Not long after, Lin Tao came downstairs.

"Mother!"

Xia Xia immediately stretched out her little hand when she saw her mother.

Lin Tao smiled and picked up her son, "Where is grandpa?"

The little guy shook his head, not quite understanding what grandpa meant.

"Little aunt, you are so beautiful today." Jiang Yaoyao suddenly said.

Lin Tao blushed and pursed her lips subconsciously.

"Little aunt, are you going out?" Jiang Yaoyao asked again.

Sure enough, Lin Tao nodded, "I made an appointment with a friend tonight."

"Oh..." Jiang Yaoyao smiled and took out his mobile phone.

[I have information! My aunt is going to meet a friend tonight! She also put on very beautiful makeup! I guess she is going to meet a man!]

Soon, someone came in from outside, followed by an old man, holding a kettle in his hand.

As soon as Lin Tao raised her head, she met the man's eyes.

Somehow, her mind suddenly thought of the embarrassing scene in the bedroom upstairs.

My heart skipped a beat, and my face couldn't help but feel a little hot, so I could only look away.

Jiang Yaoyao spoke at this time, "Grandpa, uncle, and aunt said they have made an appointment with friends and may not have dinner at home."

"It's okay, since your friend invites you, go ahead." Mr. Cheng put down the kettle, "Don't worry, I will take care of Xia Xia, there will be no problem."

"Thank you, old man."

"We are all family, why are you being polite to me?" Mr. Cheng finished speaking, stretched out his hand and said, "Let Runzhi take you there."

"No need." Lin Tao hurriedly refused, "He just came back from get off work, so let him rest. I can just take a taxi myself."

"Why don't you rest? The young man is only thirty years old and is in very good health. Let him give it to you!"

"Let me see you off. It just so happened that my friend and I had a date for a drink in the evening." Cheng Runzhi took advantage of the situation and answered, "Wait for me when I get off. I'll go upstairs and get a coat."

Lin Tao had no choice but to agree, "Okay."

10 minutes later, the two got in the car.

Wait until Lin Tao finishes telling the restaurant address...

"Is this Western restaurant quite expensive?" Cheng Runzhi asked.

Lin Tao said, "It's my first time here too."

Cheng Runzhi kept his composure, turned the steering wheel with one hand, and drove the white Land Rover out of the Cheng family villa.

The two of them didn't talk much along the way.

When they arrived at the western restaurant, Lin Tao unbuckled her seat belt and said, "Thank you for sending me here."

Cheng Runzhi pursed his thin lips and said, "It's windy outside."

"Oh." Lin Tao blinked, "It's a little windy tonight."

She tied up her scarf and opened the car door, "Then drive slowly and pay attention to safety."

"Okay." Cheng Runzhi nodded.

…

After Lin Tao got off the bus, she walked directly into the Western restaurant.

After announcing Pan Hui's name, the waiter took her to the table by the window.

She sat there, suddenly a little nervous.

After returning to China, she and Pan Hui have not officially met...

In other words, the two have not seen each other for almost two years. She only knows that he got married right after he returned from studying abroad. His partner was Bai Fumei from the Imperial Capital. He often posted photos in his circle of friends...

I just don’t understand why Pan Hui suddenly asked her to meet?

In this uneasy mood, I finally waited until the waiter led Pan Hui over.

The man was wearing business-style clothes and silver-rimmed glasses. His facial features had not changed much, but were slightly more stable than two years ago.

Lin Tao looked at him with a smile, "Pan Hui, long time no see."

Pan Hui sat down opposite her, "Jianxing said, do you have anything to say to me?"

Lin Tao was stunned, "Jianxing?"

Pan Hui nodded, then raised his left hand and looked at his watch, "I am taking my wife to my father-in-law and mother-in-law's house for dinner tonight. I have half an hour, so tell me."

Lin Tao held the water glass and said, "Since you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I have nothing to say."

???

Pan Hui frowned, "Okay, since you don't say it, let me do it."

He looked at Lin Tao, "I'm already married. Regarding the past, I hope you can let it go and stop thinking about it. I know it's not easy for you to live alone with a child now, so..."

As he said that, he took out a paper bag from his briefcase and said, "There are two hundred thousand here. You can take it and use it. There is no need to return it."

"Did you misunderstand?" Lin Tao didn't even look at it, "You were the one who called me to invite me here today. I thought you..."

"Do you think I want to get back together with you?" Pan Hui interrupted, "As early as the day you opened a room with another man, it was completely over between us! What are you thinking? That man doesn't want you, and now you think about it again

Me? What do you think I am? A spare tire?"

Lin Tao closed her eyes, "I don't know what Jianxing told you. There may be a misunderstanding between us..."

"Is there any misunderstanding?" Pan Hui said impatiently, "You were the one who refused to go abroad with me, right? You were the one who turned around and slept with other men, right? When your father was in trouble, I was the first to help, but you

Then, she went off to have a bastard with another man, and then went abroad to live happily..."

Before he finished speaking, a glass of water was suddenly poured directly in front of him.

"Cio!"

Pan Hui closed his eyes and uttered a curse word.

Someone at the next table immediately looked sideways, and the waiter also looked over worriedly.

Pan Hui wiped the water off his face with all his strength, gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I was right and you became angry?"

Lin Tao held the cup and put it back on the table with a "snap", her fingers still trembling slightly, "I refused to go abroad with you at first because I wanted to work to make money and pay off my father's debt. Later I..."

"Then you went to bed with a man and had a bastard, just to pay off your debt, right?" Pan Hui sneered, "I already knew you would say that."

Lin Tao looked at him, slowly loosened her fingers, and suddenly smiled, "I shouldn't have come over today."

After saying that, she stood up, took her bag and left.

"Stop." Pan Hui picked up the bag of money on the table, "Take this."

"I don't want your money!"

Pan Hui grabbed her bag and reached out to put the bag of money into it, "We are having an easy time anyway. Just take the money and don't come to me again. Just treat it as if I gave it to you."

Your breakup fee..."

"Husband!" Suddenly a woman's voice sounded.

Pan Hui's face changed suddenly, and he took his hand back almost instantly. He turned around with an extremely stiff smile on his face, "Honey, why are you here?"

The woman walked up quickly on high heels.

She has exquisite facial features and even more luxurious clothes. She is carrying a brand-name bag and various accessories... The word Bai Fumei is written all over her body, "Who is this woman? Why do you want to give her money?"

"She...she is my friend and came to borrow money from me." Pan Hui made an excuse while keeping hints in his eyes.

Lin Tao looked at him with no expression on her face.

"Really?" The woman looked at Lin Tao, her eyes full of consideration.

Her skin is quite fair, and she is somewhat pretty, but her clothes are too ordinary, and she doesn't have any rich accessories on her, so she looks poor at first glance.

"Did you really ask my husband to borrow money?"

"no."

As soon as Lin Tao said these words, Pan Hui panicked, "Lin Tao, you..."

"I am his ex-girlfriend." Lin Tao spoke faster, "He said he would give me 200,000 as breakup fee."

In an instant, the western restaurant turned into a gossip information station:

"So this man abandoned his ex-girlfriend and fell in love with this rich and beautiful woman?"

"It's quite generous."

"Two hundred thousand dollars can buy you a lifetime of glory and wealth, once and for all!"

"Isn't this Chen Shimei?"
