"Hello!"

At night, Li Xiujun received a phone call in a daze. Her fair arms paused, trembling slightly due to the slight chill.

There is a time difference between the west and the capital, and Gu Qingming is sitting by the window watching the sunset.

At this time in the past, he would have just finished his work and returned to the hotel, but his Xiujun would have already fallen asleep.

Generally speaking, if the two people's schedules don't match, Gu Qingming will not take the initiative to disturb them.

But today is different, he really wants to talk to his Xiujun.

Gu Qingming's voice was gentle, "Rest?"

When Li Xiujun heard the other person's voice, she was startled and instantly woke up.

She held the phone tightly, unconcealedly excited, "Qingming, you finally called me."

"I miss you so much." She couldn't wait to express her emotions.

Gu Qingming curled his thin lips slightly when he heard this.

He smiled and said, "It seems like you really missed me. That's why you just heard my voice. Is that it?"

Li Xiujun struggled to get up from the bed. She complained slightly, "We have a different time zone. Every day I have to worry about whether you are busy or not, and whether business is not suitable for you."

"I haven't contacted you for several days. How could I not miss you?"

They are husband and wife, and it is only natural for them to love and support each other.

The two have experienced a lot, and Li Xiujun has now learned to take the initiative. Opposite her is her third uncle, who is also Qingming.

Gu Qingming looked up out the window. The sunset had ended and dusk was gone, but the comforting warmth had never dissipated.

He slowly touched his heart, which was beating irregularly because of someone.

He curled his lips and said gently, "Xiujun, I miss you too."

Li Xiujun blushed as she sat in bed. She bit her lip shyly and asked expectantly, "Uncle San? When will you be back?"

The person opposite paused, and Gu Qingming's eyes turned cold. Although the mineral had been confirmed, the next step was not just that.

So he and Xu Liuwen still need to stay here, and it will take at least a month.

He frowned and apologized, "If there's anything you can't handle during this time, just go find Dad!"

He couldn't tell the truth directly, so he had to use this to remind Li Xiujun.

Li Xiujun already understood, and her previously bright eyes quickly dimmed. Her little finger trembled, but she still held the phone tightly.

Although she really wanted Gu Qingming to come back, she knew that the Gu family currently needed to expand its business, and the twists and turns involved could not be resolved in a day or two.

She knew she couldn't continue, so she could only yawn and mumble, "I understand! I have classes tomorrow, so I'll rest first."

The Gu family lives far from the school, and she has early classes tomorrow, so she really needs to get up early. Li Xiujun did not lie.

Gu Qingming sighed softly. Xiujun looked a little disappointed. Faced with an unsolvable problem, he could not give Li Xiujun any guarantees. After struggling, he nodded.

"Have a good rest." Gu Qingming said this in a deep voice, putting a lot of effort into it.

Li Xiujun's hands tightly grasped the quilt and nodded unwillingly, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, the two of them stayed awake all night. The longing for each other made it impossible for them to remain calm.

The next day, Zhang Shengmin and Mr. Li drove to the old house.

Mr. Li tried to appease them midway, "No matter what, they've already spent money! It's normal for them to be upset. We've discussed this. Getting the house is the best option. If not, we can think of other ways."

Zhang Shengmin's face was as pale as ash. He was already in poor health, and the heavy reality he had faced in the past few days was truly cruel to him.

Zhang Shengmin walked unsteadily, his cloudy eyes staring at the familiar old house in front of him, feeling melancholy.

Back then, he always said that the Zhang family’s old house would never be sold and would remain here forever. This was the foundation of their Zhang family.

It’s a pity that he is confused!

When he arrived at the old house, the yard next door was still locked. The long years of erosion had left many dense spots on the lock, but he was like an old man. Even though he was weak, he still guarded the house and never left.

It just so happened that there was someone in the house next door.

Mr. Yi came today to check the progress of the porcelain. He arrived just one step earlier than Mr. Li and Zhang Shengmin.

Mr. Li politely stepped forward and asked the bodyguard standing at the door, "Young man, is the owner of this house inside now?"

"We have something to discuss with your husband!"

Thank you Mr. Li for being so calm. Zhang Shengmin felt a little more anxious. "Yes! We do have something urgent to deal with. Please be flexible."

These bodyguards are all over 1.8 meters tall, with serious expressions. You can tell at a glance that they are not to be trifled with.

And just as they thought, these people really had no intention of communicating normally.

They didn't even ask any more questions and just refused outright.

"Our master is not seeing anyone. He has something else to do right now. Please leave first." After saying this, the bodyguard pointed his hand outwards, the meaning of which was obvious.

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Mr. Li frowned. It seemed that the owner of the house did not seem to be someone who was easy to mess with.

Zhang Shengmin was still worried. What would happen to his house if he couldn't meet the owner?

In the yard, after Mr. Yi finished checking the porcelain book, he soon heard a subtle argument outside. It came from far away and was getting closer, but it was impossible to ignore.

He put down the teacup with some annoyance. This place was originally quiet, but suddenly it became chaotic, and the tea tasted bland.

He waved to the bodyguards behind him, "What happened? Is there someone causing trouble outside?"

The bodyguard tapped the receiver in his ear. After asking, he respectfully said to Mr. Yi, "Sir, two elderly men came outside and said they own the house. They mean to say they want to talk to you."

"Theirs?" Mr. Yi wondered.

Interesting! He had already paid for the house, and it was clearly written in black and white that it was theirs. This was against the rules.

"Please invite them in! I want to talk to them about the house!"

Not long after, Mr. Li and Zhang Shengmin were invited directly into the yard.

Zhang Shengmin had a gloomy face and walked with heavier steps. This was originally his home, but he never thought that his life would be so absurd that when he walked in again, he was just a guest.

"Just call me Mr. Yi." Mr. Yi poured tea for the two of them.

Old Master Li looked at the other person. He looked young, but his eyes were gloomy. He spoke in a solemn tone, and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

Zhang Shengmin said bluntly, "Mr. Yi, we just said in front of the door that we came here today because of the house!"

Mr. Yi nodded. "I know, but let me be clear. Your daughter has already sold the house to me. It's written in black and white. It doesn't make sense for you to ask for it back!"
