Chapter 683 - The Many Changes of Wu Hai (2/2)

Not only was he showing off on his social media, he even left a caption on each of the pictures: Why are Boss Yuan’s dishes even better when they are free?

When eating from one’s own pockets, one had to be stingy but when eating out of someone else’s pockets, one had to be ruthless. Wu Hai was currently perfectly doing the latter half of this saying.

At about seven, Chen Wei arrived and saw Wu Hai who had devoured several dishes all by himself.

“Holy sh*t. Wu Hai, are you a pig? You’re still eating?” Chen Wei looked at Wu Hai while panting. He was forced to babysit his ex-girlfriend’s daughter today. That was why he had arrived late at the restaurant.

He was unsure of what her current situation was, but since he was an ex-boyfriend, he agreed to help for old times sake. Then, he was presented with a five years old little devil who almost drove Chen Wei mad. Further amplifying his pain was Wu Hai’s endless food pictures on his social media.

Chen Wei was extremely furious, feeling like the biggest mistake he had ever done in his life was to add Wu Hai on his Wechat.

“Jealous. You are being jealous.” Wu Hai curled his lips.

While the two was conversing, Jiang Changxi arrived as well. When she saw Wu Hai and Chen Wei, she sat in the middle and placed down her bag.

“Only you two today?” Jiang Changxi asked.

Chen Wei replied, “I think so. Wei Wei went to her grandmother’s place today. Sister Wan also mentioned in the group chat that she’s going back to her hometown for the Chinese New Year. As for Chu Xiao and Wang Nan, I have no idea.”

“She’s not worried that they will be asking her about marriage again?” Wu Hai remarked while eating.

Jiang Changxi said, “Quarrels with parents will never last long anyway. Since she hadn’t returned on the New Year’s Eve, she had to go back during the first day of the Chinese New Year.”

“As for Wang Nan, a friend of mine is going over to Guixi as well and gave Wang Nan a lift there.” Jiang Changxi did not say anything about Chu Xiao as they weren’t that close with each other.

Chen Wei looked at the empty seats in the restaurant and said, “Finally, Wang Nan got to fulfill his wish of returning to his hometown for Chinese New Year. But the restaurant is really quite empty now. It feels like there’s less life here. Do you guys have the same feeling?”

“Boss Yuan, an Egg Fried Rice Set please,” Jiang Changxi ordered while shaking her head. She did not feel the same.

With Jiang Changxi not sharing his feeling, Chen Wei looked over at Wu Hai and gave up. Apart from eating, Wu Hai knew nothing else. A melancholic feeling suddenly started welling within Chen Wei. He was missing Sister Wan. After all, she would agree to anything he said. This was the beauty of Sister Wan’s wisdom.

“Besides,” Jiang Changxi suddenly said.

“Besides what?”

“Besides that, Sister Wan is probably coming back tomorrow.”

Chen Wei asked curiously, “Boss Jiang, I thought you said that quarrels with parents won’t last long?”

Jiang Changxi said, “That’s right. The quarrel won’t last long. But that does not mean that there won’t be any anger. Sister Wan will probably leave in anger again. After leaving her family during Chinese New Year, apart from this restaurant, where else can she go?”

Jiang Changxi made a lot of sense. Chen Wei did not know what to say to that.

While talking, the food they ordered had arrived. Before the two could start eating, four girls entered the restaurant. They were around 24 years old, young and beautiful, and were coming in holding hands, appearing to be quite close to each other.

Chen Wei raised his head and looked at them. These four were most likely new customers. Looking at how they kept looking around, this was probably their first time here.

It was normal for girls to eat together with their best friends. But it was quite odd for them to come out together during the first day of the Chinese New Year.

“This is the legendary Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. We’re finally here.”

“Meng Meng, lower your voice. Don’t disturb anyone here.”

“See, I’m the smart one to only come during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, there won’t be any empty seats available.

With this, life started seeping back into the restaurant. Chen Wei lowered his head and continued eating. He was eating faster now. After all, he enjoyed eating in a lively environment.
