Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 398 The knock on the door in the morning
  Li Ke nodded and prepared to leave with Xu Xiuwen.

The two of them had just walked to the door of the ward.

Mu Zhilan suddenly said: "Wait a minute."

Xu Xiuwen stopped and turned around to look back, "What's wrong?"

"I heard from Xiaogang that you helped pay the fee. How much is the total, I will give it to you now."

Xu Xiuwen did not refuse, "120 in total."

Mu Zhilan nodded, then touched her pocket for money.

But she touched several pockets but couldn't find any money.

This made Mu Zhilan increasingly anxious.

Xu Xiuwen said calmly: "Did you forget to bring money? It's okay. Just give it to me next time you see me."

After hearing Xu Xiuwen's words, Mu Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Xiuwen and Li Ke then left the ward.

Before the wards were closed, Xu Xiuwen vaguely heard Qiao Gang's words accusing Mu Zhilan.

"Why don't you bring any money with you when you go out? You are so embarrassing to me."

"I'm sorry, Xiaogang..."

The subsequent conversation between mother and son was inaudible.

"Teacher Xu, what's wrong with you?"

Li Ke's voice woke Xu Xiuwen up.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go."

After dinner, it was already past seven o'clock when we returned to Li Ke's house.

Li Ke made up the classes until nine o'clock, and then Xu Xiuwen left get out of class on time.

This time I didn't see Li Haimei's car downstairs.

Xu Xiuwen even deliberately searched for it, and indeed did not see Li Haimei.

This made Xu Xiuwen a little disappointed, but he also thought it was reasonable.

Silent all night.

the next morning.

Xu Xiuwen was lying on the bed and vaguely heard the doorbell ringing.

Who knocks on the door so early in the morning?

He casually put on a coat, then opened his sleepy eyes and walked to the entrance to open the door.

After the door opens.

There was a woman standing outside the door.

It's Mu Zhilan.

After seeing Mu Zhilan, Xu Xiuwen instantly sobered up a lot.

"How did you come?"

Just as Mu Zhilan was about to speak, Xu Xiuwen said again: "Come in first."

Mu Zhilan had no choice but to hold back her words again.

Xu Xiuwen brought a pair of slippers to Mu Zhilan.

These slippers are not those of Cheng Lu, Xiao Youran and An Shishi.

None of the three girls like others wearing their slippers.

What Xu Xiuwen gave to Mu Zhilan was Song Siyu's slippers.

Of course, Song Siyu also doesn't like others wearing her slippers.

But it doesn't matter whether she likes it or not.

After arriving in the living room, Xu Xiuwen looked Mu Zhilan up and down.

Her clothes are very simple, but her beautiful figure is hidden under the simple clothes.

Makes you want to find out.

"Boss Xu, you helped Xiaogang yesterday and paid the fee for Xiaogang. Thank you very much."

Xu Xiuwen found it interesting when he heard Mu Zhilan call him Boss Xu.

Maybe she felt that it was inappropriate to call him Xiao Xu, or Teacher Xu, or any other title, so she called him Boss Xu and called him "you".

As for Mu Zhilan, she knew his last name.

This is not surprising at all.

You should know it from Qiao Gang.

"Sister Mu, you are too polite. Yesterday was just a little effort, so you don't need to pay too much attention."

Mu Zhilan was flattered that Xu Xiuwen called her Sister Mu.

She was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said: "Xiao Gang has already told me that if you hadn't helped him, Boss Xu, Xiao Gang's injury would have been more serious, so I must thank you."

Xu Xiuwen smiled and changed the subject, "Sister Mu, are you thirsty? Let me get you a glass of water."

Mu Zhilan quickly waved her hand and said, "Boss Xu, no need..."

"It doesn't matter. Sit down. Don't stand all the time." Xu Xiuwen said with a smile, and then walked to the kitchen.

After pouring two glasses of water and returning to the living room, Xu Xiuwen handed one of the glasses to Mu Zhilan.

Mu Zhilan had already listened to his words and sat on the sofa. When she saw him handing her water, she immediately stood up again.

The whole person looked extremely nervous from head to toe.

Xu Xiuwen smiled, "Sister Mu, you don't have to be so nervous, I don't know how to eat people."

Mu Zhilan also knew that she was too nervous.

She looked a little embarrassed and said, "Boss Xu, you really know how to joke."

Mu Zhilan held the water glass in her hand and took a sip, but immediately put it down.

"Boss Xu, I brought yesterday's money."

Xu Xiuwen took a sip of water and asked, "You are here to pay back the money, right?"

Mu Zhilan said 'hmm'.

"You said you came here early in the morning just to pay back the money. It's just such a small amount of money. It doesn't matter if you don't pay."

