Chapter 1190 Pulling the Trouser Pocket, the Scammer Incident

Because of Zhou Chen's song, several people tossed and turned that night and had trouble falling asleep.

The people living in this windy courtyard all had their own troubles. Zhou Chen's song reminded them of their past and sorrow, and naturally they were in a difficult mood.

Hu Youyu even went to Zhou Chen several times to persuade him, but was rejected by Zhou Chen. Even after returning to the room, he still sent a WeChat message to Zhou Chen.

Xu Hongdou was in her room, looking at the photo of herself and Chen Nanxing under the dim light, with an extremely complicated expression.

"Chen Nanxing, I miss you again. His song made me think of you again uncontrollably. If it were you, you would definitely persuade me not to cry, just like his song. I feel like his song is as if he is singing it to me."

Holding the photo, Xu Hongdou couldn't fall asleep, and her mind was full of the melody and lyrics of Zhou Chen's song.

Three days passed in a flash, and a few days passed. The phone that Xu Hongdou sent for repair had not received a reply yet. She was not in a hurry at all. Instead, she took Damai to make milk fans and flower cakes with Aunt Agui and Aunt Baoping.

In this day and age, many things cannot be separated from mobile phones, especially young people. They would feel uneasy if they can't touch their mobile phones for a day.

But Xu Hongdou was fine. She hadn't used her mobile phone for almost a week. She was not irritable at all, as if she had gotten used to life without a mobile phone.

In the evening, Zhou Chen received a call. The matter he asked the company employees to check had received a reply, so he was going to go to Xie Zhiyao's house next door to tell him.

As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Xu Hongdou in the yard with Ma Qiushan.

"Zhou Chen, it's so late, where are you going?"

"To Mr. Xie's house next door. He asked me to help check the matter and there is news. Do you want to go together? After talking about things, go out for a walk?"

Xu Hongdou tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, and soon nodded.

"Okay, I can't sleep anyway, so I'll go out for a walk with you."

After spending so many days with Zhou Chen, she no longer has any defense against him. If it were before, she would definitely not go out for a walk with a man so late.

"Have you eaten dinner?"

"No."

"Oh, are you losing weight?"

"No, I just didn't think of eating. Anyway, there's nothing to do. I can eat anytime. No rush."

Since she came to Yunmiao Village, except for the first few days of wandering around, she has been lying flat for the next few days. She sleeps until she wakes up naturally in the morning and sleeps whenever she wants at night.

As for eating, except for lunch, which is on time, breakfast and dinner are not ordered. She eats when she remembers. If she doesn't remember and is not hungry, she won't eat.

"Then you are quite comfortable."

Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou walked into the courtyard of Xie Zhiyao's house. When they were about to enter the main hall, they suddenly heard the quarrel between Xie Zhiyao and Xie Zhiyuan brothers in the house.

Xie Zhiyao asked Xie Zhiyuan to go to school, but Xie Zhiyuan refused to go, saying that he didn't want to embarrass himself again.

As they quarreled, Xie Zhiyao impatiently told Xie Zhiyuan about his diarrhea in class and his pants being pulled down. Xie Zhiyuan was so angry that he screamed and shouted that he wanted to die, and then rushed out of the house.

But when he ran out of the house, he was dumbfounded. He looked at Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou standing outside the door with a confused face. He couldn't control himself and fell directly in front of Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou.

Xie Zhiyao heard the scream and ran out of the room. Seeing Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou, he was also a little confused.

Xu Hongdou pulled Zhou Chen's clothes and winked at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen expressed his purpose expressionlessly.

"Mr. Xie, I came here to tell you about something you asked me to do a few days ago, but it seems that we are not here at the right time. In this case, we will not bother you anymore. We can talk about it tomorrow."

As he said this, he was about to turn around and leave, and Xu Hongdou followed closely.

But when Xie Zhiyuan, who had fallen to the ground, heard that Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou were leaving, he excitedly rushed over and hugged Zhou Chen's thighs.

"You can't leave, you can't leave."

Xie Zhiyao looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, did you hear everything just now?"

Xu Hongdou immediately waved her hand: "No, we didn't hear anything, we just arrived, we really didn't hear anything."

But this sentence was like a cover-up, how could the Xie brothers believe it?

Xie Zhiyao said, "Zhou Chen, come in and talk. It's not a good idea to stand outside. I also want to know what happened to Xiaoxia."

As soon as Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou entered the house, Xie Zhiyuan closed the door of the main room with great force, then used his body to hold the door, staring at Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou, not letting them have a chance to leave.

His appearance made the three people in the room feel helpless, but Xie Zhiyao didn't take it seriously, just asked Zhou Chen, "Did you find out anything about the Kevin brother Xiaoxia mentioned?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "We found out some things, but not the details, but according to my people's investigation, this Kevin is not like what Xiaoxia said, he is very likely to be a liar."

