I am reborn and refuse to be a sickly rich woman

Chapter 395 He is not a scumbag, he just likes two people.

These two days in Shanghai.

Xu Musen accompanied An Nuannuan to look at gold and silver jewelry, and also took his parents to tour his company and various milk tea shops.

Although it is the Chinese New Year period, the company is still operating stably, and the customer flow of each milk tea shop has increased instead of decreased.

There are fewer delivery guys on the road as many restaurants have closed their doors during the Chinese New Year holidays, so naturally there is less need for so many delivery guys. However, the delivery fee during the Chinese New Year holidays is three or four times higher than usual, and there is no pressure to grab orders. Maybe if you meet a generous customer, you can even get a Chinese New Year red envelope.

It is obvious that they are more motivated than usual. Not everyone can go home for the New Year. There are always people who have no control over their lives. Earning more money is some consolation.

Seeing the company running in such an orderly manner even during the New Year, Xu's father and mother were filled with relief. They couldn't help but sigh that poverty and wealth were achieved in the blink of an eye.

The old couple rarely comes to Shanghai, and they are very excited to visit places like the Bund and the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Xu Musen was also very tactful and stopped acting as a light bulb. Anyway, his parents had no intention of practicing the trumpet, so he just let them be romantic.

Now that he was in Shanghai, Xu Musen decided to go and take a look at the company.

To Xu Musen’s surprise, when he returned to the head office, he actually met a very familiar figure at the corner.

Yang Xiaotao appeared from the corner holding documents and bumped into Xu Musen, and sat down on the ground with her little butt.

"Oh my... who doesn't watch where they are walking? You... eh? Boss Xu?"

Yang Xiaotao rubbed her chubby buttocks. A lot of snacks fell out of the bag containing documents. They looked like they were specially customized by the company for employees to satisfy their cravings.

She saw the person standing in front of her and was stunned for a moment.

"Are you blaming me for walking like a thief?" Xu Musen smiled and helped her pick up the snacks scattered on the ground.

"I'm not a thief..."

Yang Xiaotao also stood up quickly. This little girl had typical baby fat, and her whole body was fleshy. If a skinny girl had such a plump butt, she would probably cry.

But she patted her butt, her chubby and bouncy baby flesh, as if nothing had happened. Instead, she kept staring at the snacks in Xu Musen's hand.

Xu Musen handed the snacks to her and said with a smile: "I remember giving you a holiday for the New Year, why are you still in the company? You didn't come here just to sneak in some snacks, did you?"

The snacks in the company are all customized and cannot be bought outside. Many of the flavors are very unique. Snacks are supplied at irregular intervals every day, but you can eat them for free after overtime, and you are even allowed to take a few home.

This overtime routine is the most clever. If you work overtime for ten minutes, you can get free snacks and coffee. If you work overtime for half an hour, you can get an extra meal allowance. If you work overtime for one hour, you can get a taxi voucher.

Many people just want to eat some snacks during their ten minutes after get off work. In Shanghai, a place with magical prices, a few packs of empty potato chips will cost more than a hundred yuan.

Working overtime for half an hour can save you money for a meal and eat healthy and nutritious food.

If you work overtime for one hour, you can get a taxi voucher, which allows you to avoid the rush hour of subway crowds and go home comfortably.

I worked overtime voluntarily and felt happy that I was getting some benefits from the company.

In fact, these costs are not high when the volume is high, and are much cheaper than triple overtime pay.

However, this mentality of taking advantage of workers to "fleece the sheep" can actually produce a better effect.

But Yang Xiaotao's family is well off, so she definitely won't come to the company just to take advantage of this.

"What do you mean by stealing? Didn't you stipulate that I can eat snacks as much as I want when I work overtime? I worked overtime during the New Year's Day, and I haven't asked you for overtime pay yet!" Yang Xiaotao blushed when she was exposed, but she quickly put away the snacks in her hand.

In fact, she really loves to eat the snacks in the company. She is quite picky about her taste. She always feels that the snacks bought outside are not very tasty, but the snacks customized in the company are just right, as if they were customized according to her taste.

She likes to eat very much, but Zhu Yulan restricts her from eating too much, otherwise she might turn from baby fat to really fat.

