Yan Jiecheng's Leisurely Life in Siheyuan

Chapter 109 Reminder
Once Yan Jiecheng understood, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng still didn't answer her, Fu Linlin, who was standing to the side, angrily nudged Yan Jiecheng's arm and said something.

"Brother Cheng, I'm asking you a question. How should we help Sister Xiao'e with this?"

Yan Jiecheng looked at his wife speechlessly, thinking, "Well, I haven't even agreed yet, and you're already agonizing over how to help?"

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but shake his head and said helplessly to Fu Linlin.

"I can't help with this. If I'm not mistaken, that thing is no longer in Xu Damao's hands."

Seeing Fu Linlin's anxious look, Yan Jiecheng waved his hand and said.

"Don't worry, I won't let you lose face. Although I can't help him with this, I won't let Lou Xiao'e make a wasted trip."

"The next time you meet her, tell her, 'Hesitation only leads to trouble,' and have her tell her family this."

Seeing the puzzled look on Fu Linlin's face, Yan Jiecheng continued.

"Tell her that this statement is far more valuable than all her so-called things, and encourage her and her family to think it over carefully."

"Linlin, you said those words to her, so you've done right by our friendship."

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's serious expression, Fu Linlin knew that these words were very important, so she immediately nodded in agreement.

The next day, Fu Linlin took a day off and went to the Lou family's house.

When Fu Linlin knocked on the door and explained her purpose to Lou's mother, who opened the door, Lou's mother warmly welcomed Fu Linlin into the home.

After inviting Fu Linlin to sit down, Lou's mother went upstairs to call Lou Xiao'e.

Fu Linlin sat in the Lou family's living room, looking at the magnificent Lou family home, and secretly marveled.

Just as Fu Linlin was looking around at the furnishings in the room, Lou Xiao'e also came downstairs.

When Fu Linlin saw Lou Xiao'e, she almost didn't recognize her.

Unlike her usual simple attire, Lou Xiao'e was dressed in a silk nightgown, exuding an air of nobility.

"Linlin, how did you find your way here?"

Faced with Lou Xiao'e's question, Fu Linlin suppressed her surprise and forced a smile.

"Sister Xiao'e, how about we go outside and talk?"

Lou Xiao'e hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Linlin, wait for me a moment, I'm going to change my clothes."

A moment later, Lou Xiao'e changed back into her simple clothes and left the Lou family with Fu Linlin.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e, who was dressed very differently from her, Fu Linlin felt very complicated.

The two arrived at a park and found a corner to sit down.

After sitting down, Lou Xiao'e couldn't wait to ask.

"Linlin, you've come to see me at this time. Has the matter I asked you for come to fruition?"

Fu Linlin shook her head and said.

“I asked my partner yesterday, and they said it’s a difficult matter and that I shouldn’t have too high hopes.”

Lou Xiao'e was very disappointed upon hearing this, but she quickly recovered and forced a smile.

"It's nothing, just material possessions. If they're gone, they're gone. I'm just upset. Linlin, it's rare for you to come all this way. Let's go shopping later to relax. After we're tired, I'll take you out for Western food."

Fu Linlin shook her head and said.

"Sister Xiao'e, although I couldn't help with this matter, my husband asked me to pass on a message to you. He said that the value of this message far exceeds all the things you have."

Those things are incredibly valuable; what could possibly be worth that much?
Lou Xiao'e looked at Fu Linlin with a face full of doubt.

Fu Linlin didn't delay and spoke up.

"Hesitation leads to trouble. This is a saying my husband asked me to pass on to you so you can tell your family." Lou Xiao'e wasn't particularly clever, but having grown up in the Lou family, she was quite familiar with their situation.

Therefore, he was very cautious after hearing what Fu Linlin said.

After thinking for a while, Lou Xiao'e, still somewhat uneasy, asked again for confirmation.

"Linlin, are you saying that your family asked you to bring this to me? And that this is more valuable than my other things?"

Even if Fu Linlin was an idiot, she could tell from Lou Xiao'e's expression that this sentence was not simple, so she immediately nodded to confirm it.

"Yes, my partner asked me to bring it over."

After receiving confirmation, Lou Xiao'e, no longer caring about shopping, anxiously spoke to Linlin.

"Linlin, I have to go back right away. Let's make another appointment next time we have time."

"Okay, be careful on the road then."

Lou Xiao'e walked halfway, then turned back, took Fu Linlin's hand, and said...

"Linlin, thank you. I will remember this favor, and the Lou family and I will never forget it."

After saying this, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly left.

Watching Lou Xiao'e's departing figure, Fu Linlin stayed in the same spot for a long time, only leaving with a complicated expression after Lou Xiao'e's shadow was no longer visible.

That night, Fu Linlin lay in bed and told Yan Jiecheng, who was beside her, about her meeting with Lou Xiao'e that day.

Finally, Fu Linlin sighed and said.

"Brother Cheng, I've really seen something new today at the Lou family's place, and I finally understand why you always find Lou Xiao'e so disagreeable?"

Seeing Fu Linlin's emotional expression, Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but laugh.

"What? Did seeing the Lou family's extravagant lifestyle provoke you?"

Although she felt that her husband's words were strange, Fu Linlin didn't care and said with a complicated expression.

"Brother Cheng, you have no idea, when I saw Sister Xiao'e at the Lou family, I almost didn't recognize her."

"Although she wasn't dressed up and was just wearing pajamas, her expression was so convincing that she was unrecognizable."

Faced with Fu Linlin's sentiments, Yan Jiecheng said dismissively.

"What's the big deal? The Lou family isn't what it used to be."

"Not to mention twenty years ago, even ten years ago, people like you and me wouldn't even be able to get into the Lou family's house."

……

The atmosphere in the Lou family was very heavy. Lou Bancheng, who had just returned from outside, learned about what had happened that day from his daughter. He sat on the sofa with a solemn expression and remained silent for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Lou Bancheng sighed deeply and said to his wife and daughter beside him.

"It seems the situation has become very serious. We can't hesitate any longer; we need to make arrangements as soon as possible."

Lou's mother looked at Lou Bancheng with a face full of anxiety and said.

"It can't be that bad, maybe it was just something someone said casually."

Lou Bancheng shook his head and said.

"It's better to believe something is true than to believe it isn't."

Then Lou Bancheng looked at Lou Xiao'e beside him and said.

"Xiao'e, it seems that your divorce isn't entirely a bad thing. At least now you can leave without any worries."

Lou Xiao'e felt conflicted after hearing her father's words of comfort. She remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"Dad, what will happen to all this stuff in the house if you leave so suddenly?"
