Gu Qingshi had a biological mother, but her mother only treated her stepchildren well, like a stepmother to her. She had a fiancé, but he was stolen by her stepsister's schemes. Her stepsister...
Chapter 229: Taking away the innocence of many girls
"Those debt collectors have urged us to pay back the money before. If we don't pay it back, we will take over the house. Qing Shi, we have to find Jim and ask him to pay back the money. Otherwise, the Duan family will be gone. This is the place where the Duan family has lived for generations. It is the root of the Duan family."
The Duan family is there, so at least there is a way out. The Duan family’s roots are also there. Without the roots, it will be really over.
Bai Zhen was crying, and Duan Renjie's face was also pale. For the first time, he looked at Gu Qingshi with pleading eyes, "Qingshi, please help us. You grew up in the Duan family, so you can't bear to see the Duan family become someone else's home, right?"
"I can't bear it." Gu Qingshi said, there is nothing to be unwilling about.
After hearing that the Duan family’s house had been mortgaged, Gu Qingshi finally understood where Duan Renjie and his family had spent the money they had squandered before, on dining, buying new clothes, and getting engaged.
Bai Zhen and Duan Renjie choked and just as they were about to curse, they heard Gu Qingshi curiously ask, "Speaking of which, I'm quite confused. How did you get deceived? Didn't I say I would invest in you? Why do you keep spending money?"
Duan Renjie looked unhappy. "He only had foreign currency, which was often difficult to use, so we thought of treating him well."
Gu Qingshi couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You guys believe this kind of reason?"
Duan Renjie was so angry that his face turned red when he saw Gu Qingshi mocking him again and again. "Gu Qingshi, are you going to help us or not? You keep mocking us without giving a clear answer."
"I just said it clearly. I won't help you. You deserve to be deceived. I'm just watching the fun."
Gu Qingshi said that she was just satisfying her curiosity.
The reason why Duan Renjie and others were deceived was that they were too greedy. Jim's method was not very clever. He just took advantage of their desire to get rich without working for something.
But there is no such thing as a free lunch. If you are too greedy, you will be fooled if you are not careful.
After this incident, Gu Qingshi unexpectedly discovered Duan Renjie's advantage - he learns foreign languages very quickly. To be honest, Duan Renjie is actually quite smart. It can be seen from the fact that he has learned a lot of words in such a short period of time and can even have a conversation that with such intelligence, there is nothing he can't accomplish if he uses it in serious work, but he didn't.
Duan Renjie and Bai Zhen were very angry that Gu Qingshi did not help, but there was nothing they could do except curse him. They wanted to find Jem and Juliet no matter what, but they had no money and were worried that the Duan family had been taken away by someone, so they went back in a hurry.
After Duan Renjie and Bai Zhen left, Jim, who Gu Qingshi thought had already run away home, appeared in front of Gu Qingshi again.
It seemed like he was deliberately avoiding Duan Renjie and Bai Zhen, and he couldn't wait to show up as soon as they left.
Compared to before, Jem was more low-key this time. He didn't dare to pretend to be a gentleman and elegant anymore. He didn't say a single word. He apologized politely and spoke Mandarin politely.
"I'm sorry, Qingshi, I lied to you before, but I didn't mean to. I just wanted to work with you to make money, and I was afraid that you would look down on me and I didn't want to cooperate, so I came up with this bad idea."
"Although I cheated someone, I didn't really hurt anyone. I just spent some of Duan Renjie's money. You two don't have a very good relationship, so I am helping you get revenge, right?"
Jem looked at Gu Qingshi flatteringly, and Gu Qingshi frowned, "So what do you want to do here today? You're so brave to show up. Aren't you afraid that I'll call the police to arrest you?"
"No, no, I have no ill intentions. I came to you this time because I still want to cooperate with you, Qing." Looking at Gu Qingshi's cold face, Jem changed his address very tactfully, "Boss Gu, President Gu, I really want to cooperate with you sincerely."
Jem did not give up trying to persuade Gu Qingshi, "Mr. Gu, your products are all good and can definitely go global. Give me a chance and we will definitely win-win. Besides, I really like you. I may have lied to you about my identity, but I am serious about my feelings."
Gu Qingshi frowned, "Li Daqing, please stop disgusting me, okay? Do you have the nerve to say that you are serious about your relationship? What about those little girls you deceived?"
Compared to Jem, Gu Qingshi still prefers his other real name - Li Daqing, which is more comfortable and easier to pronounce than Jem.
When Jim heard the name Li Daqing, he froze. When he heard the following words, his expression changed slightly. "Mr. Gu, did you misunderstand something? I have never lied to anyone."
Although he said he had never lied to anyone, his eyes couldn't help but flicker. He didn't expect that this little secret would be exposed.
Gu Qingshi looked at Jem and snorted, "Can't continue?"
She knew that Jem was not a good person, but she didn't expect him to be so rubbish. Not to mention what happened to him abroad, the evil he committed after returning home started from the moment he returned.
On the road, he began to pretend that he was rich, and started to use sweet words to deceive girls. He kept half-seducing and half-forcing the girls to take away their innocence. He had been in the business for a long time, so it was no problem for him to win over those innocent girls.
This time was not as good as in later generations. His appearance and identity made many girls fantasize that they had met their destined prince and could have a touching transnational love.
Gu Qingshi had lived two lifetimes and had seen through all of Jem's methods, but many girls could not, so they fell in love and were tempted. They were conservative at first, but Jem pretended to be angry and added some verbal provocations, saying things like not to be conservative and how things were abroad. By the time they realized what was going on, their innocence had already been lost.
When Jem succeeded, he would disappear and go on to cheat the next one, or simply cheat several people at once. In this way, he succeeded one after another. After Gu Qingshi returned to Mingchang County, he said that he liked Gu Qingshi and pursued her, but in fact he still did not stop this hunting game.
Jem even boasted to Juliet that there were three thousand beauties in the harem in ancient times, and that his goal in this life was to have three thousand women. Based on his previous progress, he felt that this was entirely possible.
Jem went so far that all the girls he cheated knew they were cheated, but the victims didn't say anything. They didn't even dare to call the police because if such a thing got out, their lives would be ruined. Everyone would sympathize with her, but more would only bring gossip and lifelong pain.
Gu Qingshi hated people like this the most. Seeing that Jem showed no remorse and wanted to continue lying, she didn't say anything, but moved her feet secretly.
Such garbage should be dealt with, otherwise there will be new victims. The best solution is to destroy him.
Jem originally wanted to explain that he and everyone were in true love, but Gu Qingshi said nothing and suddenly kicked Jem, heading straight for the source of the trouble.
Gu Qingshi's movements were extremely fast and without any warning, so Jem was kicked hard.
In an instant, Jem's face was covered with cold sweat, he bent over with his face flushed, and he couldn't utter a word.
