Gu Wenrui went up to the second floor.

The environment on the second floor is quieter. There are six tables in the hall, but no one is sitting there. However, chatter and laughter can be heard from time to time in the private rooms on both sides.

When he reached the door of Qinglian Residence, he opened the door and went in without knocking.

Zhang Aimeng, who was pestering Bai Xiaowei and asking questions, had her voice stuck in her throat: "...Huh? Xiao Gu? Why are you here?"

Bai Xiaowei and Su Yixing both looked at Gu Wenrui, who came uninvited.

Gu Wenrui faced the two of them calmly: "What? You're not welcome?"

As he spoke, he pulled up a chair and sat down.

The table is a round table for eight people.

Because there were only three of them at the beginning, the seats were spread out - Su Yixing sat in the middle, Zhang Aimeng sat in an empty seat on the left, and Bai Xiaowei sat in an empty seat on the right.

Gu Wenrui sat next to Bai Xiaowei, as comfortable as if he was just late.

"The food hasn't been served yet. It seems like I got lucky."

"Is it enough? How about ordering a few more?"

There was a menu on the table in the private room, and he picked it up and read it politely.

Bai Xiaowei saw him like this. Although she was still angry with him, she would not lose face in front of Yixing and Aimeng.

She pointed to the dishes on the menu and whispered to him which ones had already been ordered, so that he could just order what he wanted.

Listening to the soft voice in his ear, Gu Wenrui's depression dissipated a little, and his original desire to disrupt the situation also faded a lot.

The waiter started to serve the first dish. Bai Xiaowei moved the chair in and waved to him: "Come over to me and don't spill the food on you."

Hearing her thoughtfulness, Gu Wenrui felt better again.

Seeing that the atmosphere was lively again, Zhang Aimeng couldn't help but continue the topic: "Xiaowei, you didn't say anything just now, how did you do it? I was originally afraid that after this incident, people in the courtyard would I spread rumors about you for fear of ruining your reputation..."

"That's it, Duan Jian is going to declare third-class merit for you personally. I don't think anyone who dares to spread your gossip will be in trouble with Duan Jian!"

Bai Xiaowei smiled lightly: "It's just luck."

"What kind of luck?"

Zhang Aimeng was very dissatisfied with this answer: "Post meetings are held three to five times a week. Over the years, I can't even remember the names of criminal suspects reported by other posts, let alone those who received stolen goods. Come on, you obviously have strength, but you still have to be humble."

"Excessive humility is pride, huh!"

Seeing her pretending to be angry, Bai Xiaowei explained helplessly: "It's really luck. I can't remember the names of criminal suspects reported by other posts. The reason why I can remember the name Wang Dazhuang is because I was a child. My neighbor’s name is Wang Dazhuang. He had a quarrel with my grandmother. In order to retaliate, he stopped me several times on my way home from school..."

"Ah?" Zhang Aimeng was shocked.

Su Yixing looked over with a distressed look on his face.

Gu Wenrui's eyes darkened. Forget being bullied by her husband's family, was she still bullied by her neighbors when she was a child? What is her past like?

Bai Xiaowei didn't want to make people worry, so she comforted with a smile: "Don't worry, am I not fine now?"

"I was just in elementary school at that time, and Wang Dazhuang was in his prime. He was still chasing me with a stick in his hand. Fortunately, there were deep grass everywhere in the countryside. It was easy to hide people, so I hid in the grass. It wasn’t until dark that I heard my grandma calling me and I ran out.”

Speaking of the past, Bai Xiaowei looked nostalgic.

She was missing the happy time with her grandma, but she didn't notice that Zhang Aimeng's eyes were looking at her with a faint glimmer of water.

Su Yixing's face was full of pity, and he kept thinking about the pitiful little girl who was chased by a strong man and couldn't choose the way. He just wished he could go back in time to rescue her, and then beat up Wang Dazhuang to vent his anger.

Gu Wenrui held Bai Xiaowei's hand. The resentment in his heart had dissipated, leaving only heartache - how desperate would a little girl of how old be when faced with a man who could crush her to death with just one hand?

Bai Xiaowei withdrew her hand and glared at him. Just as she was about to say something more, she saw Zhang Aimeng suddenly started to drop golden beans. She quickly took out a tissue and stood up: "Oh, Mengmeng, are you okay?"

He passed behind Gu Wenrui in a funny way, walked towards Zhang Aimeng, and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, I'm telling you, that Wang Dazhuang went to the market one day and was kicked away by a crazy donkey and hit his back. A big stone, maybe a spinal fracture or something. At that time, the medical conditions were far worse than now, and it was a rural area, so... I was paralyzed."

Zhang Aimeng was sobbing. He paused when he heard this, raised his eyes with tears in his eyes and repeated: "Paralyzed?"

"Yes."

Bai Xiaowei nodded heavily: "Although it is sad news, I just can't help but be happy. Do you think I am unkind?"

"whee."

Zhang Aimeng burst into laughter, with tears still hanging on her face, all glistening.

Su Yixing couldn't help but smile, he was paralyzed, God has eyes!

Gu Wenrui twitched his lips: "It's an advantage for him!"

He's actually paralyzed, otherwise he wouldn't care how many years have passed and would just break the legs of any woman who dares to bully him.

Zhang Aimeng just sat down and hugged Bai Xiaowei's waist: "Xiaowei, did you live in the countryside when you were a child? Was it quite difficult?"

Bai Xiaowei patted Zhang Aimeng's head and was about to answer.

At this moment, the door of the private room was suddenly knocked lightly. Several people thought it was a waiter serving food and did not pay attention.

However, a sweet voice sounded outside the door: "Excuse me, can I come in?"

Without waiting for an answer, the outsider pushed the door open and walked in with a bit of undisguised arrogance.

After all, in Chen Manman's perception, she was a noble person who came back from Beijing, and she really didn't look down on people from this eighteenth-tier town.

If it weren't for that overly good-looking man just now, she wouldn't have condescended to come to this private room.

So as soon as she entered the door, she glanced casually and fixed her eyes on Gu Wenrui, who was not far from the door.

The lazy sitting posture that was casual but could not hide his noble aura allowed Chen Manman, who was accustomed to seeing dignitaries in Beijing, to conclude at a glance that this man was a distinguished guest of this small county like her.

"Hello, sir, my name is Chen Manman. What is your name?"

Chen Manman has an elegant smile, a straight back, and expensive clothes, all of which show her uniqueness.

Gu Wenrui's eyes flashed with impatience, and he was worried that he couldn't find an outlet, when this woman who didn't know whether she was alive or dead appeared, well done!

However, no one in the private room noticed the coldness in Bai Xiaowei's eyes after Chen Manman announced her name.

She pretended to go back to her seat, and slowly pulled Zhang Aimeng's arm around her waist. When she passed by the door, she gently locked the door, and then looked at Chen Manman's profile, as if she was confirming something further. .....
