Gu Jia frowned and asked in confusion.
"Boss Xu was drawing blueprints in the office, and Li Ke happened to be working overtime at the company, so he went along. I don't know the details, so you can ask the company's people when you have time!"
"Oh, thank you for your help, Chen Xu. Everyone has been working overtime these days. You've worked hard. Go to bed early!
"It's not hard, it's all I deserve. Goodbye, Sister Jia!"
"goodbye?"
Gu Jia nodded, hung up the phone, then glanced at Xu Huanshan in the bedroom, and couldn't help but feel wary of Li Ke.
Originally, she thought that as long as she gave Li Ke a beating, she would give up, but now it seems that is not the case. Instead, she is getting even more aggressive.
But this is not a bad thing. Since the contract with President Wan was not concluded last night, he can use this as a reason to fire Li Ke. This way, he can let her leave Xu Huanshan and let President Wan see his sincerity.
Of course, Gu Jia was also a little disappointed and puzzled at this time. She didn't understand why Xu Huanshan brought Li Ke with him.
Could it be that he really couldn't see Li Ke's intentions, or did he have other ideas!
Besides, Xu Huanshan really didn’t know the seriousness of the matter. What was the point of bringing Li Ke to the banquet on such an occasion?
.....................
In the same building, on the 20th floor of Grand Hyatt Residence, Zhong Xiaoqin and Wang Manni have become good friends after this dinner.
Moreover, Zhong Xiaoqin was somewhat envious of Wang Manni, envying her ability to live alone, an experience she had never had before.
When she was in school, her parents were worried about her living alone, so she went to university in Shanghai. After graduating from university, she got married and found a job.
Hearing her words, Wang Manni said in a sad tone:
"Xiaoqin, don't be so ungrateful. If you have a choice, who would want to travel thousands of miles away from home?"
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Manni. I've never lived alone away from home, so I feel a little emotional!
But you finally have a happy ending after all the hardship. You are now Mr. Han's girlfriend and live in such a nice house with so many rooms. You can bring your parents over later!"
Wang Manni looked longingly at the night view outside through the glass, smiled and said, "My parents are used to living in their hometown, so they will probably come. I'm mainly worried that they won't be used to it!"
"You'll get used to it after living here for a long time. When you and Mr. Han have your own children, you'll need someone to help take care of the baby!"
"I don't dare to think that far ahead. I'm under a lot of pressure right now. He loves me and cares about me, and has done so much for me, so I don't want to be a burden to him.
Although I know that my abilities are limited, I can learn and I must accomplish something, so that at least I won't have to worry him or hold him back.
As for having children, there's nothing planned yet, so I haven't even considered it yet!"
In fact, Wang Manni had also thought about it these days. Although she didn't know what Han Tao was thinking, she had considered that if she gave him a son, would marriage be a natural thing.
When Zhong Xiaoqin heard this, she thought of her husband Chen Yu who only cared about fishing every day and didn't care about her at all. Now that she was pregnant, he didn't want the baby and was determined to abort the child.
So she said with emotion: "I really envy you, Manni. Mr. Han is so good to you. He is so busy and rich but he is not arrogant. He is also so careful in his work. You must cherish this fate!"

Chapter 145 Zhu Suosuo is moving
At 10:30 in the evening, in the old alley of Nanjing Road, after the car stopped, Han Tao got out and said goodbye to Zhu Suosuo, then watched her enter the corridor where the Luo family lived, and then got back in the car and told Yang Dongxu to go back to Ode to Joy.
I haven't been back for several days. There are still some things to deal with there. Besides, Xu Jie and Xu Li will be back soon. I have to go there anyway. It's more convenient to stay there.
Zhu Suosuo, on the other hand, opened the door of her uncle's house carrying a lot of shopping gift bags.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Luo Youfu who was washing dishes in the kitchen, and hurriedly shouted: "Uncle, I'm back!"
"Suosuo is back. Didn't she go for a job interview today? How is it going?"
Zhu Suosuo's uncle Luo Youfu looked back at Zhu Suosuo, asked her with concern, and put the washed plates aside.
Zhu Suosuo changed into her slippers and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, uncle, of course it was successful. Brother Han has already arranged everything. It's just a matter of going through the process!"
"Jingyan Group is a big company. Even though Xiao Han arranged everything for you, you can't be careless. You must work harder and not let Xiao Han lose his prestige over there!"
"I understand, uncle. I will definitely work hard!"
Zhu Suosuo nodded and shouted towards her uncle and aunt's bedroom: "Aunt, Suosuo is back!"
"Here I come, why are you back so late today?"
