The peak showdown

Life is still going on as usual, except for the five big characters "Happy New Year's Day" reflected in the street shops, the rest is the same as usual.Cars are still coming and going on the road, and the breakfast shop is still selling breakfast early.

The snow from last night was still pressing down on the high-rise buildings. The workers rushed to clear the snow on the city roads all night, and the cars drove by, splashing snow water again and again.

Lu Yan is preparing to endorse Huaan Group's diamond ring "turelove" recently, and it is just in time for New Year's Day, so it is inevitable to visit Xiao's house.She didn't want to go, although she felt that she did the right thing about what happened yesterday, but if she saw Xiao Lan again today, it would still be a little embarrassing.

What's more, the situation of the Xiao family made her uncomfortable.

The window of the car was covered with fog, making it impossible to see the outside scene clearly, Lu Yan lowered his head and buried his face in the thick long scarf.

It's so cold!

The car drove to the Xiao's villa in the suburbs. Butler Ling was instructing the servants to clear the snow. The cedar beside the altar was weighed down by the snow and its branches were drooping, but the wintersweet on the opposite side was in bloom. In winter, it looks very appropriate.

The difference from the last time is that this time when Lu Yan entered the door, the first thing he saw was a woman sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper with a dignified and elegant posture.

The woman is holding a cup of morning tea, sitting in an unusually ladylike posture, and one can tell that she is a lady of every family.She is not coquettish and good-looking, but she gives people a comfortable and warm feeling, making people feel that she is very kind and wants to get close.

Is this Xiao Lan's mother?

When he got closer, he realized that the woman's eyebrows and eyes did not look like Xiao Lan, but more like Xiao Shunbin.

Lu Yan walked over and smiled tactfully: "Mrs. Xiao."

Mrs. Xiao quickly put down her morning tea, stood up and shook hands with her, "Hello! Are you looking for Baixiang?"

"Yes! Isn't Uncle Xiao at home?"

Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "He went out and hasn't come back yet, why don't you sit here and wait? Or..." She looked upstairs, "Or should I ask Shun Bin to come down to accompany you?"

Lu Yan waved his hand, and declined politely: "No need Ma'am, I can also talk with you."

She didn't want to see that romantic | wandering ghost on the first day of the new year.

The room was warm. Lu Yan took off her scarf and coat, revealing the white bottoming sweater inside. The sweater was tight-fitting, boldly showing the tight lines of her upper body.

"Is it cold outside?"

Lu Yan rubbed his hands together: "It's okay, it's quite cold."

Mrs. Xiao frowned: "I told Baixiang to put on some more clothes, but he didn't listen. There was a heavy snowfall last night. Even at such an age, he still looks like a child. He doesn't know how warm or cold he is."

Lu Yan followed with a smile, thinking that Mrs. Xiao is a lovely lady, and it seems that she must have a good relationship with Xiao Baixiang.

The servants brought all kinds of desserts and milk. The desserts were the homemade royal cookies. The colors represented different flavors. They were placed on two exquisite small plates, which looked extremely high-end and atmospheric.This fragrance smelled like it had just come out of the oven, and it was still slightly steaming.

Mrs. Xiao said softly: "Baixiang should be back soon, eat something and drink a glass of milk to warm up."

Lu Yan thanked him without being tactful. He picked up the biscuit and ate it. The sweetness of the biscuit was fresh and wrapped in various pieces of dried fruit, which tasted great.

Lu Yan is a foodie, but unfortunately, in order to maintain his personality and figure, he insisted on eliminating all kinds of snacks.Now, facing this plate of hot soufflé cookies that just came out of the oven, I ate a plate in one go.

Madam Xiao smiled and offered her a cup of hot milk: "Drink some milk, don't choke."

Lu Yan took the milk and smiled at her naturally. For some reason, she liked this Mrs. Xiao very much and thought she was very kind.In this way, she was no longer restrained, and chatted with Mrs. Xiao about the family affairs naturally.

The living room became lively in an instant. Xiao Shunbin probably heard the commotion downstairs. Wearing cotton trousers and shirtless, he walked down the stairs. So it's Boss Lu?"

Both of them turned their heads when they heard the words, Madam Xiao immediately reprimanded: "There are female guests at home, why are you dressed like this, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Xiao Shunbin pretended not to hear, walked over lavishly and sat next to Lu Yan, picked up the cookies on the plate and ate them.

"The house is so warm, how can you catch a cold? Mom, you just love to worry about it."

Mrs. Xiao gave him a blank look, and shouted upstairs: "Feng Ping, take off the young master's coat."

Feng Ping hurried down and took a padded jacket. Xiao Shunbin had no choice but to raise his hand to ask Feng Ping to help him put it on. He didn't intend to pull up the zipper of the padded jacket, only showing his sexy and perfect six-pack abs.

……

Lu Yan couldn't eat the cookies anymore, and his stomach felt empty. Xiao Shunbin stretched out his clothes and opened his mouth to eat. In the cold weather, he even showed his six-pack abs. Who will see?But Xiao Shunbin looked at her with a very satisfied look, why?Do you think she will scream for his six-pack abs?She has seen too many people who are better than him.

If she hadn't seen Mrs. Xiao still here, she really wanted to stay as far away as possible.

Being stared at by this wind｜ghostly eyes, Lu Yan began to feel uncomfortable. She picked up the milk and pretended to be calm, and was about to ask Mrs. Xiao where Xiao Baixiang was, when there was a sound at the door, Xiao Baixiang's scolding sound, accompanied by Follow Butler Ling's request for peace and explanation.

