Chapter 4 I'm not a fool, I'm a coward

Dilapidated neighborhoods, old houses, penthouses favored by the sun.

The slightly yellowed walls, the old-fashioned sofa, and the happy bed that squeaks and sings to themselves when you sit on it, make the already miserable and miserable music mother even more depressed.

It's really a family with four walls, she can't figure out what bad things she did in her last life, and she will fall to this point in this life.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift. If it was in normal times, she would never set foot in this shabby place, as long as it was contaminated with a little bit of the rotten smell here, it would be a blasphemy against her.

But now, the dilapidated house has become her home, bought with all the savings of her precious daughter.

Thinking of that affectionate man, and thinking of this miserable life, Le Mu felt that the whole world was dark and the whole life was hopeless.

"Mom, go and rest, I'll clean up the house. ”

Le's mother sighed heavily, she was really shameless to face her smiling daughter, and obediently dragged her heavy steps to the bedroom. After the door was closed, the bright smile on Le Jiarong's face disappeared without a trace, and she watched her elegant mother be sucked away from her spirit in just two days, her expression was depressed, and her shiny black hair was faintly glowing with a hint of silver.

"Alas. Le Jiarong sighed deeply and resigned himself to packing his things.

After finishing the housework and looking at the renovated room, Le Jiarong, who was tired and had a sore back, showed a satisfied smile. Suddenly, the phone rang, Le Jiarong glanced at Zhenghuan's number popping up on the screen, and his face changed.

Romantic music sounded in the elegant café, and Le Jiarong looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window boredly, without the slightest intention of speaking first.

"Jiarong, are you angry with your father?"

"Don't dare!" After all, she's just a money-loser, dispensable.

"Dad doesn't mean anything else, don't misunderstand, Jiarong. ”

"yes, I see. ”

Le Yunsheng was a little at a loss, he looked at Le Jiarong with a cold attitude with a little embarrassment, and the words on his lips went around a few times but still didn't come out, blocking his chest, making him a little depressed.

"Jiarong, Dad wants to discuss something with you. ”

"Say, I'll listen. ”

Le Jiarong put on a posture of listening to his ears, the expression on his face was so serious that he couldn't do it, as if the next thing was more important than the fall and rise in housing prices, and the serious appearance made Le Yunsheng stunned, and his hanging heart finally calmed down.

She still cares about herself, Le Yunsheng comforts herself so much. The clasped hands slowly loosened, and the hideous green tendons slowly disappeared.

"That's right, you're not too young now, and it's time to get married..."

"So, are you going to let me go on a blind date?"

As soon as Le Yunsheng saw that there was a play, he immediately came to the spirit. "Remember your uncle's youngest son, who has always liked you, and who just came back from England last week, and asked me about you? Aren't you friends, make an appointment to meet and have tea when you're fine? ”

"Huh. Le Jiarong sneered, thinking that Le Yunsheng was desperate, and he actually started a pimping business, and the object was still his biological daughter, which was really good.

"I don't know him well, so there's no need to meet. Moreover, he has a girlfriend and has close contacts with people with families, which is too cheap. ”

Le Yunsheng's face stiffened, and he smiled unnaturally, "And your Uncle Zhao's brother, who also came to me two days ago, said that he has always liked you, as long as you are willing, he is happy to marry you." ”

is the playboy who spends all day in the gentle township, the likes on his lips are not even worth a dime, and talking about feelings with him is undoubtedly playing the piano to the cow.

Le Jiarong knocked lightly on the table, and asked lightly, "Who else?"

"And your Uncle Li's brother, who is two years younger than you, but he says he doesn't care. ”

He doesn't care that I care! Le Jiarong looked at his father who was getting more and more excited, and wanted to spray a basin of cold water on his hot head to calm him down.

"Dad, are you going to open a wedding company? No, is it a marriage agency?" Le Jiarong chuckled, "Is Dad preparing to change careers to be a matchmaker now?"

"I..."

"Dad, what do you think of me? How much do you hate me, you can be so cruel that you can sacrifice my happiness and become a bargaining chip for your comeback? Although I am a girl, I am also your child, how can you be so partial!"

Le Yunsheng froze, "What are you talking about, it's not what you think, you misunderstood your father." "How can a usually obedient and well-behaved child drop the chain at a critical moment. "Your accusation Dad can't accept it, let you get married, how can it be said that it sacrificed your happiness, they all like you very much, Dad let you marry love, what's wrong with this?"

Le Jiarong closed his eyes in despair, but then opened them again, his dark eyes shining with a dark light.

"It doesn't make sense to say this now, Dad, I don't care what you think, I'm poor now, and I have an old mother to take care of at home, and I'm really not in the mood to think about these messy things. I'm having a treat today, I still have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

Besides, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to be so calm. It's obviously impossible to say no, but if it's to blame, it's too stingy. After all, it's a thing of the past, and it's really not wise to hold on to it.

"Jiarong, Jiarong..."Father Le roared angrily, "You come back to me, I haven't finished my words yet!"

However, in response to him was an air of emptiness, loneliness, and coldness.

Physically and mentally exhausted, he returned home, looking at the door of Le Mu's still closed room with some helplessness, Le Jiarong was lying on the narrow single bed, his eyes were empty, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.

What should she do next, for the past twenty-five years, she has spent her days in a state of confusion, not knowing the hardships of life. Now the mountain of life is pressing on her body, and she is a little out of breath in a hurry, but there is no way, even if it is full of thorns now, she has to go forward bravely to open a way out.

