Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

As soon as she finished speaking, the office door creaked open and a young man in a suit walked in.

His eyes swept around the office and finally fell on Chen Xueru.

When Chen Xueru saw the person coming, she frowned slightly, crossed her arms over her chest, and pouted: "Hou Jiacheng, why are you here again! Didn't Lao Zhang tell you that I have guests?"

Hou Jiacheng seemed accustomed to her cold attitude. He walked straight to the sofa and sat down.

His eyes inadvertently swept over the two He brothers and sisters sitting on the sofa beside the table. Especially when he saw He Yuzhu, he felt a little unhappy.

Hou Jiacheng quickly adjusted his mood and put on a formal smile on his face.

He looked at Chen Xueru, and seeing how she was dressed, his thoughts about her started to come to life: "Xueru, didn't I come to see you and chat with you to relieve my boredom?"

Chen Xueru snorted coldly and sneered at his nonsense: "Come on, I'll be very happy if you don't hang around in front of me. Also, we are not that familiar with each other, don't call me like that."

Hou Jiacheng continued to say shamelessly: "Xueru, how can you say that! Uncle Chen can ask me to take good care of you, for fear that you will not have a good life in the city."

Hearing this, Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows and glared at him: "Hou Jiacheng, if you say this again, leave here immediately. You are not welcome here."

Seeing that she was really angry, Hou Jiacheng quickly reached out and patted her mouth a few times: "Xue Ru, blame me for being nosy, calm down. I am your only friend in the city after all, don't be so formal."

Seeing that he still called her that, Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "What do you mean by only friend? Aren't the people sitting here my friends?"

She pointed at the two siblings from the He family who were sitting nearby.

He Yuzhu was so absorbed in watching that he almost choked when he heard this. He swallowed the coffee in his mouth and was about to speak, but Hou Jiacheng spoke first.

Hou Jiacheng glanced at the two of them with a look of disdain on his face: "When will this peasant be able to make friends with us? Xueru, you should also find a better excuse."

As soon as these words were spoken, He Yuzhu's anger was immediately ignited.

He put down his coffee cup, stood up, and shouted at Hou Jiacheng: "Sun thief, watch your words! What kind of bullshit is this? You really deserve to be punished!"

Seeing He Yuzhu getting angry, Hou Jiacheng leaned back, crossed his legs, and glanced at him provocatively: "What? You're going to hit me just because I'm right?"

When He Yuzhu saw him like this, a sense of familiarity came over him, reminding him of some people from his previous life.

The anger in his heart suddenly subsided, he shook his head and laughed: "You? My fists are hard enough, I feel ashamed to hit a weakling like you."

Hou Jiacheng felt his contempt and subconsciously stood up, wanting to get angry.

At this moment, Chen Xueru's voice suddenly rang out: "Okay, stop arguing! Hou Jiacheng, if you're okay, just leave! I still have something to discuss."

Hou Jiacheng's face flashed with anger when he heard this. He lowered his head and straightened his suit to hide his dissatisfaction.

He raised his head and looked at Chen Xueru again, with a smile on his face: "Xueru, since you have something to do, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Chen Xueru refused mercilessly: "Don't come tomorrow, I have something to do too."

Hou Jiacheng's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and turned to look at He Yuzhu, with a provocative tone: "Doesn't this so-called friend have a name?"

"You and I are not friends. Why are you still looking for trouble?" He Yuzhu picked up the coffee cup again, drank the coffee, and didn't even raise his head.

Hou Jiacheng chuckled and ignored He Yuzhu. He turned his gaze to Chen Xueru: "Xueru, I'll leave first."

He opened the door, strode out of the silk shop, and looked up at the store.

Huang Wu, the follower who was waiting on the roadside, saw Hou Jiacheng coming out and hurriedly greeted him: "Master, what do you want?"

Hou Jiacheng looked at Huang Wu with a deep gaze and said, "Wait here until a tall man with a little girl shows up. Find out who he is."

"Master, don't worry!" Huang Wu nodded and agreed.

Hou Jiacheng nodded with satisfaction and strode away.

In the office, as Hou Jiacheng left, the atmosphere began to become relaxed.

Chen Xueru rubbed her brows, let out a sigh, and looked at He Yuzhu and the others apologetically: "I'm so sorry about what happened today!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and interrupted her: "Didn't you say we are friends? There is nothing to be sorry about."

Yu Shui walked up to her, took her hand, and agreed, "Yes! Sister, please don't frown, it doesn't look good!"

Chen Xueru reached out and pulled Yu Shui's little face, and instantly laughed out loud.

"Oh! Sister, why are you like this?" Yu Shui broke free from her clutches, ran to sit on the sofa beside her, rubbing his face and looking at her resentfully.

"Okay, okay! I won't do this again next time!" Chen Xueru looked at the time on her watch. "I'll take you out for lunch as an apology, okay?"

Yu Shui immediately clapped his hands and cheered, "Great! But we have to find a good place, otherwise it won't be as delicious as my brother's!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru recalled the dishes she had eaten at Emei Restaurant, which were indeed delicious.

He Yuzhu was listening on the side, silently praising the rain in his heart, thinking that the assist was not in vain.

Seeing a thoughtful look on Chen Xueru's face, he suggested, "How about I make lunch for us and we can eat together."

When Chen Xueru heard his proposal, she subconsciously nodded in agreement.

It was too late to regret when I came to my senses. After thinking about it, I realized that I didn't hate him that much, so I didn't say anything to regret it.

"I'll call Aunt Feng first, and we'll be back soon. It's quite a distance from here."

After Chen Xueru finished speaking, she stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the phone on the desk and started dialing.

"Hello! Aunt Feng, it's Xueru! Have you prepared lunch?"

She paused for a moment, and after hearing the reply from the other end, she continued, "Then you cook the rice, I'll cook when I bring my friends back later."

After hearing the reply, Chen Xueru hung up the phone and smiled at the two of them, "Done! Let's go!"

The three of them walked out of the store while chatting and laughing, and this scene was seen by Huang Wu who was guarding in the corner.
