urban life

Chapter 537
"Xiao Li, I have worked hard for you these days."

"Auntie, please don't say that. When you arrive in Shanghai, as Xintong's boss, I should treat you well and let you have a good time."

"This hotel is not cheap, is it? A meal costs at least tens of thousands of yuan, which is too extravagant."

"Luxury five-star hotel. Auntie, don't think too much. A customer gave me a discount coupon. It doesn't cost much. Don't care about money."

"Thank you very much."

"You're killing me by saying that."

"."

In front of a luxury hotel in a prime location in the center of the magic city, Manager Li supported Lan Yang while the two chatted.

In order to leave a good impression on Lan Yang, Manager Li racked his brains, not only playing with the former, visiting interesting places in Shanghai, but also paying a high price to invite her to a high-end hotel for dinner.

Tonight's meal can cost more than ten thousand yuan, at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Despite spending so much money, Manager Li didn't feel distressed at all. Instead, he smiled and looked proud.

Because of the obvious things, Lan Yang is very satisfied with him.

After getting Lan Yang done, half of his life's event can be regarded as completed.

Manager Li glanced at him, but he didn't see Kang Yi's figure, and he was even more happy in his heart.

These days, he has been entertaining Lan Yang, traveling with him, and coaxing Lan Yang well, so that Kang Yi has no room to show affection.

"Cut!" Manager Li thought of Kang Yi with disdain, "You brat, I'm a little younger than you."

Then he helped Lan Yang and went to the hotel.

Gu Xintong from behind looked at the two of them with a look of helplessness.

As the saying goes, "reach out and don't hit the smiling face".

Faced with Manager Li's way of flattering his mother, Gu Xintong had no way to fight back, and could only let the other party show affection.

Moreover, she could see that her mother was indeed very satisfied with Manager Li.

He intends to match them up.

But love can't be obtained by matching, if you don't feel it, you don't feel it.

Marrying a person who has no feelings is equivalent to going to jail for the rest of your life, it is better not to marry for the rest of your life.

At this moment, Gu Xintong only hoped that her mother would leave Shanghai quickly, and she would cut off contact with Manager Li as soon as possible.

Sighing deeply, he walked in immediately.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them sat down. Manager Li picked up the menu and handed it to Lan Yang. It's expensive, it's too expensive, Xiao Li, let's change to another hotel."

"Hi! Come here, you should experience what it's like to be a rich man." Lan Yang refused to order, so Manager Li had to order by himself, "Pan-fried raw steak, borscht, crispy meat roll shrimp , mussels vegetable salad, bacon fried mashed potatoes, custard pudding.”

After ordering in high spirits, Manager Li handed it to the waiter and said with a smile, "Auntie, excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."

"Go, go." Lan Yang waved his hand.

When Manager Li disappeared, Lan Yang opened the menu and counted the prices of the few dishes just now: "Hiss, Xiao Li is too polite. A meal today costs at least tens of thousands of yuan. He really is a good and reliable boy."

"Hehe." Asked Gu Xintong next to him, "The one who is willing to spend money for you is a reliable and good boy?"

"Anyone who doesn't want to spend money for me is definitely not a reliable person." Lan Yang closed the menu and replied directly, "Your mother, I will not deny that I am a follower of power. I have lived for decades and I have already understood The most important thing in this world is money. Money is not a good thing, it cannot buy life, feelings, and affection. But money is also a good thing, it can buy material and most spiritual enjoyment.”

After a pause, his face was serious and serious: "I have been in Shanghai for a few days, and I understand that Xiao Li is the person who treats you the best right now, and he is also the one with the best conditions, Xintong and I I hope you cherish the people in front of you."

"I really don't have feelings for him." Gu Xintong felt a little pressure, "You don't want your daughter to marry someone who has no feelings, and then be a widow for the rest of her life."

"Then what do you want?" Lan Yang raised his voice a little bit, and showed his mother's air, "Do you miss Kang Yi? He is just in his youth, can people think of you? Besides, he is in love with Manager Li. Worth nothing, no car and no house."

"I have no feelings for Xiaokang either." Gu Xintong responded, "Also, don't look down on Xiaokang, youth is the greatest capital, just in case"

Lan Yang interrupted her: "You also said that it is just in case, there is only one in 1 people, can Xiaokang be one of them?"

