Two days passed like this.
Li Hanting still didn't send anyone to pick up Li Jinchen, which made Xia Yunxi wonder if he didn't want his son anymore?
However, even though he had this thought, he thought it was impossible. Li Hanting had clearly stated that Li Jinchen was being trained as the successor to the Li Group. This definition was no longer as simple as just being Li Hanting's son.
Early this morning.
After Xia Yunxi got up, she didn't wake up the two children. She quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs for breakfast.
Winter is getting closer and closer. I heard that it will snow in the next two days, but I don’t know if it’s true?
Jiangcheng is located at the junction of the south and the north. In previous years, when the temperature dropped sharply, we could see snowfall.
However, the snowfall in Xia Yunxi's memory was when her mother was still alive.
I haven’t seen any snow in the following years, after all, the temperature was rising.
Just as I was about to line up at the pancake shop downstairs, I heard a lewd voice: "How do you feel about living here? Are you used to it? Nancy, let me tell you, this place is one of the best in our neighborhood. If there's anything you're not used to, just tell me and I'll help you."
When Xia Yunxi turned around, she saw two people standing on the green belt downstairs. One of them was the landlord who had always been malicious towards her.
The other girl, who looked about her age, had a cold expression and her tone was as cold as ice: "Get out of the way."
"Don't be impatient. Where did you go if you didn't go home tonight? Girls nowadays all love to play. Are you the same as those girls?" Not only did the landlord not move away, he even took a step closer.
Nancy frowned slightly, and just when she was about to explode, a crisp sound was heard not far away.
"What does it have to do with you whether they go home or not? You are such a nosy landlord. You control people's personal freedom even though they rent your house, don't you?" Xia Yunxi felt sick when she saw that the landlord had obviously impure motives.
My determination to find a new house became even stronger.
She walked down the stairs and came to the landlord. Seeing the cunning light in his eyes, she suppressed her discomfort and turned back to the girl and said, "Have you rented his house? Don't be fooled by him. He is not the landlord."
Xia Yunxi implicitly wanted to remind the girl not to be like him, who foolishly opened the door when someone knocked on it.
"Hey, how dare you talk like that? If I'm not the landlord, who is? Let me tell you, little girl, my name is on the house you rented." After hearing what Xia Yunxi said, the landlord was unhappy.
Xia Yunxi sneered, "Does it have anything to do with me?"
"You..." the landlord was about to say something else.
The woman named Nancy pulled Xia Yunxi and said, "Forget it. There's no need to bother with such a person."
"Hey, little girl, you've made it clear what kind of person I am." The landlord not only did not restrain himself, but also continued to pester her.
This attracted the attention of the old men and women who were queuing to buy pancakes not far away.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to scam me?" Xia Yunxi got angry when he was stopped.
"Scam? You?" The landlord said disdainfully, "You're so young, yet you don't know how to behave yourself. You brought a man into the house in the middle of the night. I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you're accusing me of scamming. I'm telling you, I won't rent this house to you anymore."
"What did you say?" Xia Yunxi's face turned cold.
"What did you do? Are you afraid of what people will say? Ask the whole neighborhood. Everyone knows that you, a young girl, are flirting with an old man, and yet you turn around and slander me." The landlord said viciously.
He even seemed to be worried that others couldn't hear him, so he shouted loudly on purpose, just to ruin Xia Yunxi's reputation.
Xia Yunxi narrowed her eyes: "Where did you hear that?"
"I saw it with my own eyes, where else should I go to ask?" The landlord's fat face showed an undisguised look of contempt.
Nancy sensed something was wrong and she pulled Xia Yunxi back. After all, she was being harassed by the man who claimed to be the landlord, and it was Xia Yunxi who stood up and spoke for her.
However, Nancy frowned at the landlord's expression and was about to stand up and say something.
Then I heard the woman next to me say in a gentle voice, without any emotion or even anger: "Really?"
The landlord was about to speak again when Xia Yunxi said lightly, "Do you know that if you insult others casually, I can call the police and sue you?"
The landlord wanted to say more, but Xia Yunxi didn't allow him to speak. "Not to mention the nonsense you said, just spreading rumors, you—I can put you in jail for a few days."
"Oh, who's afraid of who? You're threatening me. Just ask around. Everyone in the neighborhood knows you're involved with an old man. That man listens to you in the security office every day. How can you be a bitch and still want to be a saint? You really disgust me."
"From now on, move out of the house immediately, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
The landlord said this viciously and turned away.
Those who were left in the community, deliberately slowing down their pace to listen to the gossip, looked at each other in confusion.
After all, looking at the girl who was scolded by the landlord, she didn't seem like someone with bad manners, but everyone is curious about gossip.
After the landlord left, Nancy looked at the woman beside her worriedly: "Are you okay?"
Xia Yunxi came back to her senses and shook her head: "It's okay."
Then he turned around and walked towards the pancake shop.
Seeing this, Nancy hesitated for half a second and then followed.
Xia Yunxi, who heard the footsteps, turned around and saw her, with confusion in her eyes.
Nancy explained, "It just so happens that I didn't have breakfast either."
Xia Yunxi nodded in understanding: "You worked overtime last night, right?"
"Yeah," Nancy responded, then looked at Xia Yunxi: "Thank you for what you did just now."
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake."
"Don't take the landlord's words to heart. He doesn't look like a good person." Nancy comforted him with a sneer.
"Pfft." This caused Xia Yunxi to burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Nancy looked at her blankly, and Xia Yunxi quickly said, "I'm sorry, I just felt that you gave people a cold feeling at first glance, but as soon as you opened your mouth, it was a little different."
"You mean, it's damaged our image?" Nancy didn't mind.
This time, Xia Yunxi looked at her seriously. The girl was very fair, with delicate features and long, shoulder-length hair. She was clearly dressed in a low-key, cheap black and gray outfit, but it somehow suppressed her girl-next-door vibe, and a hint of coolness and aloofness emanated from her.
"Hello, my name is Xia Yunxi." Xia Yunxi took the initiative to introduce herself.
"Nancy."
