Chapter 131

Tang Laoyezi suddenly raised his eyes, looking at the young man before him with a meaningful gaze.

"I have my own arrangements. However, you must remember that this is our Tang family's private business. Regarding the things you investigated, you are not allowed to let others see them."

"Not many people know about Bingyan and Xu Tian's affairs to begin with. If this matter becomes the talk of the town, I will hold you solely responsible!"

Upon hearing this, the young man's heart tightened, and he quickly said: "Grandpa Tang, don't worry, I will absolutely not spread this around. After all, if it really gets out, it will also affect Miss Tang's reputation."

He originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and have Tang Laoyezi deal with Xu Tian, but fearing that being too proactive would be counterproductive, he immediately said goodbye respectfully to Tang Laoyezi and turned to leave.

After the young man left, Tang Laoyezi threw the materials in his hand onto the coffee table and instructed the butler nearby:

"Lao Li, go and check if the information here is true."

Naturally, he would not completely believe the content of the materials, but he could not sit idly by.

At the very beginning, Xu Tian did not want to marry Tang Bingyan; Tang Laoyezi knew this.

But his granddaughter had never been so persistent about any man. Knowing he couldn't stop her, he simply didn't block it.

He originally thought Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan just had a tense relationship, and since he saw their interaction had thawed when Tang Bingyan brought him back, he didn't hold it against him.

But if Xu Tian was feigning favor to Tang Bingyan while messing around with other women outside, that touched his bottom line.

And regarding Xu Tian using Tang Bingyan's resources to subsidize his own family, that wasn't a big deal either.

Their Tang family was large and wealthy; supporting the family of a son-in-law was not a big deal.

What Tang Laoyezi really cared about was Xu Tian being entangled with other women while spending Tang Bingyan's money.

He would not allow such a shameless man to stay by his granddaughter's side!

"Alright, I'll go right away."

Li Butler nodded and immediately walked out with the materials.

Tang Laoyezi looked at the old butler's back and sighed, feeling as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He was not young, and the person he couldn't let go of most was Tang Bingyan.

Only he knew how difficult it was for Tang Bingyan to support the entire Tang family and what price she had paid.

Although he didn't approve of Tang Bingyan being with Xu Tian at all, he didn't oppose it because his granddaughter insisted.

However, if he found out Xu Tian was truly that kind of scumbag with a chaotic private life and who forgot righteousness for profit, he would rather have his granddaughter hate him than continue letting Xu Tian stay by her side.

Li Butler's actions were fast, and he brought back the investigated information the next noon.

"Sir, I have already had people investigate."

"Regarding the woman entangled with Xu Tian, she is actually his childhood sweetheart. They have had some contact since he got married."

"However, according to my investigation, the photos taken of them opening a room together were because Xu Tian was set up by that woman. Someone wanted to deliberately use those photos to provoke the eldest young lady."

"In fact, they did nothing, and since that incident, Xu Tian has also recognized that woman's true face, cut ties with her, and no longer has contact."

Upon hearing this, Tang Laoyezi's serious expression softened a bit, and he asked: "What about the bone marrow donation?"

The old butler continued to report:

"That woman colluded with Xu Tian's brother, Xu Rixin, to trick Xu Tian into the hospital, wanting to create a medical accident to kill Xu Tian. During that time, Xu Tian's relationship with the eldest young lady was very stiff, and they were even talking about divorce. If Xu Tian died, the property he received from the eldest young lady would all belong to the Xu family."

"As for Xu Tian using the eldest young lady's money to subsidize the Xu family, at the beginning, he did use the eldest young lady to get several large projects for the Xu family. However, after recognizing the Xu family's true face, he turned against his foster parents and even took back all the funds he had given to his foster father."

"Xu Tian's foster parents only know how to suck blood, and Xu Tian's eldest brother even wanted to kill him. I believe that unless Xu Tian has a problem with his brain, he definitely won't have any more involvement with them."

"In fact, although Xu Tian now has 20% of the Xu family's shares, he has already left the company to work at an agency under the Yan Group, and he has deliberately hidden his identity from the eldest young lady."

