"Since you feel bad and insist on paying the rent, that's fine, but you have to listen to me about how to pay the rent, otherwise I will turn hostile to you."

After hearing Leng Xiaoxiao's answer, Yu Xi smiled broadly.

"As long as your opinions are reasonable, I will listen to you."

Leng Xiaoxiao said expressionlessly: "I have three plans here, please listen and see which one suits your taste better."

Yu Xi looked at Leng Xiaoxiao intently and said, "Go ahead! I'm all ears."

"Plan 1: I'll pay half of this month's rent and you half of the utility bills. Nicole has only been living here for a short time, so she won't have to pay this month's rent.

But if Nicole is ungrateful, there may be a conflict when collecting the rent in the second month.

Of course, it is also possible that Nicole has her own moral standards and is unwilling to take advantage of you, and then returns the rent to you."

Yu Xi thought about it, shook his head, and directly rejected Leng Xiaoxiao's first proposal.

This proposal is prone to conflict and contradiction, and has the potential to be exclusive, so it is not suitable.

Yu Xi was just thinking about paying all the rent for this month, but after hearing Leng Xiaoxiao's suggestion, she realized that she had not been thoughtful enough.

She replied to Leng Xiaoxiao: “Although Nicole doesn’t have much interaction with us, I have a hunch that she is not a person who is greedy for small gains, so this suggestion can be ignored.

Don’t you have two other methods? Tell me and see if there is one method that I think is reasonable. "

Leng Xiaoxiao was also unwilling for Yu Xi to choose the first proposal, because that proposal had a fatal flaw. If Nicole did not pay the rent, she would have to be inferior to her in everything in the future, which would make things more inconvenient.

And Leng Xiaoxiao didn't want Nicole to take advantage of this. No one's money comes from the wind. Yu Xi felt embarrassed to take advantage of her, so she tactfully offered to pay the rent.

But Nicole has nothing to do with her, they are just roommates. Why should Yu Xi suffer and let Nicole take advantage of it?

Of course, Leng Xiaoxiao would never put things so bluntly. After all, Nicole was a pretty good roommate and nothing unexpected happened.

Except when she asked Yu Xi about the villa on Yunhuai Road, they got along well with each other at other times.

Leng Xiaoxiao continued: “Secondly, you and Nicole will share the rent and this month’s utility bills.

This way, Nicole and I can stay longer and take advantage of you.

As for the third option, Nicole and I will share the rent of the apartment, and you will be responsible for the water and electricity bills for this month.

Judging from our daily water and electricity usage, these costs are not cheaper than rent.

One is that the weather is hot now, and as long as we stay in the room, the air conditioner is on at all times.

Secondly, water is used quickly in the summer, and you need to take showers several times a day. You and I have endured summers together before, and it is not uncommon for the water and electricity bills to be more than half of the rent."

Leng Xiaoxiao said this, glanced at Yu Xi, paused for a moment, and put forward his own opinion.

“I think the second proposal is the most appropriate. Not only do you not feel that you are taking advantage, but it also reduces the burden of rent and utility bills for us.

The third proposal is taking advantage of you too much, and it will be difficult for us to get along with you.

But I am not you after all, and I don’t know what choice you will make.”

Yu Xi thought about it for a moment and agreed that Xiaoxiao’s second suggestion was the most reasonable.

Not only did I not take advantage of them, but I also reduced each other's rent burden. This is a good thing for everyone.

Choosing this method won't make you appear too unfamiliar or polite.

"The second suggestion is indeed good. I choose the second one."

Leng Xiaoxiao heard Yu Xi choose the second option she suggested and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

While Yu Xi and Leng Xiaoxiao were discussing the rent, the video of Yu Xi's competition had already fallen into Liu Mengsheng's hands.

After Yu Xi and Lin Subai had a conflict in the hospital last time, Liu Mengsheng asked Hua Feng to keep an eye on their situation at all times and tell her in time if there was anything unusual.

Although she could not interfere in the relationship between her son and Yu Xi, as the future mother-in-law, she had to have some idea of ​​the situation.

The detectives arranged by Huafeng are very capable. Liu Mengsheng got the news on the day Yu Xi moved out of the villa.

These days, Detective Zhang Luo has been keeping a close eye on Yu Xi's situation and reporting all her news to Huafeng.

Hua Feng would select the important things to tell Liu Mengsheng, but Yu Xi went out these days and had no idea that she was being followed.

