Chapter 520: Tangled and Confused

~35 min read 6,839 words

Master Dou said this just to inform Li Xuewu about the situation; they had noticed these two young women and had also made their presence known, so they wouldn't affect them.

They were all rough men doing manual labor, and it was inevitable that they would have contact with people in the courtyard.

The young man looking at the gate with his nostrils pointing to the sky was one thing, after all, they were all men, but they had to be cautious about the young women living in the courtyard.

Many of the people working there were old guys in their fifties or sixties, and when they were young, they were still repairing houses for wealthy families.

The habits formed at that time, or rather professional ethics, meant they couldn't have much contact with the women of the host family.

Whether it was the host family's household, or the maids, even the opera singers he saw now, they all belonged to the host family; they couldn't look, and even less could they have contact.

Li Xuewu understood Master Dou's meaning, smiled, nodded, and didn't say anything.

It was only when he left the big courtyard that he gave Zhou Changli, who was standing at the gate, a reminder to let Tong Huimei and the others cook in the small courtyard in the future.

If they really couldn't cook, and didn't mind the meals cooked by the women brought by these worker masters, then let him send it over for them to eat, no need to come over to help.

Zhou Changli didn't know what Li Xuewu meant by this; these people working had to eat at the construction site at noon.

If there was a host family here, naturally the host family would arrange it, but Li Xuewu didn't have time to arrange meals for them, so it was all arranged by Master Dou himself.

Master Dou also did it for convenience; those workers' women were idle anyway, so he called a few over to cook; no wages needed to be paid, just providing meals was enough.

Tong Huimei and the other were also starving, so they took advantage of Li Xuewu's words to go to the kitchen to help after those workers entered the site.

They thought that although the workers' meals were average, they were better than the noodles cooked by Zhou Changli.

They didn't know what was mixed into the noodles Zhou Changli made; they were particularly hard to bite and hard to digest.

Helping the workers, they could finally have a hot meal.

But they never imagined that they had thought that person would come today and should at least come over to take a look, but what they waited for was Zhou Changli, and the words Zhou Changli brought.

The two turned pale when they heard Li Xuewu's words; they were already embarrassed, and after saying that, it seemed they were really useless people raised by Li Xuewu.

Especially since Li Xuewu didn't even pay attention to them, which made the two, who had prepared their hearts, look even uglier.

Zhou Changli also saw that their complexions were wrong, guessed it was because they didn't see Li Xuewu, and persuaded: "Hi, Division Chief Li is busy."

He also heard from Master Dou's mouth, Zhou Changli persuaded: "Division Chief Li is getting married next month, there are many things to prepare, that foreman saying he came to check the site was just taking time out."

He was also a young man, how could he understand the hearts of young women, he couldn't even persuade them.

Such a sentence made the complexions of the two sitting on the chairs turn pale again and again.

Zhou Changli also didn't understand; why were women so troublesome, was he whitewashing the walls here or what.

Seeing the two not speaking, he shook his head and left.

He was dull, but not stupid; he was a bit excited when they first met, but after a few days of contact, he knew what kind of people these two young women were.

Being able to be picked up by Li Xuewu to live here, there was no mistake, they must be the people his uncle had contact with.

Maybe they were sent to warm Li Xuewu's bed by those people to block Li Xuewu's mouth.

Walking to the door and looking at the two beautiful young women in the room who were silent, Zhou Changli muttered in his heart that Li Xuewu was not a good thing.

Having power and influence is good, bah, envious every day.

In the room, Tong Huimei and the other were speechless, tears streaming down their faces.

They knew their fate was in that person's hands; they knew that person didn't look down on them, and hearing that person was getting married, it was as if they had reached the end of the world.

Until the moon hung on the branches, the two looked at the pitch-black courtyard outside and were confused; were they going to live like lonely ghosts in this big house for a lifetime?

Until that person remembered them and favored them?

Li Xuewu didn't think he had such good fortune; he returned to the courtyard and ate dinner with everyone, and watched Old Biaozi and the others help Yu Li move.

Yes, Yu Li and Li Xuecai's house in the east courtyard was completed tonight.

Li Xuecai had already looked at it countless times and had lost his freshness, so he didn't even go to look; Liu Yin and the old lady went to look.

