Chapter 009 Painter

Under Dong Xiaokui's gaze, the boy immediately thought that his judgment had been wrong, so he became nervous and hurriedly urged the other boy to walk upstairs quickly.

The other boy didn't notice the embarrassment of his classmate, and while walking, he looked back at Dong Xiaokui, and asked in a low voice, "How can you determine that she is here to find Teacher Li?" ”

Dong Xiaokui also wanted to know the answer, so she pricked up her ears and waited for the boy's answer. But he didn't speak, just lowered his head, carried the basketball hoop up to the second floor, and turned the stairs.

Dong Xiaokui walked upstairs again and stood still around the corner. Depending on the human psyche, the answer to a question is often revealed when they think it might be safe.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, the boy who was waiting for the answer said impatiently, "Hey, you smoked?" What do I ask you? Why did you suddenly say that the woman was here to find Teacher Li? ”

The boy bent down and put the basket, took out the key to open the door of the sports equipment room, and then whispered: "A few days ago, I went to clean the art room, and Mr. Li went to make tea. I saw a picture he was drawing, and the woman in the painting looked a lot like the woman he had just done. So, I just ——, forget it, and it seems that I have made a mistake. ”

Is the person in Mr. Li's painting himself, or is it someone who looks like himself? In any case, you have to meet this person. See if it's your own suspicions.

If it's really him, I really don't know how to face him.

That day, the lonely back of his departure was like a thorn in her heart, and when she remembered that moment, she was faintly sad.

She wanted to go up and ask where Teacher Li lived, but she felt that it was too reckless. So he turned around and walked out of the school.

The July sun poured down and had a scorching meaning. Knowing that he spared no effort, there was no one on the dangling rope bridge. She held on to the ropes of the bridge, the rusty ropes were a little hot, and paced slowly, in the July sun.

When I got home, my mother had already set the meal, Dong Xiaohuai just came out of the shower, sat down at the table to eat, and asked, "Sister, where did you go?" I was just saying I'm going to look for you. ”

"Went to the school and walked around." Dong Xiaokui grilled rice, fresh bracken, with a smooth and tender touch, very sweet.

"Did you see the basketball game?" Dong Xiaohuai's voice raised an octave, and he was very interested.

"No, you know I've never liked it." Dong Xiaokui replied and continued to pull rice.

Dong Xiaohuai said very regretfully: "It's a pity that there is a teacher competition today. ”

"The Yunlai teacher basketball team has always been the master of abstention, what is there to see." Dong Xiaokui said that thinking about introducing Dong Xiaohuai to say that the change of this teacher team is always about this Teacher Li.

"Sister, you study well. Always know the phrase 'Shibei should be impressed for three days', right? Dong Xiaohuai asked very proudly.

"Nature." Dong Xiaokui ate slowly, waiting for Dong Xiaohuai's next words.

Sure enough, Dong Xiaohuai didn't even care about eating, and his eyebrows danced. said that Mr. Li had been here for more than a month to replace the art teacher who had been in a car accident before. This teacher has standard Mandarin, is also handsome, and teaches art well. And the most important thing is to play basketball well.

"Sister. You don't know, my technique was all instructed by him, and a few words made people break down. It's amazing. Dong Xiaohuai said that later, he was all worshipping.

Dong Xiaokui put the bowl down, and while helping her mother clean up the table, she asked, "You said that there is nothing in heaven and on earth." Anyway, I'd like to see this guy. What is his name and where does he live? ”

When Dong Xiaohuai heard this, he was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister, you are embarrassed for this ——,." Because of Mr. Li's name, we don't know the whole school. He didn't introduce himself either. We don't want to ask. As for the residence, he lives in the old house of Mr. Zhang, who used to teach history in elementary school at the end of the back street. Ms. Zhang retired last year and went to Shanghai to follow her son. So the house was sold, and somehow, it seemed that Mr. Li had sold. ”

"Oh, it's free, look at this person. It actually made my little acacia admire. Dong Xiaokui smiled. Originally, she thought that Dong Xiaohuai at least knew the other party's name.

