Chapter 525: Taking Xiao Yue Back to Niushiling

After sending Xiao Fang away.

I let Shi Yong drive, and I prepared to go back to Niushiling to have a look.

How is Shi Jinhe's house after it was demolished?

Qiao Jie, Ru Meng, and Qian Niang are still in Niushiling.

Soon we arrived at Niushiling.

As soon as Shi Yong arrived at Niushiling, he let out a big shout,

"I, Shi Yong, have returned; Niushiling is my world."

Shi Yong's shout startled both me and Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue looked at Shi Yong and showed a different smile.

I laughed and said, "Xiao Yue, this is truly the countryside. If you are willing to follow me, then from now on you can only live here."

Xiao Yue said, "Mr. Zhao, wherever you go, I will follow."

"Alright. Then let's get out of the car."

I got out of the car, then said to Shi Yong, "Shi Yong, contact Shi Jinhe and ask where he is."

Shi Yong said, "Okay, brother."

Shi Yong began contacting Shi Jinhe.

After a while, Shi Yong said, "Brother, Jinghe said he's at Qian Niang's place. The house has already been demolished."

I said, "Let's go, we're heading to Qian Niang's."

I, Shi Yong, and Xiao Yue headed toward Qian Niang's house.

When we arrived at Qian Niang's, Shi Jinhe was leading people in work; seeing me, he ran over,

"Brother, you've come.

Everything here has been demolished; tomorrow we can start digging the foundation and erecting the beams."

I looked around,

nodded slightly,

"Good, not bad. How long will it take to finish building?"

"Brother, now it's all reinforced concrete; it'll be up in half a month." Shi Jinhe took out a cigarette.

At this moment, Shi Yong came over, leaned close to Shi Jinhe's ear and whispered something,

Shi Jinhe looked at Xiao Yue,

and smiled, saying, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Xiao Yue gave a sweet smile and readily agreed.

I also didn't give much explanation.

What explanation? Between men and women, there's really no need to explain.

I asked Shi Jinhe, "Qiao Jie, how was the house over there handled?"

"People have already been arranged to demolish it, and we'll build the same kind of villa." Shi Jinhe said.

"Has Qian Niang returned?" I asked again.

"She has returned; she came back together with Ru Meng, and I temporarily placed them in the hotel.

Qian Niang said, don't build a big house; just two rooms enough to live in will do." Shi Jinhe said.

"Follow your blueprints; we must build the best. In the future, I will spend my old age in Niushiling." I said.

"Okay, brother, rest assured; I will definitely build the finest villa." Shi Jinhe replied.

With Shi Jinhe here, I don't need to worry about anything.

I said to Shi Yong, "Let's go, we'll head back to the Niushiling hotel to check on Qian Niang."

Shi Yong said, "Qiao Jie also came with you to Niushiling."

I said, "Yes."

"Brother, I admire you the most. So many women are willing to follow you." Shi Yong sighed.

"What nonsense." I glared at Shi Yong with my eyes, not wanting him to talk nonsense.

At this moment, Xiao Yue asked Shi Yong, "Who is Qiao Jie?"

"Qiao Jie should be the elder sister-in-law, my brother's former wife. I'll tell you about the women my brother has been with..." Shi Yong chattered to Xiao Yue.

"Shi Yong, why do you talk so much? Go back to Zaocheng." I said angrily.

"Brother, I was wrong." Shi Yong said with a smile.

At this moment, seeing Shi Yong's appearance, Xiao Yue happily stuck out her tongue.

Our group quickly arrived at the hotel.

Qian Niang was chatting with Ru Meng and Qiao Jie.

Seeing us return, Qiao Jie hastily stood up,

"Jianqiang, you're back. Who is this person?"

Qiao Jie pointed at Xiao Yue and asked.

I was about to introduce Xiao Yue,

Shi Yong said from the side, "Qiao Jie, her name is Xiao Yue, my brother's newly taken sister-in-law, pretty, right?"

