Chapter 94
When he got home, Mother Lu asked Ye Chuxiao about his current physical condition when she saw him. He didn't tell her about the almost miscarriage before, but just agreed.
At this time, the old man also came out of the house at the east end, so he dismissed his mother and walked over: "Dad, I'm back to do something."
As soon as the two people's eyes met, the old man nodded: "Go over there and talk."
Going to sit under the tree over there, surrounded by colorful flowers and a bustling scene, Lu Zhengnan reached out and brushed off the peony leaves, and said softly: "He has a resort project."
The old man sighed deeply: "It's not that I don't really know about those things before, I just thought... After all, it's all my family. Xinyuan has invested in many projects, but every time they fail, this time... "
"Don't worry too much, I can hold on for a while." Lu Zhengnan smiled, and patted the petals off his shoulders.
But the old man waved his hands anxiously: "Hey, no, it's not easy for your side to develop to this day. It's fine if they make nothing of your way here, and you can't be dragged down."
"What are you two talking about?" Lu Zhengnan stretched his waist: "Besides, I'm no better than you, I'm younger, and I'll come back after all my money is gone."
He said these words with boldness, but the old man still felt sore in his heart: "I got you in trouble, Zhengnan. I originally let him marry Xiaoman and work in the company, so I just wanted to make up for it. But...that crime cannot be easily compensated, I should be punished, but don't..."
"Dad." Lu Zhengnan stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulder: "It's a matter of course for the son to pay back the father's debt. It's hypocritical for me to say so much. Let's not worry about it. Just treat me as an unfilial son and show you some respect."
The old man was speechless again, just looking at this son who had been against him since he was a child, but became his backbone at the last moment, the corners of his eyes were moist...
****************************
Lu Zhengnan was on an evening flight, and before leaving, Lu's mother got him a lot of supplements and asked him to take them, ordering this and that.
"That's enough, Mom," Lu Zhengnan said helplessly, "Your daughter-in-law and grandchildren are all fine. Ours is not a remote village, but a big city. We can't buy anything we want, and we have to work hard to transport it back from Beijing."
"Hey, I found this by walking around the streets and alleys. You can have that skill and experience." Mother Lu didn't care, she just stuffed it into his suitcase, and he had to take it. When he walked out the door, he heard Lu's mother also said happily, "I'll go over after a while and see for myself."
Lu Zhengnan was speechless, and quickly disappeared.
But he didn't expect that what she said "in a while" would come so quickly.
On the weekend, Lu's mother actually arrived in the ancient city. She didn't call Lu Zhengnan until she got off the plane, saying that she would surprise them.
What a surprise.Lu Zhengnan put down the phone and sighed, Ye Chuxiao came over and asked him what was wrong.
Ye Chuxiao felt a little apprehensive when she learned that Lu's mother was coming, but she still urged him to pick it up.
This is the first time for Mother Lu to enter Yunshui Pavilion. After Lu Zhengnan regretted his marriage that day, she also came to look for her once, but the security guard didn't let her in. Thinking about the previous things, she was still angry, but when she thought about Ye Chu The child in Xiao's belly lost her anger again and only cared about being happy.
Ye Chuxiao and Mi Lier met her at the door, and when she saw her, Mi Lier called out "Grandma", but Lu's mother didn't care about her at all, she just answered without looking at her, and pulled Ye Chuxiao Ask questions.
Seeing Mother Lu's perfunctory treatment of Mi Li'er, Ye Chuxiao felt a little uncomfortable, but the old man came all the way to visit him, so it wasn't too strange, so he warmly invited her to sit in.
"Hey, you don't need to say hello. This is my son's house, which is also my own home." Mother Lu waved her hand, as if she were the master, and inspected the upper and lower floors. She is quite picky about the decoration and thinks the color It's not good either, and the decoration is not right either.
