Chapter 22 Shen Yubai's Mother Comes Home
After taking over the project, Li Ruochu instantly became like a wound-up machine, throwing himself wholeheartedly into the busy work.
Every day, he sat around the conference table with Jiang Mu and Chu Xi, discussing various work matters enthusiastically.
Sometimes they argued over a plan, and sometimes they smiled at each other because of a flash of inspiration.
After the discussion, Li Ruochu would put on heavy work clothes, put on a safety helmet, and go to the construction site to check the construction work.
Her eyes were focused and determined, not missing any details. Even though the sun was scorching and her clothes were soaked with sweat, she didn't care.
What surprised Li Ruochu was that during these busy days, Shen Yubai didn't bother her for several days.
This also made her feel relaxed and at ease.
One night half a month later, Li Ruochu finished a day's work and was about to go home with his tired body.
At this time, Jiang Mu hurried over, stretched out his hand to hold her arm, with a mysterious smile on his face, and said: "Secretary Li, I have found out about the house for you. The original owner does not plan to come back and wants to sell it as soon as possible. Two million is enough for you to move in. Do you want to consider it?"
When Li Ruochu heard this, his originally tired eyes suddenly widened, full of surprise and suspicion.
She tilted her head slightly, raised her eyebrows, and said with a bitter smile on her lips: "Secretary Jiang, you are not kidding, are you? A house in Bishui Pavilion, two million? How big is this house!"
Bishui Pavilion is located in the city center, which is a well-known high-end residential area in the city with various apartment types.
Even the smallest apartment costs more than 30,000 yuan per square meter, not to mention the large ones.
Jiang Mu looked at Li Ruochu's surprised expression and couldn't help laughing. He then explained, "The original owner was in a hurry to go abroad for other reasons, so he was in a hurry to sell it. I'm familiar with them so he asked me to do it."
After listening to Jiang Mu's explanation, Li Ruochu still felt a little confused.
She frowned, a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes, and all kinds of strange thoughts emerged involuntarily in her mind. She muttered softly: "Are you sure there is no other problem with the house, such as being haunted or something?"
After all, it is hard to believe that such a huge bargain suddenly falls on your head.
Jiang Mu looked at Li Ruochu's cautious look, shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "Secretary Li, you worry too much. If you don't like it, you can look at something else!"
When Li Ruochu heard this, his heart tightened, fearing that he would miss this rare opportunity.
She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Mu's arm, "No, no, no, I like it. This price is really good. When can we go through the formalities?"
She was secretly thinking in her heart that such a good opportunity must not be missed. With her own house, she would not have to live under the same roof with Shen Yubai anymore.
Jiang Mu looked at Li Ruochu's excitement, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile, and said: "I can help you with the formalities, you just need to prepare the money. If you don't have sufficient funds, you can apply for a bank loan and pay a down payment."
In fact, Jiang Mu knew clearly that Feng Yizhou had specifically asked him to help deal with this house.
If Li Ruochu knew that the house belonged to Feng Yizhou, I wonder if she would be willing to buy it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mu sighed secretly in his heart. He felt that his work was really hard. Not only did he have to be busy with work, but he also had to help the president keep the matter secret.
"Okay, I trust you to do the job. I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow." Li Ruochu's face was filled with an expectant smile. He then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jiang Mu vigorously. The two of them hit it off as if they had reached an important contract.
After a busy day, Li Ruochu finally felt a little relieved. After saying goodbye to Jiang Mu, he returned home, feeling a little tired but excited about buying a house.
When I opened the door, the lights in the house were dim and quiet.
Li Ruochu changed his shoes and walked into the living room, where he suddenly saw a woman sitting on the sofa.
At this moment, she was leaning lazily on the back of the sofa, her eyes fixed on the TV. On the coffee table in front of her was a cup of steaming coffee.
When Lin Yin heard the door open, she slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Li Ruochu. Her originally calm expression instantly turned cold, as if covered by a layer of frost.
She looked Li Ruochu up and down, and said in a sarcastic tone: "How come you, a secretary, look busier than my son? You came back so late, you must have been fooling around somewhere!"
Lin Yin spoke with a hint of sarcasm in her smile, and it didn't seem at all like she treated Li Ruochu as her own daughter-in-law.
When Li Ruochu heard this, he was slightly stunned at first, then he straightened his back, with a hint of stubbornness in his eyes.
In the past, she always respected Lin Yin, just because she was Shen Yubai's mother. Even if Lin Yin was dissatisfied with her words, she always chose to endure it silently.
But at this moment, after going through so much, she no longer wanted to endure Lin Yin's harsh words.
Li Ruochu took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and responded coldly: "When it comes to fooling around, I can't compare to your son. If you think I'm coming back too late, I can always stay at home in the future."
"Li Ruochu, I knew that you were with my son for his money. Now that you've married him and become the young mistress of the Shen family, your true colors have been revealed!"
Lin Yin's voice rose a few degrees, her eyes widened, and she pointed at Li Ruochu, her face full of anger and accusation.
When Shen Yubai said he wanted to marry Li Ruchu, she firmly disagreed.
If Shen Yubai's father hadn't said that Li Ruochu could help Shen Yubai at work, she would never have agreed to let Li Ruochu in.
In her opinion, Li Ruochu now has Shen Yubai's support, so she dares to be so disrespectful to her, which shows that this woman is very scheming.
"Since you think I'm not suitable and Shen Yubai is greedy for money, why don't you take out a few hundred million to let me leave him? If you are willing to take the money, I will get out immediately!"
Li Ruochu showed no sign of weakness. She strode to the sofa beside her, sat down, and looked at Lin Yin provocatively.
Then he unceremoniously reached out and picked up the fruit on the coffee table in front of Lin Yin and started eating it.
While she was eating, she was thinking to herself: I have been busy for such a long time and haven't had dinner yet. Now when I get home I see this old witch. I am really disgusted and I have lost my appetite!
"You..." Lin Yin was so angry at Li Ruochu's words that she couldn't speak. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "You don't have much time left. I don't believe you don't know about Yubai and Xiaoying. Soon, you will be divorced!"
"I don't understand what you are so happy about. Your son cheated on me during marriage. Even if he doesn't leave the house with nothing, he has to give me most of the property. In order to prevent your Shen family's property from falling into the hands of an outsider like me, you'd better give me 200 million yuan as a breakup fee, so that you can save your Shen family from losing more than half of its property!"
Li Ruochu sneered, her eyes full of mockery. She leaned forward slightly and stared at Lin Yin closely, as if she wanted to see through her.
"Chu Chu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Just then, a gloomy voice sounded from the door...
