The person who came was Shao Xiuye, Lin Lan's ex-boyfriend who had been dumped for more than half a year.
After being played by Lin Lan's meticulous planning, his good days came to an end soon. How could the arrogant and arrogant Bai Fumei bear that? She dumped him within a few days, and asked her father to find an excuse to transfer him from the headquarters to a branch in another city. The environment was better than Lin Lin. Lan was even worse when they were together, and the benefits were not comparable to those of the head office.
Shao Xiuye, who was accustomed to the beautiful and respectable days behind Miss Qianjin, was still thinking about being the son-in-law of the CEO of a listed company. Of course, he couldn't accept the gap behind him.
But who can be a good person who knows he has a girlfriend and deliberately robs him
Shao Xiuye's family conditions were very ordinary, and it was already very difficult for him to support him after college. How could such a background be favored by that domineering daughter. From the very beginning, I looked at him when he was good-looking, and gave him more eyes, and the idea was to grab it for fun. No matter whether Lin Lan broke up with him or not, his ending is actually the same, sooner or later.
Of course Shao Xiuye would not admit it. In those days when he was cheating on both sides, he thought it was his superb methods, who captured the hearts of two women by himself.
When Lin Lan found out the truth, she revealed that the wealthy family kicked him, and later blocked all contact information and went overseas. Although he regretted it to the point of his bowels, after all, he really liked her before taking the initiative to pursue her, but this regret did not prevent him from continuing to look for Bai Fumei. He didn't seize the opportunity of Lin Lan, and the company's daughter could no longer run away.
As a result of his stalking, the domineering daughter completely turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, and people arranged for him to be directly expelled from the company on the charge of leaking trade secrets. Shao Xiuye, who is carrying this stigma, is completely impossible to find a better company in that industry to apply for a job. His career that has been improving after a few years of hard work has been completely ruined. seniority.
Fortunately, others are still young, and there is still time and opportunity to work hard again.
After this encounter, most people probably have two mentalities. One is to feel remorse after being beaten, and to be a good person in the future, no longer thinking about taking shortcuts.
Shao Xiuye was the latter type. He had no choice but to change careers, but he was completely out of touch with that Bai Fumei, but he didn't stop him from cursing her at all. He felt that the woman took the initiative to be the mistress and ruined his relationship with Lin Lan, otherwise he would have been by now. The son-in-law of a rich overseas man needs to start working hard as a junior employee like he is now, and he has abandoned the professional knowledge he has learned for so many years to re-explore in an unfamiliar field, and humble himself as a grandson. He didn't even think about the fact that he deliberately flirted with the other party and ended up hanging out together, and at the same time, he also avoided the reason why he knew that he had betrayed Lin Lan first, so he never scolded Lin Lan because he was wrong.
But when he inadvertently saw a gimmick video on the Internet, where he discovered that Lin Lan, who was supposed to be the daughter of a wealthy family overseas, was just the owner of an Internet celebrity cat cafe, his previous thoughts completely changed. .
He pushed all the mistakes and anger on Lin Lan, who pretended to be a wealthy family.
It was the woman Lin Lan who framed him to become like this, everything was her fault!
Shao Xiuye was so angry that he wanted to go to this woman to settle accounts on the spot, but he was afraid that he would be slapped in the face and made a mistake, so he learned to be smart and started asking someone to inquire about the situation on the Xicheng side, and he was now making trouble for various things at work. I was so overwhelmed that it took so long to buy a ticket and rush over by car.
Looking for the address, he found this store, and the moment he saw the face of his ex-girlfriend, Shao Xiuye scolded him out of his mouth, following his resentment.
"Lin Lan, you slut hurt me badly!"
Whoops!
The moment he scolded him, everyone in the store stood up and stared at him badly.
When Shao Xiuye saw that almost all of the people here were wearing the uniform aprons in the store, the aura that had just spewed out of resentment suddenly fell short, and he subconsciously took a step back.
His retreat made Lin Lan's anger at the sight of the scumbag quenched a lot, and her icy face softened to a state of expressionless expression.
"If you scold people when you meet them, your cultivation has gone backwards a lot, Shao Xiuye, you are no longer worthy of the name your parents gave you." Manager Lin blocked the door, putting his hands around his chest so he could relax, "It took so long to find out. It's a bureau, and the response is quite slow."
"You...!" Shao Xiuye's face showed anger again. After such a long time, this woman was still like this. This gesture reminded him of the unbearable scene in the autumn square. Even anger and ridicule did not contain a dirty word. , easily let them sweep the floor.
