Chapter 213: Can’t Lose
"Does she know about my current situation?" Song Lehan asked Ji Shuyu.
Ji Shuyu nodded and said, "Well, the uncle and aunt's affairs have been reported in the news, it's hard for Sister Momo not to know about it."
Song Lehan's eyes darkened and he lowered his head.
Her parents' affairs have been on the news.
That's right...
"Sister Lele, don't be sad, at least you still have us." Ji Shuyu comforted her kindly.
After the variety show ended, Ji Shuyu would contact Song Lehan, Su Mobai, and the others every few days. Later, Song Lehan completely cut off contact with the outside world, so Ji Shuyu should have contacted Su Mobai more often.
Originally, as Xu Jiangcuo's rival, Ji Shuyu's relationship with him should have been quite bad. Unexpectedly, after appearing on a variety show, they were marketed as "friendly half-siblings." This popularity also allowed the Jixu Group to be seen by even more people.
Xu Jiangcuo's father and Ji Shuyu's mother took advantage of the popularity of the relationship and had the two attend a banquet together, presenting a harmonious and loving image to the public. This publicity led to several more collaborations for them.
After more interactions, Ji Shuyu finally felt that Xu Jiangcuo was not as annoying as she had imagined.
At least, sometimes he did take care of her, a bit like a brother.
Anyway, her mother is still in charge of the company, so Ji Shuyu will not argue with Xu Jiangcuo for the time being.
For Song Lehan's sake, Ji Shuyu chose to get along harmoniously with Xu Jiangcuo for a while.
We’ll talk about the future later.
"Sister Lele, you can live in this villa without worry." Xu Jiangcuo and Ji Shuyu had previously talked about what Song Lehan was worried about now, and today Ji Shuyu came here to enlighten her.
"I bought this villa a long time ago, and I haven't lived in it much since it was renovated. So, feel free to live here and don't be embarrassed."
Song Lehan raised his head and looked at Ji Shuyu, "So this is your house."
She always thought that this was Xu Jiangcuo's house.
"Yeah, that's right." Ji Shuyu smiled and nodded, "I'm free anyway, so Sister Lele, you can stay wherever you want."
Ji Shuyu is very generous.
Song Lehan: "That's really troublesome for you."
Ji Shuyu: "You're welcome, good sister!"
After a while, Ji Shuyu's phone rang. She just glanced at it, didn't answer it, and was ready to leave the next second.
Song Lehan saw Ji Shuyu off and returned to his room.
Xu Jiangcuo bought her a new phone and re-issued her old SIM card. During the days she disappeared, apart from a few messages in the advertising group and a few messages from Ji Shuyu, Su Mobai, and Lu Shiyu, there was no other news.
Song Lehan took out his phone, found Zhang Zhiya’s WeChat, and clicked on it.
The chat history inside is empty, there is nothing.
After thinking about it, Song Lehan opened the dialog box, typed a line of words and sent it out.
[Mom, I'm ready to start a new life, please cheer me on.]
After sending the message, Song Lehan subconsciously waited for the message from the other party. When he realized that he would never receive a reply again, Song Lehan lowered his head and sighed.
After turning off his phone, Song Lehan picked up the small calendar beside the bed. There were still fifteen days left.
Fifteen days later, her contract with Jiang Yue came to an end.
Song Lehan completely got rid of Jiang Yue.
Putting down the calendar, she began to think about what to do next.
Making use of every possible relationship, Song Lehan cannot lose again no matter what.
—
When Xu Jiangcuo came back, it was already very late.
He didn't live here, but he would come here every day after work to see Song Lehan. He would stay with her for a while, even if he didn't say a few words. Then, when the time was almost up, he would drive away.
It’s actually quite tiring to go through this cycle over and over again.
So, Song Lehan specially cooked a sumptuous dinner tonight.
As soon as Xu Jiangcuo entered the door, he smelled the fragrance of food.
Following the aroma, he came to the restaurant.
Just then, Song Lehan came out of the kitchen, holding the freshly fried shredded pork with fish flavor. Seeing Xu Jiangcuo coming over, Song Lehan raised the corner of his mouth, "You're back, just in time, the last dish is also cooked."
"Come and sit down, and try what I cooked this time."
Song Lehan called Xu Jiangcuo and motioned him to come over and sit down to try it.
Xu Jiangcuo rolled up his shirt sleeves, washed his hands, and sat down immediately.
Picking up the chopsticks, he picked up a piece of braised pork, and as soon as he put it in his mouth, he immediately gave a thumbs up.
"Delicious! The meat is fragrant and soft, really delicious!"
Hearing this comment, Song Lehan smiled and said, "As long as it tastes good, that's fine."
"Why did you think of cooking today?" Xu Jiangcuo looked at Song Lehan's face and saw that she was in much better condition today than before, and he felt happy too.
Song Lehan sat opposite Xu Jiangcuo, picked up his chopsticks, thought for a moment, and then said, "Maybe he has decided to start a new life."
"Don't they say that if you want to live a good life, you have to eat a good meal first."
“So, I made a good meal today.”
Xu Jiangcuo nodded in agreement, "Yes, we will soon have a good life."
"In that case," Song Lehan suddenly had an idea, "Should we have some drinks to celebrate?"
Xu Jiangcuo didn't expect her to say that.
Before he could answer, Song Lehan immediately stood up, took two cans of beer from the refrigerator, and hurried over.
With a "sizzle" sound, she opened the beer can and placed it directly next to Xu Jiangcuo. Then, she opened another bottle for herself.
Song Lehan took the wine and looked at Xu Jiangcuo with a smile, "Come on, let's have a drink first!"
Xu Jiangcuo picked up the wine and said cooperatively, "Then let's toast...to the future!"
"To the future!"
After saying that, Song Lehan tilted his head back and drank half a can.
"What are your ideas for the future?" During the meal, Xu Jiangcuo asked her about her plans for the future.
Song Lehan propped his chin on his hand and said slowly, "I have to wait until the end of the month and after the contract with Jiang Yue is completely terminated before I can show up."
"That's only a few days left."
"Yeah." Song Lehan nodded heavily and drank the rest of the beer. "I don't know what Jiang Yue will do then, but I will definitely not lose!"
"The wine is gone, I'll go get more."
Song Lehan stood up, trotted over, and brought it over directly.
As soon as she sat down, she finished another bottle.
Seeing this situation, Xu Jiangcuo realized that Song Lehan just wanted to find an excuse to drink.
Do you want to drink to vent your feelings?
But......
While Xu Jiangcuo was daydreaming, Song Lehan had already prepared several cans of beer.
There were already four or five empty bottles on the table.
Without any hesitation, Xu Jiangcuo immediately stood up and stopped her from continuing to drink.
"Don't drink anymore. Drinking so much at once will hurt your stomach."
Song Lehan was forced to put down the bottle.
