Chapter 384: Chapter 385: Crying While Eating Noodles
Xia Weiwei had a smug look on her face: “If you want to know, then go ask Gu Mingzhu, your ‘good’ sister. Let her tell you herself, won’t everything then be clear?”
After speaking, Xia Weiwei walked straight to Xia Yangyang: “Yangyang, you must be clear. Don’t disappoint me. Your mother died wrongfully back then, I’m afraid she’s still restless even in her death. When you and Gu Qichen are happily in love, never ever forget this.”
Looking at the icy expression on Xia Yangyang’s face, Xia Weiwei felt exceedingly thrilled.
She left the lounge swaying her hips happily.
Xia Yangyang turned pale.
She was indeed frightened.
Afraid that everything was true.
However, no matter what the truth was, she must get to the bottom of it.
In the evening, Shen Manbing invited her for dinner.
Xia Yangyang politely declined.
The places Shen Manbing frequented were all high-end private restaurants.
The cost of a meal basically started from a five-figure sum.
And every time they ate, it was Shen Manbing who paid.
After a few meals, Xia Yangyang didn’t want to continue.
Besides, she had no appetite today.
After work, Xia Yangyang went to Meow Lane.
Meow Lane is a small alley nearby.
An old street in the city center that surprisingly hadn’t been demolished yet.
It has a few authentic local dine-ins hidden inside.
Xia Yangyang discovered it by chance.
There was a “Gao’s Noodle House” with particularly delicious beef noodles.
After coming to Sea City, Xia Yangyang went there almost every day.
After frequent visits, she even became familiar with the shop owner.
When Xia Yangyang arrived, the boss greeted her with a smile: “Hey girl, you’re back. Beef noodles for today?”
Xia Yangyang nodded: “Add more chili, the spicier the better.”
“Chili is not good for your stomach, better to have less.”
Everyone at the noodle house called the boss Old Gao.
He wore gray cotton and linen Chinese tunic suits all year round, always clutching a string of Buddhist beads in his hands.
There was a noticeable knife scar near the corner of his eye.
But many years had passed and the scar had faded. When he smiled, it became a fine wrinkle, making him look even more kind and benevolent, and it even radiated a touch of elegance.
It was just that his face was fair and strong, and it was easy to tell that he must have been very handsome in his younger years.
Xia Yangyang always thought Old Gao looked familiar.
Later, she thought that he looked like Tony Leung in Infernal Affairs.
Sometimes, Xia Yangyang would joke that he could totally be in a movie.
Every time, Old Gao would laugh and say: “If I acted in movies, I’m sure I would’ve already won several awards for best actor by now.”
Xia Yangyang would laugh back at his immodesty.
A big bowl of steaming beef noodles was brought up.
The fragrance was tempting.
As before, Old Gao served Xia Yangyang a stack of homemade pickles.
Since no one was in the shop today, Old Gao sat down opposite Xia Yangyang.
Sometimes it happened that way, and the two would sit down and chat.
Old Gao knew she was an actress from a drama crew, and he often gossiped about the celebrities.
Even though he was over fifty, Xia Yangyang had no generation gap when chatting with him.
However, today, Xia Yangyang just ate her noodles without speaking a word.
The reason Xia Yangyang loved the beef noodles from Old Gao’s shop
Was because her mother’s best dish used to be braised beef noodles.
Its taste was just like the one she remembered from her childhood.
As Xia Yangyang was eating, she nearly broke into tears.
Old Gao handed her a tissue: “Girl, you’re the only one who cries while eating my beef noodles..”