When the conflict broke out again this time, the first three employees and Cheng Fengyang had already approached, especially Cheng Fengyang. He asked "Lanlan, who is this person?" while trying to block Lin Lan directly.
- But he was pulled by the manager Lin, and he stayed behind.
"I can handle an unimportant person myself." Lin Lan has never had the habit of pushing her own affairs to others, not to mention her own bad past, after blocking Cheng Fengyang without looking back, She continued to look at Shao Xiuye at the door lightly, "You should have touched me after seeing the news on the Internet this time, right? So, you want to find me to figure out that you and your little three were in public. A face-to-face account?"
She admitted it frankly, and bluntly asked her why, which made Shao Xiuye, who had been prepared to scold and curse, blushed and didn't know how to speak.
The word "Xiao San" suddenly made Tang Xiaoya and other three employees look stunned and shocked, but Cheng Fengyang suddenly understood the identity of this man: "Are you the ex who betrayed Lanlan and cheated on him?"
This extremely informative addition made the first three young people immediately understand, and the look in Shao Xiuye's eyes was wrong, full of contempt.
"Bah! Scumbag!" Tang Xiaoya scolded directly, "I found a mistress first and dared to touch my ex-girlfriend's house to curse, you are really thick-skinned! No, you are shameless and skinless, right? Who can do it for normal people? Come out like this!"
"That is to say, why did you have the face to come here?" Wang Jiayi couldn't help but agree, she couldn't believe that there was such a strange thing in the world, "Lanlan is so good, yet you still pedal two boats behind her back. "You are too greedy and disgusting, aren't you?"
Song Xinmin didn't say a word, just took two steps forward without a trace. He also encountered some emotional disputes along the way. It was not uncommon for men and women to fight for this, and he felt that it was necessary to take precautions.
The scolding from the employees made Shao Xiuye's face turn red again, and some regrets came to him so impulsively, but when the corner of his eye touched Cheng Fengyang, who had been watching Lin Lan nervously, the regret was in the corners of his eyes. The sudden anger was forgotten.
He remembered the scene where Lin Lan sat face to face with this man chatting and laughing when he pushed the door open. He couldn't hold back the anger of someone wearing a green hat.
Even after breaking up, Shao Xiuye still regarded Lin Lan as his own woman in his subconscious mind. Now that he saw a man standing beside her, he couldn't take his breath away.
He just sneered and said, "You really can do it, Lin Lan. It's been less than a year since we broke up and found another one. You are so lonely, can't you lack a man for a moment?"
This humiliating remark really annoyed Tang Xiaoya and the others. At that moment, someone turned around and took a tool like a mop to beat them out, but was stopped by the undisturbed manager Lin raising his hand. .
The other party smiled lightly and retorted: "You can't compare to you, Shao Xiuye, I've only been in a long-distance relationship for three months, so I've solved the loneliness with other women. Why, then Miss Jiang is willing to be a mistress even if she knows you have a girlfriend. Are you, like me, unwilling to live with you?"
"Wow!" This revelation about the ex-boyfriend's little three girls once again made the young people at the scene explode. The eldest lady covered her mouth in surprise, looking unacceptable, "Knowing that someone else has a target and deliberately grabbing it, what kind of disgusting person is this?"
"Scumbags and scumbags, it really is a pair." Tang Xiaoya immediately commented.
The ridicule failed, and instead, a layer of skin was peeled off. At this time, Shao Xiuye's face had turned red to the color of pig liver. However, Lin Lan didn't intend to end it. He took the initiative to come over to find humiliation. It's no wonder that she raised her foot to step on it and continued to make up for it with her lips bent.
"Looking at the way you look now, you must have been dumped by that Miss Jiang?" Lin Lan tutted her ex-boyfriend's simple dress, "Oh, don't even try to flatter Bai Fumei with your face and dignity behind my back. , As a result, the listed company's son-in-law was not made, and he has become even more desolate. Now you have come to me to vent your anger, Shao Xiuye, are you sure you are a man?"
The other party gritted his teeth, but Lin Lan didn't give him a chance to speak.
"You must be scolding me for playing tricks on you in your heart, and you shamelessly feel that all this is my fault, right? Don't say it's not the case, even if it's true, you're asking for it, aren't you?"
"Did I instigate you to cheat at the beginning? Or did I cause you to be like this? You are completely self-inflicted from the beginning to the end. Even if you don't want to admit it and put the blame on me, the truth is still the same."