"Since you are here, is Zhu Yulan here too?"

"Yeah, if Sister Zhu hadn't insisted on coming to handle the work, I wouldn't have come..." Yang Xiaotao hummed. How could anyone like to work? It was really strange.

Xu Musen smiled, took out a red envelope and handed it to her: "Ms. Yang, you have worked hard, and Happy New Year."

Yang Xiaotao was immediately attracted by the money and happily accepted the red envelope: "Oh~ It's not hard, it's all for the company. I like to work, I like to work overtime, I will shed my last drop of blood for the company!"

"Alright, alright, it would be too fake to say anything more."

Xu Musen poked her cheek: "Give me the file."

"Hey, um, don't tell Sister Zhu that I took snacks again." Yang Xiaotao sensibly handed the documents to Xu Musen, but was too embarrassed to tell him this.

"Then give me two packs of snacks too."

"Hey!"

"Ok?"

"Woo~"

Xu Musen smiled and took two more bags of snacks.

Come to the office door.

Xu Musen knocked on the door.

"Enter."

Xu Musen entered the office.

Zhu Yulan didn't even raise her head. She was dressed in casual light-colored clothes, and her temperament was elegant and noble. Her tone was now increasingly sounding like that of a rich girl who had gone into business and was in power.

As soon as Xu Musen took two steps, Zhu Yulan raised her head and looked at Xu Musen calmly.

"You don't seem surprised at all?"

"As soon as I opened the door I smelled a scumbag. There's no one else but you."

Xu Musen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's not right to make personal attacks on people during the New Year."

“Just stating the facts.”

After Zhu Yulan uttered a few scathing words, she seemed to feel much better. As expected, after she had uttered the dirty words, she felt better in the end.

"Make me a cup of tea."

She pointed at the tea bar machine beside her and ordered the big boss Xu Musen to do something very easily.

Xu Musen said sternly: "Can you face the reality that I am your boss? Can you be a little more polite?"

Zhu Yulan held up her delicate chin with both hands, and narrowed her almond-shaped eyes with interest: "Sorry, my good attitude is only for my future boyfriend, how about you try to get it?"

"Would you like black tea or green tea?"

Xu Musen answered promptly and decisively, and Zhu Yulan's eyes opened wide.

"……casual!"

The tea was served. Zhu Yulan took the tea and didn't want to pay attention to him in a bad mood.

"I just ran into Xiao Tao outside the office. She brought a lot of snacks and asked me not to tell you."

As soon as Xu Musen opened his mouth, he sold out Yang Xiaotao.

"She's still eating. She's become so fat. If we don't stop her, she'll have a hard time getting married in the future."

Zhu Yulan sighed.

Xu Musen couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Tao's fat is considered baby fat, but she's still very cute."

"Yes, yes. Anything chubby is baby fat in your place."

Zhu Yulan sneered, all men are like this, as long as the fat grows in the right place, they are cute no matter how fat they are.

Xu Musen waved his hand: "Besides, it's not your business whether she gets married or not, why are you acting like a nanny?"

"You're the old lady!"

Zhu Yulan rolled her eyes at him, then looked at Xu Musen: "She told you not to tell me, but you still told me?"

Xu Musen smiled and said, "You are the one who is responsible for customizing the snacks in the company. You are obviously the one who pampers her. Do you think you can bear to stop her from eating just because I complain? You are such a tsundere."

Zhu Yulan blushed, but did not refute.

"After all, Xiao Tao is the only one who is willing to leave all her money to me and accompany me to make a comeback. I am willing to pamper her... You are the dead tsundere!"

Xu Musen laughed: "It's Chinese New Year, why are you working overtime at the company instead of going home for the New Year?"

When this topic was mentioned, Zhu Yulan's expression changed slightly: "Chinese New Year is just a meal together anyway. It's better to be alone in the company and have all the relatives and friends come over to ask some meaningless questions just for showing off."

"That's true."

Xu Musen nodded.

"You seem to be in a good mood. You come to Shanghai during the New Year. It seems that your engagement with Nuannuan is a done deal?" Zhu Yulan looked at Xu Musen, bit her lip lightly, drank a sip of tea, and then asked in a calm tone.

