I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Chapter 179 Intervene

In the end, Xu Shu couldn't help but interrupt Jing Yang's story and talked about his plan to convert this gambling house into a mahjong hall.

Jing Yang was a little disappointed, but he quickly got into the mood, took out an account book from behind the counter, and handed it to Xu Shu: "Mr. Xu, you can take a look. This is our account book for this year."

Xu Shu opened the thin account book, turned three pages, and the rest was blank.

He raised an eyebrow: "If I remember correctly, it's already October this year."

Jing Yang smiled and nodded: "Yes, our gambling house has only had five visitors this year."

Xu Shu sighed, finally understanding why Jiang Yu was willing to give this place to him.

The gambling house is not making money now, and it is unlikely to make money in the future, so it is better to transfer it to him. No matter what he plans to do with this place in the future, Jiang Yu will get 20% of the profits.

What a good calculation! You really have a good calculation.

No wonder he signed the contract without hesitation.

Xu Shu was so angry that he laughed. After coming to the ancient times for so long, this was the first time he suffered a loss in business.

Seeing him laughing for no apparent reason, Jing Yang asked cautiously, "Mr. Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Shu came back to his senses and looked at him: "You admire Jiang Yu so much, you must be unwilling to work under me."

Jing Yang's expression froze for a moment, and then he said, "To be honest, yes."

Xu Shu patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll give you a chance. Go back to Jiang's house now and tell Jiang Yu that I have a big deal to discuss with him."

"If you can convince him, I will let you be the head of the mahjong hall, specializing in connecting with the Jiang family's business."

"Then you can meet Master Jiang whenever you want, and he might even invite you to dinner."

Jingyang's eyes lit up obviously. He nodded quickly and asked Xu Shu: "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? Tell me."

Xu Shu briefly explained his plan, which was nothing more than letting Jiang Yu invest in building a mahjong hall, using the mahjong hall's business to impact the gambling business, cutting off the gambling capital chain so that he could take advantage of the situation and take back all the gambling houses.

Xu Shu had been planning this plan for a long time. With his marketing skills, he was fully confident that he could catch other gambling houses off guard by just playing mahjong.

But Jingyang frowned after hearing this and asked in confusion: "Mr. Xu, are you not coming to town these days?"

He lowered his voice and said, “In fact, those gambling houses have long been in decline.”

"Why is that?" Xu Shu really didn't know, but he had only not been to town for three or four days.

"I heard that there is a young man named Li who has been frequenting various gambling houses recently and has won a lot of the gambling houses' cash by himself."

"This young man is also a man of courage. Even though he won so much money, he didn't care at all. He was so arrogant that he bet all of it. The whole town was in an uproar that day."

"Everyone said that if he could win this round, all the gambling houses in town would have to close down."

"What's the result?" Xu Shu became a little nervous after hearing this.

Jingyang smiled awkwardly: "Lost."

Xu Shu was about to sigh, but Jing Yang said, "But he ran away with the money."

"Run away?" Xu Shu suddenly realized and instantly understood why Mr. Wei was so angry that day. It turned out that he really had no money left.

"So..." Jing Yang smiled a little embarrassedly, "Are you really going to cooperate with our Mr. Jiang?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that Mr. Li must have a close relationship with you."

Xu Shu glanced at Jing Yang with a little surprise: "You are so considerate of me."

Jing Yang took a step back and bowed to Xu Shu: "Master Xu, I am working under you now. It is not advisable to be indecisive."

"You are a smart man." Xu Shu patted him on the shoulder again and started to arrange the decoration of the gambling house.

After finishing the instructions, Xu Shu hurried towards Wu Yong, but happened to run into Xiao Ran's carriage parked in front of the door of Muyi Building.

Xiao Ran got off the carriage with a bad look on his face. When he saw Xu Shu, he forced a smile and said, "Brother Xu."

Xu Shu hummed and walked towards him. Passing by the carriage, he vaguely heard suppressed crying coming from the car. He looked at Xiao Ran in confusion, but didn't say anything.

Xiao Ran simply lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

When Xu Shu saw Qin Lianxi sitting naked in the sedan, he turned his head away immediately.

At this moment, Qin Lianxi's eyes were red, her hair was messy, her body was covered with ambiguous red marks, and there was even blood between her legs.

When he noticed that the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, he just looked up coldly, with no intention of hiding anything.

But when she realized the person was Xu Shu, Qin Lianxi still screamed hoarsely and picked up a cushion beside her to cover her body.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but sneer. He asked Xu Shu: "Brother Xu, please tell him in person, do you want him or not?"

Xu Shu cursed his nerves in his heart, ignored Xiao Ran's question, and turned away.

Xiao Ran had no intention of stopping him. Xu Shu only heard Qin Lianxi's crying, which soon turned into painful groans.

Really crazy.

Xu Shu had no intention of looking for Wu Yong to ask about Li Ziguang. He just wanted to go home immediately to see his lovely little Mu Jin and clear his eyes.

The mental state of ancient people is really hard to describe in words.

……

As soon as Xu Shu returned home, he saw Mu Jinghua waiting for him at the door. He didn't know how the little guy knew he would come back at this time.

But he didn't want to ask, he just wanted to hug him.

Mu Jinghua enthusiastically put her arms around his neck and smiled sweetly at him.

But when he carried Mu Jinghua back to their yard and wanted to spend some time with Mu Jinghua in the rocking chair like he did last night, he heard a dull cough coming from the yard.

Xu Shu paused, confused for a second, then looked at Mu Jinghua, who was still lying limply on his chest, and asked uncertainly: "Xiao Mujin, were you the one coughing just now?"

Mu Jinghua looked up at him, shook his head in confusion at first, then suddenly realized something, pushed Xu Shu, and signaled Xu Shu to put him down.

Xu Shu refused and just asked, "Is there anyone else in our courtyard?"

Mu Jinghua nodded at him and drew circles on his chest with her fingers: "Will you be angry if I let Du Wanbai move in?"

"Of course." Xu Shu frowned and lowered his voice, "If he moves in, how can I kiss you?"

Mu Jinghua poked him aggrievedly: "But you only know how to kiss my forehead, so what does it matter if there is someone there or not?"

"Kissing the forehead isn't a kiss?" Xu Shu hugged him tightly, "Then let me put it another way. If he moves in, how will you kiss me?"

"Then I won't kiss you." Mu Jinghua turned his face away, revealing his red ears.

"That won't work." Xu Shu insisted, "I'll arrange for him to stay with Qi Huairen. It's close, and Qi Huairen can take care of him."
