Chapter 41: Oops, Exposed
If the good person knew that the wild dog she had been raising was actually a vicious wolf, would she still cast a concerned gaze?
No, not really.
After a few seconds of silence, he straightened his expression and got out of the car.
"It's friends who play together." He Sibai introduced Shen Qingzhao like this.
The gauze on the arm seems to be wrapped unusually loosely today.
He Sibai rubbed the gauze hidden under his sleeve, trying to wrap the gauze tighter; While trying to suppress the uneasiness that surged up in his heart.
There are large tattoos on the back of his right hand and even on his arm, which is why he has been wrapping his right hand in gauze or gloves in front of Shen Qingzhao.
Hopefully, the red fur won't talk about his hands.
However, it backfired, and although he deliberately closed the door with his left hand when he got out of the car, the red hair on the tip of his eyes still saw the bright white gauze hidden under the sleeve.
"Oh yes! I heard that your hand was hurt by a stupid fork? Redfur frowned worriedly, "Didn't hurt tesuji?" β
He Sibai snorted, and there was nervousness in his voice that he didn't even notice: "It's okay, it's almost fine." β
Hess rolled his throat lightly, and then pressed the red hair's hand tightly to rip off the gauze on his hand.
His tone was a little cold: "I said it, no." β
"Okay......" Redfur let go of his hand.
Redfur grinned in response.
He Sibai heard the thud of his heart crashing.
Finished.
He raised his head anxiously, and happened to meet Shen Qingzhao's eyes that were distracted because of his stunnedness.
Fortunately, Shen Qingzhao is an actor in his own job and has always been good at acting.
And then a smile suddenly returned to her face. changed the topic lightly, and chatted with the red hair about racing.
After someone from the insurance company called, the two sides talked about compensation again.
It seems that her mood is no different from before, and in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Shen Qingzhao did not take the red-haired words to heart.
But He Sibai knew no.
Because in the next half an hour, Shen Qingzhao didn't say a word to him again.
----------
After handling everything, Shen Qingzhao and Hongmao left each other's WeChat, and then the two sides said goodbye.
Seeing that Shen Qingzhao was talking to someone from the insurance company, the red hair quietly moved to He Sibai's side and called him with a smile: "Brother He, I can't see it, you actually like my sister's this." No wonder so many girls handed you love letters before, and you didn't care. β
"How are you two getting along?" The red fur asked excitedly, "Don't be shy, say something." β
He Sibai stared at Hongmao with an innocent expression on his face, not wanting to speak.
He just wanted to do it nowβhe was so annoyed right now that he even had the idea of screwing the red-haired head off.
Hongmao was stared at a little panicked, and rubbed his arm twice: "Brother He, what's wrong with you, don't speak?" β
"It's fine." After a moment of silence, Hesbeth spoke coldly.
Seeing Shen Qingzhao open the car door and beckoning to him to leave, He Sibai hurriedly turned around and followed.
Just left one sentence: "I wish you didn't have a long mouth." β
The red hair who was scolded inexplicably: "? β
After a moment's pause, he lowered his eyes and let out a routed and embarrassed sigh.
ββ¦β¦ What he said was true. β
His expected questioning, anger, and quarrel did not show up.
He Sibai lowered his eyes and waited quietly for a moment, then raised his head a little dazedly and looked towards Shen Qingzhao.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and there were no lights in the car, and He Sibai could only vaguely see Shen Qingzhao's delicate side face in the driver's seat.
The red lips pursed slightly, and the expression was extraordinarily calm.
For a moment, He Sibai was so flustered that he couldn't do it.
He would rather hear Shen Qingzhao scolding him than look at Shen Qingzhao's calm face.
After all, there is no greater mourning than death.
He Sibai waited in silence with anxiety, and after another fork in the road, Shen Qingzhao finally spoke.
She tilted her head slightly, glanced at him, and her voice was cold and quiet: "You really can." β
He Sibai said hoarsely: "I'm sorry. β
ββ¦β¦ Sick. β
The oncoming car drove off in its high beam without knowing what to do, and a burst of blinding white light hit its face. Shen Qingzhao squinted irritably and cursed softly.
After Bai Guang Er'er passed away, Shen Qingzhao continued: "If you apologize, you will be free, and I don't want to quarrel." We're all quiet. β
After hearing this, He Sibai didn't make a sound, just silently turned his head to the side of the car window, quietly looking at the scenery speeding by outside the car window.
The rest of the way was silent, and there was silence in the car. When he entered the city, the car smoothly turned into the community where Shen Qingzhao lived.
