Chapter 234 A Good Fortune
Su Yan smiled. “Sir, it’s normal that you don’t know me because I don’t live here. Today, I came to my friend’s house for a free meal. Their house is in Building B, Unit 3, Unit 202.”
The security guard suddenly understood. “I see. I haven’t seen you before, but that young couple who are your friends are a perfect match. They are beautiful, especially that girl. She looks just like that female celebrity on TV. In the past, I didn’t believe it. My daughter always said that good-looking people hang out with good-looking people. Today, I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Alright, if you have nothing else, go in quickly. It’s very cold outside.”
Su Yan was naturally in a good mood after being praised for her beauty. “Sir, I wish you a happy new year.”
After saying that, she tightened her clothes and tried to figure out a direction to go in. Suddenly, the security guard walked out and handed her a red packet.
Su Yan was slightly stunned and looked at the security guard with a puzzled expression. “You are…”
The security guard said honestly, “Little girl, according to the customs of our hometown, if a junior wishes us a happy new year, we will give a red packet to the junior. Just now, you wished me a happy new year, so I will give you a red packet. This is the rule. Take it.”
Looking at the festive red packet, Su Yan’s eyes were filled with reminiscence. Ever since her parents died in a car accident, she hadn’t received a red packet for more than ten years. She didn’t expect that the security guard actually gave her a red packet when she only said it out of politeness. Naturally, she was surprised.
The security guard’s honest and sincere smile touched Su Yan. She took the red packet and took out a silver card from her bag. This was the Diamond VIP card from Huaxin Grand Hotel. It was also the hotel’s VIP membership card.
She stuffed the membership card into the security guard’s hand. Su Yan smiled and said, “Thank you. I haven’t received a red packet for a long time. I’ll accept this red packet as a bonus for the New Year. This is the Huaxin Grand Hotel’s membership card. The password is six ones. In the future, when your friends come, you can invite them to stay there. As long as you show this card, the people of the Huaxin Grand Hotel will definitely welcome you warmly.”
The security guard took the silver membership card and looked at it over and over again. He saw that the card was exquisitely made, and when he heard that it was a membership card from Huaxin Grand Hotel, the security guard immediately returned the membership card to Su Yan’s hand. “No, no, no, this is too expensive. I’m just a security guard, and I don’t have many friends. You should keep this for your own use. At your age, you’re working outside and making a lot of friends, so it’s better for you to keep it for yourself.”
Seeing that he refused to accept it, Su Yan smiled, then she stuffed the membership card to him. “Sir, we don’t have to go back and forth. I still have many of these membership cards, and I can’t use them all myself. You can keep it. Don’t mind.”
After saying that, Su Yan was afraid that the man wouldn’t accept it, so she quickly walked deeper into the neighborhood. The security guard wanted to chase after her and return the membership card to her, but since he couldn’t leave his post without permission, he could only give up.
Building B was to the north, which was also the innermost part of the neighborhood. Because the planning area of the neighborhood was very large, she needed to walk a distance to reach it. Su Yan felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have driven into the neighborhood.
The wind was very strong, and the temperature had dropped by a lot. Su Yan straightened the collar of her down jacket and carried a white handbag inside. At the corner of Building B, a plump woman walked up to her. Su Yan stopped and looked at the woman, who looked familiar.
The woman also stopped and looked at Su Yan up and down. Then, she probed, “You, you are Su Yan?”
Hearing the woman’s voice, Su Yan finally understood. No wonder she looked so familiar. It turned out that the woman was a neighbor of her family. She had a good relationship with her mother and they often went out to buy vegetables together. It was just that they hadn’t seen each other for so many years, so she couldn’t remember at first.
Su Yan smiled and said, “You are Mrs. Zhou, right? Long time no see. Happy holidays.”
The old lady who was called Mrs. Zhou said excitedly, “It really is Su Yan. Long time no see. We haven’t seen each other for more than ten years. Look at you now. You’re like a beauty in a painting. You’ve been beautiful since you were young. Now that you’ve grown up, you’re even more beautiful. You’re…”
Su Yan replied, “Oh, my friend lives here. She invited me over for dinner today.”
Mrs. Zhou suddenly understood. “If I remember correctly, you’re already twenty-six this year, right? Are you married? How many children do you have?”
Su Yan didn’t have any expression on her face when she heard her question, but she felt annoyed. All the neighbors in the world were the same. They all liked to spread rumors behind people’s backs. Although Mrs. Zhou wasn’t a bad person, she was still a typical chatterbox.
