As soon as Sheng Mian entered the house, she saw a woman of about twenty-eight years old sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed and watching TV, while her aunt Li Su was cooking, as if she was serving an old lady.
The woman sitting on the sofa put down the apple she was eating when she saw Sheng Mian.
"Hey, we city dwellers are back. Our house is dirty. Let's just find a place to sit."
Lin Dong and Li Su both had a look of embarrassment on their faces, but it was hard to say anything.
Li Su pulled Sheng Mian over, looked around, and couldn't help but asked worriedly: "You have lost weight. Is your father doting on that woman and neglecting you?"
"That must be the case. It's been so many years since her mother died. Men are all ruthless. If they meet someone more beautiful, who would still remember this second cousin in your family?"
The woman who spoke was about twenty-eight years old. She was Sheng Mian's cousin and the daughter-in-law of this family.
With a mean look on her face, she glanced at the kitchen again.
"The dishes haven't been cooked yet, so why talk about old times?"
Li Su had no choice but to let go of Sheng Mian's hand first, "Mianmian, sit down, I have two more dishes to prepare."
Sheng Mian frowned.
The other party rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't what I said the truth? All the real estate in your family now belongs to that woman. You see, your father hasn't come back to burn paper in several years. He doesn't support you now because you are useful."
Sheng Mian raised his head slightly, looked at his cousin who was speaking, and suppressed the inexplicable anger in his heart.
"My cousin doesn't need to worry about my family's affairs."
He Zhen rolled her eyes again, "That's right. Your family is so rich in the city and runs a big company. I heard that a car costs several million. There is no need to care about a poor person like me.
The money we make in a lifetime is not as much as you make in a day."
Lin Dong pulled Sheng Mian and told her not to care, even with a hint of begging.
Sheng Mian had no choice but to take a deep breath and stop looking at He Zhen.
He Zhen snorted coldly, stepped on her high heels and returned to her bedroom. She closed the door with a bang and turned up the music loudly until someone next door came to complain.
people.
Lin Dong sighed, but he quickly went to apologize to others.
Sheng Mian watched this scene, although she knew that Lin Dong and Li Su had a reason for letting He Zhen do this.
She couldn't say anything to He Zhen like she did to other people.
He Zhen obviously didn't welcome her. In fact, she didn't plan to stay here tonight.
After dinner, Sheng Mian and her aunt asked to leave, and Li Su quickly pulled them away.
"Mianmian, your room is ready. I just changed the sheets. It's not safe for you to spend money to stay in a hotel. Just stay here."
He Zhen on the side couldn't help but sneered, and said in a strange manner:
"She spends 200 yuan to stay in a hotel and it's just a waste of time. Why are you feeling so sorry for her? It's better to feel sorry for ourselves."
Sheng Mian twitched the corner of her mouth. If it weren't for the sake of her uncle and aunt, she would definitely be so angry that He Zhen couldn't say a word.
Li Su's hand was still holding her tightly, feeling guilty and uneasy.
Sheng Mian smiled and comforted, "Aunt, there's really no need, my hotel is already..."
Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Lin Dong hurriedly opened the door and saw that it was Lao Li from the team.
When Lao Li saw Sheng Mian, he seemed to have seen a savior.
"Oh, this college student of yours has really come back. The higher-ups specially asked me to come here and ask. He said he wanted to paint a painting on the white wall of the courtyard where he receives distinguished guests. Now the white color there always looks empty, and he is worried about buying a mural.
It's too tacky and dissatisfying the guests. Mianmian is from the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts. You are the only one who has been admitted to Youxian County in recent years. You were asked to come to you and ask if you are willing to go and provide you with a hotel.
How about an extra thousand yuan?"
Sheng Mian breathed a sigh of relief, as he could use this as an excuse.
"Okay, let me go over there. What do you want to draw?"
"As long as it blends in with the surrounding scenery. Lin Dong told me in the afternoon that you were coming. I blame me for letting the leader hear it. There have been many big shots in Youxian County recently, and I don't dare to make mistakes. If you are willing to help,
That’s really great.”
Sheng Mian looked at Li Dong and Li Su.
"Uncle, aunt, you have also heard that we need a painter over there."
Li Su could no longer stop her and followed Lin Dong to the door.
Sheng Mian held the small box in her hand and got into her car.
The car in front was leading the way, and she followed.
When I arrived outside the courtyard, I immediately saw the Bentley parked outside. The license plate number seemed vaguely familiar.
