Downstairs, Jiang Fan didn't rush to leave. He put down the things in his hand and frowned.
"The Lin Xuan you mentioned, is he from Changxiang Group?"
Guan Junbiao shrugged and said with a sneer,
"How many eldest sons could the Lin family have? His father married the sister of Tang Shu and Lin Mengde, who were sworn brothers, for the sake of Changxiang's shares. None of them are good."
Guan Dagou cursed the Lin father and son while smoking. Jiang Fan, standing aside, felt relieved in his heart. Since Guan Dagou was so strongly averse to the Lin family., they probably wouldn't accept this job. Jiang Fan sighed.
"This brat really doesn't want to let me off. Who else can he find if you don't take this job?"
"Not take it? We didn't refuse. We took it."
Guan Junbiao looked at Jiang Fan in surprise, and at this moment, Jiang Fan was already looking for a brick to use with his eyes. Guan Junbiao, who had been through the ups and downs of society for many years, immediately understood Jiang Fan's intention. He stood up and said awkwardly with a smile,
"Brother, taking the job is taking the job, but whether to do it or not is up to us. If today's incident hadn't happened, someone might have taken action against you one day. But now, they won't. As the saying goes, 'No fight, no acquaintance', right? Moreover, our young mistress seems to be very satisfied with you as her uncle."
"Doesn't your old man care about Tu Kun's puppy love?"
"Care? Why should he care? Our master has better insight than us dogs. None of the Tu family are educated. I heard that this kid, Li Jiawei, is good at studying. The reason why we didn't go to the school earlier this time was also to see if Li Jiawei has some manliness. We don't expect him to solve the problem, just dare to come to the school. The rest is our Tu family's business. Our master and young mistress have said that as long as they don't go to bed, they can play around as they want. It's fine if Li Jiawei is devoted to our young mistress."
This...
Jiang Fan didn't know how to comment on Tu Kun's father. Is he good? There are still some issues with his upbringing. Is he bad? He dotes on his daughter too much. When Jiang Fan had something on his mind, he always wanted to smoke a cigarette. Tang Wan didn't say anything about it, but it was obvious that she didn't like the smell.Resisting the urge to smoke, he frowned and said again,
"400,000 yuan for two legs? I'm quite valuable, huh? How would you do it if you were to take action?"
Guan Junbiao took out a cigarette and offered it to Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan gently shook his head. Guan Dagou put the cigarette case away again and smiled softly,
"We'll find a car to hit you, or we'll just grab you somewhere without surveillance at night and take action directly. This 400,000 yuan can't buy lifelong disability. This amount of money is not enough."
"How much did Lin Xuan give you?"
"A 100,000 yuan deposit."
"If you break my legs, I won't sue you. You can give me 300,000 yuan."
Jiang Fan's suggestion startled Guan Dagou, and then he said with a bitter expression,
"Brother, your photo is on our master's desk now. Even if you break my dog's leg, I dare not take action against you. If you're short of money, I'll give you 50,000 yuan, brother. I can't give you more than that."
Jiang Fan shrugged and sneered,
"Look at you. I'm just kidding. When we have time, let's go to the boxing gym to practice and stretch our muscles. Is it fine if you don't take action and Lin Xuan doesn't care?"
Guan Junbiao looked disdainful.
"What's the relationship? Does he dare to come and ask me for money? It's obvious extortion. What can he do? If he has the ability, he can report it to the police. When things get bigger, we'll just send a little brother in to serve a few years in prison, but Lin Xuan can't afford to lose his reputation. Brother, I have to leave now. The young mistress will get annoyed with my nagging soon. You don't need to leave your phone number. I'll find you."
Guan Dagou, wearing a red suit and a ponytail, ran away.
Guan Dagou's gift-giving was a pretext; his real intention was to come over and clarify this matter. Jiang Fan frowned and went upstairs, unable to understand what benefit Guan Dagou could gain by telling him this. Lin Xuan's wealth was renowned in the city and even the entire province. Why would Tu Xiao, for such a minor figure as him, offend Lin Xuan?
Jiang Fan couldn't figure it out. When he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Xiao Tukun, wearing a loose school uniform, standing outside the door with her back against the wall. The little girl hurried over to take the things from Jiang Fan's hand and looked up, grinning.
"Don't worry too much, Xiao Jiu. I know what relationship you and Li Jiawei have. Today, Guan Dagou coming to tell you these things can also be considered Jiawei's gratitude for helping out at school. I don't want Jiawei's family to owe anyone."
Bang!
Jiang Fan waved his hand and gave Xiao Tukun a slap on her smooth forehead, laughing and scolding, "What makeup is this little girl wearing? I helped Jiawei because his mother is my landlord and has given me help and care. You're still young; focus more on studying."
Xiao Tukun stared at Jiang Fan in disbelief, whispering in shock, "You dare to hit me? Jiang Fan, you dare to hit me?"
After speaking, Jiang Fan grabbed Tukun's neck and pushed her towards the door, which was slightly ajar. After entering, Jiang Fan lifted his foot and gently kicked the little girl's buttocks, laughing, "You call me Xiao Jiu, so I consider you my niece. What? Can't I hit you?"