"Come on, you still don't want to go. Don't you know, there are many little girls who love Teacher Li, and if you want to go, you originally watched the excitement, but you were classified as admirers. Where do you let Brother Jiachuan's face go? Dong Xiaohuai shrugged, made tea on the side, said seriously, and then suddenly asked: "Brother Jiachuan hasn't come back for many years, why didn't he come back with you this time?" ”

Dong Xiaokui was washing the dishes, listening to this. couldn't help but stare at it, paused, and said, "His company is busy and has no time." ”

"I don't have time, I should come back with you. Don't look at what you're facing when you come back this time. Dong Xiaohuai said with some dissatisfaction.

When my mother walked in from outside, she happened to hear Dong Xiaohuai's words, and immediately reprimanded: "Xiaohuai, you haven't learned anything." Will you learn to stir up trouble? ”

Dong Xiaohuai pursed his lips and said, "It was meant to be." ”

"You still say? As a man, the first thing is to solve any difficulties, not to talk about people's strengths. "Mom was very angry.

Dong Xiaokui saw that something was wrong, and immediately persuaded her mother, which avoided the unhappiness of her mother and Xiaohuai. After such a toss, it is past one o'clock, and it is close to the agreed time of the contracting party.

Dong Xiaokui immediately rode a bicycle out. It was early afternoon, and the sun was so hot that she was sweating profusely, but she didn't feel hard at all, and if the wanton sweat and the burning of the sun could make things easier, it would be worth it.

She pursed her lips tightly and rode her bicycle to Hexiangdu, without going to the ancestral hall first. Instead, I went to the old mansion first. There was no one in the old house. She was a little tired, so she sat on the gravel steps, looking sideways at the deep alley, the sunlight in the patio over there, and some unreal images, like a passing old time.

She was tired, and she didn't have any idea about what was going to happen. The only rule is to stall for time, even if it is a little bit of time.

But since the other party has made a move, I'm afraid it will be in vain to delay time. She couldn't help but get irritable, holding the phone hesitantly.

Originally, she was not a person who couldn't hold back, but Hengzhi felt uneasy, and finally called Chen Jun.

The phone kept ringing, but Chen Jun didn't answer. Usually, at most four rings, Chen Jun would pick it up and ask her in a deep voice what she commanded. The phone stopped, and Dong Xiaokui called again. It kept ringing, and no one answered.

Dong Xiaokui stood up suddenly, feeling uneasy. At this moment, she suddenly regretted it: Fang Cai obviously knew that the other party was a powerful character, and let Chen Jun continue to do this.

Jun Chen, don't let anything happen to you. If something happens to you, I will not only be sorry for you, but I will also cause unnecessary trouble to Xu Shao.

But what should I do?

Dong Xiaokui paced around the yard with the phone, like ants on a hot pot. After walking a few laps, he stomped his feet fiercely and said to himself: "You must not sit still." ”

Yes, it's not her style to sit back and wait. This must be dealt with. At least it can't affect Chen Jun, and it can't make Xu Er feel the slightest bit embarrassed in the family.

However, the one who can control the other party must be someone of the same weight as him. Xu Er knows a handful of these people. And it seems that the only person he knows is Xu Er, Li Yongfeng, by the way, there is also Ye San.

Now, Xu Er is gone. Then, you can only rely on Li Yongfeng and Ye San. However, there is no phone number for them.

Dong Xiaokui frowned, called Dong Xiaohuai first, and said, "You go and find your teacher Li immediately and ask him if his name is Li Yongfeng." If so, say that Dong Xiaokui is in a hurry to find him. ”

Dong Xiaohuai asked in a daze, "Sister, what are you talking about?" ”

"Nonsense, go ahead, here's a big deal." Dong Xiaokui didn't let Dong Xiaohuai be verbose, and hung up the phone directly after speaking. After thinking about it for a while, he called the other side of the river, and as soon as the phone was connected, the other side of the strait lazily said "Hey", and Dong Xiaokui asked with a face: "Do you have the phone number of Ye San's slut?" ”

The other side of the strait was stunned for a while before asking, "Don't worry, did you smoke?" I don't share the sky with that slut. What should I do with his phone number? ”

"I need this man's help with something, if you have one, tell me." Dong Xiaokui asked directly.

"Phew, you're lying to me, you're answering me, aren't you?" Said unhappily on the other side.

