Chapter 944: Chapter 926: Pu Wenhua’s Big Surprise! (37)
In the afternoon, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi followed Pu Wenhua on a tour around the construction site.
Pu Wenhua introduced them to the achievements he had made over the two years of hard work here.
The residential high-rises were already halfway built. The houses in this half were previously sold in the first phase, selling many units and allowing Pu Wenhua to recover a lot of capital.
Now, in this half of the construction site, he plans to build office buildings and develop other entertainment facilities.
Additionally, in another small village on this barren land, he reached an agreement with the villagers to build a happy farm and set up several homestays. Some villagers also converted their houses into homestays.
Recently, this area has been undergoing development on multiple fronts.
Pu Wenhua returned to this business as a successful businessman, marking his personal success as well as rewriting his own life story.
After the tour with Pu Wenhua, both Ye Xi and Pu Sangzhi gained significant insights both in terms of mindset and professional skills.
Originally, Pu Sangzhi wanted to apply to Pu Wenhua to learn some practical knowledge on the construction site.
However, due to weather conditions, the construction site was shut down, so Pu Sangzhi couldn’t learn on-site.
Nevertheless, after taking this tour, Pu Sangzhi acquired much more useful knowledge, and even more grand ideas.
She decided to keep everything her father said today in her mind and use it as her guiding belief in life moving forward!
...
In the following days, Pu Sangzhi started her leisurely winter break.
Since she didn’t need to be at the construction site, she spent most of her holiday at home reading.
She always loved reading, and now she had more time to indulge in it.
This winter break, she had packed her bag full of books beforehand.
Since there was no need to go to the construction site anymore, there was plenty of time to read.
Pu Sangzhi still maintained a personal time schedule every day.
In the morning, she got up at eight, had breakfast, then either went with her mother to check the farm homestay or went to the company with Ye Xi to find her father.
In the afternoons, Pu Sangzhi mostly stayed home reading.
In the afternoon, Ye Xi would accompany her in reading at home.
The two of them would sit quietly and read, just like in their childhood, occasionally discussing plot stories, character content, and broader aspects, with a cozy and calm atmosphere.
Pu Sangzhi quite enjoyed the atmosphere of sitting with Ye Xi to read too, because Brother Ye Xi gave a gentle and calming vibe, like soft bamboo, that was very comforting.
Winter in Heilongjiang, snowing is a daily occurrence.
What is never seen in the south, accumulative snow, is the whole winter landscape in Heilongjiang...
In the evening, Pu Sangzhi and Ye Xi would go out briefly to watch the snow, stretch, and relax.
The Alaskan Malamute next door would often run around from house to house; Pu Sangzhi would feed it meat.
Pu Sangzhi shared the daily happenings with Huo Feng, describing her life here.
However, upon hearing from her, Huo Feng became insanely jealous!
He even said he must quickly get his driver’s license and rush over to find Pu Sangzhi! He wanted to read books and walk the dog with her!
This made Pu Sangzhi amused yet touched...
Days passed by like this, one by one...
In the blink of an eye, winter break was over a week gone, and soon the New Year was approaching.
At Pu Wenhua’s company, employees are given an early New Year’s break, though there are still people on duty.
The closer it got to New Year, the more Pu Wenhua eased up on his projects, concluding one matter a day...
Gradually, Pu Wenhua was also able to come home for dinner in the evening.
One evening, at half past six, Pu Wenhua suddenly arrived home, scaring Pu Sangzhi, Ye Xi, and Chen Huifen.
Because before that, Pu Wenhua had never come back so early!
He would either come back at one in the morning, or come home to have dinner at no earlier than eight...
So when he suddenly rode his electric bike home at half past six today, it really startled everyone in the house.
Chen Huifen busied herself handling his slippers, a bit embarrassed, saying, "Why are you back so early today? Dinner’s not ready yet..."
"It’s alright, dinner’s not important."
Pu Wenhua came back in good spirits today, in a great mood.
While changing shoes, his face was full of smiles. Seeing him so happy, Chen Huifen was a little puzzled...
"Is the company business all sorted out? Taking an early break?" Chen Huifen asked.
"Not that," Pu Wenhua denied.
