Chapter 573 Luo Hao wants to rent a house with Xia Yichu
Pei Shizhou stayed with Xia Yichu as usual, but he made a few phone calls to have others investigate.
Around 7 p.m., Pei Shizhou's assistant, Xie Zekai, came to his house looking for him.
"Mr. Pei, Madam, Luo Hao's batch of goods was ordered by a Hong Kong businessman. In addition to ordering Luo Hao's goods, he also ordered goods from other companies."
But strangely, he accepted all the other people's goods and paid in full. He refused to accept Luo Hao's goods and simply disappeared.
This is all the information Xie Zekai has been able to find. Many Hong Kong businessmen have come to the mainland to do business over the years. Finding out his identity in a short time will be difficult.
"What makes my uncle's goods different from those of other vendors?"
Xia Yichu asked, puzzled. Logically speaking, Luo Hao had been in business for so many years, he shouldn't be so easily deceived.
Furthermore, Xie Zekai's statement couldn't confirm whether this matter was related to Xia Guofang being scammed. Could it be that Luo Hao was simply unlucky, with everything happening at once?
"Yes, that Hong Kong businessman placed the most orders with him. The businessman said that other people's goods were of poor quality, but he was very satisfied with the quality of Luo Hao's goods, so he directly ordered more than a million yuan worth of goods."
Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu remained silent. The situation was becoming increasingly complicated, and they couldn't guess what was going on.
In her previous life, Xia Yichu only knew that Xia Guofang was persuaded by Xu Yumei to invest money, and Xu Yumei scolded her for being stupid at home.
Xu Yumei had also told her that Luo Hao's family was ruthless enough to have squeezed all the wealth they had accumulated over the years. Xia Yichu didn't have a good relationship with her family, so Xu Yumei and Liu Yaohui, mother and son, said this in front of her.
Because Xu Yumei was arrested early on, the time when Luo Hao's family got into trouble had long passed, so Xia Yichu didn't take the matter to heart.
I never imagined that even after several years, the same thing would happen again, just like in my past life.
"Furthermore, I found out that Xia Guofang was indeed scammed by the Luo family. They colluded with outsiders to set a trap for Xia Guofang."
It started with Luo Hao's older brother, Luo Wei, whose wife deliberately wore gold and silver jewelry in front of Xia Guofang.
The implication was that her family had a very lucrative business. At first, she only hinted at it, making Xia Guofang think she was there to show off her wealth.
After visiting Xia Guofang's house several times and deliberately letting Xia Guofang know what they were doing, Xia Guofang gradually developed feelings for him.
The Luo family was particularly clever. Instead of directly introducing them to Xia Guofang, they lured her to follow them step by step and then find the loan sharks herself.
Xie Zekai didn't even need to say anything; Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu could guess what was going to happen next.
"Did those people escape? What's the Luo family up to now?"
It would be the best outcome if Luo Hao could recover half of his losses. Those who lend money are all shrewd people, and it won't be easy to find them.
"The people who lent money ran away as soon as they got all the money from Xia Guofang's family. It's not easy to find them. They split the money 50/50 with the Luo family."
The Luo family probably won't dare to make such a big move with that money for the time being; they likely want to wait until the dust settles before spending it.
This was Xie Zekai's guess. He had asked around to Luo Wei's neighbors yesterday, but they hadn't heard of them buying anything expensive recently.
After all, apart from Luo Hao, the rest of the Luo family members were all working odd jobs. It would be hard not to suspect them if they suddenly took out that sum of money to spend.
"Okay, I understand. Have someone keep a close eye on the Luo family."
"Yes, Mr. Pei."
After Xie Zekai left, Pei Shizhou hugged Xia Yichu and said, "Don't think about it anymore. Go take a shower and go to bed. I'll take care of your uncle's matter."
Don't worry about the money. You know, ten million is nothing to me.
Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu returned from Grandpa Xia's house and went straight to their own home. Lin Weidong and his wife didn't say anything, only asking Pei Shizhou to take good care of Xia Yichu, as they were worried that the Yu family would come to cause trouble again.
"Okay, carry me inside to take a bath."
Xia Yichu wrapped her arms around Pei Shizhou's neck and whispered in his ear.
"Yes, it would be my pleasure to do it for you."
Xia Yichu didn't take a nap at noon; she fell asleep shortly after taking a shower. Pei Shizhou sighed, touching her belly, and lay down to sleep as well.
In the morning, after getting up, Pei Shizhou called Xia Zhiheng and told him what Xie Zekai had found out. Then, he took Xia Yichu to Xia's grandfather's house.
After a night, they wondered how Luo Hao was doing. When they arrived, Luo Hao was washing dishes in the kitchen, while Grandpa Xia was watching TV in the living room.
"grandfather"
"grandfather"
"Xiao Chu, A Zhou, you're here! Come in and sit down. Have you had breakfast?"
Grandpa Xia stood up to greet them; he seemed to be in good spirits.
"I've eaten, Grandpa. How's Uncle?"
Xia Yichu looked towards the kitchen and asked, "Xia Guofang isn't here. He was chased away by Grandpa Xia yesterday and doesn't dare to come over."
"It's alright. He's been in business for so many years, he's seen all sorts of ups and downs, and he's in a much better mood than yesterday."
As Grandpa Xia was speaking, Luo Hao came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes and called to them as usual.
"Shizhou, Xiaochu."
Luo Hao's condition is better than yesterday, but not by much.
Uncle
Uncle
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Now that you're here, you can stay and take care of Dad. I need to go and take care of those things."
Running away doesn't mean things will pass. After a night, Luo Hao had figured out how to resolve the situation.
"Uncle, what do you want to do?"
Knowing from Xie Zekai that the money the Luo family had swindled from Xia Guofang was still there, Xia Yichu wasn't too worried about Luo Hao's situation.
"Sell the company, pay off the outstanding debts first, then pay the employees' wages. After that, I'll go out and find another job. Don't worry! I can definitely support my two children."
"Xiao Chu, do you still have any apartments you can rent to me? Charge me the same amount you rent to others. I need to pay the bank interest in a couple of days, and I don't have the money right now. I've also been busy these past few days and haven't had time to look for an apartment."
Luo Hao's expression was unnatural. If it weren't for the two children present, he wouldn't have had the nerve to ask Xia Yichu for help.
He knew that renting Xia Yichu's house now was taking advantage of her, but Luo Hao had no choice but to speak up.
"Uncle, I don't want to rent the house to you. You and..."
Before Xia Yichu could finish speaking, Grandpa Xia interrupted her anxiously. He knew Luo Hao was concerned about his reputation and certainly wouldn't want Xiaochu to let him live in the house for free.
"Luo Hao, there's no rush with the house. Let the two kids stay at Zhiqian's house for a few days. Anyway, Zhiqian's house isn't far from the kids' school. You should settle this first, then we can talk about the house."
"Dad, this is not appropriate."
Luo Hao didn't want to trouble Xia Zhiqian. His child was still young, and he knew his youngest son's character all too well.
He's incredibly annoying when he gets rowdy; if you stayed with them for too many days, you'd be driven crazy by him.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. Don't think I don't know. You helped Zhiqian a lot when he first started driving for the convoy."
If you ask me, you should listen to them, borrow money from them first, and then pay Zhiqian and Azhou back later when you've made it back to normal. We're all family, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.
"Dad, didn't we agree on this last night? Why are you bringing it up again?"
Last night, Luo Hao explained to Grandpa Xia why he couldn't lend money, and Grandpa Xia was convinced by him.