Ye Chuxiao didn't take it to heart, but Lu Zhengnan was a little displeased: "Mom, this house was decorated by Chu Xiao, so there's nothing wrong with it, everything looks good to me."
Being robbed by him, Lu's mother was upset, but it was not easy to show it all on her face, she only laughed twice, and didn't say much after that for a long time.
Behind his back, Ye Chuxiao complained to him: "You too, just say what Mom wants to say, why make her angry."
Lu Zhengnan shrugged, noncommittal.
When eating, Lu Zhengnan habitually filled Ye Chuxiao with a bowl of soup first. Lu's mother seemed to be sitting still, but she stared at his hand from the corner of her eye until she saw the bowl of soup being placed on Ye Chuxiao. in front of.
Ye Chuxiao discovered this detail, and hurriedly served the soup to Mother Lu: "Mom, you drink first."
Only then did Mother Lu turn pale.
After eating, while sitting and watching TV, Lu Zhengnan handed the peeled apple to Ye Chuxiao again, and Lu's mother was upset again.
Ye Chuxiao secretly sighed, there is a saying that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are eternal rivals in love.
Back in the room at night, Ye Chuxiao tapped Lu Zhengnan's forehead: "You, you don't know how to please my mother."
Lu Zhengnan didn't care: "I haven't been careful since I was a child, and it's not like she doesn't know."
The problem is now that there is a comparison, the more careful he is with his wife, the less happy he will be as a mother.
Under Ye Chuxiao's repeated urging, the next day he finally remembered to scoop up a bowl for Mother Lu when scooping up the soup, but he still didn't take it seriously.
However, mother Lu came here this time mainly for the pregnant Ye Chuxiao, so she didn't care about Lao and Lu Zhengnan being angry, and just ordered the nanny to cook this stew and that to nourish Ye Chuxiao's body.
Ye Chuxiao was very grateful for her kindness to herself, but her attitude towards Mi Li'er was really unflattering.
After all, Mi Lier is young, so she often acts like a baby and wants her mother to hug her, but every time at this time, Mother Lu will let her down, saying that she is afraid that she will press Ye Chuxiao's stomach.
Mi Lier learns to dance from her teacher, and music is always needed, but Lu's mother thinks it's too noisy, so she insists on letting them go to the small room next door to practice behind closed doors.
Moreover, Lu's mother has been here for a few days, and has never hugged Mi Li'er once. Mi Li'er calls her grandma, and sometimes she doesn't know whether she really didn't hear it or pretended not to hear it, so she just ignored it.
Mi Lier is a sensitive child, one night, she quietly asked Ye Chuxiao: "Does grandma not like me?"
Ye Chuxiao only felt sad, but couldn't tell the child directly, coaxed her to sleep, and sat on the bed alone in a daze.
Lu Zhengnan was busy with investing in the resort these two days, and Lu's mother was helping to take care of him at home, so he came back very late.
Arrived home after eleven o'clock, but saw that Ye Chuxiao was still up, went to the bed and sat down, pinched her face: "I told you to go to bed early, but I was not obedient."
"I slept too much at noon, so I can't sleep right now." Ye Chuxiao smiled, not wanting to talk about Lu's mother, for fear of causing conflicts.
But Lu Zhengnan still noticed the disappointment in Ye Chuxiao's eyes, and frowned: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." She shook her head: "You've been tired all day, go take a shower and go to bed."
But Lu Zhengnan wasn't prevaricated like this, he looked at her for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Did you quarrel with my mother?"
"No." She denied it too quickly, which made him more sure of his thoughts: "What's the matter with her? Are you not good enough to her? I'll talk to her. "
As he said that he was about to leave the room, Ye Chuxiao hurriedly grabbed him: "You are impatient, we never quarrel, it's just..."
"What is it?" Lu Zhengnan asked unrelentingly: "Say what you have to say, don't be bored in your heart and bear it by yourself, do you know how anxious I am when I see this?"
