Chapter 42
The next morning, Luo Jing went out stealthily.
He came to the house he had seen online. As he walked along, he was very satisfied with the surrounding environment. The price offered by the landlord was already very low for such a geographical location. Fortunately, he contacted the landlord as soon as possible, otherwise such a good house would have fallen into the hands of someone else.
The landlord was a woman who looked a little tired. She was sitting on a chair on the first floor. When she saw someone coming in, she immediately became alert, but returned to normal after seeing a strange face.
Luo Jing was the first to greet: "Hello, my last name is Luo." He was not sure whether this woman was the landlord he had called.
Hearing this, the landlord stood up and said, "Hello, I'm Tang Jia."
The two had already talked on the phone last night and agreed on the price. Today, Luo Jing mainly came to take a look at the specific conditions of the house.
From the first floor to the second floor, and from the second floor to the first floor.
Looking at the empty, simply decorated house, Luo Jing was puzzled but didn't ask. Tang Jia felt a little embarrassed and was about to explain when he heard Luo Jing say, "That's great. When do I sign the contract?"
His straightforwardness caught Tang Jia off guard. "It can be done today." Then, realizing he looked a little too anxious, he quickly explained, "I've brought all the necessary documents. Don't worry."
After saying that, she tucked the hair that had fallen on her face due to anxiety behind her ears, looked up at Luo Jing, and showed a timid smile.
After signing the lease contract, Luo Jing took a photo and sent it to Yan Qing.
This doesn't count as acting first and reporting later, right?
After finishing everything, Luo Jing got the key and prepared to leave. As soon as he locked the door, he heard someone arguing behind him.
When I turned around, it was Tang Jia.
He walked forward and asked, "What's going on?" Thinking of the fact that he was cheated a few days ago, Luo Jing wanted to punch himself. Why didn't he learn his lesson?
Tang Jia was very embarrassed: "It's okay, you can go first. If you have any questions later, just contact me."
"Do you want me to call the police?" He saw that these people were coming for Tang Jia and was a little worried.
The leader looked Luo Jing up and down, then looked at Tang Jia with contempt, "Is this your new hookup? She doesn't look like she has much money, does she?"
"Wang Changyuan, stop talking nonsense!" Tang Jia stood between the two of them and glanced back at Luo Jing. "You go first."
Being urged like this, Luo Jing couldn't say anything even though he wanted to help.
He walked a few steps and looked back at Tang Jia. He saw that she was confronting the man with her neck stiff. Many passers-by looked at the two of them, and some stopped to watch the fun.
Yan Qing's message had arrived on the phone. Luo Jing guessed what she said without even clicking on it. The most urgent thing was to calm Yan Qing's furious mood.
After returning to the B&B, I knocked on Yan Qing’s door.
After a moment, the door opened. Yan Qing stood in front of the door, staring at the person outside with an expressionless face: "What are you doing here?"
There was dissatisfaction in his tone.
He was just cheated yesterday, and today he actually dared to go out and rent a house alone, and signed the contract without telling her. She couldn't control this Luo Jing anymore.
Before Luo Jing could explain, Yan Qing continued, "I've already told your sister. She'll be here tomorrow. Just wait."
Hearing that Zhou Mingshu was coming, Luo Jing panicked visibly: "What did you say to her?"
"No comment."
After saying that, she took a step back and slammed the door shut.
It's over.
Luo Jing stood at the door with his hands on his head. At this moment, he really wanted to roar to the sky.
Ming Xu stood in the corridor, looking at the man at the door of Yan Qing's room. He was stunned for a few seconds, then turned and left, throwing the thing in his hand to the aunt who was cleaning: "Throw it away."
What is their relationship? Mingxu got in the car and drove towards the company.
He had wanted to use juice to ease the relationship between the two in the morning, but he didn't expect to see this scene. He didn't hear clearly what the two said, but he only saw that Yan Qing was very angry. They must have had a quarrel.
Just as I was daydreaming, Mingli called: "You are late today."
"Something's going on."