Mu Zhilan shook her head and said: "No, you have already helped us, I can't take advantage of you anymore."

The woman in front of me is actually very mature physically, but her personality seems a bit stubborn.

Xu Xiuwen said helplessly: "Okay."

Mu Zhilan took out the 120 yuan she had prepared from her pocket and handed it over.

They are all paper tickets.

Xu Xiuwen took the money and put it on the coffee table.

Taking another sip of tea, Xu Xiuwen suddenly said: "Until now, I still find it unbelievable that you are Qiao Gang's mother."

"Boss Xu, I don't understand what you mean?" Mu Zhilan had a puzzled look on her face.

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, I mean you look so young, I really can't believe that your son is already so old."

Mu Zhilan understood what Xu Xiuwen meant.

Her face suddenly turned red, her hands clenched together involuntarily, and her toes also came together.

"Boss Xu, Qiao Gang is really my son."

"I know."

Xu Xiuwen saw Mu Zhilan's exaggerated reaction and realized that what he just said seemed inappropriate.

There seems to be a hint of provocation.

For fear of causing more misunderstandings, he quickly changed the subject, "Sister Mu, are you still working in a housekeeping company now?"

Mu Zhilan nodded and said, "Yes, Boss Xu."

"That's it."

Mu Zhilan suddenly said: "Boss Xu, I also want to thank you."

Xu Xiuwen was stunned, "Thank me for what?"

Mu Zhilan continued: "Actually, Xiaogang doesn't know that my job is to clean people's rooms. I never told him. Thank you for keeping it a secret for me yesterday."

"Why didn't you tell him? Is there something wrong with your job?"

Mu Zhilan said softly: "I'm afraid he thinks I've embarrassed him."

Xu Xiuwen smiled silently, "You make money with your own hands, what's there to be ashamed of? I think Xiaogang should understand you."

Mu Zhilan said 'hmm' again.

"How much money can you make in a month from your current job?"

Mu Zhilan replied: "2000 yuan."

"Two thousand yuan? That doesn't seem like a lot."

Mu Zhilan shook her head gently: "2000 yuan is already a lot. I have no education. If I do other jobs, I still can't earn 2 yuan."

2000 yuan was not a lot in Jinling in 2006, but it certainly could not be considered very low. After all, there would still be jobs worth to yuan in more than ten years. Xu Xiuwen remembered that the shoes on Qiao Gang's feet were very old, and couldn't help but ask, "What does Qiao Gang's father do?"

Mu Zhilan's face turned ugly after hearing Xu Xiuwen's words.

Xu Xiuwen realized that he might have asked something he shouldn't have asked, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

Mu Zhilan shook her head and said, "It's okay, Boss Xu."

After a pause, Mu Zhilan continued: "Xiao Gang's father has not worked for a long time."

"Ah? Why?" Xu Xiuwen was really curious and couldn't help but ask.

Mu Zhilan explained: "He hangs out and drinks all day long. There is no job for him."

Although it was just a few short sentences, Xu Xiuwen had already learned about Mu Zhilan's family situation.

Mu Zhilan's husband spends all day drinking and not working.

The children are still in school, and Mu Zhilan is responsible for all the family's expenses.

You can imagine how much burden and pressure this woman carries.

Xu Xiuwen remembered that Mu Zhilan went to the hospital yesterday without bringing any money.

It's possible that she didn't forget to bring the money, but that she didn't have any money to bring.

Maybe the 120 yuan she used to pay him back today was all pieced together.

Although there is no evidence to prove that Xu Xiuwen's guess is correct.

But that didn't stop him from feeling a little respect for the woman in front of him.

We chatted briefly for a few more words.

Mu Zhilan was ready to leave.

Xu Xiuwen stood up and sent her away.

Watching the door close little by little, Mu Zhilan's back disappeared little by little through the crack in the door.

Xu Xiuwen sighed quietly.

There are too many poor people in this world.

He couldn't help, and although he didn't have much contact with Mu Zhilan, with the limited contacts, he felt that Mu Zhilan was not the kind of woman who was willing to accept help from others for nothing.

To Xu Xiuwen, Mu Zhilan was just a passerby in his life.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the night of November 6th.

Xu Xiuwen received a call from Li Haimei at noon.

On the phone, Li Haimei informed him of the place and time of the dinner in the evening, and told him that someone would be sent to pick him up so that he could prepare in advance.

Xu Xiuwen thought that the advance was one hour in advance.

Unexpectedly, around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Haimei's driver drove to pick him up.

Xu Xiuwen was very puzzled.

After going downstairs.

Li Haimei's secretary Su Luoyi was already waiting by the car.

Xu Xiuwen got into the car but found that Li Haimei was not there.