Speaking of this, Lan Yang's voice softened, and he touched his chest and said: "Tongtong, your father and I are both old and will not live long. You are our only child. We hope you have a good home and take care of you the rest of my life"

Gu Xintong let out a long breath.

When it comes to getting married, Lan Yang will always use her parents to kidnap her morally, as if she would be sorry to her elders if she didn't get married, as if it would be a kind of unfilial piety if she didn't get married.

This is the one that hurts her the most.

She poked her neck: "Anyway, I don't have feelings for Li Guan."

"."

"Xin Tong, please believe me, I am sincere to you." At this moment, Manager Li came over, heard the words of refusal, and quickly patted his chest to prove himself, "I swear that I will treat you well for the rest of my life."

Gu Xintong's face darkened: "No need."

From Gu Xintong's words, when Manager Li heard the attitude of refusal, he was a little emotional for a while: "Is there anything I can't compare to Kang Yi? I have a car, and he takes the subway to work; I have a house, but he still lives with you guys." Shared rent; I am the manager of the business department of the company, and he is just a small employee who has just joined the company; no matter what aspect, I will crush him."

Manager Li always believed that the obstacle between him and Gu Xintong came from Kang Yi, so he was naturally very unconvinced.

How could a poor boy snatch a woman from him?
That's all he can think of.

But they didn't consider that before Kang Yi joined the company, Gu Xintong was still lukewarm towards him.

Gu Xintong replied: "He is younger and more handsome than you, that's fine."

"."

Manager Li became quiet all of a sudden.

In this regard, he is really inferior to Kang Yi.

"Tongtong!" Lan Yang lowered his voice and patted Manager Li's arm, "Come on, Xiao Li, sit down."

Immediately, the three of them fell into silence, and everyone looked at each other with dark clouds in their eyes, as if the next storm was brewing.

"Well, sorry to bother you."

Just at this moment, a slightly vicissitudes of voice sounded in the ears of the three of them.

I saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of their table, with light yellow curly hair, elegant and dignified attire, like a noble lady.

At this moment, he looked at them with a smile on his face.

Lan Yang asked, "Hello, what's the matter?"

"Sorry to disturb your meal." The middle-aged lady said modestly, and then asked: "I would like to ask, is the Kang Yi you are talking about a young man, 185cm, with yellow hair, and often looks like a fool? You look like you, you just came back from studying abroad, and you work in a company called Yaosheng?"

After hearing the words, Gu Xintong frowned, feeling a little confused for a while.

I don't understand why the rich man in front of me is interested in Kang Yi during their chat, and he seems to know Kang Yi very well.

But she quickly discarded the redundant thoughts, and replied: "Well, if the Yaosheng company you said is a foreign trade company, then it should be right."

Speaking of this, Gu Xintong glanced at the middle-aged lady, standing there, surrounded by a unique aura, which is the aura that often controls others, and asked cautiously: "May I ask who you are?"

"Sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet." The middle-aged lady smiled, "My name is Zuo Shixue, well, you may not know me, I am Kang Yi's mother."

That's right, the person in front of her is Zuo Shixue.

Just now she was eating next to her, and by chance the word "Kang Yi" came to her ears.

As a mother, she is very sensitive to her son's name, so she hurried forward to ask.

Zuo Shixue's answer startled the three people at the table.

Lan Yang had seen the world before, she was the first to come to her senses, her eyes were sizing up Zuo Shixue in an unknown way, she didn't know what she was thinking.

Manager Li frowned tightly, forming a "Chuan" character, his face was dull, as if he had fallen into another world.

Gu Xintong was the most surprised one, almost stunned on the seat, as if she had stopped breathing.

Kang Yi?Mother?
This lady in front of her is actually Kang Yi's mother?
Gu Xintong suddenly remembered that Kang Yi only had a few thousand dollars in his pocket at the time, and when he was wailing at home to make money, he didn't look like a rich kid at all, and it didn't match the rich second generation in her memory, so he replied: "I'm sorry. We It shouldn't be the same person."

"should be."

While answering, Zuo Shixue took out her mobile phone, took out the photo album, and showed the photos of the two mother and child to the three of them.

It was a group photo of Kang Yi graduating from university at that time, mother and son.

Seeing the intimate appearance of the two in the photo, Gu Xintong believed it all at once.

