In a secluded alley, the setting sun shone warmly on the uneven bluestone slabs.

Hua Manyi came over with some food and clothes, but never expected to hear such news.

"I don't know, probably dead." Someone said.

Hua Manyi asked, "When is that?"

The man recalled, "About two months ago, it seemed like I hadn't seen that beggar since Huo's family and that singer's marriage."

Hua Manyi had no choice but to come back with those things. When passing by a pharmacy, she went in and bought an ointment for bruises, and asked the man who picked up the medicine to run errands to send it to Li's house, and then returned to Fenghai to do her own business.

A response was received shortly after the telegram was sent, but everything was settled. Lu Nian and her sent the nanny to prison, and she also accepted the news of her parents' death.

Gong Yan called back Uncle Fu, and put away the telegram.

In the downstairs dance hall, Hua Manyi chatted with Fang Yu, Bai Jing, Xue Wenyan, and Xiaoxiao. I don't know what Xiaoxiao said, which made everyone smile.

"Man Yi, you're coming too, did Mama Gong tell you what to do on your birthday?" Bai Jing asked.

Hua Manyi: "She said she could hold a banquet at her winery."

"The winery, tsk tsk, we haven't been to Mama Gong's winery yet, and we will hold a banquet for you, Man Yi, look how much Mama Gong dotes on you." Bai Jing joked.

"But I refused."

"what?"

After saying this, the other three were puzzled, Hua Manyi calmly picked up a glass of red wine, shook it, "Master Taixing moved the crowd, I'm just a little dancer, it doesn't matter if I get by."

"What you said is that it's a big day, and a woman only speaks that once, don't you think so?" Fang Yu didn't quite agree with what she said.

"That's not it. We should do it well or we should do it well. It just so happens that our sisters are free that day."

"This is not good, it will waste the time of all sisters." Hua Manyi was flattered.

Fang Yu scolded, "What's wrong with that? Since you don't want to go to Gongma's winery, you can do it here in Fenghai, and I'll clear the venue for you."

Xue Wenyan had sharp eyes, "Mama Gong is here."

The other three shouted, "Mother Gong."

Gong Yan sat down next to Hua Manyi with a graceful posture, "What are you talking about? I'll listen too."

Fang Yu motioned her to look at Hua Manyi with his eyes, "We are talking about how to celebrate the birthday of this child Manyi, she said she doesn't want to spend it at your winery, we are thinking about booking a venue in Fenghai and calling other people who are free. People come to celebrate."

"That's a good idea," Gong Yan skillfully lit a cigarette, "Manyi celebrates her first birthday in Fenghai, and the whole Fenghai will have a day off on her birthday."

"Really?!" Xiaoxiao was the first to call Quin Chu, "Are we really going to have a day off?!"

Gong Yan smiled and nodded, and now the others were also happy, saying that they only had this day off because of Hua Manyi's favor.

"Thank you Mama Gong." Hua Manyi raised her wine glass and clinked glasses with her, with a smile on her lips and curled eyes, but only she knew that this was just an ordinary thank you.

Bai Jing and Xue Wenyan didn't sit for long before preparing for tonight's performance. Sister Fang Yu said she wanted to play with Qiu Pang. For a while, only Gong Ma and Hua Manyi were left on the table.

"Gong Ma," Hua Manyi yawned gracefully, "I'm leaving too, I'm going upstairs to sleep."

"Man Yi." Gong Yan called her to stop, his eyes beckoning her to stay, "accompany me for a glass of wine."

Hua Manyi looked at her suspiciously, sat back in her seat, poured wine for Gong Mama and her own glass, and said in a shy voice, "Come, Gong Mama, Man Yi toasts you."

Gong Yan also picked up the wine glass, but did not clink glasses with her. His lazy eyes fell on Hua Manyi's calm expression, and he asked, "What are you offering me?"

"Regard you for giving us a holiday." Hua Manyi smiled after finishing speaking, and took the initiative to clink glasses. She could hear the crisp sound, which was pleasant to the ear.

All in one drink.

"Okay, I'm done drinking with you, it's time for me to go upstairs." Hua Manyi put down her wine glass, and stood up calmly. The cheongsam on her body wrapped her small waist in a curve that showed its curves, making it uneven.

"What birthday gift do you want?" Gong Yan asked the moment she stood up.

Hua Manyi paused for a moment, then turned around, "Huh?"

