Chapter 33 His hand was tightly held by his big palm
This way.
Zhou Chong and Jiang Yao left Xie's house and just returned home, they received the news that the shop was closed.
Logically speaking, everyone is on holiday now, so even if it is blocked, it will be after the New Year.
But when Zhou Chong personally arrived at the shop, he saw that a cadre had issued a ticket and the shop, which was originally selling various New Year goods and cloth, was directly closed.
When he saw clearly that he was listed as a dishonest person and would have to undergo a more difficult review than others when doing business in Huaicheng in the future, his face turned green.
Many times, doing business is about seizing the initiative, but now, in Huaicheng, he is afraid that he cannot even contract a factory, and he does not have a shop. He can only be a peddler, selling some goods and making a few dozen yuan in a month or two.
He simply couldn't accept it, as it would make him even more ashamed in front of Ye Qiaoqiao.
Zhou Chong held the list in his hand, his expression extremely ugly.
As he watched the store close, his employees leave, and his goods pile up and not be sold, Zhou Chong gradually came up with an idea.
He crumpled the bill fiercely and whispered, "Ye Qiaoqiao, since you insist on causing trouble for me, and I still want to do big business, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhou Chong flicked his sleeves and turned away.
At Zhou's house.
This year's Chinese New Year should have been a very festive occasion.
But He Lian made them all very unhappy.
He Lian just sat in the Zhou family's living room and refused to leave.
She said to Jiang Yao proudly, "Jiang Yao, I could have married Gu Jin, but because of you, I somehow offended Ye Qiaoqiao, and Gu Jin no longer treats me well."
"I will stay in the Zhou family from now on. Your life is so good, so what if I follow you?"
Jiang Yao clenched her fists in anger, "You are an unmarried girl, aren't you afraid of ruining your reputation?"
"Reputation? What reputation do I need if I can stay in the Zhou family?" He Lian's eyes were full of envy and nostalgia.
Jiang Yao was so angry at He Lian's despicable behavior.
But she drove He Lian away, and He Lian actually started shouting and making a scene outside Zhou's house, bringing shame to the Zhou family, so that Zhou's mother and father became increasingly dissatisfied with her.
Even Zhou Chong became a little impatient.
Jiang Yao doesn't want to share Zhou Chong with others.
She suppressed her anger and said, "You go back first, I will give you some money, you can live in the guesthouse, and after the New Year, I will buy you a house."
She knew that if she mentioned renting, He Lian would not be interested at all.
Sure enough, after hearing this, He Lian was happy. However, she still waited for Jiang Yao to give her some money before leaving. When she left, she also took away the fruits in Zhou's fruit plate.
Jiang Yao was so angry that her face turned green. You have to know that she was touching the betrothal gift that Zhou Chong gave her.
"Ye Qiaoqiao!" Jiang Yao was filled with hatred.
-
Ye Qiaoqiao and Fu Juechuan had just returned home, and they were both in a good mood.
Commander Ye was sitting in the living room reading the battle report. When he saw the two of them, his dignified expression softened and he asked softly, "Qiao Qiao, Juechuan, you're back?"
"Is everything alright with the Xie family?"
"Dad, it's okay, nothing serious." Ye Qiaoqiao walked to the dining table and sat down. She leaned over the table and briefly told Commander Ye what had happened.
After listening to this, Commander Ye said, "I will write a letter to Mr. Xie. When he was young, he valued loyalty, but now he values profit more. However, he should give me face."
"Thank you, Dad." Ye Qiaoqiao did not refuse her father's kindness.
The Xie family did not have a strong presence in his previous life. It was probably because Zhou Cong’s situation was too miserable in this life that he thought of seeking cooperation with the Xie family.
But in fact, the Xie family’s wealth has been consumed a lot over the years.
"Qiao Qiao, I have a disc here, it's Romance on Mount Lushan, you and Juechuan can go upstairs and play it on the DVD player." Commander Ye looked at his watch and said, "It's time to finish watching it, you can come downstairs to have the reunion dinner tonight."
Ye Qiaoqiao was a little confused. Why was her father so fashionable and let her go on a movie date with Brother Fu?
Although it was a bit strange, Ye Qiaoqiao nodded and agreed, and turned to Fu Juechuan and said, "Brother Fu, do you have time?"
"Yes." Fu Juechuan nodded in agreement.
"Then you go upstairs and go directly to my room. The TV in my room can also play DVDs. I'll go get some fruits. Thank you, Brother Fu, for putting on the movie first." In order to make Fu Juechuan feel uncomfortable, Ye Qiaoqiao took the initiative to assign him tasks.
Fu Juechuan nodded and went upstairs.
Ye Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief as she watched him leave, and turned into the kitchen.
She took out the grapes that had just been delivered today from the basket, washed them and put them on a plate, and she also packed some oranges for herself.
Then she took a cup. There was a teapot in her room, so there was no need to prepare anything else.
Ye Qiaoqiao went upstairs with her things.
As soon as I walked outside, I saw that the door was open.
Fu Juechuan heard the footsteps, put the disc in, stood up and walked out, taking the plate from her hand.
When he saw the grapes, he curled his fingers slightly and stared at them for a while before shifting his gaze to Ye Qiaoqiao's face.
"Brother Fu, what's wrong? Did I wash the wrong fruit?" Ye Qiaoqiao called him a few times before he responded, still a little surprised.
Fu Juechuan regained his composure in an instant under her puzzled gaze, "No, I didn't hear it just now."
Ye Qiaoqiao almost thought she was hallucinating. Didn’t she hear it?
Could it be possible that Brother Fu couldn’t hear me?
He is the king of soldiers and the god of war!
Is he still angry?
Don’t even like grapes anymore?
Ye Qiaoqiao thought of this possibility and was a little absent-minded while watching the movie. After thinking carefully and failing to come up with any answer, she gritted her teeth and turned around to ask, "Brother Fu, did I do something wrong at Xie's house? You seem a little unhappy."
Fu Juechuan didn't know what the movie was about. Hearing this, he raised his head slightly and looked at her, "...Why do you say that?"
"Don't you like me holding your hand?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked apologetically.
Fu Juechuan's eyes darkened, and he rubbed his fingers slightly, "I have never held anyone's hand."
When Ye Qiaoqiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat. For some reason, her ears felt a little hot. “Then… then I am offended.”
After Ye Qiaoqiao finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Yes, Brother Fu, whether in his past life or now, never had any ambiguous relationships and always kept himself clean.
"No offense." Fu Juechuan answered her concisely and forcefully.
Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't help but feel happy about his attitude, "Then why are you angry, Brother Fu?"
"I'm not angry." Fu Juechuan couldn't bear to see her racking her brains to worry about him, so he said softly and firmly, "I won't be angry with you."
"Neither now nor in the future will I."
Ye Qiaoqiao was shocked by his serious look, as if Brother Fu had made some decision, and his eyes regained their previous firmness and determination.
Ye Qiaoqiao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't figure out why.
"Brother Fu, I won't be angry with you either. If we have any conflicts, we must tell each other frankly." Ye Qiaoqiao replaced her discomfort with cherishing Fu Juechuan. She cherished her relationship with him, which was better than friendship and more like family affection.
