“Where is she?!” The landlord walked in angrily. At this time, there was no one in the shop. There were only two employees who came especially early.
“Mrs. Liu, what’s the matter?” Seeing that it was the landlord, the employee who had stood up to check on the situation sat back down.
“Where’s Qin Shuang? Call her over.” The landlord did not want to waste his breath on the employees.
“The manager will be here soon. Please wait for a while,” the employee said slowly.
The interior decoration of Xiu Yi had already been dismantled, and there was not even a chair in the room. The more the landlord looked at the place, the angrier he became. However, the two employees had no intention of responding to her.
About half an hour later, Qin Shuang finally entered the shop. “Oh my, who is this? So it’s Mrs. Liu. Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling. Why are you standing here?”
“Qin Shuang, don’t give me that. Let me ask you, what do you mean by tearing down this house?” The landlord pointed at the debris in the house and was furious.
A few days ago, when she came over, the place was still decorated in gold and jade. From the outside, it was filled with flowers and plants.
However, when she drove past here yesterday, she almost didn’t recognize that this was Xiu Yi.
‘The antique eaves outside the house were all removed and painted into a white wall.
Originally, there were two small ponds at the entrance of the shop. Lotus flowers were planted there, and there were several koi fish inside. From the entrance to the house, there were flowers everywhere. Furthermore, Xiu Yi was especially generous, as the tables and chairs inside were made of solid
wood.
But now?
The pond was filled. The flowers were gone. The clothes had been emptied. There was nothing else in the room but the white walls.
“Mrs. Liu, we completely followed the contract. Retum it as it was.” As Qin Shuang spoke, she threw a stack of photos in front of the landlord.
“Please do a comparison check. How it looked like when we took over this shop, how it looks like when we’re returning to you now, what is the difference? Please point it out and we will change it immediately.”
‘The landlord gripped the picture in front of her tightly. Xiu Yi had taken the original appearance of the room when they rented it.
It was indeed the same as before.
The landlord held her anger in check, but there was nothing she could say to refute it. “Serves you right that you’ll have to rent the trash house across the street. Bah,” the landlord spat. She tossed the picture to the floor and left.
“Mrs. Liu.” Qin Shuang stopped her.
The landlord paused. “What else do you want?”
“Ljust saw the photo and remembered. Back then, this house of yours had two different lines for the electricity and water, as compared to the commercial district next to it, so everyone found it troublesome and they didn’t rent it. After we rented it, we changed the route.”
Upon hearing Qin Shuang say this, the landlord frowned. “What do you want?”
“Nothing? We’re just returning it to its original appearance. Don’t worry. Before we leave, we’ll definitely get the route back for you. Take care.” Qin Shuang smiled and waved at the landlord.
The landlord felt her heart skip a beat. Just as she was about to argue with Qin Shuang, the security guards surrounded her and the landlord could only leave angrily.
“Manager, you’ve vented your anger!” Seeing the landlord leave angrily, the employees finally felt relieved.
‘The building that Xiu Yi was in now was a hot commodity in everyone’s eyes, but this was not the case when Xiu Yi had just been rented.
Because this building was not connected to the water and electricity circuits in the commercial district, the water and electricity charges in this building were extremely expensive and could be doubled every year.
After Xiu Yi rented it, she used Jun Shiling’s connections to forcefully connect the lines, which made the building even more valuable.
However, not long after they opened the shop, the landlord went back on her word. The employees were all feeling indignant in their hearts. Now that they saw the landlord suffer, everyone was extremely happy.
“Manager, where are we moving to?” Xiu Yi had a good working environment and the employees were treated very well. Everyone was reluctant to leave.
“Don’t worry. The new shop is already being renovated. We’ll treat it as a holiday for everyone these few days. When the new shop is done renovating, we’ll move in.”
“Alright!” Knowing that they would not be fired, everyone was relieved.
“Miss, Young Master has been very well-behaved these few days. He did not do anything out of the ordinary.” The bodyguard placed a pile of documents in front of Shi Tian. All the details recorded what Liu Xingchuan did every day and who he met.
“Got it. Continue to follow him.” Shi Tian’s hand, which was covered in bright red nail polish, casually flipped through the documents.
“Yes.” The bodyguard left.
After looking through Liu Xingchuan’s schedule, Shi Tian found another one. This one belonged to Tang Yin.
Seeing Tang Yin busy herself with Xia Wanyuan almost every day, Shi Tian’s red lips curled up.
“You want to return to being a top manager? Dream on.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.” Shi Tian put away the documents on the table.
“Aunt!” A round face poked in.
“Guo Guo.” Shi Tian smiled when she saw Chen Xiaoguo, or rather, her niece, Shi Xiaoguo.
“Aunt, I miss you. Daddy asked you if you want to have dinner at our house today.” Chen Xiaoguo pushed the door open and entered with an affectionate expression on her face.
“Sure.” Shi Tian stood up and pulled Chen Xiao Guo’s arm. “How was filming? Did Director Wang Wei take care of you?”
“Not bad. Everyone’s doing well. It’s just that Xia Wanyuan. She doesn’t listen to me at all. No matter what I say, she’ll treat me like I don’t exist.” Speaking of Xia Wanyuan, Chen Xiaoguo recalled how Xia Wanyuan had embarrassed her in public.
“Don’t worry.” Shi Tian patted Chen Xiaoguo’s hand. “Aunt will help you.”
“Okay!” Chen Xiaoguo held onto Shi Tian’s arm tightly, her eyes shining with success.
Shi Tian glanced at her niece. When she thought of how Xia Wanyuan and Tang Yin had humiliated her, the hatred in her eyes almost solidified.
Tang Yin, Xia Wanyuan, both of you have to pay the price for what happened back then.
‘The two of them walked to the door and were about to leave when they bumped into Liu Xingchuan who was walking in.
“Uncle,” Chen Xiaoguo called out.
“Mm,” Liu Xingchuan answered and walked into the house with a bouquet of flowers.
“Stop.” Shi Tian called out to Liu Xingchuan. “Throw these flowers away before entering the house.”
Don’t think I don’t know that Tang Yin, that b * tch, loved gardenias the most. Why did he pick it to up to long for her?
Liu Xingchuan ignored her and walked straight into the house. Shi Tian snatched the flowers from Liu Xingchuan’s hands and threw them on the floor.
“How can you bring whatever you want into the house.” Shi Tian stomped on the gardenia a few times and pulled Chen Xiaoguo away. “Let’s go.”
Behind her, Liu Xingchuan held the flower bud tightly in his hand. The green leaf juice had stained his hand, but he did not notice it at all.
Early in the morning on the island, Xia Wanyuan was awakened by the gentle breeze by the sea.
‘The weather was as good as ever. On the transparent roof, one could see large clouds and blue sky the moment they opened their eyes. They turned their heads slightly, and the sea of roses nearby surged towards them.
Xia Wanyuan got up and went downstairs. There were no other servants in the house. Jun Shiling brought out a bowl of longevity noodles from the kitchen.
“You’re awake? Come, eat this noodle in one bite.”
“Where’s Xiao Bao?” Xia Wanyuan looked around.
“He played so crazily last night and didn’t get up. Let him continue sleeping. Let’s eat first.”
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan took the chopsticks and picked up one end of the noodles. Halfway through, she stopped eating.
“What’s wrong? Is it not delicious?”
“You can have the other half.” Xia Wanyuan passed the chopsticks to Jun Shiling.
Regardless of whether I live long or not, Lam willing to share my life with you..