Ye Chuxiao sighed, and finally said something about Mi Li'er cryptically, and then quickly explained for Mother Lu: "She is also busy with my affairs, so..."
"I understand her." Lu Zhengnan said with a cold face, "She just thinks that the rice grains are not my own."
Ye Chuxiao lowered her head. How could she not understand Lu's mother's thoughts, but the current situation is like this, and no one can change it.
"Forget it, go to sleep." She tugged on his sleeve: "I'm sleepy too, I want you to hug me to sleep."
He knew that she was afraid of going to his mother to argue, so he also followed her, went to take a bath and came back, hugged her to sleep, turned to look at the millet on his other arm, and felt even more distressed.
The next morning, while Mi Lier was going to school and Ye Chuxiao was looking at the design drawings in the study, Lu Zhengnan went downstairs to find Mother Lu, and they went to the garden together.
"What are you doing? I'm still busy in the kitchen." Mother Lu was impatient.
"Mom, are you treating Mi Lier badly?" Lu Zhengnan asked very straightforwardly.
Lu's mother was stunned for a moment, and then she lowered her face: "Not good? Why, who complained to you?"
"You just say yes." Lu Zhengnan's tone also became cold: "For me, Mi Lier is my own daughter, that is, your own granddaughter. Why are you doing this to her?"
"What did I do to her? My granddaughter? Where did I get my own granddaughter?" Lu's mother was anxious, her voice became louder and louder, and she deliberately pointed at the window of Ye Chuxiao's room: "Bring a child into our house, I'm so generous that I didn't care about it, oh, now that I'm here to serve you thoughtfully, why did I do something bad with good intentions? Say I abused her child?"
"The two of us are talking, why are you yelling so loudly?" Lu Zhengnan stopped him immediately, afraid that Ye Chuxiao would overhear.
But Ye Chuxiao still heard it, and stared blankly in front of the computer.
"Okay, I'm quitting, I'm leaving, you can do whatever you want, lest I be treated like a donkey's liver and lungs." Mother Lu angrily took off the apron around her waist, threw it on the ground, and went into the house to pack her things.
Ye Chuxiao hurriedly came downstairs and apologized repeatedly: "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm not..."
But Lu's mother ignored her, turned over the drawers of the cabinet, and threw things into the box one by one.
Ye Chuxiao hurriedly pressed the box, and smiled carefully: "Don't go, Mom."
"Don't go? Is there a place for me to stay here? This is your home. I'm an outsider. I shouldn't have come here in the first place. It will hinder you and your child's happy life." The more Lu's mother said, the more yin and yang became weird Lu Zhengnan was also completely annoyed: "OK, then you can go back to Beijing, live your own life, and live in peace."
As soon as her son rushed away, Lu's mother suddenly felt that she had lost all face, and went out crying and shouting.
Ye Chuxiao stomped her feet anxiously, asking Lu Zhengnan to chase after him.
In the end, Lu Zhengnan still went, but he didn't chase after him, but sent him off, directly sending Mother Lu out of Yunshui Pavilion.
"You have no heart, you forget your mother after you marry a wife, and I won't come to see you again when you give birth to a grandson..." Lu's mother scolded her all the way, but Lu Zhengnan tensed his face and remained silent, and called his secretary to make an appointment. After buying the air ticket, I found a car to take Mother Lu to the airport directly.
When he got home, Ye Chuxiao knew that Lu's mother had gone, so she was angry and panicked: "How are you doing things? How can we get along with each other from now on?"
"We'll talk about it later." Lu Zhengnan put his arm around Ye Chuxiao's shoulders to comfort him: "With her personality, she can keep a bond with each other even if she's far away, but if she lives together for a long time, the conflict will only get bigger."
The matter has come to this point, and there is only remedy, but after Ye Chuxiao called Beijing, Lu's mother would either answer it coldly and hang up, or simply not answer it, leaving Ye Chuxiao with nothing to do.