Li Shun had also looked many times; besides, these two rooms were about the same as Li Xuewu's renovation, nothing new.

However, Yu Li was still very moved that she had a new house.

It was lively here, everyone was happy for Yu Li and the Li family, only the courtyard next door was quiet, that was the Third Master's house.

Yan Fugui had told himself to be calm in his heart long ago, but hearing the liveliness of the courtyard next door, he was still inexplicably a bit irritable.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng was not there; if he were, he would definitely be stared to death by his father's eyes.

Yu Li stood in the living room; although the furniture and such were all her original dowry from her maiden home, they were still new.

Old Biaozi was good at being a person; seeing the living room was empty, he brought a set of sofas from the warehouse side, saying it would be deducted from the wages.

However, based on what Yu Li knew, Old Biaozi would definitely "forget" to deduct the wages when the time came.

How could she take advantage of the collective; if Li Xuewu opened his mouth to give it, she would absolutely take it without saying a word, but for the collective side, she must pay.

"Hmm, it looks like a home."

Li Xuewu wanted to help, but Yu Li stopped him, and Old Biaozi also stopped him, so he stood with his hands in his pockets, looked at the surroundings in the living room, and smiled at Yu Li and Xilin and the others.

Xilin put her hands on her hips and asked Li Xuewu: "What's the matter? Do I have to move over and beg Sister Yu to take care of me?"

Yu Li smiled and didn't speak; Xilin wasn't asking her, but Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu smiled: "I can't manage this; the owner of this house is standing beside you, you ask me?"

Xilin stared and said angrily: "Then I'll move to your room and sleep!"

"Whatever, I just happen to be missing a maid to warm the bed."

Li Xuewu wasn't afraid of Xilin's threat; his skin was thick.

He thought that after he finished speaking, Xilin would have to be shy, but he didn't expect that Xilin not only wasn't afraid, but looked at him proudly.

What does it mean?

Why is Yu Li winking at him?

When Li Xuewu felt the murderous aura behind him, he hurriedly took a step forward, dodging the big palm behind him with a narrow escape.

"Do you want me to find you a warmer bed?"

No need to look back, his mother's voice came from behind; Li Xuewu turned his head and saw his mother gritting her teeth and saying: "Your father's whip will make the bed warmer after he finishes hitting you."

"Hehe, look at you, just joking."

Li Xuewu laughed dryly and said: "Mom, has the third one's room been tidied up?"

"Careful tidying you."

Li Xuecai's room wasn't in a hurry to be used; Liu Yin thought about tidying it up slowly, and after looking at that side, she came to look at this side, not expecting to hear her son's "presumptuous" words.

This Xilin was something Li Shun had been guarding against long ago; this kid dared to flirt, if Li Shun heard it, wouldn't he copy the whip and hit him.

Liu Yin saved her son's life, pointing at her son to remind him, don't be ungrateful.

Li Xuewu smiled, understanding his mother's meaning.

He didn't know what was wrong with his father, always guarding against Xilin, but not against Diliya.

Could it be because Diliya looked average? Or because Diliya didn't care about him, and didn't even talk to him?

Yu Li walked to Liu Yin's side and smiled: "I'll invite everyone to dinner tomorrow night, help me light the bottom of the pot, you have to come, Auntie; you helped me a lot today."

"This child, saying it like this is distant."

Liu Yin was still very close to Yu Li's attitude, smiling and saying: "Auntie will add dishes tomorrow night."

This was also a custom, considered a blessing for the joy of moving.

Yu Li wouldn't come to live here tonight, just moved the furniture and such over; tomorrow she had to go to Sha Zhu's room to move things over here.

One was Yu Li's, one was Yushui's.

For a period of time in the future, Yushui, Xilin, and Diliya would come to Yu Li's side to borrow a stay, because Sha Zhu borrowed money from the First Master, and also borrowed money from his sister, preparing to renovate his own house and his sister's house.

Originally Yushui meant that her house was still good, and there was no need.

But Sha Zhu said, repairing the house here, her side would be dusty, and it wouldn't be good to live in.

Then there was the principle that there was no reason for the brother to live well and the sister to live badly; if they were to repair, they would repair together.

