The Landlady and The Amnesiac

56

Upon returning home, Luo Bei received a friendly message from Zhou Jianguo: “Did you fight? Did you win?”

In the minds of men, how do they really view women? Does it mean that if Yu Wei came to find her, they must have a conflict? It’s a strange way of thinking, Luo Bei thought. In TV dramas, the plot is always set up so that the female lead and the supporting female character have to quarrel and fight to create tension and advance the plot…

To be honest, in real life, Luo Bei rarely encounters unreasonable and quarrelsome women. Who would pick a fight for no reason?

Luo Bei replied to the message: “Sorry to disappoint you, we didn’t fight. Our conversation was very warm and harmonious. She even left me her name card and said she wants to hang out with me in the future.”

When Zhou Jianguo received this message, he was lying in bed resting. He was quite surprised, because according to the normal plot development, there would be some conflicts and disagreements between Luo Bei and that woman. He never thought that nothing happened and the calm surface did not even create a small ripple.

“Does the young lady like Xiao Jiang? She thought you were Xiao Jiang’s girlfriend?”

Luo Bei immediately replied, “Are you Fortune-Teller Zhou?”

“I have always been accurate in my predictions. The young lady seems to be quite wealthy, and I guess the Porsche parked next to your car is hers. Did she also tell you that she can help Xiao Jiang’s career and asked you to step down quickly?”

“She didn’t say it so directly, but basically that’s what she meant.”

“Did she promise you any benefits? Like giving you a villa or a car if you break up with Xiao Jiang?”

“….I don’t think so.”

Zhuo Jianguo sighed, “Seems a bit stingy. You almost became a rich woman because of this misunderstanding.”

Luo Bei also felt regretful, “She didn’t bribe me. If she gave me a check for five million, maybe I would have agreed. And then split it fifty-fifty with Xiao Jiang.”

“You remind me,” said Zhou Jianguo, “If there’s another rich woman who sets her sights on me and misunderstands our relationship, you should definitely raise the price a bit. Whether we can become wealthy and get rich at one stroke is up to you.”

Luo Bei : “…You said it. If you turn out to be a second-generation rich, and one day your dad or mom, or whoever, pays me to leave you, I’ll do it according to your plan.”

“Okay, you take the money and split half with me.”

The two of them were chatting and laughing.

They were discussing these nonsensical guesses with a serious expression, but at some point, they seemed to have become more and more in sync with each other.

While Luo Bei was still hesitating whether or not to tell Xiao Jiang about this, Zhou Jianguo sent another message, “It’s better to tell Xiao Jiang about this so he knows what’s going on. Otherwise, if he finds out from someone else, it might be awkward.”

Luo Bei thought he was right and gave Xiao Jiang a call. Although Xiao Jiang had just finished filming and was training at the company, they hardly had any chances to meet each other.

The web drama where he played the second male lead will soon be broadcasted on several platforms, and Luo Bei knows that their chances of meeting in the future will become fewer and fewer. Even worse, it’s possible that Jiang Sihan will soon move out of the urban village. Relationships between people tend to fade away gradually, and Luo Bei had already prepared herself for this when she dreamed of his future. Even if it wasn’t someone like Jiang Sihan, who was bound to become a future superstar, ordinary people will eventually become distant and end up as just a name on the contact list on the phone.