"Well, I plan to find a suitable date to hold the engagement party."

Xu Musen nodded, without too much exaggerated joy or excitement, but the happy smile at the corner of his mouth was a little dazzling.

"Is it confirmed?" Zhu Yulan took a sip of tea and didn't feel it was hot, but she felt a little confused.

"It has been decided in this life." Xu Musen nodded decisively.

"What about her?"

Zhu Yulan looked straight at him.

His childhood sweetheart is not someone who can be easily fooled. She is very difficult to deal with.

Xu Musen also drank a sip of tea, still without any hesitation, and smiled slightly: "She was determined in her previous life."

"..."

Zhu Yulan remained silent for a long time, and the black tea in her mouth seemed to have turned into sour vinegar.

She smiled, but her eyes flickered.

"One in this life, one in the previous life, so if there is another person, do we have to wait for the next life?"

The smile was a little forced, and a little self-deprecating. Anyway, she still wanted to hear the answer she wanted to hear.

"There is no such thing as a guaranteed next life in this world."

Xu Musen smiled and shook his head, his tone still without hesitation: "If there are really more, then I have to find them as soon as possible."

Zhu Yulan looked at him, and perhaps only she could understand the emotions flashing in her eyes.

"Lick the dog!"

Zhu Yulan wanted to say something, but in the end she just gritted her teeth and cursed out these two words.

Xu Musen was used to being scolded and accepted the title with a smile.

Zhu Yulan took a deep breath. She continued to say what she said last time under the influence of alcohol, but she knew that if she really wanted to ask the question, she had to do it when she was sober.

"Xu Musen, you know what I want to ask."

"I know, that's what I answered."

Xu Musen still did not hesitate and looked into her eyes, which were still as gentle and unfathomable as before.

"I like your gentleness the most, but I also hate your gentleness at all times. It seems that apart from your Nuan Nuan and your childhood sweetheart, no one else can really enter your heart and stir up waves in your heart..."

Zhu Yulan gritted her teeth and looked at Xu Musen, but she suddenly felt deflated when she saw the end.

"Xu Musen, I like you, but I also hate you the most!"

Xu Musen smiled and shook his head.

Zhu Yulan didn't want to pay any attention to him at this moment, she waved her hand at him and said, "Go away, I'm sick of the smell of dog."

Xu Musen smiled and looked at his watch: "If you have time these two days, we can have a meal together and keep in touch with each other." "Who wants to keep in touch with a scumbag like you? Go find your little fiancée!"

Zhu Yulan waved her hands at him impatiently.

"Then I won't disturb you, Miss Zhu. Call me for dinner when you have time." Xu Musen stood up with a smile, poured her another cup of hot tea, left the snacks in his hand, and left the office.

Until the moment the door opened, Zhu Yulan couldn't help but speak: "Xu Musen, have you ever considered that if you fail, make the wrong choice, mess up... can you bear the consequences?"

These things he has to do...are actually no big deal. The so-called moral constraints and even laws are mostly only used to restrain ordinary people.

Zhu Yulan was born in a wealthy circle. She has seen too many people with three wives and four concubines. Every powerful family has a few illegitimate children.

In wealthy families, these are not a big deal.

But she knew Xu Musen. He was not the kind of person who would just give some money and then leave it alone after getting something.

An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue are definitely not that kind of people.

This kind of balance is the most difficult.

Xu Musen paused and looked at the girl's expression. He thought for a moment and smiled. "Of course I have thought about the worst possible outcome, but I know that if I don't do this, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

In his previous life, Xu Musen missed the encounter and beginning with An Nuannuan.

In this life, he also didn't want to miss the reunion and ending with Yao Mingyue.

more importantly……

Xu Musen smiled and said, "I know that none of them will leave me, and I will not leave any of them. Since we know each other's feelings, there is no reason not to try, no reason not to choose, and no reason to fail."

His tone was so calm but firm that no one could shake it with even the slightest detail.

It is a kind of trust that comes from confidence in each other.

Zhu Yulan's steps trembled slightly. Looking at the smile on Xu Musen's lips and his determined eyes, the bitterness in her heart was transformed into emotions that she herself did not understand.

He is a scumbag. The girl he coaxes can’t leave him, so he has nothing to fear?

