Chapter 442: Broken Story
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Zhai Jing heard the delivery man’s words, he didn’t feel offended. Instead, he pursed his lips and chuckled. He admitted generously,
“Yes, my girlfriend ordered it for me.”
The delivery man glanced at Zhai Jing’s face and said enviously,
“Brother, you’re so lucky.”
If he was so handsome, he wouldn’t have to run errands. The delivery man thought that Zhai Jing had managed to get rich because of his good looks, although it was close to the truth to some extent. After all, Le Wan did like Zhai Jing’s looks at first.
Zhai Jing didn’t know about the delivery man’s little method. He held the four bags in one hand and dialed Le Wan’s number.
“I’ve already received them. You don’t have to spend so much money. I’ll just eat a little.”
“Can this be called spending money? You’re my boyfriend, and you want me to order takeout from a cheap hotel for you? If word gets out, where will I put my face?
Le Wan sounded as if she didn’t lack money.
Grand hotels were a meme on the internet. It was about chain snack bars. Because they were cheap and full, they were everywhere and could be seen everywhere. Therefore, they became the first choice of cheap fast food for many salaried people. Then, they were jokingly called cheap grand hotels by netizens.
Zhai Jing also happened to know this joke. He looked up and saw the bright sign of the snack bar in front of him. He couldn’t help but laugh.
Le Wan was baffled. Was this joke that funny?
Zhai Jing smiled.
“I’m at the entrance of the snack bar now.”
Le Wan had only said it casually. She didn’t expect it to be so coincidental, so she couldn’t help but laugh as well.
After the two of them laughed for a while, Le Wan clutched her stomach which was tightening from laughing.
“It’s so late. You should go back quickly. Eat and rest early. I won’t disturb you today.”
It was mainly because Le Wan was a little tired herself. After getting off the plane during the day, she wanted to 20 home to rest. However, because Second Uncle Le had come to her house to make a scene, she was a little agitated and didn’t feel sleepy. At the same time, she was also a little concerned about Second Uncle Le’s abnormal attitude. She was afraid that he had done something during this period, so she sent someone to investigate.
In the end, she was already very tired after all the trouble. If it wasn’t for the fact that she wanted to say goodnight to Zhai Jing, she would have climbed into bed to rest just after ten o’clock.
Hearing the sleepiness in Le Wan’s voice, Zhai Jings heart warmed.
“Good night, Wanwan.”
“Yes, alright…”
Hearing this, Le Wan felt relieved. She hung up the phone, stuffed her phone into her pocket, and fell asleep.
Zhai Jing also walked downstairs.
This was an old building built in the 1980s. It was only six stories high, so there was no elevator installed. Their family rented Room 502.
Initially, after Mother Zhai was discharged from the hospital, his financial situation was much better. Therefore, he asked Mother Zhai if she wanted to change to a better environment.
However, Mother Zhai refused.
“I’m already used to living here. I don’t want to change.”
The infrastructure in this old neighborhood couldn’t keep up with the development of the city. Looking at the surrounding environment, it seemed rather messy.
At that time, the mother and son lived here because the rent was cheap. They were lucky enough to meet a kind landlord. Seeing that they were only a widow and her son and that Mother Zhai was sick, the landlord even reduced part of the rent. When they were in dire straits and couldn’t afford to pay the rent, he didn’t urge them. Instead, he told them to stay here in peace and that it wasn’t a problem to pay the rent later.
They had been living here for almost ten years. In their hearts, although it was a rented house, it was still considered their home. It was normal that Mother Zhai was reluctant to move out.
Zhai Jing opened the door and entered. The room was filled with warm lights. This was a slightly narrow room with two rooms and one living room.
“You’re back?”
Mother Zhai heard the commotion and walked out of the living room.
“Didn’t I tell you to rest first?”
Zhai Jing changed his shoes at the door and looked at her disapprovingly.
“I couldn’t sleep well without waiting for you to come back.” Mother Zhai confessed.
She stepped forward to take the bag from his hands, but Zhai Jing gave way and pushed her back toward the living room.
“I’m not a porcelain doll. I can do such a small thing.” Mother Zhai felt helpless. “You haven’t eaten anything, right? I’ll go get it for you…”
At this moment, Mother Zhai noticed the bag in his hand. She recognized the logo and immediately guessed who made these things.
She opened her mouth to say that it was too expensive, but then she thought that perhaps these things were just a casual mention to Le Wan. Given the conditions of the two families, their views on consumption were naturally different..
