Chapter 59 Gu Hua, I'm Still Alive

Just when Gu Hua was wondering whether he should listen to others' advice, eat his fill, give up on setting the trap today, and try to trick these people who laughed at his grandson another day.

But the enemy was too aggressive and didn't give her any chance to regret.

"Master Chen, you are wrong to do this." Master Song said with a sly look of disapproval in his eyes: "If you let Miss Gu leave now, won't you make her a person who goes back on her word and doesn't keep her promises?"

Gu Hua: “…”Okay, she was put up.

Since someone was so eager to be cheated, how could she not oblige him?

Gu Hua blinked and gave a calm look to the head of the Chen family who was trying to give him a chance to regret.

Master Chen was slightly stunned.

Gu Hua asked the waiter for a pot of fragrant tea and melon seeds and brought them over. How can one enjoy the show without these?

The head of the Chen family suddenly understood what he meant, and quietly retreated to a table nearby, sat down, ate melon seeds, drank tea, and happily prepared to watch the show.

"Pah!" Chen Jingyun's hand that was about to grab some melon seeds was slapped away by his father. "This is what Master Gu ordered for me. If you want to eat it, go ask the waiter for it yourself."

Here, Gu Hua was framed by a group of wealthy businessmen led by the Wan family head and the Song family head. They did not give her a chance to regret and insisted that she use her own shop as a bet for the competition.

Gu Hua is not really an idiot.

So he said to the crowd, "I told you that whoever of you present here can take a deed to the Gu family shop from me.

But the premise is that it can only be the money you bring yourself, and it doesn’t count if someone steals it from you..."

The head of the Wan family said anxiously: "Of course, let's get started."

He had been eyeing the Gu family shop for a long time.

Gu Hua glared at them, raised his head and squinted at them: "Do you think I'm stupid, or are you stupid?"

Patriarch Song: "You want to regret it?!"

The other wealthy businessmen also stared at Gu Hua with displeasure, as if they would bite like dogs if she said anything regretful.

"It's not impossible to go back on your word." Gu Hua said, "If you can't come up with an equal stake, how can you blame others for going back on their word?"

The group of people who originally wanted to get something for nothing and treated Gu Hua as an idiot were left speechless by these words.

There is no equal bet. If someone uses his own shop to play with you, you might think you have met a fool, but it turns out that the other person is not that stupid.

Gu Hua looked at the people who had just forced her not to regret, but now looked at each other in silence, and pretended to be surprised: "No way!"

"You are such a wealthy businessman, you really want to get something for nothing. What's the difference between this and adults bullying children?!"

A group of wealthy businessmen: “…” They felt like they were being scolded.

But when someone says something about you, you can’t say anything back, you can only keep it to yourself!!
"Let's compete to see who has more money." Just as the wealthy businessmen in the lobby were silent, another person walked down from the second floor.

Gu Hua looked sideways, ouch!
…Isn’t the woman following the man the one who just said she was poor?

"Master Jiang." Someone called out the man's identity.

Gu Hua narrowed her eyes. As the man approached, she felt a suffocating blood-sucking feeling that she hadn't felt in a long time. "I'm only talking about the people in the lobby. Who knows if you've been on the second floor for so long and whether someone took the opportunity to go out and get the money back for you."

The head of the Wan family and others, who were originally a little hesitant, heard Gu Hua say these words that were obviously lacking in confidence and guilt, and remembered that the Gu family was now so poor that they had to buy second-hand items to keep up appearances.

What happened today was sudden, and she definitely didn't have much money on her.

With the idea that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb, the head of the Wan family shook off his fat flesh, hardened his heart, and said, "I am willing to bet with you ten shops, because you have less money than I do. If you lose, you have to give me the deeds of the ten prosperous shops in Jiangzhou City."

Gu Hua hasn't said anything yet.

The head of the Song family was not happy.

"Wan Jingui, you want to take over the ten prosperous shops of the Gu family in Jiangzhou City by yourself. Aren't you afraid that you will have a poor appetite and die of overeating?"

In the face of interests, any relationship will break down. Even if two people are about to become in-laws, they will have to fall out.

Yes, the fact that Wan Yanhao can play with the second son of the Song family, and the head of the Song family can bring people together with the head of the Wan family to force the Gu family to abdicate, means that the two families are interested in a marriage alliance.

"Song Qinggao, I must take over the Gu family's shop."

The Wan family has been at the bottom of the industrial rankings among the four major families for a long time. The pie is so small, and if a piece is occupied, there will be one less piece.

Now that the Gu family, a useless piece of shit, has finally been eliminated, everyone wants to take a bite of the Gu family's pie to add to their own family's assets. The reason why the head of the Wan family is so eager to merge the Gu family's assets is that he wants to improve his own ranking among the four major families.

"It seems that you two do not take my Jiang family seriously. I heard that the court will soon open up overseas trade. Have you heard about this?"

Any businessman with a little bit of common sense knows that by trading overseas, the goods brought back can bring ten or even dozens of times the profit. If the imperial court really allows trading overseas, who wouldn't want to get a piece of the pie?

Officials and businessmen have always been separate, but most of the people they deal with are local officials seeking protection, and the information they can get is limited.

But the Jiang family is different. There is another reason why they can become the head of the four major families in Jiangzhou. That is that the Jiang family once sent a beautiful daughter to be a concubine of a duke in the capital.

This woman was favored by her husband because of her stunning appearance, and the Jiang family also benefited from this. The information that they could not get, the Jiang family could get with the help of that person.

For businessmen, sometimes being well-informed is also a business opportunity.

Jiang Kanghui's sinister eyes swept across the people in the lobby, clearly trying to intimidate them not to compete with him.

Gu Hua saw that except for those who had no intention of participating in the robbery of the Gu family's shop, such as the Chen father and son who were watching the show, most of the other people who had intentions also retreated under the intimidation of the head of the Jiang family.

The heads of the Wan and Song families also wanted to know the news that the court would allow more overseas trade, but that was all in the future. In business, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies.

They didn't want to give up the fat meat in front of them, but they also didn't want to completely anger the Jiang family's famously vicious and cruel head.

Wan Jingui admitted his mistake: "The Gu family's store in Jiangzhou City will be given to the head of the Jiang family, and the Gu family's businesses in other counties..."

Jiang Kanghui waved his hand, clearly meaning that he was not interested in those shops.

Yes, the value of the shop itself does not mean much to them. The most valuable things of the Gu family are the ten shops on the main streets of Jiangzhou City, which are locations that are difficult to buy even if you have money.

"Am I dead?" Gu Hua: "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to divide my inheritance in front of a living person like me?"
