Chapter 66 News from the Old Zhou Family

Suddenly a voice sounded behind her, "Xiao Nuan?"

Zhou Nuan turned around and saw Mrs. Chen's surprised face. Behind her was the driver who had taken them to the train station that night.

Suddenly, he was also surprised and walked quickly to Sister Chen, "Sister Chen, when did you come to Haicheng?"

"I just came here to do some things these two days." Mrs. Chen smiled and pinched Xiaoxi's fair and tender face, "The little guy has grown up a little. Hey, Xiaonuan, do you know that a lot of things happened in your family after you left?"

"Oh? What happened?" Zhou Nuan pretended not to know.

"I heard that your brother's father-in-law's family wanted a high price for the bride price, and your family couldn't afford it, so they really sued your brother for rape. Your mom and dad were so angry that they became sick. It seems that they also tried to find you in a big way, and they didn't give up until I left. And your sister disappeared, as if she disappeared, but your parents never looked for her. It's really strange."

Zhou Nuan curled the corners of her mouth: She didn’t expect to hear about the follow-up of the Zhou family. But it was not surprising at all. Zhou Bing was sold, so how could he go to find her?

She was really curious about how much money the Huang family wanted. Even the money from selling Zhou Bing couldn't satisfy their appetite.

Mrs. Chen sighed again, "Fortunately, Xiao Nuan, you left immediately, otherwise you might have a lot of troubles. By the way, did you find Xiao Gu? I remember he is doing well in Haicheng now."

Zhou Nuan's smile faded a little: "I did find it, but..."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Chen blurted out: "What's wrong? What happened?"

She looked concerned and didn't seem to be pretending. Zhou Nuan couldn't help but step forward and hold her hand, "Sister-in-law, can I ask you for a favor?"

At this time, Xizhou Garment Factory.

Ji Huayan secretly hid in the corner of the factory gate, constantly looking at the people passing by.

It was all because of that nosy driver who stopped her from seeing Gu Xiyue, otherwise why would she be so sneaky!

She waited patiently.

Hard work pays off. Finally, when she could no longer wait, a tall figure appeared before her.

Ji Huayan was so surprised that he rushed out, "Wait, Gu Xiyue, Brother Xiyue!"

The figure that suddenly rushed out made Gu Xiyue stop. After seeing her face clearly, a trace of impatience flashed in his phoenix eyes, "Miss Ji?"

"Brother Xiyue, I finally got to see you!" Ji Huayan pouted aggrievedly, "Your driver is really too much. He took the initiative to not let me see you."

"..What's wrong with you?"

"Yes, I heard that you had some troubles in the factory recently. My father has a good relationship with Agent Fan. If you need me, I can ask my father to help intercede." She said hurriedly, her eyes full of sincerity, as if she was afraid that he would refuse her help.

Tian Yanjing, who was standing by, was delighted when he heard this and tried to pull him, but Gu Xiyue ignored him.

Gu Xiyue couldn't tell his emotions, "Why did Miss Ji help me?"

"Well?"

"I have only met Miss Ji once. Why is Miss Ji so enthusiastic about my affairs?" He asked again, "Could it be that she is just too enthusiastic?"

"..." Ji Huayan wanted to say that it was because I like you, I am willing to help you, but in front of Tian Yanjing, she was not so thick-skinned, so she just blushed and said, "Anyway, anyway, I am willing to help you, do you need it?"

At the end of the words, the ending tone rose with a hint of coquettishness, and Gu Xiyue frowned.

"Don't bother Miss Ji. I have my own way."

He walked towards the factory without hesitation. Tian Yanjing opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He could only sigh helplessly, nodded to Ji Huayan, and chased after Gu Xiyue, "Old Gu, wait a minute..."

Ji Huayan couldn't believe that he really left like this, her face was full of disbelief, and after reacting, she was very unwilling: She didn't believe it! Without the help of her Ji family, this matter can be solved, sooner or later he will come to her for help!

There is no man in this world that Ji Huayan cannot get!

Even if he is someone else's husband, so what? She will snatch him away sooner or later!

With a cold snort, she turned and left.

She was waiting for Gu Xiyue to come back and beg her!

“Old Gu, Old Gu!” Tian Yanjing caught up with Gu Xiyue, panting. Gu Xiyue was tall and had long legs, and one step was equivalent to two steps of Gu Xiyue. It was very strenuous for him to catch up with him. He finally caught up with him and had no time to catch his breath. “Old Gu, why are you leaving? Didn’t you hear what Miss Ji said?”

"What?" Gu Xiyue's expression remained unchanged.

"She said she could help intercede!"

"I don't know what Miss Ji wants to do, but I know there is no free lunch in the world."

He had only met Ji Huayan once, but she had come to him again and again, and this time she said she could help for free. He never believed that there were such selfless and helpful people in the world. She just wanted to achieve some purpose through this.

Tian Yanjing was at the factory every day, so he naturally knew about Ji Huayan's affairs. To be honest, he couldn't figure out what this girl was trying to do, and always felt that she had some ulterior motives.

The truth is this, "But..."

"What if the Ji family really wants to help because of our past cooperation?"

Gu Xiyue pulled the corner of his mouth, "Others may have this possibility, but Jin Ji Shan, this person will not go without profit, and will never get involved in things that are not profitable. Do you think he is possible?"

“…”

————

It was almost dawn when Gu Xiyue came back. Zhou Nuan hadn't slept and had been waiting for him.

Seeing the slender figure sitting in the darkness, he asked, "Are you still awake? Why don't you turn on the light?"

He turned on the light with a click. The sudden blinding light made Zhou Nuan squint her eyes. After her eyes adjusted, she looked at the man in front of her.

The man was still wearing the same clothes he had worn two days ago. He looked like he hadn’t slept much in two days and his fatigue was unconcealable. The new stubble made his cold jaw look even sharper.

She had never seen him like this before. He had always been self-disciplined and never relaxed his demands on himself even after leaving the army.

Perhaps it was because her eyes were too strange, Gu Xiyue couldn't help but touch his chin, "I was busy these two days and forgot about it."

Zhou Nuan asked, "Is it about Old Man Fan?"

Gu Xiyue pursed his lips, his eyes cold.

In the past two days, he has been trying to find a way to meet with old man Fan's superior, but was rejected by the other party with a sentence "Everything is subject to Agent Fan's decision". Today, old man Fan suddenly sent someone to say that he wanted to meet tomorrow to talk. This batch of goods is a large order, if it were not for the workers' wages, he would never agree to the meeting.

"It's okay, it should be resolved tomorrow."

He comforted her, not wanting to say more, patted her head and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

He refused to say more to her, but Zhou Nuan still saw a resolute look in his eyes. A man of justice and principle like Gu Xiyue would never give in. He was probably thinking that at worst he could start over.

However, why should she let that disgusting old man destroy the business he had worked so hard to build? She would not allow it!
