Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"
Chapter 15: Quit your job and work for me.
“Uncle Su…”
Xu Tian's throat tightened, and his voice stopped as an old man with a full head of white hair appeared.
Su Nuannuan's father, Su Zhen, was several years younger than Xu Tian's father. When the Su family moved away due to business troubles, he didn't look so haggard. Now, his father still looks radiant, but after so many years, Uncle Su has been worn down by time.
If Xu Tian bumped into him on the street, he would never recognize him. The only consolation now is that although the Su family has long lost its former glory, he can still see a trace of the past in Su Zhen.
Only those who do not bow down because of poverty can truly be considered heroes!
Su Zhen was looking Xu Tian up and down suspiciously. The person in front of him seemed familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"Dad, it's Tiantian! You forgot? He used to ride on your head and pee when he was little..."
Su Nuannuan blushed and glanced shyly at Xu Tian. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had grown up. Moreover, after so many years apart, they could no longer talk about things as freely as before.
"Tian Tian? You're Tian Tian? Old Xu's son!"
Su Zhen's pupils dilated, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
Xu Tian quickly went over, put the things on the ground, and hugged Su Zhen, his eyes slightly red.
Su Zhen smiled and looked at Xu Tian as if he were his own child, "Good lad, the bedwetting baby from before has grown up so much in the blink of an eye!"
"Uncle Su, please don't make fun of me!"
Xu Tian's unruly behavior as a child is too embarrassing to mention, especially the bedwetting incident.
He didn't wet the bed much when he was little, but whenever Su Zhen held him, he would always pee, which would make everyone burst into laughter.
At that time, Su Zhen not only didn't mind, but also joked with everyone with a happy face, saying that this kid would be part of my family from now on!
Seeing that the two of them were still as close as when they were children after so many years apart, Su Nuannuan's smile became even brighter.
"Don't just stand there, come in and sit down to talk."
Xu Tian then came to his senses and hurriedly carried the things into the living room, where he could now see the situation at a glance.
A worn-out row of sofas faces the door, and the television is an old model that was discarded years ago. The entire living room is devoid of any decent furniture.
"Give it to me."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Su Nuannuan's face as she hurriedly took the things from Xu Tian's hands.
Su Zhen didn't care at all. He had enjoyed wealth and luxury, but he had also experienced hardship since childhood. This was much better than his situation before he started a family and built his career.
During their casual conversation, Xu Tian learned about Su Zhen's current situation.
Although Su Zhen had a full head of white hair, he was in good health. When he first moved here, he thought about making a comeback, but making a comeback is not so easy. Moreover, Jiangcheng is not comparable to Beijing. It is all about interpersonal relationships. The two of them were unfamiliar with the place and people, so they did not make any big waves.
Su Nuannuan went from being a wealthy heiress to an ordinary person overnight, and she's been struggling with herself ever since, determined to start a business to help Su Zhen return to his peak.
Knowing this, Xu Tian was very pleased. Su Nuannuan had never been one to admit defeat since she was a child, and it was already quite remarkable that she hadn't given up because of it. In fact, she was determined to fight back on her own. In this respect, which of the women Xu Tian had met so far was not better than Zhang Qian?
Thinking of this, Xu Tianzhen was filled with regret and even wanted to slap himself hard.
"Xu Tian... what... what are you trying to do?"
Meeting Su Nuannuan's astonished gaze, Xu Tian reluctantly withdrew his hand.
"It's nothing, young people are too quick-witted!" Xu Tian smiled awkwardly, then added, "Since you want to start a business, why did you get involved with Meituan Waimai?"
Su Nuannuan said indignantly, "Do you think starting a business is so simple? Jiangcheng is a small place full of interpersonal relationships. My company was suppressed and went bankrupt last year!"
"Huh? What happened?" Xu Tian asked subconsciously.
Su Nuannuan sighed, "You've been in Jiangcheng for so many years, you must have heard of Hengtong Group, right?"
Xu Tian's heart skipped a beat. He had not only heard of it, but it was also considered his own property!
Su Nuannuan continued, "Last year, the Xu Group had an order that required my company to develop together. I invested all the money in the project, but unexpectedly, halfway through, they announced a change of leadership."
As she spoke, Su Nuannuan became furious. "Such a big company is so untrustworthy! I even went to make a scene, but I was stopped by security guards before I could even get in the door."
Xu Tian swallowed hard, looking guilty. "Then...then they didn't offer any compensation?"
"Yes, there are some, but I just can't swallow this anger, so I sued them in a fit of rage!"
As soon as Su Nuannuan finished speaking, Xu Tian's legs went weak. This was probably the old man's idea. After all, because of his connection, Hengtong Group could get anything from Xu's Group. If Su Nuannuan found out that the direct cause of her company's bankruptcy was him, then her childhood sweetheart, whom she had finally met, would probably become business enemies.
"And what was the result..." Xu Tian felt even more guilty.
Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes at him, "How could my little company win a lawsuit against such a big company? They just casually threw out a few pieces of paper with my company's operational violations and that was it."
"You don't plan to use the compensation money to start the company again?" Xu Tian asked.
Su Nuannuan poked him with her finger in exasperation, "Jiangcheng is such a small place, and they've ruined my company's reputation. I'm completely disgraced and have no credibility left. If I open another company, won't I just be waiting to lose everything?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore, it's bad luck!"
Xu Tian didn't dare to speak for a while and started to think about it carefully.
There was such an incident last year. At the time, there were rumors circulating in Jiangcheng's business circles that such a large leading company as Xu's Group needed to find small companies outside to cooperate with. When Zhang Qian received the invitation from Xu's Group, she invited many of her cronies to her house for a party. Perhaps because she was in a good mood, she even said a few gentle words to him, and he still remembers those words.
"Since I'm your wife, are you happy just because I'm happy?"
"Since you're happy, then you're in charge of the celebration at home tonight. Make sure you take good care of all my friends who are coming!"
He was treated like dirt, serving them like a dog until the party ended just because of those few nice words.
But now he realizes that because of him, his childhood sweetheart's company went bankrupt!
Looking up again, Xu Tian stared intently at Su Nuannuan, "Quit your food delivery job!"
