Liu Er Bao’s homeowner Song Xi has met a few times, to be honest, the impression is not very good.
She frowned and touched Lin Muyan's shoulder, "Why don't we go up and take a look too?"
Lin Muyan also had this intention, and with Song Xi, found a relatively safe parking spot and headed in the direction Liu Er Bao had left.
When the two of them went upstairs, they saw Liu Er Bao gathering up a pile of clothes that had been scattered on the floor, some of which seemed to have been stepped on and were damp with an unknown substance. Lin Muyan was extremely protective of her own people and couldn't stand to see them being wronged. She immediately stopped Liu Er Bao from picking up the clothes and pulled her up, expressing her frustration at the actions of the Li family.
Liu Er Bao The area around the eyes is red, "My eyes have been like this since I arrived, the door lock has been changed, I can't get in."
"Then why didn't you call us!"
Even the usually good-tempered Song Xi was now annoyed.
Liu Er Bao lowered her head and remained silent.
Among the group, she had always been the most self-deprecating.
She didn't have the clear-cut love and hate of Lin Muyan, nor the cleverness of Song Xi.
She is just a poor worker who barely graduated and is struggling to get by. The only thing she used to be proud of was having a boyfriend, but now even the last bit of her dignity has been ruthlessly torn apart by Li Li. Lin Muyan held her and said, "You, you're just a little fool. You let people bully you and still worry about us. Are you silly? Come on, let's go find your landlord. He must know about the lock being changed on the house you rented."
"Sister Yan……"
Liu Er Bao choked as he called her, and Lin Muyan patted his head.
"Song Xi, do you remember which floor their landlord lives on?"
Song Xi nodded and let Lin Muyan lead the way. As for the scattered luggage, except for a few essentials, Lin Muyan stuffed the rest into the trash can, blocking the entrance of the shared rental house.
"What? You want to terminate the lease? Impossible. I haven't held you accountable, and it's already good enough. You messed up my house like that, and I didn't ask you to compensate me, which is already giving you face. You still want me to give you money? No way!"
The landlord lives on the second floor. When Liu Er Bao was beaten, he came once but left without showing any concern. This time, he was even more unreasonable, pushing them out forcefully.
"Er Bao, get your rental contract and the injury report from the police station," Lin Muyan said, standing in front of Liu Er Bao with a fierce look in her beautiful eyes, resembling the ruthless female antagonist in a TV drama, which made the landlord hesitate.
He turned his head away, but his mouth kept going, "Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave. It's because of your mess that my property value has dropped. If it weren't for the Li family, I wouldn't be willing to continue renting to you. Don't bother me about the rent. The contract is signed, and I have to spend money to redecorate."
"You didn't say that when we signed the contract."
Lin Muyan quickly scanned the rental contract, wanting to argue further, but the landlord suddenly pushed him hard and slammed the door shut.
With a bang, the flying dust slapped Lin Muyan in the face.
"This is outrageous! Open the door! Give me back the rent!"
Lin Muyan pounded on the door, but was stopped by Liu Er Bao who said, "Maybe... let it go."
Liu Er Bao is also unwilling, but she has no way now. After all, she was at fault first, and the fact is that the things were indeed damaged first.
"Just consider it as being unlucky and bitten by a dog, forget it."
Seeing her friend so depressed, Lin Muyan felt that there was no point in insisting anymore.
She and Song Xi locked eyes for a moment, then reluctantly withdrew her hand from knocking on the door. Looking at the clothes in Liu Er Bao's hands, she tapped her index finger on the phone. Song Xi still had classes to attend, so they bid farewell for the time being.
Liu Er Bao has very few personal clothes left, so Lin Muyan took her to the supermarket to buy some, and then brought her back home.
While Liu Er Bao was taking a shower, Lin Muyan noticed a friend request on WeChat with the same profile picture as Apprentice.
Without asking why it took so long for the other person to add her, Lin Muyan simply agreed and then transferred the medical expenses.
Xiao Chen has been restless for the past few days due to the upcoming clothing exhibition. Despite this, he has been concerned about Lin Muyan's situation and reports to the hospital every day to check on it. The director personally edited a text message with a fitting photo, briefly satisfying Xiao Chen's recent dissatisfaction. "Wow! Your Mumu has messaged you!"
Wen Zimo was playing with his dog while holding a toothpick in his mouth, when he heard a "ding" sound. Excitedly, he called out to Xiao Chen. Seeing his brother's calm face, but quick hand grabbing the phone, Wen Zimo intentionally sighed at the two puppies. "Ah, poor kids, you'd better stick with me, your good brother. It looks like your dad is about to abandon you and run into the arms of your new mom."
Xiao Chen's ears twitched, calling out to Nuo Er, and then saw Nuo Er orderly training and baring his teeth as he pounced on Wen Zimo, his broad tongue vigorously licking his face.
Wiping off the saliva from his face, Wen Zimo chose to remain silent.
