Chapter 221 Humble as Mud
In Yunhai Huafu, Uncle Yang, who still gets paid every month but has not worked for three years, received a call.
The car drove out of the garage quickly and stopped outside the Huo family's old house.
When Huo Sili got in the car and heard the other party ask where they were going, Uncle Yang was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask much.
Drive quietly to your destination.
Since Jiang Qin passed away three years ago, this old man, who was not very talkative to begin with, has become even more silent.
The car stopped at the gate of a residential area, and Uncle Yang was just about to remind Huo Sili, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, that he had arrived.
The man opened his eyes, glanced outside, pushed the door and got out of the car.
Silence filled the entire car. Uncle Yang looked at Huo Sili who got off the car and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Silently drove the car to the nearest parking lot and waited for orders.
The security guard of the community didn't recognize the man, but seeing that he was well-dressed, seemed to be quite wealthy, tall and handsome, he was about to say "Non-owners are not allowed to enter. Are you the owner?" but after a moment's hesitation, he swallowed the words back.
A few minutes later, the security guard said that it was fortunate that he had some ability to judge people, otherwise he would have lost his job.
The man was tall and straight, standing by the flower bed at the door, making a phone call.
Less than two minutes after the call, the property manager who was having lunch hurried over here, wiping his mouth with a tissue.
The security guard also received a call from the manager, "That's Mr. Huo, a friend of our big boss! You didn't say anything unpleasant to him, did you? If you did, apologize now!"
The security guard didn't dare to say anything and was glad that he didn't say anything. He quickly said no. A few seconds after the phone was hung up, the property manager with a beer belly came running over breathlessly.
He was a little nervous when he saw people, but the smile on his face was quite festive.
"Mr. Huo... Mr. Huo! What brings you here? Please come in, please come in!"
"Have you had lunch? If not, what would you like to eat? Tell me and I'll arrange it for you!"
Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan naturally didn't know that the developer behind the community where the new house they bought was located, and the ultimate boss behind the group was Wen Chen, one of Huo Sili's good brothers.
The Wen family and the Huo family are old friends, and their ancestors have been good friends for generations. Wen Chen and Huo Sili have always had a good relationship.
Hence the so-called 24-hour artificial and intelligent all-round security.
For Horsley, it didn't exist.
No one dared to let it exist.
What puzzled the property manager was that Horsley said he had not eaten lunch, but he was only asked to point out the way to a certain building.
Then he said, "Go back and have dinner."
The property manager was a little nervous. Although he was considered the boss here, he knew that he was just a little Karami in front of people like Horsley.
The manager had never served such a high-ranking figure before, so he quickly asked humbly: "Boss Huo, did I do something to upset you? Tell me and I'll change it."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Oh, I see. You need a special box, right? It's okay, Mr. Huo. I'll treat you to a meal. Our boss has told us to treat you well."
Horsley stretched out his hand and pinched his brow, then glanced at the man's double-chinned face.
"No need, I appreciate your kindness."
After saying that, he quickened his pace and walked quickly towards the elevator.
The manager had a complicated expression, but after hesitating for a while he didn't dare to follow.
However, the next second, Huo Sili came back again.
The manager's eyes widened, and he quickly put on a smile, "Boss Huo, do you have any other instructions?"
“Can you drive?”
The manager smiled: “Of course!”
Huo Sili looked indifferent: "Yes, no?"
The manager was startled, then he quickly stopped flattering and said seriously, "Yes, Mr. Huo, I'll take you wherever you want to go."
Huo Sili: "Is there a large supermarket nearby? It would be best if it can be reached in ten minutes."
At the same time, on the twelfth floor, Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan’s new home.
The entire table was filled with plates and pots of steaming dishes, and the aroma of the food filled the entire restaurant.
"Smells good! Mommy, mommy, it smells so good!"
Tiantian, who was placed in an exclusive seat, looked at the dishes on the table, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter with joy.
Jiang Qin looked at her daughter with a smile, "What are you going to say?"
Tiantian quickly got the idea, and Zhou Junxuan finally brought over a dish of braised food. Tiantian looked at Zhou Junxuan.
He praised me generously: "Uncle, you are awesome! Great chef!"
Zhou Junxuan and Su Lejia, who was sitting on the other side of Jiang Qin, were both amused.
"Thank you, sweetie."
After putting the last dish away, Zhou Junxuan took off his apron, washed his hands, and sat down in the empty seat next to Su Lejia.
Su Lejia picked up her chopsticks and put some of Zhou Junxuan's favorite spicy beef into his bowl.
"Okay, let's eat, let's eat."
"Okay~" Tiantian responded.
Everyone at the table started eating.
