Chapter 5 - Unexpected Encounter (2)

The truth was that Su Xinxin felt bad for her mother. Su Mingxia will wake up every morning and get her ready for kindergarten. She worked as a waitress in a restaurant and would sometimes come home very late. Even though she works extra hard, the money was still not enough.

"Yes...this will make you grow up very fast...finish your milk and have your breakfast... I'll be back" Su Mingxia said as she went back inside her room and quickly rushed to the bathroom to bath.

Few minutes later, she came out of her room all dressed up.

"Are you done?" Su Mingxia asked as she took the keys from the table

"Yes...won't you have breakfast?" Su Xinxin asked as she looked at her mother who was busy running round the house to make sure everything is in order.

"I'll eat later" Su Mingxia replied.

"Let's go" Su Mingxia said as they both left.

"Baby Xin...your godmother will come pick you up from school today" Su Mingxia said as they stood at the bus stop.

"Ok" Su Xinxin answered as they got on the bus.

After Su Mingxia dropped her daughter off at school, she took a taxi to the restaurant.

...

At the restaurant, Su Mingxia quickly changed into her uniform. She started attending to guests and taking their orders.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan had a business meeting and was meeting with some of his clients. The restaurant was located at the outskirts of X Nation.

Lu Yuan who had been living in the nation's capital was very reluctant to come here but he had to do so because of his father's threat.

Lu Yuan was taken to the VIP section of the restaurant but that didn't seem to make him hate the place less. His clients were already seated.

"Mr Lu" One of his clients greeted followed by the other. After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Yuan and his clients went ahead to discuss the business proposal.

Few hours later, Lu Yuan sealed the deal with his clients and they left.

"I'm hungry" Lu Yuan said as he rubbed his stomach.

He picked up the menu and opened the first page. His face darkened as he saw the food that was on the menu. He wasn't used to this kind of food. He wished he was back at the nation's capital.

A waiter came and took his order. Few minutes later, he brought the food to Lu Yuan and left. Lu Yuan felt as if he was deliberately poisoning himself but he had no other option. He was really starving. He closed his eyes and forced himself to eat.

After Lu Yuan finished eating, he quickly paid and was about to leave when his eyes caught a familiar face. Su Mingxia had just finished taking orders when she saw Lu Yuan.

Her facial expression changed as she remembered what happened four years ago. Since he was Xu Ningsheng's friend, it was highly impossible that he couldn't have known.
