Chapter 207 A Passerby in a 1990s Housewife's Rebirth Novel (16)
The main problem was that none of the people present knew him well, and they didn't know what to talk about. Sun Shao was also a bit embarrassed by what happened in the taxi earlier and hadn't said much. After Jiang Yue and Zhou Zihan finished catching up, they saw Sun Shao in the yard playing with the cats, dogs, and feeding the fish. Jiang Yue felt for some reason that this person and Chu Ting were quite a good match. Jiang Yue asked Zhou Zihan, "What's going on with him?"
After saying that, Zhou Zihan pointed at Sun Shao with her chin, patted the child until the child fell asleep, and said, "I don't know either. I ran into him when I came here to make a phone call, and then he said he wanted to come over together."
"But judging from his appearance, he must have encountered some difficulties. Didn't you see that he couldn't even afford the taxi fare?"
"The main reason is that I went to Guangzhou to buy goods before the Lunar New Year, and I didn't hear about any trouble at his home. We ordinary people don't know anything about the affairs of wealthy families."
After chatting and catching up for a while, Jiang Yue led the group around the yard before going to cook. Zhou Zihan wanted to help, but seeing that Jiang Yue had already prepared the dishes and only cooking was left, she went out to watch the children. During the meal, Zhou Zihan and her husband ate a little faster than usual, but Sun Shao was different; he wolfed down his food.
After finishing their meal, Zhou Zihan and Jiang Yue cleaned up together. Then Jiang Yue led them to the study, brewed a pot of tea, and poured a cup for each of them. Only then did Jiang Yue ask Sun Shao what had happened. Sun Shao took a sip of tea, and after eating and drinking his fill, his young master demeanor returned: "Nothing serious, I just beat someone up, and then my old man cut off my source of income."
"Who did they beat up? Was it Young Master Li from the Li Group?" Zhou Zihan was quite curious, recalling the Li Group they had mentioned when they were selling the land.
"Did someone die? Otherwise, would people like you run this far after assaulting someone?"
Sun Shao rolled his eyes: "What do you think I am? A barbarian? Or one of those spoiled brats who bully people every day?"
Although the other three people in the room didn't say anything, their expressions said it all. Sun Shao said angrily, "No, I was at a bar that day and I saw a guy drugging a woman's drink. When I stopped him, he kept spitting out feces, so I couldn't help but beat him up."
Jiang Yue and Zhou Zihan exchanged glances. After a moment, Zhou Zihan spoke up: "That's it? I don't think you did anything wrong. You saved someone, which can be considered eliminating a scourge for the people. Your father isn't the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong, is he? Or does the other party have some powerful background that your father can't afford to offend?"
"Is the injury still very serious? Is there no way to save him?"
"Cough, the rest of the injuries are just superficial. The main problem is that I couldn't help but kick him in the groin twice, and then that thing stopped working. Plus, the other guy has some connections, so it's not easy to deal with him."
"So that person was completely crippled?"
Sun Shao didn't speak, but Jiang Yue thought he did a good job this time: "So who is the other party? It can't be the young master of the Li Group that Xiaohan mentioned, right?"
"No, it's an American guy whose family owns a pharmaceutical company."
Jiang Yue was even more pleased to learn that the other party was a foreigner. She poured a cup of tea and offered it to Young Master Sun, leaving him completely bewildered: "Aren't you angry that I went too far?"
"No, I think it's perfect. A foreigner who resorts to such despicable methods as drugging people is lucky to survive. It's better to cripple him so he can avoid harming more people."
Zhou Zihan nodded in agreement. Both Zhou Zihan and Jiang Yue were women, and naturally they deeply abhorred this kind of trash. Hearing Jiang Yue say this, Sun Shao stood up and said, "I told you I did nothing wrong. It's all because of my dad. He had to make a mountain out of a molehill, even stopping my card and not letting my friends support me. Now I can't even afford to eat. Sigh~."
"How long have you been in Beijing? Don't you have any friends here?"
"About half a month? No, I haven't even been here before, so how could I have any friends?"
"Okay, should I lend you some money so you can find somewhere to stay, or should you stay with me for a few days?"
"Stay here, your cooking is better than the hotel's."
After understanding the reason, they had only been chatting for a short while when they heard the child crying. Zhou Zihan and her husband rushed to the guest room to comfort the child. After they left, Jiang Yue and Sun Shao were left alone. Jiang Yue suddenly asked, "I still don't know your name."
"Sun Chengqi!"
"The name is quite nice."
Jiang Yue knew that he must have been hiding something from what he said before. If it were that simple, he wouldn't have come all the way to Beijing without a penny to his name. He didn't even dare to contact his old friends in Beijing. As for his claim that he didn't know anyone, who would believe him? However, the people present were all smart and didn't expose him.
Jiang Yue wasn't afraid that he would implicate her; she wasn't afraid of that. Her main concern was whether it would implicate the female lead. After all, she had come to Beijing and made contact with Sun Shao, and the butterfly effect had already occurred. So she gave Bai Ze an order to send a puppet to Guangzhou to find out the details.
When Zhou Zihan came out carrying the two children, Jiang Yue had already become somewhat familiar with Sun Shao. He wasn't a bad person at heart; he was a man of character. Since it was still a bit cold after the New Year, Jiang Yue and Zhou Zihan didn't take the children out with them. Instead, they each took one and went to visit Jiang Yue's bedroom, leaving the two men in the media room.
Because Zhou Zihan now owns a clothing factory, Jiang Yue took her to the walk-in closet. The wardrobe was full of the latest trends in Beijing, which she had just bought for the New Year. Zhou Zihan glanced at it and realized that she basically had everything there. They then chatted about last year, and Jiang Yue asked the female lead, "What brings you to Beijing this time? Do you need any help? Just let me know if you do."
"It's not a big deal. First, I'm looking at the business environment in Beijing. I'm thinking of opening a garment factory here. Second, I bought a few houses in Beijing for my children's future schooling. Also, I'm waiting for them to appreciate in value, so I'm treating it as an investment. The money is just sitting in the bank anyway."
"Yue'er, if you have spare money, you can buy some houses, especially courtyard houses. Maybe rich people will like these in the future."
Jiang Yue was a little touched by these words. If a fake best friend could still offer some advice, then she was a good best friend. Jiang Yue nodded and said, "Great minds think alike. I also think that house prices may rise in the future, so I have already bought a lot and stored them up. Now they are all rented out."
The fact that the two shared the same understanding made Zhou Zihan very happy. They discussed the topic for a long time before stopping when the child got hungry. After Zhou Zihan and her husband returned to their room, Sun Shao approached Jiang Yue and said, "Hey, could you lend me some money? I need to buy some clothes."
"Okay, I'll give you ten thousand first, is that enough?"
Jiang Yue wasn't worried about him not paying back the 10,000 yuan she lent him. Besides, he had contributed to the initial funding. Even if he didn't pay it back, she wouldn't feel bad. The fee she paid to Attorney Zhang was more than that.
