"It's such a coincidence that the new tenant next door is also someone I need to take care of. It seems that we both need to take care of the children next door. In this case, I think it is more appropriate to take care of the children of the same gender."

The woman smiled and gave her reason.

Jin Tan looked at her in shock.

“You know Mubebe too?”

"I don't know her, but I'm familiar with her brother." the woman replied.

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Before leaving, she introduced herself to him again: "My last name is Shen, and my name is Shen Manzi."

Shen Manzi?

Never heard of it, don’t know it.

Jin Tan chased out and asked, "What do you want me to sell the house to you?"

"I've already told you that I won't sell it no matter what. Why are you still talking about it?"

Shen Manzi became impatient and retorted to him unhappily.

The housekeeper couldn't stand it anymore and immediately accused him, "How can you talk to our master like that? Do you know who our master is?"

"Huh, you didn't know before, but now you know. Jin Tan is a Manchu noble. But, are there still nobles in our country these days?" Shen Manzi said sarcastically.

Jin Tan's face flushed.

Some people had ridiculed him like this before, but in his opinion, the other party was just jealous and envious of his status and position.

But he really saw deep sarcasm in this woman's eyes.

She was definitely not envious, jealous or hateful, she just really looked down on him.

This realization made him very angry, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

Because she was right, the so-called nobility was nothing more than a face that a family saved for itself.

How many people really take them seriously?

"That's too much, sir. Don't be angry." The butler immediately comforted him.

Jin Tan said, "I'm not angry, Miss Shen, if you don't want to sell it, are you willing to rent it?"

"I live in it, do you think I will rent it?" Shen Manzi asked back.

Jin Tan thought for a moment and said, "The house seems to have two bedrooms and two living rooms. I can rent one of the rooms and it won't disturb you."

Shen Manzi: "..."

"Since you know about the two-bedroom, two-living-room apartment, why don't you rent Mu Beibei's house? You can be closer to her."

"I can't live in the same house with her," Jin Tan said seriously. "If we live together, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. It's better to keep a little distance."

"Oh, if you don't like me, you can live in the same room with me?"

"I can charge ten times more rent than the market price," said Jin Tan.

"No," Shen Manzi still refused. "I won't rent it even if it's twenty times higher. What a coincidence. I'm not short of money. I'm living here with my boyfriend. What's the point of you moving in? Just to be a light bulb?"

After saying that, Shen Manzi ignored him and walked back quickly.

Jin Tan sighed, turned around and asked the housekeeper, "Who is this Shen Manzi?"

"I don't know. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to deal with." The housekeeper was also troubled.

These days, there are still people who don’t love money?

But they have no other choice but to spend money.

"Master, why don't we buy another house? Even on different floors of the same building will do!" suggested the housekeeper.

Jin Tan thought about it and this was the only solution now.

"As close as possible."

"Okay, go upstairs or downstairs, I'll go ask right away." The housekeeper left happily.

Shen Manzi went upstairs and met Mu Siwen and Mu Beibei at the door.

Thinking of her meeting with Jin Tan just now, she couldn't help but smile and greeted him, "Are you going out?"

"Yes, take Beibei to buy some daily necessities." Mu Siwen said.

He quickly said to Mu Beibei: "Beibei, this is Sister Shen, say hello to her."

"Hello, Sister Shen. Wow, Sister Shen, you are so beautiful." Mu Beibei said in amazement.

Shen Manzi smiled and said, "You are also very beautiful, very beautiful to attract many people."

Mu Beibei didn't understand the hidden meaning of Shen Manzi's words. She looked at Shen Manzi and liked her very much.

Mu Siwen added: "From now on, you and Sister Shen will be neighbors. She is my good friend. If you encounter any trouble, you can go to her."

"Good friend? How good a friend? Will he become the kind that can become a sister-in-law?"

Mu Beibei's eyes lit up and he asked with a gossipy look on his face.

After asking, he smiled and teased Mu Siwen: "Brother, no wonder you insisted on finding a house for me yourself, that's why."

"What? Don't talk nonsense." Mu Siwen scolded her speechlessly.

However, before Mu Siwen could explain to her.

A person walked out from the stairs and said, "We are really good friends, and we will never become sisters-in-law. Because your sister Shen has someone else, and that man is me."

Mubebe looked at him.

The man was also good-looking and had a sturdy build, looking very imposing.

However, she still felt that her brother was better, being well-mannered and a gentleman.

Sister Shen is so beautiful, she should be with a gentle man like her brother.

"and who are you?"

"Since you call her Sister Shen, you can call me Brother-in-law Shen." The man said with a smile.

Mu Siwen introduced him to her: "Chu Ge, he is also my good friend. You have not lived in the capital since you were a child, so you have never met him."

"Brother Chu."

Mu Beibei greeted him, but he was obviously not as enthusiastic as he was towards Shen Manzi.

Chu Jingyu said to Mu Siwen: "Is this the sister you often mentioned before? However, I don't envy you anymore, because I also have a sister."

"Yes, you don't have to envy me." Mu Siwen said.

"Who is your sister? Bring her out to see."

Mu Beibei couldn't bear to see her brother being bullied, so she immediately asked provocatively.

