This place was almost the same as it had been twelve years ago, when he had left it, except that some parts of it were even more dilapidated.

Sitting in the dark room, Shu Zimo looked at the child in the yard.

There were about seven or eight children, which seemed to be much less than before. Even so, the monthly expenses of these seven or eight children should not be small.

Shu Zimo's brain paused for two seconds. Why was this name so familiar, Xiao Jie?

"Mrs Zhang, are we all being good today?"

She Xiaojie came back from the outside on a tricycle filled with vegetables and fruits. She had gone out to buy vegetables.

"Sister Xiao Jie, we were all very obedient and did not make any noise."

There was a four or five-year-old child who ran towards Xiao Jie with a smile.

"That's good. Everyone come and help me bring the fruits to the kitchen, okay?"

She Xiaojie smiled. Having been here for the past ten years, this was her home. Although Grandma Yu was no longer here, she still had to take care of this house and her brothers and sisters.

Shu Zimo had been observing the yard carefully. When that delicate and pretty figure appeared in front of him, he couldn't recognize her. Even her voice had changed.

The sounds in the nightclub were cold, but here they were cheerful and pleasant.

He stood up and walked out.

"Miss He, long time no see."

Shu Zimo smiled sinisterly. What was this called? It didn't take any effort to get it.

"Sir, you must be mistaken."

When She Xiaojie heard that evil voice, her hand that was holding the apple stiffened. However, she reacted very quickly so that no one could see the flaw in her action.

"Will it? "Miss He is really great, earning money to raise these children in nightclubs. I'm impressed, I'm impressed. Miss He can be said to be a living thunderbolt in the modern era."

Shu Zimo said half sarcastically and half seriously.

"Xiao Jie, do you know this mister? He's been here for a while. "

The middle-aged woman from before looked suspiciously at Xiao Jie and Shu Zimo.

"Yes, this gentleman is a good person. He wants to find a more comfortable environment for the children. Sister Lan, I'll leave it to you. I'll go out to talk to Mr. Shu."

He Xiaojie stared at Shu Zimo, saying unwillingly.

Shu Zimo smiled. From this point of view, this woman was not so stubborn. If that was the case, then the matter of buying the land could be resolved easily.

"Miss He, aren't you changing?"

Seeing the simple T-shirt, the cowboy, and even some dirt, Shu Zimo smiled.

"No need, please, Mister Shu."

Xiao Jie did not want this playboy to stand here, not even for a second, as if he would dirty this land.

"It's hard to imagine that a girl from a nightclub would do such dirty work."

Shu Zimo's words came from the bottom of his heart. In his memory, those ladies were lazy to eat.

"Mr. Shu, I'm a waiter, not a lady. Please don't be confused."

He Xiaojie said with a dark expression.

She went to the nightclub to work as a waitress because the salary was higher than the tip, but she was different from the ladies, who sold their bodies and souls.

"There's a difference right? Could it be that you won't be able to see the guest bring you out?" "As far as I know, as long as the price of that nightclub is high enough, the waiters can bring the same."

Shu Zimo hated her height.

"It's someone else, not me. Mr. Shu, you didn't come here to discuss this, right? What is it? Just say it, I still need to go back and cook dinner for the children."

Outside the house, Xiao Jie said rudely.

She hated the rich, especially the one surnamed Shu.

"I didn't come here for this matter, but I coincidentally bumped into you. So, hehe, Miss He, are you planning on keeping those children?"

"Don't you think you care too much about it, Mr Shu?"

Xiao Jie cast a sidelong glance at Shu Zimo, this man was too evil, and he obviously had ill intentions. She initially didn't want to be associated with him, she originally wanted to bury those grudges.

However, if he kept pestering her, if he came knocking on her door, she had no reason to give up.

"Alright, let's get to the main point. I just saw that the house you all live in is very dilapidated. Don't tell me that you all didn't think of a bigger house with a better environment?"

Shu Zimo finally got to the point. To be honest, he was a little surprised to meet this woman here.

Although he was furious with her for her cold arrogance from that day, his anger was completely gone when he saw her going through the orphanage alone.

Perhaps it was because he had lived here for three years, or perhaps he knew how bitter it was here.

"You want to buy this place?"

She Xiaojie understood immediately. So this was his original intention, the nature of an evil merchant.

"It's not me, it's the Shu family. But I will give them a reasonable price. After all, I've lived here for three years. If possible, I can choose a suitable place for them."

Shu Zimo added, looking at the cold and mocking face.

He did not want her to feel sad, and even more so, he did not want her to be looked down upon and mocked by him.

"Sure, but I don't want money. I want a place where we can all live in peace."

He Xiaojie's straightforwardness made Shu Zimo not dare to believe his words. He agreed so easily, so quickly that he had no idea what to say.

"What, is Young Master Shu not satisfied?"

Seeing that Shu Zimo did not respond, Xiao Jie sneered sarcastically.

"No, your answer is too surprising. I thought …"

"Did you think I would take the opportunity to strike a blow?"

Xiao Jie sneered. Even though she hated Shu, she would never go against them in this matter. If she wanted revenge, she had to make sure that he would never have a chance to fight back.

"No, in short … "Come on, I'll buy you a drink."

Shu Zimo felt a little embarrassed. All these years, he had never been so cowardly.

"No need. Young Master Shu, find a good place and come find me again. If you think it's suitable, we'll move as soon as possible."

Xiao Jie rejected him decisively. There was still a long way to go, so she had to make a good plan.

After returning to the company, Shu Zimo felt much better.

That woman called He Xiaojie seemed to be easier to communicate with than she had imagined, only … He suddenly thought of Manager He's words. He seemed to have said that She Xiaojie left the nightclub due to physical reasons. Could that woman have contracted some sort of illness?