But there is a bit of... pure love in this scumbag, as if in his heart, there is no room for a third person except Yao Mingyue and An Nuannuan.

It's not that he wants to be a scumbag and like two girls, but he is destined to be liked by two girls in this life...

This conclusion made Zhu Yulan feel like there might be something wrong with her world views.

But it is so reasonable.

She smiled bitterly, looked at Xu Musen, and took a deep breath: "I don't know what to say to you... Forget it, I wish you good luck."

"You too."

Xu Musen nodded and left the office.

When the footsteps disappeared, Zhu Yulan raised her head and gently rubbed her eyes...

What a great...

Zhu Yulan didn't want to think about these things, but when Xu Musen mentioned the happiness of their engagement and his determination when he mentioned their childhood sweethearts, the feeling of being chosen without any hesitation was really enviable.

He is really getting engaged...

Zhu Yulan couldn't help but feel a little sour in the corners of her eyes. She stood up, holding her teacup, and looked at the people coming and going downstairs. It was really lively...

Being single, she didn’t know whether it was fun or worrying, but she knew that she might never be as important as them.

It was like the commercial war between Jiaduobao and Wanglaoji, but the one who suffered the loss was Heqizheng.

No, it should be said that this was originally a dispute between them, and she was the real outsider.

After all, is there still one step left?

Zhu Yulan shook her head and smiled bitterly, feeling helpless but also somewhat relieved. Perhaps it had always been her wishful thinking.

Who says that love must have results?

Sometimes it is truly amazing to love someone even though you know it will have no result.

"Dong dong..."

There was a knock on the door. Zhu Yulan thought it was Yang Xiaotao and said, "Come in."

There was a breeze at the door, but the sound of footsteps was not Yang Xiaotao's thudding footsteps, but rather steady and elegant.

"Good sister, they have already gone far away, are you still looking?"

A soft and plump body hugged her gently from behind.

Zhu Yulan broke free, turned around and took a step back to look at her second sister in front of her, her tone calm: "Why are you here?"

"Isn't it my duty as a sister to come visit my sister who didn't come home during the New Year?"

Zhu Xianglan was wearing a luxurious mink dress, with an enchanting figure and a mature charm that could not be matched by a young girl.

"There's nothing to go back to. I'm fine here alone."

Zhu Yulan shook her head and looked at the people coming and going on the street. When the New Year comes, ordinary people will also be briefly immersed in happiness.

Zhu Xianglan sat on the chair that Xu Musen had just made, looking at the quilt and snacks placed in front of her, and then at her sister who seemed a little absent-minded.

She sighed: "Silly sister, is he getting engaged?"

"how do you know?"

"Shanghai is so small, and although the An family keeps a low profile, this kind of thing can be deduced by anyone who is interested."

Zhu Xianglan looked at her sister: "What are your plans now?"

"What plans can I make? They're getting engaged and they're so happy. Do I, a single guy, have the right to make decisions?" Zhu Yulan laughed at herself.

"That's not necessarily true. Engagement is not marriage. If you still have ideas, I will definitely support you. Get him drunk, drug him, or tie him up so you can teach him a lesson..."

Zhu Xianglan gave examples one by one, but before she could finish, Zhu Yulan picked up the snacks and stuffed them into her mouth.

Zhu Yulan's eyes flashed. In fact, these thoughts... had actually occurred to her at some point in her life.

But she knew that this was not what she wanted.

"This little scumbag, he's such a scumbag, why doesn't he come and scum my sister? My sister is so pretty and she's a rich woman, this guy doesn't even qualify as a scumbag!"

Zhu Xianglan was standing up for justice, but the words sounded strange.

In fact, her idea is very simple. Let this little scumbag fall into her sister's hands first and then train him slowly. If it doesn't work, she will personally come out to guide him. She doesn't believe that she can't win over a young man.

"In fact, I have always been the unsteady one, and I have also been the scumbag..."

Zhu Yulan suddenly laughed, and her eyes were recalling what Xu Musen had just said.

"In fact, it seems like the three of them were meant to be entangled together. An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue, two people who look completely different, are actually exactly the same type of people in their hearts. One lacks courage, the other is too strong. One loves but cannot get it, the other gets it but cannot love...

If the two of them could merge together, they would be the most perfect person in Xu Musen's mind.

Therefore, the three of them were supposed to be together, and Xu Musen has always liked the same type of people from the beginning to the end.

He also firmly chose two people from the very beginning and did not waver at all.

It was me who showed up without understanding the situation and yet forced him to like me and accept me.

Moreover, I can't be as firm as him, and I can't be as desperate for each other as he is.

So, compared to them, my love is nothing. If anyone wants to talk about scumbags, I am the scumbag. "

"Sister, you..."

Zhu Xianglan was confused after listening to these words. What kind of logic was this? But she couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.

"actually,"

Looking at her sister's red eyes and tears in the corners of her eyes, she sighed: "So... have you decided that you don't like him?"

"No, who said I don't like him?" Zhu Yulan's answer at this moment was as straightforward as Xu Musen's before.

"Then why do you..." Zhu Xianglan didn't understand.

Zhu Yulan picked up the snacks left by Xu Musen and said, "If he likes me, then he likes me. It has nothing to do with me. If I don't even have this will, then I would say that I am a fickle and scumbag who is tempted by beauty."

"Why are you doing this?"

Zhu Xianglan looked at her sister distressedly: "You are still in your prime, you don't have to rely on him alone."

"I didn't say I wanted to rely on him alone. I've already thought about it. In fact, if you like someone, you don't necessarily have to be together to be happy.

Look at his young fiancée and childhood sweetheart, they are together now, but now they have to face these troubles every day, and they are jealous of each other, wondering whether Xu Musen is treating people fairly.

But as for me, I can like him if I want to, and ignore him if I don't want to. Every time he comes to see me, he has to serve me tea and snacks, and I don't have to take care of his emotions, nor do I have to be jealous of anyone. So who is happier and more blessed?"

Zhu Yulan smiled, as happy as if she was showing the spirit of Ah Q. She chewed the snacks in her mouth, but the tears in the corners of her eyes blurred her vision.

Zhu Xianglan looked at her sister silently, feeling very distressed but speechless for a moment.

The feelings between young people are an eternal mystery. Throughout the ages, both in ancient and modern times, in China and abroad, love always occupies a large part in all literature.

Since ancient times, no one has been able to truly give a standardized definition of love.

Even if some people get married and live together for a lifetime, it may not be true love.

As long as two people who are thousands of miles apart have a mutual understanding, we cannot say that they are unhappy.

But it is in this process of being pretentious, artificial and twisted that it truly proves that you are a living person.

Zhu Xianglan thought about her life, which was glorious and wealthy.

But she never had her own life, her own hobbies, and even her marriage was a transaction...

In this life, it seems that I have never truly had my own emotions and my own life.

Am I really happier than ordinary people? Am I really happier than my sister who can cry and laugh as much as she wants?
"Second sister."

Zhu Yulan came to her sister and gently wiped the tears from her eyes: "Let's go home."

Zhu Xianglan didn't even realize that she was crying. She wiped her eyes and said, "Go... home?"

This was the first time I heard the word "go home" from my sister's mouth.

"Aren't you afraid that your relatives will nag you again when you get home?"

"That's my home. There's no reason to be afraid of them."

Zhu Yulan smiled and said, "I always wanted to escape before, but at least this scumbag taught me something. Since the reality is already like this, escaping will only make things worse. Only by giving it a try can we get back more things that should belong to us."

Zhu Xianglan's eyes also brightened up as she looked at her sunny sister: "You, finally want to take over the family business?"

Zhu Yulan nodded and looked out the window. The crowded street was filled with people, and the sunlight fell on her fair cheeks.

"I'm not in the mood for some bullshit romantic love story right now. I just want to make money!"

"When I make a lot of money, he will have to look up to greet me when he sees me. Let this scumbag regret it!"

She took a deep breath, and the haze was swept away, and it seemed as if the once arrogant rich lady had returned again.

So dazzling, this is the original her.

Now, regarding the character of Zhu, it is difficult to elaborate in depth at the moment due to the length of the chapter, but you can tell us what you think. If many people like it, you can add to the extra chapter, and the ending will definitely be perfect.
