The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 378: Chapter 378: This House Cannot Be Sold! _1

Seeing them about to take away all of Grandfather’s beloved belongings, Hai Xiaotang angrily stepped forward to stop them.

“Don’t touch anything. You’re not allowed to take this, you can’t touch anything! All of you, get out! Nobody can touch my grandfather’s things!”

A worker reluctantly said, “Miss, you should step aside. You’re not the one in charge here.”

“Who says I can’t be in charge? These are all my grandfather’s things, all of you get away…” As Hai Xiaotang was about to shoo them away, Hai Rong suddenly scolded her sharply.

“Hai Xiaotang, what are you doing?! Get out of the way immediately, are you going to interfere with your uncle’s work too?”

Hai Xiaotang turned to him, “Uncle, I’m not trying to stop you, but you can’t sell grandfather’s house. Grandfather is going to come back, if you sell it, how are you going to explain it to him then?”

“This is none of your business, get out of my way!” Hai Rong pulled her aside and lectured, “You’re already married, stop meddling in family affairs. I’m the one in charge of this house now, whatever I say goes!”

“But you’re about to sell the house that grandfather put all his heart into! Grandfather said, as long as he’s alive, we can’t sell this house!”

“You think I want to sell it! But if we don’t sell the house, your grandfather is going to die!” Hai Rong suddenly blurted out.

Hai Xiaotang was shocked and didn’t understand what he meant, “Uncle, what do you mean by that?”

Hai Rong sighed and explained, “Your grandfather is missing, we need money to look for him, right? Your auntie and I have already spent all our savings, selling the old house is the only way we can afford to keep the search for him going! If we don’t find him soon, who knows what danger he might encounter out there? I’m selling the house all for his sake!”

Hai Xiaotang: “…”

Seeing her uncle acting like he was doing everything for grandfather’s good, she was so angry that she was left speechless.

Because she simply didn’t believe him!

Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but say, “Uncle, you flippantly claimed that you have spent money to look for grandfather, but it’s really the police who are doing the searching, you understand?”

“What do you know?!” Hai Rong sternly scolded her, “There are many places where money needs to be spent behind the scenes. As a young girl, you don’t understand anything, and you don’t appreciate our hard work. Okay, I don’t want to explain anymore to you, we have to sell this house regardless, unless you don’t want to find your grandfather!”

That’s when Hai Xiaotang really understood, he was just looking for excuses to sell the house.

For Grandfather, she could definitely not…

“Uncle, no matter what, this house cannot be sold! I do not agree to you selling it!” Hai Xiaotang said very firmly.

“Oh, on what grounds do you disagree?” Suddenly, Zhan Yu walked in, she had heard their conversation.

Coming up to Hai Xiaotang, she said coldly, “Xiaotang, tell me, on what grounds do you disagree to sell it?”

“This is grandfather’s house!”

“Is the house important, or is your grandfather’s safety important? We are selling it to get him back.” Zhan Yu questioned her, “Don’t you wish for your grandfather to return home sooner?”

Hai Xiaotang didn’t feel like wasting her breath arguing with them anymore.

She indifferently asked, “Well, tell me, how much money do you need to find Grandfather?”

Can she pay for it?

As if knowing her thoughts, Zhan Yu laughed.

“I’ll be straight with you. Finding your grandfather is going to cost a lot of money! Even if we sell this house for 5 million, we still might not be able to find your grandfather.”

“5 million is not enough?!” Hai Xiaotang widened her eyes, as if she had heard a fairy tale.
