With the driver's driving skills comparable to those of Qiu Mingshan's car gods, the original three-hour drive was shortened by one-third, and it was not even four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived in Qingfeng Town.

It was really fast, but Lin Yuan was really scared by the super speed. When she was sitting in the car, she tightly held Jing Yu's hand next to her. When she got out of the car, she realized that Jing Yu was Yu's hand was scratched by her.

According to the information provided by Assistant Hu, Xie Ronglan has remarried, and her husband is a native of Qingfeng Town. The couple opened a small restaurant in the town to make a living.

Jing Yu and Lin Yuan's original plan was to ask the driver to take them directly to the small restaurant, but as soon as they arrived in Qingfeng Town, Lin Yuan suddenly became nervous again, feeling that she was not ready to face Xie Ronlan.

So the two changed their plans and asked the driver to take them to the only hotel in town.

It is said to be a hotel, but the facilities inside are very basic. It can be said that it is not as good as a guest house. Even the toilets are public. Fortunately, the room is relatively clean, but Lin Yuan still feels that she and Jing Yu cannot stay here tonight. .

But the focus now is not on accommodation, so Lin Yuan doesn't worry about it. At worst, she will go back to the city in the evening. She still has the taxi driver's number on her phone.

In order to relieve Lin Yuan's nervousness, Jing Yu suggested going for a walk to relax, and Lin Yuan thought about it and agreed.

The climate here in Qingfeng Town is not as hot as that in Beicheng, and it is quite pleasant to walk under the shade of the trees. After wandering around for a while, Lin Yuan did feel less panicked.

"Ah Yu, how come it's broad daylight and why don't we see many people on the road?" Lin Yuan took Jing Yu's arm, looked around and asked, "I didn't even see a few shops open."

Jing Yu took out his mobile phone and looked at it for a few minutes before answering Lin Yuan: "This town is basically full of left-behind children and empty-nest elderly people. The young people have gone out to work. At this time, the students are not out of school yet. That’s why it’s relatively deserted.”

Thinking of his previous life, Lin Yuan said with emotion: "If there were job opportunities in my hometown, who would be willing to leave their hometown and go elsewhere."

"I will consider this."

Hearing Jing Yu's confused words, Lin Yuan asked again in confusion, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Jing Yu shook his head, then pointed to a canteen not far away and said, "Let's go buy a bottle of water. A Yuan, you must be thirsty after walking for so long."

Seeing that Jing Yu didn't say anything, Lin Yuan didn't ask any questions and followed him to the canteen.

In fact, the meaning of Jing Yu's words is very simple, that is, if Lin Yuan and her mother meet successfully today, he will consider cooperating with the local government to make some investments in Qingfeng Town.

On the one hand, it can improve the living standards of the people in Qingfeng Town. On the other hand, Jing Yu never wants to have this kind of accommodation when he comes back with Lin Yuan in the future.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the canteen, Jing Yu suddenly stopped and looked at the shop next to the canteen. Lin Yuan followed Jing Yu's line of sight and saw "Liu Ji Restaurant" written on the sign of the shop next door.

Thinking that Jing Yu had said that Xie Ronglan and her current husband ran this restaurant when she came here, and his reaction now, Lin Yuan suddenly understood that this "Liu Ji Restaurant" should be that restaurant.

"Ayu, is this her restaurant?"

Jing Yu nodded, turned his attention back to Lin Yuan, and asked in a soft voice: "A Yuan, do you want to go in?"

"Since both of us can come here casually, it means that this is God's arrangement. Let's go in and take a look. Anyway, we will meet sooner or later."

Lin Yuan prepared herself mentally, took a deep breath, and pulled Jing Yu into "Liu Ji Restaurant".

Because it was not meal time, there was no one in the store. There was only a tall man in his fifties with a somewhat rich figure standing in front of the cashier. When he felt Lin Yuan and Jing Yu come in, the man immediately greeted them. , this man is Xie Ronlan’s current husband Liu Yongji.

"What do you two want to eat?"

Before he could see clearly who the person was, Liu Yongji reflexively asked out. His personality was relatively honest and introverted, and he had an unnatural smile on his face when he spoke.

"This is our first time here. Do you have any signature dishes?" Jing Yu felt Lin Yuan's tense mood, so he said to Liu Yongji himself.

"Our specialty here is peach blossom fish, and it's also our signature dish. Do you want spicy food or..."

Liu Yongji moved his eyes to Jing Yu and Lin Yuan as he spoke. Before he finished asking, the moment he saw Lin Yuan's face clearly, his expression changed drastically and he immediately ran into the kitchen.

"Ayu, do you think he recognized me?"

If he hadn't recognized himself, how could he have such a big reaction? Lin Yuan knew this very well. He became nervous uncontrollably, his eyes fixed on the curtain leading to the back kitchen, and Jing Jing Yu held the hand tighter and tighter.

Jing Yu didn't speak. He knew that nothing he could say now would ease Lin Yuan's mood. He just used his other hand to gently pat the back of Lin Yuan's hand, signaling that he was with her.

In the kitchen, Xie Ronlan was wiping dishes. When she saw Liu Yongji running in, she smiled and joked: "Old Liu, why are you running so fast? Is there a dog chasing you behind?"

"No, no, it's not." Liu Yongji stutters easily when he is anxious, and the more he speaks, the more speechless he becomes. He points outside and stammers vaguely: "Yes, someone is coming, coming, yes ,Yes Yes······"

Seeing Liu Yongji in such a panic, Xie Ronlan thought it was someone coming to the store to cause trouble. Before Liu Yongji could finish speaking, he rushed out before he could put down the bowl in his hand.

"Yes, it's Lin Yuan!"

After Xie Ronlan rushed out, Liu Yongji finally said the rest of his words, but by this time Xie Ronlan had already met Lin Yuan.

Xie Ronlan ran out of the kitchen and was about to speak. When he saw Lin Yuan standing, he was stunned. He seemed to be frozen, his lips were slightly open and his expression was frozen.

Lin Yuan and Xie Ronlan looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

Suddenly, the porcelain bowl in Xie Ronlan's hand fell to the ground, making a loud noise.

The sound of the porcelain bowl breaking woke Xie Ronlan up. She ignored the broken porcelain pieces under her feet and ran to Lin Yuan in two or three steps. She grabbed Lin Yuan's hand with an expression of disbelief on her face and spoke with a trembling voice. He shouted, "A Yuan."
