Time Space: She is a little hard to flirt with

Chapter 143 Encounter with Chu Zongren

With the arrival of funds, Chu Qingyuan has to hold meetings almost every day to read documents, sign documents, and discuss matters.

It was rare that Si Luanxiao didn't stick with her, and he also became busy.

Chu Qingyuan knew that their battle might be coming to an end.

The frame of the house in the middle has been built. It was all designed by Si Luanxiao himself. Before it was installed, he always said that he wanted to keep it a secret and asked her not to go there unless necessary.

Of course she obeyed.

Miao Lanyi's research went smoothly. Her team was basically composed of new forces with little experience and little work to do. They worked together to explore the issues and were quite united.

However, no matter how busy she was every day, she would buy groceries and cook with them, and they would definitely chat for a while before going to bed, and Chu Zonghuai did the same.

It was visibly that they were smiling more and more. After Chu Qingyuan's treatment, their gray hair and wrinkles decreased, and their complexion became better and better.

But when Chu Qingyuan finished her busy work, she discovered that her father seemed to be a little abnormal!

Was he being bullied?

Someone is bullying him!

On this day, Chu Qingyuan put away the documents in her hands. She had basically arranged everything. She couldn't use so many places herself, so she asked Secretary Tang to arrange for people to rent them out. She only kept a few places in particularly good locations.

She knew that most of them must have been used internally, and there might have been other price increases or renovations, but she didn't care about those, because all the land and houses were hers.

She would also be willing to create profits or provide them with some convenience, as it would be another way of serving the country.

However, with so many property leases and renewals, you still need to find a reliable person to help manage them.

Although Si Luanxiao was willing and active, she felt sorry for him because he had to travel to many places every day, and it was very tiring. Moreover, as his business grew, there were always times when he was too busy to handle everything.

But for now he can still hold on, so there is no rush.

Chu Qingyuan was sitting in a rocking chair in the yard near her parents' house, holding a book and waiting for her father to get off work.

The yard here is ready, it just needs to be repaired. Su Xingjian instructed them to work on the yard here first. It has been completed long ago and can be lived in after a few days.

She had seen it several times. Her father would come over to clean up after get off work. It wasn't like he was doing any chores, he just packed up some small items, and it looked more like he was relieving stress.

Since he is so unhappy, just quit.

She wanted to open a shop that recycles old items, books, antiques, etc., but she didn't have a suitable candidate to be the shopkeeper. Her father liked this, so he was just right.

"Yuanyuan? Why are you here?"

Chu Qingyuan probed into his expression, and sure enough, he had a frown on his face when he came in. After seeing her, he obviously adjusted his mentality, not wanting her to notice it.

"Dad, what's wrong with you these days? Why are you so worried?"

They are father and daughter, so there is no need to hide the relationship, and Chu Qingyuan doesn’t do that either.

"Nothing." Chu Zonghuai smiled when his daughter showed concern for him: "Here, Dad bought you some salt and pepper melon seeds, they are new, see if you like them."

Chu Qingyuan took it and put two pieces in her mouth. It tasted salty and fragrant and was quite delicious.

But she was not fooled by him. She asked him vaguely while eating: "Dad, are you unhappy working here? Or are you not used to it..."

"What's wrong, uncle?"

Si Luanxiao walked over from the doorway at the side, with a gentle smile on his face. He sat down on the stone bench beside her, reached out and took some melon seeds wrapped in newspaper from the small table beside her and peeled them in his hands. He asked gently, but his eyes were as deep as ink.

What should I do if I can’t adapt?

Would she want to take them with her?

He doesn't allow it!

Then he raised his eyes and looked at Chu Zonghuai with a smile, without stopping peeling the peeling paper, waiting for his answer.

Chu Zonghuai didn't know why he felt a cold sweat coming out of his body. He thought that if he really said someone bullied him, Si Luanxiao would kill that person with a knife!

"No, it's okay. My colleagues at the institute are all very nice, and I'm adapting well here. I, it's just, it's just..."

He stammered, looking as if he found it difficult to speak.

Si Luanxiao saw that Chu Qingyuan's expression seemed to have eased, and his mentality also recovered a little. Uncle Chu, he couldn't be... He was frightened by his own imagination. He looked at Chu Qingyuan with round eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

If she knew what he was thinking, he felt that she would stab him first!

"Uncle Chu, what happened to you? If you have something to say, just tell me. Don't let Yuanyuan worry."

Si Luanxiao carefully put all the melon seeds he had peeled into Chu Qingyuan's hands: "Well, I'll go cook first, and come over to eat later."

As he said this, he pretended to leave. Is this Chu Zonghuai capable?

If he leaves now, what kind of person will I become?

There is really no need to be so cautious when speaking!

"Xiao Luan, come and sit down. It's a good opportunity for you to give your uncle some advice."

Si Luanxiao sat down without even standing up straight. Chu Qingyuan glanced at him and couldn't bear to look at him.

"Uncle, if you have something to say, just tell us. We will definitely not hesitate to help if we can!"

Now even Chu Zonghuai wanted to glare at him. You little brat, who are you talking to? Where are ours? Yuanyuan is his daughter, his own daughter!

But when I think of my own troubles.

"Ugh."

It turned out that he went to buy groceries after get off work a few days ago and happened to meet a couple.

"Ugh."

"Chu Zongren."

Chu Qingyuan changed her mind as soon as she realized that her father knew someone in Beijing, and that was the only family that could make him so complicated and entangled.

She looked at Si Luanxiao with a complicated look.

But he was like a melon seed peeling machine. When he saw an extra-large one, he was holding it and secretly biting it with his teeth. He felt their gazes and smiled when he looked up.

Chu Qingyuan calmly looked away, so stupid!

For Si Luanxiao, as long as Chu Qingyuan didn't want to leave, nothing else mattered.

He is not bragging, there is no problem in this world that he cannot solve. He is very good at multitasking and is very relaxed.

"Yuanyuan, do you know them?"

Looking at his daughter's smiling eyes, Chu Zonghuai felt a little full, but he was also surprised that his daughter knew them. Did they know each other?

Chu Qingyuan was in a trance for a moment, and all the events of her past life flashed through her mind.

Cold violence, soft stabbing, cursing, insults, attempted assault, and even trying to force her to sell her body...

Thinking about the treatment she received in their home that year, she unconsciously felt an angry and cold aura around her. Perhaps she should be grateful to them, because it was they who made her go from being innocent to knowing the evil of human nature!

"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Qingyuan came back to her senses in the blink of an eye, and when she looked carefully, she saw Si Luanxiao holding a small plate with half a plate of melon seeds on it. He was squatting in front of her with one leg lowered, looking at her with concern and anxiety.

"I am fine."

Si Luanxiao expressed his disbelief, as Yuanyuan's demeanor just now didn't seem like she was fine.

Even before he met Si Luanxiao, he already had a resistance to them in his heart. Even if Yuanyuan hated them, he would not care.

"Dad, I don't know him. I heard my grandfather talk about him a few times and I remember it."

Chu Zonghuai carefully discerned his daughter's expression, but if his child wanted to hide her emotions, ordinary people would not be able to detect it, so he gave up.

Then he continued with the conversation.

In fact, even without listening, Chu Qingyuan knew what they wanted to do?

Now that they saw that Chu Zonghuai had settled down in Kyoto and had such a good job, it would not be their style not to follow suit and take advantage of him.

Maybe the old lady and the old man are already on the way.

I just don't know when they will come looking for me?

She actually felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart. What was going on?
