Chapter 61 Gu Hua's Bet, It All Depends on Fate
Chapter 61 Gu Hua's Bet, It All Depends on Fate
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Gu Hua.
Except for the worry in Su Fuying and the Chen father and son's eyes, Qi Yan still had a blank expression, a cold and angular face.
The rest of the people around were either watching the fun or mocking Gu Hua for being stupid, foolish and a spendthrift.
Seeing that Gu Hua didn't move for a long time, everyone started to discuss, "You didn't really go out with much money, and now seeing others taking out so much money, you're so scared that you don't even have the courage to take it out, right?"
Someone continued, "I heard that after the Gu family emptied the house, they had so much trouble that they had to secretly buy second-hand items to use at home."
"Really!"
"That's right." Another smart gossiper said, "I live on the street where the Gu Mansion is. Although they bought second-hand goods behind people's backs, many people still saw it."
An older merchant nearby sighed or mocked, "Young people are just ignorant of life and death. They have no money but dare to bet with others to see who has more money on them."
It was in this situation where he was being ridiculed, looked down upon and talked about that Gu Hua pretended to reach into his sleeve pocket, but in fact he took out 10,000 taels of silver notes from the space.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, he threw it on the table where there was less than 10,000 taels of silver placed by the tyrant rich businessman.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?!" The lickspittle rich businessman widened his eyes in disbelief, "How can a person who can only order four dishes and a soup when entertaining guests come up with so much money?"
Gu Hua watched the rich businessman's face change from his previous smugness to a dull look when he saw her take out a 10,000 tael silver note. He turned to Su Fuying beside him and said calmly, "Go down and hand over the shop you won from the bet to this boss. Don't forget to go to the government office to revise the shop deed."
Su Fuying was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Yes, young master."
The rich businessman's eyes went dark and he fell to the ground, opening his mouth but unable to speak.
He had signed the gambling agreement himself, with so many people in the lobby of Yuxiang Tower witnessing it. If he dared to cheat and go back on his word now, he would no longer be able to live in Jiangzhou City.
Chen Jingyun came back to his senses and looked seriously at Gu Hua, the young master of the Gu family. She looked calm and composed at this moment. There was no trace of the stupid look on her face when she came in earlier and her face turned red due to being mocked for being poor and stingy.
Seeing Gu Hua's clear and intelligent eyes, and her calm and steady expression, as if everything in front of her was under her control, the head of the Chen family knew that some people were lured into a trap by her stupidity.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes. If the head of the Chen family, who is ranked second among the four major families, can see the abnormality, how could the other three heads of the family not feel it at all?
So when Gu Hua walked towards the table where the Song and Wan family heads had placed their silver bills, the two who had originally thought they would win hurriedly took out a few silver bills and cash from various places on their possessions and threw them onto the table.
"We just don't believe that you, a loser who has almost ruined his family, can come up with more money than we have on us."
Not to mention the two family heads who thought so, even many people in the lobby also thought that apart from the four major family heads, who else in Jiangzhou City would go out with tens of thousands of taels of silver notes.
As everyone was looking on expectantly, Gu Hua did something that made them laugh and cry.
"What is she doing?"
"It seems like he is counting the silver on the table."
The Song family head's mouth twitched, "No need to count, I should have 68,500 taels of silver here."
He knew exactly how much money he had on him.
Gu Hua turned to look at the head of the Wan family, asking if she knew how much money was on the table. If she didn't know, she could help count it. "Hmph, you don't have to count mine either." The head of the Wan family still didn't think that Gu Hua could come up with so much money, and said contemptuously, "Ugly people are more likely to do bad things."
"You useless jerk, if you agree to sell all the remaining shops of Gu Hua to my Wan family at a low price," Wan Yanhao said confidently, "I will persuade my father to buy the three shops that he lost to him in the bet today."
Gu Hua: "Thank you."
“You’re welcome.” Wan Yanhao thought that Gu Hua finally recognized the reality, and held his head high: “Forget it, you lost to the six shops of Patriarch Jiang and Patriarch Song.
The other Gu family shops cannot be sold at the five hundred taels of silver my father and his men said that day. To punish you for throwing them out that day, we will sell them at three hundred taels each."
"Young Master Wan is so generous that he spent such a high price to buy my shop. How can I feel embarrassed?" Gu Hua curled his lips and smiled slightly. He didn't even want to hide the sarcasm in his eyes.
"This young master... Ouch!" Wan Yanhao covered the back of his head and looked at the person who hit him with fierce eyes.
When he found out it was his father, the head of the Wan family, he immediately said aggrievedly: "Dad, why did you hit me?"
"Get out of the way." The head of the Wan family said with gritted teeth.
They glared at their son with disappointment. It was one thing for them to privately put pressure on their son to buy out the Gu family's shop at a very low price.
But these things must never be discussed openly.
Didn't he realize that when he said he would buy the Gu family's shop at such a low price, the way people around him looked at him and his son changed?
The head of the Wan family is not an old fox who has been in the business world for many years. He immediately changed the subject and drew the attention of the people around him.
"I have 53,420 taels of silver here. If you can come up with 53,400 taels of silver, I will consider you the winner."
It can also be considered as a way to improve his image by saying that his son had just put forward such harsh conditions to buy someone else's shop.
Gu Hua smiled and didn't say no. He looked at the Wan family father and son with an ambiguous look and cupped his hands, "Thank you very much for letting me."
Then he slowly reached into his sleeve pocket, took out a handful of silver bills, and walked over to hand them to the witness, the head of the Chen family.
Seeing that Gu Hua could take out so many banknotes, not only did the face of the head of the Wan family become very ugly, even Jiang Kanghui and the head of the Song family frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
However, they had already signed the gambling agreement, and with so many witnesses in the lobby, it was impossible for them to go back on their word given their identities and status.
"Isn't it said that the Gu family is about to go bankrupt? How can she still come up with so many banknotes?" Gu Hua's actions completely confused the onlookers.
Gu Hua: "There are too many banknotes this time, I can't count them at a glance. Please count them to see if there are more than the money that Master Wan put on the table."
"No trouble." The head of the Chen family took the thick stack of silver bills, paused, and then began to count them without changing his expression.
When the father and son of the Wan family saw Gu Hua holding out so many banknotes, they also walked closer and stared at the banknotes in the hands of the head of the Chen family and began to count them together, "One thousand taels... two thousand... ten thousand... fifty thousand... fifty-three thousand four hundred taels.
Everyone saw that the two of them took out the same amount of banknotes, so who would win or lose...
