The straw bag beauty is on the rise

Hearing Jiang Xia's words, Li Man shook her head in doubt, with a hint of puzzlement: "No, what do you mean by your strange attitude? What kind of strangeness?"

Jiang Xia had a vague feeling and guess, but it was hard to say it out.

Firstly, she felt that this guess was too surprising and unlikely, and she was even more embarrassed to say it directly. Secondly, Jiang Xia felt that if she told Li Man before she was 100% sure, she could only let the other party do it. If you care about it, it won't have a positive effect.

So Jiang Xia said vaguely: "It's the kindness she treats you."

Li Man thought for a while, but still couldn't figure it out, "I don't know what you are referring to."

Jiang Xia said: "What do you think Song Chuji thinks of you now?"

Li Man hesitated: "Sister?"

But soon, she denied it herself.

"No, no, it's impossible." It was absolutely impossible for Song Chuji to treat Li Man as a sister, and the other party rejected such things very much.

Li Man said: "Friends."

Although it is not impossible, Jiang Xia narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, "Song Chuji takes care of his friends like this?"

Li Man didn't know. "I have never seen Song Chuji with her friends, and I don't know how she treats her best friend. Naturally, I can't compare it. But I just think that considering me as a friend is the most likely .”

Because Song Chuji really cares about her now, just like her friend.

Jiang Xia did not refute, she shrugged slightly, "Then consider them friends."

Now that the horoscope has not been written down, Jiang Xia thinks that maybe she is thinking too much.

After all, she is gay herself, so she can't look like everyone.

And a person like Song Chuji is obviously cold on the outside and hot on the inside, if she doesn't like you or accepts you, then her attitude will be indifferent and alienated.

But once someone is accepted by her and welcomes in with an open heart, then Song Chuji will be very pampered.

This is the attitude that Song Chuji would have in making friends.

And now that Li Man is the lucky one, it's no wonder that Song Chuji's attitude towards Li Man is very different.

Jiang Xia convinced herself, and cast aside Ji Yan to see others.

After the business trip, Li Man and Song Chuji went back. After returning to K City, she was taken away by Chang Yanzhi.

Chang Yanzhi is very concerned about the result of Li Man's business trip.

Li Man said: "It's okay... Song Chuji really didn't do anything that you worried about. On the contrary, I think she still cares about me."

Chang Yanzhi smiled coolly, "What do you care about, the weasel wishes the chicken a new year?"

"..."

Li Man retorted: "It's the concern of a friend. Didn't I tell you last time that Song Chuji's attitude towards me is no longer what it used to be."

But Chang Yanzhi didn't care about this, "It doesn't matter whether she treats you well or not, the most important thing is your Uncle Song's attitude towards you."

Li Man was a little helpless.

"Mom, you...Didn't I tell you that I don't want the Song family's property anymore, I have no interest in these at all."

Don't say that Li Man is a fool who has no blood relationship or even legal relationship with the Song family, but she has a relationship. Now she has no interest in inheriting the family business.

Li Man still loves money, but she doesn't have the deformed three views as before. She will no longer take it for granted that she is a part of the Song family's property.

In the past, Li Man thought that she was Chang Yanzhi's daughter, and Chang Yanzhi was Song Shangyan's girlfriend, and they were a family if they were rounded up, so there was nothing wrong with enjoying the benefits brought by the Song family.

But now, Li Man has understood clearly.

She is an outsider, and nothing in the Song family has anything to do with her.

Chang Yanzhi can enjoy the Song family's property - after she and Song Shangyan get married, or as a couple, she can enjoy Song Shangyan's gift as a matter of course.

And Li Man.

Some small money or sponsorship, she can accept it as Song Shangyan's kind help, but she can't take it for granted, let alone ask the Song family for money with confidence.

Li Man exhaled softly, "I really want to understand, Mom."

Chang Yanzhi dismissed her mentality and was even a little angry.