The magnificent and stately door was pushed open violently, and a smell of alcohol and tobacco came over him. Lu Yan frowned, seeing Mrs. Xiao standing up almost habitually, her expression became a little nervous.

Lu Yan was puzzled for a while, and he opened his eyes wide for a long time before he saw the person walking towards him clearly.

It's Xiao Lan.

Xiao Baixiang followed behind her, with an extremely ugly face, ignoring the guests at home, pointing at her and yelling at her: "How old are you, those who don't go home in heavy snow, are always fooling around outside, look at what you have done What do you look like, you smell like alcohol and tobacco, who would dare to want you in the future?"

Xiao Lan's eyes were lifeless, and she also ignored Xiao Baixiang's scolding. The moment she saw Lu Yan, Lu Yan seemed to see a gleam of light flashing in her eyes suddenly for her.

But soon it went out again.

Mrs. Xiao stepped forward to pick up the coat she had thrown on the sofa, and asked carefully, "Why are you wearing so little? Have you eaten breakfast? You're not afraid of hurting your stomach after drinking so much?"

Xiao Lan didn't look at her, and turned around to look at the person sitting on the sofa. Her cold eyes fell on Xiao Shunbin's open coat, and then she raised her eyelids to stare at him closely. Although she was lifeless, it was enough to freeze three feet , that look seemed to be a warning, and it seemed that he was about to kill someone in the next moment.

Xiao Shunbin shuddered.

At this moment, if he closes the zipper properly, he will definitely look cowardly and useless; but if he does not close the zipper, Xiao Lan will definitely not let it go.But……

strangeness!Why is Xiao Lan so strange?He turned his head to look at Lu Yan, and found that she didn't look at her at all, then looked at Xiao Lan, and found that this person's eyes looked in Lu Yan's direction from time to time, that look, like...

It's as if there is a hidden desire | fire, wanting to tear Lu Yan into his belly every minute.

Xiao Shunbin smiled slyly, as if he had discovered something earth-shattering, so he had no choice but to go upstairs like this, to temporarily put an end to everything that happened here.

Xiao Baixiang was still teaching: "What's your attitude? How did you treat your Aunt Xu?"

"..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yan finally raised his head to look at the man, who still looked the same, as if Xiao Baixiang was not talking about her.She seemed to be looking at her all the time, but smiled at her the moment she looked up at her.

Like a poppy flower, dangerous and coquettish.

It turned out that Mrs. Xiao was not born, no wonder...

no wonder what?Lu Yan couldn't tell, what she probably wanted to know the most was the meaning of Xiao Lan's existence in this family.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a little distressed for no reason.

"Sorry, Xiaoyan, for keeping you waiting."

When she regained her thoughts, she found that Xiao Lan had already gone upstairs, and Xiao Baixiang was standing opposite her and smiled kindly at her, which was very different from the man who just pointed at Xiao Lan and cursed at her.

"Muyun is such an old man, every time you come here, you will see a joke."

Lu Yan smiled, and said obediently: "It's okay, Uncle Xiao, I just came here today to condolences to you, wish you a happy new year, and discuss the date of the endorsement with you by the way."

Mrs. Xiao gave up the living room to the two, and went upstairs and entered the room alone.In a blink of an eye, he and Xiao Baixiang were the only ones left in the bustling hall just now.

Lu Yan was a little uncomfortable.

"Do you have any plans for the near future?"

Lu Yan replied: "No. If you want to endorse, you can do it before the year."

"Yeah!" Xiao Baixiang rubbed his hands and was very satisfied with the time Lu Yan said, "A year ago couldn't be better, and I originally planned to finish it a year ago. Look, how is this Saturday?"

Lu Yan said: "Yes!"

Xiao Baixiang said: "Then it's settled."

"Okay." She seemed to think of something again, and asked, "Then Master Xiao..."

Xiao Baixiang smiled: "It's easy for him to arrange, he has a lot of time, don't worry!"

The two talked smoothly, and after the negotiation was completed, Xiao Baixiang invited Lu Yan to stay for lunch again.Lu Yan thought about it, he had already refused once last time, so he couldn't refuse this time, and besides, it was a big festival, so he readily agreed.

Not talking about work matters, Lu Yan began to feel more and more uncomfortable. She was sitting in the living room, neither sitting nor standing. Mrs. Xiao had already gone to the kitchen to order lunch, leaving her and Xiao Baixiang staring at each other. Eye.The two are not from the same age, and the Xiao family and the Lu family are not family friends, and the generation gap is also very large. Apart from work, there are really no other topics to talk about.

At this time, Xiao Lan came down after taking a shower. She was wearing a thick white pajamas, her white ankles were exposed from the slippers, and she was stepping on the wooden stairs, with a beautiful purple Bana flower tattooed on it.

Her short hair was blown to the point of dryness, and it was scattered on her head in an irregular manner. Although it was messy, it was full of girlishness.When she reached the second stairway, she suddenly stopped, leaning lazily on the railing, smiling innocently.

"Since sister Lu is staying for dinner, come and sit in my room for a while! The living room is very boring, so spend time with me."

That was Xiao Lan she had never seen before.

"..."

Lu Yan didn't know why he followed up, obviously he should feel very embarrassed after what happened yesterday.But I also felt that Xiao Lan's call of Sister Lu was very pleasant.

The author has something to say: Xiao Lan: Sister Lu!
