Chapter 1756 Sick Beauty 46

The reason why Su Batian was able to live a good life in the past was simply because Su Yan's mother was in charge of the business, and he just acted as a hands-off boss.

After Su Yan's mother passed away, although the shop owners made some small moves, they were afraid of the power of Feilong Villa and did not dare to be greedy for too much money, so the financial gains over the years still allowed Su Batian to live a rich life.

This time, Su Yan sold all his shops, not even leaving a piece of land.

After Su Batian mortgaged his ancestral home in Feilong Villa, he did not use the money to reopen a shop, nor did he even buy two pieces of land.

He spent all his money every day, and after half a year, most of the 30,000 taels had been spent.

Now that he was being harassed for debt repayment, he started to panic again.

As a killer, Meixiang can do nothing but kill people, so naturally she has never thought about doing business.

Now that creditors are constantly chasing him for debts, Su Batian can no longer save face or dignity.

Su Batian and his disciples all hated Su Yan for absconding with the money, saying he was so heartless.

But they didn't think about the fact that this was originally supported by Su Yan's mother with her dowry, and it was good enough that she didn't take away the deed to Feilong Villa.

Every day someone comes to collect debts and says unpleasant things.

What a dignified martial arts family, yet they refuse to pay a debt of tens of thousands of taels. If this gets out, the whole world will laugh at them.

In order to save face, Su Batian had no choice but to mortgage half of Feilong Villa to the bank, leaving only the house in the backyard to live in.

He had already sent his disciples out to gain experience, and they were looking for Su Yan to reduce the burden.

But he was used to spending lavishly, so no matter how frugal he was, the things he used were still more expensive than those used by ordinary people.

His quality of life continued to decline. He cursed Su Yan for being ruthless and ungrateful every day. He dreamed of finding Su Yan and wanted to strangle her to death.

Su Yan took the money and traveled around, checking in everywhere. His days were free and comfortable.

A year later, Su Batian was left with only an old housekeeper and Meixiang. Even Li Musheng had returned to Wanjianmen. He didn't dare to stay in Feilong Villa anymore, for fear that he would have to borrow money if he stayed one more day. Almost all of his private money over the years had been borrowed out.

He made an excuse that something happened at Wanjianmen and went back. He only exchanged letters with Meixiang every month to ease his longing for her.

When other sects learned about Su Batian's experience, they also sighed. At this time, some sects extended a helping hand to him, but they just hoped that he would take a look at the Su family's "Ba Dao" sword manual.

Of course Su Batian disagreed. This was the Su family's heirloom sword technique and it must not be passed on to anyone except the Su family.

Meixiang recognized her father, but her life was not as good as she had imagined.

I originally thought that as long as she had family, nothing else would matter to her.

But she gradually discovered that she was not satisfied. She even resented Su Yan more than Su Batian. Why did she want to take away everything?

If time could go back, she would definitely kill Su Yan in advance and never let her have the chance to take away everything from Feilong Villa.

As the weather changed, Su Batian caught a cold again. He coughed every day and couldn't stop taking medicine.

The old housekeeper has poor eyesight, so only Meixiang takes on the task of taking care of Su Batian.

I made medicine for him every day, and the money I spent on the medicine was spent like water.

The gorgeous clothes and jewelry that Su Batian had bought for her before were also slowly pawned.

Su Batian had a good foundation and recovered after being sick for half a month.

Meixiang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but from then on, it seemed as if all living expenses were tacitly agreed to be paid for by her.

Su Batian treated her very well, but every time he needed money, he would just look at her with embarrassment and curse Su Yan.

"It's all Su Yan's fault. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have such a hard time. Dad will find a way and will definitely let you live a good life."

He always said this, but what could he do? Half of the huge villa was mortgaged by him. Two years ago, he started to open a shop, but opening a shop always had only one ending, which was to lose money and go bankrupt.

In order to allow him to open a shop, Meixiang had pawned all of her jewelry, and her previous savings were almost gone.

His disciples couldn't find Su Yan in these years, and knowing that the villa had no money, they had left on their own accord. They said they were going out to explore the world, but in fact they were going out to find another way out and didn't want to waste time in Feilong Villa anymore.

Only Su Zhang remained with Su Batian, but apart from martial arts, he knew nothing about business.

None of the three of them together has a business mind.

Every time his business suffered a setback, Su Zhang always thought of the eldest lady. Why could the eldest lady handle it with ease while they achieved nothing?

It would be nice if the young lady were here.
