Speculation is useless without evidence.
Besides, if Cristiano wanted to deal with him, wouldn't he also want to deal with Cristiano?
By the time they left the construction site, it was already dark.
The group headed to a restaurant for dinner.
Du Ruoxin happened to receive a call from Grace. "Hello, are you off work?"
"Mm, Sister Xin, where are you?"
"About to go eat. You? Have you eaten?"
"No."
"I'll send you my location, let's eat together."
"Okay."
After sending her location, Du Ruoxin looked up and met Rong Jingshu's eyes, which were filled with sorrow.
"Jingshu, aren't you on duty? Why do you have time to come to Rong's today?" You've been with us all day.
Rong Jingshu smiled awkwardly, "Taking annual leave, hehe, annual leave."
Du Ruoxin pouted. This brother-in-law couldn't even lie, he was too innocent.
The more she looked at him, the more she felt he and Grace made a good match.
Rong Jingshu felt a bit uneasy under her gaze. "Sister-in-law, are you... alright?"
Don't stare at him like that, he's afraid his brother will misunderstand!
Du Ruoxin gave an aunt-like smile. "Nothing, hehe, nothing."
Rong Jingshu: "..."
Why did he feel a chill down his spine?
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Ivy showed no intention of leaving, which annoyed Du Ruoxin.
Just as she was about to ask her to leave, Ivy said, "The school design might need to be changed. To avoid affecting the construction period, I'll go back and move the playground, swimming pool, and laboratory to the other side."
What?
Du Ruoxin thought she misheard and said softly, "The foundation has been dug so deep, and construction has already started."
"How much will it cost to make such a drastic design change?"
Ivy smiled charmingly. "The laboratory was originally designed for five floors. Who says it can only go up and not down?"
Du Ruoxin: "You mean you'll need electricity and lighting even in broad daylight?"
Ivy: "We can use solar power. Underground lighting will not only use no industrial land but also store electricity for nighttime illumination, saving electricity costs."
Du Ruoxin: "What about equipment maintenance and consumables? And the underground drainage system and pipelines will also need to be redone."
Changing the ground-level structures to underground buildings involves too many considerations, it's not something that can be settled in a few words.
Ivy realized that Du Ruoxin was deliberately arguing with her.
She stopped arguing and asked, "Ruoxin, do you have any good suggestions?"
Du Ruoxin crossed her arms. "Why the rush? I'm not trying to show off. Naturally, I'll wait for the police's results."
Ivy: "—"
But things aren't that simple...
Qin Yunxi quickly stated, "Ruoxin is right, I support her!"
Finally, he didn't forget to pull Rong Jingyang into it. "Old Yang, what do you think?"
All eyes turned to Rong Jingyang.
Du Ruoxin thought: Rong Jingyang, if you dare to support Ivy, I'll immediately tell Trevor to throw her out!
No, Trevor alone can't handle Mu Li and Lin Xuanyao. She was considering whether to ask her elder brother to send another person.
Ivy also looked at him with anticipation.
Rong Jingshu looked nervous: Damn, this is going to cause trouble! If Big Brother supports Ivy, I'll definitely help Trevor in a 2v2!
"Let's wait first," Rong Jingyang said calmly.
Rong Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief and gave his cousin a thumbs-up. "Big Brother is wise!"
Rong Jingyang shot him a glare.
"Hahaha," Qin Yunxi burst out laughing. "As expected, husband and wife are of one mind."
Grace came in just as she heard Qin Yunxi's peculiar laughter.
What husband and wife of one mind?
"Grace is here," Qin Yunxi patted the chair next to him. "Sit here with Brother!"
Grace didn't even look at him and walked straight to Du Ruoxin's side.
The moment she entered the private room, she was stunned. Why were there so many people? But she didn't show it and softly called out, "Sister Xin."
Du Ruoxin moved a chair for her and said to the waiter, "You can start serving."
A table full of delicacies quickly filled the private room with aroma.
Ivy's eyes almost popped out as she looked at the dishes served—most of them were things Rong Jingyang disliked or couldn't eat.