Because, she has no other way to go.

Alas, instead of thinking about it here, it is better to see what reliable jobs are available on the Internet to be more practical.

Doing housework, looking for a job, and persuading Le Mu, Le Jiarong was busy and dizzy. I don't know if what he said last time whipped Father Le's heart, but in short, he rarely stopped for two days and didn't give her any more moths.

At six o'clock, the light tore open a trace of darkness, and the city began to wake up. Le Jiarong prepared breakfast, washed up briefly, and began to pack himself quickly.

After submitting fifteen resumes, a company finally responded today, although the position is not very satisfying, but as long as she is given a salary that satisfies her, the rest can be ignored.

In the face of hunger and cold, the bread is obviously more abundant than ideal.

"Mom, the meal is ready, I'll go first. ”

After waiting for a minute, there was still no response from the closed door, Le Jiarong sighed heavily, took the bag on the stool, and opened the door to leave.

Sitting on the chair at the bus stop, Le Jiarong was playing with her mobile phone with a heavy heart, and suddenly an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen, and she quickly pressed the answer button, and her face became extremely pale in an instant.

The strange male voice from the microphone gave her a bolt from the blue without accident, and the repair fee she needed to pay was absolutely unimaginable for her.

Sitting tremblingly on the chair in the café, Le Jiarong felt uncomfortable, especially the other party's inquiring gaze, which made her even more embarrassed.

"Is there a nail on this chair? Or am I so sorry that Miss Le is so distracted and swaying?"

"Nope. "Anyway, it's all a knife, early death and late death are death, it's better to die early and be born early. Le Jiarong made up his mind and decided to confess and be lenient, "This gentleman..."

"My surname is Lu. ”

Le Jiarong is as good as a stream, "Mr. Lu, I will definitely pay for the repair cost, but can I pay it in installments?"

Lu Jiyun's slender fingers tapped on the table, and the clasping sound made Le Jiarong's heart mess up. Suddenly, she felt a heavy sense of urgency, and sensitively smelled a smell of danger, and she jerked her head up just in time for her dark eyes.

She stared at him deeply, as if to see the depths of his eyes, to explore the deep unfinished ground.

Lu Jiyun showed an evil smile, "Miss Le, if you stare at me so enthusiastically, I will think too much." ”

Le Jiarong retracted his gaze in embarrassment, "I'm sorry." "This man, really, thinks too much!

"How many installments are you going to install?"

"Two... Twenty-four issues. "This is a conservative estimate.

Lu Jiyun showed an incredible look, and Le Jiarong's already reddened pretty face turned even redder.

"I've been missing a secretary lately. ”

Le Jiarong looked at him suspiciously.

"Work hard to pay off your debts. Lu Jiyun sighed, "Why is your comprehension so poor!"

Le Jiarong almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood, what are you doing, when she was in school, she was a high-scoring contestant in reading comprehension in the Chinese test!

"You want me to be your secretary?"

Le Jiarong was dizzy and couldn't tell whether this was a good thing for the world to drop pie or a bad thing to make matters worse.

"It seems that you are not stupid enough to get home, do you have any opinions?"

"No, no, no. Le Jiarong vaguely heard a smell of gnashing her teeth, and she asked weakly, "That, may I ask, what is the monthly salary?"

After finishing the dinner with that unfathomable man, Le Jiarong's work was settled. No, it's not so much work, but from tomorrow onwards, she will be his 24-hour personal servant.

Thinking of the outrageous rules and regulations that the man said, she couldn't help but want to cry.

"Your immediate supervisor is me, so you are not allowed to ask for leave from other people without my permission. ”

"I like women to wear pants, and they have to dress up simply and smartly, so rags like this today will never appear in front of me in the future. ”

"Also, your phone must be turned on 24 hours a day, because I can contact you at any time. ”

When he heard this, Le Jiarong had already begun to grind his teeth faintly, but Lu Jiyun didn't seem to feel the strong murderous aura, and still said slowly:

"Nothing special, come and pick me up at seven o'clock in the morning every day, these are the car keys, follow me to pick up the car later. ”

Le Jiarong couldn't help but protest, "Why am I going to pick you up, I'm a secretary and not a driver." ”

Lu Ji Yunyun smiled lightly, and the corners of his slightly hooked mouth faintly exuded a charm that seduced people's souls. However, the words spit out by the beautiful thin lips were very inadequate, "I'm sorry, my secretary is the driver!"

Damn, this is simply a naked exploitation of the labor of employees, he is really a wicked capitalist!

Le Jiarong decisively chose to shut up, she was afraid that the mouth that was about to be uncontrollable would tell the truth that she regretted.

This man is simply a mess, and she even has the urge to strangle him.

But she didn't dare, it wasn't her, in fact, she was cowardly.

"Excuse me, what other instructions do you have, please finish it all at once!"

"Oh, by the way, come to my house every Friday to clean up. ”

Le Jiarong's eyes widened, "What did you just say, I didn't hear it, you say it again." ”

"I don't like to repeat meaningless nonsense, I'll just explain anything once, and if you can't keep up with my rhythm, then I'll just let you roll up and leave. Alright, that's all for today, now follow me to get the car. Go to work on time tomorrow, it's better not to be late, otherwise..."

Looking at that demonic smile, Le Jiarong instinctively shuddered.