Upon hearing Shi Yong say that, Qiao Jie immediately became gloomy and heartbroken.

Qian Niang looked at Xiao Yue,

then looked at me,

and then whispered to me, "Er Hai, what's going on."

I smiled.

"Mother, you've taken in another foster daughter."

Qian Niang punched me with her fist.

"Er Hai, you, sigh, Ru Meng is already this big, you're clueless."

Ru Meng looked at Xiao Yue.

She didn't have any strange expression.

She just said to me, "Dad, you're fine, looking energetic. I'll call you older sister."

Xiao Yue looked at Ru Meng.

"Mr. Zhao, is this lady your daughter?"

I nodded.

"Her name is Ru Meng, she's my precious daughter.

You've seen it, I truly plan to return to Niushiling to spend my old age."

Xiao Yue then politely greeted everyone.

Qian Niang then said, "Er Hai, I told Jinghe, building two rooms is enough, enough for me to live in.

But we can't waste."

I said, "Mother, let Jinghe handle it, whatever it turns out to be, that's what it is.

Qiao Jie, what requirements do you have for the house? Tell me."

"I have no requirements." Qiao Jie said coldly.

It seems, Xiao Yue's arrival made Qiao Jie feel uneasy.

Ru Meng then came over, taking Xiao Yue's hand.

"Older sister Xiao Yue, let's go downstairs to stroll around Niushiling, to the local clothing store—I've looked at two outfits, help me pick one."

Xiao Yue happily said, "Come on, little sister Ru Meng, I'll take you."

Ru Meng and Xiao Yue left.

Then Qian Niang said, "Er Hai, there's still one matter: Ru Meng's schooling.

You don't want him to go back to the Provincial Capital to study.

Then we need to find a school; school starts soon in September, she's this old, can't just idle.

I said, "Mother, I've been thinking about it. In a couple days I'll take Ru Meng away.

Zhao Xiaohua has already arranged a private high school for Ru Meng, let her attend first.

We can't let the child stay idle, otherwise who knows what trouble she'll stir up."

"Ru Meng, I'm not worried, I'm worried about you—how did you bring back another woman at your age, what exactly do you want to do?" Qian Niang asked angrily.

"Mother, this matter isn't easy to explain. I can only say that nothing happened between me and her." I said.

"Qian Niang, my older brother and that Xiao Yue are already living together, in the Sijiucheng hotel, I know all about it." Shi Yong immediately interjected.

"Shi Yong, if you don't speak, will you die?" I said angrily.

"Heh heh, you'll go crazy, brother, just admit it. No matter how many women you find, I'm not jealous—that's your charm." Shi Yong laughed.

This Shi Yong, I can't be bothered with him. Qiao Jie beside me said, "Ah, Jianqiang, that's just this bit of strength.

Good with women. In the past there was Xia Yuan, Yang Tao and other women accompanying him.

Wherever he goes, there are always women who like him."

"Qiao Jie, saying that is pointless. Don't bring up the past." I said angrily.

Seeing me angry, Qiao Jie didn't dare speak further.

Then she said, "Qian Niang, I'm tired, I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Qiao Jie left.

Shi Yong said, "Brother, I'm tired too, I'm going back to my room to sleep."

"You should have slept long ago." I said to Shi Yong.

Shi Yong gave a heh heh laugh, then left.

Only I and Qian Niang remained in the room.

Qian Niang then whispered to me, "Er Hai, now there's no one else, explain to Mother, what's the deal with this woman."

How should I speak to Qian Niang?

I silently took out a cigarette,

then sighed, "Mother, I want to tell you that between me and Xiao Yue there's nothing, whether you believe it or not.

Indeed nothing happened between us, you must trust your son's character.

Why Xiao Yue followed me back.

And I also brought Xiao Yue back to Niushiling. This matter is rather complicated.

Because some people don't trust your son.

I must show her my true life so she will believe."
