The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 16 On the Ways of Confession
As for Du Mengqi?
Xu Lijuan sighed secretly, wondering if Xu Ankang had wanted to interrogate her in private a long time ago, that's why he deliberately used a very ridiculous excuse to trick Du Mengqi out just now—what did you ask someone to find out when Lin Haocang started? She has an affair with Sun Manxue, and when did Sun Manxue have strange thoughts about Lin Haocang...

Look, with the nature of the Xu family, do you still need to inquire about something that has already been established? !
It's a pity that Du Mengqi, who has always been shrewd and capable, took what Xu Ankang said seriously, and really had to leave a few people behind, and went to the small study next to her to call her sisters to inquire about these things!
Of course, the only thing that made Xu Lijuan feel lucky was that with Du Mengqi's shrewdness, she must have figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing at this time. In a short period of time, Lin Haocang's reputation has been spread all over the street, and it is really not that difficult to find a woman from a well-matched family to be his wife in the future!

Or, she can add fuel to the flames and cause the Lin family's reputation to plummet...

Xu Lijuan, who lowered her eyes slightly, gave Xu Ankang the illusion that she was heartbroken because of this incident.

Therefore, Xu Ankang continued to stir up the topic just now, so that Xu Lijuan could come out of such emotions: "Girls, please don't be so rude."

Xu Lijuan thought about many situations, and made several plans in her mind to deal with it, but she never expected that Xu Ankang would say these words.

"Hmph, Dad Xu isn't angry at all, is he?! It's really..." The familiar machine voice of the system, swallowing the words "stupid host" in her throat, came back to Xu Lijuan's mind again, and successfully awakened her face. Xu Lijuan was stunned.

It was also at this time that Xu Lijuan noticed the smile in Xu Ankang's eyes, or should I say excited and proud?Xu Lijuan, who was still so single-minded and stupid as usual, would not be able to figure out why such emotions arose, but now Xu Lijuan, who was wearing a girl's skin but was actually an old fairy inside, immediately understood.

So, I saw Xu Lijuan running and jumping to Xu Ankang's side, holding Xu Ankang's arm, pouted and said: "Dad, Mom always said that I am very obedient and smart. Looking at the whole capital, no one's children have I'm so relieved, how can you say I'm rude?!"

Ever since Xiaojuan fell in love with that kid from the Lin family, she has never been as close to him as she is now...

Xu Ankang has been an official for many years and was born in a military family. He has long cultivated a majesty and solemnity, but just standing there casually gives people a feeling that he cannot be looked directly at.Xu Lijuan was also afraid of Xu Ankang because of this, she didn't even have the courage to face Xu Ankang alone, let alone acting like a baby with Xu Ankang, so that Xu Ankang was ridiculed by Du Mengqi more than once in private.Every time Xu Ankang came up with the idea of ​​changing the father and daughter meeting like natural enemies, he would have to give up all his temptations and ideas because of Xu Lijuan's more frightening actions each time.

Year after year, the expectations in Xu Ankang's heart have been gradually smoothed out by such cruel reality.However, at this very moment, that last hope that was about to die grew rapidly like mushrooms after rain.

A warm feeling surged in Xu Ankang's heart, he only felt the tip of his nose slightly astringent, he blinked subconsciously, and forced back the tears that had reached the corners of his eyes, but the unconscious smile on the corner of his mouth made his good feelings The mood is betrayed completely.

At this moment, Xu Ankang finally realized the feeling of "thousands of words can't be spoken smoothly", so he could only pat Xu Lijuan's arm lightly, and his words were also hoarse: "Xiaojuan..."

As soon as the words came out, Xu Ankang was stunned, coughed lightly in haste, and tried his best to suppress the raised corners of his mouth: "Today's matter..."

Xu Lijuan raised her chin and looked at Xu Ankang expectantly.

Under such gazes, Xu Ankang silently taught Xu Lijuan what he had learned about this matter, and swallowed Xu Lijuan's words to become more cautious in the future: Forget it, anyway, Xiaojuan is the youngest in the family, With the Xu family's current power, it is not a problem at all if they want to choose a suitable family for Xiaojuan again.If you want to continue to protect Xiaojuan, then there is no problem.And why bother Xiaojuan, who has long been determined, to face more complicated and dark hearts after being double-betrayed by her fiancé and good sister? !
"Xiaojuan, you are doing the right thing." Because of the psychological construction, even Xu Ankang himself felt that it should be so after this idealistic statement, and those who were born because of Xu Lijuan's strange behavior today The doubts that came out disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared.

"Dad..." Xu Lijuan murmured, leaning against Xu Ankang's side, her heart was also touched by it.

At this moment, many thoughts appeared in Xu Lijuan's mind, and they dissipated in a short period of time. Only the thought that appeared in the bottom of her heart suddenly became clear: system, tell me, I should remind Dad Pay attention to the Lin family?
"Isn't this nonsense!" The system responded quickly: "Isn't there a saying here-one chopstick is slightly broken, and ten chopsticks are tightly hugged into a ball..."

After a pause, the system reminded in a low voice: "Besides, with your own strength, it is not an easy task to complete the subversion of the Lin family in a short period of time..."

"As for the Xu family, can they wait until then?"

The last sentence exhausted Xu Lijuan's worries.

"Dad, I designed that thing."

Unexpectedly by Xu Lijuan, Xu Ankang just nodded, as if he felt that this was just a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning.

Xu Lijuan curled her lips: "Don't you ask me why?"

"Xiaojuan, you and Hao Cang have been in love for more than ten years. Now that you suddenly make such a decision, it must be that child Hao Cang who has betrayed your love." Xu Ankang touched Xu Lijuan's head, his face Her smile became lighter, and she was full of irresolvable worries—why did Xu Lijuan's temperament change so much overnight?You know, in the past, if Xu Lijuan found out about such things, she would have already started arguing regardless, but she would not save Lin Haocang and the Lin family any face...

"Dad, I had a dream..." In Xu Lijuan's slow narration, a shocking conspiracy hidden behind layers of fog was slowly revealed, which only made Xu Ankang's face change drastically, and his brows became even more frowning. The word ", the back of the hand that was casually placed on the back of the chair exposed horrible veins.

Xu Lijuan showed a wry smile, "Dad, I also know that such a dream alone can't explain anything at all. However, as soon as I think that the Lin family is actually a poisonous beast that has been dormant for nearly a hundred years, I can't help but make a test... ..."

Xu Ankang's brows not only failed to relax, but instead frowned even tighter, and even the expression on his face became more serious: "Xiaojuan, tell Dad honestly, do you still love Haocang?"

"Ah?" Xu Lijuan never expected that Xu Ankang would ask her this question at this time? !However, soon, Xu Lijuan understood why Xu Ankang asked the question, so she chuckled lightly: "Dad, I was young before, and I couldn't tell what love is at all, but it's better to treat Lin Haocang as a person." little buddies."

Look, that's true!
The corners of Xu Ankang's mouth twitched, and when he was about to speak out, Xu Lijuan added with a smile: "Dad, it's not like you don't know that I am more nostalgic, and even if the things I have are not very valuable, I will Keep it carefully and hide it."

"Boom!"

This time, Xu Ankang could no longer hold back and snapped Xu Lijuan's fingers, and met Xu Lijuan's angry eyes mixed with grievance, and said, "Just tell me these things, don't talk to your mother and you." speak in front of a brother."
