Chapter 224 About Xu Xiayan

“This noodle is delicious!”

The bowl of noodles in Zhu Lechen's hand was very big. He could pick up a lot of noodles with one chopstick. It was chewy in his mouth and tasted extremely good.

Everyone else was like this, too lazy to speak.

I made a lot of noodles for the New Year, so we don't have to worry about not having enough to eat. There are many people in the family, so we have to make more of them. There is no reason to make less.

Everyone was hungry, and when they were eating the first bowl of noodles, they had no time to talk. It was only after they finished the second bowl and were not so hungry anymore that they started chatting.

Zhu Suisui also asked Zhu Lesheng.

Speaking of Zhu Lesheng, Zhu Lechen replied, "Although you went back to Sijiu City first and we came here a long time later, we haven't seen big brother much since the orchard became busy. He worked very hard."

Zhu Suisui nodded. That was almost the same as what Yao Yu and he had said.

Zhu Lesheng is not a child either, and is more stable than Zhu Lechen.

With Yao Yu by her side, she felt relieved.

But then, Zhu Lechen seemed to have thought of something and said, "There was a big fight at grandma's place before. My younger uncle even ruined my older uncle's business. They quarreled every day and it had gotten to the point where they wanted to split up the family business. But at this juncture, everything has returned to normal."

Hearing this.

Zhu Suisui was a little surprised. After all, he was the one who started the matter at that time, just to let the Xu family fight each other and have no time to attack the Zhu family.

Given my uncle's personality, how could he endure such a huge deception?

That's strange.

Something must have happened.

Zhu Suisui suddenly had an idea and thought that the Chinese New Year was approaching and the school must have been closed for the holiday.

According to the time, it’s time for Xu Xiayan to go back, right?

Think of this.

Zhu Suisui then asked, "Is it cousin Xia Yan who has gone back?"

Zhu Lechen's eyes widened instantly, and he gave his sister a thumbs up, "Suibao, you are so smart, how did you know it was related to Xu Xiayan?"

"The most promising person in my grandma's family is my cousin Xia Yan. She was admitted to university and has prestige and confidence in the Xu family. As long as she offers to mediate, my uncle will give her this face." Zhu Suisui said.

Apart from her, no one else can really take care of this matter.

Xu Xiayan could have simply pushed the blame onto her parents, while remaining innocent and blameless, and by saying a few nice words, even if Uncle Xu felt something was wrong, he wouldn't be able to explain why, and would subconsciously believe Xu Xiayan.

Besides the fact that Xu Xiayan is a college student, there is also the sunk cost paid for her. If they make trouble now, Uncle Xu's family will get nothing.

It's human nature.

Based on my understanding of Xu Xiayan, she is very concerned about her reputation and has created a perfect persona for herself, so she will not allow any criticism about her family.

But the cracks are there.

Presumably, it would be difficult for Xu Xiayan to gain any benefit from this, and what she could maintain was only superficial.

Zhu Suisui felt that Xu Xiayan should have promised to make concessions.

Zhu Lechen nodded repeatedly and said, "It's no wonder that Xu Xiayan is quite capable. On the first day after returning home, she resolved the internal conflicts in the family. On the second day, she came to our house to apologize. On the third day, she gave gifts to the village chief and discussed the orchard project."

Orchard project?

This made Zhu Suisui take it more seriously. "She is interested in this project?"

When the orchard was being built, the Xu family was in the midst of a huge quarrel, so they did not get involved.

Xu Xiayan was able to achieve success in her previous life, and she did have her own abilities.

She was able to handle everything quickly and efficiently and save face. She took the initiative to apologize to the Zhu family. Even though the Xu family was now the subject of gossip in the village and many people disliked them, no one thought it was Xu Xiayan's fault, so she was able to get herself out of it very well and still keep her eyes on the orchard, which shows that she has a certain foresight.

If he didn't know what Xu Xiayan did behind the scenes, Zhu Suisui would actually admire her very much.

Now.

All I can say is that he has the ability and is hypocritical enough. He lets the people around him bear all the bad side of him, while he himself remains pure and innocent. It is better to stay away from such people.

Otherwise, even if all her value is squeezed out, you still think she is good.

It's really scary.

Zhu Lechen nodded, "But it's too late. The orchard project is now on track, and Brother Yao is in charge. It's useless to ask the village chief. The village chief is unlikely to give up part of his share, so this matter has not been accomplished."

"And then?" Zhu Suisui asked.

Zhu Lechen: "On the fourth day, she came to our house again, wanting to ask for Brother Yao's contact information. Fortunately, Mom didn't lose her mind. With our grandma around, she didn't take advantage of us."

In the Zhu family, the person who dislikes Xu Xiayan the most is Zhu Lechen.

Even though Xu Xiayan is very outstanding, Zhu Lechen just doesn't like her.

Because of this, Zhu Suisui rarely interacted with Xu Xiayan. After all, his second brother was watching her too closely.

Ask Zhu Lechen why he doesn't like it.

In fact, Zhu Lechen couldn’t put it into words, it was just a feeling.

The look in Xu Xiayan's eyes made people uncomfortable. It always felt that when she looked at everyone, she was thinking about how to use the other person to gain benefits for herself.

Anyway, she is too calculating, yet she looks pure and innocent. Her personality is very good, and it is hard to find anyone who thinks she is bad. Everyone thinks she is gentle, kind, excellent and motivated.

Mrs. Zhu, who was called, ate her noodles slowly and then spoke.

"You make it sound like you're such a bad person to me. We really don't know what she asked, we just told the truth."

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone laughed.

In fact, Zhu Suisui and the other younger generations learned the art of playing dumb from Grandma Zhu.

Xu Hui was also a little reluctant to mention this topic. She originally had a good impression of Xu Xiayan, but when she learned that she had also visited Lu Lanxu privately, she felt as uncomfortable as if she had eaten a fly when she saw her again.

She said, "Since we have come to the city, let's not talk about the village."

Zhu Lechen chuckled, "Our mother was worried about this and that at first, but as soon as Xu Xiayan came back, she urged us to go to Sijiu City as soon as possible. We asked Brother Yao to send us here at night because we didn't want the news to leak out. Except for Brother Yao, no one else knows where we are. Even if Xu Xiayan returns to Sijiu City after the New Year, she won't be able to find us."

Even if he found it, he wouldn't pay any attention to it.

He didn't want to get involved with her.

I always feel that nothing good is going to happen.

After this topic was discussed, there was some noise outside.

Zhu Suisui had almost finished eating.

She stood up and said, "Grandma, you guys eat first. I think Grandpa Shou is back. I'll go make noodles for him."

Old Lady Zhu nodded and said, "Let people eat in this house. It's warm here. This is someone else's house. If life wasn't hard, who would be willing to rent their house to outsiders? They are all miserable people."
