The old man inspected it and left with satisfaction.

Erhua grabbed Xiaolin and asked, "What's going on? Do you know the owner of the department store?"

Xiaolin winked at him and said, "Secret!"

The little mermaid is so mysterious!

"I really can't tell that Xiaolin is the daughter of a department store!" Tang Jianming exclaimed.

"Hey, how did you know that?" Erhua was puzzled.

"Look how similar they are. Doesn't the boss have two dimples on his face too? They've just become wrinkles from age."

Erhua thought about it and it was true, but he thought that if it was his parents, the old man looked a little too old. But then he thought, aren’t Chunhua and his father very different?

It’s hard to tell whether they are father and daughter or grandfather and grandson.

It has been raining continuously recently. The gravel road has just dried up a little when a few drops of rain fall again. The day feels gloomy and uncomfortable.

There were few pedestrians outside and the department store was not crowded.

Maybe he was bored staying in the store all afternoon, and Xu Juanjuan showed up again at some point.

She swayed her round and thick waist, with an inappropriate shyness on her face, and Erhua got goose bumps all over his body.

It's too eye-catching!

"Oh my, it's getting musty. I haven't seen anyone all afternoon. Boss Liang, do you mind if I come sit with you?"

He asked the question, but in fact his butt had already crashed into a mahogany armchair. Erhua swallowed his saliva and secretly thanked himself for the good quality of his chair.

Needless to say, this chair is the closest to Tang Jianming.

"Sister Xu, we haven't even gotten off work yet. Aren't you afraid of being caught by your boss?" Erhua asked.

She cupped her cheek with her chubby hands, glanced at Tang Jianming, and said, "What are you afraid of? Some people ask for leave every day and the boss never scolds them."

Erhua was stunned. He understood the indirect criticism.

Tang Jianming brought out some melon seeds and tea from inside the house for her. She took the cup in one hand and the melon seeds in the other. Her little finger slid across Tang Jianming's rough palm, and the tears in her eyes almost spilled out when they encountered the gap.

"Xiao Tang, thank you, you are so thoughtful." Her cheeks were flushed and she lowered her head like a grown-up girl.

"Sister, Xiaolin is not here today?" Tang Jianming asked.

"Hey, she's been away for three days and two days, damn..." Xu Juanjuan suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing and changed her words, "If this little girl keeps going like this, she'll be fired by the boss."

Xu Juanjuan was a little nervous when she spoke. She didn't know what to do with her two chubby hands. Suddenly, she remembered the melon seeds Tang Jianming gave her, so she grabbed one and peeled it in her hand.

"I think Xiao Lin has something important to say. Don't take it too seriously. He can just complain to us." Tang Jianming said.

Erhua finally understood that Tang Jianming was warning Xu Juanjuan to stop always thinking about making things difficult for Xiao Lin and gossiping about Xiao Niangyu everywhere, because the entire department store belonged to the Lin family!

"...Yes, yes, we are colleagues, I won't tell anyone else." Xu Juanjuan responded, her face darkening.

"Xiao Tang, are you and Xiao Lin quite close?" she asked again.

"We are not familiar with each other. Erhua and Xiaolin are more familiar with each other." Tang Jianhua explained.

Xu Juanjuan looked up at Erhua, who nodded awkwardly, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. In short, Xu Juanjuan and Tang Jianming talking together was very uncomfortable, especially with her shy look.

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

Xiaolin came down from upstairs and Erhua noticed something was wrong.

When I first went up, it made a "pa dong, pa dong, pa dong dong" sound, and it jumped happily like a little rabbit.

Now it's coming down, bang! bang! bang! It's like a huge rock crashing down from above, making people feel uneasy.

She came down without saying a word, ran outside with her head down, and was stopped when she passed by Huatang Redwood.

"What's going on?" Erhua looked at her face. The crescent moon that was usually thin and curved was now red and full of tears.

"Wasn't it fine just now? What happened?"

Xiaolin bit his lower lip tightly and said nothing. Tang Jianming couldn't help but walked over and asked, "What's wrong with Xiaolin?"

Xu Juanjuan sat aside with a gloomy face.

"Miss, the boss asked you to go back." The martial artist also came down from upstairs.

Erhua and Tang Jianming had expected this name and of course did not react much, but Xu Juanjuan looked stunned and opened her mouth in shock.

Miss? What Miss? Xu Juanjuan couldn't help but wonder.

"I won't go back! If he doesn't agree, I won't go back!" Xiao Lin cried and ran out after saying this.

Xu Juanjuan couldn't help but come out and pulled Tang Jianming to ask, "Miss? Is he calling Xiaolin? When did she become a miss?" Her eyes rolled around and she added, "Could she have some hidden relationship with the owner of our building?"

Erhua rolled his eyes at her. Why couldn't this woman expect others to order something good?

"What are you talking about!" Erhua's tone was obviously angry.

Xu Juanjuan obviously shrank back when he yelled at her, and the hand she held on to Tang Jianhua even tighter.

"Why are you so fierce? I was just saying it casually!"

Erhua was furious: "Just saying it casually, how can you say that casually? You open your mouth and throw dirty water on the little mermaid? You should be more polite!"

He took another look at the fat hand that was clenched tightly on Tang Jianming's arm, then turned and went into the store.

"Sister, don't mind it. Erhua is just like that. He speaks his mind. But he is right. It's not good to say such things casually." Tang Jianming twitched his arm slightly, and Xu Juanjuan let go awkwardly.

"I was just saying it casually..." she stammered.

"Trouble comes from the mouth. Aren't you afraid of offending the boss by saying this? This Xiao Lin is of extraordinary status."

Xu Juanjuan was confused and asked, "Why is it unusual?"

"Maybe she's the eldest daughter of our department store!"

Tang Jianming spoke calmly, but it was a real shock to Xu Juanjuan. She groaned for a long time before uttering, "Yes, yes, yes, how could I have forgotten? I heard that the owner of the department store is also named Lin! Oh my! Why didn't I think of it earlier!"

Erhua went into the shop and packed up the tea and melon seeds, muttering to himself as he did so: "You have eyes on the top of your head, of course you didn't expect that! You won't even give a drop of water to a fat woman!"

After Xu Juanjuan left, Erhua couldn't help asking, "Cousin, what's going on with you?"

"What's going on? Are you talking about Xu Juanjuan?"

"You understand."

Tang Jianming said, "I never planned to go back to Tangli Village. Wouldn't it be nice to find a city girl here?"

"How can you two be a good match?"

Erhua was not anxious for the emperor, but the eunuchs were so anxious that they almost said: She is not even as pretty as Widow Zhang!

"Do you know anything about her? Do you understand her? Do you like her?"

Tang Jianming thought for a moment and said, "She told me before that I don't mind her being divorced and raising a seven-year-old child. It doesn't matter whether she likes me or not. As long as she can start a family again, that's all."
