Chapter 125: Wife, let's go back to sleep
Although Su Xiuya wanted to help, she still had to discuss such a big matter as renting a house with Yan Jinsong.
Since the company went bankrupt, their family was heavily in debt. In order to save on rent, they had to live under someone else's roof with her younger brother's family.
Even if Xu Tian's house rent was only 1,500 a month, it was not a small expense for them.
"You said Xiao Xu wants to rent out a house?"
In the evening, after Yan Jinsong got off work, Su Xiuya told him about her conversation with Xu Tian during the day.
"Yes, he said he lives in the company dormitory and has an empty house to rent out."
Su Xiuya was very indignant: "The Xu family is really too bullying. We gave him so much money back then as a reward for adopting Little Tian and Little Tian's living expenses. He definitely didn't give it to Little Tian, otherwise, how could Little Tian still be worried about paying off a few thousand yuan of credit card debt?"
"The Xu family must not have treated him well, otherwise he wouldn't be living outside alone."
Mentioning Xu Tian's encounter, Yan Jinsong's expression was also not very good.
"If it weren't for worrying about Little Tian's background being exposed, I would definitely go to find Xu Pingfeng to settle the account! The only child of the lady is living so bitterly, how can we explain to the lady after we die..."
"We still have some savings in our hands. After deducting this month's repayment, there is still more than 10,000 left. If Xiao Xu is really in economic difficulty recently, I will take this money out."
Saying that, Yan Jinsong took out a bank card from his coat pocket.
"If we just give money like this, Little Tian will definitely be embarrassed to accept it."
Su Xiuya thought for a moment and said: "How about we rent Little Tian's house?"
"You mean, move out of your brother's house?"
Su Xiuya nodded: "I know you don't want to rely on my brother's family all the time. Anyway, he has already started a family, and it's not very convenient for us to live on his side all the time."
"I heard from Little Tian that his house is in the city center, and it will be much more convenient for you to go to work."
"By the way, Little Tian said today that he wanted to recognize me as his godmother. In the future, if we rent his house, I can still cook for him."
Yan Jinsong looked surprised: "He recognized you as his godmother?"
Before Su Xiuya could speak, he nodded directly: "Since that's the case, let's rent it. Xu Tian is indeed a good child who knows how to repay kindness."
After speaking, Yan Jinsong handed the bank card to Su Xiuya: "As for your brother's side, you should also find an opportunity to tell him."
"Mm."
"Also, next week is my father's birthday banquet, the old house side asked us all to go back."
Yan Jinsong knew that Su Xiuya didn't like the people on the Yan family side, and comforted her: "If you don't want to go, I'll just say I have to work overtime and send the gift over."
Anyway, the people of the Yan family didn't care whether they attended or not. After experiencing so many things, Yan Jinsong had long since let go.
"That won't do. No matter what, we can't be absent from Dad's birthday banquet, otherwise, it will make people gossip."
Su Xiuya didn't want to make things difficult for Yan Jinsong because of herself: "I will prepare the birthday gift for Dad in advance."
After Xu Tian parted ways with Su Xiuya, he went to the Yan Group to pick up Tang Bingyan from work.
Tang Bingyan was a standard workaholic. After returning from a business trip for a week, the first thing she did wasn't to go home to rest, but to go directly to the company to hold a meeting for the top executives.
Xu Tian remembered that in his past life, Tang Bingyan worked day and night, coupled with the sequelae of the car accident, which caused her to have all kinds of ailments at a young age.
So after his rebirth, Xu Tian consciously wanted to reduce the time Tang Bingyan worked overtime.
But he couldn't be by Tang Bingyan's side at all times, so there was no effect yet.
"Wife, drink some soup first. After eating, go back and sleep. Have you not rested well during this time?"
In a private restaurant near the Yan Group, Xu Tian served Tang Bingyan a bowl of fish maw and chicken soup, his face looking a bit distressed.
"The project over there is a bit tricky."
