"Mr. Xiao Lu personally ordered that in the future, your salary will be put into two cards, so as not to be taken away by your vampire stepfather."

Finance looked at Zhen Xin, who was confused, and couldn't help but feel curious, "Why, you don't know it yourself?" ”

Zhen Xin seemed to understand in an instant, and quickly patted his head, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, "Look at my memory!" It was indeed I who went to ask Mr. Xiao Lu for help, but I forgot about it. ”

Turning back to the office, she took out her mobile phone, looked at the SMS notification of her salary card again, and let out a long sigh: such a small amount of money is not enough for her to rent a house.

Mr. Xiao's trick is really ruthless.

Imperial Garden.

Dinner is a delicate two meats, two vegetables and one soup, in front of Zhen Xin, is a hot and sour lotus root and Hunan stir-fried pork, both are home-cooked dishes, but the advantage is in the expensive ingredients, and the chef's craftsmanship.

Xiao Tingli's taste has always been light, so these two dishes are specially prepared for Zhen Xin. I took her out to eat before, and I remember that she loved to order these two dishes.

It's just that half of the meal was eaten, but I didn't see her move a chopstick dish.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "What, unappetizing?" ”

Zhen Xin angrily picked a mouthful of white rice in his mouth and bit hard, "Mr. Xiao charges so much for food, how can I afford to eat these hundreds of yuan a plate!" ”

"You went to ask Mr. Lu?" Xiao Tingli hooked his lips.

Zhen Xin poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks indignantly, "Do you still need to ask?" As far as your friendship with Mr. Xiao Lu is concerned, a phone call is enough! ”

Her depressed little appearance really amused Xiao Tingli, and he personally gave her a chopstick dish, "You can eat whatever the chef does, don't worry, I won't raise your food expenses." ”

"But, Mr. Xiao," Zhen Xin looked at him with a worried brow, "I really want to rent a house near the club, so that it is convenient to commute to work." Xu Mu and Miss Jia's relationship is already very stable, and I believe they won't trouble me anymore. ”

"Won't trouble you again?" Xiao Tingli drank a spoonful of soup slowly, "Who is trying to make you ugly at the engagement banquet?" Who is the one who found your so-called relatives and uncovered your old scars? ”

"You scared Miss Jia enough that day, I believe she won't dare to do nonsense again."

Xiao Tingli stopped looking at her, and there was a hint of seriousness and concern in his eyes, "Living in Yujingyuan, it makes you uncomfortable like this?" ”

Zhen Xin also raised her eyes lightly and looked directly at him, her expression and tone were as normal as usual chatter, "The new year has begun, and I also want to start over and live a normal life." ”

"What's wrong with your life right now?"

"I don't have a normal relationship with you." Zhen Xin replied to him without evasion, "Although I have suffered betrayal and ten years of relationship have gone down, I am still willing to believe in love." But this state is not the state of waiting for love. ”

On the tip of Xiao Tingli's heart, he felt that he was lightly pricked by something.

It doesn't hurt, but it's not comfortable either.

He raised his eyebrows, "So, you've already met the man you like?" ”

"Not yet." Zhen Xin shook her head honestly.

Xiao Tingli didn't want to continue to entangle with her on this topic, so he pulled out his chair and got up, "Then wait until you meet the person you like." ”

"Then my salary ......"

The man shrugged his shoulders, "Like you said, a dish is hundreds of dollars, and you always have a little to bear." ”

…… This scoundrel!

Typical strong buy and strong sell!

Zhen Xin squeezed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, grinding his upper and lower teeth and biting hard.

Then gradually, her eyebrows were dyed with melancholy again: she knew that Xiao Tingli's words had some truth, after all, no one dared to guarantee that Jia Mengyan would really not trouble her again.

However, she can't live here forever.

People's hearts are long, and Mr. Xiao's kindness to her, she sees it in her eyes and remembers it in her heart.

She didn't want to suddenly come back to her senses one day, only to find that she had become a habit of dependence on him.

He and she are people of two worlds, and there shouldn't be too much intersection.

After getting off work that day, Zhen Xin went to the entrance of the high school department to wait for Zhen Yi.

Although they are half-siblings, their two siblings have had a deep relationship since childhood. After moving out of the house, the two siblings also saw each other often.

"Is six hundred enough?"

Zhen Xin took out money from his pocket and stuffed it to Zhen Yi, Zhen Yi was very happy, "Enough is enough!" Sister, you give me so much, do you still have it? ”

"Don't worry, yes."

