I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 333: The upset girl is ready to poach someone. (Second update!)

"Xiaomi, do you...have feelings for him too..."

Zhu Yulan's words made Zhao Lianmai, who always had a stern face, dazed for a moment.

The wok in his hand bumped into the stove, sending sparks flying.

She silently turned her gaze to look at Zhu Yulan. After staring at each other for a moment, her pretty face was slightly moved, but in the end, she said calmly, "I like... I don't care about such things. I know my own worth."

Zhao Lianmai's words were calm, but the very fact of saying them already represented an answer.

Yes, good feelings are something that cannot be seen or touched. They come and go like a dream.

Like, like, love...

There are three stages, and each step is as different as heaven and earth.

There is no doubt that Zhao Lianmai definitely has a good impression of Xu Musen.

Or, if she were in Zhao Lianmai's shoes.

She was so poor that she had to split every penny she earned, her father abandoned his wife and daughter, her mother was seriously ill, and her sister had no choice but to drop out of school...

Each of these things is a huge burden on a person, but at the same time, they are all weighing on the shoulders of this thin girl.

She was carrying a heavy load and was stuck in the mud, but at this moment she met Xu Musen, the man who changed her life.

Xu Musen gave her a job, gave her full respect, and also gave her a rare dignity. She no longer had to run around for tuition, her mother finally got the life-saving money, her sister could go back to school, and the old house that leaked when it rained could finally be renovated and rebuilt...

For Zhao Lianmai, Xu Musen is really like an angel, bringing her a completely different life.

How could I not have a good impression of him?

Zhao Lianmai's face was calm.

"Wheat, your hand!"

But Zhu Yulan screamed, and Zhao Lianmai felt the pain in her finger. She looked down and saw that one of her fingers had fallen on the edge of the wok. At this moment, her finger had been burned and had a circle of red marks.

"Flush first!"

Zhu Yulan quickly turned off the fire, then took her hand, turned on the faucet and poured hot water into her.

Zhao Lianmai just looked at her burned fingers silently.

Zhu Yulan also looked at her and sighed in her heart. It was obvious that Zhao Lianmai's heart was far from as calm as she appeared on the surface.

The words "knowing one's own weight" perhaps also carry a sadness that only she herself understands.

You must not meet anyone who is too amazing when you are young, otherwise you will probably be trapped for the rest of your life.

"You just said that...what about you? What do you think of him?"

Zhao Lianmai suddenly asked.

What Zhu Yulan said just now means that you "also" have a good impression of him.

But in fact, it could be felt a long time ago that the three words "Xu Musen" had appeared more and more frequently in this young lady's world since a long time ago.

"I…"

Zhu Yulan was a little absent-minded, and her mind was quickly recalling the scenes she had experienced with Xu Musen.

Xu Musen was the first person who dared to cheat her, the first person who didn't treat her like a young lady, the first person who took her to KFC, and the first person who stood up for her...

Of course, what attracted her most was Xu Musen's character, which was always full of hope and gentleness.

No matter how big the problem is, he will always show his gentle and hopeful side to those around him.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

No matter how small the sprout is, it should have grown into branches long ago.

However, she felt that she was not as frank as Zhao Lianmai in this regard.

She shook her head: "To be honest, I don't even know my own weight now..."

Zhu Yulan gave a complicated smile. If, if Xu Musen didn't have a girlfriend, she might really be able to muster up the courage.

But now...

Although my second sister said that a girl from one family is pursued by hundreds of families, the same goes for boys, as long as they are not married or engaged, anyone has the right to pursue her.

Even if it's poaching, it doesn't matter... For the family, interests come first.

Now Xu Musen's abilities have been valued by many big families. It would be great if he could be brought in to be a son-in-law.

If Zhu Yulan tries to steal someone else's girlfriend, her family will definitely support her.

Her second sister doesn't care about the family's interests, but she hopes that her younger sister can be happy, even by any means necessary.

A forced melon is not sweet, but it can quench your thirst.

However, Zhu Yulan herself was confused...

She wanted to take it a step further, but every time she saw An Nuannuan, she felt guilty.

Obviously, she was very nice to me, but I wanted to steal her away.

But if she was asked to take a step back, Zhu Yulan would feel unwilling deep down in her heart.

Especially during this period of time, she could feel that something seemed to be quietly changing between Yao Mingyue, Xu Musen, and An Nuannuan.

If Yao Mingyue can do it, why can't I...

But this thought only flashed through my mind.

Neither of them spoke for a long time.

They both tacitly agreed not to bring up the topic any further.

It's just that one person looks at the other's tangled eyes, and the other person looks at the other's burned fingers.

The two people who were secretly in love had a tacit understanding in their hearts.

"Scumbag..."

"Ah!"

At this time, the kitchen door was opened and Xu Musen walked in, muttering about who was talking bad about him behind his back again.

"Why...are you burned?"

Xu Musen watched their actions and saw the burns on Zhao Lianmai's fingers, so he immediately walked over.

"It's a minor injury...no problem."

Zhao Lianmai was a little confused when she saw him.

"You're so careless. You need to apply ointment immediately to the burn, otherwise it will easily leave scars. Wait for me."

Xu Musen quickly went to get the medicine box. The villa was well stocked with all kinds of emergency medicines.

"Give me your hand."

Xu Musen picked up the burn ointment and stretched out his hand to her.

Zhao Lianmai was slightly stunned, and looking at the hand Xu Musen extended to her, she seemed a little stage frightened.

However, Zhu Yulan held her hand and handed it directly to Xu Musen.