Miss Tu had never been touched by anyone since she was a child, and after her mother's death, she had received double or even triple the doting from her father. Today, she had been slapped and kicked? The little girl couldn't bear it, her chest heaving. Suddenly, Tukun's mouth pouted, and she cried out, "Wa!" Then she ran to the living room, put down the things, hugged Tang Wan's arm, and began to complain.
"Tang Jie, Xiao Jiu hit me! I kindly helped him get things, but he said I was slow and kicked my buttocks, and he also hit my forehead."
Tang Wan frowned at the cunning little girl beside her and then lifted her head, her eyes sending two cold glances towards Jiang Fan, not because he kicked Tukun but because of where he kicked her.
It was a warm day with a temperature of over 30 degrees, but Jiang Fan couldn't help but shiver. Muttering that he would go help with cooking, he went to the kitchen. As he left, he thought to himself that kids these days were really hard to deal with.
After Jiang Fan left, Tukun released Tang Wan's arm, and the two girls continued with their own tasks without disturbing each other, as if they weren't the ones who had just affectionately held arms.
The dinner was so abundant that Jiang Fan didn't know how to start eating, and even Tang Wan, who was usually cold and aloof, showed a smile.
Because there was a small basin of hairy crabs on the table, Tang Wan used a small spoon in her left hand and directly reached out with her right hand to grab one. Just as she extended her hand, Jiang Fan hit her with his chopsticks. Tang Wan frowned, and Jiang Fan also frowned.
"You're a guest. Why are you in such a hurry before the host starts eating?"
"Oh, Jiang Fan, why are you bullying Wanwan? What host and guest? We're all family! Here, pick a big one for Wanwan!"
The landlord lady put a crab in Tang Wan's bowl. Tang Wan shook her head pitifully and whispered, "He doesn't eat crabs and doesn't let me eat them too. I haven't eaten crabs for a long time."
This didn't sit well with the landlord lady. She gently patted Jiang Fan's shoulder and scolded, "You can't eat them, but you can't stop Wanwan from eating them too. Jiang Fan, this is not right."
Jiang Fan had a bellyful of grievances and no place to vent. At this moment, he heard Xiao Tukun muttering something. He didn't catch it clearly, but it was definitely not something good. Jiang Fan didn't want to deal with these two girls and asked about Li Jiawei's grades. There was no 100% certainty about getting into the first high school, but they would try. The second high school was already considered stable.
It seemed that his grades were not bad. With some effort, getting into a 211 or 985 university should not be a problem, as long as he kept working hard. Jiawei had a good personality, so the landlord lady didn't need to worry too much.
Perhaps children from single-parent families tended to mature earlier. The landlord lady seemed quite open-minded about the issue of puppy love, as long as it didn't affect the two children's studies and didn't lead to anything excessive.
Looking at the landlord lady and thinking of Tu Xiao, Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
When he married Tang Wan, the old man even said he got married too early. Looking at the kids now, Jiang Fan felt old.
After dinner, the two children went to study. Jiang Fan helped clear the table and then left the landlord lady's house with Tang Wan. On the way back, Tang Wan whispered that she didn't like the child Tu Kun. Being so young, he had a cunning that didn't match his age, which was greatly related to his family environment.
Tang Wan was still criticizing others shamelessly. Tu Kun was somewhat precocious, but you are simply immature!
Just after they arrived home, the two children came over. Li Jiawei came with a math problem he couldn't understand. It was about what color a bear would be if it fell into a pit. Jiang Fan frowned and scolded the person who made up the problem, wondering if he was sick. Tang Wan snatched the book and explained it to Li Jiawei, extending from math to geography and finally to biology. Jiang Fan couldn't understand it and simply went to the bathroom to wash clothes.
Tang Wan, who claimed to be a neat freak but was actually messy, always wore light-colored clothes. Jiang Fan washed them one by one. Tu Kun squatted at the door of the bathroom, watching Jiang Fan seriously and saying that he should be a househusband. Jiang Fan raised his head and asked with a smile,
"Why do you say that?"
"Tang Wan doesn't look like a woman who would do housework. Your house is so clean, with no hair on the ground, and the floor tiles can be used as mirrors. Aren't you washing these clothes? I also saw you cooking in the kitchen when we were at Li Jiawei's house, Jiang Fan!"
Slap!
With a wet hand, he slapped Tu Kun on the forehead. The little girl instantly got upset and tried to fight with Jiang Fan. However, her arms were too short, and she couldn't reach Jiang Fan after he pressed her forehead. Finally, after being tapped on the forehead, she pouted and went back to the living room to seek comfort from Li Jiawei.
Li Jiawei was studying, and Tu Kun was disturbing him. Surprisingly, the two little ones even had a sweet feeling. After ten o'clock, Tu Kun's phone rang. Guan Junbiao came to pick her up. Jiang Fan sent the two children out but didn't go downstairs, fearing that Guan the bulldog might suddenly say something that he couldn't digest for a while.
After hanging up the clothes and finishing his chores, Jiang Fan took a shower, changed his clothes, and went upstairs to rest. Lying on the tatami mat, he pondered over Lin Xuan. This guy didn't seem very intelligent and gave off the impression of being a frivolous and brainless person, but he was quite ruthless and generous when it came to taking action.
Four hundred thousand yuan!
