After leaving the police station, he drove Fatty's car towards Taoyuan Village.
On the way, Chen Xiao found her phone. After unlocking it, she found that there were 13 missed calls. She opened it and saw that nine of them were from Zhou Yating and four were from Sun Weiwei. Thinking of what Sun Weiwei had told her, Chen Xiao felt that she was making a big deal out of it.
After thinking about it, he decided to call Zhou Yating back. He didn't have time today, so he might not be able to give her the USB drive. He could also tell her about what happened last night, so that she wouldn't be angry again.
"Hello," Zhou Yating's voice came from the other end of the phone. There was a trace of joy in her voice.
"I left my phone in my friend's car last night.”Chen Xiao said.
Hearing Chen Xiao's explanation, Zhou Yating was delighted. As expected, He Manjun had nothing to do with Chen Xiao. Glancing at He Manjun who was lying on the bed, Zhou Yating beamed with joy. Her mood suddenly changed.
"Oh, it's nothing. Last night, I just... I just wanted to ask you how the software was going.”
Zhou Yating stuttered. Even she felt that her words were not trustworthy. She just wanted to call him, but she had to find such an excuse. Zhou Yating suddenly felt her face heat up, and her ears turned red.
"Oh, the software. It's already done. It's in your USB drive. However, I have something to do outside now, so I might only be able to give it to you tomorrow morning.”Chen Xiao said.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It just so happens that I have something to ask you. Why don't we have lunch together?”Zhou Yating said with a smile.
"Sparring, it's just sparring. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow as an apology.”
"Okay, then I'll say it like this first. You go ahead and do your work.”
"Bye-bye."
"Bye-bye."
This time, Chen Xiao did not park the car by the roadside. Instead, she drove the car directly to the door of Li Xiaojuan's house. Li Laifu was squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette. His face was full of worry. When he saw Chen Xiao coming, he hurriedly took a deep puff and threw the last cigarette butt on the ground.
"Little Chen, you're here." Li Laifu said enthusiastically.
"Uncle Li, I've brought the money.”Chen Xiao handed the money to Li Laifu. Li Laifu took the money and said politely,""No rush, no rush."
Suddenly, Chen Xiao looked at Li Laifu carefully, causing Li Laifu to look at Chen Xiao in confusion. He touched his face and smiled, thinking that there was something dirty on his face." I probably didn't wash it clean this morning."”
"No." Chen Xiao shook her head and said with a frown,""Uncle Li, you don't look too good recently. Your liver has been damaged, and your stomach must be uncomfortable. Do you have any pseudo-ginseng, fumiao, and cuttlebone at home? If you do, boil some for a week.”
"Hey." Li Laifu nodded and looked at Chen Xiao in surprise. "I didn't expect you to be a doctor, Xiao Chen.”
"No, I just like to read some random books. Uncle Li, I can see some of your illness from your face.”Chen Xiao smiled. She did not know why, but she could recognize some simple illnesses at a glance. The corresponding treatment methods could also appear in her mind.
After chatting for a while, Chen Xiao asked Li Laifu about that piece of land. When she found out that it was a wasteland, Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. This way, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Li Laifu was also very enthusiastic about Chen Xiao's plan to build a fish pond. He constantly helped Chen Xiao come up with ideas, and Chen Xiao also adopted them according to his suggestions. After all, he did not know much about these things. With an old expert here, he definitely had to learn more.
Before arriving at the wasteland, Chen Xiao made a simple plan. The two of them discussed for a while before they finally finalized the plan. Chen Xiao handed the name card of the construction team to Li Laifu and asked him to take care of her when the time came.
Li Laifu also readily agreed. If he could get benefits for the villagers, this bit of hard work was nothing.
In the blink of an eye, the sky began to darken. Chen Xiao had also settled the basic things and left the rest to the construction team.
Under Li Laifu's repeated invitation, Chen Xiao had no choice but to agree to stay at his house for dinner. There was no one else for dinner, only him and Li Laifu. Chen Xiao thought that Li Xiaojuan's mother had passed away, so she did not ask any more questions.