"Sir."

"I feel that most of the content in those materials is hearsay and not highly credible."

"Moreover, recently Xu Tian goes to pick up the eldest young lady from work every day, and even orders nutritious meals for her on time, reminding her to eat on time."

However, after Tang Laoyezi finished listening to Li Butler's words and looked at the materials he brought back, the doubt between his brows still did not dissipate.

"Lao Li, don't you think this Xu Tian has changed too fast?"

"Two months ago, he was still like an enemy to Bingyan. But after I came to Jiangshui, when Bingyan brought him to see me, I clearly felt that Xu Tian was very considerate and attentive to Bingyan."

"Sir, the eldest young lady is so outstanding, who wouldn't like her?"

Li Butler weighed his words: "Men, they all have self-esteem. Xu Tian's status is so different from the eldest young lady's, and plus, it was the eldest young lady who insisted on marrying him at the beginning. Xu Tian was not willing, so it's reasonable for him to have some rebellious thoughts."

"But the eldest young lady is a very perfect person in every aspect, and she is so good to Xu Tian. Anyone would be moved. Plus the betrayal of his childhood sweetheart also made him recognize who is truly good to him, so it's human nature for him to be moved by the eldest young lady."

Upon hearing this, Tang Laoyezi's expression finally softened a bit, and he rubbed his brows tiredly.

"I don't care if Xu Tian truly likes Tang Bingyan or not, as long as he doesn't betray Bingyan, that's enough. In a family like ours, how can there be any true feelings?"

Li Butler deeply agreed with Tang Laoyezi's words.

Marriages between major families can only be for the sake of interests.

Even if they find a man of equal social status for the eldest young lady, once the Tang family falls in the future, the other party will immediately draw a line with the eldest young lady and even kick them while they are down.

The current Tang family relies entirely on the eldest young lady alone. Some people in the family bully the eldest young lady for being an orphan and are eyeing the position of family head.

Therefore, Tang Laoyezi felt that finding an ordinary person without interest entanglements might be better.

"Actually, I preferred that child from Beicheng, but his scheming is too deep, and plus Bingyan doesn't like him, so that's that..."

Tang Laoyezi picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a slight sip.

"I feel that after Xu Tian had a change of heart, his interaction with the eldest young lady is quite comfortable. A Wei has told me more than once that Xu Tian will pick up the eldest young lady from work and buy her snacks. Others treat the eldest young lady as a god, and only he treats the eldest young lady like an ordinary woman."

"I hope he can keep it up."

After Li Butler's consolation, the heavy stone on Tang Laoyezi's heart was finally moved away: "Forget it, we are all old. Let them make their own decisions about the young people's affairs."

In the evening, Xu Tian received a call from Su Xiuya.

"Hello? Aunt Ya!" Xu Tian guessed that Su Xiuya had decided to rent his house.

As expected by Xu Tian, as soon as the call connected, Su Xiuya said impatiently.

"I went back to help you ask around, and my friend doesn't have plans to rent a house. However, I discussed it with your godfather again. We still have some savings, and we just happen to want to change our living environment. Can you rent your house to us? I can transfer the rent for half a year to you right now."

"Godmother, do you want to rent a house?"

Xu Tian feigned surprise, then said: "If you and godfather want to come and live here, how could I collect rent? Anyway, the house is empty, you can move in anytime."

"That won't do. Even brothers settle accounts clearly, let alone I am your godmother. If you don't collect rent, we won't be embarrassed to move in."

Su Xiuya didn't give Xu Tian a chance to refuse: "Give me a bank card number now, and I'll transfer the money to you right away. However, moving might take some time; your godfather has to work overtime recently."

"Then I'll listen to godmother, but do you want to come and see the house first?"

"No need to look, you wouldn't lie to us."

"Then it's settled. Godmother, you can't go back on your word."

A smile of success flashed in Xu Tian's eyes, and then he sent his bank card number to Su Xiuya via WeChat.

"You child, your godfather and I are old, how could we not keep our word."

Su Xiuya said with a slight scolding: "Don't worry, we plan to rent it long-term."