"Liar?"

Xie Zhiyao's face changed drastically. In fact, he also had doubts about Kevin, so he asked Zhou Chen to help investigate.

Zhou Chen's speed surprised him, and the results of the investigation shocked him even more.

"Are you sure?"

Zhou Chen said: "You know that the people in my company can't lie to me, and they are all professionals. This answer is based on investigation and analysis. I dare not say it is 100%, but the accuracy rate is definitely more than 90%."

Xie Zhiyao's face turned ugly. Zhou Chen has said this, so it is almost certain that the Kevin brother Xiaoxia mentioned is probably really a liar, and the purpose of the liar to deceive Xiaoxia can only be money.

"Zhou Chen, thank you so much this time. I will tell Xiaochun and Xiaoxia about Kevin. If it weren't for you, Xiaoxia would have been deceived."

"Just believe me. I actually told Xiaoxia that it's not a bad thing to want to go out and try your luck. It's just that going out alone will inevitably encounter difficulties. He has basically never been far away. He is simple-minded and is the easiest to be deceived."

"You are right. Xiaochun and I are also worried about this. Now that we know that the other party is a liar, we will naturally not let Xiaoxia be deceived again."

Although Xie Xiaoxia is not Xie Zhiyao's biological brother, the relationship between the two families is very close. He can't watch Xie Xiaoxia being deceived.

Xie Zhiyuan wanted to get angry when he saw that no one paid attention to him, but when he heard about Xie Xiaoxia, he suppressed his anger.

After the talk, seeing that Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou were about to leave, he shouted: "No, you are not allowed to leave."

Xie Zhiyao showed a helpless expression to Zhou Chen and the others, and then glared at Xie Zhiyuan fiercely.

"Don't make trouble, get out of the way."

"I won't let them go. If they go out and spread my affairs, my reputation will be ruined. Ah, I can't let them go."

Seeing that Xie Zhiyuan refused to give in, Xie Zhiyao was so angry that he took out his slippers and wanted to hit them, but Xu Hongdou stopped him.

"Hey, hey, don't hit him, don't hit him, talk to him nicely, don't hit him."

"I didn't want to hit him, but this kid, ah..."

Zhou Chen smiled and said to Xie Zhiyuan: "Ayuan, we have known each other for quite a while. I also taught you to ride a horse. Don't you even believe me?"

Xie Zhiyuan pursed his lips: "I believe you, but I don't believe her." His eyes were fixed on Xu Hongdou.

Xu Hongdou raised her hand and said, "I can promise that I will never tell anyone."

Xie Zhiyuan hesitated for a while, and said, "I still don't believe you."

Zhou Chen said at this time: "Well, Ayuan, I promise you that Xu Hongdou will never tell anyone. If she tells anyone, you come to me and I will be responsible."

Xie Zhiyuan: "If she spreads it, what's the point of me going to you again?"

Xie Zhiyuan couldn't listen anymore. He stood up angrily and pointed at Xie Zhiyuan and shouted, "Ayuan, stop making trouble. Do you hear me? If you don't get out of the way, don't blame me for being rude."

Xie Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said loudly, "I won't let you go. I can't let my reputation be ruined. I will defend my reputation to the death."

Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing. This kid is really stubborn.

So he stood up and walked to Xie Zhiyuan at the door. Xie Zhiyuan looked nervous.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Chen just stretched out a hand and gently pushed, and Xie Zhiyuan uncontrollably moved away.

Zhou Chen opened the door and said to Xie Zhiyuan: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Although this matter is a bit embarrassing and hurts self-esteem, a real man should not retreat, but should be brave enough to face difficulties and solve them. I think you should listen to your brother and go back to school."

After that, he walked out first, and Xu Hongdou followed behind her. Before leaving, she made a cheering gesture to Xie Zhiyuan.

"I won't tell anyone either. Zhou Chen is right. You should overcome difficulties instead of avoiding them. Come on."

Xie Zhiyao looked at his dumb brother and shook his head and sighed helplessly. This kid is still immature.

After leaving Xie Zhiyao's house, Zhou Chen and Xu Hongdou did not return to the small courtyard, but walked forward on the dark village road.

Xu Hongdou sighed, "Xie Zhiyuan is only a teenager of 16 or 17 years old. I can understand his feelings when something like this happens. Children of this age care about face and self-esteem the most. No wonder he doesn't want to go back to school."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's really embarrassing, but it's not a good thing to keep running away. What Mr. Xie said is right. If it doesn't work, just change schools."

"We'll be at Yang Guanjun's barbecue stall soon. Do you want to go get some food?"

Xu Hongdou shook her head quickly, "No, I've been here for less than half a month and I've eaten several barbecues. I can't eat anymore. I'd better go back and make rice noodles with Damai."

