"What good news?" Huo Mian was curious .
"I'll tell you later . Eat first . " Wei Dong played coy .
With a closer look, Wei Dong was now an entirely different man compared to the unfortunate one she first met . Donning a clean white shirt, he was glowing from within .
Just then, Wei Dong's mother came out of the kitchen with plates of food . "Alright, we can start eating . Dong, bring Mian a bowl and a pair of chopsticks!"
"Right . "
The mother-and-son duo went in and out of the kitchen, preparing for the meal . After the dishes were all on the table, the three of them took their seats around it .
Huo Mian glanced at the table; there weren't many dishes, only four .

There was one plate of braised carp, one plate of garlic-meat stir fry, one plate of tiger-skin green pepper, and finally, one plate of tomato-stewed beef brisket .
Although the food was ordinary homemade cuisine, it smelled delicious and was incredibly authentic .
"Mian, you're hungry, right? Hurry up and eat . " Wei Dong's mother smiled at Huo Mian .
"My mom's a really great cook . Try it . " Wei Dong began to add food to Huo Mian's plate .
Huo Mian couldn't refuse the overwhelming kindness . She lowered her head and began eating .
"How is it?" Wei Dong asked .
"It's delicious!" Huo Mian was sincere as could be .
"If you like it, have more . " Wei Dong's mother added more food to Huo Mian's plate .

"It's okay, Auntie, I can't finish all of this, haha . You don't have to give me more food . I'm embarrassed . "
"Don't worry! Eat! Look how skinny you are . Eat more . "
Thank you, Auntie . "
After an exchange of civilities, the three began to eat and chat .
Wei Dong was in a great mood . He even opened up a beer bottle .
As the end neared, Wei Dong's mother suddenly got up and then got down on her knees, startling Huo Mian .
"Huo Mian, my son was able to make a come back in life, all because of you! Thank you so much . I'm really, really grateful . "

"Auntie, what are you doing? Please get up . This is too much . "
Huo Mian felt helpless . She couldn't move the old woman because of the weight difference .
"I really want to thank you . Really . . . all of Dong's friends and classmates completely ignored us after we went bankrupt . Last month, we almost ran out of money for my medicine . Dong tried to borrow 1,000 yuan from his friend but was turned down . I don't blame them really . . . After all, everyone's pragmatic and need to think of themselves first . So when I learned that you lent Dong so much money, I really didn't know how to react . . . I still don't know what to say . Basically, thank you, our entire family will be forever in your debt . "
"Auntie, please get up first . I can't stay if you're like this . "
"Mom, get up first . You're scaring Huo Mian," Wei Dong chimed in .
Wei Dong's mother was finally convinced . Huo Mian helped her up . "Auntie, I lent him the money . He'll give it back to me once he earns enough . Plus, I know that Wei Dong's really smart in business . As long as he works hard, I'm sure that he'll make a comeback and become more and more successful . "
"Thank you for trusting my son . Honestly, he's always liked you . . . He talked about you when you were both in school .
He talked about how clever you were, how you were always number one even without studying . He talked about how low-key you are, how honorable and basically everything that's good . He even wanted to court you . . . "
"Ahem . . . Mom, that was a long time ago, don't mention it anymore . " Wei Dong looked embarrassed .
Huo Mian had already rejected him back when the Wei Family was wealthy, not to mention now . It was ridiculous to talk about the past now .
"Anyway, listen to me, you gave Dong so much money . . . I really . . . don't know how to thank you . " Wei Dong's mother was very emotional .
"Auntie, it's nothing . We're classmates . I am obligated to help him . "
"Dong, did you tell her about the thing yet?" Wei Dong's mother wiped away her tears .
"I didn't have the time . . . Mom, you completely took over, haha . " Wei Dong laughed helplessly .
"Then hurry up . It's a good thing . You have to tell her . " Wei Dong's mother encouraged .
"What is it? Tell me . " The mother-and-son duo's conversation completely piqued Huo Mian's interest .