The more he thought about it, the more Shu Zimo became suspicious, especially the expression on Manager He's face.

He picked up the phone and called someone else for the first time.

"I'm Shu Zimo. Manager He, what did you say about that woman yesterday?"

"This, Director Shu, it's not that I don't want to say it, but there are rules in every industry. Furthermore, she's no longer a member of our nightclub, I really can't say it."

On the other side, Prime Minister He pushed left and right, refusing to speak.

Shu Zimo hung up the phone with a "pu pu" sound. If he didn't say anything, he would ask the woman.

In order to find an excuse to see She Xiaojie, Shu Zimo began searching the next day for a suitable house. With so many of them, if there were too few houses, they would definitely not be able to live in it.

However, if he was to look for someone in the city and it was too expensive, he would lose a lot of face in the suburbs.

Almost a week had passed, and Old Man Shu had come again to urge him on. Only then did Shu Zimo find an ideal place to stay.

Shu Zimo checked the place first before driving to find He Xiaojie. The two locations were not far from each other, about 20 minutes away.

"Mr Shu, you are here. Please take a seat. Xiao Jie has gone out and may be late."

When they arrived at the small courtyard, the middle-aged woman said the same words again. Shu Zimo was a little disappointed, full of excitement. Why was she not here yet?

"Big sister, do you have a phone number for little Jie? I'll go straight to her. "

Shu Zimo didn't want to wait any longer, so he asked the middle-aged woman for her number.

It was only then that he realized how stupid he was. He didn't know how to get Xiao Jie to leave him a call that day.

"Yes, yes. Wait a moment."

As the middle-aged woman spoke, she ran into the room and took out a small notebook.

Shu Zimo immediately pulled out the phone, but it was turned off.

He was a bit depressed. He did not want to wait, yet he did not want to give up just like that.

The phone screen was still turned off. He sat in the car and didn't want to move at all. He kept holding the phone and repeatedly dialed. After 20 minutes, the call finally connected.

"She Xiaojie, what are you doing? I've been on the phone for half an hour already, what are you doing?"

Shu Zimo roared angrily after the call.

"Director Shu, what's the matter?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was still neither cold nor hot, making people even angrier.

"Where are you now? I'll show you the house. "

Shu Zimo was so angry that he wanted to smash the phone. From the beginning, it was her indifferent attitude that made him angry.

"I'm in the hospital. You'd better come another day."

The other end of the phone clearly paused for a moment, as if he had heard Shu Zimo's angry voice.

"Which hospital? I'll pick you up."

Shu Zimo was slightly surprised, his tone softening a little.

He Xiaojie seemed to be hesitating. Shu Zimo roared a few more times before she said it out loud.

He stepped hard on the accelerator and was taken a few times by the camera. Finally, he arrived at the hospital that He Xiaojie mentioned.

"Woman, which floor are you on?"

This time, Shu Zimo no longer called He Xiaojie, but instead used the word 'woman' instead.

"No need, wait for me downstairs. I'm almost done."

She Xiaojie seemed to be panicking, as if she was afraid of something.

"Then hurry up. If you don't show up in ten minutes, I'll go broadcast and shout."

Shu Zimo threatened.

"Alright, I'll get the medicine."

He Xiaojie hung up the phone in a hurry.

Shu Zimo hated the smell of the hospital. It might have something to do with his childhood memories. After he hung up, he sat in the car.

About 15 minutes later, He Xiaojie came out of the clinic building nervously.

"Woman, over here, why are you running?"

Seeing He Xiaojie almost fall, Shu Zimo rolled down the window and got angry.

"Ten minutes have already passed, I'm afraid you …"

"Idiot, get in the car."

Shu Zimo pushed open the car door and softly cursed.

"I'm sorry, I'm already running very fast. Have you found a house yet? "Where is it?"

She Xiaojie was still gasping for breath on the train. It was such a hot day, but her face was pale. She really looked like a sick person.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Why is your face as white as a ghost's in such a hot day?"

Shu Zimo growled uncomfortably.

"Nothing, I'm just a bit uncomfortable."

Xiao Jie hugged the bag tighter, as if she was afraid Shu Zimo would peek.

"Woman, last time Manager He at the nightclub said that you were fired due to an illness. What kind of illness is it? It won't have anything to do with you coming to the hospital today, will it? "

Shu Zimo said uncomfortably. If he wasn't driving, he might really rob his.

"Director Shu, you're no longer a child. Can you not be so curious about us? Don't you think that asking too many questions is asking too much?"

Xiao Jie seemed to be annoyed with him, but also annoyed with him, and her tone turned cold.

"Tsk, I don't care about your matters. I just want to know if you have the authority to make this land your own."

Shu Zimo said angrily.

"Yes, the real estate certificate is all here. As long as I'm satisfied with the house you're looking for, everything will be yours."

He Xiaojie replied calmly.

It was a piece of land that couldn't grow any yuan, and sooner or later some developers would set their eyes on it. Rather than being forced to sell it, it was better to take the initiative.

"Alright, I've read it, but I need quite a bit of money to buy it. I don't have that much money at the moment, but I can pay five or ten years' rent in advance, and the rest can be discussed slowly. The place is very big, and you can even set up a private kindergarten to cover the basic expenses …"

Shu Zimo said to He Jiexi.

Buying all that floor would cost more than 10 million, so he didn't have that much money to use. Furthermore, their land wasn't even worth that much. Even now, if he were to rent it according to the rent, the rent would be quite a lot over the next ten years.

"You don't have the money to buy it, so why are you showing it to me? Please stop the car, I'm going down. "

Little Jie said with a cold expression.
