"Yeah, didn't you see someone over there confessing their love?"
The classroom was filled with quiet discussion, and Su Li's gaze towards Xie Feng grew even more annoyed.
"No, can you leave now?"
Xie Feng was not surprised at all by her words and said with a smile, "Su Li, you are as ruthless as ever."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his seat.
Xie Feng's feelings for Su Li were complicated. At first, he just thought she was interesting, and then he wanted to have her space.
He's someone who really wants her now.
When Su Li directly rejected Xie Feng, her classmates thought the school beauty was quite aloof, since Xie Feng was good-looking and came from a good family.
Many female classmates at school were interested in him.
She said she would refuse, and that was that.
As the days went by, Su Li's house was almost completely renovated.
Lu Huai's renovations have become increasingly luxurious, and his team has grown from one person to ten.
Apart from the three people he initially recruited, the other seven were his classmates from the same school.
On the day the renovation was completed, Su Li paid him the remaining balance.
"Lu Huai, I have a two-story house here that needs renovation. I've already drawn up the design drawings. Do you want to take it on?"
As she spoke, Su Li handed him the blueprints. Lu Huai looked at the blueprints and roughly guessed what they meant: "This is a shop?"
Su Li nodded. "Look at the current situation. There are basically no more red-armbanded officers arresting people for speculation and profiteering on the streets anymore. Also, I've heard from people I know that the country might fully reopen after the New Year. I want to finish renovating this house in advance so I can sell some daily necessities later."
Lu Huai gave Su Li a deep look; she was truly remarkable.
It seems as if everything in this world is under her control.
Whether it's major national events or trivial matters in our daily lives.
Her only misstep was probably her relationship with Gu Huanian!
Having only been in Beijing for a few months, he's already selling houses and renovating them, and now he's renovating his shop too.
Even if the shop was rented, it was still quite impressive.
But based on his understanding of Su Li, he figured that the shop was most likely bought by her.
He couldn't understand where she got so much money, so he stopped thinking about it.
"Sure! Let's rest for today, and I'll arrange for someone to go over tomorrow."
Su Li nodded, then took out a few apples from the room and handed them to Lu Huai, saying, "You've worked hard these past few days."
Lu Huai smiled and took it, then said to Su Li, "Today is Ya Ya's birthday. She has always liked you and wanted me to ask if she could invite you to our house for a meal."
“Sure!” Su Li agreed immediately. She hadn’t visited Hu Zi and Ya Ya in a long time.
When Lu Huai saw that she agreed, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
After tidying herself up a bit, Su Li followed Lu Huai outside.
There aren't many things in the house that kids like.
Su Li planned to buy some hair clips that little girls like for Ya Ya when she passed by the supply and marketing cooperative later.
Upon arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Li said to Lu Huai, "Wait here for me, I'm going in to buy something."
Lu Huai smiled and said, "I'll go with you!"
The two walked in together, a scene that Zhang Da happened to see while passing by on a mission. He said to Gu Huanian, who was absent-minded beside him, "Battalion Commander, I think I just saw your wife."
Upon hearing this, Gu Huanian immediately perked up; "You just said you saw Ali? Where is she?"
Zhang Da nodded; "I just saw my sister-in-law go into the supply and marketing cooperative with a young man."
Upon hearing the words "young man," Gu Huanian's mind went blank, and he hurriedly ran towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
As soon as you enter, you see Su Li chatting and laughing with Lu Huai while buying something.
He didn't go forward; he just stood at a distance and watched.
Soon the two finished buying their things and headed outside, with Gu Huanian following behind them.
Zhang Da found it strange that the battalion commander wasn't going up to talk to Su Li, but instead following behind them with a pained expression.
But he couldn't interfere in the battalion commander's affairs, so he could only silently follow along.
Gu Huanian followed Su Li until she arrived at Lu Huai's house.
The gate to the Lu family's courtyard was open, and Grandma Lu was sitting in the courtyard with her two children when she saw Lu Huai bring Su Li over.
Excitedly, she stood up, took Su Li's hand, and said with a smile, "Your Educated Youth Su is here! Please sit down. You have no idea how much Ya Ya has been looking forward to seeing you today."
Ya Ya ran and jumped into Su Li's arms; "Sister, I didn't expect Big Brother to actually call you here, I'm so happy!"
The little girl has gained quite a bit of weight recently. Su Li pinched her round little face and said, "So cute. Look what gift your older sister brought you."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand, revealing a butterfly hair clip. Ya Ya happily took it, exclaiming, "Wow, sister, I love this hair clip! The butterfly on it looks so real, it even moves! Thank you, sister!"
Seeing how happy Ya Ya was, Su Li couldn't help but smile as well.
Tiger walked up to Su Li with envy. Su Li patted his head and said, "I also prepared a gift for you."
Tiger looked at Su Li expectantly and asked, "Really?"
Su Li took a small frog out of her pocket and handed it over; "Of course it's real, I never lie."
Tiger took the little frog, his smile widening. "Thank you, sister."
Seeing this, Lu Huai looked at Su Li with a gentle expression; "Don't spoil them too much. I've prepared the dishes. You stay here and chat with them for a while. I'll go cook, it'll be ready in a bit."