Xu Xiuwen was confused and didn't know what kind of trouble Li Haimei was going to make.

As a result, Su Luoyi told him that Li Haimei asked her to accompany him to buy some clothes for dinner in the evening.

After hearing what Su Luoyi said, Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but said: "This woman Li Haimei is really speechless. She likes to make her own decisions too much."

After Xu Xiuwen finished speaking, the male driver in the driver's seat suddenly opened his eyes wide and secretly glanced at Xu Xiuwen through the rearview mirror.

The male driver was very surprised that Xu Xiuwen complained about Li Haimei's behavior in front of them.

Su Luoyi's expression did not change, and she always had a faint smile on her face.

Although Xu Xiuwen was a little unhappy, he would not vent his dissatisfaction and resentment on the two people in front of him.

One of them is the driver and the other is the secretary, both of them are obedient and do things as they are told.

They are just beating workers, so there is no need to embarrass them.

Xu Xiuwen sighed and said, "Okay, let's drive."

Su Luoyi still maintained a polite smile, "Mr. Xu, please sit tight."

"Old Zheng, you drive."

After hearing what Su Luoyi said, the driver named Lao Zheng started the car.

Lao Zheng drove to the busiest commercial street in Jinling.

After the car stopped, Lao Zheng stayed in the car while Su Luoyi accompanied Xu Xiuwen to buy clothes.

In the car before, Xu Xiuwen didn't have a chance to take a good look at Su Luoyi.

Now there is an opportunity.

Su Luoyi was wearing a secretary uniform, with the coat open, revealing the white shirt underneath.

The smooth shirt was held up by Su Luoyi's round chest, which was very attractive.

Her lower body was in a five-quarter-length short skirt that reached just above her knees, revealing most of her beautiful legs.

The reason why I say beautiful legs is because Su Luoyi's legs are well-proportioned and slender. There is no trace of fat on the calves. They are smooth and straight. The thighs are also firm and soft. The soft and crisp leg meat is sandwiched together without any gaps.

The most important thing is that the woman is wearing stockings, which are crystal clear and even have a hint of reflection in the sun.

There is no need to mention Su Luoyi's appearance. She is a woman with exquisite appearance.

The first time he met this woman, she left a deep impression on him.

This second meeting, the other party is still so beautiful and generous.

Xu Xiuwen purely admired Su Luoyi's beauty, without any selfish motives.

His current situation did not allow him to think more.

Su Luoyi has followed Li Haimei for so long and has seen all kinds of people.

Although Xu Xiuwen's gaze was naked and unabashed, it did not make her feel disgusted.

Because she was very sensitive to the fact that there was only appreciation in the other person's eyes, not lust.

This is different from the way many stinky men look at her.

Because of this, Su Luoyi felt a little fond of the boy in front of her.

Xu Xiuwen came to his senses and asked, "Where should I buy clothes next?"

Su Luoyi smiled and said: "Mr. Li (xx) asked me to accompany you and give you some ideas. It's up to you to decide where to buy."

"Okay." Xu Xiuwen didn't think much, turned and walked towards the nearby shopping malls and clothing stores.

Soon Xu Xiuwen knew why Li Haimei asked Su Luoyi to accompany him to buy clothes.

Although Su Luoyi looks young, he knows a lot.

During the next process of buying clothes, I gave a lot of suitable suggestions.

In the end, he bought three suits in total, each of which suited him perfectly.

As for the money to buy clothes, Xu Xiuwen still provided it.

This made Xu Xiuwen very speechless.

Because usually in TV dramas, when a domineering boss asks his secretary to take him shopping for clothes, the domineering boss pays.

Although Li Haimei is not a domineering president, she still has a secretary after all.

In the end, he was asked to pay for it himself.

When it comes out like this, it tastes wrong.

When he came out of the last clothing store, Xu Xiuwen was wearing a dark suit he just bought.

He was originally a clothes hanger, but after putting on a suit, his back was straight and he looked very energetic.

Su Luoyi had already said a lot of compliments, but when he saw the handsome and upright Xu Xiuwen, he couldn't help but praise him a few times.

I don’t know if secretaries are good at flattering, or if Su Luoyi is better at it.

Anyway, Xu Xiuwen was very happy to hear it.

Then I went to have my hair done simply.

By the time the two returned to the car, two hours had passed.

The dinner starts at 6 o'clock.

Su Luoyi told Xu Xiuwen to pick up Li Haimei now.

Lao Zheng drove the car downstairs to Li Haimei's house.

But I didn't see Li Hai Meiren.

After the car stopped, Su Luoyi quickly got out of the car and then went upstairs to pick up Li Haimei.

Xu Xiuwen sat quietly in the car and waited...

　Mr. Li = Li sz.

　　It would be great if everyone understands this.
