Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

midnight.

When Cao Yue heard that Jia Zhang had Alzheimer's disease, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He was 100% sure that Jia Zhang was not sick at all.

I didn't expect this farce to end like this!

Huaihua said with a sad face: "What should we do in the future? Grandma has become like that. The doctor said that she will need someone to take care of her in the future."

After saying this, he glanced at Cao Yue expectantly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

When Cao Yue heard this, he knew that Huaihua wanted him to help.

It seems that I have come here too often these days, causing the girl to become spoiled.

This problem must be corrected.

Starting tomorrow, ignore her for a few days and let her fully realize her mistake.

Huaihua saw that Cao Yue’s face had turned cold and she didn’t dare to say anything more. She looked at Cao Yue pitifully.

Seeing that Cao Yue still didn't speak, she quickly snuggled into his arms and acted coquettishly.

Afterwards, Cao Yue did not show warmth and tenderness as before. He put on his clothes and left indifferently.

The aggrieved locust flowers were left sobbing quietly.

……

The next day.

Cao Yue asked Ning Wei and Ma Dong to meet at a restaurant.

The three of them asked for a private room. After they sat down, Cao Yue looked at Ning Wei and Ma Dong and said with a smile:

"How do you feel after coming back these few days?"

Ma Dong raised his left hand and shook it, revealing the gold watch on his wrist, and laughed:

"Brother, once I flash this big gold watch, just like you said, I will have priority mate rights over all the beautiful women around my house!"

"Now, the threshold of the house is almost broken."

Cao Yue laughed and scolded: "Boy, is it as exaggerated as you say?"

"It's even more exaggerated than what I said. I haven't even started bragging yet, but my neighbors are already saying that I made hundreds of thousands of dollars in half a year. Now I can't even go home. My house is full of people who want to borrow money!"

"I didn't know my family had so many relatives and friends!"

"There was a family in the yard next door who even left their 18-year-old daughter at my house, saying she would help my mother with laundry and cooking."

"You said that if I stayed at home, I would be blamed for the rest of my life if I couldn't help myself!"

Ma Dong said distressedly.

"People offer it to your door and you're still rejecting it?" Cao Yue teased.

"Bah! That family is just snobby. Besides, it's not that the girl isn't pretty enough, it's that I have higher standards now!"

Ma Dong's trip to Hong Kong Island broadened his horizons, so naturally he became picky.

Cao Yue shook his head, looked at Ning Wei and asked, "Ning Wei, how are you?"

Ning Wei said with a bitter face: "Master, I...I..."

"What's wrong with you?" Cao Yue asked curiously.

"Pfft~"

Ma Dong laughed out loud, gloating: "Brother, Ning Wei is even worse off than me."

"After returning to Sijiu City, this kid invited his former childhood friend to dinner. After the meal, he borrowed out all the more than 20,000 yuan you gave him."

"This isn't over yet!"

"Some people continued to borrow money from him afterwards. Ning Wei couldn't save face, so he had no choice but to sell all his gold watches."

Cao Yue was speechless after hearing this.

In his previous life, Ning Wei was defeated by his friend, and he couldn't escape it in this life.

Ning Wei explained in a low voice: "Everyone is having a hard time, I will help as much as I can."

"Bullshit! Who is going to have an easy life now?"

Ma Dong complained, "Real friends won't force you to sell your gold watch!"

"They have the nerve to do that. They just take advantage of you because you are too honest and trust others easily."

"I don't think you'll ever get back the money you lent out in this lifetime!"

Ning Wei shook his head and said, "I don't want to come back either."

Ma Dong was speechless and gave a thumbs up: "You are amazing, you are loyal, I admire you!"

"In that case, I am also your friend. Instead of letting others benefit from it, it is better to let me benefit from it."

"Brother, you don't have to give the money to Ning Wei from now on, just give it to me directly."

Cao Yue said seriously: "Ning Wei, it is normal for friends to help each other."

"But you have to distinguish which friends you can hang out with and which friends you have to stay away from."

"You should understand the principle that a little kindness can lead to a lot of hatred!"

"If you lend money out without hesitation, people won't be grateful to you, and will only call you stupid behind your back."

Ning Wei sighed and said helplessly: "Master, I understand this principle, but...but they asked me how much money I earn, I can't lie to them, right?"

Cao Yue thought about it and said, "You should set a goal for yourself first, to earn one million yuan a year!"