Because they were going to renovate, money was tight, so he took the money directly from the First Master.

There was money in the inverted room, why didn't Sha Zhu take money from the inverted room?

Because he didn't borrow money from friends, didn't do business with relatives; the First Master was his elder, borrowing money was as it should be.

Last time the First Master lent it to him, he was preparing to marry Qin Jingru, but that young woman wouldn't do it no matter what.

This time he was marrying Diliya, the First Master was also happy for Sha Zhu, didn't speak, waved his hand at the First Master's wife, signaling her to take the money.

Tonight was just moving most of the items over; tomorrow was the formal move.

However, Xilin, Yushui, and the others had already started tidying up the hygiene of this room, and Li Xuewu didn't stand here, because his mother was staring at him fiercely.

If he didn't leave, his mother would open her mouth to drive him away.

A big man, what are you drilling into a woman's house for.

Li Xuewu returned to the backyard with a bitter smile; before he could fetch water to wash his feet, he saw Yu Li walk in.

"No need, I'll do it myself."

"Forget it."

Yu Li saw Li Xuewu who was still stubborn, and said with a smile: "Still angry with us?"

"Is it worth it?"

Li Xuewu smiled: "I'm afraid my mother will chase me and hit me."

"You're still afraid of this?"

Yu Li teased, then took the basin into the bathroom.

Li Xuewu habitually sat on the sofa and sighed: "Sigh~ from now on I'm a lonely person, no one to fetch foot-washing water."

Yu Li curled her lips, brought out the foot-washing water, and went to help Li Xuewu take off his socks and wash his feet.

"Saying it as if you are so pitiful, don't even know you are a person about to get married."

Yu Li deliberately pressed Li Xuewu's feet into the hot water, looked up at Li Xuewu and scolded: "Let your wife wash it for you in the future."

"Hehe~ hiss~"

Li Xuewu was scalded by the hot water and hissed, then smiled bitterly: "If I dare to make such an indecent request, she will definitely perform an amputation on me, and I won't need to wash my feet in the future."

"I don't believe it."

Yu Li smiled and curled her lips, saying: "You think I haven't looked carefully? He is a good person, where is he like what you said."

"Do you understand that knowing people and knowing faces doesn't mean knowing hearts?"

Li Xuewu bowed his body and poked his head to scare Yu Li, saying: "She is very formidable, understand surgeon? Holding a scalpel, she won't let you die even if she stabs you hundreds of times, every knife can dodge the vital points."

"Pfft, lying~"

Yu Li rolled her eyes, not believing Li Xuewu's ghost talk; this person was best at talking nonsense with a straight face.

Li Xuewu sighed, leaned back on the sofa in defeat, and said: "If I don't come back in a week in the future, you help me call the police; if there is no accident, I will be hiss~~~"

Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his foot; looking down, it was Yu Li wrinkling her nose and staring at him, not letting him talk nonsense.

"Hehe, just joking with you, why are you anxious."

Li Xuewu smiled, then said: "But the fact is indeed so, I really have to learn to take care of myself in the future."

Yu Li lowered her head silently to help this bad person wash his feet; he would only pretend to be pitiful to tease her.

"Tell you something."

"What's wrong?"

Li Xuewu was lying on the sofa thinking about things, when he heard Yu Li, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly speak: "Yu Haitang came tonight."

"When?"

Li Xuewu just went to the big house side for a stroll, how could he not see her.

"Just when you went out."

Yu Li sighed and explained: "First came to find me, beating around the bush to ask about your situation."

"Is that so?"

Li Xuewu frowned slightly, what is this young woman doing?

She came to his office for a turn in the morning, and now she chased him home.

"I took advantage of being busy with work and didn't pay attention to her; she went to find Yushui again."

Yu Li looked at Li Xuewu and said: "Yushui didn't guard against her, told her about your marriage, she still wanted to ask, Yushui persuaded her not to mess around, seemed to have quarreled with Yushui a few times and left."

"Hehe, am I particularly charming?"

Li Xuewu hung his eyes and smirked at Yu Li, making a self-proclaimed cool expression.

"Ugly to death."

Yu Li glared at Li Xuewu with disgust; this is talking about business, he would only digress.

