82 Tushan Miss's dowry has disappeared

Tushan Jiu chuckled, "Sorry, I couldn't help it, it's a bit funny."

"But Xie Shiyu guessed correctly, I calculated it, in the end not only did Qu Chaoyang not pursue it, but the two sisters will also reconcile, it's just a matter of time."

Xu Airu nodded, "I guess it's like that, sigh, no wonder you said that Ma Zhaozhao is pitiful, looking at it this way she really hasn't suffered little."

Tushan Jiu nodded, continuing to lower her head to eat the tripe that Xie Shiyu had given her.

Suddenly, she remembered something, and looked up to ask him, "Are you going to demote Chang Yaohui?"

Xie Shiyu: "You noticed?"

"Yeah, I saw his official fortune palace dimmed a bit, but not completely dark."

Xie Shiyu nodded, confirming her guess, "After something like this happened, he definitely can't stay at the headquarters, but I can't deny his work ability because of this, so I'm preparing to demote him to project department assistant, assigning him to the subsidiary company."

"To warn others?"

"Pretty much." Xie Shiyu again gave her a chopstick of shrimp paste.

When the hot pot was almost finished, Tushan Jiu remembered another thing.

She asked Xie Shiyu, "Do you know Guo Liheng?"

Before Xie Shiyu could speak, Xu Airu interjected, "Is that Guo Liheng from Liheng Real Estate?"

Tushan Jiu looked at Xu Airu, "Yes, that's him."

Xu Airu immediately raised her hand, "I know him, I know him, I and his wife are good friends."

After saying that, she also provocatively glanced at her own eldest son.

Tushan Jiu also gave face, "That's great, Auntie, can you help me contact his family? Just say I'm coming to collect a debt, let him prepare six sets of better-location real estate for me, I want it as dowry."

Xu Airu's hand and mouth corner froze simultaneously: "......"

This time it was Xie Shiyu's turn to raise his eyebrows at his mother, "Then it's troublesome for Mom, I'll take Jiujiu for a walk by the river to digest, Dad just messaged me saying he'll be here soon, you wait a bit, your husband will come pick you up later."

After saying that, Xie Shiyu took Tushan Jiu's hand and left.

Xu Airu watched the two leave the private room, she laughed and scolded, "Little brat!"

She took out her phone and reluctantly notified her friend Wang Mumumu, saying her daughter-in-law was going to collect a debt, asking them to prepare.

No reply came from the other side.

Xu Airu wondered which city her friend was in right now.

That friend of hers is a travel enthusiast.

Out of 365 days a year, at least more than half are spent outside.

But if she sees the message, she will definitely inform Guo Liheng, so she isn't worried.

She then sent a crying emoticon to Xie Wenshuo.

【Your eldest son has a wife and forgot his mother, I'm going to cause trouble, hurry up and buy me an ice cream!!!】

The other side replied instantly, 【You just finished hot pot, you can't eat something too cold, your stomach will feel uncomfortable.】

Xu Airu's mouth corner kept rising, 【Alright, then I want to eat cotton candy.】

【Wait for me.】

On the other side, Tushan Jiu, who had been pulled away by Xie Shiyu, couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay for us to leave Auntie behind like this?"

Xie Shiyu rubbed her thumb on the back of her hand, smiling and saying, "Don't worry, seeing us getting along, she will definitely be happy."

Tushan Jiu pursed her lips, feeling her face get a little hot.

The two drove to the riverside, walking hand in hand along the riverbank for a circle.

"Actually, I didn't expect us two to progress this fast, to be honest, before I came down the mountain I still resisted a bit, I was afraid you weren't my type!"

"But after getting along with you, I really feel fragrant, you're great, I really like you."

Faced with her sudden confession, Xie Shiyu turned his head to look at her in surprise.

After a moment, he let out a light laugh, then laughed several more times in a row.

His voice was very pleasant.

Tushan Jiu tilted her head to look at him.

Xie Shiyu stopped his steps, using his body to block the wind blowing from the river.

His big hand gently rested on her head, then helped tuck her wind-blown hair behind her ear, his voice alluring: "Jiujiu, do you know, I'm very happy."

"I'm very happy you can tell me so clearly that you like me."

"But as for confessing, I'll do it, because I was the first to develop feelings for you, I might not have told you before, I fell for you at first sight, and it's been long-planned, because since I held you as a child, I've wanted to hold you for a lifetime."

"As a child I might have just thought you were cute, liked you a bit, but after you came to Nan Cheng, when I saw you at the old house for the first time, I confirmed my liking again, only this time the liking is different from before."

"Speaking of which it's quite funny, I'm also experiencing my first love, sometimes I can't decide how to maintain our relationship, I even prepared to boil frogs in warm water."

"But after getting along for a few days, I discovered your nature is gentle and straightforward, so I no longer need to hide."

"You also told me before, if there's anything to say, just say it directly to you."

"So, Jiujiu, although today you brought up the topic, I still want to ask......"

"Jiujiu, abandon that engagement, I want to date you, will you be my girlfriend?"

Tushan Jiu had already been dazed by his sentence after sentence of confession.

She had only expressed her thoughts about getting along with him during this period.

How could he confess to me so formally!

Oh dear, my heart is beating a little too fast, what to do?

Tushan Jiu swallowed her saliva, then followed her heart, nodding her head like a little chick pecking rice several times.

"I'm willing, from now on you are my big elephant, oh, no, you are my partner!"

Tushan Jiu laughed, "Sorry, I got excited and misspoke."

Xie Shiyu was amused by her, pulling her into his arms and lowering his head to kiss her hair.

He asked, "The evening wind is cool; shall we head back?"

Tushan Jiu slipped out of his arms, turned quickly, and walked toward the car.

She didn't want Xie Shiyu to see her flushed face, feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

But she didn't forget to reply to him, "Let's go back, right now!"

Xie Shiyu's lips remained upturned as he said, "Walk slowly; the streetlights here aren't very bright."

Saying that, he also quickened his steps to follow.

By the time they returned to the old residence, it was half past ten, and the main building was still brightly lit.

The courtyard was full of servants running about, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

Xie Shiyu's car wasn't driven to the garage but parked directly in the courtyard.

Seeing his car stop, the nearby servants immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Young master, you've returned."

Xie Shiyu frowned and asked him, "Why are you so flustered? What happened?"

Tushan Jiu in the passenger seat also curiously looked over.

That servant, looking past Xie Shiyu toward Tushan Jiu, answered truthfully: "A thief has broken into the house; Miss Tushan's dowry has gone missing!"