After eating for a while, everyone started chatting slowly.
Children still need adults to pay more attention when they eat. Jiang Qin was concerned about her daughter's meal, so she didn't get involved much.
It was not until suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring at the door, that my attention was distracted a little.
"Who is it? I heard someone ringing the doorbell." Jiang Qin looked at her best friend sitting next to her.
Su Lejia also heard it, but she was chatting just now and thought she had misheard.
Hearing Jiang Qin say this, she knew she had not heard wrongly, and looked at her future husband next to her.
"Did you call anyone else over?"
Anyway, Su Lejia remembered that she didn't invite anyone today. Some relatives and friends really wanted to come, but most of her relatives and friends were not in Kyoto, but in various places in the country, mostly in the south. Plus, it's the end of the year now, so most of them are busy.
So she didn't say that anyone had to come, and she just waited for everyone to have time after the holiday to get together later.
Zhou Junxuan was a little confused by the question and looked quite puzzled.
But he quickly said, "I'll go take a look."
Su Lejia nodded, "Okay, maybe we took the wrong path."
After all, this is a new community. Many people may have moved into new houses and invited friends, family, and even classmates they haven't seen for many years to come over to celebrate and visit. It is not uncommon to ring the wrong doorbell.
Who would have thought that when I saw the visual door bell, it was really a strange thing.
"Mr. Xie?"
Zhou Junxuan was stunned and confused.
But soon, the memory came back.
I remember that he did mention it to Xie Youan before, but at that time the house had just been bought and was still being renovated.
As for what happened later, he probably didn't mention it to Xie Youan. After that, he mentioned it to a colleague from the same department who was also renovating his house and sighed that renovation was not an easy task.
Unexpectedly, Xie Youan came.
Moreover, he had a lot of bags in his hands.
"It seems that I am late."
"It's not too late, we just started eating." This made Zhou Junxuan feel a little embarrassed.
Hearing the voice, Su Lejia came over and saw that it was Xie Youan. She was stunned at first, and then her expression softened.
She had a good impression of her future husband's boss. After all, the two men were good brothers in high school, and Xie Youan and her Qinqin were also high school classmates, so they were relatively familiar with each other.
"Long time no see, Mr. Xie."
Xie Youan smiled politely at Su Lejia: "Long time no see, Miss Su."
The smile was still on his face, but his eyes had already shifted to the restaurant full of people.
Su Lejia glanced at Xie Youan, then looked at the restaurant, but didn't think much about it.
"Wait a moment, you haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll get you chopsticks and a bowl. Zhou Zhou, take Mr. Xie to wash his hands."
The gifts were placed at the entrance. Xie Youan washed their hands with Zhou Junxuan. The table was a little crowded and more seats were added.
Tiantian looked at the uncle who suddenly came in, then glanced at her mommy, and continued to eat her meal slowly.
Compared to her daughter's reaction, Jiang Qin was a little more enthusiastic, but perhaps because she had experienced too much three years ago, and she hadn't seen the other party for three whole years, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
So I just politely said, "Long time no see." I smiled and nodded.
Xie Youan's eyes fell on the little baby sitting next to Jiang Qin, his pupils dilated slightly, and he was about to ask.
Jiang Qin had continued to eat lunch and paid attention to her daughter eating beside her.
He didn't even notice Xie Youan's gaze.
However, Song Xinye, who was sitting on the other side of Tiantian, noticed it and cast a glance at Xie Youan.
Looking at Su Lejia who had sat down again, "Miss Su, who is this?"
"Oh, this..." Su Lejia glanced at Xie Youan, and introduced to Song Xinye with a polite smile: "This is my Zhou Zhou's boss and a good brother and classmate in high school. He is also Qinqin's high school classmate and good friend."
Song Xinye nodded, "That's it."
After looking at Xie Youan again, Song Xinye said nothing more.
Su Lejia nodded and continued eating.
Xie Youan suddenly said: "This child is..."
Song Xinye raised his eyebrows and was about to answer, but before Xie Youan could finish his words, the doorbell rang again.
Su Lejia, who had just picked up a piece of cola chicken wing and was about to eat it: "..."
He looked at Zhou Junxuan, raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes wide, and was puzzled.
Zhou Junxuan was also puzzled, but he quickly stood up and went over again, "I'll go take a look."
Su Lejia continued to eat chicken wings. Jiang Qin, who was eating, suddenly had a strange feeling for some reason.
While I was analyzing whether it was caused by physical discomfort or a simple psychological problem, suddenly, a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice came into my ears.
"Ms. Su, Mr. Zhou, I'm here to visit you. Please... open the door."
But the voice sounded quite familiar, but the tone was clearly humble as mud.