"Finally, before you came here, you should have asked about my family background, right?" Lin Lan put the broken hair on her temples behind her ears, and said in a condescending voice, "Yes, even if my family background is not as good as that of Miss Jiang, the same is true. You don’t know how much higher than you. Shao Xiuye, I will say something today, you are not worthy of me, no matter your family background, character, or even work ability, you are not like me.”
Lin Lan's salary had already exceeded Shao Xiuye's when she was working in Modu, and her salary would double when she was promoted. This was also the biggest reason why she dared to discuss with him about buying a house in Modu. Shao Xiuye also knew about this, so when their company was transferring personnel, he chose to leave her and go to the head office without hesitation.
It is true that this is a necessary plan for career and future. But in a sense, his choice without hesitation actually showed that he didn't care much about Lin Lan deep down in his heart. Only after three months of the long-distance relationship came the follow-up of the mistress incident. In fact, everything happened early. There are omens.
For this kind of person, Lin Lan is not polite at all.
And Shao Xiuye, who was so provoked by her, had red eyes and raised his hand to hit someone. Song Xinmin and Cheng Fengyang, two big men who had been staring at him, immediately blocked him.
"What are you doing! You just want to beat people!"
"I'm looking for a mistress behind my girlfriend's back. It's been more than half a year since we broke up, but I still dare to look back and ask for trouble. I'm the same man, and I'm so embarrassed by you!"
They stood in front of them, and Tang Xiaoya and Wang Jiayi, who were holding mops and brooms in the back, were also angry. They even wanted to hit someone when they did something wrong. What a rude man!
"You still want to hit me?" Lin Lan, who was being guarded by the crowd, raised her brows and raised her voice, "I was very kind when I didn't find a group of people to beat you, but now you are still If you dare to come to the door, don't blame me for peeling your skin off layer by layer. Shao Xiuye, you are sorry for me from beginning to end, you are not qualified to stand here and scold me."
"Lin Lan..."
"Get out! If you don't get out, I'll call the police!" She didn't want to give the man a chance to speak harshly, so she interrupted sharply, "I think you're dirtying my shop by standing here!"
When Lin Lan said the end, she was already angry, and it was not only humans who felt her emotions, but also a group of cats that unknowingly surrounded her.
When Wang Jiayi and others were just about to yell and scold them, some cats led by Mo Mo had already run to the front through their legs, hunched over and blasted Mao, making a threatening sound of purring or breathing towards Shaoxiuye.
(Get out! Lan Lan told you to get out!)
(We don't welcome you guys who are hated by Lan Lan!)
(Get out of our turf!)
(I remember your smell, next time I dare to scratch you!)
This scene made the employees a little dumbfounded, but Shao Xiuye himself, who was besieged by so many cats, was a little scared. These petite things are very fast and can easily scratch people's hands and faces. Now It was summer that he wore less clothes. If Lin Lan really ordered these cats to attack him, he couldn't imagine the consequences.
"Okay...Okay! Lin Lan, you're doing great!" With harsh words on his lips, Shao Xiuye stepped back and stared vigilantly at the cats that stretched out their claws. Pushed away without turning back.
The glass door was closed again, except for the shaking rattle, there was no other sound in the teahouse.
This episode didn't last long, but it was really surprising. Wang Jiayi and others couldn't help but look at their store manager cautiously.
"Lanlan, you..." Before the eldest miss finished her worried words, she was interrupted by Lin Lan waving her hand.
"I'm fine. He took the initiative to come and scold him. Of course I'm not used to him talking." Manager Lin looked as usual, and even smiled, "I just thank you for always protecting me, even my kitten. We all know how to protect people, which is really touching."
Seeing that the store manager picked up the two cats with one hand and rubbed his face to thank them, the employees also remembered the last group of cats to expel the bad customers collectively.
"The cat has been raised, so it can do what a dog can do." The eldest sighed.
"It's usually not easy to do, isn't it?" Tang Xiaoya patted the head of the Maine Coon cat beside her leg, "This is the first time I've seen this kind of situation. After all, cats are naturally timid creatures, that is, the store manager who is very good at taming cats. That's why they are so desperate."
"Give me the broom and mop." Song Xinmin took over the "weapons" in the hands of the two women and taught them patiently, "Next time there is a conflict, don't use the guy to do business unless necessary, this kind of behavior is very bad ."
"The kittens too, you did a good job this time. Unless someone wants to hurt you, you can't stretch your claws and scratch people, you will be detained as canned cats." Manager Lin also took the opportunity to teach.
