Chapter 179 The beauty hidden in the golden house
Wu Laoqi turned around and looked at the little beggar with a sharp gaze. His eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry, as if an invisible light was passing through the little beggar.
He guessed: "Anyone who deserves the boss's personal orders must be extraordinary, not to mention she's a girl."
"Has the eldest son-in-law had enough of being a son-in-law? He wants to learn from the rich people and keep a mistress. He can't guess what the eldest son is thinking, so he just has to obey his orders."
Hou Jie looked at Wu Laoqi and said slowly:
"In the future! She will live in the backyard, so please take good care of her in the future."
This sentence is full of his concern and care for the little beggar, and also reveals his trust and expectation for Wu Laoqi. He knows that Wu Laoqi will help him arrange everything so that Liu Ruyan can live in the backyard with peace of mind.
Hou Jie pointed to the junction of the wall between courtyards 95 and 96 and continued, "Find someone else to install a hidden door here."
This sentence reveals his meticulousness and thoughtfulness in life. He knew that Wu Laoqi would help him arrange everything so that he could enter and exit his house conveniently.
When Wu Laoqi heard Hou Jie's words, he nodded and agreed, "Okay, Boss."
Wu Laoqi was shocked. Although he didn't know who this girl was, judging from her appearance, she should be very beautiful.
Isn’t this a naked case of hiding a mistress in a golden house?
"As expected of the boss, you are really good at playing."
"Take me to see the house. It's my first time there, and I can't do it without someone to show me around."
"Okay, boss."
Liu Ruyan stayed quietly at the side without saying anything. After hearing Hou Jie's instructions and arrangements, she was sure that he cared about her and was very happy.
As for the rest, buying a yard, isn't that normal? The rumors of bankruptcy, debt, etc. are all lies.
Since he knew that the Nationalist government was about to collapse, wouldn't he be a fool if he didn't make some preparations?
Liu Ruyan secretly cursed Hou Jie for being cunning, but at the same time she was glad that she was smart.
"I knew you were dishonest and cunning. Fortunately, I was smart and didn't let you fool me. I have a good eye. Otherwise, a man like you would have slipped away from me."
"For those slutty bitches, with their beauty and intelligence, little kiss."
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly and he felt happy.
The three of them walked along the stone road with anticipation and arrived at their destination, Courtyard No. 96. Hou Jie took out the key from his pocket and carefully opened the door to the backyard. As the door slowly opened, the three of them were deeply attracted by the scenery in the yard. The layout of the yard was exquisite and well-arranged, with both classical charm and modern comfort.
Liu Ruyan was also shocked by the scene before her. She raised her bright eyes and looked around the beautiful courtyard. The first thing that appeared in her sight was the three main rooms. The middle room was the flower hall for guests. The floor was made of pure solid wood with a deep color and rich texture. Various Chinese-style furniture were placed on the floor with smooth lines and fine carvings.
Another room is the bedroom, with a dressing table on the bedside table and a mirror framed with ivory white frames. Another is the study, which is spacious and furnished with a desk and bookcases.
In addition, the necessary toilets and bathrooms are also available. On one side of the courtyard is the flower hall, and on the other side is the flower corridor. The flower corridor is lined with various flowers, colorful and fragrant. On the flower path, pebbles are laid in various patterns, as if it is a path leading to a fairyland.
Hou Jie and Liu Ruyan strolled in this picturesque courtyard, looking around and touching things, their hearts filled with surprise and gratitude.
Especially Liu Ruyan, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. She also liked Hou Jie even more.
"This bad guy is really willing to prepare such a nice yard for himself."
Turning his head, he said to Hou Jie, "Hou Ying, I like this yard very much."
Hou Jie nodded, "I like it too. Lao Qi has done a good job! You have made great progress.
Wu Laoqi knew Hou Jie's preferences, and he really put a lot of thought into satisfying Hou Jie's requirements for clean, tidy and elegant decoration. He specially found the masters he had worked with last time and carefully built this beautiful courtyard.
If he doesn't pay attention, he will be replaced by other brothers. He has to pay attention, and he is under pressure.
The position around the boss is very popular. The boss is also very generous. Haven't you seen the brothers around the boss? Their wives are all very beautiful, they have no shortage of food or clothes, and they are very rich.
The annual salary is just for show, the rewards are the big part, okay!
As for the various rumors outside, as someone close to them, if you don’t understand them, you might as well just die.
After hearing the boss's affirmation and praise, Wu Laoqi felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride deep in his heart.
He knew that, with his intelligence and keen insight, he had once again successfully captured the boss's intentions and responded in accordance with expectations. This tacit understanding and recognition made Wu Laoqi feel quietly proud, although only he could perceive this pride, but the heartfelt joy was enough to brighten his whole world.
Wu Laoqi is an extremely clever person. He knows how to read people's expressions and is good at seizing opportunities.
When he confirmed that he had no other matters to deal with for the time being, he promptly proposed to leave first.
He respectfully expressed his thoughts to Hou Jie: "Boss, since the matter here has been dealt with, I will go back to the Intermediate Court first. If you need any help, just come to me directly."
Hou Jie nodded and waved to him to indicate that he could leave.
Wu Laoqi knew exactly what Boss Hou Jie meant, so after he left the room, he deliberately closed the door.
Liu Ruyan looked around and found that she and Hou Jie were the only ones left in the yard. She felt relieved and began to walk around freely. She ran east and west, looking at the house in front of her more carefully. As a woman, she had a strong interest in houses and a unique aesthetic vision.
However, Hou Jie couldn't stand her behavior. He frowned slightly and stopped her with a bit of disdain: "Miss Liu, let's not look at the house yet. Can you pay attention to your image first? Change into clean and tidy clothes first."
Liu Ruyan, a woman who is usually exquisite and elegant, suddenly realized at this moment that her image is no longer as neat and decent as before.
Her clothes were somewhat tattered, her hair was particularly messy due to sweat and tangled hair, and even her cheeks were smeared with black ash, making her look quite disheveled.
She hurried to the bathroom with an almost panicked pace, which was an urgent attempt to repair her own image and reorganize the order of her life.
During the cleaning process, she became acutely aware of a problem - there were no clean clothes to replace.
"Oh no! I forgot I had any change of clothes. What should I do?"
So she had to bite the bullet, muster up her courage, and shout loudly outside the house:
"Hou Ying, are you there?"
Her voice, filled with anxiety and expectation, echoed in the empty yard.