Mingli lay in the soft cup, feeling relaxed. He could hear the irritation in his brother's tone, but he ignored it. "Unhappy? Did you have a fight?"
"Are you free?"
"yes."
"Then go to work."
Mingli didn't want to. It had only been two days, and they wanted him to stay in jail. He didn't want to: "Dad said I can rest for a while, you have to work harder during this time." After that, Mingli decided to enlighten his brother. After all, working with a bad mood would reduce work efficiency. He also didn't want his lovely employee to be scared by Mingxu. "Don't let your imagination run wild. Ask if you want to know."
"What do you know now?"
"Although I don't know, I can hear it. Listen to me and be bolder. Okay, I'm done. Don't look so gloomy and scare my employees. Be nice to them. I'll treat everyone to milk tea later. In your name, don't let anything slip." After saying that, he hung up the phone.
It was such a beautiful morning, and Mingli didn't want to be affected by his brother's bad mood.
Yan Qing had just closed the door when Zhou Mingshu called.
She had just arrived at the airport and was almost late for her flight: "I just boarded the plane, and this brat doesn't listen to anyone anymore. I'm so pissed off."
Yan Qing was very cautious: "You didn't tell your parents?"
"No, no, if I tell them, the two of them can get on the plane to Haicheng right now. Don't worry, it's about to take off. Don't tell him that I'm here today."
Sitting at the computer, Yan Qing looked at the contract that Luo Jing had sent her. She had read many contracts over the years and read them carefully from beginning to end. There was nothing wrong with it. She also checked the house. It had been listed with an agency for a while. She even called the agency to inquire, and the agency did not hide anything. "The man said he would not rent it out for the time being, so he took the house off the market. Maybe he thought the agency fee was too expensive. But Miss Tang is a good person. She worked in our company for a while before resigning."
Thinking of this, she stood up and prepared to go out.
When they arrived at the address of the house, the door was locked. Yan Qing went to the convenience store next door to ask, but the cashier was new and didn't know much about it.
Mingxu went to the company, but he was not in the mood to work. He looked at a few documents and then sat in a chair in a daze.
After thinking for a moment, he sent a message to Yan Qing.
[Ming Xu]: Do you want to have dinner together tonight?
Yan Qing was investigating the surrounding area. When he saw the news about Ming Xu, he wanted to refuse, but when he thought of Luo Jing's matter, he agreed.
Neither of them likes barbecue, so they met at the barbecue restaurant where they first met.
After receiving Yan Qing's affirmative answer, Ming Xu thought of his elder brother's words. Although he always felt that Ming Li was unreliable, he had to admit that a bystander could see things more clearly, and Ming Li could always give him a good idea at critical moments.
Like now.
Yan Qing returned to the B&B and began to busy herself with her work. She had already started saving the new article, and Director Zhou's work had also begun to resume. Now that Luo Jing had encountered these problems again, fortunately Zhou Mingshu was coming and could assign Luo Jing's affairs to her.
After receiving Yan Qing's message, Luo Jing was still upset. He returned to his room and deeply reflected on his behavior. It was indeed inappropriate. Fortunately, Tang Jia was not a liar.
But he didn't dare to make a clear determination.
Thinking of this, and remembering that Zhou Mingshu would be coming tomorrow, Luo Jing became a little panicked and wanted to escape.
From childhood to adulthood, Zhou Mingshu was like a devil to him, and she was very good at ordering him around.
In the past, Zhou Mingshu and Luo Jing lived next door to each other. At home, he was her most proud servant, and outside, he was her most obedient younger brother. Until junior high school, when they entered the same school, their relationship became even stronger, and he also had a second older brother - Yan Qing.
But Yan Qing was different. She never told Luo Jing to do anything. Even small things like running errands to buy water after class were done by herself.
If he had a choice, Luo Jing would prefer his sister Yan Qing because she would never lose her temper with him.
Luo Jing was still very surprised when he received the message from Yan Qing saying that they would have dinner together in the evening. He thought she was angry, but he didn't expect that she would still ask her friends about the house.
