Ye Qiao ignored him and busied herself with Hua Rui and Alex. They were going to eat hotpot tonight. Hua Rui had been abroad for the past few years and was especially hungry for all kinds of fungi from her hometown. Today, she personally went to the market to pick some of them and came back to eat hotpot. Seeing them happily eating, Ye Cheng stood there, neither angry nor happy!
A pair of piercing eyes stared at the unkempt-looking stranger!
However, he, Big Brother Ye Cheng, still had some self-awareness. He had let Hua Rui down first, so how could he have the face to kick her friend out again!
Seeing that they had sat down to make fun of him, he sat down as well.
“Brother, where are you from?” Big Brother Ye Cheng opened two bottles of beer and gave one to Alex, looking very firm.
Alex took the bottle, touched the bottle to his, and raised his head to drink.
Hua Rui looked at the two men in front of her vigilantly. Ye Qiao smiled and nudged the absent-minded Hua Rui. “Look at you! You’re so nervous!”
“I don’t know either. Wherever we go, we’re home. I’m just a vagabond!” Alex easily opened the conversation and said while drinking.
A vaganond?
He looked like a pauper!
Ye Cheng felt more at ease now!
The breeze blew on the balcony and the fragrance of the hotpot wafted through the air. The two men and two women drank wine and swigged hotpot, chatting and talking.
“Hua Rui, I miss your hometown’s Matsutake…”
“I miss it too! I plan to bring Mu Mu back to visit my mother during the New Year,” Hua Rui said with a smile. The only thing she missed about her hometown was her mother. As for her crazy father and brother, they finally got sober. After getting addicted to drugs, Ye Cheng arranged for them to work in a factory in Spring City, which was what Ye Qiao told her.
Ye Cheng had been paying attention to her mom for the past few years. He took care of her as his mother-in-law, and would send people to visit her during the New Year and the Chinese New Year. Whenever he had the chance, he would personally visit her as her son-in-law.
In Ye Qiao’s words, Ye Cheng had seen his mother and father-in-law more times than he had seen his own parents!
The Ye family was famous for not being able to drink, including Ye Cheng. After drinking two bottles of beer, his face turned red and he looked like he was about to get drunk. Ye Qiao was the same. She was already standing by the balcony railing and watching the night scene.
Hua Rui was born with a good alcohol tolerance.
Alex was also a good drinker.
“Hua Rui, do you see that area? That piece of land by the road is all mine!” Ye Qiao stood by the balcony and looked at a piece of land not far away. She spoke drunkenly as she looked at the land that she had built with her own hands. Hua Rui walked over; Alex stood by Ye Qiao’s side and also looked at it.
“Master Qiao, is that true?!”
“Of course I’m serious. Why would I lie to You? Back then, after Brother Xiao gave me all his property, I bought all the land. It was so cheap back then. What’s the price now… And in a few years, what’s the price gonna be…” Ye Qiao said with a proud smile.
Alex looked at the land that ye Qiao was talking about and narrowed his eyes. “It’s a good piece of land! Are you selling it?”
“No! I’ll keep it. After the 2008 Olympic Games, the house price will soar. Ye Qiao is gonna be so rich!” Ye Qiao threw her head back and laughed. Unfortunately, in her previous life, she had seen how the house price rose in prison.
Ye Qiao was drunk, right? How did she know that after the Olympic Games, the housing prices would soar? The housing prices were already so expensive. How else could they go up?
Hua Rui was confused, as was Alex. As if he, a homeless man, could afford it!
Ye Cheng was really drunk. Alex helped him into the side bedroom. His room, and Hua Rui’s room, had already been taken by Ye Qiao!
“Alex! Don’t you touch my man!” Hua Rui shouted when she saw Alex lying on Ye Cheng after they entered the guest room.