Zhu Suosuo's aunt responded, then ran out of the bedroom. Seeing Zhu Suosuo putting a lot of shopping bags on the table, she said in surprise:
"Suosuo, why did you buy so many things again?"
"Aunt, I didn't buy these. They were all gifts chosen by Brother Han. They're for you. Yours is a bracelet, and uncle and Jiaming's are watches!"
As Zhu Suosuo spoke, she handed an exquisitely packaged box to her aunt.
"Why are you buying me a gift again? Didn't I tell you not to waste money?"
Taking the gift from her hand, Zhu Suosuo's aunt opened the gift box and took a look. Seeing a crystal clear jade bracelet inside, she said in surprise:
"Oh my goodness, Suosuo, is this a jade bracelet? It's too valuable, your aunt can't accept it. Put it away quickly and return it to Mr. Han tomorrow!"
After saying that, Zhu Suosuo's aunt put the gift box back into her mobile phone. Although there was burning love and reluctance in her eyes, she still did not accept it because the gift was too expensive.
Zhu Suosuo took out the bracelet directly, put the box on the table, and then took her aunt's hand and said:
"Why not accept it? This bracelet is specially picked for you. Try it on and see if you like it.
Besides, I have measured the caliber of your silver bracelet, and if I return it, no one else will be able to wear it!"
As she spoke, she had already put the bracelet on her aunt's wrist, and then said with satisfaction:
"Look how well it fits, auntie! This bracelet really suits you. Promise Suosuo, just wear it and don't take it off, okay?"
"This... Suosuo, this is such a beautiful bracelet. My aunt also likes it, but this gift is really too expensive!"
Zhu Suosuo's aunt looked at the bracelet on her wrist, touched it curiously, then raised her hand to look at it in the light, and finally tried to take it off with a look of reluctance.
At this time, Luo Youfu had already finished washing the dishes, and while wiping his hands with his apron, he walked towards the two of them and said, "What are you arguing about here, did Suosuo bring something back?"
"Yes, uncle, Brother Han bought gifts for you and aunt, come and have a look!"
"And mine!"
Hearing this, Luo Youfu responded, then glanced at the bracelet on his wife's wrist, and his niece who was presenting him like a treasure, and said thoughtfully:
"Suosuo, were these bought by Xiao Han? Didn't I tell you before that the first time is fine, as I can't offend Xiao Han, but I absolutely can't accept them a second time.
Besides, the bracelets this time are all too expensive. The bracelet on your aunt’s hand must be quite expensive, right?”
"Uncle, I asked, and Brother Han said this bracelet is worth over 20,000 yuan. It's really not me who wants to accept it, but he made me bring it back!"
He said he wanted to thank Mom and Dad for giving birth to me, and thank you and my aunt for raising and taking care of me. You and my aunt have worked hard for so many years, and now it’s time for you to enjoy the blessing of having a daughter!
As she spoke, Zhu Suosuo took her aunt's hand again, stroked her arm coquettishly and said:
"Aunt, you and uncle have loved Suosuo for so many years. Now that Suosuo has found a boyfriend and works for a company as big as Jingyan Group, it's only natural for me to show my respect to you, right?
You can wear it, unless you and your uncle are dissatisfied with Suosuo for giving it to you too late, or because Suosuo couldn't find a job earlier to earn money to honor you and your uncle! "
"My and Jiaming's things aren't cheap, are they?"
Before Zhu Suosuo's aunt could express her opinion, her uncle Luo Youfu asked again.
Zhu Suosuo looked at her uncle with a smile and answered the question irrelevantly: "As long as you and aunt like it, it's fine. Besides, Suosuo can make money now!
Uncle, you don’t know that Jingyan’s houses are very popular. I heard from our department leader that after Dongli was launched, the smallest house was sold and the commission bonus was over 100,000!
So you and your aunt don’t have to worry too much. Suosuo will make a lot of money in the future, and then Jiaming and I will take care of you and your uncle in your old age.
Besides, this is also a token of Brother Han’s goodwill. He also asked me to show more respect to you in the future!”
Hearing Zhu Suosuo say this, and her eyes turning red, Luo Youfu sighed and nodded. He didn't care whether it was filial piety or not. The main thing was that his niece had this kind heart, and he was extremely relieved.
Finding this place, Luo Youfu did not refuse, so as not to hurt the child's feelings, so he said:
“Okay, then your uncle and aunt will accept it. You and Xiao Han are so thoughtful!
In fact, my uncle doesn't ask for anything else, as long as he can always treat you well and you can be happy. "
"Thank you, uncle. You and aunt have taken care of me for so many years. You and aunt have worked hard! Don't worry, Brother Han is really good to me.
By the way, I have something else I want to tell you and my aunt. I might move out in a few days!"
