Chapter 172
Tu Jiaojiao got angry when he mentioned the shop: "He gave me a shop and told me to try it out first. But when I went to see it, I found out that the shop had been rented out at a low price due to poor management.
Although the shop is still ours, the owner has long since changed. The key point is that the shop just recently renewed its ten-year lease. Not only is the rent low, but if we break the contract, we will have to pay ten times the compensation!
What can I do? Unless we can find something to hold against them, if we break the contract, not only will we have to pay you money, but your reputation will also be affected, and they will say you don't value integrity!"
Xie Xiu sneered: "I knew that woman wouldn't be honest."
"Of course she's not being honest! Do you know when they renewed their contract? It should have been shortly after your news reached the capital!"
Tu Jiaojiao grew angrier as she spoke, "That woman must have guessed you would return to the capital, so she set up a trap in advance. The current owner of that shop must be closely related to that woman!"
If she wasn't one of us, would she have rented out the shop at such a low price, signed a ten-year lease, and even agreed to pay ten times the compensation?"
At the end, Tu Jiaojiao laughed disdainfully, then said depressedly, "It's a pity that I haven't found out their relationship yet, so I can't do anything to them for now."
Xie Xiu was not worried at all: "It's okay, just leave this matter to my father-in-law and mother-in-law. They will definitely find out, so we just have to wait.
Anyway, now is not the time to completely break off relations with them and take back the things. Even if we wait for a while, there is no harm. "
Tu Jiaojiao responded softly.
She believed in Xie Xiu. Since it was not the right time yet, she would just wait patiently.
The two talked for a while, and then Xie Xiu began to check Xie Tang's homework.
After arriving in the capital, Xie Xiu found a reliable private school for Xie Tang and sent him there to study.
Every morning, Xie Tang would take a bus to the private school, and then take a bus home after school in the afternoon.
At first, Tu Jiaojiao was a little worried, fearing that his classmates would bully him, so every day when Xie Tang came home from school, she would carefully ask him and check if he had any injuries.
I was relieved to find that he got along very well with his classmates.
Xie Xiu checked Xie Tang's homework, and then went to Songheyuan to meet the old master and the old lady in person. Then he picked up Xie Rou and took Tu Jiaojiao and the children out of the house to meet Tu Yong and Liu Zhichun.
The two of them now live in the yard given by Luo Zheng, but they tell others that they are renting it to avoid arousing suspicion from Chen Fang and Xie Yun.
Xie Xiu and others had lunch at Tu's house and stayed there until evening before reluctantly returning to Xie's house.
As soon as he entered the door, the servant said that Xie Yun wanted to see Xie Xiu.
Tu Jiaojiao immediately became worried, but Xie Xiu patted her arm soothingly: "Don't worry, you take the children back first, I'll be back soon."
Sure enough, not long after she brought the children back to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, Xie Xiu came back.
Tu Jiaojiao asked him softly, "Are you okay? Have you been punished?"
Xie Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay. Xie Xin complained to the old man, but I've already dealt with it."
After a pause, he continued, "Aren't you worried about Rou'er living alone in Songheyuan? Believe me, we can bring Rou'er back the next time we have a day off."
Tu Jiaojiao's eyes lit up: "Really?"
Xie Xiu smiled and scratched her upturned nose: "When have I ever lied to you?"
Tu Jiaojiao immediately pouted in dissatisfaction: "You said your parents were both dead..."
Xie Xiu blushed and quickly covered her mouth.
In the cradle, Xie Ying rolled her eyes. "Next time I have a day off, can I bring my sister back?" So, Daddy's going to take action? And the mistress is about to make an appearance? Wow, this is getting more and more exciting.
Upon learning that Xie Xiu had not been punished, Xie Xin and Xie Yi were so angry that they could not sleep well all night and had several nightmares.
The next morning, the two brothers had huge panda eyes and looked haggard from overindulgence.
Looking at Xie Xiu again, he was full of energy and had a great temperament, as if he had taken some magic medicine. He exuded elegance and composure from head to toe.
