When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy
Chapter 60: Betting, rich, inhumane
Chapter 60: Betting, rich, inhumane
Upon hearing that Gu Hua, the owner of the Gu family shop, was still alive, everyone turned their eyes to the three family heads who divided her family's property in front of her, wanting to ask them if they felt embarrassed.
"Heh...heh!" This was the awkward laugh from the head of the Song family.
The thick-skinned head of the Wan family turned his face around and insisted that as long as he was not embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
The head of the Jiang family had a sinister smile in his eyes, and he did not look embarrassed at all, because he was ready to throw out a thick stack of silver bills in his hand to prove that he had enough money on him and it would only take a few minutes to defeat the poor Gu Hua.
"Wait." Gu Hua spoke up to stop the Jiang family's master from his inhumane behavior and said calmly, "It's my shop and I have the final say."
Gu Hua is not stupid.
You can't just fleece a sheep, and you can't just pick on one person to fleece a victim, otherwise he will get angry and get into trouble.
"In Jiangzhou City, no matter whether you win or lose, the number of shops that can bet against each other cannot exceed three."
Hearing Gu Hua say this, the people in the lobby felt that she was guilty.
"Master Gu is still being fair." Master Song turned around and looked at Jiang Kanghui as if he was embarrassed, and said, "Master Jiang, you see, the host family is unwilling to gamble all the shops in Jiangzhou City with one person. This is not because we don't give Master Jiang face."
Jiang Kanghui stared at Gu Hua gloomily, his eyes revealing a murderous look, and his body exuded a fierce and cruel aura. He wanted to use the method of intimidating those wealthy businessmen to intimidate her into submission.
This scene made the Chen father and son and Su Fuying nearby want to stand up and stop it, but they were stopped by the tall and cold Qi Yan who stretched out his long arm.
His tone was calm: "Believe her."
Gu Hua sneered in her heart. She could feel that the head of the Jiang family must be a bloodthirsty person and probably had many deaths on his hands.
However, the bloody aura he exudes is nothing compared to those generals who have been on many battles.
Not to mention, compared with Gu Hua, who was used to seeing the eerie and terrifying zombies gnawing on flesh and blood in the apocalypse, his was nothing.
Gu Hua rolled his eyes and said, "Are you still going to compete? If you keep pretending, it will be dark soon."
Jiang Kanghui was stunned, and his face instantly became darker and gloomy. He didn't understand why the aura that could scare his concubines to tears every time had no effect on the pretty boy in front of him.
Under her own intimidation, she was able to finish a cup of tea handed to her by the man next to her and eat half a handful of melon seeds.
The feeling of being despised to such an extent made the irritable Jiang Kanghui have the urge to kill someone and even wanted to walk away.
But if he lets go of the Gu family's prosperous shop on the main street today, it will be completely eaten up by the other families, and not even a dregs will be left. When the time comes, it will not be so easy for him to get it back from the other families.
"Three is three, but if I win, I want to pick three of the ten shops in Jiangzhou City."
"Yes." Gu Hua had no objection to this, "But first of all, you have to bring more money with you today than I do, otherwise the money that the beautiful lady next to you said about being poor will be left for you to enjoy."
"You..." Jiang Kanghui's beautiful concubine Gao Yulan glared at Gu Hua fiercely: "Don't be so proud. I don't believe you can take much money with you when you go out with someone who can only afford four dishes and one soup."
"I'm waiting to see you crying bitterly after you lose all your money on the shop."
"Oh," Gu Hua said calmly, "Then you wait."
Gao Yulan was so angry at Gu Hua's calm tone that she fell backwards.
In the end, of the ten shops that Gu Hua had in Jiangzhou City, the Jiang family gambled against three, the Wan family gambled against three, and the head of the Song family gambled against three.
There are many people who are thinking about this. Gu Hua's eyes flashed with coldness. The last one jumped the most happily. That day, the two heads of the Wan and Song families came to the Gu family to put pressure on her. "Words are not enough, so write it down as proof."
Gu Hua asked Su Fuying to borrow paper and pen from the shopkeeper of Yuxianglou, and wrote down the contents of their gambling agreement. Everyone signed and put their fingerprints on it.
After receiving the five copies of the no-contract agreement, Gu Hua walked up to the head of the Chen family and said, "Please be a witness."
The head of the Chen family laughed with a round face like Maitreya Buddha. "Since you invited me to drink tea and eat melon seeds, I will be the witness."
Patriarch Chen signed his name on the letter, and then fulfilled his duty as a witness, and asked in a serious manner: "Whoever takes out less money will be the loser, and must pay according to what is written in the bet.
This document is valid even in the government office. If you admit defeat now, I can still talk to Master Gu and ask him to allow you to withdraw."
"Stop talking nonsense, old man Chen." The lickspittle rich businessman from the Song and Wan families could not hide his excitement, and shouted without caring about his status: "I am still waiting to take over the Gu family's shop in Jiangzhou City. Who has the time to listen to your nonsense here?"
"Okay, okay." Patriarch Chen seemed to have a good-tempered face with a smile on his face, but Gu Hua could still hear the sound of him gritting his teeth: "Young Master Gu, teach him a good lesson and teach him how to be a good man."
"Old man, look, okay." Gu Hua smiled, "I guarantee you will be satisfied."
“Hahaha.” Patriarch Chen glanced at the rich businessman with a smile on his face but cold eyes as he said, “Then I’m relieved.”
Gu Hua couldn't be sure whether the old man from the Chen family was really kind, but he could see that the old man was definitely narrow-minded.
"This is a hundred thousand taels of silver."
Jiang Kanghui also wanted to see how Gu Hua, a man who was not intimidated by him, would cry in frustration after losing the ten most valuable shops of the Gu family, so he easily threw out 100,000 taels of silver notes right away.
It can be seen that this was not all the silver and money he had on him.
Gu Hua was also stunned for a moment, pretending to be surprised, and said, "Master Jiang, aren't you afraid of being robbed when you bring so many banknotes with you?"
Many people in the lobby nodded in agreement.
Who would go out with nothing to do and carry so much silver?
If this person was not Jiang Kanghui, the head of the four major families in Jiangzhou City, they would think that this person was crazy.
The faces of the Song family heads and the Wan family heads turned ugly for a moment, because although they had a lot of silver on them, it was definitely not this much.
However, the two of them quickly thought it through. They were not competing with the head of the Jiang family to see who brought out more money. As long as they brought more money than the boy from the Gu family, they would be considered the winner.
The head of the Wan family also casually threw out 50,000 taels of silver from his sleeve pocket.
The head of the Song family was not willing to be outdone and took out 60,000 taels of silver from his pocket and placed it on the empty table.
Someone in the lobby said with envy and jealousy: "As expected of the patriarch of the four major families, he carries so many banknotes when he goes out. It really broadens our horizons for people with a small fortune."
In the end, the bootlicker rich businessman barely took out less than 10,000 taels of silver, and looked at Gu Hua with a smug look on his face. He and the two heads of the family, Song Wan, had the same idea.
Everyone thought that Gu Hua was a poor guy who probably couldn't even afford a hundred taels, otherwise how could he say such a shabby thing as only ordering four dishes and a soup when inviting guests to dinner.
At the end, this person said in a smug manner: "Master Gu, it's your turn now. You can't even come up with a hundred taels of silver, right?"
