Zhao Laidai had no chance to find Du Feiyang again. The bodyguards patrolled in shifts, preventing her from getting close. She could only glare at him resentfully. Du Feiyang couldn't be bothered. Women were indeed scary, so scheming at such a young age; what would she become when she grew up?
Because of this incident, Zhao Sanwang's family was also looked down upon by the villagers. However, they were thick-skinned and didn't care. Although Zhao Laidai didn't continue her studies, she didn't stay at home either. She stole all the money from home and ran away.
This was something Xie Mu mentioned later. Xie Sui had already forgotten about this person.
However, this incident also served as a reminder. His status was different now. He had proactively sought to stand at the peak and get along with everyone in an approachable manner, which was no longer possible.
In his previous life, he had been in high positions for many years, and anyone who wanted to meet him had to make an appointment. At that time, he felt lonely and indifferent, lacking any human touch. His daily schedule was fixed, monotonous, and tedious.
Thinking about it now, it was unavoidable. If everyone could see him, and he had to deal with trivial matters every day, he wouldn't be able to get any real work done.
The arrival of the bodyguards created a distance between Xie Sui and the villagers, but it also brought peace.
He stayed at home until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. The factory was to resume work, and preparations had to be made in advance for the construction site. Xie Sui and Du Feiyang bid farewell to their parents and grandmother and headed back to the county town.
Wu Linlin and Xie Chen also hitched a ride with them back to the county town to pay their respects to their in-laws and planned to stay for a period.
Xie Chen had originally wanted to buy a house in the county town, but there were no commercial housing units available yet, so he had to temporarily give up the idea.
Including the bodyguards, there were four or five cars, a rather impressive convoy.
The villagers gathered to watch. Anyone who wanted to approach Xie Sui to chat had to get his nod before the bodyguards would allow them.
Some said he had become rich and forgotten his fellow villagers, though their tone was sour, filled with more jealousy.
Everyone understood that this was caused by the Zhao family. Xie Sui wasn't like this before.
The village chief timidly came to bid him farewell. Xie Sui naturally let him approach and speak. The village chief was concerned about the road construction and the sponsorship for the children's education. Xie Sui said, "Uncle Village Chief, don't worry. I will definitely do what I promised.
Not only that, but I will also arrange for two buses to connect the village and the county town, making it more convenient for everyone to travel to the city in the future.
These matters will be handled by dedicated personnel, so please rest assured."
"That's good. I'll be back for the Lantern Festival. The village has a Shehuo performance and a Lantern Mountain, it's very lively."
"Alright, I will be back. Everyone, go back. Goodbye. If you need anything, call me. My parents have the number.
Uncle Village Chief, please have a phone installed in the village later. The village will only get better and better."
"Okay, thanks to you. As for Zhao Sanwang's family, don't worry, I will keep them in check."
Xie Sui nodded but didn't pay much attention. He felt the village chief couldn't do it. Things were different now. In the past, you needed introductions to leave, and people were more confined to the village.
Now, it was much easier to leave. If you restricted people's freedom of movement, they could go to the county to complain.
However, after this incident, if the Zhao family was sensible, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble for him.
They would definitely curse him behind his back, but Xie Sui didn't care. Wouldn't a businessman be cursed?
Back in the county town, Lin Wanwan tidied up the rooms. Staying in the village was good, but it wasn't as convenient as the county town. Su Dan Novel Network.
Doudou and Dingding also had homework to do. After playing wildly for a few days, it was time to buckle down.
Unlike Xie Sui when he was a child, who cried about not wanting to write, the two children were taught very well by Lin Wanwan. They completed their homework according to a plan every day before going out to play, which made Xie Sui very gratified.
He bragged to Du Feiyang, "When marrying a wife, you must marry someone like my Wanwan. She takes good care of the household and teaches the children well. Celebrities and socialites are not even one-tenth as good as my Wanwan."
Lin Wanwan retorted, "You don't need to flatter me. Why are you saying this? Feiyang, don't mind him, he just likes to talk nonsense."
"No, I think Brother Xie is absolutely right. Sister-in-law is indeed the smartest, most virtuous, and most capable woman I've ever met.
It's a pity that I don't have such good fortune to marry such a good wife."
"You and Hu Pan seemed to be getting along well? She's a university student, and her family is from a mayor's background, so it's a good match. You could try."
Du Feiyang said, "I'm not a patient person. If someone is right in front of me, I can pursue them for a while. If I can't see them, I'll forget about them."
Xie Sui was speechless. This was a case of fickle affection!
Forget it, don't let Hu Pan jump into this fire pit.
Lin Wanwan said, "Actually, a couple needs to be together all the time. It's a habit. No matter how deep the feelings, they can't withstand years of separation. If you're not around, someone else will always take your place."
"Sister-in-law, you've spoken brilliantly. That's indeed the case."
Hu Pan also returned to work and asked as she entered, "What are you chatting about? It seems so lively!"
"We were talking about you. You're here just in time."
"No way? What were you saying about me?"
"We were saying you're beautiful, capable, smart, and cultured. I wonder which lucky guy will get you? Have you gone home? Haven't your parents urged you to get married?"
Hu Pan's face fell, "Of course, they have. I really don't understand why they're forcing me to get married. I've studied for so many years, and I've finally graduated, ready to show my abilities. They want me to get married and have children? Then all my years of study would be in vain!"
Du Feiyang said obnoxiously, "If you marry me, I definitely won't force you to have children. Even if you have children, I'll support whatever you want to do. The children can be looked after by a nanny, or I can personally take care of them."
Xie Sui and Lin Wanwan burst into laughter. This guy's thick skin always managed to set new lows.
Hu Pan didn't laugh. She asked seriously, "Are you serious?"
"Of course. Girls from our Hong Kong City still work after marriage. Many wives help manage companies. No one is a housewife looking after children at home. The Du family has over a dozen nannies, so you won't be tired.
You just need to give birth. If you're afraid of pain, you can have a C-section. I'll handle the rest. If I weren't a man and couldn't give birth, I'd even do that for you."
"Pfft."
Xie Sui spat out a mouthful of tea, "Are you serious? Don't fool Pan'er. Pan'er will take it seriously. Besides, I'm also Pan'er's elder brother, and I'm on her side, not yours!"
"Of course, I can swear," Du Feiyang raised his hand and swore, "If I say anything false, may I die a terrible death and be fed to the fish in the sea.
I truly envy how good Brother Xie and Sister-in-law's relationship is, having two children and a lively home. I will learn from Brother Xie how to love my wife and children."
Hu Pan said, "Okay, I promise you. Come home with me. We'll get married this year."
Lin Wanwan's eyes widened, "No, Pan'er, don't be rash. Marriage is not a joke."
