Chapter 887 Cowardice and Determination
"Dong dong~"
There were hurried and heavy footsteps outside the door.
Xiao Xiao could even hear the other person's heavy breathing.
"Bang~"
This was the sound of someone banging on the door.
Meng Jixi glanced at Xiao Xiao, and seeing that the other party had no intention of objecting, he stood up and opened the door.
The person outside the door looked like he was about to knock.
Because the door opened suddenly, he looked a little dazed.
Then, seeing that it was Young Master Meng, the man's face lit up with joy, "Young Master Meng, you're here too!"
He originally wanted to come to Xiao Xiao to ask if there was any news about Young Master Meng.
Because, "After I went back yesterday, I received several calls from my eldest brother."
"He asked me to give him the property certificate as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, he'll talk to me again!"
The man spoke very quickly, his face full of panic.
What conversation? That's the eldest brother threatening to beat him again!
The bruise from last time hasn’t healed yet. If it happens again, he will definitely have to go to the hospital.
Thinking of the pain of being beaten, he shuddered all over.
So, he came here early in the morning.
The appearance of Young Master Meng finally stabilized his heartbeat, which had been disordered all night.
The fact that he showed up in the teahouse so quickly means that things are going well.
"Master Meng, how is it?"
The man's eyes were full of hope, "Big brother definitely can't stand the investigation!"
"He is definitely not clean!"
"Yes or no?!"
"Come in."
Xiao Xiao frowned as he looked at the person shouting at the door.
Fortunately, this is a teahouse, it is still early, and it is on the second floor, so there are not many people.
Otherwise, there would probably be onlookers by now.
Meng Jixi grabbed the man's arm and pulled him in.
Then he closed the door of the box.
"Ah, sorry."
The man also realized that he was too excited.
To be honest, he was the one who least wanted others to know about this.
But, "That-"
The man looked at the two people sitting in their seats with a leisurely look on their faces, and his smile was a little stiff. "The results of the investigation are out, right?"
"Well, it's out."
Seeing that Master Xiao had no intention of speaking, Meng Jixi shrugged and answered the question of the very restless man.
"That?"
The man stared at Meng Jixi with burning eyes.
His body couldn't help but lean forward a little towards Meng Jixi.
"I'm sorry, but the big brother you mentioned doesn't have any problems."
Meng Jixi spread his hands, "He is a businessman with a clean record."
"How can it be?!"
The man couldn't help but scream.
Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi both frowned subconsciously.
The little white fox raised his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed.
Gone in a flash.
"what?!"
The man exclaimed.
He reached out and wiped his face, which was covered with tea.
He was stunned.
what happened?
He couldn't help but look at Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi in confusion.
Did one of them throw the tea in his face?
"You were so excited just now that the tea on the table splashed."
Xiao Xiao handed the tissue box to the man, "Wipe it off."
"oh oh."
The man looked confused and didn't think there was anything wrong.
His entire mind is now focused on the bad news that just happened.
My brother found out that there was no problem.
So, does he have to give the other party the property certificate?
The man was in a trance and easy to fool, but Meng Jixi was not.
He also didn't notice how the tea splashed onto the man's face.
However, he knew that this was definitely not what Master Xiao had just said, that the man had done it himself. In his opinion, this must have been done by Master Xiao.
However, Meng Jixi frowned and tried hard to recall the scene just now, but still found nothing.
He couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
I know there is something wrong with the other person, but I can't find anything.
This was hard for him to accept, as he always prided himself on his extraordinary observation skills.
"What should I do?"
The man suddenly raised his head and shouted, his eyes and eyebrows were gray.
"Is it true that we can't keep that house?"
Thinking of the sighs of the two old people at home last night and the faint light in their eyes, he felt extremely uncomfortable for a moment.
"If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"
Meng Jixi actually doesn't look down on people who regret their actions afterwards.
Why didn't you think about the consequences when you did something stupid?
Later, when he suffered a loss, he looked like he regretted his decision.
Do you really think that just apologizing is enough for anything?
"I know."
The man hunched his back and drooped his head. "I already regret it."
"I know I was wrong."
"Is there no chance of salvation?"
"Why don't you tell that big brother that you will work like a slave for him in exchange for 100 million?"
"Let's forget about the house?"
Meng Jixi suggested in a serious tone, "Everyone is responsible for their own actions."
"The misfortune does not affect the parents, right?"
"That house obviously belongs to your parents, not you."
The man was stunned.
The hands on his knees suddenly clenched into fists.
He was silent for a long time.
"how?"
"Don't you dare anymore?"
Meng Jixi "fanned the flames".
".That house is mine."
The man whispered, "I am the only son in the family."
"The house is mine after all."
"Ah."
Meng Jixi sneered, "You are such a good son."
The man's face suddenly turned red.
Any man with a bit of blood in his veins would not be able to resist being verbally coerced and provoked by a young man so much younger than him.
He is cowardly and timid, but if possible, he doesn't want to make his parents sad.
He was also in pain.
"Clap~"
The man slammed the table hard, "Enough, I don't want this either!"
The pain in his hands was nothing compared to the turmoil in his heart.
"I don't want to either"
The wrinkles at the corners of the old lady's eyes and the old man's mostly white hair that he noticed last night surged in his mind.
Compared to the last time I saw my parents, they really looked much older.
After coming out of the teahouse yesterday, he hesitated for a long time before he was discovered by the old lady who opened the door and stepped into the house.
It was already dusk.
He stayed in his room all night.
Didn't even eat.
The call from my eldest brother, the strangeness of not being home for so long, and the trouble I had brought to my family.
All this made him confused and anxious, and he had no appetite at all.
He even kept his eyes open until dawn.
He remembered that when he was about to step out of the room, the old lady asked him to have breakfast before leaving.
The old man sat aside without saying a word. Seeing that he didn't respond, he glared at him and told him to sit over there.
He didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he finished that breakfast.
But now, just thinking about it made his nose sore.
Even my vision became a little blurry.
He blinked hard.
"Okay, I'll call Big Brother!"
"I'll work like a slave for him!"
"I will pay back the 100 million with my own ability!"
ps: Thank you Lu Youyou, Qiufeng Yeying and DArk for the rewards (*︶*)!