It was almost time to get off work. If Mingli hadn't explicitly forbidden leaving early, Mingxu would have slipped away long ago.
When they arrived at the place they had agreed to meet, Yan Qing hadn't arrived yet. She said Zhou Mingshu was here and wanted to take her to dinner. Mingxu had no objection, as it was said online that pleasing a girlfriend's best friend was also a key skill. Although Yang Mingzhou had said that Zhou Mingshu seemed to be a fan of the couple he and Yan Qing were looking for, Mingxu had no objection.
Luo Jing was waiting for Yan Qing in the lobby, but suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to bring something. When he came out, he saw Zhou Mingshu chatting and laughing in the elevator.
Looking at Zhou Mingshu, he stood at the elevator entrance, completely petrified.
Zhou Mingshu didn't expect to see this disobedient cousin so soon. She thought that their first meeting would be at a barbecue restaurant.
Yan Qing stood in the corner, watching the two of them in a state of excitement. She ignored Luo Jing's gaze and sent a message to Ming Xu, but she didn't expect that he had already arrived.
"What are you standing there for? Come in." Zhou Mingshu's good expression disappeared when he saw Luo Jing.
You can't blame her for this. I didn't expect this kid to be so bold as to disappear. Now that he has finally come back, he has been cheated again. He doesn't learn his lesson after being cheated.
Yan Qing came out at the right time to ease the atmosphere: "Let's go quickly, everyone is waiting here."
"Who?" Luo Jing asked, and was glared at by Zhou Mingshu.
Ming Xu saw the three people as soon as they entered the room. He raised his hand to greet Yan Qing and also greeted Zhou Mingshu who was next to her. But when the third person appeared behind him, Ming Xu's face suddenly turned cold.
Luo Jing didn't notice and pulled out the chair next to him and sat down.
Ming Xu: "What is this?"
Zhou Mingshu: "Luo Jing, my cousin, just came back, Brother Meiqiu, I finally met my idol."
The waiter came over to deliver free snacks. Mingxu asked Yan Qing to order, but Yan Qing asked Zhou Mingshu to order. Luo Jing, who was standing by, was eager to try: "Sister, let me see."
"What are you looking at, kid? Do you know what people in China are eating now?"
Luo Jing shook his head. His sister was right. It would be bad if he ordered something unpalatable. "Then you order it, sister."
After ordering the dishes, Zhou Mingshu signaled Luo Jing to pour water for everyone. After all, the main reason for looking for Mingxu today was because of Luo Jing's matter. Yan Qing originally planned to look for her uncle, but her family was familiar with Zhou Mingshu's family. If Yan Zheng knew about it, it meant that Zhou Mingshu's parents could no longer hide it.
"The brat just came back and encountered something like this. My parents will definitely be anxious and angry if they find out. If my grandparents find out, it will be even more terrible."
Yan Qing understood, and after much thought, he looked for the Ming preface.
Ming Xu looked at the water cup in front of him and got straight to the point: "I've checked that house. There's no problem. The owner is Tang Jia. She used to run a flower shop. Later, after breaking off the engagement with her fiancé, he brought people here every day to cause trouble, so the flower shop closed down."
"Brother Meiqiu, how do you know all this?" Zhou Ming thought Mingxu had done something to pry into other people's privacy.
Ming Xu was somewhat helpless: "You'll know if you ask around."
Luo Jing was thoughtful on the side: "So that man is her fiancé?"
"What man?"
"That day, after I signed the contract, I saw a man flirting with her. He thought I was Sister Tang's boyfriend."
Zhou Mingshu was a little worried: "I think these two people are entangled in something. What if your store goes bankrupt one day? Why not move to another place?"
Her worries are not unfounded.
"Sister, don't worry. There's a police station next to us. That guy wouldn't dare to cause trouble near the police station." Luo Jing didn't care.
Ming Xu didn't say anything and looked at Yan Qing. What the two were talking about seemed to have nothing to do with her. It seemed that she was overthinking it.
"Now that you're back, live a good life. Find a girlfriend and live a good life. Stop thinking about all sorts of things all the time and making everyone worry."
