Chapter 1096: For What Were You Looking For Jiahang

In the early morning, just as the day broke, a taxi came into Mang village.

Ye Hao, sitting in the car, came to such an underdeveloped village for the first time.

He was stunned by the scene before his eyes, and could not imagine that Yanyan had lived in such a backward and poor place for three years.

What was that in sight? Farmland, vegetable field, and some adobe houses spa.r.s.ely scattered.

He had never been in such an adobe house.

The taxi stopped at the door of an adobe house, the first house they saw after entering the village.

“h.e.l.lo, do you know where Chen Jiahang lives?” Ye Hao asked a woman in front of him, a woman in her fifties.

“For what are you looking for Jiahang, young man?” The woman asked, in a local accent.

Ye Hao, however, answered with some kind of restlessness, “I am looking for him to do some businesses.”

“Oh, for business, that’s good.” The woman then pointed to the road ahead and said, “go along this road, turn right at the third crossing, and then go down a path. The house painted white is Chen Jiahang’s house.”

The woman said with a smile. Jiahang was the pride of their village. If it were not for him and his wife, people in their village would definitely not have the chance to earn several thousand yuan a month.

Ye Hao expressed thanks, and then got on the taxi again, heading towards the direction the woman just said. After a few minutes, he reached the third crossing, and then looked to the right.

Soon, he saw a house painted white. From afar, it was the best house in the village.

“Mr. Ye, the road is too narrow to drive. You have to walk over by yourself.”

Driver w.a.n.g shrugged helplessly.

Ye Hao took out his wallet directly, and handed a stack of cash to the driver.

“Wait for me here, don’t drive away. Later, you need to send me to Ming City.”

Ye Hao said. From his eyes one could see his anxiety and irritability.

He arrived in Ye City yesterday midnight. It was too late and there was no place to rent a car. He had to stop a taxi to get here.

“OK.” The driver nodded. This Mr. Ye was very rich and generous. He gave him several times the money he deserved, so he was quite willing to send him to such a far place.

Ye Hao walked on the mud road, which was so narrow that cars couldn’t pa.s.s at all. On both sides of the road were farmland. One could see the rice.

It was just early in the morning. Many villagers had rushed to the fields to pull seedlings. Ye Hao met two or three of them along the way.

Walking in haste, he did not know that these villagers pointed at him and gossiped behind him.

“Who is this man in such decent clothes? How could he come to our village?” Said a woman.

“I don’t know. I haven’t seen him before. It seemed that he is heading for Jiahang’s house. He’s in such a hurry.” An uncle frowned doubtfully.

“Well, should he be Jiahang’s wife’s ex-husband? I heard that Jiahang’s wife had run away a few months ago, who was said to have gone to Ye City. Someone said that she seemed to come back yesterday. Is this man looking for Jiahang’s wife?”

“Very likely. This man looks very handsome and seemed to be a rich man.”

“Well, handsomeness can’t win bread. Besides, Jiahang doesn’t seem to be less handsome.”

…

Ye Hao had come to the front of the white adobe house.