When Yu Xi and Lin Subai lived together before, the detective Zhang Luo from Huafeng faction did not dare to follow them so blatantly.

Because Lin Subai is very alert and he has also studied anti-tracking, a major that is often used abroad.

Not only that, Lin Subai is also accompanied by professional security personnel, they just don't live in the villa, but every time Lin Subai goes out, they will appear on his left and right.

Zhang Luo could only watch from a distance, observing the approximate location of Yu Xi and Lin Subbai, and did not dare to get close at all.

However, after Yu Xi left the villa on Yunhuai Road and moved into her friend's apartment, Yu Xi's every move was under Zhang Luo's control.

Because Lin Subai did not provide Yu Xi with security personnel, this also facilitated Zhang Luo's investigation.

At the same time, while Zhang Luo was following Yu Xi, he also investigated the situation of the other two people in the apartment, Leng Xiaoxiao and Nicole.

Liu Mengsheng had just finished playing golf with his friends and came to the lounge sweating profusely.

She saw the butler Hua Feng waiting in her private lounge with a folder.

When Hua Feng saw Liu Mengsheng coming in, he put the folder under his arm and handed over the towel he had prepared.

Liu Mengsheng took the towel, wiped the sweat off his face, and asked casually:

"Why are you here at this time? Did something happen?"

Huafeng gentleman replied: "Yes, ma'am, I got a piece of news today and I need to tell you."

"Oh! What news? Is it about the young master's condition?"

Seeing Hua Feng's serious and puzzled expression, Liu Mengsheng picked up a bottle of purified water from the bar, walked to a chair beside and sat down, crossing her legs and asked casually.

However, Liu Mengsheng had just exercised and didn't have much energy to pay attention to him. But looking at his serious expression, although he looked lazy and not very interested, he still asked casually.

But she still had to have dinner with friends later! She didn't want to be delayed by some small things, and hoped that Huafeng would finish the matter quickly.

She has finally retired, and life should be enjoyed. Liu Mengsheng doesn't want to be bothered by trivial matters.

As long as it is not about Lin Subai, Liu Mengsheng is not very interested.

Hua Feng shook his head slightly and denied: "It's not about the young master, it's about the young lady."

"Yu Xi, what happened to her again? Yesterday I heard that she had a conflict with Su Bai and moved out. What happened? Is there something strange happening again?"

Liu Mengsheng drank a sip of water gracefully, turned her delicate face towards Hua Feng, raised her eyebrows and asked casually.

Hua Feng handed the phone in the folder to Liu Mengsheng and reported: "Young Madam went to participate in the preliminary round of the dubbing competition today. This is the video file of her participation in the competition."

"She went to the crowded preliminary round venue with her arm in a sling, not paying any attention to the fact that she was injured. Did Su Bai know about this?"

Liu Mengsheng opened the video, saw Yu Xi competing, and asked casually.

Hua Feng bowed slightly and replied: "Young Master was not aware of the fact that Madam appeared alone at the preliminary round of the competition."

Liu Mengsheng sneered: "My son is smart and capable, but I'm afraid he still has a lot to learn when it comes to dealing with women.

His wife went to participate in the dubbing competition despite being injured, but the husband was completely unaware of it.

I don’t know what my son’s icy face would look like when he heard the news.”

Hua Feng asked: "Does the young mistress need to tell the young master about this situation?"

Liu Mengsheng shook his head and refused, saying: "Why do you care so much about this matter? Let Su Bai and Yu Xi solve their own problems. There is no need for us outsiders to interfere.

Besides, there must be a reason why Yu Xi chose to hide it from him.

As a result, you suddenly revealed the truth to Su Bai. With Su Bai's stubborn and cold character, he would definitely interfere with Yu Xi's game situation and eliminate Yu Xi.

Since Yu Xi is going to participate in the dubbing competition despite her injured arm, this dubbing competition must be very important to her, so we won’t be the bad guys.”

"Yes, ma'am."

Liu Mengsheng handed the phone to Hua Feng and asked, "Who else in the old house knows about this?"

Hua Feng said: "Apart from the detective Zhang Luo who conducted the investigation, only my wife and I know about it."

"That's good." Liu Mengsheng nodded with satisfaction after hearing the housekeeper's answer. Although she investigated and tracked Yu Xi's various situations, she didn't want her daughter-in-law's privacy to be known to the whole world.

"What was the result of the dubbing competition that Yuxi participated in?"

Liu Mengsheng just took out his phone and only glanced at the video briefly. He was not clear about the final result of Yu Xi's competition.

