Mi Lai arrived at the appointed restaurant, and Charlene happened to have just arrived.
The two of them smiled and walked into the restaurant together and chose a seat to sit down and order.
Charlene picked the menu and asked casually, "Mi Lai, I haven't heard you mention Lu Tao for a long time. How is he doing lately?"
"Hey, why are you mentioning him? I heard from my dad that he is doing well in the company, but I don't know the details."
Mi Lai chose a few dishes and handed the menu back to the waiter. Charlene happened to have almost made her selections. The waiter put away the menu, brought tea to the two of them and went down to prepare the dishes.
Charlene poured a cup of hot tea for Mi Lai and said, "I've never heard you mention your breakup with Lu Tao. Why don't you tell me about it?"
Hearing Xia Lin mention this matter, Mi Lai's delicate body trembled, and she glanced at Xia Lin and said: "I said Xia Lin, something is wrong with you today. Why do you always mention Lu Tao? Why don't you talk about Ye Haoran!"
Charlene shook her head: "What does he have to say? A child pretending to be mature can't say anything."
She made an appointment with Mi Lai today, without taking Yang Xiaoyun with her, just to find out about Lu Tao.
Ever since she and Ye Haoran complained about the fact that Lu Tao was stuck in a house and wanted to date her, Ye Haoran didn't have much reaction.
If it wasn't as fierce as ever, she almost thought Ye Haoran had had enough for her.
After waiting for two days and nothing happened, Charlene couldn't help but decided to find out about the situation from Mi Lai. It didn't necessarily mean what happened to Lu Tao. Even if she didn't have those few houses, she, Charlene, was still living well.
It's just that having some effective information can make her feel more relaxed.
Mi Lai was silent for a moment before speaking: "I used to think that Lu Tao was the person I was looking for in this life, but only after experiencing something can you see through a person's essence. Before the experience, you can only see the advantages. Only after being hit. Only then will you understand what his shortcomings are.”
Taking a sip of the hot tea in the cup, he lowered his head and continued: "It was only later that I discovered that Lu Tao was not as good as I thought. He was even a bit unsightly. He was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, easily confused, and also afraid of power. An ordinary person, and then some misunderstandings occurred, and he didn’t contact me again. Since he didn’t want to contact me, why did he have to lick his face and get in touch with me.”
Charlene listened to Mi Lai's story and tried to put it on Ye Haoran, but found that she couldn't get it in because Ye Haoran had never experienced a blow.
He is calm and calm, can always detect something in advance, and can find solutions to problems from the subtleties. If he has shortcomings... he has some relatives who don't recognize him when he is angry. This is something she has experienced personally.
She just said a few angry words, which may have touched Ye Haoran's pain points and almost killed her.
I can't help but shudder just thinking about it.
Xia Lin was just thinking in her heart and did not interrupt Mi Lai. She only heard Mi Lai continue to say: "Xu Zhisen is Lu Tao's biological father, a rich man who returned to China. Lu Tao often talked about Xu Zhisen. Only then did I realize that Lu Tao likes money and high status very much, which makes me wonder whether Lu Tao likes me or my family's money."
After saying this, Mi Lai fell silent.
She didn't know what Lu Tao was really thinking, but Ye Haoran was definitely not doing it because of money, Ye Haoran was doing it because of his hobby.
Compared to Mi Lixiong, Ye Haoran may not have that much money, but he is definitely not short of money, and Ye Haoran is very young. It is really unclear who will have more money in the future.
And Ye Haoran is very skillful. Even after using force for the first time, Ye Haoran can comfort her so that she can't hate her anymore.
Seeing that Mi Lai was silent, Xia Lin said after thinking about it: "Mi Lai, don't be angry if I tell you. You know that I am in charge of Ye Haoran's real estate company. I wanted to take over some of your houses before, but the salesman ran away on his own. We went to talk, and the result was..."
Mi Lai laughed, noticed Xia Lin's hesitation and said proactively: "It must have something to do with Lu Tao, just say it. Lu Tao and I are just strangers now."
"Yeah!" This idea is dangerous."
Mi Lai understood what the danger Charlene mentioned was and where it came from. It had nothing to do with her, but since Charlene asked, Mi Lai couldn't help but say nothing.
"I went back and talked to my dad about the house, and there was basically no problem. But on your side, didn't you tell Ye Haoran?"
Charlene's expression turned bitter: "I told you, but he didn't show any sign at all."
Mi Lai knew a little more than Xia Lin, so he comforted Xia Lin and said, "I don't think you should be anxious. Maybe the time has not come yet. If there is a suitable opportunity, with Ye Haoran's last time doing things, he shouldn't treat it as invisible." of."
Mi Lai also smiled bitterly in his heart: Sister, as long as you mention Lu Tao in front of him once, I will suffer for you. I hope I will mention that name less in the future.
"Then let's wait and see."
After Charlene finished speaking, the two of them changed the topic in unison. All the dishes they ordered were brought out, and they chatted while eating, restoring the atmosphere between good sisters.
Ye Haoran just came home and sneezed several times in a row.
He rubbed his nose and opened the door.
"Mom Liu, do you still have food?"
