Chapter 733 The Tang Family's Strangeness
"Aunt!" Ye Rou hurriedly said goodbye to Zhou Liang's family and chased out with Wang Honghong.
The figure running ahead paused and slowly turned around: "Xiao Rou, what a coincidence."
Wang Honghong widened her eyes.
There was no other reason, the Tang Panxia in front of him was so different from before.
His waist-length black hair was cut short to the side of his ears. His face was painted with something, which made it look slightly gray. He wore a bulky coat and worn cloth shoes covered in mud.
She is unrecognizable in a crowd, completely destroying her previous elegant image of a cheongsam beauty.
"Aunt Tang, is the style you're wearing today...sharp?" Wang Honghong was also full of questions.
Ye Rou was smart and knew the whole story of Tang Panxia's family, so she understood everything immediately.
"Mrs. Tang was the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper back then." She said with certainty.
Tang Panxia smiled bitterly.
She was already careful enough when traveling, and she just didn't want to involve Xiaorou in this matter.
Unexpectedly, Xiaorou would suddenly come to Zhou's house today, and she ran into her by chance.
At this point, Tang Panxia said calmly, "Yes, it's her."
Wang Honghong didn't understand at all. Just as she was about to ask, she saw her sister-in-law's face darken.
The gentle voice was like a cold winter wind blowing across the skin, chilling and creepy: "Aunt, why didn't you tell me?"
Wang Honghong subconsciously fell silent and shuddered.
My sister-in-law is angry.
Tang Panxia knew that Ye Rou was worried about her, and her gaze moved down and finally stopped at Ye Rou's slightly bulging belly.
"I don't want you to worry."
My aunt lowered her eyes. Her already thin body had become even thinner during this period of time. She looked very disheveled in the ill-fitting clothes she wore.
Ye Rou paused her harsh words and sighed softly, "Aunt, what have you found out?"
Tang Panxia raised her head and met Ye Rou's beautiful eyes full of tolerance.
Ye Rou is mature and calm, and even though she is the youngest, no one dares to look down on her.
Tang Panxia said truthfully, "Actually, I didn't find anything."
Zhao Quan's family is extremely low-key. During the time he returned to China, only his eldest son went out, and Zhao Quan did not even show up.
Ye Rou thought of Mrs. Tang and asked in confusion, "Is this Mrs. Tang Zhao Quan's wife?"
A trace of disgust flashed across Tang Panxia's eyes: "She's his sister."
Wang Honghong understood a little, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait a minute, my sister pretends to be my wife, what kind of perverted fetish is this?"
Ye Rou rolled her eyes at him and said, "It would be strange if he were to return to the country with the housekeeper's sister by his side."
Tang Panxia nodded: "This way, my father's old friend will completely dispel his suspicions."
"That's not right." Ye Rou shook her head. "Aunt, you also said that Zhao Quan is cautious. His sudden return to the country will definitely attract attention. If he plans to stay for a long time, he will never let his sister pretend to be his wife."
Wang Honghong understood and concluded, "Sister-in-law, are you saying that Lao Deng has no intention of staying in the country?"
"So—"
Ye Rou made an eight hand gesture and rested it on her chin: "Zhao Dinglan suddenly targeted Zhou Liang's family. This is contrary to Zhao Quan's cautious style. It's inconsistent."
Wang Honghong agreed after hearing what her sister-in-law said:
"Indeed, I felt that way when I heard them arguing. That round-faced woman seemed to be deliberately stirring up trouble. She seemed to want to make things worse."
If their family really cared about the sewage problem, they should not have been so obsessed with it after listening to the solutions proposed by Zhao Yuehong and Zhou Liang.
"I have some vague suspicions about this matter." Tang Panxia revealed the fundamental reason behind Zhao Dinglan's quarrel: "She wants to force Zhou Liang's family to leave."
Ye Rou: "Forced to leave? Why?"
"From what I've observed these past few days, someone has been delivering things to the old house... the yard across from Zhou Liang's house, every night."
Tang Panxia gestured as she spoke, "They were all packed in large wooden boxes. When they were moving them in and out, I heard Zhao Hu repeatedly tell them to be careful and to handle them with care."
Ye Rou's fingertips moved slightly: "It must be a very precious and fragile item, but it's strange and doesn't make sense."
Unable to comprehend all this for the moment, Tang Panxia silently said, "I'll continue to keep an eye on them."
Ye Rou knew that she couldn't persuade her aunt, so she just reminded her, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."
Tang Panxia looked at Ye Rou silently, and nodded almost under her gaze.
——
The telephone wire crawls through the living room, climbs onto the sofa, avoids the bites of wolves and scratches of cats, and quietly plays its role.