Li Xuewu leaned back on the sofa and said: "I know, don't pay attention to her, I don't believe she dares to rob me to be a mountain bandit husband."

"Pfft, you're beautiful."

Yu Li saw Li Xuewu's appearance and knew he was concerned, so she didn't say anything more, poured the foot-washing water, helped Li Xuewu pull the curtains, and returned to the front courtyard to tidy up.

This was what she and Li Xuewu had agreed on long ago, that she wouldn't come over to stay here much in the future.

Li Xuewu also acquiesced to Yu Li's words, not asking her for anything.

Wearing slippers, he sat at the desk reading a book and recalling today's events, couldn't help but sneer.

Early morning, the cool wind was still a bit stimulating; Li Xuewu opened his squinted eyes, it was a bit cloudy outside.

"What time is it?"

He heard the noise in the courtyard outside, and his heart had already thought that they hadn't finished moving last night and were continuing this morning.

"Six o'clock."

Yu Li walked to the side of the kang, looked down at Li Xuewu, and reached out to rub his eyes.

"Sleep a little longer."

"No, can't sleep after waking up."

Li Xuewu yawned, but still woke up with Yu Li's somewhat cool hands.

"Finished moving?"

"No, Biaozi and Zhuzi and the others are busy."

Yu Li saw Li Xuewu decided to get up, so she handed the clothes by the pillow to Li Xuewu, and started tidying up the room at the same time.

"Biaozi said Master Dou and the others would come to dismantle the windows and doors early this morning, seemed to be preparing materials together with the big house side."

Moving the pillow, Yu Li got on the kang, and while folding the quilt, she talked about the front courtyard.

Just talking about the big house in Old Biaozi and the others' mouths, she asked: "Where is the big house?"

"Dongsi Liu side."

Li Xuewu yawned again, then was signaled by Yu Li to sit on the kang quilt and start putting on socks.

"Collected together when preparing houses for Biaozi and the others."

Explaining casually, Li Xuewu looked up at Yu Li, frowned and asked: "Is it very cold today?"

"Cloudy."

Yu Li replied, put the folded quilt on the kang cabinet, then squatted down to get the pillow, leaned her head in front of Li Xuewu and said: "Told you to pay attention to your health, but you mess around."

Li Xuewu tilted his head and closed his eyes; this woman was hopeless, doubting his physical fitness.

"Do you still want to supplement me?"

"You're beautiful."

Yu Li dodged Li Xuewu's big hand and scolded: "No money recently, all handed over to the account, still furniture money, still have to save money to pay you back."

Li Xuewu curled his lips and said: "Remember to calculate interest."

"Huang Shiren, you."

Yu Li smiled and pushed Li Xuewu, then put the pillow down and got off the ground.

Li Xuewu continued to put on his clothes, saw Yu Li didn't wait for him to finish putting them on before pulling the curtains, and said: "Taking revenge on me?"

"A big man is still afraid of being seen?"

Yu Li didn't pay attention to Li Xuewu, turned around to pull the living room curtains.

Li Xuewu got off the ground and said dissatisfiedly: "Big men are afraid of being seen, like a weak scholar like me, should know how to protect myself."

"Virtue~"

Yu Li rolled her eyes, put the dried towel on Li Xuewu's shoulder, turned around and went to the room to tidy up the things on his desk.

"Said it, your daughter's snacks are broken."

Li Xuewu was walking through the moon gate, saw Sha Zhu and the others carrying a broken cabinet out, and greeted them.

Sha Zhu followed behind, saw Li Xuewu coming and responded: "Don't want it, but Hearing Da Lao said the wood is not bad, preparing to dismantle it and plane it to make boards."

While talking, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Where did you buy the furniture in that room? If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Hearing Da Lao to go see the old goods with me."

He had seen the furniture in Li Xuewu's room; although they were all old goods, there was no concept of old at all; they were all good wood, the more they were used, the better they looked.

"Just that consignment store next to our street supply and marketing cooperative."

Li Xuewu stood in the courtyard and looked at Sha Zhu's main room and Yushui's side room.

"Didn't you think about changing Yushui's room into a kitchen, dividing the main room into east and west rooms, and leaving a room for Yushui?"