But Lu Zhengnan didn't think it was a big deal, instead he asked her to leave it alone, and he was really busy during this time, she couldn't bother him with this matter all the time, so she could only keep it in her heart, faintly worried...
****************************
Recently, Lu Zhengnan has been busy with the preparations for the construction of the resort.
Both he and Qi Zhen showed great "cooperative sincerity" and often held meetings together to discuss various details.
But the communication between the two is limited to the conference table, and they don't have much contact in private.
After what happened last time, Qi Zhen no longer came to Yunshui Pavilion, but instead went to school to visit Mi Lier during the day, and Lu Zhengnan didn't even say a kind word to invite him to his home.
Ye Chuxiao was always a taboo topic between them.
Now, the site of the holiday villa has been optimistic, and the construction can start.
Qi Zhen said that he was the one to find the contractor, Lu Zhengnan didn't argue with him, saying it was all up to him.
For the main part, Qizhen finally settled on Tiansheng, which is a well-known family in the industry, and there is no major problem.But when it came to the details, Qi Zhen hesitated to make up his mind.
Qin Nian became a little anxious later, so he had to take the initiative to ask him for instructions: "President Qi, you see that the construction period is coming soon, who will do it?"
Qi Zhen signed the document slowly: "I do have a suitable candidate, but you have to spend some time finding someone for me."
"Hey, tell me." Qin Nian hurriedly agreed.
Qi Zhen took a blank document paper and wrote down a name and a line of address: "It's been a long time, maybe this person has moved, you should inquire around more."
"Then... what if you meet someone with the same name?" Qin Nian was a little embarrassed.
Qi Zhen lowered his eyelashes, and a dark light seemed to flash across his eyes: "Then you can ask him...do you know Ye Chuxiao?"
Qin Nian was taken aback, and wanted to ask again, but saw that Qi Zhen was immersed in approving documents again, no longer willing to speak, and dared not speak more, so he had to leave the office.
It took two days, after getting off the plane and taking a long-distance bus, Qin Nian arrived at the place Qi Zhen mentioned, which was a small city by the river.
However, as expected by Qi Zhen, the man has already moved, and when he asked the neighbors around him, they all looked shy when mentioning this man, saying they didn't know where he moved.
Qin Nian had no choice but to ask the local public security bureau to help him investigate. Finally, he found out that this person had just been released from prison not long ago, and through the inmates who went out with him, he was finally found in a dilapidated rented room. He was found in the room.
"Are you Ye Lei?" Qin Nian asked him.
"My surname is not Ye, but Shi." He was so drunk that he reached out and pushed Qin Nian so that he almost slammed against the door: "Why are you looking for me?"
Qin Nian couldn't believe that this man with a fierce face and an old knife wound from his right cheekbone to his chin was actually the one Qi Zhen wanted to find to contract the project.
After hesitating for a while, he carefully probed: "Do you know Ye Chuxiao?"
"Ye-Chu-Xiao-" The man repeated each word, his eyes suddenly shone with a strange light, and then he grabbed Qin Nian's collar suddenly: "Who are you, who is she?"
That's right.Qin Nian heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't know how to answer his question: "I'm not someone like her. It was our boss who asked me to find you and asked this question."
"Who is your boss?" Shi Lei continued to ask.
Qin Nian hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Qi Zhen."
Shi Lei narrowed his eyes, unable to remember the name.
Qin Nian pulled his collar out of his loosened hand, took two steps back, and stayed away from him before saying, "You come back with me, Mr. Qi is looking for you because he wants you to contract the project. "
"Contracting projects?" Shi Lei seemed to be listening to a joke: "Look at me, do you think I can contract projects?"
I don't even look like it!Qin Nian answered in his heart, but this was the person Qi Zhen was looking for after all, he dared not neglect: "Come back with me, President Qi really ordered so."
"That's fine." Shi Lei thought for a while, then nodded bluntly: "Anyway, I'm almost out of food now, so I'll try my luck with you."
