Jiang Tian's eyes turned wary: "What are you going to do?"
Li Xiu looked thoughtfully around Jiang Tian's house.
Dirt and disorder are visible everywhere.
Even though there were people at home, they all remained silent in the face of a woman's cries for help.
If Jiang Tian were still here, Li Xiu didn't think there would be much chance that she would succeed in her second rebellion if the man who was dragged away came back.
Li Xiu said coldly, "What do you think? Aren't you afraid of retaliation if you stay here?"
He didn't have time to get involved in Jiang Tian's dispute, so the easiest and most time-saving solution was to find her a new place to live.
Jiang Tian didn't move. She stiffly smoothed her messy hair with her fingers before speaking, "...Thank you. I've lived here for many years and I don't plan to move. I'll go to the police station later."
Li Xiu's expression remained unchanged: "Does the person who's been harassing you have no other family members? If you send him in, will that prevent other troubles?"
He was telling the truth, and Jiang Tian seemed to have taken it to heart.
But while clutching her bag tightly, she shook her head: "As long as you don't want him to die, sir, I'll handle everything else myself... Thank you."
Li Xiu could tell she was afraid of him.
After all, compared to that man from before, Li Xiu himself wasn't much better off.
It seems that his men kidnapped her not long ago and used her as bait to threaten Qiao Yulan to come back, which has had a significant impact on her.
He looked Jiang Tian up and down: "Don't let anything happen to you during these ten days. I'll have someone watching over you here."
He has already made a concession.
This time, Jiang Tian did not object.
She forced a smile: "I'll take good care of myself, thank you."
She then nodded slightly, removed the key, stepped into the house, and closed the door.
Li Xiu pointed to his smartest subordinate: "You stay here and keep watch. If she makes any moves, let me know immediately."
The subordinate nodded in agreement.
Li Xiu then left.
When he got back, he threw away the clothes he had worn in the slums.
If it weren't for Jiang Tian, he would never have set foot in that kind of place.
Poverty breeds evil.
Having seen so much of life, Li Xiu had no interest in saving others from suffering.
Li Xiu originally thought that there wouldn't be any major trouble on Jiang Tian's side.
She was a small clothing store owner who didn't argue with others and had limited daily contact with people, so she easily got through ten days.
But only three days later, his subordinates reported to him that Jiang Tian's biological father had arrived.
The old man was arguing fiercely with Jiang Tian and even brought a knife. His men didn't dare to approach him for a moment and could only ask Li Xiu for instructions on how to handle the situation.
"From what the old man said, he said that he gambled away all the money Jiang Tian gave him, and now he's asking for it again, this time for 50,000."
"When Jiang Tian said no, he pulled out a knife, and now the two sides are in a standoff."
His subordinates thought the CEO had assigned him an easy task, but who would have thought he would pull out a knife?
Li Xiu rubbed his temples, which were throbbing from staying up all night, took off his glasses, changed his clothes, and went over with his entourage.
After taking over the Li family's business, he had long been prepared to take revenge.
As long as Qiao Yulan hasn't returned to China, Jiang Tian will still be of use.
If Li Xiu sent his men alone, he was afraid they wouldn't be able to handle the situation, so he would have to make another trip.
When he arrived at his destination, the doors of the neighbors were closed again, as if no one lived there.
Only Jiang Tian was leaning against the door, arguing face-to-face with a disheveled old man.
She was crying, but her words were unwavering: "I've told you so many times, I have no money. Go ask someone else for it!"
The old man opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. He grinned maliciously and said, "You've already opened a shop, and you still have the nerve to say you have no money? It's only right to be filial to your parents. Hurry up and hand over the money, or I'll get angry."
Jiang Tian was unyielding this time, her tone extremely firm: "Then just kill me, I can't come up with a single penny."
However, her reckless words did not anger the old man.
The old man squinted at her and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright if you don’t have money… I finally gave birth to a beautiful daughter. She can give birth, take care of people, and make money. No matter who she marries, they will all want her.”
"Since you don't want to pay, then come with me. Even if we sell them by the day, I can still make a good amount."
The two people were having a conversation, while everyone around them kept their doors tightly shut.
But as soon as the old man finished speaking, a family opened their door.
"Uncle Jiang, let's keep the profits within the family. If you really want to do this kind of business, sell it to me tonight. I'll offer five thousand yuan!"
That person had a face full of pockmarks, was ugly and short, and looked like a rat.
His gaze fixed on Jiang Tian held an unspoken longing.
He must have been dreaming of this moment for a long time.
With someone chiming in, the old man's smile widened considerably. He shook his head and said, "With your looks, I'd lose money even if I sold you five thousand yuan for one night. I'd have to pay more."
The rat-like man immediately retorted, "Uncle Jiang, how can you say that? Everyone knows your daughter is a jinx to her husband. I'm afraid I'll be cursed to death if I sleep with her for one night."
"Five thousand yuan is quite a lot!"