"I won't live with her."

Before Sha Zhu could speak, Yushui, who walked out of the room, rolled her eyes at her brother and said disgustedly: "Sloppy to death."

"You are stupid."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "He is sloppy, your sister-in-law isn't sloppy, live in east and west rooms after marriage, you can still take advantage of your sister-in-law."

"Hehe, this has to beg me."

Sha Zhu saw Li Xuewu say this, didn't feel ashamed of being said by his sister, and raised his eyebrows at Yushui: "Do you want to listen to Xuewu and live in the upper room?"

"Don't."

Yushui curled her lips and said to Li Xuewu: "Don't always give him ideas, my brother is a person who thinks of one thing after another, maybe you instigate him and he wants to build a building."

"Hehe, I think it works."

Li Xuewu patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said: "Let me know when you build the building, so I can follow the gift."

Seeing Li Xuewu walking out, Sha Zhu also looked at Yushui, then said: "Early in the morning, I haven't drunk yet, and I'm a bit drunk, otherwise I wouldn't dare to listen to this."

There were really quite a few earth-breaking jobs in this courtyard recently; first building houses in the east courtyard, tidying up the courtyard, then everyone in the courtyard tightening tiles, and now it was Sha Zhu's turn to tidy up the house.

"Must be careful, these strangers coming in and out."

Don't know what he heard, the Third Master who was strolling in the courtyard early in the morning said this to Li Xuewu when he saw him.

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "You, have time don't always dry in the courtyard, my father said it's to dry in the sun, not always dry, look at your complexion now, it's even brighter than the soy sauce vat color."

Yan Fugui raised his head slightly; he didn't believe Li Xuewu's words, closed his eyes and didn't pick up Li Xuewu's teasing, saying: "I'm talking about the wall gap in the east courtyard."

"Oh? You went to see it?"

The east courtyard just finished building the house, the wall gap opened when entering materials hadn't been blocked yet, but it was just a matter of these few days.

Li Xuewu didn't expect the Third Master to really go see the house on that side.

Listening to Li Xuewu's tone, Yan Fugui only felt that Li Xuewu was poking his lung tube, and his head was a bit uncomfortable.

However, he soon calmed down, turned his head and went to his own house.

Li Xuewu looked at the Third Master's back and couldn't help but smirk for a while, which was bumped into by Li Shun who came back from outside.

Seeing his father glare at him, Li Xuewu immediately restored his well-behaved expression and greeted his father.

Li Shun didn't pay attention to his son, carried the milk in his hand and went home.

Every morning, Li Shun had to get up early, first go to the side of the sea for a stroll, then go to the street entrance to collect milk for his eldest granddaughter, and then stroll back.

Didn't run or anything, just strolled, and his mental state was good all day.

Li Xuewu didn't have this habit; he wanted to sleep until noon, but didn't have this opportunity.

Made a face at his daughter looking at him through the glass by the window, teased his daughter into laughing with her little mouth, and then went to the inverted room in the outer courtyard.

Sha Zhu was busy on that side this morning, there weren't many people on the inverted room side, they hadn't come back yet, Li Xuewu put down the bag in his hand and went to the west courtyard for a stroll.

The big courtyard here was still spacious, but now it seemed a bit tight; the tables and chairs for the mountain were being placed in the courtyard to dry.

Perhaps because it was cloudy today, Hearing Da Lao didn't organize to move them into the room.

This furniture with paint couldn't be directly exposed to the sun, which would cause cracks, and the paint surface wouldn't be strong either.

Eyes looking at the layout of the courtyard, heart also calculating the arrangements for the wedding.

"Did your mother-in-law say when she would come?"

Zhou Wang Yamei put a pile of mixed small dishes on the table, and at the same time went to serve a small bowl of rice porridge for her son.

Gu Ning was unhappy when she came back last night; she didn't know the reason and didn't dare to ask.

Woke up early to prepare food, saw Gu Ning rarely get up late, and went to the room to call her up.

Seeing that they were all sitting by the dining table, Gu Ning was still looking at the bowl in a daze, so she asked a casual question.

"Oh."

Gu Ning reacted suddenly, looked at Fu Zhidong sitting opposite the table looking at her, and replied: "Didn't say."

