Su Xian has rented a house in this place for many years. There is a restaurant nearby. It is not big, but clean and hygienic. The home-cooked dishes taste very good. When she doesn't want to cook, she punches in here. Over time, she has become very familiar with the proprietress. When she gets off work late, the proprietress will often reserve a seat for her.
The proprietress was over 40 years old. She was shrewd but kind-hearted. Her food was delicious, so her business was pretty good. As soon as Su Xian stepped into the door, the proprietress's loud voice suddenly rang out.
"Why are you so late today?" Inviting them to sit down at their old seats, the proprietress handed the menu directly to Zuo Yueyao: "Take a look at what you want to eat. The dishes in my restaurant are very economical and affordable."
Su Xian smiled and said, "Madam Boss, you see he is short of money, so just order those special dishes. Remember, don't add any spicy food."
"What? Your taste has changed?" In the proprietress's impression, Su Xian did not refuse to eat spicy food.
"It's not me, it's our handsome guy who can't eat spicy food."
The proprietress's face was full of smiles. She looked at Zuo Yueyao's face again and again, then winked at Su Xian. Su Xian smiled knowingly without any explanation.
She has been keeping to herself these years, so it was normal that she suddenly brought a man here today and people would mistake him for her boyfriend. She was too lazy to explain.
“I can eat spicy food.”
The proprietress heavily crossed out the words "Not spicy" and looked back frequently before leaving. It felt like a future mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law and liking him more and more.
The food came out quickly and the portions were generous.
Su Xian joked: "You said I was a beauty, you are not much better. The boss lady usually doesn't serve the dishes so fast."
Zuo Yueyao smiled gently, picked up the chopsticks and tasted the fresh fish. It was fresh and spicy, but he didn't react at all.
Can he really eat spicy food
Halfway through the meal, I couldn't help but wonder, "When did you start eating spicy food?"
"It's been a long time." His stomach was empty. Although the place was small, the food from the kitchen tasted really good. Zuo Yueyao answered while eating: "It was after we broke up. I suddenly wanted to taste what you like."
Su Xian bit her chopsticks, not sure what he meant by being so nonchalant every time he mentioned the word break up.
"It's your turn to answer my question."
"What?"
"How long have you been waiting for me at the hospital?"
I roughly estimated in my mind: "Probably about four or five hours."
"Why didn't you call or message me?"
"I'm afraid you're busy and I don't want to disturb you."
"Why did you come to me suddenly?"
"I'm lonely and want to find a man to chat with."
"Girl." Zuo Yueyao straightened his face, "Answer properly!"
He was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. "Look at you, why are you so serious about eating? You scared me again."
How could she be scared? It's good enough that she doesn't make others angry.
Someone suddenly bumped into the corner of their table, causing it to shake. Su Xian looked up and felt as if he had seen this person somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.
If she can't remember, then just forget about it, but someone helped her remember it.
"Tsk, isn't this Manager Su?"
Su Xian didn't like the tone of the person who came. There was a strong smell of alcohol on the person. It was obvious that he was drunk and was about to make trouble.
His tone was not friendly: "Why? You don't remember me? We met at the last bidding meeting. I'm from Yamato. Manager Su is really a forgetful person. I remember it very clearly."
Yamato
I vaguely remembered someone. Could it be the guy who was dissatisfied with the content of the bid last time? I remember that he had a big fight with the bidding company at that time. After showing off his "bear" style, he was labeled as a brainless person behind the scenes.
Su Xian really couldn't remember his name, and he didn't know why someone who had no grudges against him would suddenly come to pick a fight. After thinking about it, he could only understand that it was because colleagues were enemies when they met.
She wanted to wait for this person to leave on his own accord, but he was not aware of it at all. He sat down on the chair next to her with a red face.
Su Xian glanced at Zuo Yueyao, and there was no extra expression on his face.
"Let's go."
Zuo Yueyao stood up and put on his coat slowly. The uninvited person was treated as a piece of shit and no one paid any attention to him at all. It was no different from a slap in the face, so the person felt very embarrassed and his verbal skills came into play.
"Is this Manager Su's boyfriend?" Scarlet eyes looked at Zuo Yueyao for a while. "Not bad, he's very handsome. I heard that Manager Su has been single for many years. Why is he looking for a boyfriend all of a sudden? Does he feel that he's getting old and has lost his looks, so he wants to find a boyfriend while he still has some looks?"
These words were indeed a bit harsh, but they did not affect Su Xian much. She had not been living in vain for all these years. What kind of harsh words had she not heard
However, Zuo Yueyao narrowed his eyes slightly, staring straight at the person who was talking nonsense, and pursed his lips tightly.
