The Landlady and The Amnesiac – Chapter 3

Life just passed by uneventfully.

Luo Bei started working as a clerk at a new company, but due to her good looks, the boss made her an assistant instead. Don’t get the wrong idea, the boss of this company is not a man, but a middle-aged woman. She was very capable and had split a large sum of money from her divorce with her husband a few years ago to start her own business. With her strong work ability, the company flourished in no time.

From being a clerk to an assistant, her salary only increased by three hundred yuan, but Luo Bei was already quite satisfied.

When she went out with her female boss for social engagements, she encountered many men who were interested in her due to her good looks. However, not only was Luo Bei uninterested, but her female boss also constantly reminded her not to go down the wrong path.

Luo Bei had no ambition to marry into a wealthy family, and she certainly wouldn’t be a mistress to these old men who could be her father.

She just wanted to work hard. After paying off her Grandpa’s and father’s debts, she would save enough money to buy a house in the city. Thinking of paying off her debts soon and having a rental property, Luo Bei didn’t have any other thoughts.

She didn’t even have the intention to look for a partner, let alone try to marry a rich man by using all her wits.

During this time, Luo Bei’s relationship with Zhao Pianpian had become very good. Actually, Luo Bei didn’t suck up to her, but it was undeniable that their interactions increased. Their personalities also matched well, so their relationship naturally became better. Zhao Pianpian had also told her many times not to have intimate relationships with these wealthy people because the world of the rich is different from theirs, and she shouldn’t fall into it.

Zhao Pianpian deserved to have been a secretary of a large compay’s CEO before. She had given her a lot of valuable experience in her work, and now the female boss is becoming more and more satisfied with her.

The only downside is that the female boss really wants to introduce her unmarried nephew to her.

These days, Zhao Pianpian likes to eat cakes and sweets very much. Because of her improved relationship with Luo Bei, she didn’t hesitate to ask her to go to the cake shop she used to frequent.

Luo Bei accompanies the female boss to social events mainly located in the city center. Whenever she goes to these events, she brings a cake for Zhao Pianpian.

Today was no exception. The female boss didn’t hire a driver, as the company wasn’t very large. Luo Bei had passed her driver’s license during her university days, but hadn’t had much driving experience since. However, the female boss always had a few drinks during social events, so Luo Bei ended up taking on the role of driver.

Although she had scraped the Toyota car a few times, the female boss was very generous and gave Luo Bei a raise as a reward for her usual driving services.

The female boss was lying in the back seat, and Luo Bei got out to buy a cake for Zhao Pianpian at the cake shop.

To Luo Bei’s surprise, she bumped into Lei Yuhao at the shop.

After all, Lei Yuhao is not a celebrity, so ordinary people really can’t recognize him, but Luo Bei has been watching his love and hate relationship with Zhao Pianpian in her dreams for so long that she is too familiar with his appearance.

Luo Bei didn’t dare to reveal anything. No matter what the novel’s plot was like, and no matter how wealthy Lei Yuhao was, she was now Zhao Pianpian’s friend. Since Zhao Pianpian currently had no plans to be found by Lei Yuhao, she couldn’t take the initiative to do anything.

There were also sofa booths in the cake shop, and Lei Yuhao sat alone on one side with a blueberry mousse cake on the table.

It’s Zhao Pianpian’s favorite flavor.

In order not to arouse suspicions, Luo Bei bought a blueberry mousse cake and a tiramisu.

As she left the cake shop, she looked towards the direction where Lei Yuhao was, suddenly realizing that her actions were a bit excessive. Lei Yuhao was immersed in his own world, and wouldn’t notice a passerby like her.

Luo Bei finally understood why Zhao Pianpian would live in the urban village.

No one could have imagined that although Zhao Pianpian wanted to leave, she still stayed in the city. They could not have expected that Zhao Pianpian, who had received five million, would live in an urban village with a monthly rent of just over a thousand. This way, it would be much more convenient for Zhao Pianpian to move around.

In the world of novels, isn’t it easy for the male protagonist to find the female protagonist?

However, even if there are bugs, they are bugs that serve the plot. If the plot doesn’t allow the male protagonist to find the female protagonist, even if he has extraordinary abilities, he won’t be able to find her.

Originally, Zhao Pianpian was enjoying her blueberry mousse cake and looked very happy. But soon she frowned.

“What’s wrong?” Luo Bei asked.

Zhao Pianpian’s due date is next month, but babies are not always born on time. Luo Bei became nervous when he saw her expression change.

“It’s nothing,” Zhao Pianpian smiled at her, “just false contractions.”

Luo Bei knew that Zhao Pianpian would give birth to a chubby son, the future heir of the Lei family, who is very clever and often competes with his father to win his mother’s attention in the novel’s extra chapters.

From an outsider’s perspective, Zhao Pianpian is a classic Mary Sue character. This kind of plot about a domineering CEO and a mommy who runs with the ball, how many people can relate to that? Not many.