"Song Shangyan is your mother's boyfriend, and the Song family will be your home in the future. What do you mind?"

Li Man didn't know how else to tell her.

But now that Chang Yanzhi was in a fit of anger, Li Man couldn't refute, so she changed the subject, "In short, I know that Song Chuji is treating me very well now."

Chang Yanzhi didn't say anything anymore.

Because she had been faintly aware of this before, and although she still didn't know Song Chuji's purpose, the other party's change was good.

Chang Yanzhi always said that Song Chuji was scheming, but it wasn't all blind slander, in fact, it was more to make Li Man vigilant.

Otherwise, the longer Li Man and Song Chuji stay together, what if Li Man really likes Song Chuji and regards him as a close friend?

At that time, if Song Chuji had the slightest desire for revenge, Li Man would not be able to bear it.

So Chang Yanzhi had to give each other "vaccines" frequently.

Li Man thought of another thing, she lowered her voice, "Mom... in half a month, it will be Mrs. Song's death day."

When this matter was mentioned, Chang Yanzhi's face also froze.

She really has a clear conscience, but no matter who has been gossiped behind their backs all these years, it is impossible that they will not be affected at all.

So Chang Yanzhi was very concerned about this matter.

She stroked her hair irritably, "What does it have to do with me, it's not that I'm dead."

"..."

Li Man: "Mom."

Chang Yanzhi: "Understood."

She closed her mouth and said no more angry words.

Li Man said: "That day happens to be the weekend, so I won't come over."

Chang Yanzhi didn't say anything about Li Man, but nodded slightly.

After all, she still knew the importance of the matter clearly.

Besides, Chang Yanzhi had no malice towards the dead Mrs. Song, and Song Shangyan still loved Song Chuji, so Chang Yanzhi would not let Li Man appear to hurt Song Chuji that day.

If it really stimulated Song Chuji, it would do her all harm but no benefit.

Chang Yanzhi only exposed some of her "problems" in front of Li Man. After returning to the Song family and in front of Song Shangyan, Chang Yanzhi was that generous, gentle and virtuous girlfriend again.

She understands the seriousness.

After that, the days remained the same, except that the weather was colder, and there was no difference from before.

Li Man originally thought that Su Fuxia would chase them after they came back, but she didn't expect that Su Fuxia would not continue to harass them.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party was harassing Song Chuji, and it's normal that Li Man didn't notice anything.

Time slowly came to half a month later.

Li Man was much quieter when she got off work on Friday, and today she is not even as lively as usual.

When Li Man walked out of her small office, she saw Song Chuji still working.

The other party lowered their eyes slightly, and their eyes fell on the computer screen. There was no fluctuating face that made it difficult to see through her emotions.

Of course, Li Man wouldn't be so stupid as to ask Song Chuji directly, she just said: "I'm off work, I, I'll go back first."

Song Chuji raised his eyes and glanced at Li Man, then nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Li Man also nodded hurriedly.

Before leaving, she subconsciously looked back at Song Chuji.

The light from the office shone on her face, which made her look a little soft, and it might be because of Li Man's psychological effect. Now that she looked at Song Chuji again, she didn't feel that the other party was a cold and harsh person.

Thinking of Song Chuji's age when Song's mother passed away, Li Man's heart was suddenly touched.

No matter how mature and stable he looks now, or how precocious he used to be, at that time, Song Chuji was still a child.

After she lost her mother, she was forced to accept that her father fell in love with another woman. This must be very painful for Song Chuji.

Inexplicably, Li Man felt sorry for Song Chuji.

But after she came to her senses, she couldn't help laughing at herself. What qualifications and stand did she have to feel sorry for Song Chuji? Maybe Song Chuji didn't want her to feel sorry for her.

Even her distress could only arouse Song Chuji's disgust.

Because in this matter, Li Man's identity was extremely embarrassing.

So she didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, as if she didn't know about it.