Hua Feng said: "Young Madam has passed the first round of the preliminary competition. I heard that she will rehearse her role tomorrow. There will be another round of competition the day after tomorrow. The last one will be eliminated, and the result will be determined by the sum of the audience's voice value and the voice value of the sound tester."

Liu Mengsheng handed the towel in his hand to Huafeng, dialed the number of the service desk, and asked the other party to bring afternoon tea.

He continued to ask Hua Feng: "How valuable is this dubbing competition? Is the competition fierce? What is its nature?"

Huafeng took the towel and put it in a special place for towels. He also took out a bathrobe and handed it to Liu Mengsheng to put on.

He replied: "It is a national competition. There is no champion setting like in previous competition programs. There are only five men and women selected in the final. Judging from the situation of the preliminary selection, it is quite fierce.

It is said that the selected voice actors will have the opportunity to voice various important characters in "The Empress's Road", and even the male and female protagonists are not ruled out.

I heard that the scale of this event is quite large, and each of the sound testers is a big name in the dubbing industry, with more than ten years of dubbing experience, and each of them has dubbed no less than 300 films.”

Liu Mengsheng suddenly realized and said: "No wonder Yu Xi wanted to participate in this dubbing competition without telling Lin Subai. In a competition of this nature, even if you can't be selected as the male or female main role in the end, you can still learn a lot.

It’s rare to see a dubbing competition program! Have the organizers ever thought about broadcasting this competition as a program?”

Hua Feng said: "I haven't heard the news yet."

Liu Mengsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Since Yu Xi is so optimistic about this competition, let's also take part.

When you go back, ask my secretary to contact the organizer of this program. I want to invest in this dubbing competition program.

This way, there is no need to worry about the existence of shady dealings, and Yu Xi can also be protected.

If her dubbing ability is indeed strong, it is entirely possible for her to make it to the finals and get the dubbing of several important roles.

The semi-finals and finals will be broadcast live, so remember to remind Su Bai at that time."

Huafeng felt that the lady had some bad taste and wanted to make trouble for the young master.

Huafeng nodded and made a note of it in the memo.

At this time, the service desk has already delivered afternoon tea to the lounge.

Huafeng put the folder in his hand aside and helped the waiter set up the table.

After the waiter prepared the afternoon tea, Huafeng opened a bottle of 82 red wine.

Liu Mengsheng asked Huafeng to sit down and enjoy the meal as well.

Hua Feng shook his head and refused. He said to Liu Mengsheng with a serious face: "Madam, I am not here just to report on the young lady's recent situation. There is one more thing I must tell you. I think after hearing this news, you will not be able to leisurely accompany your friends to attend dinner parties."

Liu Mengsheng put down the red wine glass he had brought over, looked at Hua Feng seriously, and said, "What is it? Don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us directly."

Uncle Huafeng gave Liu Mengsheng the information he had investigated in a dark blue folder.

"Madam, this is the news I accidentally discovered when I was arranging people to investigate the young lady's social situation."

On the cover of the document that Huafeng handed over was a picture of a gentle and beautiful girl. If Yu Xi were here at this moment, she would definitely be able to recognize the identity of the girl at a glance.

Liu Mengsheng was caught off guard when he saw the picture of the gentle and beautiful woman in a floral dress on the document. His eyes darkened. He didn't expect that even after several years, when he saw this picture, the memory of her was still so clear.

"Who is she?" Liu Mengsheng knew that the woman on the cover was not Qiao Mei. She had already turned into dust long ago. How could she appear again?

Hua Feng looked at Liu Mengsheng's expression and sighed slightly in his heart. Everyone was a victim in what happened back then. When he saw this photo, he was also very surprised. He thought that Qiao Mei was still alive. It was really that the person in the photo looked too similar to Qiao Mei.

After much hesitation, Huafeng decided to tell his wife the identity of this person.

He replied calmly: "This person is called Nicole. She just returned to China and currently lives in an apartment near Lotus Lake.

The roommate was the young lady’s friend. The young lady also lived in that apartment before she moved to the villa on Yunhuai Road.

Last Thursday, Nicole joined the venture capital department of the Lin Group. She has been out frequently these days, investigating Qiao Mei's case. She suspects that Qiao Mei did not die of suicide, but was murdered. "

When Hua Feng said this, Liu Mengsheng's hand holding the red wine glass shook accidentally, and a look of panic flashed across her face.
