The next day, Chu Xingbang brought gifts to visit Elder Zhuang.
The three old men sat together, having endless stories to tell about the past.
Zhuang Le was tending the fire for Li Xiyue in front of the stove when he asked, puzzled, "Do old men like to chat so much too?"
“Older people tend to be nostalgic and love to talk about the past,” Li Xiyue said with a smile.
Zhuang Le nodded. "Indeed, the old man has become particularly long-winded since he turned fifty. Sigh, people just can't get old, or they become weird old men."
"You brat, talking bad about me again." Old Zhuang was passing by the window when he heard her words, so he poked his head in through the window.
Zhuang Le was startled and threw a piece of firewood at him. "Old man, are you trying to scare me to death?"
Old Zhuang nimbly dodged, hands on his hips, laughing loudly, "Didn't hit it again, hahaha..."
Li Xiyue: "..."
It's really frustrating.
During the meal, Chu Xingbang mentioned that Chu Xun and Li Xiyue were not young anymore. This time, Liao Qingshan didn't pretend to be stupid and said that they would discuss marriage when Chu Xun came back.
Chu Xingbang was so excited that he said he would go back and have Quan Yicheng prepare for the wedding, and try to get it done before the end of the year.
Li Xiyue clicked her tongue. There's less than a month until the New Year. Is there any need to rush like this?
Before she could say anything, Liao Qingshan agreed.
The person who used to grit his teeth at the mention of her boyfriend is now eager for her to get married. What a drastic change!
As the weather grew colder, Chu Xingbang, feeling sorry for his granddaughter-in-law, asked Quan Yicheng to take Li Xiyue to and from get off work. Li Xiyue, not wanting to offend the old man, agreed.
"Yicheng, has A-Xun called back recently?"
Quan Yicheng replied while driving, "No, but Brother Jiang heard Second Uncle mention it, so he'll probably be back in the next couple of days."
My second uncle is the commander-in-chief of the military region, so he has firsthand information about the troops.
Li Xiyue was still a little worried, "I wonder if A-Xun is injured?"
This mission is different from the previous ones; it should be very dangerous.
"Brother Xun always reports good news and not bad news... But don't worry, sister-in-law, no news is good news."
Li Xiyue nodded, only able to hope in her heart that Chu Xun would return safely.
"By the way, I've got news about the person my sister-in-law asked me to keep an eye on." Quan Yicheng said with a hint of disdain, "He has a woman outside, and he even has a child with her."
Li Xiyue smiled; this was a sure thing.
Last night, while Zhuang Le was out walking Xiao Bai, she asked her grandmaster for details about the circumstances of Zhuang Le's abandonment, and was able to confirm Zhuang Le's identity.
Everything is ready now, except for the final push.
When she arrived at the office, Lü Yan was already waiting there. Upon seeing her, she was about to speak.
Li Xiyue stopped her, led her into the office, and closed the door.
“Director Li, this weekend, Director Chen secretly had dinner with a male employee of the pharmaceutical factory named Ge Zhitian. Director Chen also secretly gave him a sum of money, at least this much.” Lü Yan held up two fingers.
She was standing not far away when Chen Yun handed Ge Zhitian an envelope; she saw it clearly.
Li Xiyue didn't expect her to be keeping an eye on people even on the weekend. "Thank you, Yanzi, you've worked hard."
“Director Li, I’m not tired.” Lü Yan shook her head and said worriedly, “Director Chen gave Ge Zhitian money, he’s definitely going to do something bad, we have to be careful.”
Li Xiyue laughed and said, "How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
