Chapter 379 A girl's cute smile
Pei Hanchuan obviously didn't know.
This entire street is indeed the property of the Pei family. The Pei family has always maintained a good relationship with the merchants who rent shops. If the merchants make money and are able to invest in purchasing shops, they can also discuss with the Pei family to directly purchase the property rights.
Of the three shops, one was bought three years ago, and the other two were bought a month ago.
This matter doesn't seem strange at first glance. It is an agreement between the Pei family and the long-term tenants.
But now——
It's no coincidence that three stores are being renovated at the same time.
By then, what Chu Yue said would sound more like the truth. The three shops would become one, and it would become clear why the owners of the other two shops suddenly had enough money to buy the property rights of the shops.
It seems... someone is behind this.
Could it be...?!
A person's name flashed through Pei Hanchuan's mind, and his expression suddenly changed. His aura became heavier, and an uncontrollable sharp edge was revealed.
"Chu Yue, Tianci will let you play here for a day, and I will pick him up in the afternoon. I have something to go back first. I have remembered the proposal of jointly opening a pharmaceutical factory, so I will leave now."
Pei Hanchuan walked very fast, without looking back or stopping for a moment, got into the car immediately, and then stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Chu Yue looked at Pei Hanchuan's reaction and a doubt flashed through her mind.
Could it be that the person the store across the street really wants to deal with is not her, but the Pei family?
In order to deal with the Pei family, use her as cannon fodder, and deliberately open a grocery store to target her?
I really like her, Chu Yue.
Chu Yue was thinking this in her heart when she suddenly saw an unfamiliar black car driving over and stopping directly in front of three shops across the street.
This car looks very expensive at first glance, even more expensive than the one Pei Hanchuan drives.
Through the blurry car window glass, Chu Yue vaguely saw the figures of a man and a woman.
After the car door opened, the man sat in the car without moving, but the woman got out.
Then, Chu Yue saw a very familiar face - it was He Meijiao.
She was forced to take off her military uniform not long ago, but now she is back.
After getting off the car, He Meijiao did not walk into the store immediately. As if she felt Chu Yue's gaze, she turned around.
She smiled contemptuously at Chu Yue across the street.
Chu Yue, you never thought I would come back!
I will take back everything I lost to you and all the humiliation I suffered!
The hatred in He Meijiao's eyes came to her face.
…
Behind the house.
Lu Yuanbao and Pei Tianci played hopscotch for a while. After the exercise, Pei Tianci's face became redder than when he was embarrassed just now, and he was breathing heavily.
Lu Yuanbao opened the kettle and handed it over, "Tianci, drink some water."
"Thank you, Brother Yuanbao." Pei Tianci took the kettle, drank a few sips, then looked at Lu Yuanbao and said, "Brother Yuanbao, have you grown taller?"
"Really?" Lu Yuanbao didn't notice either.
Pei Tianci nodded seriously, "I used to look at you here, but now I can only look at you here."
The first one is the center of the eyebrows, and the second one is the chin.
Pei Tianci said enviously, "Brother Yuanbao, you have grown a lot taller. I really want to grow as tall as you."
Lu Yuanbao touched his head and could not feel any changes in his body. Rather than saying that he had grown taller, it would be more accurate to say that he had gained weight, with a lot more flesh on his body.
Since he started living with Chu Yue, he had eggs to eat every day, leftover braised pork belly from time to time, as well as milk and malted milk... Children need all the nutrients they need.
Lu Yuanbao was skinny and pitiful at first, but after taking in enough nutrition, he grew as fast as a sapling.
He nodded and said, "Maybe you really have grown taller, Tianci. As long as you eat well and exercise more every day, you will grow as tall as me."
"Really?" Pei Tianci asked with sparkling eyes.
"Of course it's true. That's what my mother said, and she never misses a thing she says."
"Yeah, my mother also said that Aunt Chu is a very powerful person and asked me to listen to her."
The two children mentioned Chu Yue, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time.
At this moment, two white butterflies flew into the alley, first circled Pei Tianci, and then flew to a flower on the side.
Ye Zhaodi planted some roses in the alley. Many of them, big and small, bloomed. She also cut a few and put them in a vase in the shop.
The butterfly probably smelled the fragrance of the flowers, so it flew in.
"Brother Yuanbao, look, it's a butterfly!" Pei Tianci lowered his voice and spoke softly.
Lu Yuanbao remained silent.
The two little children stood shoulder to shoulder, head to head, close to the roses, watching the white butterflies flying around, flapping their wings constantly, and their dancing was so beautiful.
The little butterfly was flying and suddenly approached Pei Tianci.
Pei Tianci gently stretched out his hand, wanting the butterfly to land on his palm, but his nose suddenly felt itchy and he sneezed.
“A-choo—”
A sound scared the butterfly away, and it flew high and far away. Although it had not yet left the alley, it was still out of reach.
"Ah... the butterfly flew away..."
Pei Tianci had a look of regret and loss on his face, his eyes were watery, and he looked at the flying butterfly with full of regret.
Lu Yuanbao looked at Pei Tianci's sad face and said softly, "Tianci, wait for me here, I'll be back soon."
"Brother Yuanbao——"
Lu Yuanbao walked back into the house. After a while, he came out with a small wooden stick in his hand.
At one end of the small wooden stick, there was a rope tied, and at the end of the rope were two small pieces of paper tied, which were torn into the shape of small butterflies.
Lu Yuanbao stood in the alley, raised his hand and waved a small wooden stick.
As the small wooden stick swayed, the rope carried the small piece of paper with the butterfly and flew around in circles. The small white piece of paper looked like a dancing butterfly.
Pei Tianci watched curiously and saw the real butterfly fly high, circle around, and suddenly fly back, chasing after the paper butterfly, flying around and around.
Paper Butterfly~
Circle after circle, getting closer and closer.
"Brother Yuanbao, the little butterfly has returned!"
Pei Tianci shouted happily.
The little butterfly not only flew back, but also followed Lu Yuanbao's command. It flew in the direction the wooden stick pointed.
Several times, the little butterfly was very close, right in front of Pei Tianci's eyes.
Pei Tianci's eyes lit up as he watched, chasing butterflies with his eyes. His fair little face showed a cute smile that belonged to a girl, and he smiled so happily.
"Brother Yuanbao, you are so awesome!"
Lu Yuanbao slowed down the movement of his hands and said to Pei Tianci, "Tianci, do you want to try it?"
