You can't hold back anymore!

Ruan Mianmian was waiting for this moment.

"Do you know what Xia Ran and they went to do?"

Ruan Mianmian looked at Xiao Liang, and there seemed to be a certain determination between his eyebrows.

These days, Ruan Mianmian can feel that this Xiao Liang must be a person she trusts more than others to Chaoyun.

Because Chaoyun is very precious to that account book, except for Xiao Liang, Ruan Mianmian has never seen Chaoyun let other people guard the counter.

As soon as the words fell, Ruan Mianmian continued to stare at Xiao Liang for a moment, intending to see how he would react.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liang's face was pale and he shook his head directly.

"I don't know. ”

Xiao Liang replied unusually crisply.

Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but wrinkle her brows, in this way, she was a little unsure, whether Xiao Liang really didn't know, or fake.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Liang looked at Ruan Mianmian again, and his tone was faint.

"Since you can't help yourself, you should be honest with yourself and don't trouble me. ”

In Xiao Liang's words, Ruan Mianmian heard full disgust.

Ruan Mianmian glared at him, then nodded in resignation.

"If you don't know, forget it. ”

She can also ask other people.

Xia Ran doesn't have any close people here, but that doesn't mean that Chaoyun doesn't either.

Although Xiao Liang has won Chaoyun's trust, Xiao Liang is not the only employee in this store.

After thinking about it, Ruan Mianmian shifted the target to another restaurant employee.

The other employee was an uncle who looked to be forty or fifty years old, and he looked very handsome, and it could be seen that he must have been quite handsome when he was young, but his hairline looked a little sad.

Now he is the chef of the restaurant, and everyone calls him Uncle Meng.

Ruan Mianmian often sneaks into the back kitchen to steal food, so he has a good relationship with this Uncle Meng.

After Ruan Mianmian left the counter, he went straight to the back kitchen.

At the moment, it was just past breakfast time, the back kitchen was not busy, Uncle Meng was tidying up the cooking table alone, and when Ruan Mianmian went in, he only saw his busy figure.

"Uncle Meng, are you busy, do you need me to help you? ”

Ruan Mianmian was busy with small steps and walked forward happily.

Uncle Meng glanced back when he heard the voice, and when he saw that it was her, he smiled.

Then Uncle Meng said, "Girl, there is nothing delicious at this point now, you have to wait until noon." ”

"Oh no! I'm not here to help out for the good food. ”

Ruan Mianmian rolled up his cuffs as he spoke, picked up the rag by the way, and began to help clean up.

Uncle Meng is also familiar with her, so he didn't stop it, just if she simply cleaned up the countertop, Uncle Meng wouldn't let her get her hands dirty and tired work.

After being busy for a while, Ruan Mianmian began to find a conversation.

"Uncle Meng, how many years have you been working here? I see that the other employees respect you. ”

Ruan Mianmian found an excuse and began to talk to Uncle Meng.

When Uncle Meng heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"The word respect is used there, but I'm the oldest, and everyone takes care of me. ”

Ruan Mianmian smiled and said: "No, everyone really treats you as an elder to get along, it can be seen that you must be very good to everyone in normal times, I think you have been working here for many years, right?"

"That's been a few years. ”

Uncle Meng thought back for a moment and continued: "Back then, this was just a small restaurant, and the conditions were not as good as now, so I came here at that time, half a year earlier than Sister Yun." ”

Half a year earlier than Sister Yun?

Isn't Sister Yun the owner of this homestay?

According to what you say, Sister Yun only became the boss later?

Ruan Mianmian was suspicious, and asked again: "It turns out that it has been so long, so it seems that Sister Yun has run this place well over the years." ”

"That is, Sister Yun's ability, we have all seen it. ”

After speaking, Uncle Meng laughed loudly, as if he remembered something long and interesting, and his eyes softened a little.

"The situation was not good back then, and all of us worked hard with Sister Yun and Xia Ye, and now this is a place for me to retire. ”

"Hahaha! Uncle Meng, you're not old!"

Ruan Mianmian laughed, "Then my brother also came over from that time? It seems that a few of you are the veterans here." ”

"It's not, the small noodle stall back then, but Sister Yun and Xia Ye, I built it with Fang Yue, and now that I think about it, it was all many years ago. ”

Fang Yue?

Who is this?

Ruan Mianmian found that even if she inquired about the news, she couldn't match the person.

"Fang Yue, who is Fang Yue, is he also Uncle Meng's friend?"

Ruan Mianmian asked tentatively.

Uncle Meng hurriedly waved his hand, he said: "Friends are friends, but it's a bit of a year-old friendship, Fang Yue's kid's grade can be my son, and it's about the same as Xia Ye's grade." ”

"So young?"

Ruan Mianmian was surprised, and then asked, "Where is Fang Yue now?" I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen him yet. ”

"Uh......"

Speaking of this, the smile on Uncle Meng's face froze for a moment, and he smiled awkwardly, but somewhat reluctantly.

"This man hasn't been back for a long time, and I don't know where he's gone. ”

After speaking, Uncle Meng stopped gossiping with Ruan Mianmian and turned to other work.

Ruan Mianmian vaguely felt that there must be something hidden in this, just by looking at Uncle Meng's expression, he could know that he didn't seem to want to mention Fang Yue.

Before leaving, Ruan Mianmian said something to Uncle Meng unintentionally.

"Sister Yun has been so busy in the past two days, and I don't know what she's doing, I went out in a hurry with my brother today, and she didn't take me with her. ”

Uncle Meng turned his back to her and replied with a smile.

"You, you, just stay here, I heard that someone has forcibly broken into the town from the sea in the past two days, I'm afraid there will be danger, you better not go out and run around." ”

Breaking into town?

Is it Jiang Ce?

Ruan Mianmian's heart suddenly lifted, and she asked Uncle Meng, "Do you know who it is?"

Uncle Meng shook his head and didn't answer.

After that, Ruan Mianmian left the back kitchen.

On the way, Ruan Mianmian recalled Uncle Meng's words, and he used words like forcible breaking.

It shows that there is also a blockade on the sea, and people should not be allowed to move freely.

Therefore, the only way to enter the town is by land, and the guards are estimated to have Xia Ran's people.

Ruan Mianmian instantly felt that it seemed that the chances of escaping from all the way were very small.

Ruan Mianmian returned to the room full of concern, only to find that there was a small box on the coffee table near the window.

Ruan Mianmian looked around twice, and there was no one else in the room, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she took a closer look at the box on the table, but she didn't get it in her hand.

It is a small box wrapped in red velvet, and the style is simple and elegant, like a jewelry box used to hold some valuables.

What's in there?
