Chapter 178: This Is a Scam
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The Gu house was actually so big and imposing?
Qin Wenzheng could not link the green brick house in front of him to the Gu family. Didn’t they say that Gu Yundong’s family had fled from elsewhere? Didn’t they say that her father had still gone missing?
Moreover, when Gu Yundong had chatted with him previously, she had clearly acted as if she was very short of money, and needed white sugar business.
This was a scam, a scam!!
Her house was even better than his. Looking at the stone road at the door, the neat flowerbeds around, and the brand new bricks, it was even more luxurious than the landlord’s house!!
When Gu Yundong came out, she saw Madam Ge carrying her daughter down from the carriage.
She quickly stepped forward with a smile. “Mrs. Qin, you’re here. Come in and sit.”
Madam Ge greeted her and led her daughter into the house.
However, after taking a few steps, she realized that Qin Wenzheng was still standing at the same spot. She could not help but turn around to look.
At this moment, Qin Wenzheng looked at Gu Yundong angrily and sneered. “Miss Gu’s house is really unexpected.”
When Madam Ge heard this, she looked over and her eyes lit up.
Of course, she had seen green brick houses before. She had even seen more exquisite carvings. However, the house in front of her gave off a very different feeling. It was a little different, but it gave people a warm and comfortable feeling.
Gu Yundong instantly understood that Qin Wenzheng was angry out of humiliation. Seeing how sarcastic he was, she immediately sighed. “That’s not right. This house of mine has cost me all my savings. Now that I’m penniless, I can’t even gather enough money to send my brother to school, so I have to work hard to earn money.”
Gu Yunshu hurriedly said, “I’m not going to school. You don’t have to work too hard. You’ll be tired.”
“No!” Qin Wenzheng was the first to object.
She then turned to look at Gu Yundong, who shrugged. “Let’s talk inside.”
The group of people entered the house and Gu Yundong poured them some sugar water.
It was made with white sugar. Compared to brown sugar, it was as if nothing was added. The water was still transparent and clear. It looked very refreshing, but it tasted sweet in his mouth.
Madam Ge let out a comfortable breath and looked at her daughter. She saw that she had already gulped it all down and handed the empty cup to Qin Wenzheng for him to pour another cup.
Previously, Qin Wenzheng had sent all the white sugar to the capital. He did not leave any for himself, so seriously speaking, this was the first time he had drunk such sugar water. He could not help but nod to himself. It was indeed not bad.
After drinking the sugar water, Qin Wenzheng saw the siblings standing quietly beside Gu Yundong, as if they wanted to embolden her. He could not help but smile. “Yunshu, we have something to say to your elder sister. Can you take our Ning’er out for a walk?”
Qin Anning listened eagerly and excitedly.
Her mother had said that she had to be reserved, quiet, and polite when she was a guest at someone else’s house, so she had been restraining herself from being too perky, even though she had wanted to talk to Yunshu and Yunke for a long time.
Gu Yunshu looked up at his eldest sister, who nodded. He came over and said to Qin Anning, “Let’s go. You have to follow us closely. Otherwise, you’ll be taken away by the tiger on the mountain.”
Qin Anning immediately became agitated. “Are there tigers on the mountain? Have you seen them before? Can you take me there? My family had two roe deers last time, but they were already dead. I…”
“Cough, cough.” Madam Ge could not help but hold her forehead..
