Chapter 43: An Unexpected Encounter
I smiled and said, "It cost me about 200 yuan in the hospital to treat my injuries." My bicycle, although it cost more than 300 when I bought it, has been used for several years, and it is no longer worth that much money. Also, my shirt was torn and I couldn't wear it. It's new, and it's worth fifty dollars. I did the math, you only need to give me five hundred dollars to make up for my loss. I deserve the rest, Mr. Tang, you should take it back. ”
Tang Xiaoru didn't seem to expect me to say this, and looked at me with some surprise for a long time. After a long while, she said, "As I said, this money is mainly for you to recover your health." You were injured in order to save me, and you shed so much blood, which is very damaging to your body, and it is not something that can be compensated for with a bandage and two stitches. Moreover, I asked you to rest at home for a few more days, but you didn't want to, and you came to work before the injury healed. So what can I do but give you a little money to compensate? ”
I also understood what Tang Xiaoru meant, she said that she had settled her grievances with me, but in fact she was still repaying me for her help in disguise. I began to feel a little ashamed, if I had to accept her compensation for her injury, then how can I compensate for the mental injury I treated her so roughly last time, and even shamelessly insulted her?
So, I said seriously: "Mr. Tang, you don't need to do anything in the first place, didn't we say that we would settle the grievances from now on?" The wounds I have suffered may not be as good as the damage I have done to you. If you have to be so clear, then I can only make up for my mistakes. I don't have the money, and I can't compensate you financially. After accepting your compensation, I had no choice but to turn myself in to the public security organs, saying that I had bullied you. ”
My words suddenly made Tang Xiaoru stunned, looking at me blankly, I don't know if she remembered the situation that night, her already slightly red face became even more rosy.
I continued: "Mr. Tang, in fact, I understand your intentions, and I know that you are a good woman who knows how to repay your kindness. But what I have done, I can make up for a little bit of the damage I have done to you, and I am already very satisfied, and I really don't deserve your care and gratitude so much. You can take the money back. In fact, I didn't be polite to you, I took it when it was mine, and I also ate the meal you invited today. That's enough for me, I don't need it, and I don't dare to accept anything from you anymore. Mr. Tang, we're really clear now, okay? ”
Tang Xiaoru was silent for a long time, and finally reached out and took back the envelope containing the money on the table. Then, she began to smile slightly, and said, "Well, if I don't take it back, it's like I haven't forgiven you." To reassure you, I won't force you. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and stood up, saying, "That's exactly how it should be!" Mr. Tang, if the matter is over, then I will really say goodbye. Thank you for the dinner and see you soon! ”
Tang Xiaoru grabbed the bag and said, "Wait a minute, right?" Anyway, I'm fine tonight, I'll drive you home after paying the bill. ”
Without waiting for my consent, she rang the call bell on the table. I thought that Tang Xiaoru had a car anyway, and there was nothing to take her car home, so I didn't turn around and left, standing there and waiting for her to finish paying and going downstairs together.
Soon, the waiter pushed the door in, and Tang Xiaoru offered to pay the bill. As soon as the settlement was settled, I was shocked, this meal didn't seem to eat anything, but it cost Tang Xiaoru nearly seven hundred yuan. What is so expensive? Could it be the bottle of red wine?
Seeing Tang Xiaoru pay seven hundred yuan without blinking her eyes, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. I knew that I was drinking beer with Tang Xiaoru at that time, and it cost me half a month's basic salary to eat a meal, so I can't be so extravagant if I have money, right?
I don't know if my fleshy expression was seen by Tang Xiaoru, she couldn't hold back her laughter when she paid the bill. I really want to say a good word about her, if she were my family, she would have been scolded by me a long time ago. Unfortunately, this woman does not belong to me, and I am not qualified to teach her.
Out of the private room, I went downstairs with Tang Xiaoru. Walking side by side, I noticed that Tang Xiaoru was so long, almost not much shorter than me. Although she is wearing high heels and has added a few centimeters of height out of thin air, you must know that I am 1.82 meters tall! No matter how Tang Xiaoru is, she is more than 1.7 meters, right?
A Chinese female surname is rare to be more than 1.7 meters tall. Even if there are, many of them are just thin and long, and their bodies have been out of shape. There are very few tall and graceful figures like Tang Xiaoru. Oh my god, she still wears high heels, which is literally more than many normal men. Walking with her, don't talk about women, even most men will feel inferior, right?
While thinking, I had already walked down the stairs with Tang Xiaoru. As soon as I turned a corner, I saw the door of the store below push open, and a petite but delicate young woman walked in. Immediately, a welcoming waitress went up to greet her and said, "Welcome, how many ladies are there?" Have you made a reservation? ”
The petite young woman said, "Yes? I made an appointment and may have been waiting for me up there. ”
Tang Xiaoru, who was walking beside me, suddenly stopped, I was stunned, and subconsciously stopped. Turning his head, Tang Xiaoru's face was full of surprise and embarrassment at this moment, looking at the woman who had just come in below, and she wanted to avoid it.
I was about to ask this woman do you know? I heard someone below suddenly say happily: "Huh? Xiaoru? Haha, didn't you say you didn't want to come with me? Why did you arrive earlier than me? ”
I turned my head and saw the young woman who had just come in and was overjoyed walking towards us. Hearing her words, I just wondered if this person was the friend on Tang Xiaoru's phone who was about to go on a blind date, and suddenly, Tang Xiaoru beside me reached out and gently pushed me, signaling me to go downstairs and go out. Then, with a smile on her face, she greeted her friend and said, "Who said I was here to accompany you?" I've been here for a long time, and I've just finished dinner with an important merchant and am about to leave. How? Did you and your blind date meet here? ”
