Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 266 

Christina strolled around the neighborhood and finally sat on a stone chair under the shade of a tree.She raised her head and looked thoughtfully up at a commercial building of more than 60 stories in front of her.

The entire building's exterior wall was made of black special glass.

IP&G Group, the huge silver logo in the sun came into her view, low-key while extravagant.

As if something bad suddenly struck her mind, she lowered her head and kicked the small gravel beside her feet.

This neighborhood was very close to where she worked, with a distance of only two kilometers.

Before, she only wanted to rent a house as soon as possible without thinking too much.

Now looking at this building, she felt very uncomfortable.

"Should I go somewhere else?"

She was struggling with the question.

The location of this residential area was very advantageous.

It was surrounded by commercial streets for dining and shopping.

The traffic and security in the eastern part of the city were among the best in the country.

If it weren't for that the documents for the reconstruction of the community had not been approved yet, this place would have become a commercial district like the one across the street.

"What are you thinking?"

"I was wondering if I should move" A voice came from behind, and she replied subconsciously.

She was bemused for a second, then turned around and looked at the two people in front of her in surprise.

"Christina, I heard you just moved here"

Betty looked at her and said in a complicated and low voice.

Crystal came back, but she was still a little angry.

"You were so heartless to drive me away this morning.I wanted to leave you and not to care your living or death anymore, but Aunt Garner said that it was auspicious to burn incense and pray after moving into a new house."

Finishing the words, she added, "By the way, Derek is here too."

In the corridor behind them, there was really a long and thin figure coming.

Looking at these people who came here spontaneously, Christina had no expression on her face.

"Aunt Garner, according to Chinese custom, should we burn incense and pray in the four corners of the house?"

"Why don’t we go out and buy some food for dinner? Let's celebrate by cooking at home:"

Crystal and Betty chatted enthusiastically as if they were moving into a new house.

They also planned to buy a metal basin to burn some ancestor money for good luck.

After sending Christina to buy things, Crystal and Betty went upstairs to work on their superstition events.

Derek accompanied Christina to the nearby supermarket.

Without saying a word, they walked out of the gate of the neighborhood one after another, but their steps were naturally tacit.

"How did the two of them get along in the past? Was Derek silent like that before?"

Crystal looked at the two figures and a piece of gossip welled up in her heart.She felt extremely flattered to have spent two months with Derek.

Christina was also in the apartment, but she had been in a bad state of mind before, so they basically had no communication.

Betty was seriously burning incense and praying in the apartment.

When it was almost finished, she told Crystal with a smile, "You'll find out soon."

"The shorter a woman's skirt is, the better the performance of the capital market..."

When Crystal ran to open the door, she saw Christina and Derek coming back with big bags of things.She also heard Derek's clear and pleasant voice saying something strange.

"A man was on a business trip and was about to stay in a hotel.

The tour guide took him to a villa area with upscale European decoration for the night.

The man was worried that the fee would be too high, while the tour guide said that the accommodation fee was only half the market price.

The man was surprised when he heard that, so he suspected that there was something wrong with the place"

"What are you talking about?"

Crystal took over a large bag of fresh ingredients and asked them with a gossiping face.

Christina glanced at her and told her, "Derek is telling a joke"

Crystal was dumbfound.

The two of them went straight to the small living room and sat down.

Derek continued in a very calm voice, "..The tour guide told him not to worry, because the place was used to raise pigs in the past."

Christina squinted and nodded in response to show her understanding.

Crystal moved to the kitchen in a petrified state and asked Betty with a confused expression, "What are they talking about?"

Could that be a joke? Betty opened the bag and began to wash the vegetables.

She smiled and said, "Derek used to talk about the word ‘finance’ He said it was too close to the money and too few people knew about it.You should be careful because there were traps everywhere""

Crystal was still confused.

Was he telling a financial joke just now? She turned around and glanced at the two people on the sofa again.

Crystal concluded, "Derek's way of coaxing people is so special."

Mr.McDreamy was forcing himself to tell a joke.

"It's not usually like this.Derek tells Christina jokes because she is in a bad mood."

In normal circumstances, nobody could expect Derek to say one more word.

Crystal sighed, "They match quite much."

"If she had listened to her elders from the beginning, there wouldn't be so many things."

Betty's face suddenly darkened.

"I kept those two cans of ashes at home and used clean water to bless them every day.Anyway, I did that for the peace of mind."

There was also a trace of sadness in Crystal's eyes.