Then Pu Wenhua asked Chen Huifen, "Where’s Xiaoxi? At home, right?"
"Of course, at home," Chen Huifen replied.
"Hey hey, I have a surprise for him!" When Pu Wenhua said this, his tone was full of excitement, as happy as a child.
Although Chen Huifen didn’t quite understand what was going on, seeing him so delighted, she couldn’t help but smile along.
It had to be good news for sure!
"Xiaoxi."
After changing into slippers, Pu Wenhua entered the house, calling out to Ye Xi as he walked in.
By then, Ye Xi and Pu Sangzhi were still in the kitchen, busy with some chores and discussing why Pu Wenhua came back so early today.
Hearing Pu Wenhua’s voice, Ye Xi quickly wiped his hands, responding while walking out from the kitchen, "Uncle Pu, are you calling me?"
"Haha, yes, I’m calling you!"
Pu Wenhua laughed and patted Ye Xi’s shoulder, "Didn’t I say before there was a surprise for you? It’s finally here after waiting for so long!"
Upon hearing this, Pu Sangzhi eagerly walked out of the kitchen, looking at Pu Wenhua with interest.
Before returning home, she had been keeping in mind this ’surprise’ thing...
But when she got home, being preoccupied with the site work each day, she didn’t see much of her father and had forgotten all about the ’surprise.’
Ye Xi had also completely forgotten about this thing Pu Wenhua mentioned before.
But now that Pu Wenhua suddenly brought it up, Ye Xi suddenly realized, "Ah... What is it?"
"Hehe..."
Pu Wenhua laughed continuously, his face wrinkled from smiling, visibly in a great mood!
Suddenly, Pu Wenhua hugged Ye Xi’s shoulders with both hands, speaking sincerely, "That woman was caught! She’s finally caught!"
This sentence, Pu Wenhua said with utmost excitement!
After he finished speaking, it took Pu Sangzhi a while to react, then she couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment, "Oh my god!"
Chen Huifen only reacted after Pu Sangzhi, "That woman? Is it that woman?"
Chen Huifen anxiously took two steps forward, holding Pu Wenhua’s shoulders, asking eagerly, "Is it the woman who deceived Jianbing previously?"
"Yes! It’s her!"
Pu Wenhua excitedly turned to Chen Huifen, unable to contain his smiling excitement, "I’ve been releasing information outside for months, luring her to appear. I wanted to give the Ye Family an explanation! After spending several months, I finally found some clues. I recently felt that since the year-end was approaching, that woman would definitely show up! So I said there’s a surprise, look, she came back! She was arrested as soon as she entered Heilongjiang! Now in the city police station, the police asked us to go identify her tomorrow! Yes, because it’s too late today, the police said they will take her statement tonight, we will go to identify her tomorrow. I even found a lawyer who said we can sue her for fraud and murder, to make sure she can never get away with it!"
"Great, Dad!"
Pu Sangzhi was instantly overjoyed, "Brother Ye Xi, finally, there’s revenge possible! That woman got caught!"
Chen Huifen was also so happy that she couldn’t keep her mouth closed, "Yes, she’s finally caught! The net of justice is vast and sparse yet never misses! Really thank heaven, thank the police! The world truly sees the return of karma, bad people always get their due!"
At that moment, Pu Sangzhi, Pu Wenhua, and Chen Huifen were all overwhelmingly excited and thrilled.
Only Ye Xi didn’t react for a long time, even seeming unable to react...
While everyone around him celebrated, he forgot what joy was...
"Brother Ye Xi?"
Seeing him unresponsive, Pu Sangzhi couldn’t help but worry about his situation, "Brother Ye Xi, what’s wrong with you?"
Even Pu Wenhua didn’t expect Ye Xi to react this way, somewhat at a loss, "What’s wrong, kid? Aren’t you happy? Isn’t this good news?"
"I..."
Ye Xi slightly parted his lips but didn’t know what to say.
After about a minute of silence, he finally managed to squeeze out a phrase, "I want to call my mom and tell her about this..."
"Okay, hurry and make the call."
Pu Wenhua patted his shoulder, "Don’t feel so heavy-hearted, it’s good news!"
"Mm." Ye Xi nodded.