"That's good. If Mom and Dad ask about you, you will help me keep it a secret! Big Fat is my best brother, he went to be a soldier this time, we can't see each other for several years, we must not get drunk tonight. Zhen Yi said, grabbing the big fat shoulder.

"Okay. You're all 18-year-old adults, so take care of yourself and be safe. Zhen Xin didn't preach much to Zhen Yi, she knew that her brother was measured.

Raise your hand to look at the time, it's not early, "Then I'll go first." I also wish Da Fat a smooth journey. ”

Zhen Xin turned around and left, but Zhen Yi chased after him alone, digging in the pocket of his school uniform with one hand, "That...... Sister...... Do you want to come out and rent a house on your own? ”

"Of course, what's wrong?"

Zhen Yi took out a bunch of keys and stuffed them into Zhen Xin's hand, "This house is near your company, for you to live in!" ”

"Where's the house?" Zhen Xinhu looked at him suspiciously.

Zhen Yi scratched his head, "My good brother's ...... Anyway, if no one lives there, I'll lend it to you first. ”

"Every inch of land in the center of the city is expensive, and people rent it out is a lot of income, so why should I live for nothing?" Zhen Xin's face was slightly gloomy, "Why don't you tell the truth?" ”

Zhen Yi's eyes began to drift around, "Oops! Anyway, you just go to live, why do you ask so much! I'm your own brother, I can still hurt you! ”

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, pulling the big fat and rushing to the bus stop, not giving Zhen Xin a chance to catch up and ask more.

Zhen Xin looked down at the key in her hand, in fact, Zhen Yi refused to say, she could guess - besides Xu Mu, who else could have anything to do with Zhen Yi?

But she's definitely not going to live.

If she really wants to choose, whether to continue to live in Xiao Tingli's Yujing Garden, or in the house that Xu Mu secretly rented, she will definitely choose the former.

She didn't want to be involved with Xu Mu anymore.

She and Jia Mengyan can't afford it.

That night, Xiao Tingli still had business to deal with, so Zhen Xin slept alone.

When Xiao Tingli returned to the bedroom, he accidentally knocked her coat to the ground, he picked it up and hung it back, and then saw a bunch of keys fall on the ground.

When I picked it up, it was an access card with three keys, and the address on the access card was pasted: Bishui 1107.

That place is very close to the club where Zhen Xin works. But correspondingly, the rent is also really expensive.

He glanced at it, didn't react, and put her back in.

Early the next morning, at the dinner table, he asked her casually, "Are you still looking for a house these days?" ”

"I'm not looking for it. You deduct my money like that, where can I afford to rent a house? Zhen Xin tore a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, with a calm face, "It's good enough for my own use." ”

She didn't look like she was lying at all, so Xiao Tingli didn't ask any more.

The mobile phone rang at this time, Zhen Xin glanced at it, it was an unfamiliar number, "Hey, hello." ”

"Is this Miss Zhen? I am an agent for a real estate company. ”

Zhen Xin was stunned, but there was no leakage on his face, "I didn't want to rent a house." ”

"That's right, someone has already paid the rent for Bishuiyuan's house, and the contract has been signed, and it is a one-year term. I put the contract and the deposit slip on the coffee table in the living room, and remember to put it away when Miss Zhen moves in. ”

Xiao Tingli glanced at her sideways, "What's wrong?" ”

"An agent who sells rentals." Zhen Xin hurriedly cut off the phone, "Probably I forgot to cancel the rent request information of the same city network." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone call came again, she cut it off, and the other party persevered.

There was a hint of fluctuation in Xiao Tingli's eyes, "The current real estate agent is so persevering. ”

"yes, it's like kraft candy, you can't get rid of it if you get it." Zhen Xin's eyebrows floated helplessly, and complex feelings also surged in her heart.

The man didn't go on, he hadn't seen the key before.

And this key is in Zhen Xin's hands, like a hot potato.

She had to get the key back as soon as possible, or she wouldn't know what moths were going to give birth to if she was discovered.

Two days later, she took advantage of her lunch break to go to Bishui in person.

According to her idea, throw the key to the house and it's over, and let Zhen Yi explain the rest to Xu Mu by herself.

As soon as she opened the door of 1107, the kitchen door also opened, and a tall figure walked out.

Xu Mu had just boiled the water, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Zhen Xin, and then the corners of his mouth were filled with joy, "Xinxin, you are here." ”