The room was so small, so they did not dare to talk about the kids anymore, afraid that Christina would hear and feel sad.

At 5: 00 in the afternoon, they prepared a table full of dishes.

The four of them ate around the small round table.

It seemed very warm, but Derek, as the only man, looked uncomfortable among the three women.

"Derek, we will use serving chopsticks.You can have dinner with us."

Crystal had spent two months with him and knew his temper.

Every time before a meal, he would separate the food like eating Japanese cuisine, and they even had to eat at different times.

"Just for good luck"

Betty put a bowl of rice in front of him.

Derek's beautiful brows furrowed slightly.He seemed not used to eating at the same table with others, and he didn't like to be too close to others.

However, Christina naturally put a large chopstick of vegetables into his bowl.

Derek's handsome face froze.He stared at his bowl and then turned to look at her.

Christina ignored him and calmly continued to pick up food for herself.

Betty seemed to have guessed it would be like this.

With a smile on her face, she told Crystal to eat more.

"Don't keep the food overnight.Eat more."

Crystal's eyes widened.She watched that Derek struggle for a minute across from her.

Then he picked up the new chopsticks expressionlessly and finished the bowl of rice mechanically.

Crystal suddenly felt like laughing.

Derek was so reluctant but afraid to say no, which was really interesting.

"Christina, you can tell Derek if you are in trouble.As long as you speak, he will definitely help you..."

After dinner, they were tidying up in the small bedroom.

Crystal hesitated for a moment and spoke meaningfully.She remembered that Christina had said something about the death of the children.

Christina had doubts about that.It would be acceptable for an ordinary person, but Derek was not ordinary.He could find it out clearly.

Christina glanced at her and said nothing in the end.

After Betty finished cleaning up the dishes, she prepared some fruit.

There were only three women left in the house now.

Derek answered a phone call after finishing the meal so he left in advance.

"Christina, how are you going to feed yourself in the future?"

"She will call for a takeout"

"Derek bought her an electric purple clay pot.It will be easy to make soup..""

Betty and Crystal were chatting, but Christina didn't join them.She always looked at the window intentionally or not.

It was at dusk, a few stars appeared, and the night gradually became dark.

Christina looked a little absent-minded.

Just now...

Derek was about to leave just now.She followed him and had something to say to him.

But as soon as she walked out of the apartment building, she saw Larry hurry over and talk with Derek in a low voice.

"I found the USB drive."

"I checked according to your method.This USB drive is so clean that there are no fingerprints.This is very odd.Even Steven's fingerprints are not there.It was obviously erased by others on purpose.Someone saw this video."

The wind outside the window was a little cold and refreshing.

Christina came back to her senses and looked again at the full moon covered by clouds in the dark night sky.

..

Who should she trust? At about 10 o'clock, Betty and Crystal went back.

Seeing that Christina was in a good mood today, they were both relieved.

After taking a shower, Christina came out and sat alone on the small sofa.She shrank habitually with her legs curling up and was deep in thought.Her mind was in a mess...

Suddenly, a thud shocked her.She raised her head stiffly and looked at the ceiling.

Then, there was another thud...

The noise was intermittent as if someone was playing basketball upstairs.IP&G Group building opposite her was already very annoying, the new tenant upstairs was even worse.

She looked at the clock on the wall and told herself that if the guy upstairs was still so noisy after 12 o'clock, she would change clothes and go upstairs to knock on his door and ask him if he wanted to die.

She thought maybe the guy upstairs sensed her resentment and stopped the noise in time at 11:50.

The night finally became quiet.

"You're lucky this time!"

After being tortured by the noise for about two hours, Christina was exhausted.

She shouted angrily at the ceiling and got really tired.

Then she went back to her bedroom, crawled into bed and fell asleep quickly.

Postscript: Derek's joke: With the investment, an area could be able to develop at a high speed in a short time.

For example, a small place that used to be a desolate and uninhabited place could have a lot of magnificent buildings in the blink of an eye. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Everyone was busy with housing speculation, and then one day, they found that they were screwed...

"There's nothing to play with.Let's go, let's go..."

Then people withdrew one after another, but the benefits for the local area were still great.

The original pig farm turned into a villa, and the infrastructure also got improved, but it was hard to say how the fortune of the new head would be.

In fact, the original version of the joke was like this: "Hey, why is the villa hotel with luxurious decoration so cheap?"

"Don't worry.This place was used to raise pigs in the past."

Well, as expected, there was no humor in Derek…
