Lu Qing was at a loss; she didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Sister, stop hiding, let's talk."

Mu Jiaojiao was filled with impatience, but she remained calm on the surface and spoke with a smile.

Lu Qing knew, of course, that if she opened the door for her, things would definitely not end well.

Without thinking, she turned around and ran towards the back door, but the back door had already been blocked by the people Mu Jiaojiao brought.

Seeing that someone was blocking the back door, Lu Qing was extremely anxious and took out her phone to call the police.

But then she thought, she herself is a wanted criminal, and calling the police now would be like walking into a trap; the Zhou family would definitely kill her.

But if she falls into Mu Jiaojiao's hands, she might not die.

If she has the chance to contact Shen Xuwen, she still has a glimmer of hope.

Thinking this, she sighed, knowing that this was inevitable, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and open the door.

Mu Jiaojiao strode into the room, fanned herself with a fan, and said with disdain, "Little sister, why are you living in such a dirty and messy place?"

"I'll take you to a different environment. You're not fully recovered yet, so don't be so willful."

"Why did you run off without even saying goodbye? Do you know how worried I was about you? If my home wasn't in Harbin, it would have been really hard to find you."

Lu Qing felt a surge of resentment; how come Mu Jiaojiao had never mentioned that she was from Harbin?

If she had known, she wouldn't have come here at all. She would have gone to another city instead, and Mu Jiaojiao wouldn't have been able to find her so quickly.

But there's no going back in life, so the two sat down facing each other.

Lu Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Jiaojiao, I've thought about it and I can't keep being a burden to you. I'm almost fully recovered, so I want to live on my own."

"It was my mistake to leave without saying goodbye, I hope you won't hold it against me."

Mu Jiaojiao continued to smile, knowing that this woman didn't want to go back with her and was just saying these things on purpose.

She decided to stop beating around the bush with Lu Qing and directly presented her with the list of medical expenses incurred during Lu Qing's hospitalization, as well as the costs of medication and hiring a caregiver after her discharge.

She said coldly, "Look for yourself, how much money have you spent on us during this time?"

Lu Qing glanced at it casually and found that there was actually 4 yuan.

She felt her mind go blank; she didn't even have 4000, let alone 4.

So she said helplessly, "Sister Jiaojiao, I'm having some difficulties right now. Once I've recovered, I'll definitely earn money as soon as possible and pay you back."

Mu Jiaojiao snorted coldly: "How are you going to pay it back? It's not that I look down on you, but this amount of money is an astronomical figure for you, right?"

Lu Qing bit her lip. Although Mu Jiaojiao's words sounded harsh, they were the truth.

That amount of money is an astronomical sum for her; she may never be able to pay it back in her lifetime.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Lu Yang again; that guy had nothing when the family divided their assets.

But Lu Yang can easily come up with four million, let alone forty thousand.

The thought of this made her feel so angry that she almost vomited blood.

At that moment, Lu Yang was indeed negotiating a business deal worth 400 million.

Qian Jianyun approached him to invest in real estate, as Qian Jianyun had already secured a plot of land through bidding.

All the formalities have been completed, and the construction team has been found. Now we are just waiting for the funds to arrive so that construction can begin.

He planned to contribute 1000 million yuan himself, Lu Yang would contribute 400 million yuan, and the rest would be financed through a loan.

After the two signed the contract, Qian Jianyun took Lu Yang to the construction site.

This land is located at the border of Guangzhou and the neighboring city, so the location isn't exactly ideal.

However, Qian Jianyun had learned through inside sources that a subway would be built in the vicinity soon, making transportation convenient.

As long as transportation is convenient, housing prices will naturally rise.

That's why he had to go through some trouble to get the land.

"Back then, there was another guy surnamed Han who was competing with me for this land. That guy was in the same circle as us, but he was an illegitimate child."

The person Qian Jianyun mentioned was naturally Han Bingcheng, but it was clear that Qian Jianyun didn't have a good impression of him.

Lu Yang couldn't help but wonder: "I just heard at the club a while ago that Han Bingcheng was going to partner with someone to build an amusement park in this city. Why is he getting involved in real estate?"

Qian Jianyun was not surprised at all: "No one would put all their eggs in one basket."

"Since there's an opportunity to do other businesses, I'll certainly give it a try."

Lu Yang didn't find this strange at all. He nodded and said absentmindedly, "So when do we start? I think everything is almost ready."

Qian Jianyun smiled and said, "Since you've signed the contract, I plan to start work tomorrow."

"You should also come to the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow. Many people in the south believe in this, and they definitely have to offer prayers before the groundbreaking ceremony."

Lu Yang knew a little about this kind of thing, so he quickly said, "I will definitely be there tomorrow."

The two chatted about engineering matters for a while before having dinner with a group of people from the construction team.

By the time the social engagements were over, it was almost dark.

He went home by himself and lay in bed with a headache.

He now misses the days when Yao Lili was by his side. Before, when he had a headache, Yao Lili would bring him hangover tea.

Now he can only call and ask the restaurant downstairs to cook him a bowl and send it over.

The next morning, he arrived at the construction site early, but to his surprise, Qian Jianyun arrived even earlier than him.

At that moment, Qian Jianyun was chatting with the project manager. When he saw him coming, Qian Jianyun immediately smiled and waved to him.

Lu Yang quickly ran over and greeted the person in charge.

“Li Rushan and I are old friends. This is my first time doing a project, and I don’t feel comfortable asking anyone else, so I can only ask Brother Li for help.”

Qian Jianyun spoke with sincerity, but Lu Yang didn't think he would be friends with someone like that who was in the engineering field.

Qian Jianyun is a very proud and arrogant person, but after all, he grew up in that kind of family, so he has a high emotional intelligence, which is something most people wouldn't be able to tell.

At least Li Rushan didn't notice. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely handle this project perfectly for you."

Lu Yang echoed his sentiments for a few moments, and the three chatted for a while before it was time for the groundbreaking ceremony.

They walked quickly to the altar that had been set up beforehand, with the three of them standing at the front, followed by a group of construction workers.

Each person held three incense sticks in their hands, and while arranging them, they chanted, "May the project be blessed with good weather and abundant harvests."

Lu Yang didn't care much about such ceremonies, but since Qian Jianyun insisted on holding one, he could only cooperate.

By the time the ceremony was over, it was almost noon.

We had lunch together and set off a series of firecrackers before the ceremony finally ended.

Lu Yang stayed at the construction site for three days and found that there was nothing for him to do.

Qian Jianyun had already arranged everything, so he went home and checked his overflowing inbox.

Scrolling to the bottom, I found a letter from Li Xingran.
