As expected, Walter took her to the Sichuan restaurant without even considering. Or maybe, he liked
the taste of Sichuan cuisine.
As soon as they stepped into the shop, the waiter greeted them enthusiastically, "Welcome! Please
come in! "
He asked for a corner by the window. Although it was relatively quiet, the heat of the hot pot made the
hall noisy.
"Walter, I didn't expect you to come here. I thought that the people who grow up abroad would like to
go to that kind of elegant and quiet coffee shop. "
"To be honest, I don't like going to that kind of place. Do you forget the first time we met? I like the
smell of freedom. On the contrary, the coffee house just makes people feel suffocated. " Walter leaned
back in his chair, his lips curved up a little. In the mist, his cold outline was softened a little.
It was the first time for Michelle to look him in the eye. Her brown eyes seemed to be able to read
people's mind. She lowered her head somewhat uneasily.
In no time, the waiter brought up the hotpot. Walter asked for a two flavor hot pot.
One was light soup, and the other was spicy.
Michelle glanced at it and asked curiously, "you don't eat spicy food?"
Walter couldn't help laughing, "Yes, but not really. But I know you like it. "
"What?" The person who was about to put food in the pot paused. She looked up at the person sitting
opposite and asked, "how do you know?"
Her big round eyes looked very innocent and naive.
He couldn't help laughing again. But his laughter made Michelle even more confused.
"When eating beef noodles, you keep putting red peppers into your bowl." For quite a while, he
managed to hold back his laughter.
She had to admit that Walter was a man of great observation. However, as he said this word "without
stopping", Michelle found it a little exaggerated. She had only added two peppers into her bowl.
Because it was the first time that she had added a little less in it, she didn't feel it tasted good.
"It's hot outside. Spicy hotpot is the most delicious!"
She picked up a piece of dish, dipped it into the sauce and wrapped it around. Then she put it into her
mouth and chewed it with keen pleasure.
Seeing two plates of beef tripe and one plate of shrimps almost empty, Walter asked confusedly, "didn't
you finish your lunch?"
Michelle swallowed the food in her mouth and forced a smile. "I am so excited to see hot pot! I mean
it!"
"Really? You seem to like spicy food very much."
"Yes, you are right!"
Both of them enjoyed the meal. Just one meal was too much for them to walk.
Seeing how she was, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It seems that you must live with medicine
that helps digest food."
"What?" Michelle was a little slow to react and immediately failed to understand what he meant.
"It's getting late. Let me take you home."
When they went out of the shop, it was getting dark.
"No, I can take a bus." It was a sudden whim that she was still not able to digest the food in her
stomach. She didn't feel well when she was full.
Though she refused for several times, finally she got on Walter's car.
After they got into the car, Michelle couldn't help looking up at the car. To her surprise, Walter was of
high status, but his car was an off-road vehicle. His clothes were several times as expensive as this
car?
Walter sent Michelle to the gate of her home community. When she got off the car, just two steps away,
she heard the most fearful voice of her life. "Michelle, have you changed a new car?"
"Aunt Lucy." She greeted out of politeness.
It never occurred to her that Aunt Lucy upstairs would see this again. She don't know how Aunt Lucy
will tell her to the middle-aged women in the neighbourhood. Anyway, it's not something good.
At this time, Michelle did not want to respond at all. She just greeted and turned around to leave. But
Aunt Lucy caught up again, with a bag of food bags in her hand, which filled with her least favorite
smell, smelly dried fish.
But they were suitable for Aunt Lucy, they had one thing in common.
"Michelle, is he the man who sent you back last time? I can see that, though I haven't seen him yet, I
still advise you to break up with him. The driver in this car is obviously not as good as the one last
time."
At this moment, she said to herself, 'I have never thought that your eyes are so sharp.'
Aunt Lucy had a daughter, who was married three years old now. Only during the Spring Festival every
year, Michelle saw her daughter and her son-in-law drove a luxury car to take a walk in the
neighborhood.
Given a rich law-in-son, Aunt Lucy's clothes looked good. But before her daughter got married, she, as
the mother, was a snob. Usually, she would go out to talk with the aunt of the block if she had nothing
to do. She said that girl had changed her boyfriend and that boy lost his job or something.