Tang Bingyan drank the bowl of soup silently and ate the dishes Xu Tian picked for her.
She was very picky about food, and Xu Tian had also studied the menu for a long time before ordering four dishes and one soup.
"No matter how busy you are, you must eat and rest on time, otherwise your body won't be able to take it."
Xu Tian didn't ask too much about business matters.
Although Tang Bingyan would never hide anything from him, and even the highest-level confidential documents in the company were left for him to read at will.
In his previous life, Xu Tian couldn't understand Tang Bingyan's behavior and instead felt it was a kind of restraint.
Thinking about it now, just how blind was he before to have failed such trust and deep affection?
"Xu Tian, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Tang Bingyan's interest wasn't high today, which Xu Tian knew, but he hadn't found the reason.
Now hearing her ask this, Xu Tian's heart sank.
Could it be that Tang Bingyan discovered he was hospitalized?
Whether she knew he was pretending to be sick and hospitalized, or misunderstood that he was really sick, it wasn't good news for Xu Tian.
He had always known that Tang Bingyan couldn't trust him 100%, so it was normal for her to send someone to investigate him while she was on a business trip.
"Wife, listen to me."
Xu Tian considered his wording: "I that day..."
"Who is the middle-aged woman you met?"
Tang Bingyan's tone returned to her usual coldness.
"Mid, middle-aged woman?" Xu Tian was slightly stunned.
The next moment, he suddenly reacted and hurriedly swallowed the words he wanted to say: "You mean at the teahouse..."
"Besides the teahouse, is there anywhere else?" Tang Bingyan's face looked even worse.
Xu Tian hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, there isn't."
While speaking, he let out a heavy sigh of relief. It seemed Tang Bingyan only knew he met Su Xiuya at the teahouse and didn't know he was hospitalized before.
"Her name is Su Xiuya. She helped me with a small favor before, so I sent some gifts to thank her."
"Just like that?" Tang Bingyan naturally didn't feel that Xu Tian had anything to do with the middle-aged woman named Su Xiuya, but she still didn't want Xu Tian's social circle to be out of her control.
"Mm."
Xu Tian considered his wording: "Wife, I'm very compatible with this auntie, so I recognized her as my godmother. You won't mind, right..."
Tang Bingyan's pretty face was obviously a few degrees colder: "How long have you known her to trust her so much?"
She had tried so hard for so long but still couldn't get Xu Tian's trust.
Now a stranger just helped him with a small favor, and he wanted to recognize the other party as his godmother?
Although reason told Tang Bingyan that she shouldn't eat this kind of meaningless vinegar, she couldn't control it.
Xu Tian:...
How should he explain to dispel Tang Bingyan's doubts?
He couldn't say he was reborn and Su Xiuya's family saved his life before, right?
Thinking about it, Xu Tian avoided the important and focused on the trivial: "Wife, I'm just a small employee now. Even if someone wants to cheat me, they won't get any benefits."
"I was adopted by my adoptive parents since I was a child. I only discovered a while ago that they weren't sincere to me at all. Now, besides you, I have no other relatives, so when I met Auntie Ya's family before, I felt this was heaven making up for the family affection I lost."
"You don't need other relatives."
Although Tang Bingyan's tone was still cold, she was still appeased by Xu Tian's "I only have you" just now.
"I really don't need them, but Auntie Ya helped me after all."
Tang Bingyan's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Why didn't you come to me when you needed help?"
Another soul-searching question.
"Weren't you on a business trip before? And I'm your husband, I should take on the responsibility of protecting this home. How can I trouble you with everything?" Xu Tian explained while sweating coldly.
Such a lame explanation didn't seem to be able to fool Tang Bingyan.
But what surprised him was that this time Tang Bingyan didn't seem to continue to pursue it.
"Not again."
"Wife, are you not angry anymore?" Xu Tian held Tang Bingyan's hand flatteringly and walked out of the restaurant side by side with her: "Then let's go back to sleep." ===== CHAPTER 126 =====
