Liu Xiang smiled awkwardly, "Aunt Chang, don't say anymore. It's not Han Yuan's fault. I was just being presumptuous."
Liu Xiang's smile looked somewhat bitter.
"Just because she's taken a liking to me, does that mean I have to marry her?" Zhang Hanyuan squinted at Liu Changli and said, "Take the people you brought with you away. I won't get married before I'm thirty. And tell your man not to bother me. My father died more than ten years ago."
"you……"
Zhang Hanyuan threw down these words, turned around and strode towards the coal mine gate, then glared at Sheng Qian: "What are you all standing there for?"
Sheng Qian glanced at Liu Changli and Liu Xiang, then followed them inside.
Liu Changli wanted to bring Liu Xiang in with her, but they were stopped by the guards outside who stared at them with hostile eyes and warned them not to come closer.
Liu Changli was furious. "Pah! He's just a bastard, what's he so proud of?"
She spoke in a low voice, so that only she and Liu Xiang could hear her.
"Aunt Chang, let's go back first. If we stay any longer, I won't have the face to come back..." Liu Xiang looked aggrieved.
"Don't worry, Xiangxiang, I'll definitely get it done for you." Liu Changli was always eager to do her best when there was something to gain.
She brought them together, and whatever benefits she gets in the future, Liu Changli will be the first to receive them.
That bastard doesn't know what's good for him.
Is Liu Xiang, a high school student, not worthy of being associated with an illiterate person who didn't even finish junior high school?
Liu Xiang looked back and her eyes flickered: "Aunt Chang, I think that female boss is very beautiful. I bet a lot of people like her. Han Yuan works for her and sees her every day. I wonder how many people envy him."
Liu Xiang's words were pointed.
Liu Changli said disdainfully, "What's the use of being pretty? She'll just be used to bring good luck to others. This coal mine, who knows what means she used to get it? How many men have come and gone around her? Even someone like Da Lin, she might not even look at. This Qian girl, she's got a wild heart."
"I don't think she's that kind of person, Aunt Chang. Could it be that you're prejudiced against her?" Liu Xiang felt very jealous.
Being beautiful is great; so many men are willing to follow her and give her so many benefits.
If she had that kind of appearance, she certainly wouldn't be much worse than Sheng Qian.
Besides, she's not bad looking now.
Why does Zhang Hanyuan look down on her?
She refused to believe that she couldn't win over Zhang Hanyuan.
"You can know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows what dirty things she's done behind the scenes? Xiangxiang, you don't need to envy her. She's already a whore who's been ridden by thousands outside," Liu Changli said viciously, judging others by their worst possible perspective.
"Aunt Chang, I'm not envious of her. Please don't say that. It wouldn't be good if someone overheard."
“If she dares to do it, I dare to say it,” Liu Changli said nonchalantly.
Liu Xiang felt not only envious, but also jealous.
Upon seeing Sheng Qian's appearance, she felt an urge to peel off Sheng Qian's skin and replace it with her own.

We entered the shed.
Sheng Qian looked Zhang Hanyuan up and down.
Zhang Hanyuan felt a chill run down his spine.
"What exactly are you looking at?"
"That girl is quite pretty."
Zhang Hanyuan glared: "What's so good-looking about you? You're not even half as pretty as me."
The atmosphere froze for a moment after those words were spoken.
He Weiguo hurriedly said, "I, I'll go see if anyone else needs help."
He ran away after saying that.
Sheng Qian looked at Zhang Hanyuan speechlessly: "Why are you comparing me to that girl? She is indeed quite good-looking, but she is a bit arrogant."
"It's not like you think she's pretty, but would I compare her to you?" Zhang Hanyuan's handsome face darkened as he looked at her irritably. "What are you doing back here?"
"...Can't I come back?" Sheng Qian knew he was still angry, so she didn't argue with his attitude.
“Just call me if you need money,” he thought. He couldn’t think of any other reason why Sheng Qian would come back at this time.
I came back to see you.
"..."
He didn't believe that at all.
“You’re all alone, it’s not easy for you. I’m worried you might do something rash and bury yourself in the mine.”
“It’s really not easy to do things for you. If you’re feeling down, I’ll bury you first,” Zhang Hanyuan said with a sullen face. He pulled up a chair and sat down on another one. “What exactly happened?”
"The main reason I came back this time is to see if there are any family members like He Weiguo who have returned from military service."
When it came to serious matters, both of them became serious.
What do you want with these people?
“Let’s form a special team,” Sheng Qian said casually.
Zhang Hanyuan realized something, his brows furrowing deeply. "Sheng Qian, what dangerous things have you done outside?"
“We’re just looking, nothing’s decided yet,” Sheng Qian changed the subject. “By the way, this is the number Grandma Ju gave me. If you want to contact Zhao Niangen in the future, just call this landline. But he might not be able to answer; you’ll have to wait for him to call back…”
“He called back the day before yesterday,” Zhang Hanyuan suddenly said.
Sheng Qian was very surprised: "What did he say?"
"He didn't say anything."
"Why would you make that face when I didn't say anything?"
What expression should I make?
"A look of unrequited love," Sheng Qian said.
Zhang Hanyuan's lips twitched. "If you're not well-educated, don't talk nonsense."
"Is he having any difficulties?"
Sheng Qian's tone changed again.
Zhang Hanyuan said, "There are no difficulties for the time being, but I feel that what he is about to do is somewhat dangerous."
"With the protection of the team, he will be in no danger."
“Sheng Qian,” Zhang Hanyuan looked deeply at Sheng Qian, his voice deepening.
Sheng Qian looked over, waiting for him to continue.
"Don't die out there."
"..." Sheng Qian raised an eyebrow. "Are you cursing me to die?"
"I'm serious when I'm talking to you."
“I’m just a businessman, I’m not on the verge of death, don’t worry about it.” Sheng Qian stood up and said, “I’ll go check if any of the machines need repair.”
Zhang Hanyuan watched her leave, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and started smoking.
The face was quickly half-obscured by the smoke.
