My bad ex-husband scolded me for being infertile? A wealthy man got married again and had two babies

Chapter 511 Xia Junan extra [10]

The Western meal for two people at 159 actually tastes pretty good.

For college students, even this kind of Western food is a bit of a luxury.

After all, not all college students have family backgrounds like Zhang Mengdi and Yang Jiao.

Jiang Ting tried hard to find the angle and took some photos. She then carefully selected a few from these photos, adjusted the colors, added filters, and cropped them. Finally, she chose four photos and posted them on WeChat Moments.

Caption: Times are good, and I’m lucky to have you by my side.

She chose a good angle for taking the photo, with the focus on the food. She did not capture the background of the western restaurant or Xia Junan.

Not even the desktop was included.

The food they chose was steak, pizza, corn soup and vegetable salad, the kind that's not easy to tell is of high quality.

As for French fries, pasta with eggs, etc., she didn't take any pictures.

Xia Junan waited for her for nearly twenty minutes. Seeing that she was still fiddling with her phone, he couldn't help but remind her, "Eat first, or it will get cold."

Jiang Ting stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and put her phone aside. "This is my first time eating Western food. I want to take more photos to show my mom. She hasn't eaten it yet."

Xia Junan felt pity in his heart and said quickly, "When I go home during the holidays, I will take you and Auntie to eat again."

He remembered that Jiang Ting had said that her mother had heart problems, so he asked with concern, "Auntie, have you gone to the hospital for a checkup? Is she okay?"

Jiang Ting's face showed some worry. She couldn't eat anymore. She put her knife and fork aside and shook her head. "She called me yesterday and said that she had checked and there was nothing wrong. But I saw her eyes were red and she didn't dare to look me in the eye when she spoke. I was afraid that she was... hiding something from me."

Upon hearing this, Xia Junan quickly said, "Then give Auntie another call and ask her clearly. If it's really a heart problem, you must not delay."

Jiang Ting forced a smile, "I know."

She still looked worried. Xia Junan was worried that if this matter was delayed any longer, there would be bad results. After thinking for a while, he said, "How about this? Let's go back to North City together this Friday and accompany Auntie to the hospital for a re-examination. I'm afraid you can't get anything out of her just by calling her."

Jiang Ting smiled bitterly, "Brother Jun'an, why doesn't my mother dare to tell me the truth? Isn't it because she is afraid of spending money? If it was a small amount of money, my mother would definitely not be like this. I guess it is a large amount of money, so she doesn't dare to say it."

Xia Junan knew her family's situation and said, "I'll find a way to deal with the money. We can apply for the Fu Group's Poverty Alleviation Foundation. I'm sure it won't embarrass you."

Jiang Ting shook her head. "I don't want to apply for the poverty alleviation fund again. Brother Jun'an, the Fu Group has helped me once. I can't be greedy and let people think I'm making money. This will not be good for your reputation."

Xia Junan was puzzled. "How can this be considered greedy? The poverty alleviation fund is meant for people in need. Who would use something like their parents' illness to defraud money?"

The smile on Jiang Ting's face froze, and then she smiled again, "Brother Jun'an, if it weren't for your face, how could they allocate this fund to me? Don't say it, I really don't want to apply for this fund."

Xia Junan looked conflicted, "What if Auntie needs money?"

Jiang Ting looked at him hesitantly and worriedly, "Brother Jun'an, I have an unwelcome request. Can you... borrow some money from your sister? When we make money in the future, we will pay her back. This way, I won't feel inferior to others and I will feel better."

Xia Junan was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Okay, let's go back this Friday to take Auntie for a check-up. If we really need a lot of money, I'll borrow some from Sister Yansang."

He could understand Jiang Ting's self-esteem and was willing to respect her. Anyway, no matter how much money they borrowed, they would pay it back to Sister Yansang in the future.

"Brother Jun'an, I don't think we need to go back specially. I'll call my mother tonight to ask her. If she knew that we can raise enough money, she might not hide it from me." Jiang Ting smiled. "My father is in good health now and can take care of my mother. The round-trip fare for the two of us is not small, so we can save a little bit."

Xia Junan thought about it and realized that this made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this for now. You can talk to Auntie later. It's not good to hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor. Medicine is so advanced nowadays, it will definitely be cured."

Because of Jiang Ting's constant induction, Xia Junan had already assumed in his mind that Jiang Ting's mother had a heart disease that required surgery.

Then they started eating, but after Jiang Ting took a few bites of steak, she put down the knife and started eating potato chips instead.

She complained unintentionally, "Brother Jun'an, this beef is so hard to chew."

Xia Junan also felt that the steak was not very good. It tasted like synthetic steak, with tough tendons in the middle. When he ate steak with Brother Fu and Sister Yansang before, the meat was soft and tender. Although he was not used to the taste, the texture was much better than this.

He felt a little guilty and said to Jiang Ting, "This should be a synthetic steak. I don't have much money now, and I have to save it for the two of us to eat. I can only let you eat this for now. When the subsidy comes in a while, I will take you to eat a good Western meal."

Jiang Ting smiled with curved eyebrows, "Brother Jun'an, as long as I can be with you, I don't care whether I eat cheap steak or good steak."

Xia Junan's heart was filled with emotion. He felt sorry for her understanding and thoughtfulness, but also blamed himself for not being able to give her the best life.

The fact that she was so easily content made him feel even more guilty.

After dinner, Jiang Ting went to the bathroom.

Xia Junan sat there and finished eating everything that Jiang Ting had left.

The western food was not large in portion and he actually wasn’t full.

Just after finishing the fried chicken nuggets and bringing Jiang Ting's remaining steak over, the cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

It was Jiang Ting’s cell phone. She didn’t bring her cell phone because she thought the bathroom was dirty.

Xia Junan took a look and saw it was a North City number with no remarks.

Naturally, he would not take the initiative to answer the phone for Jiang Ting, so he ignored it. However, after the ringing stopped, it rang again.

It’s still the same number as before.

Xia Junan couldn't help but think more. Jiang Ting's mother had a heart disease. What if something happened outside and someone called Jiang Ting? If she missed the call, it might cause irreversible consequences.

Xia Junan didn't care about privacy anymore and quickly picked up the phone. There was a man's voice on the other end of the phone, "Tingting——"

When Xia Junan heard the other party call her Tingting directly, he knew that she knew Jiang Ting, and hurriedly said, "She went to the bathroom and will be back soon. You kept calling, is there something urgent?"

The man opposite paused for a moment and asked with interest, "Are you her boyfriend?"

Xia Junan quickly said politely, "Yes, I am her boyfriend. My name is Xia Junan. May I ask who you are——?"

The man smiled and said, "My last name is Jiang. Have you ever heard her mention me?"

Xia Junan said, "I'm sorry, we rarely talk about our relatives at home, and I haven't heard her mention you."

The other party should not be in a hurry, and the tone of his voice sounds like that of a relative or an elder.

So he was very polite. Since he wanted to be with Jiang Ting until the end, he naturally had to leave a good impression on her relatives.
