Chapter 68: Want to come and play in my Orchid Association? (Come and have a cup of sweet tofu pudding baby to reward and burst the update)
"Master, what are you looking at? Do you want to stop the car?"
The assistant looked at the sinister young man in the rearview mirror and asked softly.
The young man propped up his head, staring at Chi Wan walking down the street with his eyes fixed on her. Hearing this, he said impatiently, "Why are you stopping? Didn't you hear the old lady... rushing me home just now? Drive quickly."
The assistant lowered his head, pretending not to understand what the young man clearly wanted to say "old woman", and stopped talking.
The driver, who was about to slow down after hearing the assistant's words, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car sailed into the traffic like a swimming fish.
After entering the manor, the car just stopped and the door was opened by a tall girl: "Brother, why are you here so late? Grandma was just asking you."
The young man groaned in annoyance and cursed, "Didn't she go back to her hometown? Why is she back so soon?"
The girl curled her lips, moved closer and whispered, "It may be related to Song Yangming's matter, you should be careful."
The two people are naturally the younger generations of the He family, He Lingfeng and He Lingshan.
When He Lingfeng heard the three words "Song Yangming", disgust flashed in his eyes: "I guessed it."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask softly, "Is everything arranged?"
He Lingshan's eyes flashed and she smiled strangely: "I'm already on the way."
He Lingfeng nodded and strode towards the door.

Chi Wan spent a few peaceful days while waiting for the results of the paternity test.
That afternoon, Xu Qiaonian, who had made an appointment with her in advance, came to visit with his baby "Rotten Wood", followed by Xiahou Yu, who had changed into casual clothes.
He was wearing a hooded sweatshirt this time, and he looked younger than before.
Xu Qiaonian is a tall old man who always looks like he has served in the army. He has a straight back and is full of energy.
Xiahou Yu looks almost exactly like Xu Qiaonian, and when the grandfather and grandson stand together, their blood relationship can be confirmed without saying a word.
It’s just that Mr. Xu, who should have had a serious look, smiled so much that all the wrinkles on his face unfolded when he saw Chi Wan jogging over to open the door: “Hello, little Wan Wan, I finally get to see you in person. Does this count as a meeting between netizens?
"Oh, you don't know. Not only did Old Zhou praise you, but my quiet grandson also praised you to me last time, saying that you handled orchids very smoothly, much better than me. So, he had to follow me this time."
Xiahou Yu glanced at his grandfather, coughed lightly, and handed the exquisitely wrapped gift in his hand to Chi Wan: "Miss Chi, I was rude for not bringing any souvenirs when I came to your house last time. I heard from Zhou Huaian that the jade came from you, so I came here this time to express my gratitude."
Chi Wan didn't hesitate to accept the gift and invited the grandfather and grandson in. "No need to be so polite, it's just a normal transaction~"
Besides, the money from the jade token has already arrived, and the eight-digit balance in the overseas account will allow Chi Wan to look good to the world throughout the summer vacation.
She smiled and invited the two of them into the greenhouse.
These days, Li Xingye helped her expand the greenhouse in his free time and also set up an operation room.
Because Chi Wan transplanted many kinds of orchids into the greenhouse, even though Xu Qiaonian had heard Xiahou Yu mention it before, his eyes widened instantly when he stepped into this unique greenhouse!
"This... a dragon robe?! A dragon robe with such a bright color, my friend Wanwan, how did you raise one?! And there are also Jade Rabbit Butterflies!! I knew it! Did Old Zhou get that pot of Jade Rabbit Butterflies from you? And you said it was a gift from your grandson, you are just pretending!"
Old Master Xu looked at this one, then looked at that one. He liked every one of them and wanted to praise every one of them. His eyes were dazzled.
When he saw one of the plants, he suddenly smiled and said, "Isn't this the division of my octopus orchid? It's growing really well. Wanwan, you're taking such good care of your orchids. It's a pity to keep it all to yourself. Do you want to join my old man's orchid association?"
Orchid Society? Chi Wan's eyes lit up.
Old Xu said cheerfully, "It's called an association, but it's actually a place for a few old men like us to have fun and discuss things. Of course, if there are good orchids, we will also appreciate them together, exchange branches, and so on. You have so many orchids that are growing well. If you take them to the association, I'm afraid they will be amazed!"
Xu Qiaonian was being modest. Chi Wan knew about the orchid association he mentioned. It was not only about communication, but most importantly, there were relationships between orchid associations in various places and every expo.
To put it another way, the sheer variety of orchids available on this platform is enough to make Chi Wan yearn for it, even if he doesn't make money but just enjoys the orchids!
She finally understood why Xu Qiaonian was so concerned about a piece of wood that just might contain ghost orchid.
Chi Wan smiled shyly: "Grandpa Xu, please don't make fun of me. What kind of orchids haven't you seen in your association? I'm just playing around. How can I compare with you guys?"
Xu Qiaonian waved his hand and said, "No matter how many orchids you have, you have to know how to take care of them. If he is like Lao Zhou, who can't keep anything alive, I won't accept him! Then it's settled. I heard from Lao Zhou that you are studying at Huazhong University? It's not far away, so you can come to the association more often when you have nothing to do.
"Let those old men who think highly of themselves see this: Who says that only old people can grow good flowers?"
Thus, Chi Wan's admission into the Central China Orchid Association was decided in just a few words.
After saying all this, Xu Qiaonian finally got down to business.
He carefully took out the rotten wood in the incubator, with a distressed look on his face: "I guess Lao Zhou also told you the origin of this piece of wood. They all said that I was deceived. This is just a rotten piece of wood.
"But in my heart, I always feel unwilling to give up. I don't know why I am so obsessed with a piece of wood. Every time I want to give up, I think, what if?"
Xiahou Yu whispered behind Xu Qiaonian: "That's because you have paid too much for it, so you can't let it go."
Xu Qiaonian wanted to refute, but didn't know what to say.
Because everyone had the same opinion as Xiahou Yu, thinking that he was possessed by a demon.
In fact, he knew in his heart that if there was even a slight possibility, he would not put all his hopes on a little girl like Chi Wan.
Chi Wan smiled and said, "Old man, I understand your feelings. It's not just a matter of cost. Ghost orchids are too rare. Since they cannot be cultivated artificially, it's hard to say when they will become extinct in the mountains.
"And now, there is an opportunity to cultivate ghost orchids. No matter how slim the hope is, it is an opportunity that people who like and love orchids will never miss."
