The three of them walked through the alley and returned to the opposite side of Xingfuli Community. The hotel Zeng Jinxiu had booked was right next to the road.

The neighborhood itself is an old city, and Zeng Jinxiu booked a small hotel, not a hotel not far from here. Lin Yi felt a little distressed, as if she had been demanding herself, if she lived too comfortably

, would be sorry for her brother.

When the two came out of the hotel, Qin Huan actually held a suitcase in his hand. After asking, he learned that Zeng Jinxiu had vacated the house in Tangdu but had not yet found a place to live in Jiangcheng.

Qin Huan was really overly enthusiastic today. She held Zeng Jinxiu's hand in the car and insisted that Zeng Jinxiu not be in a hurry to find a house and live at home for a while. The two of them happened to be on the way to work.

Lin Yi, who was driving, was really dumbfounded. He said it as if you two had been best friends for many years. Even a fool knows that the more enthusiastic she is, the more difficult it will be for Zeng Jinxiu.

After arriving home, Qin Huan simply tidied up Xigua's room and let Zeng Jinxiu live there peacefully.

"What are you doing standing around? Make something delicious. I'm going to have a drink with Sister Jinxiu later." While Zeng Jinxiu was changing clothes in the room, Qin Huan came to the sofa and ordered Lin Yi.

Lin Yi burst into laughter, "Beauty, how are you? Are you too enthusiastic?"

The implication is that you and she are not close enough to sleep on the same bed. Your enthusiasm will make people feel uncomfortable.

Qin Huan's face suddenly became a little sad. She pursed her lips and said to Lin Yi: "You may not know Sister Jinxiu. She has actually lived a very hard life for so many years. I think we are very similar, so I want to become the best sister with Jinxiu."

A good friend. I am even willing to share everything about myself with her."

Lin Yi was stunned. Zeng Jinxiu lived a hard life, and Qin Huan only understood him one-tenth of the way he did. He didn't expect that this woman with such a temperament could be so decisive in her thoughts.

"As far as I know, although my father-in-law passed away earlier, you are still fine, right?"

Qin Huan glared at Lin Yi fiercely, "I'm talking about psychology! You don't understand even after I say it. Hurry up and make something delicious."

"Aren't you going to lose weight tonight?"

"Let's talk tomorrow."

Lin Yi smiled and shook his head, got up and walked towards the kitchen.

After Zeng Jinxiu took a bath, put on her pajamas and walked out, there were four side dishes on the table, two of which were ready-made, and Qin Huan opened another bottle of red wine.

"Sister Jinxiu, come here and do it."

"I, I don't drink often." Zeng Jinxiu looked at the red wine and felt helpless. She really regretted agreeing to Qin Huan. She really should have been more decisive and rejected her directly.

Lin Yi placed the bowls and chopsticks and said to Zeng Jinxiu with a smile: "Don't be formal. When you get to know Huanhuan more, you will naturally understand her character."

Zeng Jinxiu nodded with a smile and sat down next to Qin Huan.

Lin Yi was very sensible. After getting everything ready, he went to the sofa to watch TV alone. The two women were drinking and chatting, and the grown men should not get involved.

After drinking for three rounds, the reserved Zeng Jinxiu finally relaxed a little. Although Lin Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, was staring at the TV, his ears were always on the side of the two women.

Just like Qin Huan said, she felt that she and Zeng Jinxiu were in the same boat and must have a common language. So she really started talking and talked about the emotions she had been pent up in her heart for so many years.

"After my father left, I actually knew that my mother worked very hard. The family gave everything that my father had given his life to.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Second uncle. My mother didn’t say anything, but she felt more uncomfortable than anyone else. For so many years, the family did not let her touch family affairs because she was afraid of her revenge. In the end, she fought for this house and a small one in Jiangcheng.

Advertising agency.”

"I...I actually want to help my mother take care of her worries, but..." Qin Huan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, tears welling up in her red eyes.

Zeng Jinxiu, who was standing next to her, silently stretched out her hand and patted Qin Huan's hand. She really wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she was used to being alone for so many years, and she didn't know what words could warm her heart. In the end, she could only pick up the hand in silence.

Qin Huan took a big sip from the wine glass.

Qin Huan raised her hand to wipe her tears, grinned and said: "Make Sister Jinxiu laugh, hehe..."

"In fact, everyone's life is very difficult. We think that when we are living the most tiring and miserable life, maybe your closest loved ones, somewhere, are living a more miserable and tiring life than us."

"Yeah, yeah." Qin Huan nodded in agreement.

A rare smile appeared on Zeng Jinxiu's face, "So, even if we are in difficulty, we must persevere. We should make the life of the person who silently pays more for us easier, right?"

Lin Yi, who was beside the sofa, listened silently to the conversation between the two.

"Hey..." Qin Huan burped, "Sister Jinxiu, you are so right. From now on, you will be my sister, my biological sister."

"Okay, stop drinking. You're a little drunk."

After moving Qin Huan's wine glass away and looking at Qin Huan with a flushed face, Zeng Jinxiu's eyes drifted towards Lin Yi. Coincidentally, Lin Yi also happened to look over at this time.

