C85 You Are Not Fighting Alone
Taking Lee Nanfang into the western restaurant, Bai Linger looked back and nodded secretly when she saw that the guys passing by were all standard gentlemen: "Not bad, this scum's clothes aren't that good, but at least he's a bit neat and tidy, so it's not a disgrace to me."
These days, Western cuisine was everywhere on the streets of Qingshan City.
However, when it came to the highest quality and most expensive restaurant, it could only belong to the Cinderella Western Restaurant on Yanshan Road. It was just as Yue Zitong had said, they would need hundreds and thousands of flowers just to eat something.
A bottle of wine would be worth several thousand yuan if he pursued a bit of style, taste, and the like.
Bai Linger muttered to herself in her heart. She hoped that Scumbag Lee would be lenient towards her, and not order that extremely expensive red wine. She needed to know that the three thousand yuan she just took out was her final asset.
"Room 307. I made a reservation by phone at noon."
Bai Linger walked up to the bar counter and greeted the little sister who was welcoming her with a smile.
"Please wait a moment."
The little sister checked her laptop and waved her hand in greeting. A handsome young man in a black suit walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Dong Zi, please go to Room 307."
Dong Zi immediately bent over and extended his hand, making a gesture of 'please', "Please follow me."
"Let's go."
Bai Linger glanced at Lee Nanfang and followed him first.
"You go up first, I'll take a call."
Lee Nanfang waved his phone and said. Then, he turned around and walked quickly to the corner.
Bai Linger didn't mind. She followed the waiter up the red-carpeted stairs and stopped at the corridor on the second floor. She said to Dong Zi, "Let's wait for him to come up with us."
Bai Linger suddenly decided to wait for Lee Nanfang here. It wasn't because she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find Room 307, but because she wanted him to tell her that he had urgent matters to attend to and that he would have to eat at a later date.
Lee Nanfang didn't know what Bai Linger, who was short of money, was thinking at this moment. After she went through the stairs, she quickly walked in front of the bar: "Sister, just now our boss called me and told me that he is also eating at this restaurant. Could I trouble you to take a look? "Oh, his name is Feng Yuntine."
Lee Nanfang's request was very normal. The front desk girl quickly found Feng Yuntine's room number: "Sir, Mr. Feng's room is 308, it's opposite your room."
"What a coincidence!"
Lee Nanfang laughed, "Hah, looks like I can get the boss to help me pay for it tonight. I have to cut him a few times. Sis, our boss is the Young Master of the Cloud World Real Estate. He's extremely rich. "In a while, I will pick up some expensive dishes and count them as my contribution to your restaurant."
Ever since Cinderella's restaurant was opened, there were people who rushed to contribute every day. Although after they finished eating, they would also feel that it was not as good as the longan steamed bun and the bean curd soup, but when they talked to others, they would definitely pretend that they had been to a Qiulin feast to prove that they were once nobles.
What was Scumbag Lee doing, he hasn't come up yet?
Bai Linger stood at the top of the stairs and looked down. A few people walked out of a nearby box as they talked and laughed. She instinctively turned her head to look.
"Eh, Bai Linger?"
A girl wearing a red dress let out a soft "Ehh" and a very warm smile appeared on her face. She looked at her impeccable boyfriend and quickly walked over.
"Xiangjun, it's you."
When Bai Linger saw the girl, she was momentarily stunned. Her gaze swept across her boyfriend's face. The corner of her eyes quickly jumped as she forced a smile and greeted him.
Every girl had their first love affair. In college, there would also be boys who liked her. It was the same with the hot-tempered Bai Linger. She had been pursued by an outstanding boy in the police academy.
The outstanding male student was the man beside Xiangjun. The two of them planned to enter the marriage stage this year.
In college, a certain school flower was pursued by a certain handsome man. When a beautiful woman wanted to refuse, she would always ask her best friend to accompany her. The result was that when the beautiful woman was about to graduate and was happily waiting for the handsome man's proposal, there was a sudden thunderclap. The handsome man and his best friend had a perfect match.
This was a rather ungrateful action, but it was a cliché that would always appear in the real world.
Unfortunately, Bai Linger was the sorrowful heroine in this bloody plot.
Bai Linger's former best friend, Fann Xiangjun, who had a powerful family in the Dong Province, could easily arrange a job for her male lead who had come from the countryside. It was far beyond what a young girl from a small dry family like Bai Linger could achieve.
He believed that the male lead had made a difficult choice between Bai Linger and Fann Xiangjun. In the end, his ambition overcame his so-called love and he threw himself into the arms of his girlfriend. Then, he got his wish and got the job he wanted.
In the past few years, when Li Jie came back to his dreams at midnight, he would always look at Fann Xiangjun lying beside him, think of Bai Linger's beautiful face, recall her every frown and smile, and sigh with emotion, saying that nothing is perfect, why can't Fann Xiangjun be as beautiful as Bai Linger, making him feel extremely moved every time he sees her.
After graduating from the police academy, everyone worked at Qingshan. However, Li Jie worked at Provincial Hall, while Bai Linger, after years of hard work, only managed to become a vice captain now.
Not only did they work in the same city, but they also worked in the same system. It was easy for Li Jie to see Bai Linger — he didn't dare, and he knew very well that Bai Linger hated him to death, which was why they hadn't seen each other in all the years after graduation.
