After I was in debt of one million, I opened a factory in the 1990s

Chapter 369 Chance Encounter
For example, today, after work, the male boss at the pastry counter gave her two boxes of cream cakes. In the past, she would never have eaten such things, but she couldn't refuse them since they were given to her by others.

Carrying the pastries in one hand, Wu Jinyao returned to her rental house in the urban village near the supermarket.

This rental house is a two-story building built by the landlord herself. There are a dozen single rooms on each floor. Each room is more than 20 square meters and costs more than 300 yuan per month. If it didn't have an independent bathroom, she would never rent such a place.

Entering the yard of the rental house and looking at the messy environment around, a picture flashed through Wu Jinyao's mind. When they lived in the Cui family villa, the entire second floor belonged to them.

Like the night now, she and Cui Xiuyuan should be wrapped in a blanket on the second-floor terrace, watching the stars. While thinking, Wu Jinyao felt annoyed again. If she had known that the Cui family would recover so quickly, she would not have left. After two years of tossing and turning, she was exhausted both physically and mentally. She made up her mind that after she and Cui Xiuyuan remarried, she must live a good life.
Wu Jinyao entered the yard of the rental house and met a middle-aged fat woman. She was the landlord of the yard.

The landlady greeted her with a smile while cracking melon seeds, "Xiao Wu, it's time to get off work."

Wu Jinyao was annoyed with her, but she had to pretend to greet her enthusiastically, "Hey, it's time to get off work, big sister."

The landlord leaned close to her and whispered, "Xiao Wu, how have you thought about what I told you?"

The landlady introduced Wu Jinyao to a man, who was her cousin. Her cousin's wife had just passed away, leaving behind two half-grown children. However, her cousin was very well off, as his home was nearby and he had several houses for rent.

The man secretly glanced at Wu Jinyao several times and he was very satisfied.

Wu Jinyao smiled and said, "Thank you, big sister." She raised her head and said, "I don't want to look for it anymore."

The landlady snorted in displeasure and raised her voice, "You still think you are a virgin. You are already middle-aged and you still can't figure yourself out!"

Wu Jinyao was so angry that she was shaking. She turned around and went upstairs with the cake in her hand.

The house she rented was on the second floor.

Just as Wu Jinyao was about to open the door, the door next to her opened and a tall, well-dressed young man in his thirties came out. He was wearing an old sweater with a black cashmere coat on the outside and his hair was neatly combed.
Wu Jinyao was stunned when she looked at the man, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes. She remembered that a little girl had just moved in next to her. Could it be that she was living with this man?

The man's clothes were very elegant, and he didn't look like someone who could rent a house in a village in the city.

The middle-aged man was startled when he saw Wu Jinyao, then he greeted her very gently and politely, and took the initiative to explain, "Hello, I'm here on a business trip, and I came to see my sister."

Wu Jinyao nodded. So that's it.

Wu Jinyao smiled at him, opened the door and was about to go in.

"Wait a moment," the man called her politely. He turned and went into the house, then quickly brought out a bag of handmade chocolates and handed it to Wu Jinyao, saying, "My sister often says that her neighbors take good care of her. Thank you."

Wu Jinyao recognized it. A small portion of that chocolate cost more than a hundred yuan. This man actually gave this kind of chocolate to a stranger he had never met before!
Seeing that Wu Jinyao was a little stunned, the man put the bag in her arms, closed their door, and then turned around and went downstairs.

Wu Jinyao walked in with the bag in her hand in a daze. When she opened the bag, she saw that there was more than just a small portion inside, but four boxes in total. This bag cost five hundred yuan.

After Wu Jinyao finished washing up and enjoyed two chocolates, she was about to go to bed when she heard a quarrel coming from the next room. However, the quarrel did not last long. Soon there were banging sounds and girls screaming.

Wu Jinyao looked at the chocolates on the table, then at the desserts on the table, opened the door and went out, knocking on the door next door.

Soon someone came to open the door. It was the man. He was not wearing a coat, only a turtleneck sweater. You could see that the muscles under the sweater must be very strong. He was originally full of anger, but when he saw that it was Wu Jinyao, his expression improved. "I disturbed you, didn't I? Sorry," he whispered, "My sister doesn't want to go back with me, she's angry." Wu Jinyao shyly handed over the dessert in her hand, "Eat some dessert and you'll feel better. If you have anything to say, let's discuss it properly and don't argue."

"Okay," the man took the dessert, "thank you."

Wu Jinyao smiled at him and turned back.

Wu Jinyao thought about the man's gentle temperament, handsome face, and exquisite outfit last night. She tossed and turned in bed at night. The next day she had to work a late shift. She stayed in bed for a while longer in the morning, then got up and cooked porridge. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door. She was startled for a moment and asked, "Who?"

"Hello, can I help you?"

Wu Jinyao recognized it as the man next door.

She quickly went to open the door. The man wore a shirt today. He took a black coat and said to Wu Jinyao in distress, "The button of my clothes fell off. My sister doesn't have needle and thread. Can you help me sew it?"

"No problem." Wu Jinyao made way for the door and said, "Come in, it's cold outside."

"Hey, thank you."

The man came into the room and handed over the black coat. Wu Jinyao did not ignore the watch on his wrist.

She recognized the brand of the watch. The cheapest ones cost tens of thousands. The coat in her hand was extremely soft and it looked like cashmere. She didn't see any logo on the coat and thought that it must have been custom-made and was also not cheap.

Wu Jinyao asked him to sit and wait for a moment while she went to get the needle and thread.

The porridge in the rice cooker was almost cooked, so Wu Jinyao turned it off.

The man looked at the rice cooker and asked, "You haven't had breakfast yet?"

"We'll be at work a little later today, so we'll have dinner late too." Wu Jinyao sat down and gently began to sew buttons for the man.

She lowered her head and could even see the man's eyes on her, so she straightened her back unconsciously.

It was just a pity that it only took a few minutes to sew a button. After the button was sewn, Wu Jinyao handed the clothes to the man and said with a smile, "It's done."

The man took the clothes and stood up. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The man took two steps out, then stopped and looked at her steadily, saying, "The porridge you cooked smells delicious, very much like the taste I had when I was a child. Can I have a bowl?"

The two people were very close, so close that Wu Jinyao felt a little dizzy when she smelled the cologne on him.

Seeing the man's gaze, Wu Jinyao felt a little flustered...

The man felt disappointed when he saw Wu Jinyao didn't say "yes". "Forget it, sorry for bothering me today. Thank you."
