Vol. 1 - Ch. 19 - He is my ex-boyfriend

Before entering the Third Sister Restaurant, Shu Ping did not expect to see the scumbag Chen Yibin again so soon.

He was smoking a cigarette, chatting with his friends at the same table in high spirits. A woman wearing a tight sweater and a high ponytail was leaning against him. He looked a bit like Xiao Ma Ge in the movie.

But this is the unrestrained spirit of a playboy. From the moment he turned his head and saw Shu Ping inadvertently, he quickly deflated like a balloon with a hole in it, and looked away in panic.

Shu Ping sneered in her heart. She felt dizzy and nauseous even when she looked at him. At that time, she was concerned about her reputation and really didn't want to be involved in any romantic gossip with him, so she temporarily let him go. And his good brother Jiang Hai will go to court next month. No wonder he was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw her.

Huo Feng took her to an empty table. Seeing that it was clean, he asked Shu Ping to sit down.

"Their dishes are cooked to order. There is a menu on the wall. You decide what to order and I'll go."

Shu Ping looked up at the wall and ordered two dishes to go with the rice, boiled pork slices and fish-flavored pork shreds. The rest was left to Huo Feng to order.

"Then I'll order some sour beans and rapeseed tofu soup. Four dishes will be enough for the two of us."

Shu Ping nodded and said teasingly, "The dishes are enough, but you have to order a few more bowls of rice. Is one pound enough first?"

Huo Feng calmly poured two glasses of boiled water. After that trip to the provincial capital, he became immune to Shu Ping's eloquent and joking personality. In his eyes, Shu Jun was already a very talkative and sociable person. Compared with his sister Shu Ping, he was still "a small witch compared to a big witch."

"No need for one catty, but half a catty is required."

After leaving this sentence calmly, Huo Feng went to the kitchen to find the boss to order food.

This restaurant is a husband-and-wife business. Occasionally, the elderly in the family come to clean up the pots and bowls and have no time to greet the guests. Customers have to go to the boss to order and pay. They are all locals, so there is no need to worry about the problem of running away from the bill. If they run away at noon, they can come to their house and ask for the bill in the evening.

The small restaurant serves food quickly. After waiting for a few minutes, the first dish was served. They were too hungry, so they ate quietly facing each other, but soon, this peaceful and harmonious atmosphere was destroyed artificially.

After the five people at Chen Yibin's table finished eating, they went to the boss to pay. Before they came, they had agreed that Chen Yibin would treat them today, but to go to the kitchen, they had to pass by Shu Ping's table. Chen Yibin was worried and didn't want to go, so he took two hundred and asked his lover Lu Yueqin to pay.

Lu Yueqin wanted to take the money and go, but after being teased by another man, she quickly changed her mind and stuffed the money back into Chen Yibin's hand, saying, "It's just a small matter, go by yourself, I'm not your babysitter."

Normally, Chen Yibin would not take these words to heart at all, just a few jokes between brothers, but today he had something on his mind, fearing that Shu Ping would make trouble and send him to prison. The other party flirted with Lu Yueqin in front of him, which immediately touched his irritable nerves, and his face unconsciously turned ugly.

The other party obviously didn't expect this, and snorted, "What, you can't even make a joke? You are so arrogant now, have you forgotten that when Jiang Hai was arrested and you were frightened to the point of peeing your pants?"

Chen Yibin's nerves snapped immediately. Shu Ping was right behind him. The other party mentioned Jiang Hai again. Isn't this forcing him to jump into the fire pit!

Intoxicated with anger, he grabbed the wine glass in front of him and threw it at the man's head, hitting the man's eyebrow. The wine glass didn't hit him hard enough, so there was no blood or skin broken. But the other party was much more ruthless than Chen Yibin. Being thrown a wine glass in front of him in public was a complete provocation to his dignity. With a "wow", the dishes on the table were swept away, and the fist swept directly onto Chen Yibin's face and they started fighting.

Lu Yueqin screamed in fear, and the other tables gave way for fear of being affected. The boss and his wife also ran out of the kitchen to stop the fight. Only Shu Ping and Huo Feng, because they were separated by two tables and could not hinder them, continued to eat their meals.

Shu Ping even had the leisure to affirm Huo Feng's recommendation and praised the delicious dishes of this restaurant.

"What do you think of the food in our canteen? You'll get tired of eating the same dishes over and over again, right? I'll discuss with my aunt about developing some new dishes to increase everyone's work motivation."

Huo Feng raised his eyebrows, "As for the food, our factory is pretty good."

Judging from the enthusiasm of all the workers rushing to get their rice bowls to eat every day at mealtime, they are definitely not tired of it, but the factory director himself seems to be a bit picky about food.

There was a loud "bang" sound, it was the sound of a stool falling at Chen Yibin's feet. If someone hadn't pulled him back in advance, a bloody head would have been the least of his problems. The stool legs in this restaurant are made of iron.

Huo Feng couldn't sit still anymore. He originally thought it was just a small dispute and he didn't have to intervene. Seeing the incident escalate, the sense of mission engraved in his bones drove him to go over.

Shu Ping also put down her chopsticks and turned around, but she was still sitting and didn't go over. She didn't care about Chen Yibin at all. To put it bluntly, even if he was beaten up today, she would only applaud. But Huo Feng was her employee, and a member of the opposite sex she had a slight crush on, so she naturally didn't want him to be innocently affected.