Thought for a while and said: "My mother seems to want to come too, thinking about sitting together here."

After speaking, she picked up chopsticks and started eating.

Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Gu Ning, signaled her son, told him not to be distracted, and eat quickly.

Fu Zhidong's mind was very sensitive, able to feel the mood of Aunt Ning opposite.

But he knew he was a child and couldn't interfere with adults' affairs, so he looked at his mother and helplessly held the bowl to eat rice porridge.

"Then I'll tidy up the hygiene."

Zhou Wang Yamei sat beside her son and said to Gu Ning: "See if we should tidy up the courtyard too."

"Quite good, no need to tidy up."

Gu Ning lowered her head and drank rice porridge, replying: "No need to be so hard."

On the dining table, as Gu Ning's mood was low, the words were also fewer; the three finished eating, Fu Zhidong ran upstairs to get his schoolbag, while Zhou Wang Yamei looked at Gu Ning worriedly and asked: "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay."

Gu Ning smiled at Zhou Wang Yamei, and then went upstairs to get her bag.

The profession of doctor is very hard, not only manifested in daily work, but also pressure.

The pressure from professionalism is to constantly learn, and every surgery and treatment is a learning process.

Learning knowledge from other doctors or professional books, it can really be said that the sea of learning is boundless.

Everyone says doctors are specialized and amazing, learning only one subject in a lifetime, such as dentistry.

Working as a tooth extractor for a lifetime, closing eyes and using a noodle to pull your tooth out is also called an expert.

But saving lives has no boundaries; everyone wants to learn a little more, give themselves a chance, give the patient a chance.

Every night Gu Ning's reading time is half and half, half literature, half medicine.

Sometimes she reads medical books when she has time in the unit; this time she walked to the study, took the bag Li Xuewu sent, picked up a book on the table and put it in, looked at the two application forms on the table, hesitated for a moment, turned and walked out.

But she stopped at the stairwell, turned back to the study, put the two application forms on the desk into a file bag and put them in the bag.

Zhou Wang Yamei and her son were waiting downstairs; seeing Gu Ning come down from upstairs, the three went out together.

The villa gate is the intersection; Gu Ning walked straight out, including crossing the road, arriving at the unit in ten minutes.

Zhou Wang Yamei and her son walked to the intersection on the right, arriving at the kindergarten in seven or eight minutes.

The three had this procedure every day, going out together, separating at the intersection.

Today's Gu Ning felt particularly depressed on the road, but her steps were faster than usual.

When she arrived at the unit, colleagues in the department were doing shift handover; the day shift changed clothes, put on white coats, the night shift got off work, yawning and went to change clothes.

Mu Hongyan looked at her sister-in-law worriedly, seeing Gu Ning was just in a low mood, everything else was fine.

There were many people in the room, so she didn't say much.

Gu Ning took over the shift, put her bag on the table, then took the file bag out of the bag, went out and walked to the leadership office on the third floor.

Actually, all units are the same; as long as it's not a mysterious unit like Ji Weidong's, the walls are not airtight.

Gu Ning handed in the application in the morning, and before noon, the news that the surgical ice princess was getting married spread everywhere.

Gu Ning was not in the office now, and the people in the surgery department had already started chatting.

"Did you see clearly, is she getting married?"

"How could I not see clearly, it's true."

This person saw colleagues doubting, and said confidently: "You didn't see her taking the file bag out in the morning, what I saw on the courtyard director's desk was that file bag."

While talking, she deliberately explained softly: "However, it seems not quite right."

"What's wrong?"

Gu Ning was famous for her aloof personality in the department and rarely communicated with them.

However, because of Gu Ning's background and appearance, she was never short of pursuers.

But in this era, there was no blatant flower delivery, but it was enough to make these people in the department pay attention to Gu Ning.

Earlier, when that young man came to find Gu Ning, everyone gossiped, but guessed it was just a driver, didn't see any background.

Anyway, it wasn't the army, nor was it a high-ranking official's child; after all, that young man didn't have a rebellious personality.

Had the kindness of an ordinary family, and the temperament was just a young man who could talk.

"Just not right."

