Yuan Tingchuan didn't even look at Du Ruo. His long, thin fingers were folded on the desk, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his face was as white as snow, and his whole body exuded coldness.
"If you haven't finished your homework, then you haven't finished it. No need to make excuses. I only look at the results. I'll double the penalty. Go do your homework."
The two children's faces were almost crying. They held their hands tightly, wanting to refute but not daring to. They looked at their mother pitifully.
"Doing double the penalty means we have to work until midnight? How about just making up for it 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 spread her hands to the children, indicating that she was powerless and she was also afraid of Mr. Yuan.
The two children looked depressed, 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, holding the man's face with her fair hands and rubbing it.
"What are you doing? You're so scary as soon as you come back. You haven't been home for over a week? Don't come back if you keep doing this."
Yuan Tingchuan held her in his arms and gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips. The frost on her face faded and her eyes were full of smiles.
"I'm not coming back? You don't miss me? Huh?"
I lower my head and kiss the red lips of longing, letting the longing surge. One day without seeing you feels like three years. Seven days without seeing you is already overwhelming with longing.
At dinner time in the evening, the two children were a little in a bad mood. No matter how Aunt Yu called them, they were throwing tantrums and refused to eat. They just said that 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'll be gone in two days, then we can play secretly."
Han Zhe was happy: "Really? Uncle Yuan is really going to leave in two days?" After saying that, he lowered his head again and whispered: "As long as Uncle Yuan doesn't scold me, I actually like him very much. I didn't even have time to tell him that I got another little red flower two days ago. I miss him very much."
This is the truth. Over the past year, the relationship between Yuan Tingchuan and Han Zhe has made great progress. Sometimes he also looks like a kind father. Boys are born to admire the strong. When facing someone with a strong aura like Yuan Tingchuan, they actually feel 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, "A few days ago, I heard from Uncle Lingyun that they are going to the Jade Public 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. If he does, we won't be able to eat if he has a sullen face."
Thinking of Yuan Tingchuan's cold face just now, Han Zhe stretched out his little hand and touched his belly. He felt that he could endure it for a while longer.
Yu Min was circling anxiously at the door of the children's room. She couldn't eat in peace if the children didn't eat, for she was afraid that the children would be 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 later and eat tomorrow morning."
Du Ruo couldn't help but push him. What's wrong with this man? Wouldn't such a small child be starving after being hungry all night?
Yuan Tingchuan rolled his eyes. Women are soft-hearted and naughty children should not be spoiled.
"What were you doing today? I called you yesterday to tell you that I would be back today, but why are you coming home so late?" The man's voice was full of complaints.
"I'm just waiting for you at home, what are you doing? Mr. Yuan, your face is full of resentment, almost 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, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and took a sip of water before saying, "You know that big project in our city? It's the newly built commercial 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 conduct an on-site inspection this afternoon, I met Han Ming and the Qu family father and son."
"The Qu Group is just an empty shell now. 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 are some special circumstances here."
Yuan Tingchuan gave her a cold look and said, "Why are you talking so mysteriously in your own home?"
Du Ruo sat back down embarrassedly. She said, "When I went to that village this afternoon, I heard an old man telling me the origin of this village. It was a very old story. After listening to it, I had a bad feeling. It seemed that there was a big tomb near this village."
Yuan Tingchuan has known Du Ruo for so many years. Since she said that, it is almost certain that this is true.
"Those experts have done a lot of research, haven't they? Didn't they find anything?"
Du Ruo said, "It happened a long time ago. From what Old Man Zhao said, not many people know about it now. Besides, how can we take this kind of thing seriously if it's just hearsay?"
"That's going to be fun. Do you still want to compete with the Qu Group?"
Du Ruo was speechless. She wasn't stupid. Was she really throwing real money into the water? But this couldn't be done that way.
"We have to compete. I can't let them discover my true intention. The land I really want to take is the Xingwang Village next door."
"Is there something wrong with that village?"
"I've already inquired about it. The city's first planning proposal was based on that plan. If this plan doesn't work out, they'll definitely have to re-use the first one. Then..."
Yuan Tingchuan understood that if Du Ruo gave up now, it would arouse the vigilance of Qu Group and Han Ming, and it 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's a precious piece of land in Xingwang Village. It's said to be filled with junk, mostly ceramic pieces. I saw two treasures today. If I take over the land in Xingwang Village, that big pit will be mine. I'm confident I can restore a small mountain of porcelain."
Yuan Tingchuan was surprised when he heard this: "Are you sure?"
