When Shu Yahan saw Ping Kaixuan jogging towards her, she felt mixed emotions. She clenched her fists nervously, and beads of sweat oozed from her palms.
She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down.
Chu Jingqiu patted Shu Yahan's back gently and whispered comfortingly, "Yahan, don't be nervous. Don't let Ping Kaixuan see any clues.
You look like you're going to a fight. You're too nervous. Relax.
Just try to maintain your previous state. I will do my best to protect your safety, don't worry! "
Shu Yahan nodded, and when Ping Kaixuan ran to her, a bright smile appeared on her face.
Ping Kaixuan enthusiastically stepped forward and took Shu Yahan's hand, smiling and saying, "Sister Yahan, Jingqiu, you're here! I've been waiting for you for a long time.
Even my mom and sister-in-law have come out to greet us several times. Let’s go home quickly!”
Shu Yahan smiled and said, "Kaixuan, I miss Auntie and my sister-in-law so much too. I've been wishing I could grow wings and fly here all the way. Let's go to your house and see them."
Ping Kaixuan seemed to be listening absentmindedly, standing on tiptoe and looking into the distance, "Jingqiu, how did you two get here?
Didn’t your cousin bring you here? Where is your cousin? Let him come to our house and have a seat!”
Chu Jingqiu knew that this guy was still thinking about Qi Yue, so she said calmly, "Are you talking about Qi Yue? He and my wife had something to do today, so he dropped us off at the village entrance and left. He'll come pick us up this afternoon after he's done his business."
Ping Kaixuan said with a disappointed look on his face, "Oh! What an unfortunate coincidence! Otherwise, we could all get together and have some fun."
At this time, Dong Xuezhi, who had just stood with Ping Kaixuan, also came over slowly.
Ping Kaixuan's eyes flashed, and he leaned close to Shu Yahan's ear and said in a low voice, "Sister, this is my boyfriend Dong Xuezhi, a skilled worker at the glass factory. What do you think?"
Shu Yahan looked at Dong Xuezhi carefully. This man was very handsome, with almond-shaped eyes that were slightly upturned at the corners, and very fair skin. His appearance was above average among men.
She smiled and nodded, whispering, "Kaixuan, you have good taste. Xuezhi seems to be a pretty good guy."
Dong Xuezhi walked up to the group and said with a smile, "Hello, I'm Dong Xuezhi, from Triumph..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ping Kaixuan, who smiled and introduced Shu Yahan and Chu Jingqiu to Dong Xuezhi.
Chu Jingqiu glanced at Ping Kaixuan, curled her lips, and asked in a nonchalant manner, "Kaixuan, is this your girlfriend? She looks pretty good!"
Ping Kaixuan waved his hands hastily, "Jingqiu, you misunderstood. This is my junior high school classmate. He came to my house specially to play today."
The smile on Dong Xuezhi's face froze, and he looked at Ping Kaixuan with dissatisfaction.
Chu Jingqiu looked back and forth between the two of them for a few times, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Really? Seeing how close you two are, I thought you were her boyfriend!"
The four of them chatted and laughed as they walked home. Ping Kaixuan's yard was quite large, and there were several women in the yard who were busy chopping stuffing and making dumplings.
Seeing Shu Yahan coming, Ping's mother immediately came forward, wiped her hands gently with her apron, and took Shu Yahan's hand with a smile on her face.
"Yahan, it's been over a year since we last met. You're even more beautiful than before! Are your parents doing okay now?"
Shu Yahan smiled and nodded, responding, "Auntie, you're too kind. My parents are all doing well. Are you and Uncle Ping all right, too?"
When Ping's mother heard this, her face lit up with joy. "It's all good, all good! Come sit inside, I'll prepare something delicious for you."
After saying that, Ping's mother turned and went into the kitchen and started to get busy.
Dong Xuezhi took the initiative to help Ping Erge with his work. Ping Kaixuan brought Chu Jingqiu and Shu Yahan into his room.
Ping Kaixuan enthusiastically served homemade roasted melon seeds and peanuts, and was busy making tea and pouring water, showing great hospitality.
Seeing her being so polite, Shu Yahan chuckled and stopped her: "Kaixuan, there's really no need to be so polite. We are all not strangers. It would be great if we could sit down and chat."
After saying that, he took Ping Kaixuan's hand and said with expectation in his eyes: "Kaixuan, didn't you say you could help me find the box? Where is my box now?"
Ping Kaixuan's eyes flickered, and an awkward smile appeared on his face: "Yahan, the box was indeed found, but it is not in my house now.
It’s too heavy, I’ll leave it with Uncle Lao Tong for now. We’ll go get it together after dinner.”
Shu Yahan nodded in agreement, then asked curiously: "Kaixuan, how did you find the box?"
Ping Kaixuan sighed and explained, "It was Sha Dali who secretly moved it away. I don't know who instructed him to do that. He hid the box in a cave in the back mountain.
I spent a lot of effort to find it, but unfortunately the money and gold and silver jewelry inside are gone. I also searched the cave for a long time, but couldn't find your ancestral jade bracelet. "
After hearing this, Shu Yahan felt a little disappointed, but more of a sense of gratitude. "I'm already very satisfied just to be able to find those manuscripts. Thank you, Kaixuan."
The two of them were chatting happily, while Chu Jingqiu was looking at the structure and layout of Ping Kaixuan's house calmly.
I secretly wondered where Ping Kaixuan would take action and what method he would choose.
At this moment, the yard suddenly became lively, and the three of them looked out the window at the same time.
It turned out to be Yue Wenli and Gao Guangying who came in carrying things. Ping Kaixuan saw them and hurried out to greet them.
Chu Jingqiu looked at Yue Wenli's figure, sneered, and whispered to Shu Yahan: "Yahan, did you see the pregnant woman in the yard?
She is Yue Wenli. I didn't expect her to come join in the fun even though she's so pregnant. She's probably worried that Ping Kaixuan won't be able to do it, so she came to give her courage."
Shu Yahan's heart tightened when she heard this. She said nervously, "Jing... Jingqiu, I'm a little scared. If they unite, I'm afraid I won't be able to deal with them...!"
Chu Jingqiu patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Even if all the family members come together, they may not be able to beat me.
I feel like her family doesn't seem to know about it, and they won't take action easily in front of so many people.
Even if we want to do it, we have to find a remote and deserted place. I feel Ping Kaixuan will do something with that box and may wait until you take the box before taking action.
No matter where she strikes, I will protect you, and Qi Yue and Yi Han are also protecting us in the dark, so you can rest assured! If this group of people dare to strike today, they must pay the price. "
Shu Yahan held Chu Jingqiu's hand tightly. "Jingqiu, thank you. I'm a few years older than you, but I'm still not as calm as you when faced with things. I feel much calmer now."
Chu Jingqiu nodded, "Just relax and act with them later. The more relaxed the better. Be sure to be careful with the tea and food they pass to you."
