Bow to tempt the peach

Chapter 54 Mr. Landlady?

There was a clear male voice on the other end of the phone, "Xu Xiaotao, I'm coming to Shanghai, come and pick me up."

Xu Youtao had a pleasant smile on her face and said with a smile, "Address."

The call ended quickly. She took her cell phone and told Fu Ling, "I have something to do tonight, so I'll leave early."

"You get off work by yourselves when the time comes."

Fu Ling nodded, "Okay."

Xu Youtao changed out of her work clothes and hurriedly left the chain restaurant.

On the subway, she received another call from her best friend.

There was excitement in Zhou Yao's tone, "Liang Yansheng, a big dog, is here. We can kill him severely."

Xu Youtao's lips curved, "Okay."

Liang Yansheng was her childhood friend, and they were neighbors in the same town. They were also pitiful little people who were loved by everyone nearby.

A biological father died young and his biological mother remarried, and the old couple depended on each other.

A biological mother dies young and a biological father marries another person. If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather.

To be precise, Liang Yansheng is more pitiful than Xu Youtao. At least Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu love Xu Youtao wholeheartedly. However, after he had a stepmother when he was a child, he was beaten and hungry every day, without enough food and clothing.

Even Xu Youtao couldn't stand it when he was a child, so he often helped his neighbor brother secretly.

Liang Yansheng was hindered by her stepmother when she was a child. Although she was two years older than Xu Youtao, she went to school in the same year as her. Later, they were admitted to a key high school in Su City together and met Zhou Yao.

After he went to college, he tried to write novels on the Internet for the first time, which was a turning point in his life.

Now, he is already a well-known suspense master in the Internet literary circle. He has sold his copyrights and completely changed his life.

……

When Xu Youtao arrived at the subway station, he saw Liang Yansheng standing at the exit dragging his suitcase. He was wearing a black and white plaid shirt, black jeans, and a pair of black glasses. He had a delicate appearance and a slim figure, and looked extremely low-key.

"Dayan!" Xu Youtao called Liang Yansheng's nickname.

Liang Yansheng dragged the box over and looked her up and down with a look of disgust on his face, "Are you fat?"

Xu Youtao:?

She couldn't help but clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and smiled, "What did you say?"

Liang Yansheng immediately changed his mind, "I have lost weight and become more beautiful."

"It's a pity that I'm still single."

Xu Youtao was convinced and glanced at him, "With your bad mouth, you deserve to be unable to find a partner."

"I thought you could learn to speak human language after staying in the deep mountains and forests for several months."

In the past few years, whenever Liang Yansheng got inspiration for a new book, he would drag his suitcase into remote mountains and forests, and lose contact for several months. He said that retreat can improve concentration.

Xu Youtao and Zhou Yao often couldn't contact him for two or three months, and they were both used to it.

Seeing him dragging his suitcase, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "How many months are you going to live in Shanghai?"

Liang Yansheng: "Can't we go to the barbecue restaurant and wait for Zhou Yao first?"

Just standing on the roadside chatting like this, several men passing by just stared at him, looking at him as if he was a loser who had fallen in love with a goddess.

Of course Xu Youtao had no objection and led the way.

The street here is basically full of barbecue restaurants, and the two of them went directly to the first one on the street.

Xu Youtao picked up the menu and looked at Liang Yansheng, who was holding a cup and drinking water, "Are you treating me?"

Liang Yansheng was angry, "Just relax."

Xu Youtao immediately ordered a bunch of skewers that she and Zhou Yao loved, and then began to ask where he had been hiding in the mountains for the past two months.

Liang Yan said: "What does hiding mean?"

He was dissatisfied, "I was in seclusion." Xu Youtao did not argue with him, "Have you rented a house in the Shanghai market?"

Liang Yansheng said proudly, "What can I rent? I bought an apartment."

Xu Youtao: "..."

She was so jealous that she didn't want to speak. He was indeed a big dog.

Seeing her deflated, Liang Yansheng was in an extremely good mood. Over the years, he, Xu Youtao and Zhou Yao had always had better relationships with each other the more they quarreled with each other.

"I haven't contacted my hometown for several months. Are there any new rumors?"

Xu Youtao's face was expressionless, "Oh, your stepmother said that you owed money to someone outside and you couldn't pay it back, so you were sold by debt collectors to dig coal abroad."

She didn't exaggerate the facts at all. This was what the two elderly people told her when she usually called her grandparents.

Now, everyone in their small town should know it.

Even though Liang Yansheng was mentally prepared, he was still shocked. In the end, he could only say: "It's her after all."

Ever since he was admitted to college, his stepmother had been working hard to smear his reputation. First, she spread rumors that he had messed around in college and made a female classmate pregnant, and later said that he was involved in a pyramid scheme.

Then he was kept by a rich woman, addicted to online gambling and borrowed loan sharks... and now he was sold to a foreign country to mine coal.

He has never explained it in these years, and he even wished that the rumor would be as outrageous as possible. It would be best if the whole family would never come to him.

Xu Youtao drank her drink calmly, not knowing who was worse off between her and Liang Yansheng.

Although he has a bad reputation, he is rich.

The two of them chatted about their experiences over the past few months, until Zhou Yao arrived at the barbecue restaurant.

When she arrived, the atmosphere became more lively.

"Hey, Dayan, are you back from digging coal? It's really dark."

Liang Yansheng rolled his eyes at her, "You're the only one with a mouth."

"You can talk like that, but you still can't catch up with that PE teacher."

When Zhou Yao was in Beijing, she fell in love with a high school physical education teacher and chased him for a month without letting him go.

She said quietly: "Why should the second brother laugh at the elder brother?"

"Only Xu Meigui can laugh."

Liang Yansheng reacted immediately, with shock on his face, "Xu Xiaotao, are you in trouble?"

Zhou Yao: "I'll be able to hold this beautiful man back in my arms soon."

Xu Youtao: "..."
-
The three people who had finally reunited were chatting enthusiastically here, but the atmosphere at the chain restaurant was not so wonderful.

Du Yan and Fu Ling, who had just gotten off work and had not had time to leave, looked confused when they saw Lu Chenyan suddenly appeared.

Du Yan: "Sir, are you looking in the wrong place?"

"This place is still being renovated and has not yet opened for business."

Fu Ling stared at Lu Chenyan's face for a while, and then asked, "Mr. Landlady?"

Lu Chenyan glanced around the hall and his face turned cold, "Where is Xu Youtao?"

Du Yan was confused by his girlfriend's words about Mr. Landlady. He heard him ask Xu Youtao and subconsciously said, "Sister Youtao has left beforehand."

I'm leaving?
Lu Chenyan lowered her lip line. He came over just after getting off the plane and wanted to give her a surprise, but she left first today?

Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out.

Fu Ling and Du Yan looked at each other, what's going on?
Is it possible that Sister Youtao owes someone money?

Fu Ling whispered Lu Chenyan's identity, and Du Yan's imagination was wide open, "Did Sister Youtao forget to pay the rent?"

This landlord looks too much like he is here to collect debts.
