Chapter 156 Homework

Yuan Tingchuan didn't even look at Du Ruo. His slender fingers were folded on the desk, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his face was as white as snow, and he exuded coldness.

"If you don't finish your homework, it's not done. Don't make any excuses. I only look at the results. I'll double the penalty. Go do your homework."

The two children’s faces looked like they were about to cry. They held their hands tightly, wanting to retort but not daring to. They looked at their mother pitifully.

"If the penalty is doubled, I have to work until midnight? Why not just finish the homework this time?"

"I said double the penalty, and then I said double it again."

The mother and her two children looked at each other. Du Ruo waved her hands to the children, indicating that she was powerless and that she was also afraid of Mr. Yuan.

The two children, with dejected faces, walked out hand in hand and went back to their room to do their homework together.

After the children left, Du Ruo threw herself into Yuan Tingchuan's arms with a smile, held the man's face with her white hands and rubbed it.

"What are you doing? You're scary as soon as you come back. You haven't been home for more than a week? Don't come back if you're like this again."

Yuan Tingchuan held her in his arms and gently stroked her cheeks with his fingertips. The frost on her face faded away and her eyes were full of smiles.

"I'm not coming back? You don't miss me? Huh?"

I bow my head and kiss the red lips of my longing, letting my longing surge. One day without seeing you feels like three years. Seven days without seeing you is already a flood of longing.

At dinner time, the two children were a little naughty. No matter how their aunt called them, they were stubborn and refused to eat. They just said they had to catch up on their homework and had no time to eat.

Yuan Shurui said to Han Zhe with a stern face, "Don't be afraid, Xiaozhe. I will help you write after I finish this. We will definitely be able to finish it."

Han Zhe pouted: "I didn't know Uncle Yuan would be back today. If I had known, I wouldn't have played that game console. I would have definitely finished writing."

"It's okay. He will be gone in two days. We can play secretly then."

Han Zhe was delighted: "Really? Uncle Yuan is really going to leave in two days?" He lowered his head again and whispered: "As long as Uncle Yuan doesn't scold me, I actually like him quite a bit. I didn't even have time to tell him that I got another little red flower two days ago. I miss him a lot."

This is the truth. Over the past year, the relationship between Yuan Tingchuan and Han Zhe has made great progress. He sometimes acts like a kind father. Boys are born to admire the strong. When facing someone with a strong aura like Yuan Tingchuan, they actually have admiration in their hearts.

But Uncle Yuan’s angry look was so scary that Han Zhe didn’t want to recall it at all.

Yuan Shurui whispered, "I heard Uncle Lingyun say a few days ago that they will go to the jade auction next month, and they will all leave after a while."

"Doesn't that mean Mom is leaving too? I want to be with Mom. I don't want her to leave."

Yuan Shurui was also very conflicted. He wanted Mr. Yuan to leave, but he also wanted Mr. Du to stay.

"Xiaozhe, are you hungry?"

"I'm a little hungry, Ruirui, are we really not going to eat?"

"Let's go later. Wait until my dad finishes his meal and leaves. Then we'll go. If he doesn't look happy by then, we won't be able to eat."

Thinking of Yuan Tingchuan's sullen face just now, Han Zhe stretched out his little hand and touched his belly. He felt that he could still endure it for a while longer.

Yu Min was anxiously circling at the door of the children's room. She couldn't eat well if the children didn't eat, for she was afraid that the children were hungry.

Yuan Tingchuan's voice came from the restaurant: "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Don't worry about them. Clean up the food and eat tomorrow morning."

Du Ruo couldn't help but push him. What's wrong with this man? Wouldn't such a young child be hungry after being hungry all night?

Yuan Tingchuan rolled his eyes. Women are soft-hearted and they can’t get used to naughty kids.

"What did you do today? I called you yesterday to tell you that I would be back today, why are you coming home so late?" The man's voice was filled with complaints.

"I'm just waiting for you at home, what am I doing? Mr. Yuan, your face is full of resentment, just like a nagging woman, which doesn't match your temperament at all."

"Don't change the subject? Where have you been?"

"Speaking of this, I have something else to tell you."

Du Ruo put down his chopsticks, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth, took a sip of water and said, "Do you know the big project in our city? It's the newly built business district?"

Yuan Tingchuan nodded. He knew about this and had originally wanted to participate in the bidding. However, when he saw that Shengshi Group was interested in this project, he did not intervene.

"It is said that the Qu Group is very interested in this project. When I went to the site for an inspection this afternoon, I met Han Ming and the Qu family father and son."

"The Qu Group is now just an empty shell. You have much more capital than them. What are you afraid of?"

Du Ruo leaned forward and whispered, "I'm not afraid of them, it's just that there's something special going on here."

Yuan Tingchuan glanced at her coldly and said, "Why are you so mysterious when you talk in your own home?"

Du Ruo sat back down embarrassedly. She said, "When I went to the village this afternoon, I heard an old man telling me the origin of the village. It was a very old story. After listening to it, I had a bad feeling in my heart. It seemed that there was a big tomb near the village."

Yuan Tingchuan has known Du Ruo for so many years. Since she said so, it is most likely true.

"Those experts have done a lot of research, right? Didn't they find anything?"

Du Ruo said, "It happened a long time ago. According to what old man Zhao said, not many people know about it now. Besides, it's hearsay, how can we take it seriously?"

"That's going to be fun. Do you still want to compete with the Qu Group?"

Du Ruo was speechless. She was not stupid. Was she going to throw real money into the water? But this couldn't be done this way.

"We have to compete. I can't let them find out my real intention. The land I really want to take is the prosperous village next door."

"What's wrong with that village?"

"I've already inquired about it. The city's first planning proposal was adopted from there. If this fails, the first plan will definitely be reactivated. Then..."

Yuan Tingchuan understood that if Du Ruo gave up now, it would alert the Qu Group and Han Ming, and would not be conducive to her taking over the land of Xingwang Village. This was a typical feint to the east and attack in the west.

"There is a treasure land in Xingwang Village. It is said that it is full of garbage such as ceramic pieces. I saw two treasures today. If I take over the land of Xingwang Village, the big pit will belong to me. I am sure I can restore a small mountain of porcelain."

Yuan Tingchuan was surprised: "Are you sure?"