The warmth from the palm of his hand made Zhao Lianmai stand like a piece of wood, unable to move.

Xu Musen carefully applied the ointment on her and then gently wrapped it with gauze.

"Well, luckily the burn is not serious. It will be fine in two days. But I'm afraid you can't touch sea water anymore."

Xu Musen comforted her and gently let go of her hand. "Thank you..."

Zhao Lianmai looked at her carefully bandaged hand, which seemed to still have a trace of warmth left.

"The food is burnt."

She pointed to the burnt food beside her.

"It's just a dish. Your hands help me make a lot of money. You must take good care of them, otherwise I will lose a lot in the future."

Xu Musen emphasized with a serious face.

He doesn't care about people's appearance at all, but it makes people feel warmer in their hearts.

"Okay, you all go take a rest, I'll just add two more dishes. Anyway, we mainly eat seafood when we come to the beach."

Xu Musen waved at the two of them, then he picked up his apron, tied it on, and started washing the pot and cooking again.

Zhu Yulan looked at him. This kind of emotionally stable and warm personality really made people love him but also helpless...

Zhao Lianmai also pursed her lips, nodded, turned around and left the kitchen.

eat.

Everyone was very concerned about Zhao Lianmai's burns, and because of this incident, everyone was able to open up and talk about it.

The girls were chattering non-stop.

They also drank a lot of fruit wine, especially Zhu Yulan, who seemed to be in a particularly moody mood today. She kept drinking and got herself a little drunk from the fruit wine.

Dinner is over.

Everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

Yao Mingyue still likes to sleep with An Nannan.

What surprised Xu Musen was that An Nannan actually took the initiative to hold her little pillow and go to sleep with Yao Mingyue, and she looked very expectant.

"When did you two become so familiar with each other?"

"Hehe, secret!"

An Nannan made a face at him and ran into the room.

Yao Mingyue also looked at him with a bit of gloating, hummed as well, and entered the room.

Oh, Xu Musen seriously doubted whether this little sickly girl Yao Mingyue was adopting the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside.

First, persuade the sister-in-law to rebel, and then be ready to take over as a warm-hearted person at any time?
But that was impossible, Xu Musen hugged his sweet and soft cutie and went back to the room.

Zhu Yulan and Zhao Lianmai also lived in the rooms opposite.

The good thing about the villa is that there are really many rooms, and the more people live in it, the more lively it is.

late at night.

Xu Musen was holding An Nuannuan and sighed: "I didn't expect Zhao Lianmai to come. It seems that she has changed a lot. And with her personality, she can actually play with Zhu Yulan, a young lady."

Xu Musen has always had a good impression of this girl named Zhao Lianmai, but of course, it is just a friendship.

A little girl, relying on herself to support a broken family.

He works diligently and has principles.

There's nothing to say about being friends.

With her in the company, Xu Musen doesn't have to worry too much.

"They all changed because of you, right? And who can end up with whom... it's hard to say."

An Nuannuan lay in his arms, and it was unclear whether the tone of her voice was a compliment or jealousy.

But the last sentence was definitely said on purpose.

Girls, no matter how harmless they are, will always have some concerns about gains and losses.

Xu Musen pinched her cheek and said, "They may have changed because of me, but I definitely changed because of you, so in the final analysis, our An Da boss lady is the best!

Besides, didn’t we agree on this? No matter what happens in the future, I will always be your best friend.”

After An Nuannuan listened, her body softened a little. She rubbed herself affectionately in his arms and hummed with satisfaction, like a cute little rabbit.

"hey-hey…"

She raised her head and kissed Xu Musen lightly on the cheek.

"Xu Musen, I love you so much..."

"Then let's do something we love!"

Xu Musen chuckled and turned off the bedside lamp.

"ah…"

Late at night.

The sea breeze blows gently outside the yard.

The waves roll in rhythmically, leaving traces of white foam on the neat and clean beach.

This is the breath of the sea, nurturing and swallowing up endless life.

At this moment, a figure was walking quietly on the beach.

Zhao Lianmai sat on a reef, quietly looking at the peaceful night in the distance.

For her, who was born at the foot of a mountain in the Central Plains, the ocean is more like a way to escape from the shackles of her thinking.

This was her first time really seeing the ocean, and her first time today, and she was a little upset…

She looked at her bandaged fingers, and the words Zhu Yulan had said to her today came to her mind vividly.

In fact, Zhao Lianmai never asked for anything.

She knew very well that she and Xu Musen could be good friends, good classmates, and good colleagues, but they just couldn't achieve that status.

To put it more clearly, they are not from the same world.

This feeling of gap cannot be made up by making money later.

What's more, Zhao Lian looked down at the sea, which could not reflect anything at night.

She stretched out her other hand and gently touched the sea water.

It was very cool, and seemed heavier than fresh water. The waves washed over her fingers layer by layer, just like her heart which was difficult to calm down.

She slowly withdrew her fingers, dipped them in sea water and gently put them into her mouth. They were very salty... and had a fishy smell.

But in Zhao Lianmai's heart, this represented the first step towards getting out of the shadow of the past. If she had the chance in the future, she would like to bring her mother and sister to see this different world with their own eyes.

She has already gotten a lot and shouldn't be greedy for anything more.

Forget it, there's no point in thinking about this now...

She looked at the sea in the distance. The farther she looked, the deeper the black became, as if it could drown out all her emotions.

She was lost in thought for a long time.

But I felt a shadow behind me illuminated by the moonlight.

"Xiaomai is enjoying her leisure time alone..."

Xu Musen appeared behind her at some point, holding two bottles of fruit wine in his hands, which he shook at her.