"As long as it's not too much, I can give you anything, jewellery, jewelry, or a mansion..." Gong Yan looked up into Hua Manyi's shocked eyes, her red lips slightly curled up, "I can give you anything. "

"Then what about... my contract of prostitution?" Hua Manyi imitated her and smiled deeply.

Gong Yan was stunned.

Hua Manyi's smile deepened. It was impossible for this woman to give her a life contract, at least not now. Once she gave her a life contract, it would mean that she lost a cash cow.

Gong Yan didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Hua Manyi turned and went upstairs without a second thought.

……

Day by day, Hua Manyi came down from the stage after singing, and before she could go to a table, someone called her telegram outside, and she took it.

The telegram was sent by Lu Nian, but the content was that her brother Lu Yu was going to get married in three days and asked her if she wanted to go to the wedding banquet.

Lu Yu married...

And Mama Gong had disappeared two days ago, and everyone thought she was just busy with the business of the winery as before.

But this time is so coincidental...

After seeing the telegram, Hua Manyi lost her mind, even though she was as calm and calm as usual on the surface, she toasted and chatted among the guests.

Tonight's guests didn't know what happened, and they all went back after sitting for a long time. Hua Manyi rarely sat on a table by herself, couldn't see clearly, and poured herself wine until she drank the bottle that the guest bought. The wine is barely enough to stop.

Xiaoxiao came over, "Sister Manyi, the guests are all gone, why don't we go back to our room?"

"Yeah." Tonight's drink was almost half less than usual, and she couldn't get drunk at all. Hua Manyi put down her glass and went upstairs with Xiaoxiao.

"Sister Manyi, what gift do you want, Xiaoxiao will try her best to satisfy you."

Hua Manyi glanced at Xiaoxiao who tilted her head to meditate on the gift, and the woman's exactly the same promise flashed in her mind, but the next moment she waved away the shadow in her mind, and said funny, "Xiaoxiao, I don't need any gifts. Just arrive, even if you cook a bowl of porridge, I like it."

Xiaoxiao frowned and murmured, "How can anyone be like this..."

When she came to the door, Hua Manyi called her back, "Okay, I can take care of myself tonight, Xiaoxiao, you can have a good rest."

……

The neon lights on Zhengyuan Street flicker in various colors under the night sky.Uncle Fu sat in the driver's seat and drove, with his wife rubbing his brows in the back. As an attendant, today's business was not going well. He was cut off halfway, and the other party was low on the road. Those people repented and chose to cooperate with the other party.

"Master Zhang has gone too far this time." Uncle Fu was indignant.

"Enough is enough, I don't want to discuss this matter anymore."

Forbe shut up.

After arriving in Fenghai, before Uncle Uncle went around to the other side to open the door for his wife, the woman in the car got out of the car and went upstairs by herself, leaving him behind.

Fu Bo had no choice but to get in the car again and drive home to park it.

Gong Yan went upstairs with a sullen face. On the way, she met Xiaoxiao who greeted her. She nodded and continued walking. When she got to the room, she heard a knock on the door behind her before she sat down.

"Who?"

"It's me, Hua Manyi."

Gong Yan turned back and opened the door, Hua Manyi's slightly pale face came into view, and her cold face eased, "What's wrong?"

Hua Manyi stood at the door and looked deeply at the woman in front of her, as if in a dream. Just now a figure passed by the door of her room, she thought she was wrong, but then she heard the door opening from the next room, She accidentally knocked on the door to confirm.

"Didn't you go back to Nancheng?" Hua Manyi lowered her eyes, her voice was so low that she could hardly hear her, she knew that when she asked Quin Chunjue, she asked her questions.

"What am I going back to Nancheng for?" Gong Yan pushed the door open a little, gesturing for her to come in, but Hua Manyi didn't appreciate it, and stood there motionless.

"Lu Nian said... her brother will get married in three days."

"I know." Gong Yan leaned against the table and lit a cigarette, "What does his marriage have to do with me?"

Hua Manyi's expression changed slightly, she was still not sure, she dug her fingernails into her palm, "But Lu Yu is not with Gong Ma, you..."

Gong Yan put in a straightforward sentence, "I'm not suitable for him."

That is to say... Mama Gong didn't actually have a successful blind date with Lu Yu? !The woman who married Lu Yu was someone else... Hua Manyi realized this, and she didn't even realize that her nerves had been tensed all afternoon to relax.

"Anything else?" Gong Ma asked again.

Hua Manyi pursed her lips as if nothing had happened, pointed to her room, and shook her head, "No, then... I'll go back first."
