Chapter 155 People are really strange
Hearing her words, He Qiaoyun could actually imagine Liu Biao holding Duan Fei hostage, and couldn't help but laugh, "Did you thank him?"
Xu Hemei: "Of course, I originally wanted to invite him to dinner, but he didn't accept and went back."
He Qiaoyun said, "I have to deliver fruit to the city this afternoon. Let's have dinner together tonight. You can choose the restaurant. It'll be to celebrate your divorce."
Xu Hemei: "Okay, a Sichuan restaurant opened near our hospital. I'll send you the address."
He Qiaoyun: "Mm."
After hanging up the phone, He Qiaoyun went to cook lunch. She ate a simple meal and then started doing the accounts.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, she saw that the fruit had been almost cut, so she let the helpers leave work early.
After settling the wages, loading the fruit onto the truck, and driving towards the city.
There was no traffic jam on the road, and the highway was newly built, so it only took an hour to get to the city.
She delivered the fruit to the fruit shop, parked her car at a small supermarket, and then took a taxi to the restaurant her daughter had booked.
When we arrived at the Sichuan restaurant, it was already 6 p.m., which was dinnertime.
She sat down, and the waiter handed her the menu. She took a picture of it and sent it to her daughter: "What would you like to eat?"
When Xu Hemei received the picture, she was taking off her white coat and about to leave the department. She was looking at the menu carefully while waiting for the elevator.
The director casually walked to his side and asked with a smile, "Little Xu? Going to eat?"
Xu Hemei was startled. She turned her head and saw the director's face. She suppressed a slight smile and said, "Yes, my mother happened to be nearby. She invited me to have dinner at the newly opened Sichuan restaurant next door. Director, you're getting off work so late?"
She found that mentioning her mother was particularly effective, and during this time, the director would always inadvertently bring up her family and inquire about her mother's recent situation, making her somewhat suspicious that the director had a crush on her mother.
The director chuckled, "I just gave the new intern a few instructions, and then it got a little late."
Xu Hemei smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Director."
The director waved his hand, "Oh, it's not hard work, it's all for the medical cause."
The two exchanged pleasantries and compliments as they took the elevator downstairs and left the hospital.
"Then I'll head back now. Please give my regards to your mother." The director waved to her with a smile.
Xu Hemei smiled insincerely, "Okay, Director, please drive carefully."
After the director walked away, Xu Hemei showed a look of disgust, then opened her phone to look at the menu, ordered two dishes, and quickly walked towards the restaurant.
As soon as she sat down in the restaurant, she picked up the lemon tea pot on the table, poured herself half a cup, and gulped it down.
He Qiaoyun joked, "Did you just finish running a marathon?"
Xu Hemei put down her cup. "No, I just ran into the director in the elevator and we chatted for a bit. I felt a little nauseous, so I'm drinking some lemon to cleanse myself."
He Qiaoyun frowned. "What did you talk about? Was he... verbally harassing you?"
Xu Hemei seemed to know what she was going to say and quickly interrupted, "No, I suspect that he likes you."
This made He Qiaoyun's face flush. "What nonsense are you talking about..."
Xu Hemei said seriously, "I'm not making this up. Our director has been talking about you a lot lately, and he's been secretly asking about you. He even asked me to give you his regards just now. Isn't that strange? Ugh, I feel disgusted just thinking about the director's face."
After saying that, she poured herself another half cup of lemon tea and gulped it down in one go.
He Qiaoyun immediately looked embarrassed, "This..."
Xu Hemei put down her cup again and said in a serious tone, as if making an oath, "But don't worry, I will absolutely not try to match you two up. Our director is no good. He's bald, has a receding hairline, yellow teeth, and a greasy face."
He Qiaoyun couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she heard this, "Alright, you're making me sick."
Xu Hemei pouted, "Fine, I won't say anything more."
He Qiaoyun changed the subject, "Let's talk about the divorce this morning. There wasn't too much conflict with Duan Feiqi, right? He doesn't seem like someone who's easy to deal with. After you treated him like this, he won't bother you again in the future, will he?"
Xu Hemei stared at her for a long time before saying, "Mom, can you believe it? It seems like I've made up with Duan Fei today."
This surprised He Qiaoyun. "Reconciliation? What do you mean?"
Xu Hemei recounted what had happened that day.
He Qiaoyun was shocked. "You mean, he took the initiative to say goodbye and apologize to you?"
Xu Hemei nodded, "Yes, I really didn't expect it to end like this, and I feel quite bad about it."
Actually, rather than both of them finding peace, she would have preferred them to hate each other. That way, when she thought about it later, she would still have something to curse, and she would feel relieved afterward. This unexpected reconciliation, however, made her feel a little guilty...
People are really strange.
This silenced He Qiaoyun. If it were her, she probably wouldn't feel good either. She said, "Don't think about it, just eat."
"oh....."
The two ate the spicy dishes on the table in silence, hissing and spitting from the spiciness, and soon the pot of iced lemon tea was almost empty.
Xu Hemei was sweating from the spiciness. "My colleague said this place is authentic, and then I remembered that it's his hometown cuisine. How could it not be authentic? It's so spicy!"
He Qiaoyun was so spicy that she couldn't speak and kept drinking water. The two of them asked the waiter to bring them another pot of lemon tea.
Finally, the two of them ate their fill of rice while enjoying lemon tea and picking at the meat in the chili peppers. After finishing their meal, they couldn't help but laugh.
"Ouch, this is self-torture. I'm never eating this again. It's killing me," Xu Hemei sighed.
He Qiaoyun picked up her phone and looked at her lips, which were red from the spiciness, and couldn't help but tease herself, "Sausage lips."
She then posted photos of the food she had just eaten to her WeChat Moments, with the caption: "This Sichuan restaurant gave my daughter and me sausage lips from all the spiciness."
The post on WeChat Moments immediately received many likes and comments.
Among them was a like and comment from Liu Biao, whom I hadn't contacted for several years: "Which restaurant is it? My mouth is so bland, can you give me the address? I want to try it too."
He Qiaoyun didn't reply. Instead, she opened his WeChat, sent him the address of the Sichuan restaurant, and replied with: "When do you have time? I'll treat you to a meal, and we can catch up."
Liu Biao replied almost instantly: 【Now.】
He Qiaoyun couldn't help but laugh and replied with a voice message: "If I eat one more meal, I'll be in the hospital tonight. Can we do it another day?"
Liu Biaoli also replied with a voice message: "Pah, pah, pah, I misspoke. Tomorrow, we'll eat tomorrow."
He Qiaoyun: [Okay, how about tomorrow at noon?]
Liu Biao: [See you there!]
Seeing He Qiaoyun's smiling expression, Xu Hemei asked gossipily, "Who are you chatting with?"
He Qiaoyun put down her phone. "Your Uncle Liu said he also wanted to eat at this restaurant. It's been several years since I've seen him. He even helped you catch someone today, so I was thinking of treating him to a meal."
Xu Hemei: "Oh."
After a while, the two paid the bill and got up to leave.
As they walked out of the restaurant, Xu Hemei suddenly asked, "Mom, I remember Uncle Liu doesn't seem to have a wife."
