Chapter 1772: Why Are You Being So Polite With Us?

The house is secured, but the occupants still need to be cleared out.

Liu Chuxue looked at Fu Yan Cheng: "Leave the people squatting in that house to you."

Fu Yan Cheng hummed lightly: "Fine. In three days at the least, a week at the most, I'll make sure they're all gone."

Liu Chuxue thought for a moment: "Good. Once they leave, we can find new tenants. Whenever we need the place, we'll just ask them to move out."

Fu Yan Cheng smiled and replied: "Fine, whatever my wife says goes."

The two had just exited the Housing Bureau gate when they ran straight into Guo Yueliang: "What are you two doing here?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Came to handle the property transfer paperwork."

Guo Yueliang didn't think much of it, assuming Fu Yan Cheng and his family were transferring an existing property: "By the way, about the translation materials I mentioned earlier, do you have time recently?"

Although Liu Chuxue still had unfinished materials from the First Ministry of Machine Building, she had promised Guo Yueliang: "Fine, better to do it today than wait. Let's go sign the agreement and get the materials now."

Guo Yueliang didn't hesitate: "Fine, let's head back to the newspaper office right away."

It was only when they were nearly at the newspaper office that she let out a low exclamation: "In my excitement, I forgot my own business. Looks like I still have to make another trip."

Liu Chuxue and her husband also belatedly remembered that when they met Guo Yueliang, they forgot to ask what she was going there for.

With Guo Yueliang's recommendation, plus Liu Chuxue's status as an external staff member of the First Ministry of Machine Building, the newspaper office naturally couldn't offer less than the Ministry did.

Still, seeing is believing, so the newspaper office had Liu Chuxue translate a passage on the spot before they felt reassured.

After signing the agreement with the newspaper office and receiving the materials to translate, Liu Chuxue said: "Then you carry on; we'll head out first."

Guo Yueliang informed her supervisor, then turned to Liu Chuxue and her husband: "I'll walk you out."

On the way out, Guo Yueliang didn't return to her unit but went straight to the state-run hotel across the street, borrowed a bicycle, and rode back toward the Housing Bureau.

Liu Chuxue and her husband bought some gifts at the department store, then went to see Du Juan again: "How is Du Juan doing?"

Jiang Minghua, seeing the gifts in their hands, looked embarrassed: "She ate a little, then fell asleep again. Still, she was so frightened that her sleep isn't very peaceful."

Liu Chuxue went in to check; indeed, as Jiang Minghua said, Du Juan's face would frown, then she would mutter something: "If you're busy, just send her back to my mother's place."

Only after saying this did Liu Chuxue remember she needed to inform Xiao Mu and the others later.

Just as Liu Chuxue was about to take her leave, she heard Du Juan cry out in alarm: "Don't catch me!"

As she spoke, her hands flailed wildly in the air.

Jiang Minghua quickly dropped what she was holding: "Du Juan, it's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Hearing Jiang Minghua's voice, Du Juan slowly opened her eyes: "Minghua, I was so scared."

No sooner had the words left her lips than Du Juan saw Liu Chuxue standing on the floor: "Cousin, I'm fine now. Sorry to have worried you."

Liu Chuxue, still a bit uneasy, said: "Minghua probably can't take too long a leave to stay with you. If you still don't feel at ease in a few days, go stay at my mother's for a few days; she'll make you some calming soup to drink."

Du Juan thought that if her cousin's husband hadn't directly struck down the person trying to control her, whether she would have survived was uncertain; her heart was full of gratitude: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, thank you."

Liu Chuxue wore an expression of tender concern: "Why are you being so polite with us?"

After chatting a few more minutes, the couple finally left, called Xiao Mu to report they were safe, then hurried off to catch their train.
