Chapter 317: Land

firming nor denying.But Fu Xiaoyao glared at him, “What are you doing touching my face for I thought there was a bug on it.”"Bugs" Lu Hanchuan's face darkened.This woman, she actually treated him like..."Madam, have you finished watching the show" Auntie Song saw Fu Xiaoyao walk into the living room and hurriedly asked with a smile.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded slightly, "Hmm, I've finished reading it. Has Hanchuan come back"

She questioned back.

Aunt Song pointed upstairs. "He's in the study."

"Then I'll go find him." Fu Xiaoyao ran up the stairs.

She would tell him the news she found out at Qi Ya as soon as possible.

There's also Qi Ya's phone. She just took a look, it has a password lock, she couldn't open it, after giving it to him, he can still have someone unlock it.

Perhaps there are some usable clues in that phone after all.

Ding ding ding!

Fu Xiaoyao knocked on Lu Hanchuan's study door, "Hanchuan."

"Come in." Lu Hanchuan's cold voice came from inside.

Fu Xiaoyao turned the doorknob and went in, "Are you busy"

Lu Hanchuan was typing away, and upon hearing her question, he slightly raised his head to glance at her before quickly burying his head back into work. "Collecting some land data."

"Land" Fu Xiaoyao blinked. "You're buying land again"

Lu Hchuan let out a hum, "This incident in the villa area has already made many people distrust the quality of the villas. To restore our reputation, we can only demolish and rebuild all the villas, so I'm looking for new land."

"So that's it." Fu Xiaoyao touched her chin thoughtfully, as if she understood his meaning.

Although she had no architectural training, she understood that high-end villas were built differently from ordinary properties. They had specially designed foundations, so if all the villas were to be demolished and rebuilt, all the foundations would have to be removed as well.

This would take a considerable amount of time to clear the debris. If we wait until the rubble is cleared before rebuilding, it will definitely miss the next quarter's opening date. So it's better to buy a new plot of land and build another villa instead.

Thinking of this, Fu Xiaoyao walked to Lu Hanchuan's side and curiously looked at his computer, "Have you set your sights on any plots of land"

"Not bad." Lu Hanchuan clicked twice with the mouse, and a detailed introduction to the piece of land popped up on the screen.

Fu Xiaoyao stuck her neck out and, after scanning the area with narrowed eyes, expressed some surprise, "North Bank Isn't that the suburbs"

"Well, the scenery is pretty good. With a little development, it would be a great place to build villas." Lu Hanchuan replied calmly.

Fu Xiaoyao shrugged. "Well, I don't really understand these things, you better figure it out yourself. I came to find you because there's something I want to tell you."

"What's wrong" Lu Hánchuan released the mouse and turned to look at her.

"Well, you see, I wasn't at a fashion show today. And guess who I ran into there Qi Ya! She spilled the tea to me." Fu Xiaoyao said, her eyes darting around with half-truths.

Lu Hanchuan could tell she was nervous just by looking at her. His eyebrows rose slightly, "What kind of story are you spinning"

"Um... I just asked her who Qi Jia allied with." Fu Xiaoyao twisted the corner of her clothes.

Lu Hanchuan leaned back against the chair, "Did she answer"

"Hmm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded.

Lu Hanchuan narrowed his eyes, "Did you do something to her, or she wouldn't answer you"

Fu Xiaoyao smiled reluctantly, "Alright, I admit, I did give her a small punishment."

She pinched a tiny movement with her finger.

Lu Hanchuan glanced at her, "How did she answer"

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback. "You're not asking me what punishment I gave her"

Lu Hchuan lowered his eyes and said in a flat voice, "No interest."

"Is that so" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him with some suspicion.

Lu Hanchuan displeasedly pursed his lips, "Fu Xiaoyao, is it that you don't believe anything I say"

"No, no." Fu Xiaoyao waved her hands hurriedly. "I just think that on the matter of Qi Ya, you say you're not interested, it's a bit..."