This person lay on the desk and explained softly to the colleagues looking over: "The marriage partner is not right?"

"Ah?"

The woman sitting opposite her pointed to the desk and reminded: "Can't talk nonsense."

"I didn't talk nonsense."

This person said definitely: "Although I didn't see it all, I took a glance, and still saw the marriage partner's position, it's Deputy Division Chief."

"Oh~~~"

Everyone in the room had a clear face.

Just said it, with Gu Ning's family background and birth conditions, how could she find a driver.

Besides, that young man didn't look good, a bit scary; even if his body was good, could he resist the term "well-matched"?

"Hehe, I think, all the same."

The middle-aged female doctor sitting on the side curled her lips and said: "The young women in the courtyard all want to find someone with a title; you still talk about love, feelings, and such; people with good backgrounds all find them like this, see how you talk in the future."

There were also people of similar age to Gu Ning in the department; male-female relationships were an eternal topic in the office.

And finding a partner with good conditions or good people was the focus of debate between the young generation and the middle-aged generation.

The middle-aged generation had long passed the age of heartbeat, thinking about being pragmatic, while the young generation took Gu Ning as a role model, actively breaking the rules, and seeking their own love.

However, the role model had defected now, but after all, they chose it themselves, so they had to mutter a few words and stop arguing about love with the old comrades.

But the first person who spoke emphasized: "Don't go out and talk nonsense; I just took a look, I didn't say anything else, just talk about the matter."

"Know, know."

The middle-aged female doctor opposite said clearly: "Must be finding a high-ranking official's child with equal status, otherwise how could the status be so high? We can all guess, no need for you to cover up."

This person curled her lips and said: "I didn't say that, I just said it didn't look right, the rest are all your random guesses, it has nothing to do with me."

"Master Yang Er at you, still afraid."

Several people in the room laughed and started teasing the first person who spoke.

Gu Ning was standing outside the door now, her complexion very ugly; she had heard these people discuss her several times, but didn't care.

But this was the first time she heard these colleagues look at her like this; she turned around and went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and when she returned to the door, the topic in the room was gone, and then she pushed the door and entered.

"Yo, Doctor Gu, congratulations."

"Yes, Doctor Gu, heard you are getting married."

"Congratulations, congratulations."

As soon as she entered the door, the colleagues who had just discussed her all smiled and congratulated Gu Ning; if she hadn't heard them at the door, she would have thought these people were so concerned about her.

"Thank you."

Gu Ning smiled perfunctorily, then sat back in her seat and started working.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing Gu Ning's expression, and started a new round of speculation in their hearts.

What else could it be, found a small partner, conditions were bad, family didn't agree, forced to break up, and then obediently married a high-ranking official's child, could that mood be good.

These people were all old comrades in the courtyard; they had seen such bridges many times, so they wouldn't guess wrong; one by one, they communicated their thoughts with their eyes, and what they got was all recognition.

Gu Ning could naturally feel the awkwardness in the room, but she chose to endure it; sometimes explanation is not the best way to solve the problem.

The best way should be to give these people an unexpected lesson, so they wouldn't dare discuss her again.

"Why withdraw money?"

Watching Lou Xiaoe saw Old Biaozi come to the door, smiled and invited him into the room, but hearing Old Biaozi say he wanted to withdraw money, she took out the account book and prepared to register.

Old Biaozi hesitated; he knew that the woman managing the account here had a relationship with Wu Ge.

Now he came here to withdraw money to prepare for the wedding expenses at Wu Ge's request, but the bookkeeping was a problem.

Should he tell the truth or make it up.

The accounts here were all registered by Watching Lou Xiaoe in a down-to-earth manner; even Wen Saner couldn't manage the accounts here.

Watching Lou Xiaoe treated financial work very seriously and earnestly; seeing Old Biaozi hesitate, she emphasized: "Without a project, I can't get on the account, and I can't withdraw money for you."

"That..."

Old Biaozi curled his lips and said: "It was Wu Ge who asked me to come and withdraw money."

"Even if he said it, there must be a project, right?"

Watching Lou Xiaoe opened the account book, picked up the fountain pen and looked at Old Biaozi and asked: "Used for what? Doing what? Withdraw how much? Tell me."

