She always plays cards out of the ordinary

Guan Juer wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, and said speechlessly, "As the CEO of a large company, you still need someone to have dinner with you? Just say the word, and there will be countless people who want to come and have dinner with you."

"But none of them are you."

"What?" Guan Juer was drinking soup with her head down, so she didn't hear clearly what Tan Zongming said.

Seeing this, Tan Zongming had no choice but to say, "After get off work, it's also my rest time. I also want to be with my friends."

"Okay then, but if you need anything else, just go do it. I can do it by myself."

"Okay, if I have anything, I'll let you know."

After finishing her meal, Guan Juer pretended to go to the restroom, but actually went to the front desk to pay the bill, only to be told that the bill had already been paid.

"When did you go to pay the bill?" Guan Juer sat back in her seat angrily, her cheeks puffed up like an angry little rabbit, and Tan Zongming almost raised his hand to pinch her face.

Then he thought that if he did so, his intention might be exposed, so he had to suppress it. Through this period of understanding, Tan Zongming knew that if he expressed his love for Guan Juer, she would definitely reject him directly like she did to other suitors in the past, and they might not even be friends. Therefore, he adopted a method that he used to despise the most, boiling the frog in warm water.

In the past, Tan Zongming smoked, drank and had lots of women. The ambiguity between adults can be understood with just one look: he wanted her body, she wanted her money, and they each got what they wanted. But in recent years, perhaps he was attracted by Guan Juer's smile at that moment, or perhaps he was tired of the life of feasting and revelry day after day, he began to hope to have someone around him to accompany him. So when he saw Guan Juer again on the plane, he confirmed his feelings.

"This restaurant is a membership-based restaurant, and we only need to settle the bill at the end of the month. Xiaoguan, I know you want to treat me to a meal to thank me, but as friends, it is normal to help each other. You don't need to be so clear with me."

Guan Juer thought about it and felt that she was a little reserved. "Okay."

After dinner, the two walked on the street to digest the food, and then Tan Zongming drove Guan Juer home.

For a period of time that followed, the two had dinner together every day and became more and more familiar with each other.

The renovation of the 22nd floor was finally completed. Guan Juer called Tan Zongming specifically on the same day, saying that she wanted to go home early to rest and she would not have dinner with him. Tan Zongming also knew that she was a "poor student" who loved sleeping more than anything else, so he drove her back to Ode to Joy personally after get off work.

As soon as Guan Juer got off the car, she ran into Qu Xiaoxiao and Qu's father and mother who were moving. Qu Xiaoxiao saw such a stunning beauty getting off a luxury car, and the gossip in her eyes could not be hidden. Qu Xiaoxiao guessed in her heart which rich man kept this mistress here. Although she was amazed by Guan Juer's beauty, she couldn't help but despise these women who became mistresses by virtue of their beauty. She took off her sunglasses and looked at Guan Juer openly with a very uncomfortable look.

Guan Juer had sharp senses, so how could she not notice Qu Xiaoxiao's contemptuous look? She ignored Qu Xiaoxiao and walked straight to the elevator with a cold face. At this time, Qiu Yingying, who was waiting for the elevator, also saw Guan Juer.

"Guan Guan, are you off work too?"

Guan Juer's face returned to normal when she saw Qiu Yingying. "Yeah, the house next door has been renovated, so I just wanted to go home and rest early."

While they were talking, Qu Xiaoxiao and the others followed closely behind. Qu's father kept complaining about the environment of the community, which made Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying very unhappy. If they didn't like this place, why did they come to live here?

After finally reaching the 22nd floor, Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying hurried out, only to find that the family in the elevator had also followed them out and went straight to 2203. How could the two of them not realize that this rich second-generation family was their new neighbor.

Guan Juer made up her mind not to contact Qu Xiaoxiao, and Qu Xiaoxiao obviously had the same idea. She knocked on the door of 2202 with a box of chocolates. Based on Qiu Yingying's words, she evaluated the tenants of 2202 and found out that Guan Juer lived in 2204. However, because of prejudice, she did not knock on Guan Juer's door.

That night, Guan Juer washed up early and thought she could have a good sleep, but she was awakened by a burst of rumbling music. Guan Juer kept turning over and preparing to fall asleep again, but she failed. She had to get up and check the time. It was already past ten o'clock. She simply ate something and went to sleep later. Since she used the space to make wine last time, she began to use the fruits and spring water in the space to make cakes. Although she couldn't cook, Guan Juer liked cakes very much. So she followed the online tutorial and made them slowly by herself. She did a good job. In addition, because the ingredients came from the space, the taste was much better than those sold outside.

She took out a plate from the space, thinking that she couldn't finish it, so she divided some and prepared to give it to Sister Fan and Yingying later. But as soon as she ate a piece, she heard a quarrel outside.

Guan Juer opened the door and saw that the rich second generation was standing at the door of 2202 with an arrogant look on his face. He yelled at Qiu Yingying, "Once, twice, three times, didn't I tell the property management? Ten minutes, we'll be done in ten more minutes. What are you doing? Is it fun to make such an exaggerated scene? It's not enough to call the property management, you also have to call the police."

Qiu Yingying looked at the crowd outside the door and was a little nervous, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "What do you mean by calling the police? We didn't call the police. What are you doing? Just talk, why are you so fierce? You have been arguing all night, and we just told the property management, why are you so fierce?"

Guan Juer couldn't stand it any longer. "This is a residential building, not a place for you to sing. Everyone has to get up early to go to work tomorrow. What's wrong with calling the police?"

Everyone immediately looked at Guan Juer. Yao Bin was wondering who was so arrogant to say such words when Qu Xiaoxiao was the most angry. He thought that he would suffer the consequences soon. But then he saw Guan Juer in home clothes, with long black hair draped behind her. Although she was without makeup, her face was exceptionally clean and beautiful. He was stunned.

Qu Xiaoxiao was very angry. She came back to China to fight for the family property with her half-brother Qu Lianjie. She asked her good friend Yao Bin to set up a plan for her tonight, hoping that these rich second-generation friends would help her find out some news or evidence about Qu Lianjie. The atmosphere was just right, but it was interrupted one after another. Now after hearing what Guan Juer said, she was in awe.

"Okay, so it was you who called the police. You're a mistress kept by an old man. I haven't bothered you yet, but you dared to provoke me first. Do you believe that I will peel off a layer of your skin and make you unable to stay in Shanghai, and go back to your hometown in disgrace?"

Before Guan Juer realized when she had become someone else's mistress, she heard a roar.

"Qu Xiaoxiao, you're going too far. You're slandering someone without even knowing them."
