Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Chapter 2473

Qin Huairu didn't want to bear the blame for He Yushui's death, and felt that if he confessed, he would never have another chance to win back Shazhu.

She still held the belief that as long as I didn't admit my mistake, I wasn't the one who made the mistake.

Little did she know that the more she did this, the more Sha Zhu would hate her.

Regarding He Yushui's death, Sha Zhu claimed to hate Qin Huairu, but in reality, he hated himself the most.

It was his own bastardhood that caused He Yushui's death.

If he had shown even a little more concern for He Yushui, he would have known about her situation and wouldn't have left her without money for medical treatment.

Sha Zhu was filled with guilt, but Qin Huairu argued back, trying to provoke him.

He really couldn't understand when the kind-hearted Sister Qin from back then had become like this.

Sha Zhu silently went back into the house.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Xu Damao with some confusion: "What's wrong with him?"

Xu Damao glanced at Qin Huairu and shook his head.

For years, Qin Huairu's tactics have never changed.

When they do something wrong, they always find all sorts of excuses to justify themselves.

It worked before because Yi Zhonghai was there to back her up.

Since no one could afford to offend Yi Zhonghai, they could only pretend to be ignorant.

Even though Yi Zhonghai is dead, they're still using these tricks; they're clearly trying to make everyone look like fools.

Xu Damao was more than happy for Qin Huairu's family to suffer misfortune, and he would never tell Qin Huairu where the problem lay.

"You feel bad for the rain, huh? What brings you two here?"

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile, "We heard that some of the Jiefang people have moved back, so we came to take a look."

"Then let's go inside," Xu Damao said to Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng led Yu Li and the others into the main room. The room was quite clean.

These are Liu Guangtian's wives who came to help tidy up.

Yan Jiecheng, unaware of this, asked in surprise, "When did Qin Huairu manage to clean Sha Zhu's room so thoroughly?"

"This wasn't Qin Huairu's doing," Liu Guangtian quickly explained.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jiecheng laughed and said, "I knew it. Apart from the few years that Sha Zhu and Jia Zhangshi lived in the same room, Qin Huairu never let Sha Zhu live in a clean room."

That's not entirely accurate either.

When Qin Huai helped Sha Zhu tidy up the house, he only cleaned the surface; he didn't bother to clean the parts that weren't visible.

If Shazhu asks, just say it was Banggeng who caused the trouble.

Anyway, Shazhu wouldn't blame her for such a small thing.

They had told Sha Zhu these things so many times that they had no interest in bringing it up again.

Xu Damao asked, "Why don't you two be busy making money, and instead come all the way to see us?"

"No." Yan Jiecheng didn't try to hide anything and told the truth directly.

“Someone sent me a message saying that my two younger brothers have gone back to the courtyard house to take advantage of me again, and that I should keep an eye on them.”

"Who relayed the message to you?" Yan Jiefang asked, somewhat displeased, feeling that the person who relayed the message was meddling in other people's business.

"It's Fu Qiang."

Fu Qiang was their neighbor in the alley, about ten years younger than them, and they didn't usually have much contact.

Yan Jiefang couldn't understand why Fu Qiang, who was perfectly fine, would interfere in the affairs of the courtyard house.

"Him? What does our move back to the courtyard house have to do with him?"

Yan Jiecheng explained, "He and Huaihua's boyfriend, Chen Kai, are friends. What do you think it has to do with him?"

"You mean, the Jia family notified us at this time?" Everyone present noticed this.

“Besides the Jia family, I can’t think of anyone else,” Yan Jiecheng said confidently. “I guess they will also inform Liu Guangqi.”

If you don't believe me, you can call Liu Guangqi and ask him.

Liu Guangtian took out his phone and actually called Liu Guangqi.

When the call connected, Liu Guangqi didn't ask anything and said directly, "We've separated now, so don't bother me if you need anything."

You can live wherever you want; it has nothing to do with me.

Then the call ended.

Liu Guangtian spat and said, "Do you think I want to find you?"