"Xiao Chen, if you need my help in the future, just let me know. You're Xiaojuan's friend, so I won't treat you as an outsider.”After drinking two glasses of wine, Li Laifu became enthusiastic.
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded. The villagers of Taoyuan Village were more simple and honest, unlike some villagers who had long been blinded by profits. Glancing at Li Laifu, Chen Xiao said,""If I settle down here in the future, we might even be neighbors. However, Uncle Li, you have to quit drinking for a period of time in the future. Just smoke once every three or five days. It's not too late to smoke when your body recovers.”
"Hey, alright." Li Laifu nodded with a smile and sighed."Sigh, if only I could meet someone as talented as you earlier. If you're sick, you should treat it early. Just based on your words, Uncle Li won't drink today.”
After saying that, Li Laifu put the wine bowl aside. Chen Xiao couldn't drink because she was driving, so the two of them began to eat and chat.
Not long after, a car horn sounded outside the door. When Li Laifu heard it, he smiled and said to Chen Xiao,"My daughter and son-in-law are back."
"Your son-in-law?" Chen Xiao looked at Li Laifu in surprise.
"Yeah," Li Laifu nodded, a hint of worry flashing across his eyes. "We're about to get married."
Hearing Li Laifu's words, Chen Xiao was stunned. Didn't Li Xiaojuan just break up with Fatty Wang?! How did she find a partner so quickly and was about to get married? Could it be that she had cheated on Fatty in the past?
Chen Xiao's expression became strange. As she spoke, Li Xiaojuan walked in from outside. When she saw Chen Xiao, the smile on her face froze. Behind him, a young man walked in. He had a gold chain around his neck. He was not as good-looking as Fatty. When he was with Li Xiaojuan, he looked like a real-life version of Beauty and the Beast.
"Chen…Chen Xiao, you're here too.”Li Xiaojuan greeted Chen Xiao.
"Yes, I came to give Uncle Li money and have a meal with him.”Chen Xiao nodded.
Afraid that the atmosphere would be awkward, Chen Xiao turned her gaze to the man behind Li Xiaojuan and asked,""Who is this? Hello, I'm Li Xiaojuan's friend, Chen Xiao.”
"Your friend?" The man ignored Chen Xiao and turned to Li Xiaojuan.
Li Xiaojuan smiled and hurriedly introduced him to Chen Xiao,""His name is Hu Dong."
The man called Hu Dong was obviously a nouveau riche. Seeing Chen Xiao's attire, he was not willing to pay attention to him at all. Chen Xiao was also too lazy to pay attention to him.
"Then you guys chat. I'll go back and get something first.”
After saying that, Li Xiaojuan hurriedly walked into the room with a nervous expression. Hu Dong also sized up Chen Xiao.
Seeing this, Chen Xiao did not want to stay any longer. She said to Li Laifu,""Uncle Li, I'll go back first today. Thank you for your hospitality.”
"Xiao Chen, it's not too late to leave after eating.”Li Laifu said politely.
"I'm full. I still have something to do when I go back tonight. Goodbye, Uncle Li.”
After saying goodbye to Li Laifu, Chen Xiao left Li Xiaojuan's house and stopped thinking about Li Xiaojuan's matter. Anyway, what was in the past was in the past. He could not stop it from happening.
It was only six o'clock when they left, and it was already eight o'clock when the car arrived in Yunhai City. Just as he was thinking of continuing to train Huanhuan at night and improving his proficiency in stealing people, his phone rang again.
Seeing that the caller ID was Tang Yuyan, whom she had not seen for a few days, Chen Xiao smiled. She really did not know what this little girl was busy with. The moment he pressed the answer button, he seemed to remember that today seemed to be the day of Tang Yuyan's class reunion.
"Hello, is this Yuyan's brother-in-law, Chen Xiao?”Hearing the unfamiliar voice on the phone, Chen Xiao had a bad feeling.
"Yuyan is a little drunk. She insisted that you pick her up. Can you come quickly?”
"Where is it?"
" In Myth K…Ah…"
Before the girl could finish her sentence, she suddenly screamed and hung up the phone. The phone beeped.
Chen Xiao secretly knew that things were not good. She hurriedly sped up and drove toward the Sunshine Hotel.