The CEO of a large corporation loves her deeply and won’t marry anyone else but her. Her son is also so intelligent and adorable that she doesn’t even need to worry about him, and even the supporting female characters who are supposed to be cannon fodder are automatically slapped in the face.

If Zhao Pianpian had gone abroad with her child at that time, she might have met a loving male supporting character. However…

“Pianpian, why did you come to the village?” Luo Bei asked curiously.

Zhao Pianpian is very sincere with people. Although she didn’t reveal everything, she basically explained her background except for not telling Luo Bei that the child’s father is Lei Yuhao.

Luo Bei also sincerely told Zhao Pianpian that she wouldn’t tell anyone else.

Loving male supporting characters are usually wealthy and good-looking, so how could such a person appear in the village? Besides Grandma Luo who takes care of her and Luo Bei who chats with her, Zhao Pianpian had no one else.

Zhao Pianpian gently stroked her bulging belly and whispered, “There will always be a lot of places to spend money in the future. It doesn’t matter if we live in a poorer place. Besides, I think this place is great. Both you and Grandma Luo are the best people I’ve met in this world.”

“It would have been better if you had gone abroad at that time,” Luo Bei said.

During this period, when she had nothing to do, she read several novels about running with the ball. The female leads in these novels mostly went abroad.

Zhao Pianpian looked at Luo Bei in surprise and asked, “I don’t have a green card, nor am I a local there. At most, I can only have a tourist visa, and my stay is limited. Why should I go abroad if I’m not familiar with the place? “

Luo Bei : “…………”

It seemed that way.

“Beibei,” Zhao Pianpian suddenly called out to her, smiling as she looked at her, “After my baby is born, why don’t you be his godmother?”

Luo Bei blinked, unable to believe what she had heard.

Be the godmother of the baby?

What did that mean? Did it mean that the future heir of the Lei Group would be her godson?

Just being good friends with the CEO’s wife was already beyond her expectations for her life, and now she even has a future CEO as a godson?

“Beibei, do you want to?”

Luo Bei nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes!”

Although at first, her interactions with Zhao Pianpian may have been mixed with ulterior motives, Luo Bei was not someone who had much thought. Whoever was sincere to her, she would be sincere to them. Zhao Pianpian sincerely treated her as a good friend, so Luo Bei would also treat her, including her unborn baby, with sincerity.

After Luo Bei came out of 202 and returned home, her phone rang in just over half an hour. It was Zhao Pianpian calling.

She had doubts in her heart, wondering if something had happened?

Answering the phone, Luo Bei heard Zhao Pianpian panting and saying that her amniotic fluid had broken, and she was likely going to give birth.

This was the first time Luo Bei had experienced something like this. She quickly woke up her sleeping Grandma and went back to 202, feeling flustered and not knowing what to do.

At this point, Zhao Pianpian was only experiencing contractions. Unlike how it was in TV dramas, she was quite calm and said, “Beibei, go call a taxi and prepare the maternity bag I prepared earlier. I entrust myself and my baby to you.”

At this moment, Zhao Pianpian was still able to walk, but it was very difficult. Luo Bei held the maternity bag and supported her.

When they reached the first floor, they ran into the tenant from the basement.

It was a typhoon day, and it was pouring rain, so it was almost impossible to get a taxi. Luo Bei was at a loss but had to stay alert.

Luo Bei’s Grandma was quite familiar with the tenant, so she shouted, “Xiao Jiang, do you have time now?”

When the tenant called Xiao Jiang saw Zhao Pianpian’s condition, he knew what was going on.

“Are you going to the hospital?” Xiao Jiang’s voice was deep and magnetic, inexplicably pleasant. He glanced at Luo Bei and said, “Miss Luo, give me the umbrella, I’ll go outside and call a taxi.”

It was raining heavily at the moment, and naturally, the pregnant woman couldn’t get caught in the rain to hail a taxi.

Luo Bei quickly handed him the umbrella, and Xiao Jiang rushed out while holding the umbrella.

These days, there are still many kind-hearted people. Although Xiao Jiang couldn’t hail a taxi, a person who runs a private car ridesharing in the urban village heard that the tenant in Grandma Luo’s house was about to give birth and immediately came over with Xiao Jiang, let the people into the car and rushed to the hospital.

After the uncle who runs the private car ridesharing dropped them off at the hospital, he went out to do business again.

Xiao Jiang, Luo Bei, and Grandma Luo stayed with Zhao Pianpian.

Luo Bei heard Xiao Jiang’s stomach growling, and after waiting for a while, she got up and pretended to casually say, “I don’t know how long we have to wait. I’ll go buy some food. Pianpian also needs to eat something, or she won’t have the energy later. Xiao Jiang, what do you want to eat? You’ve also worked hard today.”

Xiaojian glanced at her and said, “Anything is fine.”

“How about I buy you egg fried rice?”

Xiao Jiang tried hard to suppress his drool and slowly nodded, “Okay, thank you.”