"Alright, forget it if you don't. I'll call you another day, and now it's urgent. Dong Xiaokui hung up the phone, thought about it a little, and dialed Yuyao's phone. Yuyao answered the phone, very noisy, saying that he was watching Jacky Cheung's concert, and asked loudly: "Xiaokui, what's the matter with you?" Why don't I call you after the concert? ”

Phew, this daylight concert is really the god of songs. Unique.

"Yuyao, do you have Ye San's phone number?" Dong Xiaokui asked loudly. Yu Yao kept shouting over there: "What are you talking about? ”

After such repeated conversations, Dong Xiaokui finally gave up. Then instead text and after a while, receive a reply with a phone number. Dong Xiaokui called, and after three rings, it was picked up by an extremely polite woman's voice, asking, "Hello, who are you looking for." ”

Dong Xiaokui originally thought that Ye San was answering the phone, but he opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Ye Haoming." ”

The woman said politely, "I'm sorry, Sanshao is not here." Then I didn't ask if I had anything to convey, and just hung up the phone.

Dong Xiaokui lowered her eyes, stood in place, looked at the shadow cast by the eaves, and let out a long breath, she was really tired, and she just wanted to sit down on the black wooden chair. The knocker rang, and then saw the uncle helping the third grandfather in, Dong Xiaokui immediately stood up straight and shouted "Third grandfather".

The third grandfather looked at her and said, "Xiaokui, the person who bought the house is here, and it's over there in the ancestral hall." ”

"Hmm. I'm going to meet this man. Dong Xiaokui smiled at the third grandfather.

The third grandfather was embarrassed, and he stopped talking. Dong Xiaokui naturally saw it in his eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it and walked straight out of the house.

As soon as he walked past the third grandfather, he shouted: "Xiaokui, the third grandfather is sorry for you." The Dong family actually wants you to carry this matter. ”

Dong Xiaokui paused, smiled, and said, "I am also a member of the Dong family." ”

Leaving these words and continuing to walk, the third grandfather coughed sharply and shouted Dong Xiaokui to wait. Dong Xiaokui waited for a while, he eased up, and then said, "Xiaokui, if you really can't do it, don't be reckless." After all, it's enough to have this heart. We are all family, understandable. ”

This is a way out for her, Dong Xiaokui naturally knows. However, now this is no longer the Dong family's business, but a duel between her and the person who is hidden in the shadows. Therefore, he is afraid that the other party will not allow her to retreat, and if she retreats, he will want to force her later. When the time comes, more innocents will be harmed. Then, just this time, it is best to force the other party to show his true body.

"Thank you, Third Grandpa." Dong Xiaokui replied. Then walk towards the ancestral hall. In the process of walking towards the ancestral hall, he called Chen Jun again, but he still did not answer the phone. At this time, she couldn't worry about Chen Jun's safety, and she couldn't be distracted by this. So I tried not to think about it, but called Dong Xiaohuai, and heard Dong Xiaohuai panting and saying, "Teacher Li is not here." ”

"You've got to dig three feet into the ground for me." Dong Xiaokui ordered, and then hung up the phone. Strode into the ancestral hall.

As soon as I turned the wall, I saw that there were black wooden chairs and coffee tables in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and there were six or seven people sitting, dressed very professionally, and sitting in the guest seat was a woman with broken hair in professional clothes.

The woman had short hair, a small face, and a pair of smart eyes. At this moment, he is holding the lid of the tea bowl and smelling the fragrance of tea, with slender fingers, and he is full of grace when he raises his hand.

Dong Xiaokui looked at her and was stunned in place. Because she had seen this woman. At that time, it was this woman who put a band-aid on her, and kept telling her to clean up the wound, and said that someone had left a scar on her fingertips without paying attention to the small wound.

When the third uncle saw Dong Xiaokui coming, he immediately said to the woman, "Boss Zhou, that's our patriarch." ”

The woman turned around, was also stunned, and said, "It's you?" ”

Dong Xiaokui walked over slowly, stood on the main seat, and then saluted the guests, and said with a smile: "Yes, I am the patriarch of the Dong family." Thank you Miss Zhou for that day. ”

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Fate is really a wonderful thing, I didn't expect that we would meet in such a way on such an occasion." ”

"So you know each other, so it's easy to do." The third uncle was very happy on the side.