Ma Liu, who was brushing the horse spoon, turned around and asked, "It's so late and you haven't eaten yet. Let me just stir-fry some vegetables and make some soup for you."
Ye Haoran threw away his clothes and nodded: "As long as you have something to eat, I'm busy with other things and haven't had time to eat yet."
"Wait a moment, it will be quick."
Mother Liu responded and quickly started preparing the food.
Although the food cooked by Lulu was edible, it was really not delicious. Ye Haoran thought to himself, I already have this condition, why should I treat myself harshly?
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
In the past month, Lulu has found a job as a waiter in a hotel. She had thought very well before going there. She wanted to learn how to cook, improve her dark cuisine, and make money easily. It was like killing two birds with one stone.
I thought it was a good idea, but after I went there I found that was not the case at all.
Cooking in a restaurant is very different from cooking at home. She has never seen many of the seasonings before, and the work is extremely tiring. She wakes up early and stays late, and the workload is heavy.
It’s okay to work more, but the problem is that the salary is still low.
The thousand yuan that Ye Haoran left for her was almost spent, but just after she got her salary, she discovered that the salary was only a few hundred yuan!
What can a few hundred dollars be enough for?
Just enough to pay the property fee. After paying the property fee, she can eat and drink whatever she wants! What to do about the water and electricity bills? There are still so many things I haven’t bought at home, let alone next month’s heating bill.
Holding the salary in her hand, Lulu suddenly wanted to cry. She had worked hard for a month and could not afford a Western meal. The hotel was only enough for one night, and it was too difficult to earn money.
Suddenly, there were endless grievances in my heart that I wanted to tell Ye Haoran, but I didn't know where to start.
Lulu thought that with her current job, she would never be able to live the kind of life that Ye Haoran brought her. She was longing for it but had a bleak future.
As soon as she wiped away her tears, several more guests came into the restaurant. Lulu quickly stood up and said, "Hello, welcome...it's you, Huazi."
Yes, it was Hua Zi who came in, as well as Xiang Nan and Lu Tao.
Just a few days ago, Huazi sold a car here, and just in time for lunch, he came here to eat, and happened to meet Lulu who was working here.
So people ran here every few days.
Huazi thought that Lulu, like Mi Lai, came from a wealthy family, but he didn't expect that like him, they were ordinary people who needed to work to make money. However, even so, Huazi was still prepared to get in touch with Lulu.
Although Lulu came from the countryside, her horizons have been improved, thanks to Ye Haoran.
People like Hua Zi are somewhat looked down upon by Lulu now, but there is still no problem in being ordinary friends.
"What would you like to eat today?"
Hua Zi smiled and said sideways: "Let me introduce to you my two good buddies first. This is Lu Tao and this is Xiang Nan."
Then he turned to Lu Tao and Xiang Nan and said, "She is
Lulu, whom I often tell you about. "
Nodding in agreement and saying "Hello", Hua Zi didn't even look at the menu and started ordering directly: "Braised pork, shredded pork with Beijing sauce, stir-fried lamb with green onions, and stir-fried kidneys, last one A box of beer, let’s have a good drink today.”
Hearing Hua Zi say this, Lu Lu's face turned bitter.
A box of beer. If she drinks endlessly, she doesn't know when she will get off work.
"Okay, you guys sit down and wait for a while."
Lulu turned around to place the order without saying too much nonsense. She had no place to express the pain of beating the workers.
After quickly placing the order, Lulu leaned aside and waited boredly for the food to be served.
Hua Zi leaned over at this time: "There are not many guests anyway. Do you want to have a drink together later?"
"Forget it, I..."
Before Lulu could finish her words, the phone rang, interrupting her further words.
"Hua Zi, please wait a moment."
Picking up the phone, Lulu glanced at the number, and her face that looked like a bitter gourd just now was filled with joy.
"Hey! Brother-in-law!"
Ye Haoran's voice reached Lulu through the phone: "Where are you, Lulu? Why haven't you gone home so late? Mother Liu made a lot of seafood. I brought it to you to try, but it turned out that it was locked." Close the door."
Lulu didn't even know what seafood tasted like, but she didn't receive the good surprise. She smiled bitterly and said, "Brother-in-law, I'm still at work, and I don't know when I can get off work."
"I see, I just have a key. I've put the seafood in the restaurant for you. When you come back, you can clean it up before you eat."
Lulu asked hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, don't wait for me. How about I ask for leave and go back."
Even if Ye Haoran didn't call, Lulu still wanted to find Ye Haoran. With so many fees waiting for her to pay, she couldn't find anyone else to help except Ye Haoran.
"Asking for leave? Isn't that good?"
"It's okay, it's okay, brother-in-law, just wait for me!"
After hanging up the phone, Lulu found that Huazi was still there. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Huazi. My brother-in-law sent me seafood and asked me to go back. You drink slowly. I'll go back first." .”
Quickly taking off her apron, Lulu hurriedly found her boss to ask for leave, leaving Hua Zi behind.
"Your brother-in-law is a bit annoying!" Hua Zi said to himself, turned around and returned to the dining table, ready to have a drink with his two good buddies.