Threaten the cat with the can.
The atmosphere gradually eased during the chat, but Lin Lan's related topics were not completely diverted.
"Lanlan, you quarreled with that scumbag just now. You said that the mistress who cheated on him was the daughter of the boss of a listed company?" Wang Jiayi, who is also the eldest lady of a wealthy family, is more sensitive to this, "You said her surname is Jiang? Her company headquarters In which city is it built?"
Lin Lan said a place name, and the eldest lady immediately showed a sudden look.
"It's that Jiang family." There was an expression of unknowing disapproval, and quickly turned into a disgusting expression, "I know the name of the daughter of the Jiang family. I'm in a circle. She has a bad reputation and a very small heart. According to what you just said, Lan Lan, you have played with her and the scumbag. If she finds out the truth, she will definitely retaliate. "
Lin Lan raised her head, but she was not afraid: "How does she want to retaliate? Xicheng is quite far from their company's business scope. No matter how long the Jiang family is, it will not be easy to do things here. If you pay someone to target me ,That… "
"Lanlan, don't be afraid of me!" Cheng Fengyang, who still didn't have any chance to show this time, immediately patted his chest and forcibly interrupted, "Don't forget that my brother-in-law is the captain of the Public Security Bureau. If they really dare to find someone to come to Xicheng to bully you, I will definitely let them go. Brother-in-law personally go out and let them sit in jail! Does he owe you favor?"
Lin Lan was about to say that you didn't pay the favor your brother-in-law owed for him, but she suddenly remembered the murder case she was almost involved in because of a wallet, and her mind automatically converted that Cheng Fengyang's brother-in-law was the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade.
"When you let your brother-in-law help Lan Lan, it means they have already bullied them!" The eldest lady pouted and retorted, and she took out her mobile phone to get the phone, "Wait, I will call my brother and ask him to go there. There is a word in the circle of dandies, as long as the surnamed Jiang still cares about her father's company projects, he will be honest, even if the scumbag goes back and tells her the truth about Lanlan's tricks, he will not dare to act."
A group of ordinary people stared blankly at the back of the eldest lady holding her mobile phone and gradually walking away, as if this time they finally felt the atmosphere in the TV novel from the identity of this girl.
"Speaking of which, what exactly does her family do?" Song Xinmin asked secretly.
"I don't know. I didn't ask anyway." Lin Lan shook her head, "But I checked the market value of the Jiang family's company in the billions."
In other words, the Wang family's wealth is much higher than that of the Jiang family, and only one sentence has the effect of making the other party dare not move.
Everyone was silent again, and then they all pretended that they didn't know what to do next.
All afternoon, Lin Lan behaved very calmly. The store manager closed the store as usual, and brought the kittens back to the third floor with the cat cage, so that everyone would soon stop paying attention to the afternoon. That emergency.
"Lanlan." Wang Xiuzhi said during dinner at night, "I met Xiao Song before I went upstairs. He said that a bastard came to trouble you in the afternoon. Why didn't you tell me?"
The mother said it implicitly, but everyone in the know knew that she knew the process of her ex's scolding at the door, and was complaining that her daughter didn't ask her to clean him up.
"It's not a big deal, Mom." Lin Lan smiled and gave her a bite. "That kind of person, I was able to clean up last year, and this year I can still make him look ashamed. Your daughter will be the one who will be a renter in the future. , I haven't seen any tenants since I was a kid, and just a few people will scare me into what I'll do in the future."
"That's not what I meant..." How can business and love be the same injury? Wang Xiuzhi wanted to refute a few words, but considering her husband and mother-in-law who didn't know about it, she didn't dare to say more, "Okay, you If I can handle it myself, I won’t ask any more questions.”
"Hey, you believe me!"
Father Lin and Grandma Lin were confused by the conversation between the mother and daughter, but they thought that they were meeting some strange customers again. After all, when the teahouse became an Internet celebrity shop, some strange things came and they were all dealt with by Lan Lan. I passed by, so I didn't think much about it and continued to eat.
After finishing the meal, Lin Lan did not sit at home, but packed up and prepared to go out.
"Are you going out to play?" Father Lin asked.
"Yes." Lin Lan responded with a smile, "Dad, don't you always like to play chess with people at night, I also want to go out for a walk."
"It's time to go out and play." Grandma Lin, who was resting on the sofa, echoed, "Since you opened the store, you have less and less time to go shopping. It's good to walk around to get some air."
