Chapter 21 Soaking in Water at Home
Summer is over and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Yu Huan began to look forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Last time, with the vouchers worth several thousand yuan, she bought a lot of things that she had wanted to buy but hadn't been able to afford before, and she was happy for a long time.
This time, she was looking forward to getting vouchers or discount coupons or something like that.
However, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, something big happened in her family.
In the morning, after the family of three went out to work, the kitchen pipe suddenly burst and quickly flooded the house.
When Yu's father and mother came home from get off work, the house had been flooded beyond recognition and the residents downstairs had come up to them.
This house is older than Yu Huan, and the decoration is decades old. After being soaked like this, the floors are all damaged.
Fortunately, the decoration downstairs was simpler and there was no wallpaper, so no compensation was required.
When Yu Huan got the news, he was accompanying Meng Han to a meeting.
At the marketing planning meeting for the next quarter, Meng Han was not satisfied with any of the plans put forward by the marketing department. The meeting, which was originally scheduled to be completed in one hour, had not been completed for three hours.
Meng Han had no intention of letting everyone go. It was obvious that everyone would have to work overtime together unless they submitted a plan that satisfied him. He also asked Yu Huan to order food so that everyone could have dinner and think about it slowly.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy and everyone looked unhappy.
Yu Huan couldn't empathize with everyone. She really liked working overtime, and Meng Han gave her very generous overtime pay.
After ordering everyone's meals and waiting for them to be delivered, she received a call from home.
When I saw the note, my heart subconsciously tightened, and then I quickly connected.
"Mother?"
"Something happened at home. Where are you? Come back quickly!"
Hearing Yu Ma's anxious tone, Yu Huan couldn't help but become nervous.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"The water pipe burst and soaked all the floors in my house!"
It wasn't a disaster. She took a deep breath and said softly, "I'm still in a meeting and can't leave. You and Dad can clean up first if you can. If not, wait until I get back from get off work."
As soon as the words fell, thunder exploded in my ears. "Your home is almost gone, and you're still attending that crappy class! Can that crappy class let you buy a house or give you a new home? You're already an adult, and you still rely on your parents for everything. This house is still yours. If you don't take care of it, who will? Come back here now!"
Yu Ma's sharp voice came from the phone, and Meng Han just came out of the office.
I don’t know if he heard it clearly.
Yu Huan was a little embarrassed. She didn't want others to know that the way she got along with her parents was so terrible. She quickly replied, "I know," and hung up the phone.
With a smile on her face, she looked at Meng Han, "Mr. Meng."
Meng Han's gaze first fell on her face, then slid down to her hand. The fingers holding the phone pressed so hard that clear meridians appeared under the back of her hand.
It's very abrupt and glaring.
He retracted his gaze and looked at Yu Huan's face again, not missing the embarrassment in her eyes.
He didn't ask any more questions, "If there is something going on at home, you can leave first."
Yu Huan felt a little embarrassed, but at the same time she was very grateful to Meng Han for not asking too many questions and leaving her some dignity.
"Thank you, Mr. Meng. I've already ordered the meal, which will be delivered in about ten minutes. Then... I'll be leaving first."
"Thank you for your hard work. Be careful on the road."
After saying goodbye to Meng Han, Yu Huan quickly left the company with her bag.
She didn't even have time to think about how much Meng Han had heard and whether he would look at her strangely, before the phone from home rang again.
She kept pressing the elevator door close button until the elevator closed, isolating her from the outside world and trapping her in this small elevator, and then she answered the phone.
"Are you coming back or not? You've grown cocky after working for a few days, haven't you? You think you're so great after getting that little salary, and you don't listen to what I say, right? If you're like this, I'll quit your job and stay home, and don't even think about going anywhere!"
Yu Huan tilted his head back and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. When he opened his eyes, his eyes were full of resignation and compromise.
"I'm on my way back."
There was no apology for being misunderstood, nor any attitude of easing up. What was waiting for her were still only cold orders and a hung up phone call.
Leaning against the elevator wall, she felt the familiar feeling of suffocation that she hadn't felt in a long time.
She had thought that she had gotten used to it and become numb over the years, and would no longer feel uncomfortable or painful because of these things.
But she still overestimated herself.
Perhaps it was the freedom during this period that made her taste the sweetness and made her look forward to her life again?
still...
The look Meng Han gave her just now made her numb heart tighten again.
She didn't know and had no time to find out why.
She rushed home as quickly as possible. When she opened the door, Yu's father and mother were sitting on the sofa with gloomy faces. When they saw her come back, they spoke angrily.
"You're back now! Look at what the house looks like now!"
Yu Huan put the bag away and quickly checked the situation at home.
After a checkup, she felt relieved that the situation was not as serious as her mother said.
Apart from the floors in the kitchen, living room and her parents' room being soaked, the only thing damaged was the refrigerator in the kitchen. The rest of the furniture and appliances were fine.
Back in the living room, "You guys go and rest first, I'll clean up. I'll ask someone to come and see how to fix the floor tomorrow."
Yu Ma stamped her foot, and her slippers made a sound of water stains. "How can I sleep in such a wet place? What kind of life is this for me? I can't even live a peaceful day. I can't count on anyone!"
Yu Huan took out his phone and said, "I've booked a room nearby. You two can sleep outside tonight."
"Get a room, get a room! You have too much money to burn!" Yu's mother stood up and walked into the bedroom, muttering to herself. A few minutes later, she came out dragging a box.
"Your dad and I will stay at your grandparents' house tonight. Don't go to work tomorrow. Find a carpenter to take a look and fix up the house first!"
Without waiting for Yu Huan's reply, the couple slammed the door and left after giving the order, as if Yu Huan was the culprit who had messed up the house.
Yu Huan was neither angry nor annoyed. Instead, she felt relieved.
It would be better if they went out, so she could have some peace and quiet.
Rolling up her sleeves, she began to clean.
It is said that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes singly. Tonight, Yu Huan thoroughly experienced what it means to be extremely unlucky.
Just as she finished cleaning up the last bit of hygiene and opened the closet door to take out her clothes to take a shower, the unused items that had been placed safely on top of the closet for many years suddenly fell down and hit Yu Huan heavily in the face.
She subconsciously raised her hand to block it, but the thing hit her arm, causing her to burst into tears due to the severe pain.
My arm suddenly turned red.
