Chapter Eighty-Eight: Tentative Positions

In the face of rejection, Chen Tian did not give up, and immediately asked.

"Uncle Li, don't be in a hurry to refuse, after all, Ning Xue is also well-intentioned, and this old mansion will return to Jianghai sooner or later, so this is also for Uncle Li's good!"

Hearing this, Uncle Li didn't answer, but looked at him with dissatisfied eyes.

Seeing this, Su Ningxue on the side not only immediately became anxious, but also pulled Chen Tian's hand in private and reminded him in a low voice.

"Chen Tian, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly talk about this? I ...... it."

"I know what you're going to say, and I know what you mean. ”

Chen Tian interrupted Su Ningxue's opening and deliberately misunderstood what she meant: "But Uncle Li is not an outsider, since you have already decided, and you have to say it sooner or later, tell Uncle Li now, so that he can prepare in advance." ”

"I ......"

Su Ningxue subconsciously retorted, but was stopped by Chen Tian with his eyes.

Although she didn't know why Chen Tian suddenly said this, she thought that Chen Tian would definitely not be for no reason, so she forcibly suppressed her doubts.

Seeing this, although Uncle Li was surprised again, because of Su Ningxue's decision, he put away the dissatisfaction just now and asked directly.

"Why was the decision so sudden?"

"Actually, it's not sudden, Ning Xue has been thinking about this matter for a long time. ”

Chen Tian continued to speak, and explained on behalf of Su Ningxue: "Of course, the main reason why she did this is the crisis situation on the Jianghai side, especially the recent funding gap, if it wasn't for a good friend to lend it to her, I'm afraid that the Su Group would go bankrupt, and this place would have already changed hands." ”

Hearing this, Uncle Li continued to be surprised.

Although this situation was unexpected, he still made a decision to understand the meaning of Chen Tian's words.

"If the eldest lady needs the assets of the old house, I can take someone to liquidate it tomorrow. ”

"Uncle Li, I'm ......" Su Ningxue was surprised by Uncle Li's decision, and was about to open her mouth to refute it.

But Chen Tian didn't want to do this, so he interrupted it again.

"Uncle Li doesn't need to worry, in fact, this is just Ning Xue's last resort, if it wasn't at a critical moment, she would definitely not do it. After all, this is her grandfather's former residence, and if she can, she wants to preserve this old mansion forever!"

"The reason why I mentioned this today is actually mainly for Uncle Li's body. ”

"After all, Uncle Li is old, and it must be a little difficult to guard the old mansion alone, so she wants to take this opportunity to take you to Jianghai and then retire for the rest of your life. ”

"Of course, if Uncle Li feels that his body is still strong, or he is reluctant to leave here, Ning Xue will not be reluctant. But for Uncle Li's sake in the future, she may send an assistant to help Uncle Li take care of the old mansion later, I don't know what Uncle Li's opinion is?"

Hearing this, Su Ningxue continued to be surprised, but Uncle Li frowned slightly.

Obviously, he didn't expect this matter to be in such a hurry, which surprised him at the same time, and he couldn't help but make plans.

"If this is the case, then I should be respectful and obey my fate. ”

"After all, I'm also a little tired from guarding the old mansion for so many years, if the eldest lady can send someone over to help, it will naturally be better!"

Faced with the promise, Chen Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why he did this just now was to test Uncle Li's position.

After all, Su Ningxue's grandfather has passed away, and coupled with the previous instructions, this place has already become Uncle Li's world.

Although nominally this is still the Su family's industry, because of Su Demu's previous experience, he decided to help Su Ningxue remove the hidden dangers.

However, Su Ningxue was dissatisfied with Chen Tian's decision, so she immediately spoke up to make amends.

"Uncle Li, I didn't mean that just now, I just wanted to say ......"

"Needless to say, I know what you mean. Uncle Li opened his mouth to interrupt Su Ningxue's words, and then explained: "And I'm old, and it's really a little powerless to take care of this place, so it's reasonable to plan like this." ”

"Uncle Li, I just ......"

Su Ningxue was surprised again, but Uncle Li didn't want to say more, so he waved his hand and stood up.

"Okay, this matter is decided, today you go around the old mansion first, and the rest of the words will be said tomorrow, I'm a little tired, so I'll go to the back to rest first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Su Ningxue to answer, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Su Ningxue was stunned, but Chen Tian didn't care, and then got up.

"Looks like we've got a chance to find something now, what do you suggest?"

Hearing the question, Su Ningxue was surprised, but then asked, "Chen Tian, why did you just take it upon yourself to drive Uncle Li away? Could it be that there is something wrong with him? Or have you found something suspicious?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, let alone suspicious, but I'm thinking about you!"

Chen Tian opened his mouth to answer, and continued to explain: "I know you don't want to embarrass Uncle Li, but you have to be clear, whether your grandfather started from scratch in Jianghai or kept his former residence here, it is for the descendants of your Su family, not for Uncle Li!"

"I know it's hurtful to talk like that just now, but you should know that there are some things that you can't plan ahead, and they will be coveted!"

In other words, if you intervene in this matter, you may still consider Uncle Li's feelings, but if it were someone else, Uncle Li, who is an outsider, may not be treated so well. Of course, these are just my personal opinions, if you think it's inappropriate, you can do what you should do later, and you don't need to consider my opinion at all!"

Chen Tian's words surprised Su Ningxue, especially the final explanation, which made her understand that Chen Tian was wholeheartedly good for her.

And not only that, Chen Tian also considered the risks in advance, which surprised her, and at the same time, she couldn't help but think of something.

"Are you saying that Su Demu has already started to pay attention here? He wants to drive Uncle Li away?"

"I don't know if I can drive Uncle Li away, but I know that Su Demu will not be happy when he comes back this time, which can be seen from the key he took away from the black box!" Chen Tian replied and explained again.

Although Su Ningxue didn't expect it, because the key was taken away, she was still worried.

"If he's already got the key, what's the point of us staying here, and if he has the ability to get the key early, why did he leave us with the black box before, and lead us here?"

Faced with doubts, Chen Tian did not answer immediately, but thought for a moment before explaining.

"What I said just now was just a guess, and it's likely that Su Demu didn't expect to get the key so easily, maybe he would have regretted giving us the black box by now. ”

"As to why he led us here, I think he must have had some other purpose than the key. As for this purpose, I guess it should be related to Uncle Li, if Uncle Li is allowed to leave early, maybe he can save his life in the future!"
