Li Cui was terrified and scrambled to Zhang Peng's side.
"Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself?"
Zhang Peng clutched his chest, his face contorted in pain, "It hurts..."
Li Cui turned around and glared fiercely at Xu Tian, "How could you be so reckless? If you hurt my son, I'll never forgive you!"
Xu Tian snapped out of his daze and said coldly, "If you don't want me to kick you to death, get out of here! If you're not going to pay up, go ask Zhang Qian for the money!"
"You...you just wait!"
Li Cui was afraid that Zhang Peng would be beaten to death by Xu Tian before she could repay the money, so she hurriedly dragged Zhang Peng away. Just as they reached the corner of the alley, everything went black, and she was knocked unconscious and dragged away.
"Who are they?"
Su Nuannuan asked, her heart pounding.
Helpless, Xu Tian had no choice but to reveal their origins. Judging from their terrified expressions, he could guess the gist of it. Zhang Peng was usually idle and lazy, unwilling to do anything. The reason he hadn't done those petty thefts was because of Xu Tian's previous support.
Now that he and Zhang Qian are divorced, Zhang Peng can only ask Zhang Qian for money. However, Zhang Qian's company is in crisis, so she has neither the money nor the energy to take care of him. In the long run, Zhang Peng will definitely not be able to survive without money, so he naturally resorts to crooked means.
Judging from this situation, he probably got into trouble because he couldn't repay money he borrowed at high interest rates.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian suddenly felt uneasy. He could find this place today, and he might come back tomorrow. If this continued, Su Nuannuan and Su Zhen would not be able to stay here peacefully, and they might even get into big trouble.
Thinking of this, Xu Tian felt extremely guilty.
"Nuan Nuan, why don't you and Uncle Su move out for a while?"
Su Nuannuan shook her head. "No, even if I agree, my dad won't."
Su Zhen came out of the room at this moment, "Let's listen to Xu Tian this time. These two have gotten themselves into a lot of trouble!"
Su Zhen is a man who can tell the general idea even without coming out of the room. Xu Tian can understand, let alone him.
If it were just him alone, it wouldn't matter, but Su Nuannuan couldn't be harmed. For safety's sake, he agreed to Xu Tian's suggestion.
Fortunately, Xu Tian had been looking at houses beforehand. The location was in the city center, not far from the company, and the security measures in the community were quite good. The greening rate was also 60%, making it convenient for Su Zhen to go downstairs to exercise on weekdays.
"Just pack some daily necessities and essentials; I'll take care of the rest."
After Xu Tian finished speaking, Su Nuannuan went into the room with Su Zhen to pack their things, while he called Chu Lan and asked her to buy all the furniture and deliver it to the new house as soon as possible.
Chu Lan realized the seriousness of the matter and quickly instructed her secretary to take action. After finishing with the company matters, she arrived at her new residence.
When she arrived, Xu Tian had already arranged for cleaning staff to clean the house. The new furniture would arrive in the afternoon, and the group was sorting and putting away their belongings in large and small bags so that it would be easier to tidy up later.
"Why did you come here? Isn't the company busy?" Xu Tian asked with concern.
Chu Lan smiled and said, "Let me see if there's anything I can do to help."
“President Chu…President Chu!” Su Nuannuan stood to the side.
Chu Lan smiled like a friendly older sister, "You are Xu Tian's sister, and also my sister. Don't be so polite, just call me Sister Lan from now on."
Su Nuannuan used to think of Chu Lan as a domineering female CEO who was high and mighty, but now that Xu Tian had changed their relationship and how they addressed each other, she was a little uncomfortable and seemed very reserved.
Furthermore, since she and Chu Lan both liked the same man, she was even more at a loss as to how to get along with him, so she quickly made an excuse to pack her things and ran back to her new room.
"We just moved in, so it's our fault for not being courteous enough," Su Zhen said with a smile.
Chu Lan then noticed that there was another person in the house. Before Xu Tian could introduce her, she covered her mouth, her eyes filled with astonishment.
It turns out that the mastermind behind Xu Tian was none other than Su Zhen!
Chu Lan had heard of him before he joined the Xu Group, and often saw him in various news and newspapers. He was an idol in Chu Lan's mind.
Unfortunately, just as she joined the Xu Group, thinking she could get closer to her idol, the era of this business tycoon came to an end, and he disappeared without a trace.
To my surprise, I ran into him here today!
"You know him?" Xu Tian looked at Chu Lan suspiciously.
After the initial shock, Chu Lan's face instantly broke into a childlike smile, yet it also carried a hint of restraint and disbelief.
She gently tugged at the hem of her dress, as if to tidy herself up, before daring to extend her hand to Su Zhen.
“Mr. Su, I… I am Chu Lan, and I work at the Xu Group. I have heard about your deeds since I was a child, and it is my greatest honor to meet you here.”
As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with a brilliant light as she tried her best to control her excitement, afraid of losing her composure in front of her idol.
Su Zhen smiled and shook her hand. "Let's not talk about the past. I'm just a father now."
"I should have come to pay my respects to you long ago, it's all Xu Tian's fault!"
As she spoke, Chu Lan glared at him playfully, "It's all your fault, you kept stopping me from seeing you."
Xu Tian scratched his head awkwardly, and Su Zhen smiled and came to his rescue, "I haven't been involved in worldly affairs for many years, and Xu Tian is just being considerate of me."
Chu Lan stopped blaming Xu Tian, but in front of her idol, everything she said and did seemed wrong, and her confidence in front of others vanished.
Seeing that Chu Lan was so uncomfortable, Xu Tian tried to ease her awkwardness.
"By the way, has that medical aesthetics group made any new moves lately?"
Chu Lan's expression darkened at the mention of the Mei Yi Group. Xu Tian didn't notice this change, but Su Zhen did.
“I’ve always treated Xu Tian like my own child. If you have any questions, you can ask me,” Su Zhen said understandingly.
Chu Lan paused for a moment, then said, "There are indeed some questions I need to ask you, if it's convenient for you."
Su Zhen nodded. From Chu Lan's attitude, he could tell that Chu Lan had some concerns about Xu Tian, and promptly said, "
I'm actually missing a few things. There's a supermarket downstairs, would you like to come shopping with me?
Chu Lan was a smart man, and readily agreed.
After the two left, chatting and laughing, Xu Tian was left alone, feeling bewildered.
So familiar with everyone, and you just left him here?
Once downstairs, Chu Lan couldn't wait to reveal the true purpose of the Mei Yi Group, while Su Zhen frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.
Su Zhen didn't think it was solely aimed at the Xu Group. He and the Xu family were old friends, so he naturally knew a lot about their affairs.
He had seen plenty of ingratitude, but the fact that Meiyi Group had come to Jiangcheng in such a grand manner just to make the Xu Group's small branch here go out of business seemed like a huge effort with little effect, unlike revenge.
The Xu Group has a vast business empire, and the loss of a branch in a small city like Jiangcheng poses no threat whatsoever. So this time, the target isn't the Xu Group, but Xu Tian!
