I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 248 Zhu Yulan's resistance, complicated sisters
Fudan milk tea shop.

Zhu Yulan sat in the boss chair that only Xu Musen could sit on.

Xu Musen also personally made her a cup of milk tea and placed it in front of her.

"Boss Zhu, long time no see, I missed you so much."

"It's been a while."

Zhu Yulan picked up the milk tea and took a sip. It must be said that the milk tea prepared by Xu Musen always tasted better.

She felt a little better, and looked at Xu Musen nonchalantly and said, "But I don't think you think much of me."

I passed by her company just now but didn't go in to take a look. If she hadn't come out for a walk, I might have missed it.

"I didn't expect you to be in school during the New Year's Day."

"You too, right? Why are you back during the Chinese New Year? Oh, your girlfriend is still in Shanghai. Are you here to meet her parents?"

"You could say that."

Xu Musen nodded.

"very nice…"

Zhu Yulan let out an incomprehensible sigh and took another sip of the milk tea. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little sour.

"But what about you? Why are you still at your post during the New Year instead of traveling with your family?"

Xu Musen asked, her company would definitely not have any customers during the Chinese New Year, and Zhu Yulan was not short of money, so she should go on vacation to Sanya or somewhere like that with her family.

"I'm not interested. There's nothing to say to them."

Zhu Yulan spoke in a light tone, and even frowned a little when she mentioned it.

The living atmosphere in this rich family is indeed a bit complicated.

Xu Musen changed the subject: "What about friends? Why don't you go play mahjong or something like that with your friends?"

"No friends."

"…How do I answer this?"

Xu Musen smiled helplessly. Why did he feel like he was picking up other people's scars everywhere?

Seeing his expression, Zhu Yulan curled her lips slightly and said, "When the people I know get together, they only talk about brand-name bags and luxury sports cars. It's really boring."

"If others heard you say this, they would probably curse at you."

Xu Musen smiled and shook his head with emotion. These were the worries of the rich second generation. If they were ordinary people, they probably wouldn't even be qualified to discuss them.

"This world is a besieged city. People inside and outside the city envy each other. I envy you... At least you can make your own choices in many things."

Zhu Yulan took a sip of milk tea, narrowed her eyes slightly, and spoke with a melancholy tone.

"What happened to you recently? It's not like you to be so sentimental."

Xu Musen noticed that she seemed to be in a bad mood.

"It's nothing..."

Zhu Yulan shook her head.

"If there are things you don't want to talk about, you don't have to say them for now, but if you need help, you can still tell me. We are good friends after all."

Xu Musen smiled and spoke.

Zhu Yulan narrowed her eyes and said, "Friend? Are you sure you're not the one who's been cheating me every day?"

"Think about it another way. I cheated you because you are very capable. It also shows that Boss Zhu is magnanimous and will definitely achieve extraordinary success in the future."

Xu Musen said with a smile.

"Should I thank you then?"

"You don't have to be so polite."

"So thick-skinned!"

Zhu Yulan complained about him, but her tone was obviously a little lighter. She looked at Xu Musen.

The two have known each other for nearly half a year. When Zhu Yulan recalled the scene of their meeting, her heart moved slightly.

She has never lacked so-called friends around her since she was a child, and they are all children from wealthy families. It is a circle that ordinary people can never dream of and envy.

They are not short of money, and have experienced all kinds of life that others will never be able to experience in their entire lives. However, when they get together, few of them are truly friendly. They are just maintaining their so-called upper-class circle of the rich second generation.

When they get together, they just show off what luxury cars and houses they bought, and what top universities they went to to gild their reputations...

But no one was willing to sit down and have a good chat.

Zhu Yulan is considered to be the best among these rich second-generations. Those who are close to her all have their own purposes. She is really fed up with those flattering and hypocritical faces.

But Xu Musen was the first one who dared to cheat her as soon as they met, and he cheated her again and again, and even dared to admit it in front of her.

They are bickering and vain, shamelessly conceited, but there is not a trace of hypocrisy in them.

Zhu Yulan, on the contrary, felt that because of his frankness, chatting with him was the most relaxing and casual thing.

