Chapter 72

When night fell, the mother and daughter pair lied down on the same bed and chatted. They talked about some things that happened when they were not by each other's side. Yi Lan You knew that Yuan Hui had levelled up.

The finance department's director was a bald uncle, always secretly farting and thinking that no one knew. The manager of the Finance Department was young but talented and took care of his subordinates.

Yi Lan You told her that he was very good to her in Yi Mansion and that he treated her very well in high school. Her classmates treated her quite well and she even became the class monitor.

The two leaned their heads together as they chatted about the mother and daughter pair. "You Ye, do you have any boys you like at school?"

"Nope." Yi Lan You shook his head, "Right now, I am very nervous about learning everyday."

"Oh." Yuan Hui nodded his head: "If you have a boyfriend, bring them over for mom to check for you."

"Someone from the Long's came to look for you?" Yuan Hui was startled.

"Yeah." Yi Lan You thought about what his mother might have known after hearing Yuan Hui's words, and asked: "Mother, do you know why Grandfather pointed me out to the Long's?"

"That's what corporate marriage is all about." Yuan Hui sighed: "If you don't like the marriage, then go ahead and break it."

"Right." Yi Lan You nodded her head, she had finally managed to negotiate a deal with Long Tian Qi, but now was not the time to break the engagement: "I'll inspect first."

"Right." Yuan Hui reached out her hands and carefully hugged Yi Lan You, "You You You, if you don't feel happy staying with daddy, then go back to Mom's place for a few days. Although it can't be like your dad's, Mom's salary is still more than enough to support us two." She knew that Fang Fang would definitely make things difficult for her, and she didn't want Yi Lan You to leave her either. However, since it was related to her daughter's future, she, as a mother, would only hope for her daughter to surpass him.

"Mother... "I'm fine." Nestled in Yuan Hui's embrace, Yi Lan You closed her eyes and took a whiff of the faint fragrance on Yuan Hui's body. She remembered another fight upstairs, it was very fierce, the women's cries for mercy made her afraid to do it. At that time, Yuan Hui had hugged her to sleep, and she would feel at ease as long as she smelled the scent on Yuan Hui's body.

… ….

The next day, the mother and daughter pair slept until the sky brightened, when they sat up, their hearts were moved for a moment, the pain made Yi Lan You grimace, and the sleepiness disappeared completely.

"Does it hurt?" Yuan Hui looked at Yi Lan You with a pained expression: "Do you need to go to the hospital to take another look?"

"No, it's fine." Yi Lan You shook his head lightly, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Then go wash up, I'll go cook for you." Yuan Hui lightly tapped the tip of his nose: "What do you want to eat?"

"Chicken egg soup." Yi Lan You especially liked to eat the egg soup made by Yuan Hui.

"Sure." Yuan Hui helped her up and carefully walked to the washroom door. Then, she turned around, folded the blanket that was covering the two of them, tidied up her hair and went back to the kitchen to make egg soup.

After Yi Lan You took care of himself with his left hand, Yuan Hui finished his breakfast.

After the mother and daughter talked and laughed as they ate breakfast, Yi Lan You pulled Yuan Hui out of the door and called a taxi to the real estate agency in the city.

Seeing the mother and daughter enter, the agent immediately stood up and said, "Welcome, do you want to rent or buy a house?" As a girl in her early twenties, she had a sunny smile and wore a clean set of professional attire. The sight of her gave people a rather comfortable feeling …

"Rent." Yi Lan You replied.

"Alright, please take a seat over here." The girl got up and poured two cups of water before Yi Lan You and Yuan Hui: "I'm Chen Yu, you can call me Little Chen." He attached his business card with both hands.

After receiving the name card, Yuan Hui said: "My surname is Yuan, this is my daughter."

"Hello, Auntie Yuan." Chen Yu opened her work book and asked, "Which area do you want to rent? What's the budget? Do you have any requirements?"

"Stay close to City First Middle School." This was Yuan Hui's only request.

"Cai Guang should be better. The residential property should be better, quiet and safe. I don't want anyone from the first or second floor." Yi Lan You brought up his own request: "You can cook normally in your home, but you must have all kinds of washing machines in the air-conditioner's refrigerator, so it's best if you can take your bag and stay here."

"Oh, oh." As Chen Yu recorded, she asked, "How many of you are staying here?"

"Just me." Yuan Hui replied.

"We have three houses here to meet your needs." Chen Yu raised her head and said, "One is in two bedrooms, one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one in the Warm Garden District, one in the three bedrooms, two in the kitchen, two in the East Ascension District, and a single apartment in the East Ascension Residence District. The living room and kitchen are one and the same, plus a bathroom."

"What's the rent?" Yuan Hui asked.

"The Gentle Garden is the closest to City First Middle School so it's convenient to transport. Outside the small district is the bus stop, so the rent is slightly more expensive by 3000 months. 3500 for three rooms and two rooms, 1700 for a single apartment. "However, the Dong Sheng district is a bit far from the bus stop." Chen Yu said, "If it's just auntie living by herself, then that single apartment would actually be pretty good."

"Then let's take a look at the room." Yuan Hui felt that it was good to live in a single room, since she would be living there herself.

"Looking at a single apartment?" Chen Yu asked.

"Just look at the bachelor apartment." Yuan Hui nodded.

"Two rooms, one room." Yi Lan You answered at the same time.

"Right." Yuan Hui nodded her head, and after Chen Yu left, she said to Yi Lan You: "That single apartment is already not bad, since mother is living by herself, it's a bit wasteful to have two rooms per room, right?"

"True." Yuan Hui nodded her head. Chi Yue was busy every day, but thinking about it, the mother and daughter pair had to work really hard.

"Right." Yi Lan You said: "Xiao Man even bought fruit for your birthday, but I accidentally crushed it when I was rolling down the stairs."

"Then tell her I got it." Yuan Hui patted Yi Lan You's head, "You must be careful in the future, okay?"

"Right." Yi Lan You nodded, she would be very careful, she would definitely not give anyone else the chance to hurt her.