There was a slight sound from the office door, Song Chuji raised his eyes, Li Man had already left.

She slowly stopped what she was doing and pinched the space between her eyebrows.

Song Chuji didn't forget about tomorrow's day, she just didn't associate Li Man's depressed mood with this.

Since Song Chuji didn't hate Li Man, he gradually forgave him from the bottom of his heart, so he won't feel disgusted towards Li Man tomorrow.

Therefore, he couldn't figure out the reason of Li Man quickly.

But Song Chuji was aware of this matter, so, just thinking about it a little, she understood the reason why Li Man seemed so depressed today.

Song Chuji propped his forehead, and sighed with downcast eyes.

This is a horizontal ditch between her and Li Man, she has already crossed it with one foot, very quickly.

Song Chuji knew that Li Man's mother and daughter were innocent, but reason could not control emotions.

Fortunately, now... she can almost control it.

Tell Li Man directly tomorrow.

In the evening, Song Chuji went back to Song's house and met Song's father who also got off work early.

Song Chuji stopped, his eyes slightly complicated.

Song Shangyan said: "I'm back."

Song Chuji lowered his eyes and answered.

Song Shangyan didn't say much, "Since you're back, let's go into the house."

Song Chuji said: "I'll go to the room and have a look."

This room refers to a small room that Mrs. Song used to have when she was still alive. It is not suitable to say that it is a dressing room, cloakroom or work room, because the things piled up here are a bit complicated and everything is included.

Later when Song Chuji moved out, he also took most of Mrs. Song's things, but some were left by Song's father.

Song Chuji opened the door and walked in. The layout inside was still the same as before.

She exhaled lightly, eyes filled with astringency.

Looking at these familiar things, Song Chuji's mind flooded with memories.

Even though Mrs. Song had passed away for many years, Song Chuji still felt uncomfortable thinking of this.

In the evening, when Song Chuji went downstairs, the servants at home had already prepared meals.

Song Chuji glanced at the dining table, frowned slightly, "Where's Li Man?"

Song Shangyan did not expect that Song Chuji would ask Li Man, after all... Song Chuji had a bad expression when he saw Li Man, let alone on such a day.

Song Shangyan looked at Chang Yanzhi.

Chang Yanzhi smiled slightly, "Manman is not feeling well today, and she doesn't want to run back and forth. She just wants to go to the hospital and go back to her small apartment to rest after seeing her illness. I didn't stop her."

Song Shangyan probably guessed the truth, but still frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't you come here? There is also a family doctor here who can look at it directly. Why bother going to the hospital and going to the hospital by yourself?"

Chang Yanzhi: "It's okay, don't worry about her, it's not such a serious illness."

Song Shangyan understood, nodded lightly, and revealed the matter tacitly.

Song Chuji sat there, lowering his eyes slightly.

She is not stupid, so she naturally knew that what Chang Yanzhi said was not true, but... Song Chuji didn't intend to ask more questions here.

After eating, Song Chuji followed Song Shangyan to the study.

Song Shangyan had a lot of things he wanted to say to Song Chuji, but at the end he couldn't say anything, so he could only tell Song Chuji to take good care of his body.

These two relatives were the only ones staying in the Song family these years, not to mention that Song Chuji was Father Song's only biological daughter, how could Song Shangyan not love her.

It's just that as Song Chuji grew older and had more and more thoughts of his own, the two became estranged.

Besides, fathers can never be as close as mothers to their daughters.

The two had a brief conversation in the study, and Song's father cared about Song Chuji's mood.

"Rouge and Manman..."

Song Shangyan rubbed his eyebrows, not knowing what to say.

It is true that Chang Yanzhi has been putting up with Song Chuji, but in such a day, is it necessary for him to persuade Song Chuji to be more magnanimous and not to make trouble?Song Shangyan couldn't do it.

Even if it wasn't such a day, he wouldn't be able to say that directly to his daughter.

