Xu Hanxiao continued to smile: “Big brother’s mistakes have caused losses. Should Hanxiao bear the burden?”
Xu Hanyong trembled with anger, pointing outside the door: “Get out!”
Xu Hanxiao suppressed his smile and coldly said: “If big brother is unreasonable, Hanxiao will find a place that is reasonable.” After speaking, he stood up and left.
Xu Hanyong stared at his departing back, his chest heaving violently before calming down. Seeing a shadow moving outside the door, he thought Hanxiao had returned and angrily said: “What are you back for?”
But the person entering was not Hanxiao, but Hanren.
Xu Hanren said in surprise: “Again? Hanren has just arrived at big brother’s place.”
Xu Hanyong took a long breath and said expressionlessly: “Why has Hanren come?” Hanren’s shop had already been taken back by the old man and handed over to him to manage. However, since the deed was still in Hanren’s name, it could not be changed at the government office without Hanren’s consent.
Xu Hanyong thought, could Hanren have heard about the weaving workshop and come to take advantage of the situation, seeking to reclaim the shop?
As expected, Xu Hanren first mentioned the workshop incident: “Big brother, do you remember when Hanren mentioned that the silk fabrics from the workshop had deteriorated?”
Xu Hanyong snorted coldly: “Is Hanren here to mock me?”
Xu Hanren quickly waved his hand: “Hanren does not mean that. Big brother must not misunderstand. Hanren is here to apologize. At that time, Hanren thought big brother deliberately sent inferior silk to Hanren’s shop, so he secretly investigated. He discovered that Zhang, the manager, was secretly selling good silk and buying inferior silk from elsewhere to weave silk, profiting from the difference. However, Hanren had selfish motives at the time. On one hand, the shop had been reclaimed by grandfather, and he felt it was not his concern. He wanted to see big brother’s embarrassment and therefore did not tell big brother about this.”
He spoke while standing up and bowing deeply to Hanyong, apologetically saying: “The current situation is entirely due to Hanren’s selfishness. Hanren has let big brother down.”