She knew she was beautiful, so she just didn't believe that his sister was prettier and cuter than her?

"You also know her sister, Xiaochu." Mu Siwen took the initiative to say.

Mu Beibei was surprised: "So you are my sister's brother?"

"What do you mean sister's brother?" Chu Jingyu was confused by her.

Mu Siwen said, "You guys go home first! I'll take her out to buy some things."

"There are bees and butterflies at the door, be careful." Shen Manzi reminded with a smile.

At first, Mu Siwen didn’t understand what it meant, but when he went downstairs and saw Jin Tan from afar, he understood it all at once.

I sighed with a headache, but I couldn't say anything.

I have already accepted the gift, so what else can I do?

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Mu Beibei, the silly girl, knew nothing and ran over to say hello.

Jin Tan was a little flustered when he saw her, and he stammered to explain: "I was just passing by and was just looking around."

"What are you doing here?" Mu Beibei was puzzled.

Jin Tan is such a shrewd person, but when he meets Mu Beibei, his brain is not enough.

For a moment, I didn't know how to explain it so as not to arouse her suspicion.

Mu Siwen sighed.

I thought that his sister was in such an immature state that she could be fooled with just a random explanation.

It still gets stuck?

"We are going to go shopping, so we won't disturb you while you're shopping."

Taking the initiative to speak up is also a way to help him out.

After saying that, he pulled Mu Beibei away.

Mubebe left, but turned back to look at him, smiling and waving at him.

Jin Tan sighed, afraid that she would find out, yet also feeling uncomfortable that she didn't know.

This kind of inner torment almost caused him to suffer a nervous breakdown.

Fortunately, the housekeeper quickly gave him the news.

He paid half the market price for the house upstairs.

Sign the contract today, have someone pack the house tomorrow, and move in in two days.

Jin Tan breathed a sigh of relief, finally the matter was resolved.

Although we are not neighbors, it is convenient to go up and down the stairs and take care of her.

Shen Manzi was upstairs and saw Jin Tan and his housekeeper leaving.

She roughly guessed that he bought the house above or below theirs.

Chu Jingyu came over after taking a shower, hugged her from behind, and looked downstairs.

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at that man."

Shen Manzi nodded her chin and pointed it out to him.

Chu Jingyu has very good eyesight, and although he is far away, he can still see Jin Tan clearly.

He frowned and asked in confusion, "Why does he look so familiar? Do you know this pretty boy?"

"Jin Tan wants to buy my house and live next door to Mu Beibei. He likes Mu Beibei." Shen Manzi explained.

When Chu Jingyu heard that he liked Mu Beibei, he felt relieved instantly.

As long as it's not someone who's thinking about him.

but……

"He's not young anymore! He seems to be about the same age as me, but he actually likes a little girl. Is he shameless? Does Mu Siwen know about this? With his serious personality, wouldn't he be furious if he knew?"

"He should know! Gu Mingchen knows everything and he supports it. Susu told me." Shen Manzi said.

Chu Jingyu shook his head. The world is going downhill.

If it was his sister, he would definitely break Mr. Jin's legs.

"Mu Beibei, don't you know that from now on, everyone living upstairs and downstairs will be neighbors. Be careful with your words and don't let the little girl notice." Shen Manzi instructed again.

"She doesn't know? The whole world knows it, why doesn't she know?" Chu Jingyu was puzzled.

"Because he is not emotionally intelligent yet and doesn't understand things between men and women." Shen Manzi replied.

Chu Jingyu laughed and shook his head. It turned out that he was still a little fool.

However, he doesn't care whether they know it or not, or whether they are in a relationship or not, it has nothing to do with him.

His wife is pregnant now, so he doesn't need to worry about other people's affairs.

"What are we having for dinner today? I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?"

"Would you like me to cut a plate of braised beef?" Shen Manzi asked.

"Yes, you take a rest, I will cut it myself."

I couldn't bear to let her do it, so I quickly put on an apron, washed my hands and went to cut the beef.

The beef was braised by Shen Manzi and it tasted very good.

At first it was the Jiangcheng flavor, which was a bit sweet and he didn’t like it very much.

After she knew this, she learned the taste of Beijing, and now her taste is no different from that of Beijing.

After he finished cutting the beef, he quickly washed some green vegetables, mixed some noodles, took out some seafood and stir-fried them to make a seafood noodle soup.

I also used the half bag of shrimps left over from last time, fried some shrimp balls, and thickened them with tomato juice.

He doesn't like sweet things, but he knows Shen Manzi likes them.

Therefore, he also learned to cook several dishes with a sweet taste.

Every time she cooks, there are always two flavors that she likes.

Shen Manzi was lying lazily on the sofa reading a book, looking up at the kitchen from time to time.

Chu Jingyu was wearing a floral apron and was busy inside.

The busy figure made her feel warm and funny.

"Manman, wash your hands and eat."

Soon, Chu Jingyu prepared the meal, brought it to the table, and called out.

Shen Manzi put down the book, put on her slippers, washed her hands and came out.

However, as soon as she went out, she was hugged by Chu Jingyu who was lying in ambush and given a big kiss.