Just like, real friends.

Zhu Yulan wanted to say something, but her cell phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the note on the phone, she frowned slightly, hesitated for two seconds and finally answered the call.

Zhu Yulan picked up the phone, and after the person on the other end said a few words, she finally replied reluctantly.

"Well, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yulan's good mood seemed to be gone again.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I'm going back."

"Well, I was thinking of going out for dinner together later."

Xu Musen showed a regretful expression.

Zhu Yulan rolled her eyes at him and chuckled, "It's hindsight! You should go eat with your girlfriend."

Men are like this, they like to write blank checks the most, since they don't have to pay any price anyway.

In fact, Xu Musen really wanted to have dinner together later, so that he could take An Nuannuan to spend some time alone, and let Zhu Yulan take care of the naughty child Nannan.

Alas, it didn't work out, what a pity...

"Okay, see you later then."

Xu Musen waved his hand.

Zhu Yulan stood up and looked back at him when she was about to leave: "Just now you said that we are friends, right?"

"I always feel that we are already very good friends." Xu Musen said with a smile.

Zhu Yulan curled her lips, but she couldn't hide the slight upward curve of her mouth: "Then remember what you said, if you cheat me, I will cheat you back sooner or later."

She said, picking up the milk tea on the table, and when she walked to the counter at the door, she also took two freshly baked egg tarts: "Your boss will pay the bill."

After saying that, Zhu Yulan walked away triumphantly, as if she had gotten a huge bargain.

The clerk looked at Xu Musen.

Xu Musen smiled and nodded. This young lady’s way of taking advantage was really childish.

Xu Musen also stood up, took a few egg tarts, and drove away.

The two young employees in the store couldn't help whispering.

"Hey, I always feel that there's something unusual between our boss and this girl."

"They are a good-looking couple, but this girl drives a Ferrari every day and seems to be richer than our boss."

"It's because she's richer than our boss, and she comes to take advantage of him every day. Two egg tarts are not even worth the gas money she spends on the accelerator. Girls are like this. They will take advantage of someone only if they care about him..."

"Hey, you know so much, why don't you ever fall in love?"

"Go away. I want to be a Ferrari driver in the future, so I can just find a handsome guy when the time comes."

……

At this moment, Zhu Yulan drove back to the Zhu family's private manor in Shanghai.

During the New Year, people came to visit the Zhu family every day.

Zhu Yulan received a call from her sister, asking her to come back for dinner.

Zhu Yulan always felt that something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, she arrived at the reception room.

Zhu Yulan saw the person she didn't want to see.

Huang Tianming, he was still dressed respectably in a white suit, which made him as conspicuous as possible.

Apart from his height, which is a bit disappointing, there is really nothing to complain about Huang Tianming's other qualities.

In terms of appearance, family background, and personal abilities, he is considered very outstanding among the circle of rich second-generations.

Although family marriage sounds a bit unbelievable in modern times, it is actually very normal if you think about it carefully.

Even ordinary families will give priority to marrying locals, and those who have houses and cars will be given priority. A strong combination is always the best choice.

What's more, if these large enterprises were to marry each other, it would send a signal to the outside world that the cooperation between the two families would definitely be closer, and their ability to bear risks and invest would definitely be stronger.

People outside will be more willing to invest, which will be beneficial to the development of both families.

After all, as a family gets bigger, more interests from all sides are involved. If you enjoy the life provided by a wealthy family, you will always have to bear more costs.

In ancient times, many emperors’ daughters were married off to foreign countries, not to mention these big companies.

"Yulan, long time no see."

Huang Tianming greeted in a gentlemanly manner.

But Zhu Yulan didn't even look at him, but sat aside.

"Yulan, can't you hear Tianming greeting you?"

Zhu Changlin frowned and scolded his daughter.

"Uncle Zhu, it's okay. Maybe I haven't seen Yulan for a long time, so I'm a little uncomfortable for a while."

Huang Tianming responded with a smile at this moment, appearing very gentlemanly.

"Look at how well-mannered Tianming is. And then look at you. You are so old but you still act out of temper every day."

