Chapter 120: Going over to deliver a villa

Xu Tian lowered his voice: "Do you have any friends in the hospital?"

*Sigh, in order to deliver the villa in a way that isn't too abrupt, I have to use a bit of a bitter-meat trick... *

Two days later.

Xu Tian found the current address of Yan Qingxue's father, Yan Jinsong, and mother, Su Xiuya, according to the address in the data.

After Yan Jinsong's company went bankrupt, Su Xiuya took him to rely on her younger brother, Su Mingli. Now both of them live in Su Mingli's villa.

As soon as Xu Tian came over, he saw a figure busy in the flower garden of the villa courtyard.

He saw Su Xiuya wearing coarse cloth clothes, a sun hat on her head, and a pair of large scissors in her hand, working hard to prune the branches and leaves slanting out from the flower bushes.

Xu Tian saw this, and his brows slowly furrowed.

To prune flower bushes under the sun, a normal person shouldn't take the initiative to do such a thing.

Suddenly, a sharp and caustic woman's voice rang out from the courtyard:

"Big sister, what's going on with you? You've ruined my favorite peony!"

A middle-aged woman with long hair, dressed in jewelry, walked out of the villa.

Xu Tian immediately recognized that this woman was Su Xiuya's sister-in-law, Zhang Yuzhen, through the photos given by the private detective.

As soon as the woman arrived at the flower garden, she said with dissatisfaction: "You've been doing this for so long, why haven't you made any progress?"

"But I asked you before, and you said to cut them all off..." Su Xiuya explained awkwardly.

"That might have been when I was discussing important matters with Weixin, a slip of the tongue!"

Zhang Yuzhen looked at the peony that had been pruned of its branches and leaves, leaving only a lonely flower, with heartache: "But even so, you were considered a wealthy young lady before, you should have your own judgment!"

"It's all my fault. Then I'll go to the flower market and buy one for you."

Su Xiuya wanted to settle the matter: "Tell me the variety of the flower."

"Hmph, what do you have to buy it with?"

Zhang Yuzhen said sarcastically: "This is a precious variety a friend gave me; it's not for sale at the flower market at all! Even if there were, it would cost tens of thousands per plant. Can you afford it?"

"Ah? Is it that expensive?"

Su Xiuya didn't understand flowers and didn't expect that even an ordinary rose would cost tens of thousands: "I really don't have that much money in my hands and your brother-in-law's hands right now. How about I wait until the weekend when Qingxue comes back and ask her if she has received her salary..."

Zhang Yuzhen waved her hand impatiently: "Forget it, with the meager salary she earns from doing odd jobs, you guys should keep it for yourselves."

Just then, a car drove into the villa's courtyard. The window rolled down, and a head poked out from inside.

"It's so sunny, why are you all in the courtyard?"

This person was Su Xiuya's younger brother, Su Mingli.

"Husband, why are you back so early today?"

Zhang Yuzhen saw Su Mingli return and hurriedly ran over to open the car door for him: "The weather is good today, I wanted to tidy up the flower garden, and sister couldn't sit still and insisted on coming over to help me. No matter how I persuaded her, it was useless."

Zhang Yuzhen complained feignedly, making a full gesture in front of Su Mingli.

And Su Xiuya was also used to her sister-in-law's changing face. She didn't want to care about these small things and annoy her brother, so she also smoothed things over for Zhang Yuzhen.

"I'm bored staying at home, so I might as well help Yuzhen do some work."

She saw Su Mingli get out of the car, but didn't see Yan Jinsong, and felt a bit strange.

"Mingli, why didn't your brother-in-law come home with you?"

"Brother-in-law is at the company, suddenly there's something he needs to deal with."

Su Mingli explained with a guilty conscience: "Sister, you also know that brother-in-law is capable, some things won't work if he doesn't show up."

"But he has been working overtime for half a month in a row. If this continues, his body won't be able to take it."

Su Xiuya felt particularly heartbroken when she thought of Yan Jinsong's poor complexion recently, not sleeping for five hours a day: "How can you let him work overtime all the time?"

Su Mingli's eyes shifted upon hearing this, not daring to look directly at Su Xiuya.

He had no talent in managing the company, and Zhang Yuzhen kept blowing pillow talk, saying that Su Xiuya's family couldn't be allowed to eat and live for free. So, after Yan Jinsong's company went bankrupt and he came to work at his company, Su Mingli pushed all the work to him.

Zhang Yuzhen's face changed immediately when she heard Su Xiuya complaining.

"Sister, you're not right about this. Among today's workers, how many aren't tired?"

"Brother-in-law was relaxed when he was his own boss before, wanting to order anyone around, but now his company has gone bankrupt!"

"Based on his reputation in the circle, which company would still hire him?"

"My Mingli gave him a job opportunity, so what's wrong with letting him work overtime for two days?"

"Besides, is brother-in-law working overtime for us? That's for himself! He's working hard now to accumulate experience for himself. Experience is wealth. If it weren't for Mingli, even if he wanted to work overtime, there would be no place for him to go!"

Zhang Yuzhen acted as if she were possessed, feeling more aggrieved the more she spoke, and even feignedly wiped the corner of her eye: "Mingli, although she is your sister, there are some things I shouldn't say, but sister is really too much."

"Ever since brother-in-law's company went bankrupt, sister brought the whole family to move in and has lived at home for so long. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation all cost money. I haven't calculated these with her, thinking that talking about money hurts feelings, but sister, she's playing small calculations all day long, afraid of suffering a loss..."

Su Xiuya's face turned pale when she heard Zhang Yuzhen's words, and she was trembling all over, unable to say a word, not knowing whether it was from anger or too much sadness.

She knew the taste of living under someone else's roof wasn't good, but she didn't expect Zhang Yuzhen to be so black and white.

"Sister, the company really can't do without brother-in-law, and brother-in-law is also working overtime voluntarily. The economy has been bad recently, and I'm also very tired supporting so many people alone. Can you be considerate of me?"

"Alright, let's not talk about it, I'll go to the supermarket to buy groceries first."

Su Xiuya silently swallowed her tears, took off her sun hat, went back to the villa to get an eco-bag, straightened her back, and walked out the door.

Xu Tian, who was standing behind the tree, saw this, and his face turned extremely ugly.

This Su Mingli and his wife were two white-eyed wolves!

The villa in front of him was given to Su Mingli's family by Yan Jinsong before he went bankrupt.

And the development of Su Mingli's company today was also thanks to Yan Jinsong's resources.

As a result, now that the Yan family had gone bankrupt, Su Mingli's family not only didn't know how to repay kindness, but instead rode on top of Yan Jinsong's family to act as a blessing.

Xu Tian saw Su Xiuya's state of living under someone else's roof, which made Xu Tian even more determined to return Jiangshui Dynasty No. 88 to the Yan family.

One hour later.

Su Xiuya came out of the supermarket, carrying two full shopping bags and walking back.

Su Mingli's house clearly had a driver on call all day, but Zhang Yuzhen felt it was a waste of fuel and never let Su Xiuya use it.

And the villa area where they live now didn't have buses or subways, so every time Su Xiuya went to the supermarket to buy groceries, she needed to walk.

Just when she was two intersections away from the villa area, she suddenly noticed a handsome young man with a slim figure on the opposite side of the road.

Su Xiuya's eyes fell on the young man's face unintentionally, and her face changed abruptly. ===== CHAPTER 121 =====
