of that scumbag Zheng Wenlang, but Qian Lai was unwilling to believe it when she told him.

But Jiang Duoduo was a little puzzled. Hadn't this happened many times before?

Qian Lai would only be sad for a short while each time, and then she would throw herself into the next relationship with full enthusiasm.

"It's this scumbag! No, he's not only a scumbag but also a liar! Qian Lai's house, car, and savings were all swindled away by him in just six months, and now he can't even be found!"

"It's also my fault, her father and I. We've been living in Sajiang and haven't really paid much attention to what kind of friends Lai Lai makes! This time, our Lai Lai is really having a hard time. She even considered suicide. Her father and I have no choice but to watch over her every day."

Mother Qian was so excited that she wanted to tear Zheng Wenlang, the scumbag, to pieces.

"Auntie, have you called the police? We can't let Zheng Wenlang, that scumbag, get away with so much money."

When Jiang Duoduo heard that this scumbag not only cheated her out of love but also stole so much money from Qian Lai, she was extremely angry.

"I reported it! It's no use! That scumbag was well prepared. I guess he approached our Lai Lai just for money. But he was so good at pretending. In the name of love and marriage, he made Lai Lai willingly transfer all the money and the house to him!"

"How could our Lai Lai be so stupid? Now we only have a small 80-square-meter house left in J City. Luckily, it's under my name and her father's, otherwise we would have lost it. This way, our family still has a place to live."

"Actually, Lailai's father and I think money can be earned again, as long as Lailai is fine! But Lailai has always been worried about money. She always feels that she was cheated and her entire family fortune was lost!"

Qian's mother's eyes welled up as she spoke. She suddenly grabbed Jiang Duoduo's hand and said, "Duoduo, our Lailai doesn't have many friends! I just happened to meet you this time. If you have time, could you help me persuade her? Lailai has become so thin now! Her father and I are so heartbroken!"

"Okay... I'll try! Auntie, are you guys here for tea today too?"

Jiang Duoduo looked around the teahouse and asked.

Because apart from those who come here to consume, outsiders should not be able to come in!

"This teahouse was jointly opened by Qian Lai's father and a few of Sajiang's friends."

"Ever since Qian Lai was scammed, all our savings have been invested in this tea house. To be honest, we really don't have much money, so we had to give up the rent on the small house in Shajiang."

"It just so happened that there were two habitable rooms behind the teahouse, so we said hello to a few partners and moved in."

"Duoduo, if it's convenient for you, could you come with me to the back room and talk to Lailai?"

Faced with Qian's mother's pleading look, Jiang Duoduo really couldn't refuse.

So she called Shi Wenyan and said that she met a friend from J City here and wanted to go over to say hello.

After Shi Wenyan waited for Feifei and Mingming, the three of them ordered some tea and snacks to drink first.

……

"Duoduo, Lailai lives in that room."

Qian's mother brought Jiang Duoduo to the back of the teahouse and pointed to a house with a decoration style similar to that of the teahouse.

"Who is this?"

Just as Qian's father sent his daughter to her room, he saw Qian's mother coming back with a strange girl.

He looked carefully and found that the girl seemed to be standing on the small bridge where Lai Lai was.

"Hello, uncle! My name is Jiang Duoduo, and I'm Qian Lai's friend in J City!"

"Oh... it's Lailai's friend! Then please come in! Lailai hasn't talked to people his age in a long time."

Father Qian quickly welcomed Jiang Duoduo over and whispered to Qian Lai's room, "Lai Lai, your friend is here to see you!"

"Jiang Duoduo! Do you think it's funny to laugh at me?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Duoduo entered the house, she met Qian Lai's cold gaze.
