Chapter 34: You are the lady, you call the shots
The next day, Zhou Yiyan didn't wake up until noon, and Guan Linyuan had already gone out.
Eating a belated breakfast, the maid brought her the mail she had just received, "Madame, there is your package." ”
Zhou Yiyan said in surprise: "It arrived so soon?" Help me unwrap it. ”
One day, she was wandering around X-Treasure and accidentally found something called DIY cloth books, and was immediately attracted by the advertising slogan inside.
The first book that a mother made for her baby.
Almost without any hesitation, she placed the order and paid.
The maid expertly dissected the box and pulled out a large bundle of colorful things inside.
Mai Oak went downstairs with the baby in her arms at this time, and immediately ran forward curiously to watch.
"What are these?"
The baby was also attracted, with a pair of slender eyes that were spinning and a rich expression.
"Woo babble!"
Since the full moon, the baby's interest in interacting with people has become more and more high, and from time to time some strange syllables are made, which makes people laugh.
Zhou Yiyan touched the baby's pink cheeks, and said with a smile: "This is a DIY cloth book, and it is a gift I want to give to my little lover." ”
Mai Li suddenly realized, "Yes, the Spring Festival is coming." ”
Zhou Yiyan said "Huh", and quickly took out his mobile phone to look at the calendar, "Really, there is still half a month to go before the New Year." ”
Mai Oak picked up the bag and looked at it, and saw that it was a semi-finished product, so he smiled at the baby: "You see how good your mother is to you, I want to make you a New Year's gift by myself." ”
Zhou Yiyan found the manual in the large pile of colorful materials, looked at it slightly, and his face was heavy.
Mai Li didn't pay attention to her expression, and said to herself to the happy baby: "This is the first New Year since you were born, no wonder your mother wants to give you a special gift." ”
"That," the boat lifted his forehead with a goose, "next year's gift." ”
Oak: "......"
Zhou Yiyan: "I can't catch up in half a month, or a gift for June Day?" ”
Oak turned her head to look at the baby, "What do you think?" ”
Baby: "......"
Although the manual has a very detailed production step, basically just sew the material together, but it takes a lot of time to stitch and thread.
Zhou Yiyan struggled all afternoon and barely completed a page.
She took a photo of the finished product, and then posted it to Moments, adding another sentence of emotion: Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
Two minutes later, she saw Oak leaving a comment below.
Mak Mai Meng: Come on! Next year's June 1st, you can.
Five minutes later, both the maid and the housekeeper silently gave a thumbs up below.
Zhou Yiyan: "......"
I didn't expect to gain so much comfort, and the family was really warm.
Just as she decided to kill the second page in one fell swoop, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
The number jumping on the screen is a little familiar, but since it is not saved in the phone, it should not be a friend.
"Xiaozhou, it's me."
Zhou Yiyan found that many people like to say these two words, you are right, the question is who is you, who are you?
She simply asked directly what the facts were, too lazy to guess.
"Xiaozhou, I was kicked out by the dead fat woman, and now I don't know what to do, woo woo."
Zhou Yiyan was taken aback, and then recognized that it was Zhong Ying.
What good end can be for offending the landlord, but Zhou Yiyan didn't expect Mrs. Sun to really do so well.
"Didn't you sign a lease contract?" She comforted her guiltily and then reminded her that she could solve the problem by going through the legal route.
Zhong Ying said: "There is a contract, but it says that the rent must be paid on time every month. ”
Zhou Yiyan was indignant for her, "Isn't it just late to pay the rent, and it's not that you don't pay." ”
Zhong Ying said: "She drove me out, and I will definitely not pay the half a year I owe." ”
Zhou Yiyan: "......"
Is the logical relationship reversed?
So Zhong Ying was kicked out because she was in arrears for half a year's rent?
Zhou Yiyan's guilt suddenly dissipated a lot.
It seems that she was kicked out not entirely because of helping herself out.
"And what are you going to do?" Zhou Yiyan asked.
Zhong Ying sobbed and said: "I don't know, I was sick before, I spent a lot of money, and the company deducted my salary because of leave, and now I only have a few hundred yuan on me, Xiaozhou, what do you say I should do?" ”
Since they all called, it means asking for help, Zhou Yiyan lived in the same building as her when she was down, and the relationship was close, so she had to help her.
So she immediately said: "You hurry up and see what suitable house there is nearby, how much rent you need, you tell me, I will lend it to you." ”
In fact, it is not a big deal, and the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.
Zhong Ying was silent for a few seconds, and said hesitantly: "I don't want to borrow your money, I'm so embarrassed." ”
"What are you polite to me?" Zhou Yiyan said, "You still don't want to look for it nearby, it's not safe in that area, spend more money to rent a more comfortable place, and the money can be paid back to me slowly, don't worry." ”
She said so, but Zhong Ying still refused, "It's still not good to borrow your money, I don't know when I will be able to pay it off, I don't want to live with debts." ”
Zhou Yiyan: "......"
She is not so arrogant that she doesn't need to pay it back, mainly because her savings are actually not much, and she can't be swollen and fat.
