The Breakfast Shop Owner and the Man He Picked Up (Part 8)

"Someone is looking for me?"

Lance turned his head, wearing a white shirt and an apron. The smoke from the kitchen could not hide his unique temperament and charming charm.

Song Ning's heartbeat quickened slightly and he turned his face away.

"Yes, the dean is here."

"Oh, you're here to cause trouble."

With a slight force of his wrist, the kitchen knife in his hand snapped onto the chopping board.

Lance washed and wiped his hands, "Okay, I'll go meet him."

Song Ning looked at the kitchen knife and chased after him.

"How dare you come out to see me?"

The old man's face fell when he saw Lance.

Lance took off his apron casually, and the new jeans he bought last night made his long legs look extremely superior. When he sat down, he was half a head taller than the old man.

He casually unbuttoned two buttons to get some fresh air, revealing a large area of ​​​​firm and explosive chest muscles.

He looked a bit like a weak scholar just now, but now he is completely different.

The old man misunderstood. He took advantage of the fact that not many people were around at this time and pointed at Lance's nose and scolded him.

"You are from Xiao Song's family, right? Didn't he tell you that I would pay my bill if it was appropriate? Who told you to come to my house to collect the debt on the weekend? How dare you ask my daughter-in-law for money when I'm not around? Take the money back, and I will settle the bill. We are all neighbors, and we come to support Xiao Song's business every day. This is all about human relations. Don't you understand? Xiao Song will have to rely on us neighbors to make a living in the future."

Song Ning's expression faded.

Lance sat there with a big sword, his tone rising.

"Really? I'm curious, if everyone is like you and can owe a thousand dollars for breakfast, then where does my Ningning get the money to live?"

When the amount of his debt was exposed, the old man's face turned completely black.

"What's wrong with a little debt? Can't he get away with this little money from his business? He's a businessman and I'm just a poor teacher. Do you want me to take out my savings to fill it for him?"

Song Ning took a deep breath.

"Teacher Wang, I didn't mean that."

"Yes, my Ningning didn't mean that."

Lance continued his words, "But since you don't have that kind of money, Mr. Wang, why do you have to eat so well every day? I saw you eating a bowl of noodles with big bones and eggs every day, and I thought your family was well-off, otherwise how could you afford to eat like this."

The old man's expression suddenly turned from black to purple.

How should he respond to that?

Admit that his family is poor and yet he has no shame in eating so well? Or is it that his family is not that poor so what's wrong with eating better?

He rolled his eyes and looked at Song Ning past Lance.

"Xiao Song, why don't you say anything?"

Song Ning didn't think there was anything to say.

Lance felt that what he said was very true, he was just running a small business, if every neighbor who came to 'patronize' him ate so well every day but ended up owing money and not paying, how would he make a living?

Northwest wind?

He said nothing, and the old man's expression suddenly became interesting.

But within a few seconds the old man became sarcastic again.

"It seems that you have a bad memory, Xiao Song. Why should I eat such good breakfast every time I come here? Am I not afraid of the three highs as an old man? Those are the extras you, Xiao Song, always told me to take care of Er Gouzi at school. I didn't buy those, but Xiao Song, you put them on the bill as well. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

Song Ning's eyes widened.

He didn't!

Although he asked Teacher Wang to owe him money in order to take better care of Ergouzi at school, he had never done such a thing.

"Lance, I..." Song Ning wanted to explain anxiously, but at the same time he was shocked - he had never seen such a shameless person.

He's also the dean of a school!

"Did you take care of Teacher Wang?"

Lance patted the back of Song Ning's hand to comfort him, then sat down steadily and asked a question.

"what?"

The old man didn't understand.

"I asked Teacher Wang if you have taken care of Er Gouzi in school?"

Lance squeezed Song Ning's hand, stood up and brought him a stool. Song Ning breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

"Ningning, has Er Gouzi ever had any problems at school and was taken care of by Teacher Wang?"

Song Ning was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked at the old man.

"No, on the contrary, last year he was very sick with a fever and I didn't notice it. Later, when I closed the stall, I found out and rushed him to the hospital but forgot to ask for leave. As a result, Er Gouzi said that when he went to school in the afternoon, he was caught by Teacher Wang and scolded. He said that he pretended to be sick and didn't come to class at such a critical time, and asked him to write a self-criticism in front of everyone at the meeting on Monday."

The old man's face suddenly turned green.

Is there such a thing?

He frantically tried to recall whether this had happened last year - it wouldn't matter if he didn't recall it, but once he did, it was overwhelming!

How would he know about that Er Gouzi? As a dean, when would he remember the names of so many students? It wasn't like he was paid a lot of money to take care of them...

"Is that so? It seems that Teacher Wang is very upright for not accepting our 'bribe'. I guess Teacher Wang really didn't intend to accept those 'gifts' either. So the account is still correct and we won't change it."

Lance had a look on his face that said 'see, I was right.'

Teacher Wang had a very ugly expression.

Are you trying to force him to admit his mistake?

This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a nebulous situation.

Admit it? That's more than a thousand yuan.

Deny? Then where would his reputation and face be?

He was just struggling with his dilemma when the couple who had been sitting next to him suddenly joined in.

"Xiao Song, look at what Lance said. He's really going too far. Are you going to let an outsider like him bully us neighbors like this?"

What does this mean?

Only then did Song Ning notice that this couple were the same two people who were staring at him yesterday?

And why did it sound wrong to him when they said this?

"Am I an outsider?"

Lance tilted his head and looked at the couple with a smile, but glanced at Song Ning out of the corner of his eye.

Could it be that Song Ning said he was going out to buy something that night?

"If you are not an outsider, then who is an outsider?"

When the wife put down her bowl and chopsticks, she put her hands on her hips and spoke in a loud voice.

"I heard from my sister-in-law who works at the police station. She said Xiao Song went to the police station to call the police, saying that you and your family were lost and they wanted to find your family. Listen, doesn't this prove that you are not from Xiao Song's family at all?"

Song Ning's heart felt like it had fallen into an icy cave.

He didn't, he didn't mean for things to turn out like this, he just thought what if Lance's family was looking for him.

A huge panic and belated regret overwhelmed him, Song Ning's eyes went dark and he almost couldn't breathe.

A warm hand gently supported his lower back and caught him. Song Ning turned around and saw Lance raising his eyebrows.

"Let's not talk about our affairs. You have no right to interfere. But your sister-in-law is at the police station, but she casually exposes people's privacy? What's her name? I'll go and complain to her after the door is closed. She should be punished, right?"

The woman's face turned pale in an instant, and the man next to her became anxious and slapped her in the face.

"I told you to stop causing trouble but you insisted on making trouble! Are you happy now?"