Yan Jiekuang asked with some surprise, "Is this all Liu Guangqi's attitude is towards you? Is he trying to sever all blood ties with you?"

Liu Guangfu said with a disdainful look, "What's so strange about that?"

He was like this when my dad was alive. After he dies, it'll be good enough if he can even answer our calls.

The Yan brothers didn't laugh at the Liu brothers.

Actually, the Liu family and the Yan family were in similar situations. Liu Guangqi simply didn't want to associate with his two younger brothers.

The Yan brothers have met, so they need to be extra careful. If they are even slightly careless, they might be betrayed by their own brothers.

The group tacitly avoided bringing up the topic.

Liu Guangtian sneered, "The Jia family is really daydreaming. They actually want Liu Guangqi to manage us."

Pah!

Yan Jiecheng took the opportunity to inquire about the situation at the courtyard house. He was still somewhat incredulous when he heard that Sha Zhu had really broken off his relationship with Qin Huairu.

Yu Li said, "Since you've broken off your relationship with Qin Huairu, then divorce her."

Don't you feel awkward living together like this?

Yan Jiecheng quickly said, "No. We can't get a divorce. The courtyard house and the Sichuan-style restaurant are both under Qin Huairu's name."

"If Sha Zhu wants a divorce, isn't that just giving everything away to Qin Huairu for nothing?"

Yu Li thought about it and realized it made sense. With so much wealth, they certainly couldn't just let the Jia family have it so easily.

Even though the family fortune wasn't hers, she still felt heartbroken.

"We told you from the beginning that the property couldn't be transferred to Qin Huairu, but Sha Zhu wouldn't listen. Now look what happened."

Yan Jiecheng chimed in, "Exactly. This isn't the steel mill's salary; it's not like Qin Huairu gets paid for it."

This is a traditional courtyard house.

"This courtyard house, if it were sold now, would fetch at least a hundred million."

By the end, Yan Jiecheng's teeth were chattering, and he felt a great deal of regret.

The house had always been registered in his name and had not been sold.

It was after Lou Xiao'e left that Sha Zhu stepped forward to buy the house.

The price offered was high, and he wanted to use the money to open a restaurant, so he agreed.

Who would have thought that the house would be so valuable now? I lost money when I sold it back then.

"Silly Zhu, you've not only screwed yourself over, but you've screwed me over too. The price you paid for the house was far too low."

Sha Zhu said irritably, "Low price? What do you mean? The price I paid for your house back then was over 30% above the market price."

If it weren't for Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu forcing me to buy it, I wouldn't have bothered looking for you.

If you're not happy about it, go ask Qin Huairu for it."

Yan Jiecheng said timidly, "If I wasn't afraid you'd hit me, would I agree to sell?"

"If you're a coward, don't blame others." Sha Zhu isn't going to take the blame for this.

He did step forward at the time, but he was forced into it by Qin Huairu.

If Qin Huairu wanted to acquire all the houses in the courtyard, he approached Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to agree to her request at the time, as he needed to secure his retirement.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to be the bad guy, so he pushed Sha Zhu forward and let Sha Zhu take the lead.

Of course, this matter couldn't be accomplished by Sha Zhu alone.

Yan Jiecheng is Yan Bugui's son. No matter how bad the father-son relationship is, they are still family.

This matter cannot be accomplished without the approval of Uncle Yan Bugui.

It was Yi Zhonghai who approached Yan Bugui and used money to shut him up beforehand, thus removing the obstacle.

Of those present, only Yu Li supported Yan Jiecheng's idea; even Yan Jiefang and the other person did not support Yan Jiecheng.

There's nothing they can do; the money from selling the house back then had nothing to do with them.

They wouldn't risk offending Sha Zhu for Yan Jiecheng's sake.

Since Yan Jiecheng was in the wrong, he had no choice but to admit defeat and stop arguing.

That day, Yan Jiecheng drank some wine in Shazhu's house and then left.

Aside from coming back to visit every few days, I have no intention of moving in. (End of Chapter)
