Section 292 Dirty transactions (1)
After dinner, the two of them had nothing to do. Sitting there was awkward, but Xia Mingzhu turned out all Zhou Ziyan's clothes like a different person, and then washed them one by one.
In the afternoon, Le Xiaotao came back with a bad look. He looked very bad. He looked at Zhou Ziyan and didn't speak. When he met Xia Mingzhu, he felt even more hostile.
But Le Xiaotao came back and went back to his room to check it out, but he didn't say anything, but he was probably a little hungry and was rumbling in the kitchen for a while, not knowing what to find for food.
Neither Zhou Ziyan nor Xia Mingzhu dared to see Le Xiaotao. After all, both of them were still very embarrassed. They didn't dare to ask what Le Xiaotao had to eat and do, and they didn't dare to ask about it.
But after Le Xiaotao finished eating, he pouted and threw out: "So many leftovers, no one cared about throwing them here, and he didn't know how to take them out and pour them out..."
When talking about this, Zhou Ziyan felt a little regretful. He had gone out before, but he didn't expect to take the leftovers out and throw them away.
At this moment, Xia Mingzhu was also very nervous and rushed to say, "Xiao Tao, go and do these housework, let me do it..."
Le Xiaotao smiled faintly: "Actually it's nothing. I'm going out now, I'll take it out and throw it away. Sister Mingzhu, why bother so nervous! Have a good rest..."
As he said that, Le Xiaotao carried the garbage bag containing the leftovers, giggled all the way, and walked out.
Xia Mingzhu obviously wanted to keep up with Le Xiaotao, but she seemed to be worried about something and didn't dare to show it. Fortunately, Zhou Ziyan was thinking about how to deal with Xia Mingzhu's future. She was strange to Xia Mingzhu and didn't notice it at all.
After Le Xiaotao left, Xia Mingzhu sat next to Zhou Ziyan and said softly: "Ziyan, I..."
Zhou Ziyan turned his head and looked at Xia Mingzhu, sighed slightly: "After a while, I will arrange for you to go abroad. Don't worry, I will not abandon you."
"Going abroad..." Xia Mingzhu was obviously a little surprised. Xia Mingzhu's goal was to enter the Jiang family. Now, it can be said that she has basically achieved her goal. The only thing she needs to do is to wait for the opportunity, then make Zhou Ziyan's identity public, and then enter the Jiang family upright and be her own wealthy lady.
After going abroad, what's the difference between it and not being a wealthy lady from the Jiang family? So, Xia Mingzhu really has no interest in going abroad.
But Xia Mingzhu didn't dare to refuse flatly, and replied softly: "Ziyan, no matter how you arrange it, I will follow you. As long as we are together, no matter where we are, it will be the same."
After a pause, Xia Mingzhu said again: "However, in this place, we can't live anymore, so it's inconvenient to live with Xiao Tao."
Zhou Ziyan shook his head, but he did not agree with Xia Mingzhu's idea. It is indeed inconvenient to live here. At least, if Xia Mingzhu and Le Xiaotao meet each other, it is easy to spark.
The reason why Zhou Ziyan shook her head was because she was afraid that Xia Mingzhu would ask her to live in her home with her. For Zhou Ziyan, living in Xia Mingzhu's home would be a real jump into the fire pit.
"Let's go out and rent a house..." Zhou Ziyan said in a deep voice.
"Ah..." Xia Mingzhu was indeed a little surprised. Don't she have a house? She went out to rent a house and then calculated her mortgage and rent together. That would be more cost-effective.
Zhou Ziyan sighed and asked, "How much do you owe in total your mortgage and car loan?"
Xia Mingzhu replied sadly: "If nothing unexpected happens, the salary this year will basically be clear."
"Okay, we'll pay off the loan together later and then find a house." Zhou Ziyan said with a little lonely.
"Well..." Xia Mingzhu nodded slightly. After all, her family looked like that. Xia Mingzhu knew that Zhou Ziyan didn't like it, let alone Xia Mingzhu herself didn't like it either. But before she paid off the mortgage, Xia Mingzhu couldn't imagine what would happen after she left.
Zhou Ziyan proposed that he could help him pay back the loan, which was really something Xia Mingzhu could not get.
At that moment, Zhou Ziyan stood up and asked, "Can you leave now?"
Xia Mingzhu nodded shyly and stood up.
Zhou Ziyan returned to his room, opened his suitcase, found a bank card from it, thought for a while, took out the cash, carefully wrapped it, found a bag to put it out, and then came out, saying, "Let's go, this matter is going to be early."
"Well..." Xia Mingzhu nodded softly again, but when Xia Mingzhu walked around, she was still a little awkward, and she was even a little limping.
That posture is very strange, giving the veteran driver a feeling that it is definitely not caused by doing that.
But Zhou Ziyan just wanted to handle Xia Mingzhu's affairs as soon as possible, and then leave Milan Spring quickly to avoid hurting Le Xiaotao, so Zhou Ziyan would not pay attention to these things.
When he went to help Xia Mingzhu pay off his loan, Xia Mingzhu didn't drive her own car, so she asked Zhou Ziyan to drive his car, and then took Xia Mingzhu home to get a few necessary procedures.
But after Xia Mingzhu got off the car, she didn't stand firm and almost fell.