Song Chuji understood Song Shangyan's thoughts, but this time she did not reject it.

Song Chuji said lightly: "Don't worry, I know it well."

In the past, upon hearing their names from Song Shangyan, Song Chuji would turn his back on each other.

Song Shangyan nodded, "Since you say so, then I can rest assured."

Song Chuji walked out of the study.

When she returned to her room, she lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then called Li Man anyway.

Li Man casually ordered a takeaway at home, and she was a little surprised when she received a call from Song Chuji, "Hello? Song Chuji...?"

Song Chuji said lightly, "It's me."

Li Man scratched her cheek, "Well, what are you looking for from me?"

Song Chuji lowered his eyes and asked directly: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Man: "Huh?"

She swallowed back the word "no" that she was about to say, and she keenly realized that this was Chang Yanzhi's excuse for her.

So Li Man said: "Ah... it's a little bit, but it's not serious, don't worry, and I won't work overtime tomorrow, so I'll just stay at home and rest."

By the way, she also explained in advance the reasons for not going to Song's house on weekends, Li Man felt that she was really smart.

But she obviously didn't expect that Song Chuji had already guessed everything.

Hearing Li Man's lies, Song Chuji didn't feel angry, but felt helpless.

After all, isn't it obvious why the other party reacted like this.

Song Chuji bent his lips helplessly: "What are you having for dinner?"

Li Man blurted out the word "takeaway".

Song Chuji: "..."

Li Man thought, she must have said something wrong, right?Will sick people order takeaway?

Li Man added: "I was too lazy, so I ordered takeaway. You also know that when people are uncomfortable, they don't want to make things by themselves, and they don't want to go out to eat. They just want to squat at home."

Song Chuji snorted lightly, not because he was angry, but because he was simply amused by Li Man's anxious and clumsy look for a reason.

She could even imagine Li Man's appearance, she must have tensed her back a little nervously, blinking her eyes, desperately trying to find an excuse, and then lying carefully, like a rabbit with a short tail.

At this moment, Song Chuji had the urge to tell the truth.

On the other hand, Li Man was still defending.

"Li Man."

Song Chuji's voice was faint, her voice wasn't exactly that cold type, but maybe it was affected by her temperament, and her speaking tone was also very calm, which inexplicably reminded people of alienation and coldness.

Li Man's voice paused.

Song Chuji asked: "You don't have to do this, actually I'm not angry with you."

Li Man blinked her eyelashes, not sure what she heard just now.

"what……?"

Song Chuji directly pointed out: "I know that the reason why you don't come today is because you are concerned about my mother's death day."

Hearing Song Chuji's words, Li Man went dumb and didn't know what to say.

"My……"

How should I answer this?

But Song Chuji didn't care either.

"Actually, before, on days like this, I really didn't want to see you and her, even if I heard your names from Dad, I would feel so angry."

On the other side of the phone, Li Man touched the tip of her nose.

It does seem serious.

"But not now, and it won't be like this anymore. I'm not as mindful and angry as I was before."

Song Chuji knew the truth of the matter very well, all these years were nothing more than venting anger.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you come to Song's house. I won't get angry because of such a thing. On the contrary, I can already see it."

Li Man didn't know how to answer, "Is this so?"

Song Chuji responded in a low voice.

"I used to be angry and vent my anger, but now, I care more about your situation."

Li Man was startled, and subconsciously repeated: "What about me?"

Song Chuji: "I'm a little worried that you will feel sad because of the misunderstanding."

"..." Li Man's fingers clenched tightly.

She couldn't explain the emotions in her heart, so she could only say softly: "No, I didn't..."

Li Man didn't know what to say.

She was indeed not angry because of Song Chuji's misunderstanding, but was she really not sad at all?

When she was saying goodbye to Song Chuji after get off work, did Li Man really not have any thoughts in her heart that she wanted the other party to keep her?

Li Man was speechless because she had really thought about it.