"That's enough," Lu Hanchuan raised his hand to interrupt her, "I don't want to hear you say these things. Just get to the point."

"Oh, I see." Fu Xiaoyao stuck out her tongue and replied.

If he doesn't want to know what she did to Qi Ya, then she won't say.

So Fu Xiaoyao did not actually tell Lu Hanchuan about what she had done to Qi Ya. She only told him what Qi Ya had said at the time.

After finishing her words, she took out Qi Ya's phone from her pocket and handed it over. "I snatched this from Qi Ya. I think since she is Qi Dongming's daughter, there should be some clues in her phone. You have someone crack it open and see."

Lu Hanchuan looked at the pink phone in his palm, his eyes darkening, "Fu Xiaoyao."

He suddenly called out to her.

Fu Xiaoyao blinked at him, "What's wrong"

Lu Hanchuan's face darkened. "You're still asking me what's wrong I told you before, I want you to stay out of this, but you not only got involved, you even snatched my phone."

"Stealing a phone... is that wrong" Fu Xiaoyao pouted her lips, sounding a little wronged.

Lu Hanchuan pursed his thin lips, "So you're saying you did the right thing"

"I just want to help you," Fu Xiaoyao retorted.

Lu Hanchuan slammed his phone onto the desk, "I don't need your help. I said before, just protect yourself. This is a feud between the Lu family, you shouldn't get involved. Luckily this time you only snatched Qi Ya's phone, if you had taken someone else's, do you think you would have walked away unscathed"

She wants to help him, he can understand.

But he didn't want her to get hurt again.

Fu Xiaoyao could hear that besides anger, there was a hint of concern in Lu Hanchuan's voice. This couldn't help but bring a sweet feeling to her heart.

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time..." she tugged at his sleeve, quickly apologizing to appease his anger.

Lu Hanchuan gave her a cold look, making her lower her head. He then snorted coldly and shifted his gaze away, "If there's another time, I'll send you abroad directly. I'll bring you back only after all the trouble here is resolved."

"This..." Fu Xiaoyao stared in disbelief, "It can still be like this"

"As long as I think about it, nothing is impossible. Alright, you can go now." Lu Hanchuan gave him the boot.

Fu Xiaoyao looked at Qi Ya's phone, her mouth opened as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw his cold profile, she ultimately said nothing and closed her mouth before leaving.

After she left, Lu Hanchuan pinched the bridge of his nose and grabbed his phone, dialing a number. "Qiao Mu!" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"Lu Zong," Qiao Mu's voice rang out from the phone.

Lu Hannan closed his eyes wearily, "Come to the villa for a bit, I have a phone here that needs you to take out and crack. See if there's any useful information inside."

"I understand, I'll be right there." Qiao Mu replied.

Lu Hanchuan hummed in response, hung up the phone, and then tossed it aside to continue browsing land data.

Time flies, and it's evening.

Lu Hanchuan finally walked out of the study and came downstairs.

Fu Xiaoyao saw that his expression was listless, so she quickly poured him a cup of tea, "Are you finished with your work"

Lu Hanchuan took the teacup and sat down beside her. "What are you looking at"

"Photos," Fu Xiaoyao said, fiddling with the camera in her hand without looking up.

Lu Hchuan saw that all her attention was on the camera, not giving him even a sliver. He felt a little unhappy and his voice became much lower, "What kind of photo"

"I took some pictures while watching the show today, I haven't finished editing them yet, do you want to see" Fu Xiaoyao shook the camera in her hand and asked him.

Lu Hanchuan waved his hand dismissively, showing no interest.

Seeing this, Fu Xiaoyao put down her camera, "Well, I asked too much. As if I didn't ask."

She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.

Lu Hanchuan suddenly glanced at her and asked, "How is the venue decoration for your business alliance meeting""Joe Mu was very curious, "President Lu, you just said that Lu Shushu was taken away" "Yeah..." 。"Lu Hanchuan nodded" 。"Is it Xiao Bao's mom" 。“I guess so, you saw this letter and said that Lu Sus...
