As Du Wenqing listened to Qin Yu's words on the phone, her eyes welled up with tears, and she slowly curled the corners of her mouth into a smile.
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow at Xia Lan, inviting her to praise him.
Xia Lan's lips curled slightly upwards.
"You're really something."
Qin Yu and Xia Lan looked at each other and smiled.
After hearing Du Wenqing's words, Zhang Qiu simply sent some things in to Du Juan and then stopped caring about it.
From initially hurling insults to eventually falling silent, Du Juan showed no remorse for the injustice she had suffered. Instead, she intensified her venting of her anger towards Xia Lan.
“Xia Lan…”
"It's all because of you..."
Xia Lan was unaware of Du Juan's situation. She and Qin Yu had been looking for a suitable place, but before they could find a shop, Yang Ziye came looking for them.
Xia Lan paused, then raised an eyebrow at Yang Ziye, who was dressed like a noble young master.
"Sister-in-law, my brother's marriage depends on you."
Yang Ziye looked at Xia Lan pitifully.
"ah?"
Yang Ziye's words left Xia Lan completely bewildered.
What do you mean by that?
Xia Lan looked at Yang Ziye and asked seriously.
"I...I've fallen in love with your girlfriend at first sight."
Yang Ziye carefully raised his eyes to look at Xia Lan and said softly.
"What?"
Xia Lan blinked, pretending to be very surprised.
Yang Ziye scratched his hair sheepishly.
"When I saw her last time... I... I was a little bit attracted to her."
Yang Ziye acted shy and hesitant, like a young girl.
Qin Yu and Xia Lan exchanged a glance.
"You're so good at it, aren't you? How come you can't do it with Shishi?"
Xia Lan asked, amused.
"What are your preparations for pursuing a lesbian? Want a complete set?"
Yang Ziye lowered his head in disappointment.
“I tried, but she wouldn’t come out.”
Yang Ziye sighed heavily.
"I asked my friend to invite Wu Shishi out together, thinking that if we all hung out together, she would be willing to come, but she said she had a cold..."
"When I heard she had a cold, I went to the hospital to get some medicine and asked someone to deliver it to Wu Shishi. But I didn't get the medicine delivered and I even got scolded..."
"I sent her flowers and expensive chocolates, but she refused them all..."
"She also told me never to contact her again."
"I don't know why she dislikes me so much..."
Yang Ziye looked utterly defeated. It was the first time he had sincerely pursued a girl, but... he was rejected and even disliked.
There was really no other way, so I had to come to Xia Lan.
"..."
After hearing Yang Ziye's words, Xia Lan didn't know how to help him.
"You've had all of these rejected..."
What's the point of chasing after this?
"You don't understand, I just... I just like her."
"I don't want anyone but her..."
Even if she hates you?
Xia Lan asked, amused.
"Sister-in-law, please save my brother..."
"My lifelong happiness depends on you..."
Yang Ziye pleaded with Xia Lan.
"I'll give it a try..."
Seeing how serious Yang Ziye was, Xia Lan thought of asking him on his behalf.
"I heard you've been looking for a shop lately, haven't you? I have a few nice ones here, would you like to take a look?"
Upon hearing that Xia Lan was willing to help him, Yang Ziye immediately took out several property deeds for shops.
"Which one do you want? My little brother will take you to see them first."
Yang Ziye looked at Xia Lan and Qin Yu.
"This one!"
Xia Lan pointed to the one in the middle.
The address and size are both good.
"How much is the rent...?"
Xia Lan was about to ask how much the rent was when she rented it.
Then Yang Ziye simply placed the property deed directly into her hand.
"My sister-in-law is talking to me about rent. Can I accept it?"
Yang Ziye gave the house deed directly to Xia Lan.
"...What are you doing! Put it away."
Xia Lan frowned at Yang Ziye's actions and put the property deed back into Yang Ziye's hands.
"I promise to ask around for you, but I don't want your house!"
Xia Lan glared at Yang Ziye.
Yang Ziye also knew that his actions were somewhat inappropriate, and what he thought Xia Lan was.
Put it away quickly.
"My dear sister-in-law, I'm entrusting my younger brother to you."
Yang Ziye didn't dare say anything more.
I'm afraid I'll upset Xia Lan again.
"Let's go then."
Xia Lan chuckled, looking at Yang Ziye's nonchalant attitude.
"Brother, sister-in-law, I've driven. I'll take you there."
Yang Ziye fawned.
Xia Lan followed Qin Yu into Yang Ziye's car and headed to the Wu family's residence.
The Wu family.
Wu Shishi sat absentmindedly in the room and sighed softly.
What's making you sigh like that?
When Xia Lan pushed the door open with a smile, she saw Wu Shishi sighing.
"Lanlan, what brings you here?"
Xia Lan's voice surprised and delighted Wu Shishi, who immediately rushed to her side and hugged Xia Lan.
"I'd like to ask you the same thing! What could possibly be causing Miss Wu such distress?"
Xia Lan pulled Wu Shishi to sit down and looked at her.
"this……"
Wu Shishi hesitated, unsure how to tell Xia Lan.
"Do you remember Yang Ziye, the guy we met last time? I remember he was your friend."
Wu Shishi glanced at Xia Lan cautiously, then asked.
"Of course I know."
That was at his request.
How could I not know?
Xia Lan smiled.
"He's pursuing me."
