Chapter 461 Even the Rich and Powerful Gossip
After vomiting, Yao Shula felt much better. After drinking half a glass of water, she was full of energy again and spent a long time going over the accounts with Gu Xiaoman.
Both of them were very satisfied after they finished talking.
Whether it's the old shop or the newly opened one, the turnover and profits are very satisfactory to both of them.
With just these two stores, the two of them can achieve financial freedom.
However, Gu Xiaoman still had something on her mind. She was trying to find a good opportunity to tell Yao Shula about Lei Jingwu's injury.
I must speak slowly and deliberately, and downplay the severity of the situation. I should say that Lei Jingwu only suffered minor scratches and that it wasn't a big deal...
But we definitely can't say that right now, because Yao Shula has something to do tonight, she has to go to the Lei family's old house!
But, could someone at the Lei family's old residence already know about Lei Jingwu's injury?
Probably not. Lei Jingwu specifically told his elder brother these things, so he definitely didn't tell the people at the Lei family's old house. If he had told them, Yao Shula Kendi would have already been summoned to the old house by Grandpa Lei.
But... what if!
Gu Xiaoman thought for a moment, then took Yao Shula's hand and whispered some instructions.
"Shura, there will definitely be a lot of people at the Lei family's old house for dinner tonight. If anyone says anything bad, don't take it to heart and ignore them."
If all else fails, come tell me, and my brother and I will get revenge for you.
Seeing Gu Xiaoman's serious expression, Yao Shula seemed to understand something.
It seems Xiaoman is quite worried about me. She knows that Lei Jingwu is away on a business trip and that the Lei family will make things difficult for me!
That's underestimating yourself! You really don't think you're something special!
That's what Yao Shula thought, but she was also grateful for Gu Xiaoman's concern.
She quickly grabbed Gu Xiaoman's hand earnestly and assured her, "Xiaoman, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself. If I can't beat them by myself, I'll ask you for help. You have to help me!"
Gu Xiaoman quickly nodded, indicating that she would definitely be Yao Shula's strong support when Lei Jingwu was not around.
Yao Shula...
Something about what she said seemed off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
And so, Gu Xiaoman watched as Yao Shula left the store and got into a taxi heading towards the Lei family's old house.
Sigh, if even the people at the Lei family's old house don't know, then I'll just have to figure out a way to tell Shura tomorrow! After all, Shura isn't feeling well today, so I'll just have to wait as long as possible!
...
Yao Shula took a taxi to the Lei family's old house.
The Lei family has a family dinner every Saturday. This is a rule set by the old man, and anyone who lives in Shanghai must come.
Let's all chat, discuss things together, and then imagine their bright future.
Although Lei Jingwu is not here, Yao Shula will still come.
After several family gatherings, the Lei family members had become somewhat afraid of Yao Shula.
This Yao Shula is not only as harmless as she seems, nor as gentle as she appears. If she were to speak seriously about something, even the old man would have to say a few words of praise to her.
So when Yao Shula came in, almost everyone of her generation stood up.
"Sister-in-law is here!"
The elders all greeted Yao Shula with smiles.
"Shura, come sit down, aren't you hot!"
"What kind of fruit would you like to eat? I'll have someone cut it for you. What kind of tea would you like to drink?"
"Shura looks better and better! It seems business is booming lately!"
Yao Shula greeted everyone with a smile, and then went to Grandpa Lei's study first.
At this time, the old man is always in his study.
Grandpa Lei knew that if he were in the living room, everyone would feel uncomfortable talking, so he thought it would be better to play chess with Xiao Tiantian in the study and then go out when it was time to eat.
When Yao Shula knocked on the door and went in, the old man had already played a game of chess with Xiao Tiantian.
Xiao Tiantian's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Yao Shula, and he quickly went to pour her some water.
The old man of the Lei family smiled and pointed to the chair opposite him, inviting Yao Shula to sit down and talk.
After chatting for a while, Yao Shula left.
The following time will be the time for Grandpa and Xiaotian to spend alone together. Grandpa will teach Xiaotian many things during this time.
These are things you can't learn in school.
Yao Shula checked the time; it was only a little past five o'clock, and there was still a while before dinner was to start!
Thinking of the people sitting in the living room when she entered, Yao Shula decided to go sit in the living room for a while.
There are a lot of young people at this gathering, so I guess we'll have to set up two tables at home tonight.
They don't come for no reason; they must have come for a reason.
Yao Shula wanted to go and see what was going on, and what was so important that Aunt Lei had told her twice on the phone that she absolutely had to come!
Yao Shula smiled and returned to the living room.
Everyone was praising Lei Jingqiu for being so capable, but now that they saw Yao Shula had arrived, they became even more enthusiastic towards her.
Lei Jingqiu even personally poured water for Yao Shula and handed it to her.
"Sister-in-law, have some water!"
After placing the water glass in Yao Shula's hands, Lei Jingqiu quickly put the fruit plate in front of her.
My sister-in-law has a good eye; she actually discovered my lame but talented horse.
With the support of his sister-in-law and the encouragement of his elder brother, Lei Jingwu's company started to operate quite well.
So far, the operation is going very well, and two deals have already been closed, with very good expected returns.
Yao Shula smiled and thanked Lei Jingwu, then looked at everyone.
"Everyone was having quite a lively conversation just now, what were they talking about!"
"Oh, you're talking about Jingqiu Company! I never expected that something that everyone was so pessimistic about would actually happen, and Jingqiu has become the boss!"
"Shura, you have excellent taste," said Aunt Lei happily.
Yao Shula quickly offered a few words of flattery, "I only contributed a little money; it's mainly because Jingqiu is insightful and has ideas."
Everyone quickly started praising it again.
...
Lei Jingwu, who was thousands of miles away, waited all afternoon for a call from Yao Shula, but she never received a call.
He sensed something was wrong. He knew what kind of person Gu Changqin was. Just based on the ambiguous things he said on the phone, Gu Changqin must be worried sick right now.
He should have called Shura immediately!
If Shura knew I was injured, she would definitely call to ask what happened immediately. Then I could subtly play the victim and apply for some benefits that I couldn't get before...
But now...
His mobile phone didn't ring at all.
Lei Jingwu waited for a while, and he was almost ready to call Yao Shula.
But now is not the time to make a phone call.
Could it be that Gu Changqin hasn't told us yet?
Hmm, that's possible. Maybe Gu Changqin isn't as smart as he used to be; his brain has started to deteriorate. Sigh, no wonder he can't find a wife. He's so stupid, how could he possibly find one!
Lei Jingwu silently expressed his utter contempt for Gu Changqin once again.
