Chapter 141
The man looked young. Wearing gray clothes, he looked even more ashen.
Anna Stuat paused for a moment, and then looked at the man in front of her, who quietly took two steps back.
Although it seemed that this person was normal and didn’t do anything radical, after what had happened before, the situation in Anna Stuat was always a little more cautious.
She had to be on her guard.
“Do you know me?” she looked at the man in front and felt a little familiar, but she really couldn’t remember who he was.
He didn’t expect Anna Stuat to ask such a question.
Then he rubbed his face in disbelief.
“You… You don’t recognize me?”
He pulled the hair off his face hard, afraid that it would cover his face, so that Anna Stuat wouldn’t recognize him.
“I’m Edmond Zhou!”
Anna Stuat’s face froze.
She couldn’t recognize the man in front of her, but she remembered the name Edmond Zhou.
Edmond Zhou was her childhood playmate in the Liu village.
At that time, many children in the village didn’t like her because of her family background. They thought she didn’t have a father, so many people liked to bully her and call her little bastard secretly.
Only Edmond Zhou would play with her and protect her when she was a child.
Anna Stuat and Edmond Zhou grew up together like this until they were more than ten years old. Later, Anna Stuat was admitted to the high school in the town, and Edmond Zhou also had a way out.
“Edmond Zhou, so you are Edmond Zhou.” the face in her memory gradually overlapped the face in front of her.
He was indeed very similar to Edmond Zhou when he was young.
As a matter of fact, Anna Stuat should have remembered him.
During the period of her last life, she had been locked up in a dark room. Anna Stuat was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Gradually, she felt that the past memories seemed to have passed for several lifetimes, and she was about to forget the people in the past.
It was not until she was reborn that she slowly regained her memories.
But Edmond Zhou was gradually forgotten by him.
But she didn’t expect to see him today.
Anna Stuat was indeed pleasantly surprised.
“It’s me.” seeing that Anna Stuat recognized him, Edmond breathed a sigh of relief.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“You…”
Only then did Anna Stuat notice Edmond Zhou’s clothes.
He looked a little embarrassed, probably from a distance, but he only carried a shabby bag on his back.
When she looked at his shoes, Anna Stuat found that the toes of his shoes had been loosened.
“Why did you come to the capital city?” Anna Stuat quickly looked away, pretending not to see it, and asked in a relaxed tone, “when did you arrive?”
Although Anna Stuat’s gaze was very short, and it had returned to its normal state, it looked very normal.
But Edmond Zhou didn’t ignore her gaze.
Only then did he realize that he should be embarrassed at the moment.
The joy of reunion disappeared.
Right.
Anna Stuat was now the daughter of the rich Stuat group in the capital, and the fiancee of the president of the Andrew group. Who was she?
With his fingers tangled together, Edmond Zhou’s voice was not as confident and energetic as before. He looked a little dull. “I just arrived.”
Anna Stuat was so sensitive that she could see his uneasiness. Her eyes darkened slightly, and then she smiled and said, “that’s great. I’m going to have dinner. Let’s go together.”
Edmond Zhou was about to refuse.
But before he could say anything, Anna Stuat had already pushed him on the shoulder and led him to a restaurant across the Andrew group building.
In fact, this restaurant was just a very ordinary white-collar restaurant.
The decoration was common and the cost was not very high.
This was also the decision made by Anna Stuat after careful consideration.
As her only good friend in her childhood, she was naturally willing to treat him something good.
However, in such a situation, if she took him to such a high-end restaurant, it would make him feel inferior, so Anna Stuat chose this place.
However, to his surprise, the moment she stepped into the restaurant, Edmond Zhou still had the intention of flinching.
Looking at the elegant decoration of the restaurant, he was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to do.
“Are we going to eat here?”
It was not until then that Anna Stuat realized that Edmond Zhou had led a worse life than she had guessed.
She pretended to smile lightly and said, “since you’re here today, I’ll take it as a welcome.”
Then she took him in without demur.
Edmond Zhou’s eyes darkened again. Looking at the back of Anna Stuat, he hesitated for a moment and followed her in.
The emissary quickly served the menu.
The menu was for the two of them. When Edmond Zhou saw the menu, his expression became more stiff.
Judging from his expression, she knew that he couldn’t order any food. Anna Stuat could only order a few home cooked dishes.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, she tried her best to talk about some childhood topics. Finally, Edmond Zhou calmed down slowly and didn’t look so reserved.
After the dishes were served, the two of them chatted while eating. Gradually, they got back to the feeling of acquaintance.
Anna Stuat breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “I haven’t heard of you for all these years. Where have you been?”
Hearing this question, Edmond Zhou smiled bitterly.
“I didn’t get as good grades as you did. I left home to look for a job before I went to high school, but I didn’t get along well with you later.”
More precisely, a year was not as good as a year.
Edmond took a big gulp of water from the cup beside him, as if drinking it as wine.
“Then you…” Anna Stuat wanted to ask why you came to the capital city. But after a short pause, she changed the topic, “have you been back to the Liu Village these years?”
Edmond Zhou shook his head without thinking too much.
“Over the years, I have been wandering all over the world, tossing and turning, and never returned.”
His parents had already passed away, so there was nothing to miss in the whole village.
Besides, there was no need to go back?
Others was well-dressed and came back to his hometown, but he was dejected and embarrassed. Would he go back to make a fool of himself?
he didn’t go back?
Anna Stuat pursed her lips slightly and looked up at Edmond Zhou with a meaningful look that could not be seen clearly by Edmond Zhou.
Now it was not the past.
No matter how close friends were in the early years, they had changed and experienced different things after growing up.
