Scum Man Cannot Redeem Himself - chapter 145

Yuyuan.

Yang Junhan was fiddling with a bonsai in the courtyard. He had a pine in his hand, a foot high in shape, planted halfway up a rockery, very fine.

There was a silver waterfall on the rockery, falling in a pool of white smoke, giving the impression of being in a deep mountain.

A few koi in the pond emerge from time to time with their beautiful bodies, opening their mouths to eat? Or in the exchange of breath?

Xiaowu, dressed in green, entered the courtyard with quick steps.

“Young master,” Xiao Wu walked up to Yang Junhan’s side and lowered his voice, “As you expected, they have already started to move.”

Yang Junhan’s eyes deepened slightly. The fish was about to take the bait, but unfortunately it was not what he wanted to see.

He frowned in deep thought and said, “Send more men, there must not be any mistakes.”

“Young master, don’t worry,” he understood the position of Miss Ning in the young master’s heart. The man would turn ruthless for her. 

……

Chen Jili came to Clear Water in the morning. He slept for some time the previous night, and then rushed to Clear Water by horse, exhausted.

He tethered his horse and walked to Ning Qing’s courtyard.

He yawned as she walked next door to her house.

In front of the door, a tall figure was bending down to touch the inside of the door lock, and of course, she recognized this person, Ning Qing’s ex-husband.

This handsome man had long hands and feet, and before Nei’er could react, the door was opened by him.

The first thing she did was to get in front of him and block his way, “Why are you here again? And you even opened our courtyard door without permission?” Her face and eyes conveyed that he was not welcomed.

Chen Jili looked at this protective little girl, and did not know what kind of magic Ning Qing had, always making the people around her loyal to the utmost.

He showed a rare smile, “I have an extremely important matter to tell your master, can you make it easier for me?”

Chen Jili naturally wouldn’t see eye to eye with a little girl, seeing that Ning Qingi’s window was still open, “Is she not up yet?”

Nei’er nodded her head.

Chen Jili said, “Then I will be back later.”

Ne’er wanted to say, “No one welcomes you”, but when she thought of the old lady’s stern eyes, her small shoulders shrank.

Chen Jili had just taken two steps when Zhang Rulan came out of the courtyard, saw him, and hurriedly shouted, “Jili you have come back?”

Chen Jili turned around, saluted, and responded, “Yes, mother-in-law, I just arrived a while ago.”

Zhang Rulan walked out of the courtyard, “Come over for breakfast, I asked Xiuping to prepare yours as well. Ning Qing is already up and is freshening up.”

“Yes, mother-in-law, I have something to discuss with Ning Qing. I will come back after I change my robe.” 

Chen Jili loved cleanliness, and after traveling for several hours, his face was covered with dust, so he had to take advantage of this gap to wash it.

In the morning’s tranquility, the words outside the courtyard fell into Ning Qing’s ears.

He …… came again. She really did not understand how such a proud person, after she said so many humiliating words, could still come to her. Such Chen Jili really surprised her.

He said there was something to discuss? What could it be?

Sleepless, Ning Qing was worried those days. The salesman brought back the news that her old customers had no intention to order more. Even if the order was made, the number was very small. 

She wanted to go out personally to understand the situation, but the boss said that she should not go anywhere during the period, in order not to worry the workers. Other than the small courtyard and her workplace, she rarely went out.

But the situation could not allow her to delay further. Her business which she built single handedly on hard work was about to die. She was anxious to know where things went wrong, resulting in the once popular products demand to drop so sharply.

When Zhang Rulan saw the new Chen Jili enter the courtyard, she shouted at Ning Yi, “Breakfast is ready. I asked Xiuping to make the crispy cakes you love today.”

Ning Qing answered.

Since she had always eaten in the kitchen, it had become a habit. Zhang Rulan had also continued the habit of eating in the kitchen after she came, because after all, it was a small house, not her big house in Suzhou.

The kitchen was not large with a four-square table against the wall. There were still places for three people to sit.

When Ning Qing walked in, Chen Jili had already sat down. His back was straight, in an ink-colored shirt.

Perhaps he heard the movement behind him. He looked back, and the two eyes met.

Ning Qing saw the surprise in his eyes and sat down with a calm face. Didn’t he have something to discuss? Ning Qing was not an evasive type, indeed it was something she would have to solve.

At the same time, her gaze swept to the table a tangle of oil paper packets. The packaging was what she was familiar with, Yao Ji’s dessert.

She used to love this dessert, but she had never tasted it since she came to ClearWater village.

Chen Jili gently pushed the dessert in his hand. He said no words, but the meaning was already very obvious.

At that time, Sister Xiuping brought millet porridge and Zhang Rulan also entered the kitchen. Looking at the gust of hot air rising in front of her, Ning Qing lowered her head and scooped up two mouthfuls.

The three of them finished their breakfast in silence.

Zhang Rulan ate faster than usual and went out the door after eating, Xiuping and Nei’er were also called out, leaving the two in the kitchen.