Neither of them spoke, but there was a tacit understanding in their eyes that they knew each other well about what they were about to say.

Lin Yi stood up and came to Qin Huan's side, "Okay, okay. Just drink these today, you have to go to work tomorrow."

"What are you doing? Sister Jinxiu and I are still chatting." Qin Huan raised his head, pursed his lips and glared at Lin Yi.

In fact, her drinking capacity is not that high. They have not finished a bottle of red wine. But she is really drunk, and her eyes are even a little blurry.

Maybe this is because people get drunk even if they are not drunk. After pouring out all the words in their heart, the spirit will no longer be tense and alcohol will take over.

Although he said that he was not drunk, within a minute, Qin Huan was already lying on the table. Lin Yi smiled helplessly, said sorry to Zeng Jinxiu, then picked up Qin Huan and thought about the room.

Go.

Zeng Jinxiu picked up the wine glass alone and took a sip of the wine.

After a while, Lin Yi walked out and gently closed the door.

"Sorry, I made you laugh."

"Have we known each other before?" Zeng Jinxiu suddenly said inexplicably.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, his heart was trembling. He wanted to tell her, "We know each other. In fact, I am your brother. I am Jincheng."

But in the end, he shook his head and said thoughtfully: "I guess... I don't know him."

"Then how do you know about that night market?" Zeng Jinxiu asked again with squinted eyes.

Her memory is very good. She and Lin Yi first met at the Film and Television City in Tangdu, and he helped her. Then a few days later, Ning Pei'er came to see her, and then they met for the second time.

Are there really so many coincidences in the world? Zeng Jinxiu doesn't believe it. She has never believed in heaven or fate, let alone any destiny.

She only believes in her own eyes and her own intuition.

So, what she wants to ask is "Why do you want to approach

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

I?"

Lin Yi explained with a smile: "I used to have a classmate who lived in Xingfu. We went there together in high school, so I remembered it. I happened to be there today, so I took Huanhuan to have a look. Unexpectedly,

It’s really still there.”

He could feel Zeng Jinxiu's suspicion and vigilance towards him. If Zeng Jinxiu continued to ask who that classmate was, he could still name a person, and Zeng Jinxiu happened to know him before.

After all, that person really lives in Xingfuli Community.

However, Zeng Jinxiu just drank all the wine in the glass, got up and went back to the room. It seemed that she believed what Lin Yi said, or maybe she didn't believe what he said at all.

A night of silence.

The next day, Lin Yi drove the two of them to work. Qin Huan sheepishly explained to Zeng Jinxiu, while holding Zeng Jinxiu's hand, saying that he wanted her to stay at home for a longer period of time. He still vowed to do so.

Speaking of which, next time I drink, it won’t be so bad.

Lin Yi couldn't laugh or cry, and Zeng Jinxiu was speechless, so she had no choice but to agree.

...

Overseas, an island.

Shi Lei and her people were unloading a ship of goods.

"Slow down, be careful where you step, don't let these things get wet."

Originally, this island was to be turned into a private resort island, with a temporary port on the seaside and several small villas in the center of the island.

But because of the rampant pirates on the surrounding islands, Lin Yi's wealthy friend couldn't bear it anymore after several attacks, so he had to abandon the island.

After Shi Lei led people to the island, they first overhauled the hydroelectric power generation machine. Fortunately, the island owner was smart and hid the large hydropower generation machine under a certain villa. The large scale would definitely cost a lot of money.

However, it is precisely because of this that this hydroelectric power generation machine was not discovered by surrounding pirates.

There is also a large-scale seawater desalination equipment here, but the process and raw material consumption are relatively large. Shi Lei thought about it and decided to give up using it. It would be more practical to directly purchase some fresh water.

The water and electricity problem has been temporarily solved, and the next step is to deploy defenses on the entire island. There are many pirates around, and they must be prepared to be attacked by pirates at all times.

In the past few days, Shi Lei did not use hydroelectric power. Firstly, the weapons and equipment did not arrive, and there were few people. If the pirates came, they would not be able to fight. Secondly, in order to avoid being discovered by the pirates, the lights on the island were turned off at night.

Being transparent does not mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver in this place.

It took a whole morning to finish unloading the weapons and equipment on the ship. The delivery ships were two fishing boats. They have been fishing in this sea area all year round, and they are half familiar with the surrounding pirates, so they go in and out.

There is no doubt here.

After the fishing boat left, Shi Lei began to assign tasks. There were only a few of them now. The longer they stayed on the island, the more clues they would leave behind, and they would be discovered by pirates sooner or later.

"Xiaohu, you take the bell and carry a box of mines to the island and place them there. Alpaca, you and Yu go to the west. Abacus and hammer, you two go to the north."

The people he called ran away happily carrying a box of mines in pairs.

In the end, only Shi Lei and another woman were left. Weird names such as Xiaohu, Bell, Alpaca, and Hammer were all codenames Shi Lei asked them to give each of them after they arrived here.

And let them get used to it. From now on, everyone here will just call each other by their code name. And her code name is, of course, not Little Stone, but Wuzhishan!
