Chapter 158 Life
After listening to her, Du Ruo said coldly, "It's not our Han Ming. I have nothing to do with him anymore."
Liu Mei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, you are divorced."
Du Ruo's eyes flashed, and she said to Liu Mei, "So even though you're divorced, you're still living in Han's house?"
"Yes, I want to take care of my son."
She glanced at Du Ruo and whispered, "I'm not like you. I'm not that capable and I run such a big company. I'm not afraid of anything. I'm trying to save as much as I can now. This money is my last money. I still have to live in the future."
“Then buy a house.”
Liu Mei's eyes widened: "Buy a house? Why buy a house? I live in Han's house, there are places that don't cost money, why should I buy a house?"
Du Ruo sighed and explained, "Now you think 500,000 is a lot, but it will be worth nothing if it depreciates in the future. If you use this money to buy houses, you can buy at least three or five houses at the current price. Whether you rent them out or exchange them for cash in the future, it will be more valuable than this little money."
Liu Mei was convinced of Du Ruo's ability. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Can I ask you for a favor? I heard that your Shengshi Garden is on pre-sale. Can you reserve a few houses for me? I don't want anyone else to know. Don't worry, I can't let your help be in vain." She blinked twice as she spoke.
Du Ruo understood what she meant. It meant that she would inform him if there was any gossip about the Han family in the future. Du Ruo didn't care about this, but buying a house was a piece of cake, so it was okay to help.
When they got home, Yuan Tingchuan handed the land documents to Du Ruo and said with a smile, "Is this the nth time I have given a betrothal gift?"
He had a reason for asking this. When he came back from H City, Yuan Tingchuan gave him a big gift, seven or eight big boxes of gold, jade, jewelry and antiques. Du Ruo asked him where he got them. He said he picked them up. He said it was a gift to Du Ruo, and he was waiting for his wife to agree to marry him.
As a result, Du Ruo said: "Since it was picked up, I will accept the gift with a smile. Please continue to work hard, Mr. Yuan. Things are picked up, and your wife can't let you take them home for nothing, right?"
Yuan Tingchuan knew that these were all excuses. The main reason was that Du Ruo didn't want to get married. She felt that the current situation was good enough and there would be less trouble.
Du Ruo glanced at the contract that Yuan Tingchuan handed over, ignored his words, put the things aside, and said, "Why did I hear that Qu Xin was here?"
"I don't know. I haven't paid attention to her recently, and no one has mentioned her to me."
Of course, everyone knows that Yuan Tingchuan dislikes the Qu family. Who would be so tactless as to bring it up in front of him?
The next day, Du Ruo brought the contract to the company and handed it to Chen Yuan, saying, "I'll give you the contract. I won't be responsible for the rest of the formalities. There is only one thing: you can't be too forceful in the relocation, and you have to be true to your conscience."
Chen Yuan said seriously, "Boss Du, I was born in a poor family. When I was young, I served in the army for two years. Because my legs were injured, I suffered a lot during those years. I know how it feels. I will not go against my conscience just to make money. Don't worry."
Du Ruo knew Chen Yuan's character, she was just giving him a few words of advice in vain. The flowers were so beautiful that they were dazzling. In this glamorous world, once one's nature was altered, it would only take a thought to change it.
Du Ruo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Chen family, staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze.
Although Mrs. Chen was not willing to live in a big villa, the house chosen by Chen Yuan was also good. Not only did the floor have excellent lighting and a wide view, but the large floor-to-ceiling windows faced the lake island not far away and could see the villa area opposite in the distance.
"Sister, I went to the suburbs with some friends yesterday to pick wild vegetables. I picked up a whole basket and brought it back to make dumplings for you." Mrs. Chen said, quietly pointing to the other side of the sofa and whispered, "Mr. Yuan has seen everything. I thought about it for many days before I came up with this idea. I guarantee that Mr. Yuan will be satisfied."
Du Ruo smiled and teased her, "We are a team. It doesn't matter whether he is satisfied or not."
Sister Chen looked disapproving and said, "Of course I know we are in the same group. I am also your sister-in-law. Aunts are all guests. Haven't you heard the saying that when an aunt comes to your house, the chickens will die. Who doesn't give a grand reception? I am just trying to give you face."
These few words made Du Ruo laugh.
Chen Yuan and Yuan Tingchuan were sitting on the sofa chatting, or rather, Chen Yuan was asking Yuan Tingchuan for advice. This opportunity was rare, and it was no exaggeration to say that Yuan Tingchuan's time was precious. Normally, it would be impossible for someone to discuss economics with him because they didn't have the time.
Chen Yuan finally got this opportunity today, and he almost wrote a booklet. Du Ruo looked at him with amusement. She stood in front of the French window and said, "Brother Chen, you are almost doing an exclusive interview with a reporter."
Chen Yuan smiled embarrassedly.
"I am doing this for the development of our company. One word from you is worth ten years of study. It's rare that Mr. Yuan is willing to talk to me, so I want to learn more."
"Since you want to learn so much, you are always welcome to my home."
"Hey, Mr. Du, you two are so busy, and you finally have time to sit together for a while. How can I be so tactless to your brother Chen?"
Yuan Tingchuan couldn't help but smile while holding his teacup. Chen Yuanchun offered him a cigarette, but Yuan Tingchuan waved his hand to refuse.
"I don't smoke much these days, except in special occasions, and I'm trying to quit smoking."
"What's the point of quitting smoking? What's the point of a grown man not smoking or drinking?"
"Boss Du of yours wouldn't let me. I worked really hard to get married."
There was a burst of laughter in the room, and Mrs. Chen patted Du Ruo on the shoulder.
"Don't be so aggressive. It's no good for a woman to be too aggressive. Just let him take some of the smack."
"Sister-in-law, he is addicted to smoking. It is not a good thing. It is not good for the body. You should also persuade Brother Chen to smoke less."
"Hey, I've heard what you said before. People say that people who smoke a lot have black lungs and are more likely to get cancer. If that's the case, I really can't let your brother Chen smoke anymore. We've finally had a few good years, and we all want a stable life, right?"
Mrs. Chen has always been a very simple and pragmatic person. Although Chen Yuan is now a big boss, Mrs. Chen still lives the same life as before. She never buys brand-name products, plays cards, or does beauty treatments with others. She just lives on the daily necessities of life. She has a rosy face and a simple smile, and you can tell at a glance that she lives a very comfortable life.
This is also due to Chen Yuan, who is a very upright and traditional family man.
