C40 There Could be a Burglary
Wen Xin saw that he was still looking at her and thought that he knew she was eavesdropping. She smiled awkwardly and quickly lowered her head to eat the noodles.
"What, you're not free? Big brother, I specially asked for leave. You drive... Hello? Hello?"
"Mm, the signal isn't good. I'm hanging up."
Where's the guy?
After being stood up, Sheng Qi felt depressed for a while, and then he felt warm again. After all, Old Yao didn't need anyone to accompany him since he still had a bunch of beauties waiting for him.
Seeing that the man did not leave the table after he finished eating and instead looked at her, Wen Xin felt especially uncomfortable.
After she finished the noodles, she started to clean up the bowls and chopsticks while saying, "Then I'll be going to class later."
"Your school still has classes on Saturday?"
"Ah? Today is Saturday?"
Could it be that she was confused from the fever last night? She actually forgot that today was Saturday. After rubbing her face speechlessly, Wen Xin asked, "Mr Lu, is there anything today? If not, I want to go home."
The man looked down at his watch. "It's 7: 30 now. I'll pick you up at your house at 2: 00 in the afternoon."
"Uh, okay."
Wen Xin did not dare to ask any more questions. She happily packed her things and stood in front of him with her bag on her back. "Mr Lu, I will leave now."
After the faint voice replied to her, Lu Cangyao lowered his head and continued to work on his handheld.
Wen Xin returned home and found that her uncle was actually there. She happily turned around and closed the door and said, "Uncle, see what delicious food I bought?"
After all, they were family that depended on each other. Although she was angry at him for gambling, she had already gotten used to it after so many years, so she could not hate him.
"Oh, Xin Xin is back?"
Wen Changming stuck his head out of the television and looked at her. He then compared his head to the pile of trash on the table. "Xin Xin, be good. Quickly help uncle clean up the house. You haven't been back for a few days."
She raised her eyebrows. She felt like she had been gone for a few days. It was like she was in a garbage dump.
"Uncle, you don't come back every day. How did the house become like this?"
"Eh, who knows, there might be a thief in the house."
Wen Xin was embarrassed.
There wasn't even a piece of meat in the refrigerator.
After tidying up the house, she went to the nearby market and walked around. It was already 11 o'clock and Wen Xin started to prepare lunch.
Wen Changming suddenly appeared in the kitchen and said with a smile, "You are so lucky to have such a good wife."
"Uncle, I told you that Lu Zhan and I have already broken up."
"Girl, I've heard of you. He doesn't even mind that you've been with others. Such a good boy, don't be silly."
Seeing that she did not respond to him, Wen Changming began to persuade her earnestly, "Xin Xin, although your financial backer is rich, it is not realistic for such a person to marry you. Taking advantage of your youth to quickly make money and find a good home to marry is the best way."
Slap!
Wen Xin threw the kitchen knife on the table. The veins on her forehead throbbed. "Uncle, what kind of person do you think I am? Can you have some backbone? If you don't gamble and find a good job, the two of us wouldn't be like this."
"Uh, good baby, slowly cook. Uncle won't disturb you anymore. I'll leave right away. I'll leave right away."
Every time he mentioned this question, he would run away!
Wen Xin no longer had the energy to be angry. She turned around and picked up the kitchen knife, continuing to cut the vegetables.
Hearing the strong sound of chopping vegetables, Wen Changming rubbed his head. "I don't know who this girl looks like. I'm doing this for her own good!"
After the three dishes and soup were finished, Wen Xin accompanied him to eat in silence.
Suddenly, Wen Changming said, "Xin Xin, do you have money on you? Uncle needs it."
She was silent for a while. The rice in the bowl was suddenly as hard as stone and hard to swallow. Even so, Wen Xin still sped up and stuffed it into her mouth. After she finished eating, she got up and walked to her bag.
"I only have 500 dollars on me. I'll give it all to you."
"Five hundred?" What could he do with so little money? But looking at his niece's empty wallet, Wen Changming gave her back a hundred yuan.
Wen Xin saw that he still cared about her and her eyes turned red. She heard him say, "You silly girl. If you don't have money, why don't you take it from your financial backer? He is so generous. He must be very rich, right?"
Wen Xin knew he was testing her, so she didn't say anything.
Lu Cangyao looked gentle and elegant, but he was actually a wolf by nature. A man like him should not be provoked, or he would not even know how he died.
She closed her bag and was silent for a while. Then, she looked at him seriously. "Uncle, it doesn't matter if you offend anyone. Don't think about that person. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Silly girl, don't I have you?"
It didn't make sense. Wen Xin couldn't be bothered to talk to him anymore.
There was still a little over an hour before two o'clock. She said, "I'm leaving. I still have things to do in the afternoon."
"Oh, okay, okay. Let's go. Be careful on the road."
Even though he said this, Wen Changming's expression was very strange. He touched his foot that had already removed the plaster, but it still hurt a little.
Hearing the door close, he quickly got up from the sofa and sneakily followed.
She had known her uncle for so many years. How could Wen Xin not understand him?
If she hadn't wanted to get rid of him, she wouldn't have gone out more than an hour earlier.
Wen Xin got on a bus first. She looked in the rearview mirror and saw Wen Changming calling a taxi and following her.
She sat down in silence, took out her cell phone, and began to listen to English words.
Half an hour later, the bus stopped outside a welfare institute. Wen Changming knew that Wen Xin would volunteer when she was free.
However, he did not expect that after spending so much money to take a taxi, she was only here to be a volunteer? He was so angry that his face did not look bad. He felt sorry for the money and forcefully pulled the driver to bargain, erasing the final nine dollars. The driver was also drunk.
Once Wen Changming got on the bus and left, Wen Xin, who was hiding in the welfare institute, heaved a sigh of relief and walked out again.
When she rushed back to her house, she saw that the black Maybach was already there. She rushed over and opened the door. "Sorry, sorry, I..."
"Get in the car."
Lu Cangyao frowned when he heard her panting.
Wen Xin saw that his eyes were focused on the document in her hand and felt a little relieved. Then she saw a familiar face looking at her with a gentle smile.
"Uncle De."
She did not expect Uncle De to come and pick her up today. With Uncle De around, she felt more relaxed and immediately went in.
"Hello, Miss Wen."
After greeting him, he asked, "Young Master, can we drive now?"
"Let's go."
The man's reply was still short. Wen Xin sat obediently when she saw that he was very busy. Later, she felt bored and took out her phone to play games.
She had only played for less than two minutes when a document fell on her lap. Lu Cangyao said, "If you're bored, translate it all into Mandarin."
Wen Xin picked it up in surprise and found that it was a land purchase contract. "Do you have a pen?"
He handed the pen over.
