At this time, there were many people coming and going at the gate of the community, but Xiang Huan still found Xu Jiandong waiting for her at a glance.
The second young master of the Xu family looked good, and his injured arm was no longer bandaged.
He also saw Xiang Huan crossing the road and shouted to her to pay attention to the car.
"You haven't eaten yet, what do you want to eat?"
Xiang Huan looked at the man and woman walking by. They were carrying the vegetables they had bought and were discussing what to make for dinner.
Xu Jiandong also looked at it, "If it's convenient for you, just go to my house and I'll cook you home-cooked meals."
"Your home is your dormitory." Xiang Huan thought about the distance to his bungalow dormitory and didn't really want to go there.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiandong raised his finger and pointed at the community behind him, saying that his home was just inside, just a few steps away.
"You bought a house here?" Xiang Huan followed him into the community.
Xu Jiandong's home is on the third floor, with an area of more than 80 square meters. It is very clean, but it seems that it is not often lived in.
Xiang Huan followed Xu Jiandong into the kitchen. When he saw the fresh vegetables already prepared on the counter, he asked him what he would do if he had eaten.
It’s not in vain, it would be nice to say hello earlier.
Xu Jiandong washed his hands and started chopping vegetables, "I didn't have much hope when I came to find you. If you don't come, I will just eat by myself."
Xiang Huan stood aside and watched, "I have bought a house. Are you planning to get married for the second time? Do you have a goal?"
Xu Jiandong smiled and put the shredded potatoes into cold water without commenting.
Three dishes and one soup were served quickly.
When Xiang Huan went to the bathroom to wash his hands, he remembered that he hadn't told Xiao Wu that he wouldn't be going to eat, so he picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message.
Xiao Wu didn't reply. When she sat down to eat, she received a WeChat message from Cheng Ye.
Tell her that she will pack food and send it to her room later.
Xiang Huan glanced at Xu Jiandong, who was still in the kitchen, and replied to WeChat to tell Chengye that she didn't need to worry about her when she wasn't in the hotel.
She really didn't care about that and didn't ask her where she was and what she was doing.
Xu Jiandong's cooking skills seemed to have improved a lot. Xiang Huan ate a lot and jokingly asked him if he wanted to open a restaurant in the town as a side job.
"There have been a lot of tourists coming to town since last year. It would be a good time to open a shop here." Xu Jiandong took out a tissue and handed it to Xiang Huan.
Xiang Huan wiped her mouth and said that she had discovered it while walking around town today, and even the nationwide coffee chain had opened here.
"What are you going to do when you come here?" Xu Jiandong asked proactively.
"It's not us, it's him. He wants to open a coffee shop in the town." When Xiang Huan talked about this, he couldn't help but think of the two-story abandoned building.
Xu Jiandong thought for a moment, "I heard that he was accepted by the Cheng family. Shouldn't he develop better in Lincheng?"
Xiang Huan smiled, "You are not in the Jianghu, but you know everything about the Jianghu."
Xu Jiandong also smiled.
"Let's not talk about his affairs. What are your plans? Are you really not going back to Lincheng?" Xiang Huan had been holding back the question he wanted to ask him.
"I can go back once soon. I will leave after the rainy season at the forest farm. I have some things at home that I need to take care of."
Hearing what he said, Xiang Huan remembered that he had talked with Lawyer Qu about the Xu family when he was in Dawan.
After something happened to the Xu family, everyone with a say in the family lost their freedom.
The head of the family, Xu Wei, Xu Jiandong’s father, committed suicide by jumping off a building but was rescued and fell into a coma.
Xu's eldest son, Xu Jiandong's eldest brother Xu Xingyang, was arrested after being taken away by the police.
The mess left behind is huge and difficult to clean up.
Xu Jiandong, who has never been involved in the family business, why should he go back to deal with it?
"I don't have the ability to do anything else. If you need money, don't hesitate to tell me." Xiang Huan said, picked up the phone and transferred 50,000 yuan to Xu Jiandong.
Xu Jiandong heard the phone ring, picked it up and looked at it. He was not polite to Xiang Huan and just said thank you.
After eating and drinking, Xiang Huan stood up and prepared to clear the dishes like an ordinary housewife.
During the years she and Xu Jiandong were married, she had never done this at home. Unexpectedly, now that they were divorced, she could experience a homely life.
Xu Jiandong cleaned up with her. When it came time to wash the dishes, he didn't let her do it. He was so skilled that he finished it quickly.
"Then I'll go back first. Let's meet at noon tomorrow." Xiang Huan was about to go back to the hotel.
Xu Jiandong said he would sleep here tonight, and went back after sending Xiang Huan to the gate of the community.
Xiang Huan stood at the gate of the community, thinking about taking a walk nearby before returning to the hotel. When he raised his eyes, he saw Cheng Ye walking out of the hotel.
He was alone. After he came out, he looked around aimlessly. After a while, he looked at Xiang Huan.
The two come together.
Chengye asked where Xiang Huan had gone, looking at the community when he asked.
Xiang Huan initially wanted to hide that Xu Jiandong lived in the community, but finally told Chengye and the meals she had at his house.
The rice was cooked by the second young master of the Xu family.
"He's... quite interesting." After hearing this, Narino smiled inexplicably at a lighted window in the community.
At noon the next day, Xu Jiandong arrived at the hotel where he had arranged to have dinner on time and formally met Narino for the first time.
Cheng Ye shook hands with him and said hello. He said that he had met Xu Jiandong at a small hotel in the town some time ago, but he didn't know who he was at that time.
Xu Jiandong glanced at Xiang Huan, who was standing side by side with Cheng Ye, and replied calmly that he had no impression.
Chengye twitched the corner of his mouth, asked Xu Jiandong to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea.
Xiao Wu began to liven up the somewhat unnatural atmosphere at the dinner table. He asked Xu Jiandong what he did for a living and whether he liked drinking coffee.
Xu Jiandong said that he worked as a forest lookout at a forest farm.
He said that he used to like drinking coffee in the city, but rarely drank it after arriving in the town.
Xiao Wu quickly glanced at the people present and laughed and said that he would not have to worry about it in the future. When his Ye Ge's coffee shop opens, he will have a place to drink.
Cheng Ye stared at Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu shut up, stood up and said to see how the food was doing.
Today's meal, the other two people who came with Cheng Ye did not come. When Xiao Wu left, there were only three of them left on the table.
Xu Jiandong lowered his head and took a sip of tea, looking like he had no intention of speaking.
Cheng Ye was speechless for the time being and just looked at the second young master of the Xu family who was sitting across from him, his eyes filled with content.
"Now that we all know each other, just say what you want. He will have to go back to the mountain to work later." Xiang Huan had no choice but to break the silence and remind Cheng Ye to hurry up.
Listening to her talk, the two men looked over at almost the same time.
Xu Jiandong took the initiative to speak this time, "Actually, I don't know much about things in the town. I'm basically in the forest farm and on the mountain here, so I may not be able to help you much."
When he said this, he didn't look at Chengye, his eyes stopped at Xiang Huan.
Xiang Huan turned away and looked at Cheng Ye beside him.
There was a smile on Narino's lips, "I have grown up in this town since I was a child. I don't need others to help me understand anything."
Xiang Huan pursed his lips, not knowing what kind of conversation he would hear next.
