Yu Shunkang received an inexplicable text message, which scared him and Dong Xin for several nights. They waited in horror for each other to get in touch, but days passed, and no new text messages came in.

"Maybe it's someone's prank. ”

Yu Shunkang breathed a sigh of relief and comforted himself, and Dong Xin also divided his mind to contact Jiang Bai, saying that he would invite the other party to dinner and thank Yan An for saving his life in person.

Jiang Bai agreed and made an appointment at a Chinese restaurant.

Dong Xin attached great importance to this matter as if she was going to marry her daughter, and complained all night that she was in a hurry and had no time to prepare new clothes for Yu Ke. Yan An was harassed by them until late at night to fall asleep, and was dragged up from the bed by Dong Xin early in the morning.

Dong Xin gave her a set of Yu Ke's clothes and asked her to change into them.

"Don't make it seem like our family is treating you badly. ”

said this, but let Yan An take off her clothes when she put them on. She frowned and chattered, and rummaged through the cabinets to find a set of her own clothes for Yan An, as if it was a hoarding of goods in the last century, the color scheme was old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and Yan An was more than ten years old when she wore it.

Dong Xin picked out clothes for Yu Ke, combed her hair and put on makeup for more than three hours, and in the end she was still not satisfied, so she could only turn her eyes to Yan An and say, "Give An An a lot of money." ”

seems to have completely forgotten their previous gap, Dong Xin's appearance facing Yan An at this time is so kind that it is creepy.

Yan An's resistance is useless, and she can only toss with her. When she looked in the mirror when she was done, it really made her laugh.

The complexion, which is more than three degrees darker than before, oozes a rough dull yellow, and many freckles are processed under the eyes, and Yu Ke with a ruddy face is in the same picture, like a refugee who has been famine.

Dong Xin was finally satisfied at this time, put her arm around Yu Ke's shoulders, stared at the two of her who appeared in the same mirror, and praised from the bottom of her heart:

"What a beautiful little girl. ”

......

More than two hours earlier than the agreed time, the restaurant had just opened when they arrived at the place, and the waiter looked at them in surprise and repeatedly confirmed the time of the reservation.

"It's too early. Yan An muttered quietly.

"What do you know!" Yu Ke shouted out without hesitation, "Do you know who the Chao Zhen family is? How can it be possible to make people wait for us!"

"Be quieter!" Dong Xin glared at Yu Ke and said seriously: "I won't let you speak for a while, you are not allowed to speak, you know?"

Yan An sighed, thinking that Dong Xin finally knew what kind of virtue her daughter was.

The waiter sent the menu over, Dong Xin opened it and closed it at a glance, only saying that it was waiting for someone, but he didn't even order a glass of water.

Time passed in the elegant music of the restaurant, and the faint aroma and the warm sunlight outside the window stirred the air on the tip of Yan An's nose, making her sleepy, her eyelids heavy and drowsy.

The hour hand turned around at 12 o'clock, and the cuckoo on the clock poked its head out and crowed, which at once dispersed the sleepy insects hovering over Yan An's head.

The wind chimes jingled, and Yan An looked forward to see a waiter in a black uniform half-hunched over to welcome a woman in a cheongsam.

Dong Xin patted Yu Ke's back hard and whispered, "It's here." ”

"Long time no see. ”

Jiang Bai stretched out his hand and shook Dong Xin gently, and the diamond watch on his wrist crossed a dark light in Dong Xin's eyes. Dong Xin's gaze crossed behind her, shook around the empty restaurant, and asked familiarly:

"How is it alone?"

Jiang Bai didn't react, thinking that Dong Xin was asking the man who was with her that day.

"He's in trouble. As he spoke, his eyes turned to Yan An's face.

Yan An made her inquisitive and curious gaze awkwardly unable to raise her head, and could only stare silently at the dark lines on the table.

Dong Xin pulled Yu Ke to introduce Jiang Bai. Jiang Bai's smiling eyes were on Yu Ke's face, which rarely made Yu Ke lower his head shyly.

Dong Xin continued to talk about Yu Ke's trivial matters without a look, although Jiang Bai had always been listening very carefully, but his eyes did reveal some inexplicability and tiredness. Speaking of the back, Jiang Bai had already sensed that something was wrong, she interrupted Dong Xin's words and said, "Let's eat first." ”

"Our Keke has always had some problems with mathematics, but Chao Zhen's homework is very good, I don't know if Keke has problems in his studies, can he ...... it."

Yan An was so shocked that he almost dropped the cup. She didn't understand why Dong Xin suddenly seemed to lose her mind. Why did she make such a request to others? Could it be that Jiang Bai was well-educated, polite, and wouldn't embarrass her in person?

Who does she think she is?

Jiang Bai closed the menu he had just opened, grabbed the shawl next to him and got up, and said, "I'm sorry, I won't accompany me for the time being, this restaurant is reserved until six o'clock in the afternoon, you can do it yourself." ”

Dong Xin's smile froze on her face, her lips trembled, and she barely squeezed out a sentence, "Are you so busy, how can you be embarrassed?"

Jiang Bai smiled and didn't say anything, but said casually when he took the bag: "Our family Chao Zhen has a bad temperament, and he doesn't get along well with anyone." ”

What did the other party mean by this? Yu Ke looked ignorant and didn't know at all, but Dong Xin's face was extremely difficult to see.

It's right that people are polite and educated, but if people don't point it out, Dong Xin and Yu Ke always have points in their hearts. The other party's words sounded like a reminder, and it was probably a ridicule in Dong Xin's ears, but in Yan An's opinion, this was a clear warning.

"This kid!" Dong Xin was not dead, and when the other party was about to leave, he pulled Yan An and said: "This child is also in the first year of high school, and the previous school is not able to study, I want her to study in the attached middle school with her younger brothers and sisters, if you can, please do me a favor." ”

Yan An instantly had a feeling of heart twitching, she didn't expect Dong Xin to say such a thing at this point in time.

Didn't they always refuse to let her study? Even though she had exhausted her calculations and now that such a big thing had happened, they never relented.

What is it now?

Jiang Bai's eyes slowly moved to Yan An, and after a while, he said, "The High School has always had a student financial aid plan, you just need to submit materials to apply." ”

There was indifference in the words, but the meaning was that they were willing to help.

Yan An looked at Jiang Bai's figure leaving, and couldn't understand for a moment the reason why she hated herself so much in her previous life. She is distinct, distinctly a good and kind person.

Dong Xin was overjoyed and said thank you. As soon as the other party left, her face changed, she looked at Yan An coldly, and said, "People are right, you are really lucky." ”

Yu Ke tugged at Dong Xin's sleeve and said without tears: "Are they unwilling to take care of us?"

Dong Xin patted her face softly and said, "It's nothing, everyone has agreed to help...... When Yan An's application comes down, I will take you to thank them in person. ”

Yan An froze in place, she thought that she still underestimated Dong Xin's shamelessness and ambition.

Dong Xin was still arrogantly saying: "You have to thank me, if it weren't for me, you would want to study in the attached middle school?"