"Moving out? Why, Suosuo? From what you're saying, does Mr. Han plan to marry you?"
“Aunt…!”
Seeing her aunt directly mention the matter of marriage, Zhu Suosuo embarrassedly hugged her arm and said coquettishly:
"Not yet! It's not long since we confirmed our relationship, and we haven't reached that point yet!"
"Then what happened when you moved out? Did you live for the convenience of your work, or did you live with Mr. Han?"
"I haven't decided yet. Brother Han said he could rent a house for me. If I agree, he can also accompany me to look at houses. We can buy one near Jingyan Group!"
"Mr. Han promised to buy you a house?"
Hearing this, my aunt glanced at Zhu Suosuo, who was wearing designer clothes, and then looked at the gifts on the table and said:
"Suosuo, I remember you two haven't known each other for very long, and now he's given you a very expensive gift and promised to buy you a house near Jingyan Group. The house prices there should be close to 200,000 yuan per square meter, right?
Why do I feel this is a little unreal, and this is too hasty. Where is he from? Besides his own work, do you know what his family does?"
"I didn't ask for details. I only know that his family is from Nantong and he grew up with his grandparents. His grandmother is a university professor and is now retired!"
Zhu Suosuo recounted what Han Tao had said to her, and then continued to defend herself:
"Actually, I don't care about any of this. As long as he likes me and I like him, that's enough. As for the gift you mentioned, I don't think he's what you think. He just wants to make me happy. He really cares about me, and that's enough!"
"Suosuo, sit down first. Come, sit down and talk!"
Seeing Zhu Suosuo's happy face, her aunt asked her to sit on a chair, and then said helplessly:
"Auntie, let me tell you something from my heart. In fact, over the years, I have always treated you like my own daughter!"
"I know, Auntie. I didn't move out because of you. If you and Uncle hadn't taken me in and taken care of me, I would have become an orphan that no one wants!"
Zhu Suosuo sat obediently on the chair, holding her aunt's hand, tears welling up in her eyes as she spoke.
Seeing this, Zhu Suosuo's aunt looked at her, nodded and said, "We are one family and don't talk behind each other's backs. Although Jiaming is a good child, boys are boys. He can't be compared with girls. Daughters are the most considerate!
But Jiaming doesn't have this blessing, he can't tie you down! So you go pursue your own happiness, and your aunt can't stop you. Sooner or later, your aunt will let go, don't you think?
But your mother left you alone since you were little, and she left without saying goodbye, you..."
"Alright, alright, I won't say any more!"
Luo Youfu knew what his wife wanted to say, so he interrupted her, then looked at Zhu Suosuo and smiled:
"Suosuo, you have grown up, you can make decisions about your own affairs, and uncle respects your choice.
But Suosuo, if you're not happy living outside, just come back. Your aunt and I will always be here. Family is always family!"
"Yes, family is always family. If you're unhappy, just come back!"
Seeing this, my aunt nodded. Knowing that she had touched upon Zhu Suosuo's sore spot, she quickly agreed with her husband Luo Youfu's words.
"Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt!"
Although Zhu Suosuo felt sad when she heard her aunt mention her mother, she still forced herself to endure it. She stood up and bowed deeply to her uncle and aunt, expressing her heartfelt gratitude.
Seeing her crying, Luo Youfu helped Zhu Suosuo up and said:
"I'm your uncle, so it's only natural for me to take care of you. What's more, the living expenses your father sends us every month are more than our family's living expenses.
To be honest, it's our Luo family that's benefiting from you. You don't need this!"
"How can you say that, uncle? My father only comes home two or three times a year, and when he does, he just eats a meal and leaves in a hurry.
You and my aunt are more responsible than my biological parents. You raised me like your own daughter, and Jiaming treats me like a real brother. I will never be able to repay your kindness in my lifetime!"
Looking at his niece crying, Luo Youfu waved his hands with a distressed and relieved look and said:
"Okay, Suosuo, don't cry. We'll be very happy if you can come back often to visit your uncle, your aunt, and Jiaming!"
"Well, Suosuo will definitely come back to see you, Auntie, and Jiaming often. In Suosuo's heart, this is my forever home!"
Zhu Suosuo choked up and nodded, saying that she would come back to see everyone often. In fact, when it was really time to leave, after seeing the loneliness on her uncle's face, she was no longer so averse to this family. Instead, she felt a little emotional and reluctant.
"Okay, Suosuo, I know you are a filial child. I wish you happiness!
But don't rush to move out. Your father called today and said he'll be back in Shanghai in the next couple of days. Let's get his opinion!"
After saying that, she accidentally saw the necklace on Zhu Suosuo's neck, looked at it carefully, and asked:
