Chapter 289: Chapter 270 Research on Men_2
And Chen Na also pursed her lips in a smile, “Okay.”
Ji Ya’s cheeks flushed red, probably realizing something from the exchange of glances.
Knowing that Shen Yuan was staying, Xinyu became particularly active, and after washing the dishes, she began to wash some fruit.
She washed some green grapes and blueberries, and also took out some lychees, placing them on the coffee table in the living room.
“Brother-in-law, have some,” she said.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
“Sure,” he said.
Shen Yuan smiled and picked up a lychee to peel.
However, he was likely going to disappoint his sister-in-law tonight; after all, he planned to take care of Ji Ya. There’s a saying that goes “A period of absence is good for one’s relationship.”
While Shen Yuan was peeling lychees, Liew Menglu was preparing light food in the apartment in anticipation of Long Jinghan and Qiao Lei’s arrival.
As she was busy, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Liew Menglu thought her sisters had arrived, so she went to open the door, but to her surprise, it was the landlady.
“Sister Xsu, what’s up?”
“I heard you’re moving out in a couple of days, and I just came to check on the apartments. I thought I’d stop by to see if there’s anything I can help with,” the landlady smiled.
That landlady, referred to as “Sister Xsu,” said with a smile.
“There’s nothing, Sister Xsu. Thank you for your care over these three years. I can handle the moving, and if I can’t, I’ll ask for your help.”
Liew Menglu had always had a good relationship with the landlady Sister Xsu, and they often interacted. Sometimes, when Sister Xsu was one short for a game of Mahjong, she would call on Liew Menglu to fill in.
And Liew Menglu often went to Sister Xsu’s house for meals.
“Once you’ve moved there, don’t forget about this place, okay? Come and visit when you have time,” Sister Xsu said with a kind smile on her face, though feeling quite sentimental inside.
When she first met Liew Menglu, Meng Lu was just a girl who had graduated from college a year ago,
Despite having graduated only a year, Liew Menglu was not lacking in emotional intelligence and was a sweet talker.
With her good looks and figure, Sister Xsu had even introduced several suitors to her.
The suitors Sister Xsu introduced were not bad at all; in fact, they could be considered quite outstanding among their peers. But Liew Menglu led them on, keeping them all in her “pond.”
Let alone getting to a hotel room, they couldn’t even get a touch.
Sister Xsu, in her forties and a landlady for many years, and having seen so many tenants, had a keen eye. She could tell right away that Liew Menglu was not interested in those men.
At her age, there were not many girls who could endure loneliness and refuse to settle for less.
And Liew Menglu was just that kind of person, which is why Sister Xsu was sure that Liew Menglu wouldn’t end up badly in the future.
Now, this year, Sister Xsu finally noticed a change in Liew Menglu’s WeChat Moments.
A two-million-yuan Porsche 911, various LV, Prada, Hermès bags, transfer records of tens of thousands of yuan, even a house worth three million yuan…
Posting on WeChat Moments might seem vulgar, but what is widely accepted often becomes elegant. There was nothing wrong, Sister Xsu felt, with sharing things you like and are proud of with friends.
But Sister Xsu was also very observant. In Liew Menglu’s WeChat Moments, the transfer records were blurred, and the photos from outings showed at most a hand or a shadow.
This said a lot. On one hand, Liew Menglu was announcing that she was no longer single.
On the more important hand, Liew Menglu dared not reveal the man’s identity.
This meant that although Liew Menglu had found herself a wealthy supporter, she was not the main partner but the “mistress,” or even “the other woman” ranked fourth or fifth.
But for a man to spend so much money on a mistress or someone even less significant, it showed his deep financial strength.
A three-million-yuan house, a two-million-yuan car, and all those transfers and luxury bags – all of it added up to almost ten million yuan.
Even Sister Xsu, a woman in her forties, was tempted. What woman wouldn’t be dazzled by a man who spends so generously?
If she hadn’t been past her prime, she would have liked to meet that man.
“Of course, Sister Xsu, definitely,” Liew Menglu replied with a radiant smile.
“Alright, I’m off,” Sister Xsu waved her hand and was ready to head down in the elevator.
At that moment, the elevator “dinged” as it reached the floor, and Sister Xsu saw two girls in the elevator hall.
Her gaze involuntarily paused; this floor was full of apartments she rented out, and it didn’t seem like these two beauties lived here.
Today was indeed rare, encountering such high-quality beauties everywhere.
Sister Xsu silently shook her head and then walked into the elevator.
The two girls who had taken the elevator up were Long Jinghan and Qiao Lei, who had just finished their yoga practice before coming to Liew Menglu’s place.
The two knocked and entered, greeted warmly by Liew Menglu, “You’re here, come on in, we can start eating soon.”
“Thank you, Meng Lu,”
Long Jinghan nodded politely.
Qiao Lei, however, was sizing up the exquisite apartment, clean and neat, the furniture arranged orderly, and there were quite a few books on the desk.
Qiao Lei walked over to take a look and suddenly paused.
“What Men Are Thinking—Understanding Men’s Logic,” “The Weakness of Human Nature,” “Men’s Health Psychology,” “Men Are Such Beings”…
Was this Liew Menglu’s reading list? She studied men every day?
Long Jinghan noticed Qiao Lei was lost in thought and came over, looking in the same direction, her little brain also a bit baffled.
Turns out Shen Yuan treating Liew Menglu better wasn’t without reason. Their loss wasn’t unjustified after all…
Look at the depth of her study, then compare it to what they were learning every day.
“Jinghan, no wonder Shen Yuan likes Meng Lu more and treats her better; turns out she has put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.”
Qiao Lei remarked thoughtfully, then flipped through the books: “You can tell these books are frequently browsed.”
Long Jinghan nodded affirmatively, “Yeah, later you could ask Meng Lu for some tips, listen to her talk about her experiences.”
“Aren’t you going to ask for advice?”
“Well, after you ask, I’ll just listen in.”
“…”
Soon, Liew Menglu brought out two plates stacked with many low-fat foods.
Whole grain bread, lean beef, eggs, avocado, broccoli…
“Time to eat, come on, come on, one plate each.”
Liew Menglu placed the two plates on the dining table, beckoning them over.
Qiao Lei, holding a copy of “Men Are Such Beings,” came over and asked, “Meng Lu, do you usually study these things at home?”
Liew Menglu smiled wryly, “You need to learn to improve, as normal.”
“So what have you learned?” Qiao Lei asked.
“I haven’t learned anything, some things mentioned in the books can be verified on men, and some can’t. The methods have to be applied according to the actual situation.”
Liew Menglu gently shook her head, “Ah, no matter how much you learn some things, they are useless. Shen Yuan actually prefers the type that’s like a blank slate.”
Qiao Lei cast a doubtful look, “You’re not just saying that because you don’t want us to learn, are you? Now we are sisters in the same trench; we should improve together.”
“Really, I’m not lying to you.”
Liew Menglu replied earnestly, “Sometimes, knowing too much is obviously apparent to Shen Yuan. Instead, he prefers someone a bit clueless—he likes the process of teaching them.”
“I see.”
“Yeah.”
Liew Menglu then went to get her own plate of light food and sat down.
She felt quite lonely when she thought about it; unexpectedly, she had reached the point where she had no friends around, and even had to invite her “competition” over for company.
Ever since getting together with Shen Yuan, her former group of three best friends had become estranged—one, Nana, was only with them in body, not in spirit, and the other, Qianqian, was filled with negativity. After the last time she asked Qianqian to advise on interior decoration style, they hadn’t even chatted on WeChat anymore.
Sigh~