Qin Nian didn't want to tell him too much, so he immediately urged him to leave.
When they returned to the ancient city, Qin Nian called Qi Zhen to ask how to arrange it. He just said: "Find a place for him to live first, and put two better clothes on him. I'll see him later."
Second Monk Zhang Zhang of Qin Nian couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow through.
It was not until the third day that Qi Zhen notified Qin Nian and took Shi Lei to a private room in a hotel.
When Shi Lei entered the restaurant, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. After seeing the luxurious decoration around him, he couldn't help but be speechless. When he reached the door of the VIP room on the third floor, Qin Nian stopped and made a gesture of invitation: "Go in, Qi Always wait inside."
After he finished speaking, he left, Shi Lei stood at the door for a while, he who was always bold, was a little nervous at this moment, he raised his hand and knocked on the door hesitantly.
"Come in." A steady voice came from inside, and Shi Lei felt in a daze that he seemed to have heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it.
He opened the door and went in, but the lights inside were not turned on, only the thick velvet curtains were opened a gap at the far side of the bed, and the white light that came in reflected the silhouette of a person, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
After standing there for a while, he wanted to turn on the light, but at this moment, he heard a "swish", half of the curtain was slid aside, and the man's face became clear.
"It's you!" Shi Lei shouted in astonishment, his fists clenched tightly, because of the fierce anger, the scarred face looked even more ferocious.
"It's me." Qi Zhen smiled calmly, walked slowly to stand in front of him...
(End of this chapter)
When he got home, Mother Lu asked Ye Chuxiao about his current physical condition when she saw him. He didn't tell her about the almost miscarriage before, but just agreed.
At this time, the old man also came out of the house at the east end, so he dismissed his mother and walked over: "Dad, I'm back to do something."
As soon as the two people's eyes met, the old man nodded: "Go over there and talk."
Going to sit under the tree over there, surrounded by colorful flowers and a bustling scene, Lu Zhengnan reached out and brushed off the peony leaves, and said softly: "He has a resort project."
The old man sighed deeply: "It's not that I don't really know about those things before, I just thought... After all, it's all my family. Xinyuan has invested in many projects, but every time they fail, this time... "

The matter has come to this point, and there is only remedy, but after Ye Chuxiao called Beijing, Lu's mother would either answer it coldly and hang up, or simply not answer it, leaving Ye Chuxiao with nothing to do.
But Lu Zhengnan didn't think it was a big deal, instead he asked her to leave it alone, and he was really busy during this time, she couldn't bother him with this matter all the time, so she could only keep it in her heart, faintly worried...
****************************
Recently, Lu Zhengnan has been busy with the preparations for the construction of the resort.
Both he and Qi Zhen showed great "cooperative sincerity" and often held meetings together to discuss various details.
But the communication between the two is limited to the conference table, and they don't have much contact in private.
After what happened last time, Qi Zhen no longer came to Yunshui Pavilion, but instead went to school to visit Mi Lier during the day, and Lu Zhengnan didn't even say a kind word to invite him to his home.
Ye Chuxiao was always a taboo topic between them.
Now, the site of the holiday villa has been optimistic, and the construction can start.
Qi Zhen said that he was the one to find the contractor, Lu Zhengnan didn't argue with him, saying it was all up to him.
For the main part, Qizhen finally settled on Tiansheng, which is a well-known family in the industry, and there is no major problem.But when it came to the details, Qi Zhen hesitated to make up his mind.
Qin Nian became a little anxious later, so he had to take the initiative to ask him for instructions: "President Qi, you see that the construction period is coming soon, who will do it?"
Qi Zhen signed the document slowly: "I do have a suitable candidate, but you have to spend some time finding someone for me."
"Hey, tell me." Qin Nian hurriedly agreed.
Qi Zhen took a blank document paper and wrote down a name and a line of address: "It's been a long time, maybe this person has moved, you should inquire around more."
