Quick Wear: The Sickly Boss Is Addicted to Spoiling Me

Chapter 1012 Liyuan Opera Player X Republic of China General 10

The moment Meng Chan saw Shen Xi, she understood what had happened, and she apologized to him with an apologetic look on her face.

"He stole from you, didn't he?"

Meng Chan was very ill, but she still went out to find a job to earn money, but she didn't earn nearly as much as before. She knew that she had let Xiaohu down, so she found out about Xiaohu's theft.

Rather than scolding him, she felt more guilty towards him and resentful towards her damn husband.

"No, ma'am, you're overthinking it. I just saw Xiaohu walking alone in the snow. There's chaos and turmoil outside, and I was a little worried about his safety. So I sent him home."

Xiaohu didn't expect that he would help him lie, but when he saw his mother's relaxed expression, he felt relieved.

Meng Chan looked much more relaxed. She knew that Xiaohu had stolen things before just to give her food, and he stole money to treat his illness.

But after she knew about it, she forced him to return those things. He no longer liked Xiaohu and became like his father.

"Okay...thank you for your hard work."

"No. Madam, the troupe I work for is in need of a waiter to serve tea and water.

I think Xiaohu is quite smart. If you are willing, I can arrange for him to work here."

It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish.

If we give them the money directly, it is another matter whether Meng Chan will accept it or not. Even if she does, how long can this money keep them going?

Duan Gan is a good student. Besides, the opera troupe makes a lot of money now, so it is not difficult to hire one more servant.

It was unknown how long it took before Shen Xi left the yard.

His mind was filled with Meng Chan's expression of gratitude towards him just now.

Although he understood that there were many families like theirs in this troubled time, he could not save everyone. He would just save as many as he could and he would definitely save them if he saw one.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out the door, I saw someone who shouldn't be here.

"Yubai? Why are you here?"

Shen Xi's eyes were full of confusion. Even if he came to find him, he wouldn't come here.

'When did you come here?'

Gu Yubai was still holding the pocket watch that he had accidentally dropped in the car.

He held out his hand and the strap of his pocket watch was wrapped around his index finger, hanging straight down so that he could see what he was holding clearly.

"Your pocket watch fell on my car, and I wanted to bring it back to you. But just after I got off the car, I saw you leaving with that kid.

I've been following you, didn't you notice? "

Shen Xi hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he described stalking in such a refreshing and unconventional way.

"Why did you keep following me when you could have just called me?"

"I don't want to disturb you since you're still talking to that kid."

As he spoke, he put away the pocket watch in his hand and handed it to Shen Xi.

"Didn't you say before that this pocket watch was a relic left by your mother? I was thinking that if I gave it to you tomorrow, you might not be able to sleep well tonight.

So I followed.”

"Thank you."

"There's no need to talk about this between the two of us."

The two of them walked side by side as they talked and left the place.

But the atmosphere in the air was a little too quiet, so Gu Yubai spoke up to break the silence.

He was standing in the yard just now. Shen Xi and the others were talking loudly, and Gu Yubai could hear it clearly.

In addition, he had just followed Shen Xi and the others, so he had more or less some understanding of their families.

The worried look on Shen Xi's face when he just left the house emerged in his mind.

He knew that Shen Xi wanted to help them.

“I think the kid is pretty good, and he’s still young. It’s impossible for him to live and work in a small theater all his life.

How about sending him to school?"

Shen Xi had actually thought about it, but he didn't have much money. Not to mention, most schools nowadays require connections to get into.

So I gave up, but now...

Just because it doesn’t matter to me doesn’t mean that Gu Yubai doesn’t have it.

"But schools nowadays require connections, and I don't have any connections. I don't know how I can get him in."

Shen Xi's tone was sullen and he seemed unhappy. Gu Yubai got anxious and directly held his hand.

"You have me."
