This person was none other than her biological father, Wu Laosi, who had previously planned to sell her into a brothel.
Wu Laosi looked at Gu Chenxi, who was dressed neatly and cleanly, and his anger was about to burst out.
He thought that he sold Gu Chenxi to someone else to be a slave.
I never imagined that this brat would go off to enjoy a life of luxury.
Not only were her clothes clean and tidy, but she was even wearing a silver hairpin in her hair.
She's not going there to be a servant; she's going there to be a young mistress.
This brat seems to have grown even taller and fatter than before.
She looks much more radiant than when she's at home!
If that brat hadn't pressured Gu Lili to sign the death contract, Wu Laosi, who's short of money now, could have sold her off again.
She was worth five taels a while ago, but now, with her figure, she's probably worth ten taels, and Wan Hua Lou would be willing to pay that much.
But that's wishful thinking!
Once a contract is signed, who would dare to take it?
but......
Even if Gu Chenxi signed a death contract, Wu Laosi felt that he would still find a way to get money from Gu Chenxi.
After all, this brat has his blood flowing through her veins.
This is something no one can erase!
Wu Laosi quietly followed behind Gu Chenxi and the others, wanting to see where they were going.
The group pushed the cart toward Baiweixuan, completely unaware that someone was mingling with the crowd and following them.
When they arrived at the entrance of Baiweixuan, Huang Zhixiong was already waiting there.
Seeing Gu Yun Chu pushing the cart, he quickly got up and jogged over to help.
"Zhixiong, didn't I tell you? It's okay to come later," Gu Yun Chu said to Zhixiong.
Ever since Zhixiong came to help at the restaurant, he has been the first to arrive at the door every day.
Gu Yun Chu had spoken to him many times, but it was still no use. Every day when they came, Huang Zhi Xiong would still wait at the door.
Hearing Gu Yun Chu say this, Huang Zhi Xiong scratched his head sheepishly and said, "Shopkeeper, I just arrived recently."
As he spoke, he prepared to help Gu Yun Chu take the things off the cart.
Suddenly, Huang Zhixiong noticed a sleazy-looking figure not far away, seemingly looking in their direction.
When he turned around, he saw the figure enter a teahouse.
Gu Yun Chu noticed Huang Zhi Xiong's unusual behavior and followed his gaze to look behind him.
But he only caught a glimpse of the corner of Wu Laosi's clothes.
"Zhixiong, what are you looking at?" Gu Yunchu asked curiously.
It seems there's nothing unusual about the crowd behind them.
Huang Zhixiong shook his head and said, "It's nothing, maybe I misjudged him."
Gu Yunchu nodded, and the group began to move things from the cart.
Just as the group finished moving the last bucket, Wu Laosi was kicked out of the teahouse.
"You damn gambler! What are you doing coming in for tea if you have no money!" The waiter cursed as he pushed Wu Laosi out.
Because he hadn't slept all night, Wu Laosi was exhausted and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
When the waiter saw him fall to the ground, he picked up a broom and hit Wu Laosi with it.
"Four gambling addicts! What! You're trying to pin this on us now?"
The waiter continued to hit and curse.
The waiter recognized Wu Laosi because he had recently witnessed Wu Laosi being chased and beaten for owing gambling debts.
After being hit several times with a broom, Wu Laosi finally managed to scramble away and get away.
Seeing that the waiter didn't chase after him, Wu Laosi steadied himself and spat fiercely in the direction of the teahouse.
"Pah! You snobbish bastard! Once I get the money from that brat, I'll make you kneel down and serve me tea!"
Just now, Wu Laosi saw Gu Chenxi walking in front of Gu Yunchu and he recognized Gu Yunchu.
During this time, he also heard that Baiweixuan was opened by the Princess of Yongning County, and that the Princess of Yongning County's younger brother was the manager of the restaurant.
The one who bought Gu Chenxi last time was Princess Yongning.
Seeing that Gu Chenxi and Gu Yunchu were standing quite close together, could it be that the Princess of Yongning County bought Gu Chenxi to be her younger brother's wife?
No wonder that brat even wore a silver hairpin!
Wu Laosi became increasingly furious. He was suffering terribly, while his daughter was enjoying a life of luxury.
He wanted to go in and make a scene, but when he thought that Gu Yun Chu was the younger brother of the Princess of Yongning, he became a little scared.
Since the hard approach doesn't work, let's try the soft approach!
Wu Laosi hid in a corner, thinking about how to get money from Gu Chenxi later, while Baiweixuan was also starting its busy day.
"Chenxi, I haven't seen you in so long!" Huang Zhixiong said to Gu Chenxi with a grin as he deftly prepared the vegetables in his hands.
Huang Zhixiong had been thinking about Gu Chenxi lately, and he never expected that she would actually come to the restaurant today.
He was also very happy.
Gu Chenxi is quick and capable; it's hard not to like her.
Gu Chenxi put the washed vegetables into the winnowing basket and said, "I've been helping out at home lately. Today I came to help out because I have a new recipe to teach Dahua."
Gu Chenxi's words were polite yet distant, which made Huang Zhixiong feel somewhat awkward.
Not knowing what to say for the moment, he focused on washing the vegetables.
Aunt Dazhu was also washing the vegetables. As someone who had been through similar experiences, she clearly understood Huang Zhixiong's meaning.
However, Gu Chenxi clearly had no feelings for Huang Zhixiong.
The three of them were washing vegetables when Tie Dan's mother, who had been helping outside, trotted in.
"Chenxi, your father is here to see you!"
Tie Dan's mother's words caused Gu Chenxi's expression to change drastically. Gu Chenxi had already said that she had nothing to do with him anymore that day, yet he still had the nerve to come here.
Moreover, how did this old man know he was here?!
Gu Chenxi really didn't want to see Wu Laosi, but she was also worried that Wu Laosi would cause trouble and disrupt the restaurant's business.
Gu Chenxi stood up angrily and followed Tie Dan's mother outside.
Seeing that Gu Chenxi's expression was off, Huang Zhixiong hurriedly followed her.
Huang Zhixiong didn't know that Gu Chenxi was bought by Gu Lili, nor did he know about her tragic past; he simply assumed that the two lived on the same estate.
Gu Chenxi went outside and saw Wu Laosi standing at the door, looking around furtively.
Gu Yun Chu must have gone out on business, as she was not at the counter at the moment.
Looking at Wu Laosi's appearance, Gu Chenxi's face immediately showed anger.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Chenxi asked coldly.
Gu Chenxi guessed that Wu Laosi had probably incurred gambling debts again and had come to her to ask for money.
When Wu Laosi saw Gu Chenxi approaching, he pretended to squeeze out a few tears. "Qiuyue, how have you been lately? Your father misses you terribly, so I came to see you."
As Wu Laosi spoke, he also took a close look at Gu Chenxi.
I was too far away just now, so I could only make out that she had a silver hairpin in her hair.
