Chapter 145: Feng Jia’s Pupils Dilated

Feng Jia subconsciously fiddled with the engagement ring. Did he think he didn’t want it?

Gu Chu had already rejected him. He had to wait for a time when she wouldn’t refuse.

Speaking of which, Lu Shen asked casually, “Where’s the household registration booklet? I’ll see if Gu Wan is in it.”

The temperature had dropped drastically today. Feng Jia happened to be wearing the coat that he had worn when he went to the Gu residence that day. The household registration booklet was in his pocket. He stood up and walked to the clothes rack and took it out.

Then, he accidentally took out Gu Chu’s underwear.

Lu Shen: “?”

Feng Jia’s pupils dilated. No wonder the feeling in his hand felt a little strange. He remembered that they did it in the kitchen that day…

He had put it in his pocket

The coat had only been worn once, so the housekeeper did not wash it. No one had touched it, so it was in his pocket the whole time.

Feng Jia immediately stuffed it back into his pocket.

Lu Shen frowned suspiciously.

What did he just see?

Lu Shen thought that he was seeing things. How could Feng Jia carry that kind of thing around with him? He was not a pervert, but it looked like it. He could not help but ask, “What is that?”

Feng Jia immediately controlled his expression. “A handkerchief.”

Lu Shen said doubtfully, “Oh.”

Feng Jia gritted his teeth.

Before Lu Shen left, he still nagged him like a mother. “Chu Chu is actually very reasonable. In her anger, she still told you where she was. She didn’t just disappear. It’s better than the kind of women who make things confusing, right?”

So, it was better to appease her as soon as possible!

Feng Jia looked at the household registration booklet on the table and fell into deep thought.

To make it easier to check on the twenty households who filed a complaint, Gu Chu and her secretary checked out of the hotel room and found a lodging nearby.

The secretary bought a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge and a bottle of milk from the convenience store, and returned to the lodging.

Gu Chu sat on the bed and was processing emails. The secretary said, “Director, you should eat something. You haven’t eaten much all day.”

Gu Chu responded, but her eyes never left the computer screen.

There was beef in the ramen they had this morning. Gu Chu only ate the noodles and didn’t eat anything else because she felt the meat was too gamey. In the afternoon, they only ate a bowl of Gaifan at a roadside stall. She felt nauseated and didn’t eat much.

“Director, your stomach has been uncomfortable for some time. Did you go for a check-up?”

Gu Chu did not even raise her head. “When would I have time?”

She had been busy with the matter regarding Shengyan previously. After completing that task, she had rushed to the capital.

The secretary looked at her suspiciously. “Are you sure you’re not pregnant? Did you have your period?”

Gu Chu’s fingers stopped moving. “It should be here in the next two days.”

She said without hesitation, “CEO Feng and I have been doing it quite frequently recently. If I am really pregnant, wouldn’t it happen a long time ago?”

The secretary pouted. “Oh.”

Maybe it was just the stomach.

“Alright, stop studying me. Come and take a look at this.” Gu Chu turned the computer screen to her. “This woman’s name is Li Xiu. She’s the one who led the opposition to the project. She’s over sixty years old.”

Speaking of work, the secretary immediately jumped up and came over to take a look.

Gu Chu ate the vegetable porridge and said, “Her husband passed away a few years ago, and her son went missing twenty years ago. Now, she’s the only one in the family. It’s really strange that such an old person would take the lead to cause trouble every few days.”

The secretary also sensed that something was wrong. “How did her son go missing?”

Gu Chu replied, “I don’t know. It’s not written here, but we can ask the residents nearby.”

As she spoke, her phone screen lit up. She glanced at it and saw that it was Lin Yu calling.

She answered, “Lin Yu.”

Lin Yu had just gotten off work and was driving home. “Chu Chu, I saw your Wechat moments. Are you in the capital now?”

“Yes, I arrived last night.” She told him what she saw, “My secretary and I went undercover and investigated more than ten other families. We found that they didn’t object at all, except for the leader, Li Xiu.”

“I’m also investigating it. They want three times the compensation, but it could be for other reasons.” He frowned. “Don’t fight them head-on.”

Gu Chu knew they couldn’t fight the locals. She replied, “We pretended to be tourists and got some information, but we didn’t expose our identities.”

Lin Yu was still a little worried. “Be careful. Don’t be too bold.”