In short, all the gossip in this community are cooked up by her.
Everyone saw her living alone and didn't say anything, but pretended to be patient to listen.
Having lived in the neighborhood for such a long time, Michelle felt that she had become immune to
Aunt Lucy.
"Auntie, I'm home now. Can we talk about it another day?"
She really didn't want to defend herself, because she knew that no matter how much she had said, the
other would not take it seriously. Aunt Lucy would still tell the snobs what she saw, never listening to
her explanation.
If it was not because she was so pitiful, else Michelle would not endure it so much.
Before Aunt Lucy could answer, Michelle opened the door, walked in, and then slammed it shut up
rudely.
Aunt Lucy stood outside the door and mumbled to herself for a while before she was willing to leave.
After that, she turned around and saw a pair of women's high-heeled shoes! Needless to say, she knew
who owned that pair of shoes, but she didn't expect that the person would actually come.
"Mom!"
She got up hurriedly and walked into the living room in her slippers.
The TV was on, but no one was sitting on the sofa. Confused, she turned around and went to the
kitchen.
"Zoy? What are you doing here? " When she saw the people inside, she got angry at once.
When Zoy didn't speak, Olivia stepped out first and said with a smile, "Michelle, she came to see me on
purpose. You see, she bought many nourishment products. "
After finishing her words, she held Michelle's hand and took her to the table. When she raised her
head, she was surprised to see that there were many nutritionists.
"Mom, we don't need these things. When I make money, I can buy it for you." She clearly remembered
that on the day of her mother's accident, Zoy chose to stand by.
She was extremely upset.
This woman was so heartless. Not only did she steal her boyfriend, but also refused to help her mother.
'How heartless she is!'
"Give it back to you. Don't come here again." With the nourishment she bought in her hand, Michelle
threw them on the floor in front of Zoy.
Although Zoy was busy cooking in the kitchen, it was obvious that she didn't want to leave. She kept
her head down and continued to pack her things.
"Michelle, please don't. Zoy did that out of kindness. You've gone too far. " Olivia pulled her daughter
aside and persuaded her in a low voice.
"Mom, was your fall related to her?"
When her mother was in hospital, the doctor said that it wouldn't be so serious if she hadn't fallen
down. It hurt so much because she accidentally touched her waist and caused her bones to get
dislocated and hurt her nerves.
Although she was not at home at that time, she knew that her mother would never fall down alone.
What's more, Zoy's determination at that time was like pass-by.
If other people found out about this, wouldn't they call the ambulance at the first time? But Zoy didn't.
In any case, it was all Zoy's fault!
"Stop doing that. Leave my house." Michelle said with no expression, but a trace of ruthlessness.
Zoy ignored her and went on with her work. After that, Olivia left the kitchen with her daughter and went
to the living room with her.
"Mom, why did you open the door for her? Don't you know what she has done? "
"Michelle, you are not a little girl anymore. You don't have to be so willful? Last time when mom fell
down, it was due to mom's carelessness. Zoy was also frightened. " Olivia was trying to comfort her. As
a mother, she was on her daughter's side.
During the years when Michelle was studying abroad, it was hee who accompanied her to visit her.
Even the tuition fee was sponsored by Zoy without any reward.
But the cost was too much for Michelle.
"Mom, don't say anything. The price is too high. I can't afford it." Michelle knew that her mother had
already treated Zoy as her own daughter. At this point, she didn't want to say anything more.
After leaving the words, she stood up and went to her own room. Behind her, Olivia shouted, "Michelle,
are you hungry?"
Michelle did not speak, acting like a child.
It was not until experiencing betrayal that she realized how shameless someone was. She really don't
know how they have the courage to live on.
Lying on the bed and listening to the sound outside, Michelle turned over in a lazy manner. Olivia knew
that his daughter didn't like Zoy, so she didn't come to bother her during this period.
After a long time, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.
The light in the room was on, but the woman in bed had already fallen asleep. With her eyes full of pity,
Olivia smiled bitterly and walked over carefully.
"I know, I know." While speaking, Olivia pulled the quilt over and covered it for her.
She reached out to stroke her daughter's hair and sighed.