Zhong Ying couldn't hear her speak, she was a little anxious, and called out to her, "Xiaozhou? ”
Zhou Yiyan responded, and said a little distressedly: "I'm trying to find a way for you." ”
Zhong Ying said hesitantly: "That, Xiaozhou, I thought of a way, that is, it may trouble you, if you don't want to, I won't mind, because I also know that this is not good." ”
Zhou Yiyan suddenly had a hint of foreboding.
"What's ......?"
Zhong Ying said in a pitiful tone: "I want to go to your house to borrow for a while, and then go to rent a house when I have saved enough money, do you think it's okay?" ”
Zhou Yiyan was silent.
Then it is better to lend her money to rent a house.
"I'm sorry, my family...... Not very convenient. She was still hesitant to explain the intricate relationship between herself and Guan Linyuan, and Zhong Ying had already said coldly, "I know."
I could hear that tone was full of anger, and I almost snorted heavily.
Zhou Yiyan was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he hung up over there.
All afternoon, Zhou Yiyan was sullen because of the phone call.
I didn't have much appetite until dinner.
Guan Linyuan noticed it, glanced at her thoughtfully, and asked lightly, "What's in the afternoon tea?" ”
The maid standing on the side hurriedly replied: "Xiao He bought a big bag of mangoes today, and the kitchen made mango mille-feuille and mango pudding, and squeezed some to make a mango milkshake." ”
Guan Linyuan understood, "No wonder. ”
Zhou Yiyan felt something was wrong when he heard this, and turned his head to look at him.
"I only ate a little." She remembers saying she wanted to lose weight.
Guan Linyuan looked at her, "Then why do you eat so little for dinner?" ”
Zhou Yiyan didn't expect Guan Linyuan to care about her amount of food, she was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a while, she slowly spit out two words: "Lose weight." ”
Guan Linyuan sneered, "What to eat for weight loss afternoon tea." ”
"I said I only ate a little!"
Sweets can relieve her mood, she has been haunted since she answered the phone, and for a while she felt that she was not too unkind, and for a while she felt that Zhong Ying was difficult, and she was not wrong.
Guan Linyuan stared at her eyes for a few seconds, his eyes were sharp and sharp, as if he wanted to look straight into her heart through her eyes.
Zhou Yiyan looked at him absentmindedly, and it wasn't until the other party looked away that he reacted consciously.
It seems to be ...... just now What happened?
After dinner, Guan Linyuan called the housekeeper into the study and asked if anything special had happened today.
Ji Feng told Guan Linyuan about the maid passing by Zhouyiyanmen, accidentally overhearing the content of her conversation with Zhong Ying, and then telling Guan Linyuan about it as gossip about him.
Of course, the section where the maid is used as gossip is hidden.
Guan Linyuan nodded and waved his hand to signal that Ji Feng could go out.
He frowned as the door closed.
He found that his attention to Zhou Yiyan during this period was a little too much.
At the beginning, he married this woman home, just so that the baby could grow up under the care of his biological mother.
He used to yearn for the family affection he had when he was a child, but he couldn't ask for it, so he didn't want his son to have the same experience.
That's all.
Since when did she slowly integrate into his life?
He has always hated women who cry at every turn, so his first impression of her is that she is a weak and incompetent daughter, who has lost the protection of a powerful family, and has achieved nothing.
However, after this period of getting along, he found that she was not so useless.
And every time he sees her soft and cowardly, he can't help but bully, just like seeing a succulent plant and can't help but want to poke it with a toothpick.
Just as he was considering whether to meddle in her troubles, there was a knock on the door of the study, and before he could answer, a head poked in.
Guan Linyuan: "......"
I really want to come to something.
Zhou Yiyan looked at the man behind the desk who seemed to be thinking seriously about life, pursed his lips, and asked cautiously, "I didn't bother you, did I?" ”
Guan Linyuan glanced at her lightly and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”
Zhou Yiyan pinched his mobile phone and looked uneasy.
Guan Linyuan said: "Say it." ”
Zhou Yiyan looked determined at this time, and mustered up the courage to meet his gaze, "I received a call from a friend just now, saying that she was robbed and is now penniless. She was kicked out by the landlord at noon, a girl, and now it's so late, it's dangerous to be alone......"
"Getting to the point." Guan Linyuan interrupted her narration impatiently.
Zhou Yiyan immediately became kind, "I want to take her back for a night." ”
Guan Linyuan asked, "And then?" ”
Zhou Yiyan immediately said: "Don't worry, she will leave as soon as it dawns." ”
Guan Linyuan: "......"
Why did he sound so uncomfortable?
"Your friend, it's up to you to decide how long you want to stay." He said lightly.
"Yes...... Hey? What did you say? Zhou Yiyan's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard.
What he meant was that even if she wanted to keep Zhong Ying for a while, she could do it?
"Anything else?" Guan Linyuan looked at it deeply.
Zhou Yiyan immediately shook his head, "Uh, it's gone." ”
Then he reacted and quickly stood up, "I'll let Xiaomei and them clean the guest room." ”
Guan Linyuan did not speak, nor did he have an expression.
Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, and she didn't see anything.
I don't know if it's because he relented and agreed to her request, but at the moment, looking at the face that was a little blurred by the lights, she felt quite pleasing to the eye.
Even the half of the face with scars looks cool and handsome.
