Chapter 653 Li Xue came to the door
In the blink of an eye it was June.

Su Mingzhe and He Yao have been married for more than a month, but due to their busy work schedule, they didn't even have a honeymoon.

However, He Yao never got angry about this.

Compared with her father He Shengli who is often away from home, Su Mingzhe often comes home drunk, but at least he goes home every day.

When I woke up the next morning, the men were also sleeping next to me.

This is already a very happy thing for He Yao.

The morning exercises are over for the day.

He Yao accompanied the man to take a bath. Su Mingzhe looked at the woman in a cool silk nightgown, frowned and asked:

"Yaoyao, did your relatives come every month at the beginning of the month?"

"Yeah, it used to come at the beginning of the month."

When He Yao heard the man's question, she suddenly shuddered:
"Today is the college entrance examination day, it's already June 7th..."

Su Mingzhe had long noticed that He Yao was pregnant with his child.

He reminded He Yao because the weather had been hot in the past two days. He Yao disliked the hot weather and wore very cool clothes every day. He was also afraid that she would catch a cold and take cold medicine, which would harm the baby in her belly.

Soon, the news of He Yao's pregnancy spread among relatives and friends.

The photography studio that He Yao was originally planning to open had to be put on hold.

Since it was He Yao's first child, Su Mingzhe was afraid that He Yao, without the guidance of her mother, would not know how to protect the fetus or what taboos to avoid, so he specially hired a confinement nanny to take care of her.

For the simple-minded He Yao, all these actions of Su Mingzhe made her feel happy.

Su Mingzhe gets off work earlier and earlier every day, and comes home drunk less and less often.

When He Yao's mood improves, she will take a group of photos with her mobile phone and post them on her Moments, showing off her affection in various ways.

"Humph, show off your affection and die quickly!"

When Li Xue saw He Yao's circle of friends again, she almost popped her eyes out of her head with jealousy.

Compared with Su Mingzhe and He Yao, she and Zhou Jun have been dating for a year.

But in the past few months, she was labeled as a mistress and was not even allowed to show her face in public.

In September last year, Su Xiao took the blame and was fired by Zhongjian Company. Zhou Jun and Su Xiao broke up, and Li Xue then successfully took over.

After Li Xue became Zhou Jun's official girlfriend, she thought she would find love and have a happy marriage.

However, she soon discovered that when Zhou Jun was with her, he always had a fake smile on his face.

Sure enough, a love that is deformed from the root will never bear beautiful flowers.

However, even though she knew that Zhou Jun would never put his heart on her, Li Xue would not let Zhou Jun go.

Because she has paid a lot for it.

Moreover, when she looked at the affectionate photos posted by He Yao, she suddenly felt hopeful about her love with Zhou Jun:
"Maybe, when I get pregnant and give birth to a child for Zhou Jun, Zhou Jun will be able to forget about Su Xiao."

After giving herself a shot of chicken blood, Li Xue started to get busy with Zhou Jun's promotion.

When Zhou Jun and Li Xue started dating, he said that he wanted to achieve something in his career first and then get married.

What is achievement?

Isn’t it just a promotion?

In order to help Zhou Jun get promoted, Li Xue started looking for connections before the New Year. Half a year has passed now, and the matter is now stuck on the issue of qualifications.

Zhou Jun's administrative level was promoted last year, and now only a year has passed, which does not meet the upgrade process.

Li Xue used all her brains to give Zhou Jun a chance to get promoted.

Now, seeing the circle of friends posted by He Yao, Li Xue suddenly remembered something. She found a long-sealed document from her filing cabinet, looked through it for a long time, and finally made up her mind.

During lunch break, Li Xue took out her cell phone and made a call:
"Hey……"

"Hey, Sister Xiaoxue."

Su Mingzhe didn't expect that Li Xue would call him.

However, after a moment's hesitation, he immediately answered the call.

No matter what grudges Li Xue and Su Xiao have, when she was a child, Li Xue was the sister next door who took care of her.

As a person, you must clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment.

As long as Li Xue doesn't let me deal with Su Xiao, I need to continue to respect her.

When Li Xue heard Su Mingzhe's voice, her voice immediately became gentle:
"Xiaozhe, are you free tonight? Let's get together."

Su Mingzhe laughed and said:
"Okay, Sister Xiaoxue, the old place?"

"Just the old place."

When Li Xue saw that Su Mingzhe agreed to the date, she began to prepare the materials for the date.

At around 6:30, Li Xue arrived at the old place - Lixiangyuan.

Su Mingzhe didn't arrive until after seven o'clock.

As soon as he entered the door, Su Mingzhe's eyes lit up:
"Sister Xiaoxue, you are dressed so beautifully today, are you attracted to me?"

If the average person's appearance is 50 points, then in Su Mingzhe's opinion, Li Xue's appearance is just slightly better than that of an average person, barely passing the 60-point mark, not enough to attract his attention.

However, her slim figure and long, round and straight legs make her attractive to men up to 70 points.

Even so, Su Mingzhe never had any interest in her.