"It's still the best grandma." Lin Lan smiled. "When I come back, I'll bring you a copy of the tortoise paste from the old shop in front of you."
Going downstairs with a smile all the way, he turned a corner along the street and walked out of the urban village. Under the night, the expression on Lin Lan's face became lighter and lighter.
When everyone came to ask her "Are you okay", she smiled and replied "I'm okay", but in fact it might be okay.
At least in the corner behind her back, she was hiding there and crying silently.
Just as Mother Lin said, the unhappiness in business and the hurt in love could not be the same. No matter how strong Lin Lan behaves, she is still a girl. As long as she is a woman, it is impossible for her to take feelings that she has taken seriously. It really doesn't matter at all.
At this moment, she was lightly tapped on the shoulder, and subconsciously turned around to look, facing a handed tissue.
"Cheng Fengyang?" Lin Lan's first reaction when she saw an acquaintance was to turn her head so that no one could see her embarrassed face, but it was obviously too late, and the other party handed over tissues.
As early as the afternoon, Cheng Fengyang had been paying attention to Lin Lan nervously. The more she acted as if nothing had happened, the more anxious Cheng Fengyang became. Lin Lan was crying secretly at night.
Some people do not like to show weakness by nature, such as Lin Lan, she knew from the very first contact with Cheng Fengyang that she likes to do everything by herself, but if she encounters something she doesn't understand, she is willing to ask others to do it in exchange. Show weakness or coquettish this way to get what you want.
She made him feel very distressed, but all he can do now is to hand over a tissue.
"Wipe it, I'll invite you to smash the skewers."
Lin Lan heard the other party hold back for a long time and said this, then silently took the tissue: "Okay."
Lin Lan didn't eat much for dinner in the evening, so it was quite enjoyable to eat skewers with Cheng Fengyang. Food is also one of the good ways to temporarily forget your troubles.
At least after this meal, the sadness that Lin Lan had been holding back in her heart was really much better.
After eating, the two started walking along the nearby streets, walking all the way into the nearby Fountain Pool Square.
The summer is hot, and the square at night is always more lively than the daytime. The large rainbow fountain in the center of the square is also officially launched, attracting many people to sit or walk around the circular steps next to the fountain to enjoy the cool air.
Cheng Fengyang and Lin Lan were no exception. They both stood in front of the fountain and talked to the sound of the water.
"The company that Shao Xiuye and I work for in Modu are in the same office building, on different floors; coincidentally, the rental house is also in the same community, but the building number is different; so I often meet people on the way to and from get off work every day. After a while, I became familiar with him, and after he chased me, I agreed."
When Lin Lan talked about the past, her eyelids were drooping and her face was expressionless, only her mouth opened and closed in disappointment.
"Actually, he wasn't like that in the beginning. At that time, we had just graduated from college, and people were relatively simple. At least when he was chasing me, he was still a serious worker who was looking forward to the future with vigor every day and wanted to rely on himself. A positive big boy who has changed his family. I want to maintain his self-esteem of working hard and making progress, so I don't mention the situation at home. Look and tell him about it. Everything was fine at first, I am about to be promoted to supervisor, he has been transferred to the company headquarters, it is not a dream for two people to work hard for the down payment, but unfortunately... "
What she is sad about is not breaking up with Shao Xiuye, but sadness that people's hearts are volatile in the big dye vat of society, and the shelf life of feelings is too short and too short.
The rainbow fountain at night constantly changes its angle, and it is particularly beautiful under the illumination of neon lights, which also makes Lin Lanjiao's beautiful face under the lights look melancholy and beautiful.
Cheng Fengyang suddenly stretched out his arms when he was in a trance. When he came back to his senses, he had already embraced the person and patted her on the back to comfort her.
The originally apprehensive heart gradually calmed down after the person in his arms did not struggle and refused. He was a little nervous and subconsciously wanted to say something, but found that he had already embraced the person in his heart. Hold it well.
After a while, the man buried in his arms said sullenly, "Thank you, I feel much better."
Cheng Fengyang, who was holding the person, didn't let go, but only hummed in his nose.
Lin Lan couldn't help but raised her hand and gently tugged at the other party's clothes: "I mean you should let go."
Cheng Fengyang was reluctant to let go: "Don't, girls usually suffer for a long time, so this time is definitely not enough. Even if not, you can pretend to be uncomfortable for a while."
Lin Lan didn't speak anymore, but raised her hand again in a huff, and pinched the soft flesh on the inside of the other's arm.