Maybe it was because the heavens pitied his love for Bai Linger that he had arranged for him to meet this dreamy girl at Cinderella's Western Restaurant.
Linger, you've lost weight, you've had a faint sadness between your eyebrows, and I've heard that all these years you've been working so hard and bad-tempered, it's all my fault, forgive me — Li Jie's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he looked at Lili, who was standing in the doorway of the stairs.
Fann Xiangjun, who was walking quickly towards Bai Linger, seemed to have realized something and turned around.
After their gazes met, Li Jie saw the cold smile on the corner of her mouth and quickly lowered his head.
"Hey, Linger, you look even prettier than you did in school."
Fann Xiangjun walked to Bai Linger's side, grabbed her right hand, and looked at her from head to toe. It should be tiring to work at the grassroots level, right? "
"It's not bad. The grassroots work is plentiful."
Bai Linger used her hand to brush her hair, struggling to get rid of Fann Xiangjun's hand. "Are you leaving now?"
"Yeah, I just finished eating."
Fann Xiangjun turned her head with a smile and said to the middle-aged couple standing next to Li Jie, "Dad, Mom, this is the best friend I've mentioned to you before I went to school. He's also a good friend of Li Jie. "
No matter what opinion she had of Fann Xiangjun and how much she despised Li Jie, Bai Linger would not act impolitely when she introduced her elders. She immediately took a few steps forward, bent down slightly and greeted her aunt and uncle.
The dignified middle-aged man merely glanced at her and replied in an indifferent tone, "En."
The middle-aged woman, dressed in jewellery, finally gave him some face. She smiled and nodded, "Oh, you're Xiangjun's good friend from when she was in university. When you're free, go home and play. Xiangjun, let's go. Your father has been working for the whole day. He still needs to go home early."

"Mom, what's the rush? It wasn't easy to meet Linger, so we should at least say a few words, right?"
Fann Xiangjun acted like she was being coquettishly reprimanded. She held Bai Linger's hand once again, asking her with concern if she had a hard time working at the grassroots level and if she now had a boyfriend.
When Bai Linger met someone she knew, Lee Nanfang also met someone who took the initiative to talk to him.
The little girl in front of the counter showed that her boss was Feng Yuntine. After she subconsciously prepared to pay for the bill, she politely smiled and was about to walk to the stairs when the sound of footsteps came from behind her. When she turned around, she saw a middle-aged man and woman, accompanying a young man and woman, walking over.
A young woman in her thirties held onto the left arm of the man. From time to time, she would glare at the man beside her, seemingly complaining to her father. If it wasn't for her biological father, she wouldn't be so intimate with him.
Looking at her son-in-law who pretended to be afraid, Liang Yunqing could only bitterly smile and complain that she had spoiled her daughter. Not only did she insist on tying him up to eat western cuisine that only young people loved, she even always reported him as a son-in-law.
Just when Old Liang was about to warn his daughter and make any more small talk, he suddenly saw Lee Nanfang. His eyebrows slightly raised as he asked, "Lee Nanfang?"
"It's me, you know me?"
Lee Nanfang did not expect Old Liang to know him. He was slightly surprised, then asked with a smile: "You are also a leader of Kaihuang Group right?"
Other than the people from Kaihuang Group, Lee Nanfang had never interacted with anyone else after coming to Qingshan City.
After seeing her father greet someone, the young married woman immediately let go of his arm and stood beside her husband. She had a polite smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was very cultured.
"Hehe, I'm not from Kaihuang Group. My surname is Liang, my name is Liang Yunqing."
Old Liang walked in front of Lee Nanfang and said in a low voice, "I was arranged by Elder Yue to come to Qingshan to help protect Zitong. When Zitong sees me, she has to call me uncle obediently. And you, kid, what are you calling me for? "
Oh, I said that Lao Yue couldn't possibly have watched his granddaughter being tortured by a killer while remaining indifferent. Someone should have appeared right away, but this old brat doesn't seem to be an expert … Lee Nanfang suddenly understood and blinked his eyes as he asked, "Then, should I call you granduncle?"
From his aunt's point of view, Lee Nanfang had to call Aunt Yue Zitong and Aunt Jack, so of course he had to call Uncle Pappy.
"Kid, are you trying to make me old?"
Old Liang made a face of displeasure, and Lee Nanfang immediately said obediently: "Uncle Liang, why don't we sit together tonight? "My aunt is up there. Do you want me …"
"No need, we'll talk about it when we have time. Tonight, I have to accompany my daughter."
Old Liang didn't introduce Lee Nanfang to his daughter and son-in-law and carelessly raised his hand. "Go and busy yourself first."
Damn, I should have said that earlier, then I wouldn't have called him uncle.
Lee Nanfang muttered in his heart, nodded and smiled to the young man and woman, then quickly walked up the stairs.
Old Liang, who had been transferred to the Qingshan City due to a special mission, had long wanted to find an opportunity to meet Lee Nanfang and leak the news that he was not fighting alone.
However, due to some reasons, Old Liang had not found a chance to meet him. Coincidentally meeting him here today could also be considered as having fulfilled his wish. When he looked at the restaurant again, it had also become a lot more pleasing to the eye.