Ye Rou sat cross-legged on the sofa, and stepped on the head of Aotian Wolf who was eager to jump onto the sofa with her feet in white cotton socks, preventing it from coming up.
The orange kitten's legs were too short, and it was spinning around on the ground in a hurry, meowing non-stop.
Ye Rou picked up the kitten.
"Meow——" The kitten softened into a pool of liquid in Ye Rou's hands, and its meow was particularly sweet.
Aotian looked on with envy and opened his mouth to howl, but Ye Rou grabbed his hand and muted the microphone manually.
But Jiang Chen on the other end of the phone had already heard it.
"Be good, I told you not to let Aotian and Fugui into the small building."
Jiang Chen's voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard.
Ye Rou pinched the wolf's mouth, moved the kitten further away, and pretended to be stupid into the phone: "I didn't."
"Wife."
The man's gentle whisper was like the whispers between lovers. Through the receiver, his mellow and hoarse voice was gentle, like the gentle plucking of a guitar string.
Ye Rou liked Jiang Chen's voice, and she liked it even more when she saw him helplessly indulging him.
Normally, at this time, she could throw herself into Jiang Chen's arms, act coquettishly and let him do whatever he wanted.
But now... the cold phone in her arms reminded her of the distance between her and Jiang Chen.
Ye Rou murmured into the microphone: "Jiang Chen" The faint call was filled with melancholy and longing.
She was thinking about him.
The handsome and sinister tall man in the phone booth, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, his voice hoarse and sexy: "Be good, I will be back as soon as possible."
"I know."
Ye Rou smiled brilliantly, her dimples rippling, and she was extremely beautiful and graceful, but it was a pity that no one could see her charm.
She explained the itinerary for tomorrow.
Hearing that she was going to attend the museum's opening ceremony, Jiang Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Will there be a lot of people?"
Ye Rou didn't want him to worry about her outside, so she immediately said:
"Director Gu gave me ten tickets. Only my aunt, grandpa, master, grandma Song, and grandpa Zhou are going."
"Of the remaining tickets, one was given to Principal Ji, and the other two were given to Wang Honghong and Zhou Liang. They are all people I know well, so nothing will happen tomorrow."
The haze in Jiang Chen's eyes had not yet dissipated.
He was still worried, but he didn't want to spoil Ye Rou's mood, so he lowered his eyes and reminded her: "But if there are too many people, don't go in and squeeze in."
Ye Rou nodded subconsciously, then thought about how Jiang Chen couldn't see her and said, "Hmm," "I know."
…
Outside the phone booth, a group of people were waiting with their suitcases, looking a little impatient.
But they were afraid of Jiang Chen's height and terrifying aura, and no one dared to urge him.
Minister Li, out of respect for Professor Wang, glanced at his watch and suppressed his anger: "Professor Wang, can you tell your student to make a phone call quickly?"
Wang Guoping shook his head: "Minister Li, I told you to go first and not wait for him. Now look..."
He spread his hands and said, "I don't dare to rush it. Just wait, it will be soon."
Minister Li choked.
It was indeed he who was the one waiting, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chen, a grown man, would be so slow to make a phone call.
He returned empty-handed.
Zheng Xia hid in the shade, her legs sore from standing, and glanced at the man in the phone booth.
He only has a side profile, a high nose bridge, sinister eyebrows and eyes. He is indeed very handsome. No wonder Dan Ning fell in love with him at first sight.
Zheng Xia looked at Dan Ning, who was staring gloomily at the phone booth and was unusually silent, and leaned over to him: "What's wrong with you? Are you jealous?"
Shan Ning's expression froze, and when he spoke again, his voice was hoarse from the heat, and he said angrily, "I don't want to like him anymore, and you are not allowed to mention him to me in the future!"
Big sister, who are you?
Do they know you? You are not allowed to come here.
Zheng Xia suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and coaxed her gently, "Miss Shan, why?"
"I kindly reminded him that the train was about to leave, and he, he..." Shan Ning became increasingly saddened as he spoke, his voice choking with sobs: "He actually glared at me!"
“…” If you didn’t know, you would think she was stabbed.
Zheng Xia suppressed the urge to complain: "Miss, this is not the way to pursue someone. He doesn't even know you and can't see your shining inner self, so how can he like you?"
Shan Ning was rekindled: "Zheng Xia, can you give me some advice?"
Seeing the fish taking the bait, Zheng Xia curled her lips and said, "It's like boiling a frog in warm water. Believe me, as long as you care enough and seduce Shou Bai, no man can refuse."
Tannin's eyes lit up slightly.
Zheng Xia gave Minister Li a subtle look.
Minister Li curled his lips in a smile, his lustful heart stirring.