When he arrived at the parking lot, Shen Qingzhao removed his seat belt with a cold face: "Get out of the car." β
The boy obediently did so. Like a little follower, follow her all the way to the elevator.
When the elevator came, he hesitated and didn't follow up.
Shen Qingzhao, who was the first to step into the elevator, saw his appearance, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he seemed to be smiling: "Wait for me to invite you in?" β
ββ¦β¦β
He Sibai didn't speak, and walked in.
Soon, the elevator reached the floor.
After unlocking the lock, he threw his coat onto the sofa, Shen Qingzhao dropped the sentence "You are at your own convenience" and left the boy and went into the bedroom alone.
I didn't forget to lock the bedroom door.
----------
A moment later, Shen Qingzhao, who was lying on the bed, heard two knocks on the bedroom door.
The knock was very soft, with a palpable trepidation.
Shen Qingzhao heard it, but didn't respond.
She doesn't want to pay attention to that little liar now.
The well-behaved school bully boy who has been raised for more than a month has turned into a motorcycle school bully who can play five - this contrast is too exciting, and she accepts incompetence for a while.
Anger wrapped in grievances, Shen Qingzhao rolled on the bed with these two strong emotions.
Then before you know it, you fall asleep.
She is also extremely sleepy - she has been deliberately dieting all this time, and she has to take on a lot of mental and physical work every day, all supported by willpower.
Now that I finally got home, my willpower relaxed, and I soon fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Shen Qingzhao heard the phone ring in a hazy way.
Shen Qingzhao hadn't slept enough, and he was desperately sleepy at this time. She rolled over in bed and didn't pay any attention to it.
But the phone rang indefatigably, ringing one after another, which meant that if you didn't answer, I wouldn't stop.
When the phone rang for the fourth time, Shen Qingzhao finally couldn't help it. She sat up abruptly and swiped the answer button in annoyance: "Hey? Speak! β
ββ¦β¦ Hello? The person on the other side of the phone seemed to be frightened by Shen Qingzhao, and greeted her tremblingly, "I'm your property manager." That's right, now there is a nun here at the entrance of the community, saying that she wants to go to your house. Do you agree? β
Shen Qingzhao's mind was still confused, and he didn't react for a while: "Nun? β
The property steward was a young man, and it was probably the first time he had encountered this situation, and his voice sounded erratic and very hesitant: "Yes." It's like going to your house......"
Before he finished speaking, a loud middle-aged female voice came from there: "Put-Amitabha, the poor nun lives here, and he is the owner!" Who's the Relationship? β
The voice is too recognizable. Shen Qingzhao held his head: "Okay, that's my mother." You put it in. β
The property steward hurriedly answered and hung up the phone.
Shen Qingzhao struggled to get up from the bed, wondering while putting on his coat.
Why didn't her mother say hello and suddenly came back from the temple?
couldn't think clearly, Shen Qingzhao pinched the key and prepared to go downstairs in slippers.
Walking to the living room, Shen Qingzhao found that the living room was empty.
She shouted a few more times, but there was still no answer.
She was finally sure that the little liar who had sent her back was gone.
Shen Qingzhao frowned.
Really gone?
She actually just wanted to be cold for a while. I didn't expect him to go so simply. It filled her heart with a sense of guilt.
But there is no time to care about the whereabouts of He Sibai at the moment. Shen Qingzhao hurriedly walked out of the corridor, and at a glance saw a person walking in her direction in the distance.
The man wore a dusty hat, his right hand rested on his chest, and dragged a gray nun's robe, fluttering around.
Walking to Shen Qingzhao, her mother bowed her head slightly and recited the Buddha name slowly.
Shen Qingzhao yawned and waved his hand: "Shi is too auspicious." β
Her mother's voice was still calm, but her words always sounded unkind: "This community is getting worse and worse, and the newly recruited security guards are all young rabbits, and they can't even recognize the owner's face." β
Shen Qingzhao: "......"
At this time, her mother raised her eyelids again and looked Shen Qingzhao up and down.
Shen Qingzhao was stunned.
How did she feel her mother's eyesβ
Revealing a hint of disdain?
Before she could question it, her mother had already spoken again: "Amitabha, I haven't seen you for a few months, why are you sloppy like this?" β
Shen Qingzhao was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Master, the monks don't speak. The Buddha would be angry when he heard that. β
"I'm not a lie, it's a fact. You're just sloppy right now. Her mother entered the elevator first, snatched the elevator card in Shen Qingzhao's hand neatly, and scratched it against the display board, "Moreover, if I said that the Buddha can't hear it, he shouldn't hear it." β
Shen Qingzhao had nothing to say. Good guy, this Buddha that her mother believes in can still appear selectively.