Old Biaozi had no choice; Wu Ge really didn't say what excuse to use to hide it from here, so he could only tell the truth: "That, it's Wu Ge getting married."

Watching Lou Xiaoe's hand holding the pen tightened, then stared at Old Biaozi and asked: "Say it again."

Old Biaozi smiled helplessly; what's the use of staring at him, it's not him getting married.

He had heard about this woman from his third uncle, but didn't dare to ask about the detailed situation; anyone who could get Wu Ge's trust must be no problem.

However, he didn't dare to talk about emotional matters; he could only say: "Really, Wu Ge withdrawing money is for the purpose of getting married, temporarily needing five hundred."

Watching Lou Xiaoe stared at Old Biaozi, seeing that this person didn't look like he was talking nonsense, and asked in a cold voice: "What time?"

Old Biaozi scratched his eyebrows, thinking in his heart that this woman wouldn't be ready to make trouble when the time came?

However, hiding the time was useless; after all, the distance from here to the big courtyard wasn't far, and one could inquire if one wanted to.

"May Day."

Old Biaozi blinked and told the truth: "Wu Ge said to hold the wedding on May Day."

After answering, he said to this woman called Lou Jie: "I have to hurry back, there is still a truck of goods waiting to be delivered."

Watching Lou Xiaoe looked at Old Biaozi, didn't say anything, registered in the account book, the project was marriage, followed by five hundred yuan.

Maybe it was emotional fluctuation, the original point was about to pierce the book.

After registering, she got up and went to the cabinet to get money, counted it, and handed it to Old Biaozi.

Old Biaozi got the money and wanted to say goodbye, but seeing Lou Jie's gloomy face, he hurriedly ran away.

Watching Lou Xiaoe looked at Old Biaozi's figure leaving, angrily put away the account book, locked the cabinet and the door, and followed out the big gate.

Watching Lou Xiaoe took financial work very seriously; seeing Old Biaozi hesitate, she emphasized, "Without a project, I can't record this, and I have no way to pay you."

"That..."

Old Biaozi grinned and said, "It was Brother Wu who told me to come and get the money."

"Even if he said so, there has to be a project, right?"

Watching Lou Xiaoe spread out the ledger, took a fountain pen, looked at Old Biaozi, and asked, "What is it used for? What for? How much? Tell me."

Old Biaozi had no choice; Brother Wu really didn't say to use any excuse to hide it from here, so he could only tell the truth, "That, it's for Brother Wu's wedding."

Watching Lou Xiaoe's hand holding the pen tightened, then she stared at Old Biaozi and asked, "Say that again."

Old Biaozi smiled helplessly; what was the use of staring at him? It wasn't him getting married.

He had heard his third uncle talk about this woman, but he didn't dare to ask for detailed circumstances; someone trusted by Brother Wu must be fine.

However, he didn't dare to talk nonsense about emotional matters, so he could only say, "Really, Brother Wu is getting the money for his wedding; he needs five hundred for now."

Watching Lou Xiaoe stared at Old Biaozi, and seeing that this person didn't seem to be talking nonsense, she asked in a cold voice, "When?"

Old Biaozi scratched his eyebrow, thinking in his heart, this woman wouldn't be planning to make a scene when the time comes, right?

However, hiding the time was useless; after all, this place wasn't far from the big courtyard, and one could find out by asking.

"May Day."

Old Biaozi blinked and told the truth, "Brother Wu said he's holding the wedding on May Day."

After answering, he said to this woman called Following Lou Jie, "I have to hurry back; there's still a truckload of goods waiting to be delivered."

Watching Lou Xiaoe looked at Old Biaozi and didn't say anything; she registered it in the ledger, wrote "wedding" for the project, and followed it with five hundred yuan.

Perhaps due to emotional fluctuation, the point of the pen almost pierced through the book.

After registering, she stood up, went to the cabinet to get the money, counted it, and handed it to Old Biaozi.

Old Biaozi got the money and wanted to say goodbye, but seeing Following Lou Jie's gloomy face, he hurriedly ran away.

Watching Lou Xiaoe watched Old Biaozi's figure leave, angrily put away the ledger, locked the cabinet and the door, and followed him out the big gate.
