Chapter 270 Why are you in arrears with the rent?
Is this the wrong address? Su Mei raised her head and looked at Mu Lan strangely. She couldn't help but ask:
“Is this your yard?”
"Yes, I bought it before the New Year and renovated it this year, so I have to wait until now to hold the banquet. I hope classmate Su can give me a favor?" Mu Lan stood in front of Su Mei with a gentle face.
Appreciate her face? Su Mei really didn't think Mu Lan had any face worthy of her appreciation.
Although most readers have forgotten who Mu Lan is, Su Mei still remembers that this woman was the one who openly and secretly mocked Su Mei for being ugly and fat when the college entrance examination results were announced.
From that time on, Su Mei and Mu Lan were destined not to be friends.
Su Mei was not interested in her Qiao Qianyan, but when she saw the address above...Su Mei nodded:
"I will go."
"Thank you for your visit!" Mu Lan smiled and looked at the other students in the class, "Classmates, Su has also agreed to go with us tonight. She is busy with experiments and studies every day and doesn't participate in our group activities very often.
Students who want to get to know Su should seize this opportunity. "
"You have nothing else to do, right?" Su Mei looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan nodded: "It's okay!"
"Then don't stand in front of my desk, thank you!" She was dressed up like a male peacock courting a mate, which was quite eye-catching.
Soon the bell for class rang and Qin Zhengfeng walked into the office.
The first class is a class meeting, the main content of which is to determine the class monitor, the Youth League Committee and other class cadres.
Su Mei was not interested in these things. She lay on the table in a daze, as if she had nothing to do with it.
A day goes by in a flash.
Soon it was time to go home from school.
Because they were going to attend Mulan's relocation party, almost half of the class gathered together and headed towards the yard behind the school.
"Mulan, you bought this house behind the school. It must have cost you a lot of money, right?" A girl asked Mulan while walking on the road.
The girl's name is Shen Yuqi, and she is Mu Lan's little follower.
Mu Lan heard her words and responded, "It's not expensive, just say 8,000 yuan, it's an ordinary courtyard. Anyway, I'm the only one in Yanjing, so it's enough for me to live in."
A yard worth less than 8,000 yuan? Su Mei thought about it and felt that her own yard worth less than 2,000 yuan was definitely not worth the money.
Maybe Mulan just filled in the wrong address on the invitation.
With doubts in her mind, Su Mei followed the crowd and left the school.
The alley behind the school was very long and winding. Every time Su Mei turned a corner, she felt closer to her own yard.
When Mu Lan stopped, Su Mei looked at the courtyard wall in front of her and widened her eyes in disbelief.
This yard is indeed hers.
However, the originally mottled courtyard wall was painted snow-white, the peeling gate was painted vermilion, the lock was replaced with a brand new one, the door frame and threshold were replaced, and the original stone under the door frame was removed and replaced with a patterned marble floor.
If Su Mei didn't remember the location of her house clearly, she would even suspect that she had gone to the wrong place. This place is now completely new and there is no trace of its previous appearance at all.
When Mu Lan opened the door, the scene inside the yard refreshed Su Mei's understanding of this yard.
All the vegetables in the yard were pulled out and replaced with various flowers and plants. Flower beds were built and grape racks were built.
There is a swing under the grape trellis.
The exterior of the house has also been renovated. The windows have been replaced with the most popular printed glass, white curtains are hung inside, and beautiful curtains are hung on the doors.
It was a leisurely and carefree scene of petty bourgeoisie, even more beautiful than the yard where Su Mei lived now.
New furniture was added to the house, and even a TV was put in it.
"Mulan, you are so rich. Your house is so beautiful." Zhao Yuqi walked around the yard and went into the house to turn on the TV.
Su Meixin thought, he was quite rich, but he spent all his money on decoration, so he had no money left to pay her rent.
There were so many people that there were not enough benches at home, so the students squeezed together and sat on the edge of the flower bed in the yard.
After everyone was arranged, Mu Lan brought out a few plates of candy from the house and distributed them to the people sitting in the yard.
She gave each person a handful of candy, and when it was Su Mei's turn, she grabbed two handfuls and handed them to Su Mei.
Su Mei didn't answer. She looked up and asked Mu Lan, "Why did you give me an extra handful? What does that mean?"
"You came from the mountains, so you shouldn't have the chance to eat this kind of candy, right? This candy is delicious. You can take a few. It's hard to do experiments, but it can also satisfy your craving!" After saying that, Mu Lan was about to put the candy into Su Mei's hand again.
A boy nearby heard what Mu Lan said and asked her, "Who told you that Su Mei came from the mountains? Isn't her family rich?
Su Mei doesn't even live in a dormitory. She rents a house outside. Renting a house in Yanjing is very expensive. How could her family be out of money?"
"No." Zhao Yuqi immediately took over the boy's words, she glanced at Su Mei, and then said, "Su Mei's family doesn't have much money, and the village gave her money for the travel expenses to go to college.
As a person, you should not be too vain. You are so lavish with money and you rent a house in Yanjing. If the villagers knew about it, they would be so disappointed. "
"No way?" Some people didn't believe that Su Mei was such a person and questioned, "How do you know this?"
"I... accidentally saw the letter Su Mei wrote to her man last year. She said it herself in the letter, saying that when she left the village, the whole village saw her off, and some villagers even gave her their pocket money so that she could have a good meal in Yanjing.
She said she was moved, but she ended up renting a house in Yanjing, eating and drinking lavishly, and wearing clothes that we, Mulan, had never seen before. We had no idea what she was doing." Zhao Yuqi said this, rolling her eyes at Su Mei with disdain.
After saying this, Mu Lan stepped out like a peacemaker: "Yuqi, stop talking. Today is my relocation party. Don't say things that make people unhappy.
I think Su Mei definitely didn't rent a house just for the sake of enjoying life. After all, she is a good student, so she must have rented a house to live in just to have a good learning environment. Yuqi, don't make assumptions about Su Mei."
Su Mei: “……….”
Is she vain? She sat in her own house, listening to Mu Lan bragging about her house as if it were something she was showing off, without saying a single word to expose her. Is this what you call her vain?
Originally, Su Mei said that she wanted to save face for Mu Lan. After all, she was her tenant. As long as she paid the rent later, she would not care about Mu Lan's vanity as a little girl.
But it is not enough for her to just show off, she also has to pull herself out and step on her feet to highlight her perfection, showing off her ridiculous sense of superiority, and even secretly reading the letter she wrote to Huo Jianguo. Then there is no need for her to keep this face for Mu Lan.
Mu Lan wanted to lose face herself. Su Mei glanced at Mu Lan subtly, threw the candy back to her plate, and then suddenly stood up and asked in a joking tone:
"Mulan, since you are so rich, why do you owe the rent?"
