Yingying went to school, and Aunt Chen and the household robot Beijiayi were at home.
Bei Jiayi's memory had been reset, and it didn't remember at all that Xia Chujian had returned yesterday.
Seeing Xia Chujian, its electronic synthesized voice politely said: "The master is back."
When Aunt Chen saw her, she was also surprised, "First time meeting you, you're back!"
"Your aunt and we are so worried! Your aunt simply took everyone in the family to Beichen Star to wait for you!"
Xia Chujian's face was calm and she said, "Aunt Chen, I'm too tired. Let me rest for a while."
Aunt Chen nodded repeatedly and said distressedly, "Where have you been? Look at all the mud!"
"Go take a shower! I'll make you something to eat, and then you can go to sleep!"
Xia Chujian nodded and walked up the stairs alone.
The lonely back reveals fatigue and desolation.
Although Aunt Chen knew that Xia Chujian did it on purpose, she still felt very uncomfortable.
She knew that Xia Chujian had returned, but the difficulties she faced had not decreased at all.
For people like them, who have no background and want to make a name for themselves by relying on their own abilities, it's difficult, really too difficult!
Aunt Chen's worried expression was genuine and not fake at all.
Xia Chujian returned to her bedroom, put away Shao Siming's black and silver mecha, and went to the bathroom to take a good bath.
Then he ate the food brought by Aunt Chen, and then fell into his bed, sleeping soundly and unconscious.
It was around seven or eight o'clock in the evening when Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoning arrived in a small aircraft and stopped near her home, and she was awakened by Yingying.
"Chu Jian, my mother asked me to tell you that there are two groups of people outside. Are they here to look for you?"
This is what Aunt Chen saw from the surveillance camera in the manor.
Of course, it was the monitoring machine intelligence that notified Aunt Chen.
Xia Chujian changed into comfortable casual clothes and came down from the second floor with Yingying.
She went to the monitoring room to take a look and said, "Yes, they are here to see me."
"I'll open the door."
She came out of the mansion and walked along the winding corridor in the courtyard to the gate.
Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoning also happened to arrive at the door and were about to ring the doorbell.
Xia Chujian opened the courtyard door and said with a smile, "What a coincidence! Did you two come here on the same interstellar spaceship?"
Quan Yuxun and Zong Ruoning looked at each other, smiled and said, "It's okay, it's a coincidence."
He didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, and it was obvious that he didn't want to say more about this topic.
Xia Chujian stepped aside to let the two of them in.
They came to the living room of the Xia family manor and sat down. The household robot Bei Jiayi brought them two cups of tea.
This was Zong Ruoning's first time in Xia Chujian's home. He couldn't help but look around and praised, "This house is really nice. The decoration is very tasteful."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Excuse me, I don't have money, otherwise I could decorate it with more taste."
Before Zong Ruoning could react, Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "That's right. If my client were rich, even the toilet in his house would probably be gold-plated."
Xia Chujian sighed, "If you have money, it's not just gold plating, it's pure gold! ——It shows you still don't have money."
Speaking of this, Xia Chujian couldn't help but think of his suitcase filled with pure natural gold ore...
It’s still in Huo Yushen’s hands!
I don’t know when he will return it to her!
Zong Ruoning looked at Xia Chujian in surprise. She really didn't expect that this was her taste.
Quan Yuxun picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide the corners of his lips that were slightly raised.
Xia Chujian also sat opposite them, holding a bottle of high-quality nutrient solution, unscrewed it and took a sip.
Zong Ruoning saw this and couldn't help but ask, "Do you only drink nutrient solution at home?"
Actually, Xia Chujian was hungry outside this time, so he thought that nutrient solution, which could quickly replenish nutrition and eliminate hunger, was particularly good.
So I drank nutrient solution at home as a revenge.
But facing Zong Ruoning's question, she shrugged her shoulders out of habit and said, "I'm poor, there's nothing I can do. I'm already very satisfied to have high-quality nutrient solution to drink."
"When I was trapped in the Kingdom of Destiny, I had nothing to eat or drink for several days and nights. I almost died there."
As she spoke, she took another sip of the high-quality nutrient solution and said with emotion, "At that time, I swore that I would never dislike the taste of nutrient solution again!"
"If there's another high-quality nutrient solution in front of me, I'll definitely drink a hundred of them!"
Zong Ruoning felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
He knew that many people in this world lived in poverty, but he had never realized that there were people around him who found even a full meal a luxury...
Quan Yuxun's mouth twitched.
He wasn't fooled by Xia Chujian's words. He could afford to live in a house like this and even get a share of the profits from the business he and Su Buyan were partnering on. How could he be poor?!
However, he could also feel that Xia Chujian had indeed suffered a lot this time.
Because she was darker and thinner, her whole aura was like a sword drawn from its sheath, with an unmatched sharpness and a murderous aura that demanded the death of anyone who stood in her way.
He took another sip of tea, and without exposing Xia Chujian's "complaint", he just said intentionally or unintentionally: "Really? How did you end up somewhere else alone?"
"Aren't you guys participating in an interstellar expedition together with many other people?"
Xia Chujian secretly praised Quan and Xun Shangdao in his heart.
She put down the empty tube of advanced nutrient solution, looked at Zong Ruoning, and asked tentatively, "Commissioner Zong, you should know how I fell behind alone, right?"
Zong Ruoning's face darkened and he said, "Well, everyone saw what happened at the time and recorded it on video."
