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 has been heavily in debt. In order to save money on rent, they had to live with their younger brother and his family.
Even if the rent for Xu Tian's apartment is only 1,500 yuan a month, it is still a big expense for them.
"You said Xiao Xu wants to rent a house?"
After Yan Jinsong got off work in the evening, Su Xiuya told him about the conversation she had with Xu Tian during the day.
"Yes, he said he lives in a dormitory and has a vacant house for rent."
Su Xiuya was very angry: "The person named Xu is really bullying people. We gave him so much money as a reward for adopting Xiaotian and Xiaotian's living expenses. He must not have given it to Xiaotian, otherwise what could Xiaotian do?"
Are you worried about having a credit card worth thousands of dollars that you haven’t paid back yet?”
"The Xu family must have treated him badly, otherwise he wouldn't have lived outside alone."
When it comes to Xu Tian's experience, Yan Jinsong's expression is not very good either.
"If I hadn't been worried about Xiaotian's life experience being exposed, I would have gone to Xu Pingfeng to settle the score! Madam's only child has lived such a hard life. How can we explain to Madam after we die..."
"We still have some savings. After excluding this month's repayment, we have more than 10,000 left. If Xiao Xu is really in financial difficulty recently, I will withdraw this money."
With that said, Yan Jinsong took out a bank card from his coat pocket.
"If we just give you money like this, Xiaotian will definitely be embarrassed to ask for it."
Su Xiuya thought for a while and then said, "How about we rent Xiaotian'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. After all, he has already married. It's not convenient for us to always live with him."
"I heard from Xiaotian that his house is in the city center, and it will be much more convenient for you to go to work."
"By the way, today Xiaotian also said that he would recognize me as his godmother. From now on, we will rent his house and I can still cook for him."
Yan Jinsong looked surprised when he heard this and said, "Has he recognized you as his godmother?"
Before Su Xiuya could speak, he nodded directly: "In that case, let's rent it. Xu Tian is indeed a good boy who knows how to repay kindness."
After saying that, Yan Jinsong handed the bank card to Su Xiuya: "As for your brother, you should also find an opportunity to talk to him."
"Um."
"Also, next week is my dad's birthday party. The old house wants us all to go back."
Yan Jinsong knew that Su Xiuya didn't like people from the Yan family, so he comforted her: "If you don't want to go, I'll just say you have to work overtime and just send the gift over."
Anyway, the Yan family didn't care whether they attended or not. After experiencing so many things, Yan Jinsong had already looked away.
"That's not okay. No matter what, we can't miss our dad's birthday party, otherwise others will gossip about us."
Su Xiuya didn't want Yan Jinsong to be embarrassed because of herself: "I will prepare a gift for our dad in advance."
…
After Xu Tian and Su Xiuya parted ways, they went to Yan's Group to pick up Tang Bingyan from get off work.
Tang Bingyan is a standard workaholic. She went on a business trip for a week. When she came back, the first thing she did not go home to rest was to go directly to the company to hold a meeting with senior executives.
Xu Tian remembered that in her previous life, Tang Bingyan worked day and night. Coupled with the sequelae of a car accident, she had a lot of problems at a young age.
So after rebirth, Xu Tian consciously wanted to reduce Tang Bingyan's overtime work time.
But after all, he can't be with Tang Bingyan all the time, so he hasn't achieved much yet.
"Honey, drink some soup first, then go back and take a nap after dinner. Have you not had a good rest during this time?"
In a private restaurant near Yan's Group, Xu Tian served Tang Bingyan a bowl of fish maw chicken soup with a distressed look on his face.
"The project over there is a little tricky."
Tang Bingyan silently finished the bowl of soup and ate the vegetables Xu Tian gave her.
She was very picky about food, and Xu Tian 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 will be overwhelmed."
Xu Tian didn't pay too much attention to business matters.
Although Tang Bingyan would never hide anything from him, even the highest-level confidential documents in the company were allowed to be read by him at will.
In his previous life, Xu Tian could not understand Tang Bingyan's behavior, but felt that it was a kind of restraint.
Now think about it, how blind he must have been before to let down this trust and affection.
"Xu Tian, don't you have anything to tell me?"
Xu Tian knew that Tang Bingyan was not in a high mood today, but he never found out the reason.
Now hearing her ask this question, Xu Tian's heart sank.
Could it be that Tang Bingyan found out about his hospitalization?
Whether they found out that he was pretending to be sick and was hospitalized or misunderstood that he was really sick, it was not good news for Xu Tian.
He had always known that Tang Bingyan could not trust him 100%, so it was normal for him to send someone to investigate him when he was on a business trip.
"Honey, listen to me."
Xu Tian thought about his words: "That day..."
"Who is the middle-aged woman you met?"
Tang Bingyan's tone returned to her usual indifference.
"Middle-aged woman?" Xu Tian was slightly startled.
The next moment, he reacted suddenly and quickly swallowed back what he wanted to say: "You mean in the teahouse..."
"Besides the teahouse, is there any other place?" Tang Bingyan's face turned even worse.
Xu Tian waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, no more."
While speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Tang Bingyan only knew that he and Su Xiuya met at the teahouse, and did not know that he had been hospitalized before.
"Her name is Su Xiuya. She helped me a little favor before, so I gave her some gifts to thank her."
"That's it?" Of course Tang Bingyan didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Tian and the middle-aged woman named Su Xiuya, but she still didn't want Xu Tian's social circle to get out of her control.
"Um."
Xu Tian thought about his words: "Honey, I am very attached to this aunt, so I will accept her as my godmother. You won't mind, right..."
Tang Bingyan's pretty face was obviously cold: "How long have you known her, and you trust her so much?"
She worked hard for so long, but still failed to gain Xu Tian's trust.
Now a stranger just did him a small favor, and he wants to recognize him as his godmother?
Although her reason told Tang Bingyan that she shouldn't be so pointless and jealous, she couldn't control it.
Xu Tian:……
How should he explain it to dispel Tang Bingyan's doubts.
You can't say that you are reborn. Su Xiuya's family saved your life before, right?
After thinking about it, Xu Tian said in a nonchalant manner: "Honey, I'm just a small clerk now. Even if others want to lie to me, they won't get much benefit."
"I was adopted by my adoptive parents when I was a child. Some time ago, I discovered that they were not sincere to me at all. Now I have no other relatives except you. So when I met Aunt Ya's family before, I felt that this was God making up for it.
The family ties I lost."
"You don't need any other relatives."
Although Tang Bingyan's tone was still cold, she was still comforted by Xu Tian's words "I only have you" just now.
"I really don't need it, but Aunt Ya helped me after all."
Tang Bingyan frowned slightly: "Why didn't you come to me if you needed help?"
Another soul torture.
"Weren't you on a business trip before? And I am your husband. I should take the responsibility of protecting this family. Why should I bother you with everything?" Xu Tian broke into a cold sweat while explaining.
It seems unlikely that Tang Bingyan will be able to get away with such a lame explanation.
But what surprised him was that Tang Bingyan didn't seem to continue pursuing the case this time.
"It won't happen again."
"Honey, 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."