Dong Xiaokui ignored it, just looked at the woman, smiled faintly, and said, "Fate is also innate and acquired." Innate gift is a coincidence of the right time, place and people. The acquired is just the result of the acquired efforts. ”

The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at Dong Xiaokui, put the tea bowl down, and said, "Miss Dong's words are full of philosophy, no wonder I can lead this century-old family, I was just born in a merchant family, and I don't understand so much." Therefore, I can only talk to Miss Dong about business. ”

As she spoke, she reached out to the man next to her, who immediately opened his briefcase and pulled out a stack of papers.

Dong Xiaokui sat on the main seat and looked at the woman with half-squinted eyes. Very young woman, listening to the accent from the capital.

Coming all the way to buy such a dilapidated house in a place where there are many ancient houses in Shuzhong, this is really strange. It seems that the person behind her should be the person who has been manipulating Dong Xiaokui's life in the past few years.

Today, I have to get to know this woman well and probe the bottom of the other party.

The woman looked at the information in her hand, and then asked the man to hand it to Dong Xiaokui, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, your patriarch was not Miss Dong, and today I want Miss Dong to take a closer look at this contract." ”

Dong Xiaokui took the information, just glanced at it, didn't look at it carefully, and said, "I've been studying abroad." There are some things that will be handled by the acting patriarch, but the patriarch has the final say on major matters. ”

"The law of the great family is strict. Today I saw it with my own eyes. The woman smiled, her eyes like a crescent moon.

Dong Xiaokui's face was calm, and he didn't say anything about the house, but asked: "Boss Zhou, it is said that you are doing development." And the Dong family has been on this land for generations. So, I'd like to know what you're going to do with this without involving your company secrets. ”

"A recuperative pastoral villa." The woman sat upright in a different position and smiled.

Dong Xiaokui stood up, put the contract on the table, and said, "Very good idea." But unfortunately, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish. ”

"You want to break the contract?" The woman's voice was calm, not surprised at all, as if she had known that Dong Xiaokui would not agree to buy a house.

"We also want to sell to you, save trouble. It's a pity that I have no choice but to do it. Dong Xiaokui's face was embarrassed.

"What do you mean by that, Miss Dong?" The woman's face turned cold.

Dong Xiaokui said with a regretful face: "It's also to blame that I didn't explain this matter to the clansmen clearly, this house has long been owned by the state, how can the country's protected cultural relics be bought and sold." ”

The woman's face changed suddenly, she sneered, and said, "Miss Dong, you'd better read the contract clearly." Besides, if you don't tell you about these things in advance, you're cheating. A deposit is one thing; On the other hand, the delay in the investment time of my company has caused huge losses, and this part is estimated, and I will quote Miss Dong. When the time comes, I am afraid that your house will be given to me, and I will not be able to afford it. ”

After the woman said that, she had already stood up, waved her hand to signal the person next to her to leave, and took the lead to walk out the door. While saying, "Tomorrow, my lawyer will personally hand over the detailed compensation report to you." ”

"Aren't you blatant blackmailers?" The third uncle said loudly.

The woman paused, turned to look at the third uncle, and said, "In business, this is the rule, if you don't understand the rules, you will naturally accept failure." ”

Dong Xiaokui nodded approvingly, and said loudly to the woman who walked out: "Miss Zhou, I won't talk to you about this house." ”

The woman paused, glanced at Dong Xiaokui, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"I'm only going to talk to your boss so that he can come to see me with some sincerity." Dong Xiaokui said directly.

The woman glanced at her and said, "I don't have a boss because I am." ”

These words naturally made Dong Xiaokui speechless, but fortunately, she won a period of time. At present, the only hope is that the person in Yunlai Town is Li Yongfeng, or Chen Jun is all safe, but he is still running, and at that moment, it is just inconvenient to answer the phone.

At this time, the people of the Dong family all gathered around, chattering, as if they were facing a great enemy. There are also some people who blame Dong Xiaokui, saying that she is a demon moth.

Dong Xiaokui only felt a headache, waved his hand, and said, "Let's disperse." I will handle this matter myself, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation. ”

As she spoke, she strode out of the depressing ancestral hall. She had never been so depressed, so chaotic. Because, she found that for the first time, she handed over the future to chance, to luck, to fate.

(Recently, I've been feeling unwell.) Woman, not much to explain. However, pink is not powerful. ）......
