The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 3 Goodbye Scumbag
Tonight is Xu Lijuanman's birthday party, and it is also a celebration party for her admission to B University.

As the only "little princess" of the three generations of the Xu family, the Xu family specially hosted a banquet at the Seven Star Hotel Venice Crown Hotel in Beijing to entertain guests from all parties, so as to establish a very high starting point for Xu Lijuan to enter the social circle of celebrities in the capital.

On this day, from five o'clock in the afternoon, all kinds of famous cars drove to the entrance of the Venice Crown Hotel one after another. The reporters at the door frequently pressed the shutter, and one after another sensational headlines that would definitely attract attention and increase the sales of their newspapers and magazines by several percentage points appeared in their minds.

At seven o'clock, under the speech of the old man of Xu's family, the opening dance of Xu Lijuan and Lin Haocang, the fiancée couple, opened the prelude to the whole banquet.

The reason why they say they are prospective unmarried couples is because the Xu Lin family originally planned to announce the happy news of Xu Lijuan and Lin Haocang's engagement at this banquet, but Xu Lijuan suddenly changed her mind, and the Xu family who had always loved Xu Lijuan could only When Xu Lijuan suffered from temporary "marriage phobia" like those girls who are about to get married, she agreed without hesitation, but the Lin family wanted to object, but because Xu's family was also informed of the matter before the banquet started. He had to swallow the doubts in his heart, and in Lin Haocang's eyes, he only thought that Xu Lijuan had started to "work" again, so he didn't take this matter to heart.

As soon as the dance was over, Xu Lijuan immediately withdrew her hand. The speed was so fast that she could only lead Xu Lijuan to a remote place without a trace by dancing. A doubt appeared.

However, when Lin Haocang saw the indifference on Xu Lijuan's face, the trace of doubt in Lin Haocang's heart disappeared immediately.In his heart, he secretly cursed those villains who made irresponsible remarks in front of Xu Lijuan, and decided to turn around and let them try his own methods!
Lin Haocang smiled slightly, looking at Xu Lijuan with endless tenderness and pampering in his eyes, took out a small palm-sized box from his suit pocket, opened it, and inside was a green jade bracelet.

"What a beautiful jade bracelet." Xu Lijuan praised, and lightly twisted the corner of the white silk satin under the jade bracelet with her fingers, and quietly pulled it off the hair ornament after seeing the two of them, and held a small jade bracelet in her palm. Put the transparent water polo the size of a fingernail on the jade bracelet, then close the silk satin, and squeeze the transparent water polo casually, allowing the liquid inside to seep into the jade bracelet.

"As long as you like it." Lin Haocang smiled, and grabbed Xu Lijuan's left hand, intending to put the bracelet on Xu Lijuan himself.

Xu Lijuan, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly put her arms behind her back, and declined politely: "My makeup is not suitable for wearing jade bracelets today, thank you Brother Hao for your kindness."

It wasn't until this moment that Lin Haocang noticed that Xu Lijuan was wearing a light orange knee-length tutu skirt, which was dotted with crystals and pearls of the same color here and there. She was also wearing a set of pink crystal accessories. The overall makeup was indeed the same as his today This bracelet doesn't match.

Not only that, but the black hair that was casually tied into a ponytail in the past was also loosely pulled up, with only a few strands of hair hanging down beside the ears. A bit charming, against today's makeup, there is a touch of lust in the pureness, which only makes people think that Xu Lijuan is just a little yellow-haired girl, although she can't be dismissive of Xu Lijuan, but as long as Xu Lijuan Standing with Sun Manxue, one would feel that Sun Manxue was sufficiently feminine, and Lin Haocang, who admired Sun Manxue more than Xu Lijuan, couldn't help but be amazed.

As if Xu Lijuan hadn't noticed Lin Haocang's absent-mindedness, she looked back at the other party with a half-smile, and occasionally glanced aside inadvertently and slightly lowered her eyes, her face seemed calm, but in fact it was caused by her trembling eyelashes and tight eyes. These two points on her lips revealed that Sun Manxue, who had already stirred up a turbulent heart, sneered in her heart: Is this unbearable? !You know, in the previous life, shortly after her tragic death, Sun Manxue fell from heaven to hell as an abandoned child...

However, Lin Haocang is indeed the most valued eldest son of the Lin family in this generation. Soon, he came back to his senses, gave Sun Manxue a sneaky look, put the bracelet back into the box, and brought it to Xu Lijuan, smiling: "Sister Juan , I hope I can personally wear this jade bracelet for you tomorrow."

Sun Manxue, who deliberately picked out a light green knee-length cheongsam, felt sore, and her drooping eyes were full of resentment and jealousy towards Xu Lijuan. She never expected that Xu Lijuan didn't wear the cheongsam she specially gave her. A cheongsam!

"Lijuan, didn't we specifically agree to wear the same style of cheongsam? Why didn't you notify me when you suddenly changed your clothes..." Sun Manxue put her arms around Xu Lijuan's arm and complained softly: "It's not as good as you now Just go and change it, so that Mr. Lin can personally wear this jade bracelet for you in front of everyone."

"You don't know how much Mr. Lin put in a lot of effort to successfully photograph this beautiful jade bracelet, just to impress you at today's banquet..."

Xu Lijuan pushed Sun Manxue's arm away with a face full of displeasure, stepped back a few steps, and said, "The dress I wear is specially chosen by my mother, which represents my mother's love for me."

