Chapter 51: Not even a glance at him
Chi Wan also asked the same question: "Hello, who are you?"
A man with a noble face and a well-tailored suit stretched out his hand from behind the box: "Hello, Miss Chi Wan, right? My name is Xia Houyu, and my grandfather Xu Qiaonian has contacted you before. I'm here to give you flowers."
Xiahou Yu? Is it his mother's last name?
Chi Wan looked at the river in his hand and quickly stepped aside to let him in. While taking him to the greenhouse, he asked curiously, "Didn't Grandpa Xu say that he would come by himself?"
Xiahou Yu followed Chi Wan's instructions and placed the big box in his hand on the table at the entrance of the greenhouse. He smiled when he heard Chi Wan's words: "He had something urgent to do, so he asked me to send it over, saying it was a prepaid thank-you gift."
Upon hearing this, Chi Wan carefully opened the box, and inside was an octopus orchid.
It can be seen that the flowers have bloomed to their fullest and the leaves are crowded in the flowerpot, which is the right time to divide the plant.
"Grandpa Xu, this flower is really well taken care of." Chi Wan admired it for a while and looked at Xia Houyu: "But Grandpa Xu, aren't you afraid that there will be problems with my division and this pot of flowers will be damaged? It's not common to see octopus orchids blooming so well."
Xiahou Yu didn't really know much about orchids, so he just said calmly, "Since Grandpa asked me to give it to you, I naturally trust you."
Chi Wan chuckled: "Then I can't let Grandpa Xu down."
She knew that Xu Qiaonian was testing her abilities, but she didn't know why he didn't come and watch it himself, but let Xiahou Yu come instead - it seemed that Xiahou Yu was not very interested in orchids. After all, when he saw the dragon robe plant in his greenhouse, his expression didn't change at all.
Although the flowers that Chi Wan had planted before were always killed due to various accidents, she was absolutely confident in the basic operation of the plants.
Li Xingye was not in a good mood after hearing the conversation between Chi Wan and Xiahou Yu.
First it was his senior brother, then some Octopus Orchid. He wished he could dig a hole in the space to see who this Xiahou Yu was.
But in the end it was just impotent rage.
Li Xingye could only comfort himself silently. It was obvious at first glance that Wanwan was not familiar with that Octopus Lan. The two spoke in a businesslike tone, unlike when Wanwan spoke to him, she always spoke in a coquettish tone.
After all, I am different from that octopus orchid... right?
As he thought about it, he angrily urged the seeds to sprout one by one, picked out a few and collected the fruits, putting them in the pocket he prepared for Chi Wan.
"What octopus orchid or cuttlefish orchid? Wait for me to find a shark orchid or whale orchid for Wanwan..."

Chi Wan, who was excited to see the prey, naturally didn't know that some people were already gritting their teeth in secret.
Before her family went bankrupt, she often divided and grafted plants in the greenhouse, so all the tools were placed in the space.
Seeing that Xiahou Yu didn't seem to have any intention of leaving immediately, she thought that maybe Xiahou Yu was going to take the octopus orchid back directly after she finished dividing it. After all, the orchid needed good care after being divided.
So she smiled and said, "Then sit down and drink some tea and wait for me for a while. It will be ready soon."
Motioning Xiahou Yu to sit on the rattan chair beside him, Chi Wan started dividing the octopus orchid before he could speak.
Although Li Xingye could almost ensure that the plants would not be affected too much after division, she still prepared the tools meticulously and was familiar with the steps and techniques of division.
Once she enters a field that she is good at and loves, she doesn't care if there are people watching her.
Chi Wan's hands were steady. She carefully removed the octopus orchid from the pot and then removed the old substrate from the roots one by one.
Then carefully remove the dry leaves, old pseudostems, and dead old roots. Finally, cut the plant into two clumps and plant them in the substrate prepared in advance.
Xiahou Yu sat down on a rattan chair beside him and watched Chi Wan busying around without saying a word.
He wanted to tell Chi Wan that his grandfather was not in a hurry for her to divide the plants immediately. He didn't rush to speak, but just felt that Chi Wan's house was unique and the style was very suitable for the resort he was developing, so he silently observed the structure of the house for a while.
Unexpectedly, Chi Wan was an ultimate action-oriented person. When Xiahou Yu wanted to speak again, she was already busy and it was difficult to stop her.
Xiahou Yu could only drink his tea quietly, watching Chi Wan dividing the plants in an orderly manner, and actually saw some beauty in the flowing beauty.
The fluffy hair of the girl in a ponytail was stained golden by the sunlight coming in through the window. She had a smile on her lips, her hands moving non-stop, and she looked at Octopus Orchid with an extremely serious and focused expression, not giving him any glances.
This made Xiahou Yu, who was always the focus of the crowd, feel a little strange, but he also inexplicably enjoyed this rare quietness.
Especially when I looked at the octopus orchid that was originally a little lush and had become less in number after being taken care of by Chi Wan, although it looked more lively overall than before, I could also appreciate some of the elegance of the orchid.
It’s not that Xiahou Yu had never seen his grandfather dividing plants, but the sight of the old man muttering while gesticulating with the scissors was not as pleasing to the eye as what he saw before him.
Chi Wan packed up the last bit of substrate and looked at the two separated orchids in front of him with a satisfied smile.
She stretched and stood up, only to find Xiahou Yu looking at her. Chi Wan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Are you bored waiting? It has been divided, and Grandpa Xu should know how to cook it later.
"These flowers are almost past their blooming period. It would be a pity if they withered. If you like, you can pick them and put them in a vase. The flowers of the octopus orchid are quite unique."
Xiahou Yu came back to his senses and nodded slightly, but did not continue Chi Wan's topic. Instead, he asked, "Thank you for the reminder. But compared to the flowers, your house looks more unique. Can I ask who designed and built it for you?"
Chi Wan blinked, not knowing what Xiahou Yu wanted to do for a moment, and could only vaguely say: "Yes... one of my brothers helped to build it, but he has been living abroad and rarely comes back. What's wrong?"
Xiahou Yu was silent for a few seconds: "I just think this tree house is very interesting. If possible, I would like to invite him to build a few holiday homes for my resort."
Chi Wan looked regretful: "That's unfortunate. My brother is not actually an architecture major. He has his own business. He helped me build the tree house because he happened to be on vacation."
Even if I don't take a vacation, I can't let Li Xingye show everyone how to build a tree tower out of flat ground.
Xiahou Yu could only give up after hearing this: "I am too presumptuous. Since the flowers have been divided, then I will..."
Unfortunately, before he could finish his farewell words, a hysterical roar came from outside the house: "Chi Wan! Get out here, you damned little bitch!!"