Zhu Changlin said. Zhu Yulan snorted coldly: "After being a sea turtle for two years, you think you are a sugar-water turtle..."

Her voice was not loud, so others couldn't hear it, but they could feel that she was definitely not saying anything nice.

Zhu Changlin was about to get angry again, but Zhu Xianglan smiled and went over to interrupt the festive atmosphere: "It's New Year's Day, let's eat first, I'll make some tea."

There was a table full of exquisite food. Even though it wasn’t New Year’s Eve, the food they usually ate could cover one or two months’ expenses for an ordinary family.

Most ordinary people may not be able to eat a good meal in their entire life.

But Zhu Yulan didn't even look at it. She just picked up her milk tea and egg tarts and started eating.

"Eat, what are you eating that for?"

Zhu Changlin couldn't help but say something.

Although we are not forbidden to eat these "junk foods" at home, it is not very decent to eat them in front of guests at the table.

"It's delicious. I enjoy eating it."

Zhu Yulan responded indifferently, biting the crunchy egg tart without caring about her image.

"It's good. I'll try something new every now and then if I haven't eaten it before. But these non-nutritious foods are not good for the body. I still have to eat regular meals in the future."

Huang Tianming said this to come to the rescue, but his words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

What do you mean by a nutritious thing? Where did you come from?
Zhu Yulan knew that he was talking about Xu Musen, but she acted as if she had cheated on him. Why do you speak in that tone?

"The egg tarts are also made of genuine stuff, not like some of the other stuff that's rotten inside."

Zhu Yulan also turned back into Yin and Yang directly.

"Yulan!"

Zhu Changlin shouted again seriously.

"Okay, okay, it's New Year's Day, everyone should take their time. Xiaoyu might be a little carsick after driving here, so let's order some fruit first."

Zhu Xianglan kept an elegant smile on her face, sat next to her sister, and brought her a plate of fruit with concern.

In this family, Zhu Yulan probably only has a little affection for her biological sister, so she took a bite of fruit and said nothing.

Zhu Changlin shook his head and said to Huang Tianming: "Tianming, I'm making fun of you. This child has been spoiled since he was young."

"That's good. It shows that Yulan has always remained innocent and has been well protected by you, Uncle Zhu."

Huang Tianming made a very intelligent speech, secretly flattering Zhu Changlin.

Zhu Yulan snorted in her heart.

But Zhu Changlin was obviously very pleased with it, and laughed: "You see, it's better for a man to have seen the world. You and Yulan grew up together. You can teach her some things, so that she won't be cheated by some people with ulterior motives when she goes out."

Zhu Changlin has his own considerations.

Huang Tianming is indeed very outstanding now, and there are a lot of cooperation between the two companies, and everything is going well.

In addition, the ancestors of the two families were good friends, and they were childhood sweethearts, so it would be best for them to be together.

But if that were the case, Zhu Changlin wouldn't be so anxious to bring the two together.

The main reason is that he recently learned that his daughter might have met a boy outside and they were in a pretty close relationship, and it was also heard that the boy had a girlfriend.

If this matter were to get out, the Zhu family would lose face, and his daughter couldn't be with a man who had no family and no ability.

The so-called career of that little boy seemed far from worth mentioning to him now, especially when compared with Huang Tianming's family background.

Therefore, Zhu Changlin wanted his daughter to get in touch with Huang Tianming so that she would know what kind of person is worth choosing and getting in touch with.

At the very least, my daughter’s marriage should not fall below this standard.

Huang Tianming was naturally happy to do so and nodded repeatedly: "Uncle Zhu, don't worry, this is what I should do..."

"What does it have to do with you who I come in contact with?"

Zhu Yulan couldn't help it, she gritted her teeth and interrupted their conversation.

Of course I know what they mean.

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? A normal person knows that one should be close to noble people and stay away from villains. Is there anything wrong with interacting with more outstanding people?"

"How do you know that others are not excellent?"

Zhu Yulan sneered: "Others started from scratch, but if some people didn't rely on their family connections, what could they accomplish?"

"Zhu Yulan!"

Zhu Changlin slammed the table and said, "How old are you? Can you understand something?"

