Chapter 157 Encounter

Du Ruo said firmly: "I know someone who is very good at porcelain restoration. I took a look at the things in the pit yesterday. If I'm lucky, it's a treasure trove."

"Didn't anyone report this to the experts above?"

"According to the villagers, they reported it and conducted a field investigation, but it was too difficult and required too much manpower and material resources, so they finally decided to give up."

"Since you've given up, you can do whatever you want to me. You've killed two birds with one stone."

Yuan Tingchuan pondered for a moment and said, "Leave the matter of Xingwang Village to me. I'll make a phone call. There's no bidding involved there now. Just say you want to invest in building a factory and take the land first."

The city government's bidding meeting was held as scheduled. As expected, Shengshi Group lost the bid, and Chen Yuan ran over to find Du Ruo.

"Mr. Du, I just can't understand why you set the reserve price so low given our funds? Isn't this just giving away the meat that is right in front of us?"

What he didn't say clearly was that Chen Yuan couldn't understand why Du Ruo gave the things to Han Ming. The two families were old rivals, and the grievances between Han Ming and Du Ruo were countless. President Du would never be soft-hearted towards Han Ming no matter what, which made Chen Yuan puzzled.

"You will understand this matter within a month. I can't say more now. I can only tell you that a blessing in disguise may come from a loss."

This means that there is something fishy going on here, but Mr. Du is not willing to say it out loud. Thinking about the recent return of Mr. Yuan Tingchuan, Chen Yuan has some guesses. Could it be that Mr. Yuan has some gossip? Since Mr. Du is unwilling to say it, let's wait and see.

"Boss Du, hasn't Lao Fan come back recently? I want to talk to him about the security issues at Shengshi Garden, but he won't answer my calls after several attempts."

"Soon, Fan Jun will be back in the next two days. You can have a face-to-face meeting with him then."

The big shot whom Fan Jun saved back then had his old lady celebrate her birthday some time ago, so Fan Jun went to Beijing and hasn't returned since.

The owners of the first phase of Shengshi Garden have moved in one after another. The security guards are naturally all from Shengshi Security. As the wealth is not wasted on outsiders, it is naturally their own business.

When Chen Yuan left, he said to Du Ruo, "Don't forget to come to my house for dinner. Bring Mr. Yuan and the two children. Your sister-in-law will make dumplings for you."

After seeing Chen Yuan off, Du Ruo was thinking that she had to find time to go to Wanxian, because the master of porcelain restoration she knew lived there.

But she couldn't leave because of the recent affairs in Xingwang Village, so she had to take over the land first.

Since I'm going to Mrs. Chen's house for dinner, I can't go empty-handed. Moreover, it's the first time they've moved into a new home and they've invited me to warm up their home, so I have to give them something.

In the afternoon, Du Ruo drove to the newly renovated China World Trade Center Building to buy a gift.

She picked out a skirt in the children's clothing section of the International Trade Building and planned to take it to Chen's house for Lingling to wear. Since they were moving into a new home, Du Ruo wanted to give them some decorations. She was about to go upstairs with the skirt in her hand when she heard someone calling her from behind.

"Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, Du Ruo, I'm calling you." The man came up and grabbed Du Ruo's sleeve, with impatience in his tone.

Du Ruo rolled up her sleeves and turned around to see that it was her former sister-in-law Liu Mei.

It's been a long time since I last saw her. The last time I saw Liu Mei was when she was making a big fuss at the door of her house. Her former sister-in-law has changed a lot.

He wore a fashionable small-shoulder-pad suit on the upper body, which made his already sturdy body look even broader and more stocky. He wore tight-fitting trousers on the lower body, which were tied tightly. His face was covered with a thick layer of powder, which seemed to be able to fall off. Although he had changed a lot, the style was still so familiar.

Liu Mei pulled Du Ruo and said, "Let's find a place to chat?" Her eyes were full of desire.

Du Ruo said coldly: "I have nothing to say to the Han family."

Liu Mei said something shocking: "I am not a member of the Han family? Han Yan and I have been divorced for a long time?"

Du Ruo was a little interested. Divorced? This is quite strange. How about sitting down?

The two of them went to the cafe on the top floor of the International Trade Building, and Du Ruo ordered two cups of coffee.

Liu Mei pretended to take a sip. She held back for a while before swallowing it down like Chinese medicine. She leaned forward and whispered to Du Ruo, "What's so good about this bitter medicine soup? I don't understand. When we went to Hong Kong, my family drank this stuff all day long. For a while, Han Yan didn't even allow us to drink water. He told us to get used to this stuff. I really couldn't get used to it. I almost went crazy from drinking it."

Du Ruo almost spit out a mouthful of coffee. No water? Only drink this stuff? Are you looking for death?

Liu Mei sighed and said with emotion: "Sister-in-law, I used to dislike you, but actually we don't have any deep hatred. You are really a good person, much better than that bastard Han Yan. There is no good person in the Han family. We are unlucky."

Du Ruo went straight to the point: "Why did you get divorced?"

"It's another Chen Shimei. When we first came back, we lived well at my mother's house. Han Yan was also very honest and behaved like a turtle grandson. Even when those two old guys came to the house, he only dared to meet them secretly. I lived a good life.

Since Han Ming came back last year, he has changed. I don't know where Han Ming got his fortune. It must have been given by his rich father-in-law. He opened a company and got Han Luo out of it. The three brothers got rich together. I thought it was okay at the time. Who wouldn't be happy with money? But I never expected this."

Liu Mei gritted her teeth and slammed the table twice, attracting the attention of the guests next door. She coughed awkwardly and said in a low voice, "This Han Yan brought back a little devil and insisted on divorcing me. I was almost pissed to death."

"He asked for a divorce and you agreed?" This is not Liu Mei's character.

"They got away with it? Do they really think I'm dead? I didn't want to do it at the time. I beat the little devil so hard that his eyes were black and blue, and I beat Han Yan severely. The old woman didn't want to do it anymore and started beating me. I didn't care and went straight to the police. I was beaten to death, and they didn't care? I want to call the police."

"What happened next?" This farce is quite interesting.

"Later, it was your Han Ming who told me that if I agreed to a divorce, he would give me 500,000 yuan, and I would not have to take care of the child in the future. I could still live in the house, and I would get extra money if I stayed at home to take care of the child. I thought it was okay. Only when I got something was it my own, and I would have more confidence with the money. Don't you agree?"