Because Li Xue has always dressed very conservatively.

Obviously, she is only a year older than Su Mingzhe, but judging by the way she is dressed, she seems to be five or six years older.

These were the old-fashioned impressions that Li Xue had left on Su Mingzhe in the past.

Today, Li Xue wore a white chiffon sweater on the outside and a thin black slim dress on the inside, and her curvy figure was faintly visible.

The low ponytail that she usually likes to tie behind her head is now draped over her chest.

Long straight black hair, a black dress, and bangs that highlight her gentle temperament set off Li Xue's skin as white as jade and her pleasant temperament.

Hearing Su Mingzhe's words, Li Xue rolled her eyes and scolded with a smile:
"Get lost! How dare you tease your sister!"

"This is not teasing, this is involuntary."

At this time, Su Mingzhe became much bolder and reached out to touch Li Xue's little hand on the table.

Li Xue was also frightened by Su Mingzhe's bold move. She quickly slapped her neighbor and scolded him:
"Xiaozhe, if you dare to bully me again, be careful or I will complain to Yaoyao!"

"You're not willing to do that."

Although Su Mingzhe spoke in the tone of a street urchin, his body was much more obedient.

After all, a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow.

After all, they were so close in the past that Su Mingzhe didn't feel comfortable bullying Li Xue.

Soon, the waiter brought the food and drinks.

As the host, Li Xue invited Su Mingzhe to drink a few glasses of wine, and slowly told him about what she wanted to ask Su Mingzhe for help:
"Xiaozhe, have you heard of Riverside Garden?"

“The unfinished building by the Huangpu River?”

"Yeah, that's it."

"Yes, I have. When I founded Tianlong Company, my uncle took me to see it."

As a new construction industry tycoon in Jianghai City, Su Mingzhe is naturally aware of several unfinished projects in Jianghai City.

Although Jianghai City is the most developed city in the country, it still has unfinished projects.

The first phase of the Riverside Garden mentioned by Li Xue has been completed for ten years and the residents have all moved in.

However, when the second, third, and fourth phases were halfway through construction, during the financial crisis of 08 and 09, the construction company's funding chain broke and it simply ran away with the donations.

As of now, the remaining three phases of the project have been unfinished for nearly ten years, becoming a long-standing problem in the local area.

Li Xue went to Su Mingzhe this time to ask him to help solve this problem:

"Xiaozhe, can your Tianlong Company find a way to contract it?"

Su Mingzhe smiled after hearing this:
"Sister Xiaoxue, Binjiang Garden has been unfinished for ten years and no one has come out to contract it. Do you think that we, a new company that has been established for less than a year, have the ability to solve this problem?"

Su Mingzhe is not a sex-obsessed greedy man. It is impossible for him to be so foolish as to take on too much responsibility and play with the company's profits just because Li Xue came to see him today in a sexy dress.

Li Xue didn't get discouraged when Su Mingzhe didn't agree immediately. Instead, she continued to speak:
"Xiaozhe, many departments have conducted research on this Binjiang community. According to the current housing prices, if someone is willing to contract it, the profit will still be very considerable..."

Li Xue wanted to persuade Su Mingzhe to agree, but Su Mingzhe just looked down at the information, then looked up and smiled:
"Sister Xiaoxue, I'll take this information back and take a look, then I'll get back to you."

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Li Xue didn't expect that Su Mingzhe would immediately agree to an investment of over 10 billion just by saying a few words.

Afterwards, Li Xue stopped talking about work and started chatting with Su Mingzhe about their childhood memories.

When they were young, He Yao, Su Mingzhe and Li Xue lived in the same residential area.

He Yao and Su Mingzhe are of the same age, live on opposite floors, and have the best relationship.

However, He Shengli held a higher official position than Zhao Xiankun, and Su Mingzhe was living in his uncle's house. Facing He Yao, who was like a princess, he was used to keeping silent.

Li Xue has been very independent and strong-willed since she was a child. When faced with Su Mingzhe who seems to be in a weak position, she likes to stand up for him.

Because of these things, Su Mingzhe regarded Li Xue as a goddess when he was a child.

Listening to Li Xue recalling these past events, Su Mingzhe felt extremely complicated for a moment.

When he was a child, the original owner really regarded Li Xue, the sister next door, as his goddess.

Even during my adolescence, there was a period of time when I often dreamed of the two of us playing games together at night.

Thinking of these past events, Su Mingzhe looked at Li Xue with a strange look in his eyes again, as if he wanted to see through that thin and transparent black dress and see the infinite spring scenery inside.

Li Xue was thick-skinned and courageous, but being stared at so aggressively by her former neighbor boy still made her blush and unable to accept it.

"Xiaozhe, it's getting late, and I should go back. Yaoyao is pregnant and alone at home, you should spend more time with her."

Li Xue reminded Su Mingzhe and mentioned "He Yao" again, also asking Su Mingzhe not to have any excessive thoughts about herself.

Su Mingzhe nodded helplessly.

The two of them then left Lixiangyuan together.
