"What are you doing here?" Ye Lan asked in a very unpleasant tone.
She was no different from before, with a body like a stick, a pale and bloodless face, and no femininity whatsoever from head to toe.
However, compared to her previous timidity, Ye Lan is now more confident, probably because she has been working at the hotel for several months.
But it's still just as detestable as ever!
"Of course I need to talk to you. By the way, have you eaten strawberries?"
Ye Lan found Ye Qingqing's abrupt question very strange. "Did she come all this way to ask me if I ate strawberries? Is she out of her mind?"
Ye Lan felt very uncomfortable because she didn't get to eat any strawberries. Yesterday, when she went to the fruit shop, she saw many big, red strawberries, but the price made her hesitate.
A pound of strawberries costs over twenty yuan (fabricated, please do not verify), and her monthly salary is only a few hundred yuan, how could she afford to eat them?
But Ye Lan's favorite food is strawberries, especially strawberries at this time of year. Shen Yanhong used to say that she doesn't eat them when they're cheap, but insists on eating them when they're most expensive.
But despite saying that, every year during the first month of the lunar calendar, Shen Yanhong would buy a pound of food for her and Ye Hua, no matter how expensive it was.
Ye Lan felt a pang of sadness; her mother was still the best to her!
I wonder how my mother is doing inside?
But the heartache was only momentary. Soon Ye Lan hardened her heart and even felt a bit disgusted with Shen Yanhong.
Ever since the incident at home, her colleagues have been gossiping behind her back, saying that she is the daughter of a prisoner, and Lu Qingquan's parents have become increasingly disdainful of her!
Ye Lan originally wanted to spend New Year's Eve at Lu Qingquan's house, but as soon as she mentioned it, Lu Qingquan refused, giving a bunch of reasons, but it was actually because his parents didn't like her.
Ye Lanxin felt a pang of sadness. She would be turning 20 in less than a month. A few days ago, she had deliberately reminded Lu Qingquan, but he hadn't made any move, and hadn't even taken her home for a meal yet.
The more Ye Lan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She had no desire to deal with Ye Qingqing anymore and said impatiently, "What business is it of yours whether I eat strawberries or not? If you have nothing to say, get out of here. I have to go to work!"
Ye Qingqing could tell at a glance that Ye Lan was all bark and no bite and hadn't actually eaten the strawberry.
As Lu Qingquan's fiancée, she didn't even send him strawberries, which shows how little Lu Qingquan cares about Ye Lan now!
"Wow, the strawberries this year are so big and sweet, they're especially delicious! I just ate so many. By the way, do you know who bought the strawberries I ate?"
Ye Qingqing's expression was exaggerated. In fact, strawberries nowadays are all grown in greenhouses, so how could they possibly have the sweetness of naturally ripened ones? She just wanted to deliberately provoke Ye Lan.
Ye Lan gritted her teeth, "I don't care who bought it, just get out of here!"
As she spoke, she pushed Sang Yeqing, feeling incredibly bitter. In the past, when Shen Yanhong bought strawberries, she would secretly give them to Ye Hua, and Ye Qingqing never got to eat a single one.
But now...
What goes around comes around, and now she's the one who can't get the strawberries!
When she gets paid this month, she's determined to buy strawberries and eat them; she has to prove herself right!
"It's your good brother Lu Qingquan. He bought a huge box, five or six pounds of it. We can't even finish eating it all..."
Ye Qingqing's words made Ye Lanxin's heart sink, and she couldn't believe her ears.
Why would Lu Qingquan buy strawberries for this brat?
"Don't talk nonsense in front of me, get out of here!" Ye Lan pushed hard, but her heart was in a panic.