Immediately afterwards, a violent shock hit her heart, stirring her thoughts.

That kid Kang Yi is actually a rich second generation?
Gu Xintong quickly reacted, and stretched out her hand: "Hello, Auntie, I'm Kang Yi's roommate and colleague Gu Xintong."

Then the other two were introduced.

After getting the confirmation, Zuo Shixue smiled and said very friendly: "Hello. My kid has caused you trouble. I'm really sorry."

"No." Gu Xintong waved his hands, "Kang Yi seldom mentioned you in front of us, and didn't recognize you, I hope you forgive me."

"That kid hates me in his heart, so he definitely doesn't want to mention me." Zuo Shixue understood her son's thoughts and didn't care, and then said to Manager Li at the side:
"Manager, my kid has just joined the company, and I hope you can promote him a lot. If there is something wrong, you can reprimand him at will. I have 1 approvals. If you do something wrong, you can scold him. If you don't, you can beat him. Some tools. Don't get used to his stinky blemishes, lest you think that everyone in society should get used to him."

After chatting for a few words, I learned about Kang Yi's living conditions, work and career. His son had no accidents and lived a fairly good life. Zuo Shixue felt relieved: "My old lady is worried about how he eats outside? How is he dressed?" How? How did you sleep? I didn't expect that kid to have a good time, so annoying."

Heart is both happy and sad.

The happy thing is that his son is fine, the food is delicious, and he can live well when he leaves their arms; the sad thing is that Kang Yi lives well alone, and then he will definitely have more confidence to challenge her in the future.

Thousands of thoughts in my heart.

It could be seen that the three of them were dealing with business, so she left the hotel without further interruption.

The three people who were surprised behind were left behind.

After Zuo Shixue left, the three of them fell silent for a while, eating quietly, their eyes glazed over, as if they were thinking about some profound philosophy.

The meal was eaten fairly quietly and quickly.

"The waiter pays the bill." Manager Li shouted.

The waiter bent down and bowed: "Sir, Mr. Zuo has already paid the bill. She said that she is really sorry today, she is busy with work, so I didn't have time to chat with you for a while, I hope you don't mind."

After hearing the words, Manager Li didn't open his mouth, and Lan Yang didn't know what he was thinking. Gu Xintong replied generously: "Then thank you, Mr. Zuo."

Immediately, the three of them walked outside.

After leaving the hotel, Manager Li happened to receive a work message, apologized to Gu Xintong and his mother and daughter, and then left in a hurry, the hasty pace was like the wind, wanting to leave the place quickly.

Gu Xintong took a taxi and returned to the community. She walked slowly into the community holding her mother's hand. The two mothers and daughters were silent and quite quiet.

Lan Yang took the lead to break the deadlock, and exhaled, "You already know Xiaokang's identity?"

"I just found out." Gu Xintong replied, "Kang Yi didn't tell me about his family, and I didn't ask. How did I know that he is actually a rich second generation, and his mother is still so beautiful and generous."

Kang Yi had no intention of showing off his family background, so naturally he rarely mentioned family. Even if he asked, he would mention it briefly, and kept complaining about his "vicious, cruel, cruel" mother.

How could she have imagined that that roommate and colleague was born in a wealthy family.

At this moment, she recalled Kang Yi's personal information, life attitude, and personal temperament, and she seemed to be able to understand it backwards.

With a registered permanent residence in Shanghai, returned from studying abroad, speaks fluent English, only has a few thousand dollars but dares to live and wait for death. Without a rich family background, it is impossible to do it.

"Dog thing, thanks to how much I usually sympathize with him, I didn't expect to deceive me." Gu Xintong gritted her teeth and thought, "If I knew it, I wouldn't introduce him to a job, and let him go back and inherit the family business."

Lan Yang nodded while listening to the story about Kang Yi, as if he knew the former again, entered the elevator, and said, "I think that kid Kang Yi is pretty good."

"." Gu Xintong pursed her lower lip and sighed again, "Oh! Mom, is it better for him or his family?"

These days, Lan Yang has often spoken ill of Kang Yi in front of her, hoping that the two of them will cut off contact, and don't hold out hope.

Unexpectedly, a short conversation turned from a bad guy to a good guy all of a sudden.

Attitudes change too quickly.

Lan Yang nodded: "It's all good!"