"Then... what if you meet someone with the same name?" Qin Nian was a little embarrassed.
Qi Zhen lowered his eyelashes, and a dark light seemed to flash across his eyes: "Then you can ask him...do you know Ye Chuxiao?"
Qin Nian was taken aback, and wanted to ask again, but saw that Qi Zhen was immersed in approving documents again, no longer willing to speak, and dared not speak more, so he had to leave the office.
It took two days, after getting off the plane and taking a long-distance bus, Qin Nian arrived at the place Qi Zhen mentioned, which was a small city by the river.
However, as expected by Qi Zhen, the man has already moved, and when he asked the neighbors around him, they all looked shy when mentioning this man, saying they didn't know where he moved.
Qin Nian had no choice but to ask the local public security bureau to help him investigate. Finally, he found out that this person had just been released from prison not long ago, and through the inmates who went out with him, he was finally found in a dilapidated rented room. He was found in the room.
"Are you Ye Lei?" Qin Nian asked him.
"My surname is not Ye, but Shi." He was so drunk that he reached out and pushed Qin Nian so that he almost slammed against the door: "Why are you looking for me?"
Qin Nian couldn't believe that this man with a fierce face and an old knife wound from his right cheekbone to his chin was actually the one Qi Zhen wanted to find to contract the project.
After hesitating for a while, he carefully probed: "Do you know Ye Chuxiao?"
"Ye-Chu-Xiao-" The man repeated each word, his eyes suddenly shone with a strange light, and then he grabbed Qin Nian's collar suddenly: "Who are you, who is she?"
That's right.Qin Nian heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't know how to answer his question: "I'm not someone like her. It was our boss who asked me to find you and asked this question."
"Who is your boss?" Shi Lei continued to ask.
Qin Nian hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Qi Zhen."
Shi Lei narrowed his eyes, unable to remember the name.
Qin Nian pulled his collar out of his loosened hand, took two steps back, and stayed away from him before saying, "You come back with me, Mr. Qi is looking for you because he wants you to contract the project. "
"Contracting projects?" Shi Lei seemed to be listening to a joke: "Look at me, do you think I can contract projects?"
I don't even look like it!Qin Nian answered in his heart, but this was the person Qi Zhen was looking for after all, he dared not neglect: "Come back with me, President Qi really ordered so."
"That's fine." Shi Lei thought for a while, then nodded bluntly: "Anyway, I'm almost out of food now, so I'll try my luck with you."
Qin Nian didn't want to tell him too much, so he immediately urged him to leave.
When they returned to the ancient city, Qin Nian called Qi Zhen to ask how to arrange it. He just said: "Find a place for him to live first, and put two better clothes on him. I'll see him later."
Second Monk Zhang Zhang of Qin Nian couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow through.
It was not until the third day that Qi Zhen notified Qin Nian and took Shi Lei to a private room in a hotel.
When Shi Lei entered the restaurant, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. After seeing the luxurious decoration around him, he couldn't help but be speechless. When he reached the door of the VIP room on the third floor, Qin Nian stopped and made a gesture of invitation: "Go in, Qi Always wait inside."
After he finished speaking, he left, Shi Lei stood at the door for a while, he who was always bold, was a little nervous at this moment, he raised his hand and knocked on the door hesitantly.
"Come in." A steady voice came from inside, and Shi Lei felt in a daze that he seemed to have heard it somewhere, but couldn't remember it.
He opened the door and went in, but the lights inside were not turned on, only the thick velvet curtains were opened a gap at the far side of the bed, and the white light that came in reflected the silhouette of a person, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
After standing there for a while, he wanted to turn on the light, but at this moment, he heard a "swish", half of the curtain was slid aside, and the man's face became clear.
"It's you!" Shi Lei shouted in astonishment, his fists clenched tightly, because of the fierce anger, the scarred face looked even more ferocious.
"It's me." Qi Zhen smiled calmly, walked slowly to stand in front of him...