"Your last name is Luo?"
It took me a lot of effort to remember this last name, but I'm not sure if I remembered it correctly.
"It seems that I still have a place in Manager Su's heart."
It may not be appropriate to describe it as alcohol emboldening a coward, because this guy surnamed Luo is not a coward, he is just a young and foolish man who likes to show off his bravery and has a pitifully low emotional intelligence.
"You are in your thirties, right?" Su Xian asked calmly.
Luo was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently: "Yes, I'm thirty-five, what's wrong?"
"Do you know why you are still an insignificant figure in the company at your age?" A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Because your mind is empty except for some dirty things."
"Yamato can let you stay in the company, which should be considered as a help. Otherwise, at your age, you may not be able to find a job outside. Since your company has done you such a great favor, you should work hard. Even if you are a veteran, you should be a well-behaved veteran. Why are you still bringing bad things to your company?"
The man surnamed Luo was not angry at all. Instead, he grinned and said, "It's better to be a veteran than a whore. Nowadays, people laugh at the poor but not at prostitutes. Anyone can give orders. Yes, I don't have your ability. If I had your beauty and charm, I would lie down anywhere and get a bill for my legs."
His neck was strangled tightly, making it extremely difficult to breathe, and his already red face became even redder.
Zuo Yueyao, who had been silent, grabbed Luo's neck and stopped him from saying even more filthy words.
The veins on his neck bulged, and Luo pushed Zuo Yueyao's hand hard, but the hand seemed to be welded to his neck and he couldn't push it away. A tremor broke out all over, and he felt that this man could take his life at any time and anywhere.
Seeing the pig's face almost turning the color of liver, Su Xian tapped Zuo Yueyao's wrist with his finger and reminded him slowly: "If you don't let go, you will really die. If he dies, at most he will be buried in a corner, but you will be splattered with blood and it will stink. It's not worth it."
The force of her fingers became even greater. Su Xian saw the pupils of the person whose life was being strangled dilated and he looked at her for help. Suddenly she realized that Zuo Yueyao was not an ordinary person. If this Luo guy went to the hospital because of this incident, what kind of impact would it have on him
Look, even a simple meal could cause him trouble.
Even if He Xinwan didn't remind him indirectly this time, Su Xian herself found that she was really a trouble to Zuo Yueyao. She couldn't help him at all and even caused trouble.
Su Xian leaned closer to Zuo Yueyao and said coquettishly, "If you don't let go, I will ignore you."
The proprietress ran out and looked at the man who was breathing heavily. She didn't know what had happened and wanted to smooth things over. However, she saw that Zuo Yueyao's expression was serious and gloomy, so she couldn't continue to smooth things over. She thought to herself, who the hell could have made such a handsome man so angry!
Zuo Yueyao loosened his hand, picked up the wet tissue on the table and wiped it again and again, not wanting to look at the person who spoke rudely any more. It turned out that angels also have a devil side. This was the deep impression that Mr. Luo had of Zuo Yueyao.
After the air was silent for a moment, the two of them turned around and left at the same time.
After breathing the air of freedom and deciding that they didn't dare to do anything to him, he lingered on the brink of death for a moment, and in an instant he forgot the feeling of suffocation. Seeing that they were about to leave, he felt as if he would lose his life if he didn't vent his anger.
"Manager Su is indeed an extraordinary person. He has so many people around him who are willing to work for him. I just don't know how it feels for Mr. Huang of your company to be cuckolded every day!"
Su Xian stopped and paused. The endless shameful words hit his eardrums, causing her fists to gradually tighten.
"It seems that Mr. Huang is also a romantic man. With such a beautiful woman by his side, no wonder he gave up his wife and children."
A loud and crisp slap, so quick and hard that it almost made the person see stars.
Luo touched his cheek, which was burning, and his face was filled with disbelief.
He was not familiar with Su Xian, but he had heard that she was a very capable person. He was in a bad mood because he had lost many orders recently. Unexpectedly, he met a colleague who was known as the rose with thorns in the industry. Thinking that she had snatched several big orders from him, he began to feel resentful. Coupled with the alcohol in his head, he talked more fluently than ever.
This slap made him sober up a little. Looking at this woman who was much younger than him but had a successful career, and listening to her clear and loud warning, he inexplicably began to worry.
"I'm warning you. You can say I can, but don't insult Mr. Huang. If I hear you say anything about him again, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
The lady boss finally understood what had happened and accused the man who deserved a beating: "What's wrong with you? You came to our store and talked nonsense. You deserve to be beaten for your harsh words."
