GBP Chapter 152: Avoiding Liu Ruyan
Chapter 152: Avoiding Liu Ruyan
"You bastard, you took advantage and then ran away." Liu Ruyan couldn't help but scold him lightly. Thinking of the scene just now, she didn't care about being shy anymore.
Her eyes were blazing with fire and her teeth were clenched tightly. She despised Hou Jie in her heart: This abominable guy actually took advantage of me. He is simply a filthy hooligan!
However, despite her anger and contempt, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but think of the scene that made her heart beat faster. The bad guy's domineering and overbearing appearance made her feel an unprecedented feeling. This feeling made her feel ashamed and curious.
Liu Ruyan secretly told herself that she must find an opportunity to take revenge.
"Damn you, humph! You filthy rascal, you can run away but you can't. Just wait for me."
She gritted her teeth and said, with a gleam of determination in her eyes. She decided to let Hou Jie know that she was not easy to bully, and he must pay the price for his actions.
After leaving Liu Ruyan, Hou Jie suppressed his inner turmoil and went to find Wu Laoqi. After learning that the courtyard house had been renovated according to his requirements, Wu Laoqi handed Hou Jie a few new keys and enthusiastically told him that he could go and check the acceptance work. Hou Jie took the keys to the new house and carefully put them in his pocket.
Afterwards, Hou Jie solemnly instructed Wu Laoqi to inform his wife on his behalf that he was safe and that she should be home in two days and she need not worry about anything else.
Hou Jie came directly to the Siheyuan.
This place full of life and fireworks is inhabited by a group of ordinary people at the bottom of society. For him, this is undoubtedly the safest and most secluded haven.
He decided to hide in the courtyard for at least half a month, avoiding everyone who knew him and Liu Ruyan's sight. He knew very well that no matter how powerful Liu Ruyan was, she would never think that he would hide here.
"Is this what I am? I run away after getting into trouble. I have no sense of responsibility."
Just imagine, Hou Jie, a well-known wealthy man in Beijing, would give up his luxurious house and Meijuan and live among a group of poor people. How is that possible?
When he missed his wife, he would go to see her at night and spend time with her, thus avoiding everyone who knew him without anyone noticing.
From now on he will start to hide his shortcomings and quietly fade out of the public spotlight.
During this period, he was too aggressive and too self-aggrandizing, which attracted too much attention and spotlight, which to some extent undoubtedly brought him potential risks and crises.
He realized that excessive exposure might not only cause unnecessary trouble, but also put himself in the position of being the target of public criticism. Therefore, he decided to adopt a more low-key and humble attitude and face the challenges of life in a more peaceful and restrained way.
"If you're always wandering around, you'll get hurt. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid of death."
On the way, I bought several large beds, wardrobes, and a lot of quilts, sheets, mattresses, and everything needed for life, and threw them into the space.
Holding some rice, flour and meat in his hands, he hurried to the backyard of the courtyard.
He didn't go anywhere, and came to his house eagerly.
The house looked brand new, with red bricks, green tiles, and whitewashed walls, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding neighbors. The house was bright and clean, with a layout similar to my own two-story courtyard.
After the two rooms on the north wall of the backyard were connected, there was about 120 square meters, leaving only a gate. As the master bedroom, it was divided into a study, a living room, and three bedrooms.
The two rooms in the west wing are connected to form a 60-square-meter room. A large door is also left as a kitchen, which is used for boiling water and cooking. There is a special stove with a radiator. When it is cold, it can be used for cooking and heating. The radiator can directly raise the temperature of the entire north room. It is chilly outside, but warm inside. The other room is a bathroom for bathing and going to the bathroom. The excrement is under a cement slab outside the room, and someone can be found to clean it regularly.
The three rooms have not been changed much, with an area of 50 square meters. They are all used as storage rooms, where coal, firewood, and other sundries are stored in winter.
The only flaw is that there is no gate, which does not prevent children from playing in the yard and forming an independent little world.
"You should be content. This is a luxury house!"
Hou Jie excitedly walked around the rooms. After a while, he threw a few beds from the space into the bedroom and put other miscellaneous things in the hall.
Hou Jie came to his godmother's house with a big bag of meat noodles in his hand. Before he even entered the house, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Godmother, I'm here to see you! I'm so happy today and brought a lot of delicious food."
Although my godmother didn't like to chat in groups, she immediately came out of the house when she heard Hou Jie's voice.
Seeing Hou Jie bringing so much food again, the godmother complained: "Chunsheng, why did you bring so much food again? Didn't I tell you not to bring any? You haven't finished the last one yet!"
Hou Jie didn't take it to heart. He just smiled and said, "No big deal! The decoration is done now. Aren't you happy?"
When the godmother heard this, she nodded and suggested, "That's right, this is a good thing. Why don't you deal with it at noon today, and then in the evening, let your godfather have a drink with you and have fun. They haven't met yet!"
Hou Jie also nodded. Since he was going to live in his new home in the backyard for a few days, he would have to deal with these neighbors.
"No problem, let's make do with some lunch today. Then invite a few neighbors tonight to celebrate the housewarming and prepare a good meal."
Hou Jie didn't say anything polite to his godmother. He said casually, "Then I'll go find Master He and ask him to fix it. Godmother, call me when it's time to eat."
When the godmother heard Hou Jie say this, she replied lovingly, "I know, go ahead!"
Hou Jie walked a few steps and arrived at the door of the He family.
He knocked on the door gently, making a "dong dong dong" sound.
The door was opened by a beautiful woman. She saw Hou Jie, a strange young man, standing at the door and asked gently, "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Is this He Daqing's daughter-in-law? Judging from her temperament, she is indeed a woman who makes people feel comfortable. She is also very beautiful, and if you look closely, you can find that she has some similarities with the future Xiao Yushui.
Hou Jie responded politely: "Hello, is Master He home?"
He Daqing's wife explained in a gentle voice, "My husband is not at home. He has gone out to work and will not be back until the evening. Is there anything urgent you need?"
Hou Jie smiled and replied, "I am from the Hou family in the backyard. Our house has just been renovated, so we want to cook a sumptuous meal to entertain our neighbors. I would like to ask if Master He is free today and if he can help us cook."
Hearing this, He Daqing's wife accepted the job without hesitation. After all, this was a business deal! So, she smiled and said, "Of course I'm free! I'll immediately notify the boss and ask him to come back as soon as possible to help." After that, she turned around and left, ready to look for He Daqing.