Zhu Yulan smiled coldly: "Sensible? So-called sensible means that I am like a puppet and let you control me?"

She said this.

Zhu Xianglan beside her moved her eyes slightly, but still did not make any move.

"How dare you! What do you know? I'm doing this for your own good, you know?"

Zhu Changlin maintains his dignity.

Zhu Yulan took a deep breath, stood up and left.

"you……"

"Dad, I'm going to go see her."

Zhu Xianglan stood up with a faint smile and walked out.

Zhu Changlin sighed. He really had no idea what to do with his little daughter.

He looked at Huang Tianming: "Tianming, Yulan is still young, don't mind it."

Huang Tianming naturally didn't dare to say anything. Even if he was unhappy, he could only smile: "No, no..."

……

At the door, Zhu Yulan got into the car and prepared to leave.

Zhu Xianglan walked over and looked at her sister. She always seemed to have a smile on her face. "Why are you so angry? Dad just wanted you to have contact with him, not to let you two be together."

"Don't you know what he's thinking?"

Zhu Yulan was indignant and looked at her second sister.

Her eyes were also complicated. At the beginning, her sister was the same. She obeyed the arrangements of her family and married a man from another family whom she had hardly met.

She was not like this when she was a child, but she became like this after her eldest sister passed away. She does whatever her family says.

You've never even seen any other expression on her face other than smiling.

She is always elegant and behaves like a lady, becoming the pride of the family and a role model for her father to show off.

"Sister, are you really happy?"

Zhu Yulan bit her lip.

Zhu Xianglan's eyes flickered, but she still had a smile on her face: "We have been much luckier than most people since we were born, so why should we be unhappy?"

"But I don't think we should be like this. I also want to have my own choices... Sister, you should too."

Zhu Xianglan was silent for a moment, she looked at her only sister and said: "Sister, I won't persuade you, but sister and dad have the same idea, we both want you to live a good life."

"So, sister, do you also think that what I did was wrong?"

Zhu Yulan gritted her teeth and looked at her second sister. Many words were stuck in her throat, but she felt there was no need to say them out.

Zhu Xianglan didn't say anything.

After staring at each other quietly for a moment, Zhu Yulan's expression was complicated: "Sister, take care of yourself, but I won't give up."

After she said that, she stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Zhu Xianglan looked at the direction where her sister was going. She was lost in thought for a long time, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again.

Return to the living room.

"Where's Yulan?"

"She left first."

"This child is really spoiled. She is so willful and there is nothing we can do about it..."

Zhu Changlin couldn't say anything in front of outsiders.

Zhu Xianglan suddenly smiled and said, "It's easy to explain. Yulan has never experienced the life of an ordinary person. If she were to experience it, maybe she would understand your good intentions, Dad."

Zhu Changlin raised his eyebrows: "You mean."

"Just freeze her bank cards and the like after a while. Yulan has never suffered hardship before, so she won't be able to hold out for long."

Zhu Xianglan spoke with a smile.

Zhu Changlin and Huang Tianming immediately thought that this was a good idea.

For these rich second-generations who have no idea about daily consumption, suspending their credit cards is almost like taking their lives.

After all, they have been used to a good life. Any piece of chocolate costs hundreds of dollars. How could they possibly eat noodles or rice for a few dollars a bowl?

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

This trick works well for any rich second generation.

But... this move is quite cruel.

Zhu Changlin looked at his second daughter and said, "Aren't you most concerned about Yulan?"

"I'm doing this for her own good. By the way, let me manage her company temporarily."

Zhu Xianglan spoke with a smile.

Zhu Changlin nodded, thinking that it would be good for his daughter to receive a proper education.

"Then do as you say."

"Okay, then Dad, you eat first."

Zhu Xianglan nodded, maintained an elegant smile and left.

Just when he stood up, he glanced at Huang Tianming intentionally or unintentionally.

Huang Tianming swallowed his saliva. He didn't know what was going on. It was clearly a very elegant and dignified smile, but it made him feel a little cold at the back...

I always feel that the relationship between these two sisters seems a bit complicated.