Good intelligence.
It should be cyberpunk-type, an electronic Buddha.
The elevator slowly rose in an awkward atmosphere. Her mother looked up at the constantly beating floor for a while, and then asked, "Have you collected the rent for the first half of the year?" β
Shen Qingzhao shook his head.
Her mind was still a little confused when she woke up, and she tried to think about it for a while before she replied, "Almost." There are still a few old men and old ladies who don't know how to use WeChat, and I will collect them after a while. β
"How long is it going to be? Do you want to wait for the second half of the year to collect together? Her mother stepped out of the elevator and coldly dropped a sentence, "Come with me tomorrow to collect everything." β
"Okay." Shen Qingzhao nodded.
"By the way, He Fanglin's house must not have paid the rent yet, right?"
Shen Qingzhao looked stunned, raised her head silently, and looked at her mother.
Her mother sat down on the sofa and glanced up at her again: "I remember that his house has always been a short-term rental, and it is paid once a month." This year, he changed it so that he could pay half a year's rent at a time, just like other tenants. β
Shen Qingzhao sneered after hearing this: "Usually it takes a lot of effort to let him pay a month's rent, do you think he can take out so much money at one time?" β
"He can't take it? His son should be able to take it. Her mother laughed, "That old gambler's ex-wife is rich." The monthly maintenance for my son is quite a lot. β
"If he really gave a lot of child support, how many jobs would his son have outside?" Shen Qingzhao didn't believe it at all, "You don't listen to those old men and old ladies talk nonsense." β
"I don't care, his father and son can't get the rent and get out together." Her mother said very cheerfully, "It just so happens that I don't want to rent it to He Fanglin." β
Shen Qingzhao didn't speak again.
She understood when she heard this.
What made He Fanglin pay half a year's rent...... Her mother just knew that He Fanglin couldn't afford it, so she changed direction and forced He Fanglin to take the initiative to leave.
"Do you know why I rushed back from the temple?" Her mother said, "The tenants' complaint calls all came to the temple, saying that He Fanglin had provoked loan sharks, and a group of people smashed the door and splashed paint in the middle of the night all day long, causing trouble in the whole building." β
Shen Qingzhao frowned slightly: "I've dealt with it once." β
"Once?" Her mother seemed to think she was amusing what she said, and repeated it before continuing, "I've gotten no less than five phone calls to complain. β
It turns out that after the day's trouble, loan sharks came to the door again?
He Fanglin's idiot must have owed a lot of money, and the loan sharks would be forced so tightly.
In case the loan sharks are in a hurry and engage in the repayment of the father's debts and the son's debts, what should He Sibai do?
Shen Qingzhao's thoughts turned back and forth in her mind, but her mother was unhurried, poured a glass of water, took a sip, and continued to muttered in a complaining tone: "He Fanglin rented early, and I have a good heart, so I haven't raised the price for his family in the past few years." It was originally not profitable, but now it also affects the lives of other tenants. Isn't that standing in my way? β
"The building is in a good location, so I don't have to worry about renting at all. If he can't pay it, let him go. The other tenants are clean, and I can earn more rent. β
Shen Qingzhao was still silent. She knew that her mother was not discussing or discussing with her, but was just telling her that the house where He Fanglin lived was going to have a new occupant.
Her mother is an authoritarian character, with a very good idea, and no one can change what she has made up her mind.
"I've been on the plane for hours, and I'm exhausted." Her mom stood up, "I'll go sleep for a while." Tomorrow morning, you accompany me to find He Fanglin and his son, and I have to criticize himβ"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden sound of the door unlocking being unlocked.
Shen Qingzhao was stunned for a moment, and went with her mother to follow the prestige-
He Sibai, who was carrying the vegetables, walked in, and while he skillfully changed into slippers, he put the dishes in the hallway.
Shen Qingzhao: ......?
Isn't he gone?
Shen Qing looked at the two piles of vegetables, and suddenly a vague memory flashed in his mind-
"Don't go to bed hungry." The boy's low voice passed through the wooden door, faintly entering her chaotic consciousness.
β¦β¦
It turned out that He Sibai didn't leave, but went to buy vegetables.
Unfortunately, she was about to fall asleep at the time, so she didn't remember what the boy said.
The three looked at each other.
No one spoke, and there was more inexplicable embarrassment in the air.
Shen Qingzhao smiled and sighed.
The meeting was too sudden.
Facing her mother's face full of questions, she waved her hand helplessly and introduced: "This is the tenant of your house, the son of the old gambler you just said, and the object of your 'criticism'." β