Zhou Ziyan quickly came over to support him and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xia Mingzhu blushed and replied in a low voice: "My feet hurt, can I help me up?"
Zhou Ziyan was speechless and had to carry the cash bag in one hand, hold Xia Mingzhu with the other, and go upstairs with her.
Xia Mingzhu's family, Xia Qingshan and Ran Chunxiu are both here. Liangzi goes to study and Xia Qiushi goes to practice driving. There are only two old people at home.
However, Xia Mingzhu did not return overnight last night, but Xia Qingshan and Ran Chunxiu didn't care too much. Anyway, Xia Mingzhu would disappear for one night from time to time, and the two old people were used to it and were too lazy to ask about it.
But the two old men were really excited about Zhou Ziyan's arrival.
"Oh, Xiao Zhou is here... Sit quickly... Old woman, go and pour tea..." Xia Qingshan said with a smile.
"Hey, Xiao Zhou, please sit first, I'll bring you juice now..." Ran Chunxiu quickly took out the oranges that she never took out on weekdays and entertained Zhou Ziyan.
Zhou Ziyan smiled and helped Xia Mingzhu sit on the sofa without hesitation.
It was not until this time that Xia Qingshan seemed to find something wrong, so he asked: "Daughter, you are...haha, why are you with Xiao Zhou at this time?"
Xia Mingzhu's face turned red and she quickly replied, "It's nothing. She went to Jinhuyuan to do something. She twisted her feet on the way. Zi Yan sent me back."
Although Xia Mingzhu had no choice but to lie to her parents, it immediately attracted the special attention of Xia Qingshan and Ran Chunxiu - Zhou Ziyan is here, and she is more considerate to Xia Mingzhu anyway. There is no need to say much about the reason.
When Ran Chunxiu heard that Xia Mingzhu had twisted her feet, she felt heartbroken. She quickly squatted down and insisted on seeing what Xia Mingzhu's feet were twisted. She also hugged Xia Mingzhu's feet and helped Xia Mingzhu take off her shoes and take off her socks.
This scared Xia Mingzhu. Why did she do this? Xia Mingzhu knew very well. Once she took off her shoes and socks, she would get rid of the upper part, which would cause a lot of trouble.
So, Xia Mingzhu quickly tied her legs tightly and shouted, "Mom, what do you want to do..."
Zhou Ziyan also thought that he knew what he did, so he quickly helped Xia Mingzhu to fulfill the lie and said with a smile: "Uncle Xia, Aunt Ran, Mingzhu's injury on his feet, we have seen it and examined it by the doctor. It's nothing serious. Don't worry too much, believe she will be cured soon..."
Zhou Ziyan had never called him so intimately in front of Xia Qingshan and Ran Chunxiu, which surprised Xia Qingshan and Ran Chunxiu for a while, but then he realized that there was a chance! It seems that as long as he worked harder, Zhou Ziyan's money tree could be planted in the Xia family!
At that moment, Ran Chunxiu couldn't help but let go of Xia Mingzhu's feet, her eyes narrowed into slits, and shouted: "Old Xia, hurry up, go buy some vegetables, come back, let's make dumplings with leek stuffing..."
Xia Qingshan also replied with a smile: "It's so sir..."
Assisted, he was about to go downstairs to buy vegetables, but after only two steps, he turned around and said with a charming smile: "Old woman, money... money..."
Anger suddenly rose on Ran Chunxiu's face, but for only a moment, she changed into a smiley face, took out a small bag made of handkerchief from her close body, then opened the handkerchief, generously pulled a hundred-dollar bill, handed it to Xia Qingshan, and said with a smile: "Get me back the change!"
Xia Mingzhu stopped her and said, "Dad, mom, forget it, don't go to work, I have something to discuss with you!"
When Xia Mingzhu heard what he said, Xia Qingshan quickly put the money in his pocket, then turned around, sat opposite Xia Mingzhu and Zhou Ziyan, and said with a smile: "Daughter, you want to talk about Xiao Zhou, haha, we have been looking forward to it."
Ran Chunxiu also sat next to Xia Qingshan, but said with a serious look on his face: "Daughter, Xiao Zhou, have you all considered it?"
However, Ran Chunxiu's face was serious, but she could not hide the ecstasy in her eyes.
Xia Mingzhu said lightly: "Dad, mom, I have already considered it. I will be very busy with work recently. When I come home, it is a bit noisy and has a bad rest, which affects my work. So, I decided to move out for the time being..."
"Ah..." Xia Qingshan was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking. He really didn't expect that what Xia Mingzhu said was actually about. Isn't it obvious that the whole family was clamoring for her?
But Ran Chunxiu showed a trace of disdain on her face. She knew that her daughter was better than her mother. As soon as Xia Mingzhu hit her in, Ran Chunxiu felt a little strange and refused to say that it was for Zhou Ziyan's face.
Since Xia Mingzhu has made it clear that she wants to move out, she wants to leave the family and ignore it and take Zhou Ziyan's money tree for herself. How can this be done? It is not impossible to move out, but there must be an explanation before she can leave!
"Daughter, do you know what you are talking about?" Ran Chunxiu asked with a cold face.
Xia Mingzhu nodded: "I'm about to tell you about this."