Soon, Huo Feng's solemn and steady voice sounded. He stood between the two people fighting and looked around and said, "A vicious fight in public that injures others shall be punished with imprisonment of less than three years, criminal detention or control. If it causes serious injury to others, it shall be punished with imprisonment of more than three years but less than ten years. Which one do you want to choose? Do you want me to call the police now?"

The two men stopped panting and finally stopped struggling, but their eyes were still fierce when they looked at each other.

They were just eating at the same table and calling each other brothers, but in the blink of an eye, they had a black eye because of a small matter. It's no wonder that others looked down on street urchins. The unstable factors were too strong. In the past few minutes, both of them had bruises on their faces, mainly scratched by broken porcelain pieces on the ground.

"If there are any conflicts, solve them on the spot. If you continue to fight after leaving this door today, I will send you directly to the police station."

Chen Yibin had already recognized Huo Feng as the one who had dinner with Shu Ping. Just hearing the word "police station" made his legs tremble, so he dared not say no. But the other one couldn't stand it. He wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, frowned and asked viciously, "Who are you? You are so arrogant. How dare you interfere in my business!"

He stretched out his hand to push Huo Feng, but found that Huo Feng didn't move at all, and did not even shake. Only then did he realize that he had kicked the iron plate.

"You don't need to know who I am, but I will know who you are. It's your bad luck that I ran into you. You will solve the problem in front of everyone and compensate the boss for the loss. If you can't do it, I will send you away now."

He exuded a stern temperament, and he walked to that station with a gloomy face, which made people feel more stressed. Except for the one who was just transferred out, no one questioned his meddling. Even the troublemaker who had just protested, after discovering the disparity between him and Huo Feng, stopped making trouble.

"Okay, today's matter is over, but from now on, I, Yang Yifei, will go my separate ways with you."

After saying that, Yang Yifei took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to the boss, "Boss, I'm sorry for today. I'll pay half of the meal, and the rest will be considered compensation."

After giving the money, he turned around and left. The boss took the money and didn't say anything. When you open a business, you will encounter all kinds of things, but Fengxiang Village has good security. Even if there are problems, they are minor. Today's situation is already quite serious. If it weren't for the comrade in front of him who came out to stop it, who knows how it would end.

After Yang Yifei left, the other two people who had eaten at the table before also followed him, leaving only Chen Yibin and his girlfriend Lu Yueqin. However, Lu Yueqin's face looked very bad. She glared and cursed, "Are you sick? You can't even take a joke. Do you find it fun to be violent? Have you forgotten who helped you settle the matter with Jiang Hai last time? If it wasn't for Brother Yifei asking someone to help Jiang Hai and tell him not to give you up. Can you still enjoy the good life here?"

After saying that, Lu Yueqin picked up her bag from the ground, without even looking at Chen Yibin, and left in her high heels.

After listening to Lu Yueqin's words, Huo Feng looked at Chen Yibin thoughtfully. He knew that Jiang Hai was the former acting director of the food factory and was sued by Shu Ping for embezzling company assets. This person had a relationship with Jiang Hai and was at risk of going to jail. Does that mean that he had participated in activities that infringed on the food factory?

Chen Yibin was really afraid of something, and he was anxious to death after being yelled at by Lu Yueqin. He also found that Huo Feng was staring at him, so he quickly picked up the two hundred yuan that Lu Yueqin had thrown on the ground before, plus the change in his pocket, and stuffed it all into the boss's hand.

"These are all I have on me. You can settle the bill first. I'll make up for the shortfall tomorrow. "

After finishing speaking, he slipped away without stopping. Huo Feng wanted to stop him and ask him clearly, but when he turned to look at Shu Ping, he found that her expression was exceptionally calm, with a hint of sarcasm. He knew that there was something he didn't know about, so he let it go for the time being and did not do anything.

He only asked the boss their names on the pretext of resolving the dispute, and found out that one of them was Yang Yifei and the other was Chen Yibin.

"Comrade, thank you so much today. These two people are used to hanging around, and they are not serious people. You can only blame yourself for running into them. "

If Huo Feng hadn't asked, they might not have compensated for the damaged dishes, chopsticks, tables and chairs.

Huo Feng returned to his table and continued eating. Their table was at the innermost part and was not affected. Because he was worried, his brows were still furrowed while eating. Shu Ping had lost her appetite after what happened just now, and she was almost full after eating her small bowl of rice. She just sat there and watched him eat without moving her chopsticks.

Before, Huo Feng would definitely persuade her to eat more. Now his attention was not on Shu Ping, so he could not pay attention to these things.

Before he hesitated about how to start, Shu Ping took the initiative to answer his questions.

"Do you want to ask about Chen Yibin and Jiang Hai?"

Huo Feng looked up at her and nodded in agreement.

"Strictly speaking, Chen Yibin is my 'ex-boyfriend'. A few months ago, when I was still in school, he deliberately created a few opportunities for encounters and lied to me that he was a businessman and fell in love with me at first sight and wanted to be with me. "

This answer was far beyond Huo Feng's comprehension. He felt that he could understand every word Shu Ping said, but he didn't understand what they meant when put together. His head was buzzing, and his body tensed up unconsciously. He even wanted to cover his ears or Shu Ping's mouth to stop her from speaking.

Shu Ping saw his clenched fist on the table, and felt funny in her heart, but she kept talking.

"But I soon found out that he approached me for other purposes, so I agreed to him and started a relationship with him."