"Okay, then we'll go around and go back."

"Yeah."

Maybe because the two of them were walking together in the dark, the atmosphere was a little ambiguous, so Xu Hongdou deliberately found a topic.

"Zhou Chen, do you have a company in Modu? You found the person Xiaochun and the others were looking for so quickly."

Zhou Chen explained, "I do have a company, and there happens to be someone doing research in the company, so I found it so quickly."

"Oh."

There was another silence for a while.

"The song you sang yesterday was very nice. Can I ask you to give me a copy of the lyrics? I really like the lyrics of that song."

"Of course, no problem. I will write it for you when I get back. If you like it, I can also teach you, or I can go to the recording studio in the city to record the song and send it to you."

Xu Hongdou waved her hand and said, "No need to be so troublesome. I just want to see the lyrics."

"No problem."

Zhou Chen thought for a while and decided to take the next step, so he asked tentatively: "Hongdou, I remember when we met in the capital, you were not alone, there was another person. I think she has a very good relationship with you. She should be your good friend, right?"

Xu Hongdou suddenly stopped and his expression became very complicated.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Chen asked knowingly.

Xu Hongdou was silent for a long time, and finally said: "She is indeed my best friend, but I don't want to say it now, I'm sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry to me? She is your friend. If you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to say it, don't say it. I just asked casually. I am the one who should say I am sorry."

Xu Hongdou's answer surprised Zhou Chen. He thought that mentioning Chen Nanxing would touch Xu Hongdou and tell him about the incident between her and Chen Nanxing.

But Xu Hongdou's answer was different from what he thought. It seemed that Xu Hongdou still hadn't come out and didn't want to share Chen Nanxing with others for the time being.

However, he was not discouraged. This was the first time he mentioned it. Although Xu Hongdou didn't want to say it, he didn't mean to be angry. This was a good sign.

Maybe they talked about a sensitive topic, so the two walked for a while and then returned to the courtyard.

Early the next morning, while Zhou Chen was still meditating, Xie Xiaoxia ran into the small courtyard and went straight to Zhou Chen who was meditating.

"Brother Zhou, I have something to ask you."

A few seconds later, Zhou Chen opened his eyes, and Ma Qiushan next to him also opened his eyes and looked at Xie Xiaoxia curiously.

When Zhou Chen saw it was Xie Xiaoxia, he knew why he was here.

"You are here to ask me about Kevin. I have already told Xie Zhiyao, and everything I told you is the truth."

Xie Xiaoxia asked eagerly: "I don't believe Brother Kevin is a liar. He is really nice and he didn't lie to me, let alone take anything from me. How could he be a liar?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "I told you, what I told is the truth. As for whether you believe it or not, that's your business, but you have to understand that I know you, and I only help you for the sake of your elder brother and sister. I’m checking it out for you. As for Kevin, I don’t even know him. Do you think it’s necessary for me to set him up? What’s the benefit to me of deceiving you?”

Nana walked out of the room. She was very surprised to see Xie Xiaoxia roaring anxiously.

"Xiaoxia, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

"I……"

Seeing his sweetheart Nana, Xie Xiaoxia's momentum suddenly weakened by half.

"Xiaoxia, Xie Xiaoxia, Xie Xiaoxia."

Xie Xiaochun shouted and rushed into the small courtyard. When he saw Xie Xiaoxia, he immediately rushed over and gave him a hard blow.

"You kid, why don't you know what's good and what's good? Zhou Chen is helping us, and you still come to question them. Are you confused?"

Xie Xiaoxia was so angry that she hit her head again.

Xie Xiaoxia was beaten so hard that she didn't dare to resist and just covered her head.

Xie Xiaochun beat Xie Xiaoxia, and then apologized to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, I'm sorry, this kid is too stupid and too naive. He doesn't believe us. He has to believe that liar. He doesn't know anything about it."

Zhou Chen didn't mind: "It doesn't matter. After all, I have never experienced such a thing, so it's normal not to believe it."

After saying that, he looked at Xie Xiaoxia again and said: "You may not believe what I say, but Xiaochun is your biological sister. Others may lie to you and harm you, but it is absolutely impossible for her to lie to you and harm you, Xiaoxia , you are already an adult and should have your own thoughts.”

"Remember a few words, you must not have the intention of harming others, you must have the intention of guarding against others, you must be courteous for nothing, and you can steal on sight. Think carefully about what Kevin said to you, and think about what he asked you to do. "What do you want me to do? I believe you can see the problem."

In fact, it can be seen from the plot that Kevin's method of deceiving Xie Xiaoxia was not very clever. Xie Xiaoxia was deceived entirely because she was too naive and trusted the other party too much. People chose this trick because they took a fancy to him. he.
