Chapter 183 Pei Shizhou uses a scheme to get Xia Zhiqian away
Xia Yichu was very happy when she got home after 4 p.m. Next, she would find a reliable person to renovate the two houses so they could be rented out after the school was built.
However, these things aren't urgent; she doesn't have enough money for twenty-four houses right now. She spent two million two hundred thousand two thousand seven hundred and twenty thousand two hundred and twenty thousand on the houses today. Luckily, Pei Shizhou was worried about not having enough money, so he withdrew one million two hundred thousand when he went to withdraw cash, and she borrowed thirty thousand from him. Although she has a spatial ability, it's not convenient to use it directly.
"I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"OK"
Pei Shizhou agreed, and Xia Zhiqian sat on Pei Shizhou's sofa with a unhappy expression, but he did not object.
Pei Shizhou thought for a moment and said, "Zhiqian, what would you like to eat? Yichu and I are happy today because we bought a house, so please order whatever you like."
"casual"
Xia Zhiqian said impatiently, "I'm annoyed. What's there to celebrate?"
"Yichu, how would you like the house decorated? When do you plan to start decorating?"
Pei Shizhou seemed oblivious to Xia Zhiqian's displeasure, and continued chatting with Xia Yichu about the house, from renovations to future rentals.
Ten minutes later, Xia Zhiqian went from being unhappy to irritable, and then to finally losing his temper and standing up, saying, "I'm not eating, I have to go."
After Xia Zhiqian finished speaking, he walked out and drove away. Pei Shizhou's lips curled up; the eyesore was finally gone, and he could finally be alone with Xia Yichu.
"Yichu, let's go eat. There's a Western restaurant there that's pretty good. I'll take you there to try it."
"Okay, I'll go home for a bit and come back later."
"OK"
It's not even five o'clock yet; it's too early to go out for dinner. After Xia Yichu left, Pei Shizhou went to his study to work.
Xia Zhiqian left here to find his brother, called him out, and the two talked downstairs. Once downstairs, Xia Zhiqian poured out his troubles to his brother for a full half hour.
"You mean Xiao Chu earned over three million yuan and spent two million to buy a house today?"
"Brother, it's over two million two hundred and twenty thousand."
"That's not important. Tell me, is land really that valuable these days?"
Could it be that Pei Shizhou spent four million to buy land from Xiao Chu just to please her? Who can resist that? Xiao Chu will fall into Pei Shizhou's hands sooner or later.
"Yes, according to Xiao Chu and Pei Shizhou, that piece of land in Pengcheng is planned, so it's normal for prices to rise. Brother, that's not the key point. The key point is that Xiao Chu spent over two million yuan to buy two houses that nobody wanted."
Can I get a refund for the house now?
"Definitely not."
"There's no use in you being anxious. Alright, go back now! You've been out for over half an hour, and I need to go back to take care of your sister-in-law."
Xia Zhiheng was easygoing; the purchase was already made, and there was no use in rushing. Besides, Xia Yichu had earned the money herself, so she could spend it however she wanted. Even if she lost it all, it wouldn't matter; her uncle wouldn't let Xiao Chu go hungry.
"Brother, don't go yet. What should I do? If Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle find out that I took Xiao Chu to buy two houses that nobody wanted, will they kick me out of the house?"
"No, if you're worried about them scolding you, work hard to earn money and save up more dowry for Xiao Chu."
Xia Zhiheng patted his brother on the shoulder and said something, then turned to leave, while Xia Zhiqian muttered something behind him.
"I'm so angry! I don't know what got into Pei Shizhou today. I asked him to help persuade Xiao Chu. He agreed last night, but he betrayed me today and bought a house with Xiao Chu too."
Xia Zhiheng turned around and walked back, asking, "What did you say? Pei Shizhou bought a house too."
"Yes, he bought a house with Xiao Chu. He even told me in the car that if Xiao Chu wanted to sell the house later and couldn't, he would be willing to buy it. Is he stupid? He'd do a losing deal like that."
Xia Zhiqian's voice trailed off as he spoke, then suddenly he exclaimed, "Damn, Pei Shizhou wouldn't have bought the house because he likes Xiao Chu, trying to make her happy."
"Yes, you're only realizing this now! He's not stupid, you're the stupid one. It's so obvious, and you didn't even notice."
Xia Zhiheng looked at his younger brother speechlessly. He was usually quite smart, so why did he become stupid at this crucial moment?
"How could he be so shameless! He's so many years older than Xiao Chu, yet he still did it."
No wonder he kept talking about houses in front of me earlier; he was definitely trying to make me angry so he'd leave and go out to eat with Xiao Chu. Brother, you go home first, I'll go find him.
Xia Zhiqian was about to leave in a huff, but Xia Zhiheng quickly grabbed him.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Chu doesn't know that Pei Shizhou likes her. Don't reveal this secret."
Why?
"The young girl is naive and inexperienced. What if she finds out what Shi Zhou did for her and gets so touched that she starts dating him? Wouldn't that be counterproductive?"
"Brother, you're right. So what should we do now?"
"Wait here for me a moment. I'll go upstairs and tell your sister-in-law that we'll go find Xiao Chu together."
"Okay, brother, hurry up. Pei Shizhou definitely wants to go out to eat with Xiao Chu right now."
"it is good"
After Xia Zhiheng went home and told Su Qingyan that he was going to find Xia Yichu, they came downstairs. However, they were a step too late. When they arrived at Pei Shizhou's house, his car was not there, and no one answered when they knocked on the door.
"Let's go check on Xiao Chu's house."
"Brother, where do you think they'll go to eat?"
"How would I know? Didn't you say Xiao Chu was going to treat you to dinner? Did she say where they were going to eat?"
Although Xia Zhiheng and Pei Shizhou were in the same unit, after Xia Zhiheng returned from military service, he only met Pei Shizhou once or twice at his grandparents' house, and they never ate together.
While in the military, Pei Shizhou wanted to stay far away from girls and rarely talked about relationships. Sometimes when asked which girl he had his eye on, he would look uninterested, either saying there was no one or changing the subject.
"It doesn't seem to have been mentioned. I don't know; I wasn't paying attention."
His mind was still preoccupied with the dream he had last night about his grandfather and the others attacking him with knives. He had no interest in listening to them talk about where they were going to eat, or even whether they had mentioned it at all.
"Go knock on the door and see if Xiao Chu is home."
Xia Zhiqian knocked on Xia Yichu's door for a while, but no one answered.
"Okay, stop banging."
"Brother, what do we do now?"
"What else can we do but wait?"
Xia Zhiheng said irritably, "Kyoto is so big, do you think they can search for it one restaurant at a time?"
"Brother, have you eaten? I'm so hungry."
Xia Zhiqian's stomach was growling with hunger. He looked at his watch and it was 7:10. He hadn't eaten much for breakfast or lunch.
"I haven't eaten yet. Let's go eat first, then come back and wait for us."
They didn't go far, ordering three dishes and a soup at a restaurant near Pei Shizhou's house. They quickly finished eating and returned, only to find several people standing in front of Pei Shizhou's house, one of whom was knocking on the door.
It was quite far away and dark, so Xia Zhiheng and Xia Zhiqian didn't know who was knocking on their door. As they got closer, they recognized the person; they knew the person clearly recognized them too.
"Knowing balance and knowing humility."