"Master, how can I earn so much money?" Ning Wei laughed.

Let alone one million, there are very few people who can afford ten thousand yuan.

"It's to let you set a goal that you can't achieve!"

"For example, if I pay you 5,000 yuan a month now, that's 60,000 yuan a year."

"So if you calculate it this way, you won't earn one million, but you will lose a full nine hundred and forty thousand!"

"Ah? There is such an algorithm?" Not only Ning Wei was confused, but Ma Dong also widened his eyes.

"If someone asks you to borrow money in the future, just say that you lost hundreds of thousands in your business." Cao Yue said slowly.

"This is a good idea." Ma Dong's eyes lit up.

Seeing that Ning Wei was still hesitant, Cao Yue used his trump card.

"Ning Wei, do you want your mother to live in a big villa?"

"Of course I did." Ning Wei looked determined.

He had seen Cao Yue’s big villa in Hong Kong Island, and when he returned to Beijing, Cao Yue took him to visit the newly purchased manor.

Ning Wei secretly swore at that time that he must work hard and let his mother live in a big villa and enjoy a good life in the future.

"If you want to, do as I say."

"I understand, Master." Ning Wei made up his mind.

A biological mother naturally carries much more weight than a friend!

"Okay, I called you here today to tell you something." Cao Yue started talking about business.

"After the Chinese New Year, you started buying up the courtyard house where I used to live."

"Ning Wei, you have never been to the Siheyuan, and the residents have never seen you. You should come forward to negotiate."

Cao Yue knew clearly that if those beasts knew that he was the one buying their houses, they would definitely raise the price.

"Master, why did you buy those dilapidated houses?" Ning Wei asked in confusion.

The courtyard houses in the old city are not valuable now, especially those large courtyards with too many residents.

Going to the toilet and taking a bath in winter are bothersome.

Only people like Cao Yue who have the means would spend their own money to dig pipes and install toilets.

"That's right, if you have money, you might as well buy a villa." Ma Dong also has aversion to the siheyuan courtyard.

Especially after using a modern toilet, going to a public toilet is simply mental torture.

"What do you know? I grew up there and have a special feeling for Courtyard No. 95." Cao Yue still said the same thing.

"Don't delay, just do it!"

"Okay, leave it to us." Ma Dong and Ning Wei agreed.

……

After staying in Beijing for two days, Cao Yue flew back to Hong Kong Island.

When he saw Zhou Xiaobai, he told her directly what Zhou Zhennan said.

"It turns out that dad already knew about it." Zhou Xiaobai felt even more sad and felt sorry for his parents.

He knew the truth but still played along with her. He must have been more tormented than she was.

"During the Chinese New Year this year, why don't we take Xiaoyi to visit Uncle Zhou and Aunt Chen?" Cao Yue asked.

Zhou Xiaobai hesitated, "Let's talk about it after the New Year..."

"Dad, Daddy."

Feifei ran over quickly holding her brother, and Cao Yue and Zhou Xiaobai were so scared that they quickly caught him.

"Fei Fei, didn't I tell you not to run around when you're holding your brother?" Cao Yue was helpless.

Feifei was scolded and immediately said aggrievedly: "I miss you!"

"It's okay, it's okay. Feifei is very capable. Thanks to her for helping to take care of her brother." Zhou Xiaobai saw that Feifei was about to cry, and hurried to coax her.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Feifei showed a smug expression on her face.

"Dad, my brother likes me the most and kisses me often."

Feifei took credit for it, and then she hugged Xiaoyi in her arms again and said, "Good brother, come and kiss your sister."

Xiaoyi obviously didn't want her sister to hold her. She struggled desperately but was held tightly. She could only open her toothless mouth angrily and bite Feifei's face while yelling "Ahhh".

"Dad, look, look, my brother kissed me again!" Feifei shouted.

Cao Yue blinked and couldn't help but remind her: "Fei Fei, Xiao Yi seems to be biting you..."

"Who said that? My brother loves me the most. If he bites me, why don't I feel any pain at all?" Feifei argued.

"Because he has no teeth..."

Before Cao Yue finished speaking, Feifei interrupted sadly, "Dad, are you saying that my brother hates Feifei?"

Feifei looked as if she would cry in front of Cao Yue if he dared to nod.

Cao Yue looked helplessly at Zhou Xiaobai, who was equally helpless.

It was obvious that the little girl treated her brother as a toy.
