The Breakfast Shop Owner and the Man He Picked Up (Part 3)
Song Ning took great pains to explain clearly to the man in front of him - they were not living together and were not lovers.
He would not choose to eat this person first.
Although the man who called himself Lance said that he knew, his blue eyes clearly said, 'Is it because I have lost my memory that my dear refuses to acknowledge me? Then I will have no choice but to cooperate with my dear temporarily and let him calm down.'
Song Ning wanted to explain but didn't know where to start, so he simply picked up the bowl and started eating, choosing to escape.
This meal was delicious.
The main reason was that Song Ningzi had been outside all day without eating, and the seemingly elegant but actually ferocious show of food by the man she picked up made Song Ning eat a little more without realizing it.
There is no chef who doesn’t like such a eater, and Song Ning is no exception.
The meal lasted until almost nine o'clock, and Song Ning felt a little full, which was rare.
Seeing Lance put down his dishes, he subconsciously struggled to get up and clean up the dishes, but the man held him down.
Lance said matter-of-factly, "Since you cooked, I must be the one to wash the dishes. Let me do it."
Song Ning: "Ah? Let me do it. You are a guest after all. How can I let you do these things?"
Lance looked at him disapprovingly, "Even if you're a guest you should share some of the work. You'll be tired too."
He loosened his hands smoothly as if he was used to doing such things. He turned around and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. His back looked particularly tall under the dim light, which made Song Ning stare in a trance.
It's been a long time since anyone has washed dishes in the kitchen at home.
Song Ning couldn't even remember the last time Ergouzi helped him with housework.
He only knew that after he cooked three meals a day and let Ergouzi eat, Ergouzi would run straight to school and would not even take a nap at home. Sometimes when he was busy and cooked a meal at home, Ergouzi would just leave the dishes there after he finished eating, and he would clean up the leftovers when he came back.
So Ergouzi had changed so long ago.
Song Ning thought.
Lance was in the kitchen, using the sound of running water to clean off some old dirt in the kitchen.
He recalled the plot and confirmed that tomorrow, the Song couple who took the Son of the World away would decide to strike first because of their belated worry - they thought Song Ning just didn't react for the moment, and after he reacted, he would definitely cling to them, a wealthy couple, like a vampire locust, so they decided to strike first.
The Song couple used money to bribe their friends, and tomorrow morning people from the Health Administration and Market Supervision Bureau will come to inspect. Then, they will close down this small breakfast shop on the grounds that Song Ning's food business does not meet the hygiene standards. If Song Ning wants to open it again, he must pay a fine of 20,000 yuan.
It's not that Song Ning couldn't come up with the 20,000 yuan, but at this time, the Son of the World called back from S City and cried, saying that he was not the only child of the Song family, and that he was ostracized in the Song family and lived a hard life, with neither enough food nor warm clothes. The Song family was even unwilling to pay for his college education.
When Song Ning heard this, he was so anxious that he wanted to find him and bring the person back, but the Son of the World said that he was a child of the Song family and he wanted to take back what belonged to him. Then he took away all of Song Ning's savings of 50,000 yuan in the name of borrowing money.
Without his savings, Song Ning was unable to move forward. He thought that the Son of the World would help the Song family after he had established a firm foothold, so he had been struggling to survive.
What he waited for was a group of thugs who surrounded him in an alley on a rainy night. He cleverly pretended to faint and was taken away, only to find out that the Song family brought the Son of the World back with the intention of replacing his heart with the second son who had been raised by their side!
The purpose of the Son of the World, who hired some gangsters to knock Song Ning unconscious and take him away, was to force Song Ning to sign a voluntary organ donation and then create an "accident" to make Song Ning die on the way to S City. In this way, he would not have to donate his heart and could continue to stay in the Song family.
After knowing the truth, Song Ning turned completely evil. He dislocated his wrist and escaped in the cover of night.
As for what happened next...
Lance looked at the cheap tiles that were polished to a shine with a hint of violence in his eyes. He would never let history repeat itself this time!
"W-what are you doing?"
Song Ning came out of the small bathroom with wet hair and looked at the kitchen in shock.
Is this still his kitchen?
With the naked eye, the tiles that cost only two or three yuan each were polished to a shine, the walls that were a little gray and yellow before were now as white as new, and even the dead corners seemed to have been cleaned bit by bit without any dirt. The used pots and pans were also washed clean, and there was not a trace of ash on the bottom of the pots.
Song Ning was shocked for a long time, and his lips moved.
"Are you a germaphobe?"
He could find no other explanation except this.
Lance, who had just hidden the 'tools used in the crime', turned around and smiled, with a hint of flattery in his face, like a big dog.
"So I have mysophobia. Thank you, wife, for telling me. No wonder I feel uncomfortable and want to keep the kitchen clean as soon as I enter it. It must be because I was responsible for the hygiene here before."
"No, and I'm not your wife."
Song Ning blushed and explained hurriedly.
Lance was about to retort but suddenly made a mistake and lowered his head like a puppy.
"Oh, I see. It must be because I did something very wrong before. Are you angry with me because I was lazy and didn't want to work?"
He suddenly found a reasonable explanation.
"That's right, the kitchen is so dirty and I didn't clean it, no wonder you are angry!"
He suddenly realized and looked flattering.
"Then if I take good care of the hygiene from today, will you not be angry with me?"
Looking at him with a pair of starry eyes, it was difficult for Song Ning to say no.
He even had a moment of trance - how great it would be if it were really as this person said.
But reality had nothing to do with this after all, and Song Ning quickly came back to his senses.
"You really misunderstood."
Song Ning came over and took the dishcloth from Lance's hand and spoke rationally.
"If I explain it to you now, you won't believe it. Wait until tomorrow morning and I'll take you to the police to confirm your identity. Then you'll know who you are."
He paused, his tone inexplicably difficult.
"Also, our relationship was misunderstood because of your amnesia. Tomorrow you will know that everything I said is true."
After tomorrow, there will be only one person in this house again.
Song Ning pressed the man down to sleep. This was the only thought in his mind before he lay down on the bed that originally belonged to Ergouzi and closed his eyes.
Early the next morning, Song Ning woke up to the noise.
“Why aren’t you open for business today?”
"Move aside and let us in. We have received a report that your hygiene here is not up to standard. We need to go in and inspect it now."
an examination?
Song Ning's heart tightened and he quickly changed his clothes. Then he heard Lance's voice full of grievance and anger.
"How could our hygiene standards not be up to standard? This is slander! Who is the person who reported it? I want to report him for malicious reporting!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you feeling guilty? We can judge for ourselves whether it is slander or not. Don't think you can get away with it by pretending to be clean on the surface. Our standards are very strict..."
Five or six people in uniform met Song Ning in the kitchen and fell into silence.
Song Ning should have been panicking, but when he looked at Lance's aggrieved and angry face, and then at the silent expressions of the group of people reflected by the tiles, he couldn't help but laugh softly.
