"Huadong, you're here? You must have a simple meal at my house at noon today. I will cook for you myself." Sun Cuilan came out after cleaning the room. She saw Cheng Huadong with her sharp eyes and greeted him warmly.
"It's my honor to eat the food cooked by my aunt." Cheng Huadong glanced at Zheng Dandan, then looked at Sun Cuilan with a humble and well-behaved attitude.
"Look, you are worthy of being back from abroad, your words are so pleasant to the ears." Sun Cuilan looked at Cheng Huadong with satisfaction, and she liked him more and more.
"It's all true, auntie. Let me help you clean." When Cheng Huadong saw Sun Cuilan pick up a rag to wipe the window, he immediately stepped forward to try to help.
"No, I can do it myself." Sun Cuilan said with full energy. She treated Cheng Huadong as her own son, so why would she want him to do rough work? "You go talk to Dandan, um, talk about business matters."
When Cheng Huadong heard Sun Cuilan's words, he subconsciously looked at Zheng Dandan.
"Come with me," Zheng Dandan said helplessly. Although she felt she should keep a certain distance from Cheng Huadong, she didn't want to make a guest do the work.
"I'm sorry, I don't think I can help." Cheng Huadong looked at Zheng Dandan and said after they walked out of the door.
"There's nothing to be sorry about. This wasn't your obligation in the first place." Zheng Dandan said calmly. She raised her eyes and changed the subject, "However, I hope Mr. Cheng won't pay too much attention to my private affairs in the future. It's really uncomfortable to be pried into by others."
"I think I can explain." Cheng Huadong felt Zheng Dandan's strong disgust, and after thinking for a moment, he decided to tell her the truth.
"Hmm?" Zheng Dandan raised her eyebrows and motioned Cheng Huadong to continue.
"After you and Song Shiyun clashed that day, although I explained and advised them in detail, having grown up together, I understand their personalities and it's difficult for them to let it go. Therefore, I have been keeping an eye on them, worried about the impact on you."
"As expected, Shen Changfeng sent someone to investigate you. After he learned your identity, address, and plans to buy a house, he teamed up with the previous owner to set you up, tampering with the agreement in an attempt to undermine you."
"I'm targeting them, not you. Of course, everything happened because of me, I'm sorry." Cheng Huadong explained the whole story one by one and expressed his apology at the end. Zheng Dandan should not have suffered these unprovoked disasters.
"No wonder everything is so 'coincidental', that's how it is." Zheng Dandan thought thoughtfully after hearing this.
She did not blame Cheng Huadong. In the whole incident, it was almost all Song Shiyun who went crazy, Shen Changfeng was an accomplice, and Cheng Huadong was also innocent.
After realizing that Cheng Huadong was not monitoring her, Zheng Dandan's disgust and discomfort disappeared instantly.
"Thank you for the housewarming gift."
"As long as you like it." Seeing Zheng Dandan's attitude soften, Cheng Huadong's mood also brightened.
"The thought was very touching, but the gift was so expensive that I almost didn't dare to accept it."
"What's there to be afraid of?" Cheng Huadong asked.
"As the saying goes, one should return a favor. I'm afraid I can't repay the favor." Zheng Dandan said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"But I have great confidence in you." Cheng Huadong looked at Zheng Dandan with admiration, his eyes gradually deepening. "Besides, we are friends, right?"
"Thank you for your trust. I will definitely live up to your expectations." Zheng Dandan responded to Cheng Huadong with a smile, but deliberately ignored the second half of his sentence.
Friends? In Zheng Dandan's mind, partners are more appropriate.