Lin Muyan's style was too direct, and seeing no red envelope transfer, Xiao Chen's bright eyes dimmed momentarily with a hint of annoyance.
"We have gone through hardships together, so at least introduce yourself."
He sent it with suppressed anger.
A few minutes later, he received a reply on WeChat, "I appreciate your help, but I don't plan to continue this, let's unfriend each other."
"I live right above you, can we talk?"
Xiao Chen quickly finished writing and clicked send, but the interface displayed a message prompting to add as a friend.
Next to the message he sent, the dialogue box had a bright red exclamation mark.
He kicked the innocent Wen Zimo in anger.
"Bro! I didn't offend you!"
Wen Zimo hugged the dog's head in distress, staring at the furious Xiao Chen, afraid that he would kick him again.
"When are you moving out?"
Xiao Chen was feeling stifled and couldn't help but tease his brother, scaring Wen Zimo into quickly trying to please him, "I'm not leaving. If Old Man Wen finds out I skipped school and came back, he'll skin me alive. It's that girl Mumu, right? I've been through a lot, a true wanderer among wanderers, a master among masters. I'll give you some advice, I guarantee you'll win her over in less than a week!"
Wen Zimo promised with a pat on his chest, and seeing Xiao Chen glaring at him, he grinned sheepishly.
Recently, whenever Lin Muyan returns home, she always sees Liu Er Bao sneakily glancing at her with a strange expression, which puzzles her. She is straightforward and especially can't stand it when people around her are hiding something from her, so she directly confronted Liu Er Bao. "You've been acting strange lately. Is someone from the Li family bothering you again?"
She remembered the police station was still handling that case, and Li Li hasn't been released yet.
"It's nothing, I made tomato beef stew, it's time to stir the pot."
Liu Er Bao tried to escape from Lin Muyan's armpit, but Lin Muyan saw through it at a glance, crossed her hands, and held her in her arms, teasingly lifting Liu Er Bao's soft chin.
"Speak, what's the matter."
Squinting slightly, the domineering aura of Lin Muyan, the CEO, made Liu Er Bao burst into laughter. After being ground a few times, she had no choice but to honestly present the tray.
"Every day these past few days, there have been people delivering packages at your doorstep," she opened the upper refrigerator door, "and they've all been paid for by someone. Is someone pursuing you? Otherwise, why would they send so much delicious food for no reason?"
"I guess this person really doesn't know how to pursue someone. Sending food is one thing, but they even sent sanitary pads," Liu Er Bao said, blushing, as she remembered opening the black bag and finding almost half a year's worth of daily necessities. She looked at Lin Muyan with increasing pity in her eyes.
Lin Muyan's mouth twitched, and after a pause, she finally found her voice.
"I'm going to the guard room. Don't bother with any deliveries in the future."
...
The next day, in the office of Chief Designer.
"Master, it's been a long time since I've seen you in such a good mood." Cheng Young carefully observed Xiao Chen's calm face and said with great certainty. The other disciples nearby were puzzled when they heard this, looking at Xiao Chen's cold expression and then at Cheng Young's confident look, wondering how she could tell.
Xiao Chen compared the two design drawings in his hand, pointed at one of them, and fiercely scolded the creator. Then he looked at Cheng Young and simply said "Hmm." This left everyone else completely dumbfounded. Even the student who was scolded almost forgot to feel upset, and stood there in a daze, making Designer Xiao feel even better after scolding him.
The homework brought by the apprentices was all thoroughly inspected before Xiao Chen allowed them to take it back for revisions. Cheng Young also took a design draft that needed minor adjustments, but after hesitating for a moment, she came back. Xiao Chen was very focused on his phone, but when he heard footsteps, he turned his head to look at her, his eyes indicating something.
Cheng Young felt a tightness in her chest. She had been by Xiao Chen's side for over five years and had seen many different sides of him, but the faint yet lively expression he wore now was something she had never seen before.
A woman's intuition told her that someone had influenced him.
"Master," she called softly to Xiao Chen, as she always did, "I might need more time with the draft, and there's also an interview invitation from Design that has been postponed twice already. Should we postpone it again this time?"
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, "Tell them that I accept the invitation, but the interview time and format should be determined by me."
"Okay," Cheng Young responded, still hesitating and seeming to have something to say.
Xiao Chen has always had a good impression of Cheng Young, his apprentice, despite being from a wealthy family, she is willing to learn, work hard, and has talent, and he is very willing to mentor her.
"Ask whatever you want, beating around the bush isn't like you."
Cheng Young looked deeply at him, "Have you met someone you like?"
Xiao Chen's reaction immediately made her realize that she was right, and her heart sank even further.
"What kind of girl is she? Master, I've been with you for so many years and I've never seen anyone make you feel moved. Ah Ying is curious." She coquettishly wanted to inquire about the news, but a hint of coldness gradually seeped out of Xiao Chen's dark eyes. "You should know that I don't like people prying into my private affairs."