In her previous life, Xu Lijuan listened to Sun Manxue and wore a dark green cheongsam just to match the jade bracelet Lin Haocang bought, but forgot her own age and identity, and turned a young girl into a thirties Pensive Young Woman.Although the people present at the banquet did not show any sneering eyes due to various reasons, the overwhelming news that the Xu family's "little princess" could not dress up in the newspapers on the second day made Xu Lijuan completely reduced to the upper class. jokes.

After all, there are a few daughters of aristocratic families who will abandon the expensive and well-fitting dresses specially selected by their relatives at their birthday party, and instead choose the hand-sewn dresses from the so-called "girlfriends" that show their age, are heavy and do not fit at all. dress? !In her previous life, Sun Manxue relied on her infatuation with Lin Haocang and her stupidity to design her so carelessly that she couldn't even tell her suffering.

Sun Manxue took a step back, covering her chest with her right hand, her face full of injuries: "Lijuan, although that cheongsam is not worth much, it is the most expensive fabric and accessories that I personally went to the cloth store to buy, and then refer to yours. The most suitable dress for you is sewn stitch by stitch based on your temperament and figure. It’s fine if you don’t thank me, after all, this is what I am willing to do for you, but how can you say that about me..."

Lin Haocang frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Lijuan with displeasure: "Sister Juan, this is your fault. There is an old saying that is good - don't bully young people into poverty. Although Ms. Sun's family is not good, Ms. Sun has a Courageous, indomitable determination to fight hard. Who can be sure that one day in the future, Ms. Sun will not become an existence that you and I need to look up to?!"

"What's more, I have long heard that Ms. Sun has a female celebrity skill in embroidery that amazes everyone in the world. Every time she attends a banquet, she sews the dresses by herself, and the styles she designs have even won international fame. Master Allen’s praise, and sincerely invited her to continue her studies in the UK. The little dress she specially gave you represents her friendship, which is far from being explained by the phrase "the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy" Yes, how can you mock her like that?"

"Really?" Xu Lijuan looked at Lin Haocang, who had a righteous face, and then at Sun Manxue, who showed a miserable appearance of being bullied by finding fault, and smiled meaningfully: "I didn't expect that brother Cang knew Manxue so well." .”

After a pause, Xu Lijuan suddenly changed the subject again: "Man Xue and I are good friends, and we all say that friends should 'share joys and sorrows'. Since I don't need this jade bracelet for the time being, I'll pass it on to Man Xue. Would you mind?"

Xu Lijuan took out the jade bracelet and directly pulled Sun Manxue's arm. Regardless of Sun Manxue's struggle and shameful expression, she directly put the jade bracelet on Sun Manxue's left wrist, and took a few steps back. He tilted his head slightly to appreciate it.

"By the way, brother Cang, you are also the half-host of the banquet, so please greet Manxue for me." After saying that, before Lin Haocang and Sun Manxue could react, Xu Lijuan left, leaving her in a daze. Lin Haocang and Sun Manxue looked at each other, full of confusion and uneasiness at today's situation where Xu Lijuan played cards unreasonably.

However, Sun Manxue came back to her senses very quickly, and immediately found that Xu Lijuan, who was next to Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, was blending in the crowd like a fish in water, talking to those big figures she could only see on TV magazines, she couldn't help grinding her teeth , the jealousy in my heart grew rapidly like mushrooms after rain.

When Sun Manxue inadvertently looked back, she realized that Lin Haocang, who was originally standing beside her, had walked in front of her at some point, covering her sight completely, and staring blankly like a butterfly. When Xu Lijuan was scurrying around, at that moment, she only felt that the flames of jealousy in her chest seemed to have been splashed with several buckets of boiling oil, and the endless hatred and jealousy emerged from the deepest part of her heart, turning her beautiful His face was also burned and distorted.

Sun Manxue lowered her eyes hastily, her eyelashes blinking, covering all the viciousness and calculations in her eyes.

At this time, Lin Haocang also came back to his senses, raised his hand subconsciously, and raised the toe of his right foot...

Sun Manxue, who had been paying attention to Lin Haocang's expression, pursed her lips, and called softly in time: "Cang."

Lin Haocang tilted his head slightly, and asked with his eyes: "What's the matter?"

This is the first time Sun Manxue has seen Lin Haocang who is so indifferent and self-controlled.For a moment, she only felt that the apex of her heart was being pulled, and her hatred for Xu Lijuan deepened a bit.

"Let's talk."

Lin Hao glanced at Sun Manyue indifferently, then looked away again.

Sun Manxue was ruthless in her heart, but there was a smile on her face that seemed to know everything: "Lijuan's actions today made me understand the doubts that have been lingering in my mind for a long time. As a good partner, I thought, I should share these experiences with you.”

Lin Haocang stared at Sun Manyue steadfastly, and only when he realized that Sun Manxue had not lied to deceive him, he put away his too sharp eyes: "I'll see you at the old place tomorrow at 10 o'clock."

It wasn't until Lin Haocang's figure disappeared from sight that Sun Manxue gently stroked her chest, and slowly exhaled the pent-up breath that had been pent up in her chest. After careful sizing, she found that no one had noticed her in a remote corner at all. , then brought the cup in his hand close to his lips and sipped lightly, there was a hint of calculation in his slightly drooping eyes.

Xu Lijuan, who had a panoramic view of this scene, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, dug a spoonful of ice cream and put it in her mouth, her long and curly eyelashes covered all the emotions that appeared in her eyes.
