Gu Ming's face turned pale.
When I went to the auction house today, I originally planned to dress up nicely and change my image in Li Xiujun's eyes.
When I heard that the person who was commissioned to sell tea cups had come, I didn't even change my clothes, thinking that I could just come out and get some money. Who would have thought that I would be taken to this hellish place by being forced to do so?
If he had known that he would be severely exploited because of this outfit, he would definitely have covered himself with a ripped sack.
Unfortunately, everything is just if.
Gu Ming put on a flattering smile: "Brother, if you don't believe me, I can swear that three hundred thousand is really too much. Can you give me a little less, just a little bit, otherwise you might as well kill me."
He is very concerned about his reputation and would never borrow money from those bad friends.
The two brothers in the family usually don’t have time to compete with each other openly or secretly, so it’s impossible to tell them about this.
The only way is to find an excuse to ask my parents for some money, and then sell some things to scrape together some money, which can be over 200,000 yuan.
Unexpectedly, he gave in so quickly. The thug snapped his fingernails and said, "Two hundred and eighty thousand, no less."
"OK!"
Gu Ming dusted off his clothes and was about to leave when the knife suddenly crossed his neck: "Wait, who told you to leave when you haven't even paid me yet?"
He was completely dumbfounded. Did he have to pay the 280,000 yuan now?
There was only about 300 yuan left in his wallet, unless he dug out his kidney on the spot and sold it to a black-hearted hospital.
"I can't come up with that much money right now. Can you please delay for a few more days? If that doesn't work, I can write you an IOU!"
The gangster estimated the feasibility of this statement and raised his eyelids: "Then tell me, how long will it take?"
"Two months? No no no... one and a half months... one month! I can't do anything shorter."
One month was extremely short for him.
There is no guarantee that we can raise 280,000 yuan in such a short time.
He took out a piece of paper and a pen, and fiercely forced him to sign. At the end, he threatened: "Don't try to be clever with me. If you can't pay me when the deadline comes, I will bring people to your house to make trouble."
Gu Ming thought of that scene and nodded repeatedly.
He had only taken half a step when he was stopped again: "Wait, take off the valuable things on you first, and consider it as the profit."
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. He could only take off his shoes, pants and coat in humiliation.
If it wasn't dark and I couldn't see clearly, I would have wanted to run into something and die on the road.
With the few dozen dollars he had left, he bought a short-sleeved shirt and long pants at a roadside stall. Ignoring the owner's strange look, Gu Ming let out a breath and finally straightened his back.
Suddenly, a hesitant voice rang out beside my ear: "Brother Ming, is that you?"
Su Wanru had never expected that she would run into Gu Ming by chance after being driven out by her mother to set up a stall. It just so happened that they hadn't had the chance to meet again since their last meeting.
It is really like searching for something everywhere but finding it is hard to find, but it comes to you without any effort.
Gu Ming saw who it was and quickly lifted his hair, putting on a perfect smile: "It turned out to be Sister Su, why are you here too?"
When he noticed her uneasy movements and small movements to the side, he immediately understood.
"As expected of you, Xiujun's good friend. You're both working part-time to support your studies, right? It's rare to find such independent girls these days. However, I'll have to interrupt your business today. I'll take care of everything here, regardless of the total amount."
If Li Xiujun were here at this moment, she would feel so disgusted that she would want to vomit out the overnight meal.
But in the eyes of Su Wanru, who was just beginning to fall in love, she was like Cinderella in the fairy tale, waiting for the prince to come at midnight.
She lowered her head shyly and counted them in her mind: "Thirty-two in total."
When Gu Ming took out the money, he felt a little painful.
Right now, I was short of money, so I had to split every penny. Thinking that this was also a way to please two women, I felt relieved.
"I'll give you fifty, no need to change. I wonder if you, beautiful lady, have time to give me a chance to take a walk with you sometime soon?"
Su Wanru's heart was pounding. She accepted the money and nodded, "Okay."
…
Li Xiujun had a good dream last night.
I got up at six o'clock and opened the window. From a distance, I saw Gu Ming hunched over with his arms bulging with something unknown.
He looked around vigilantly as he walked.
She feigned surprise and cried out, "Brother Gu Ming, where are you going so early in the morning? Didn't Grandpa Gu tell you to reflect on your mistakes in your room?"
"Oh, I see! You want to sneak out, right? But why would you bring so many things with you? Are you planning to run away from home?"
Gu Ming placed his index finger between his lips and hissed so hard that the skin of his lips was almost worn out, but the other party did not respond.
After Li Xiujun finished speaking, as expected, the powerful voice of Mr. Gu came from the door: "You little bastard, I think you are tired of living. How dare you run away from home!"
"Ah, it's all my fault." Li Xiujun covered her lips pretentiously, her eyes full of apology: "I accidentally lost control of my voice. Brother Gu Ming, you won't blame me, right?"
"It's okay, sister, you didn't mean it. Blame me for not telling you in advance..."
Before she could finish, Mr. Gu pinched her ear and said, "How dare you say that? Xiujun, pay less attention to him, or you'll be led astray."
Gu Ming's head tilted to the side uncontrollably, and the things in his arms fell to the ground in pieces.
What watches, sneakers, necklaces...
He didn't look like a runaway, but more like a thief who had robbed a house and was planning to sell the goods.
Old Master Gu pointed at the things on the ground and laughed out loud: "Are you going to run away from home? You're a grown man, but you don't even know what to bring with you when you run away from home."
If he had not seen with his own eyes the nurse holding the newborn baby in his arms, he would have really doubted whether the blood flowing in this grandson's body was from his old Gu family.
He dragged the man back to the room, cursing.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He even took out the family rules that he rarely used throughout the year and gave him five hard beatings with the stick.
Listening to Gu Ming's pig-slaughtering screams, Li Xiujun ate her breakfast with satisfaction. She had never felt that the food in her mouth was so delicious.
In fact, she could roughly guess the other party's intention. The shop was smashed that day, and the person who came was an unreliable gangster after all. It would be strange if he didn't cheat her out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Gu Ming would definitely be so embarrassed that he would grind his teeth and stuff them in.
During this period, he probably had to run around to raise money, and the best way was to sell or pawn his existing valuables.
In this way, she could take advantage of this opportunity to supervise and disrupt Gu Ming's plan while doing her own things.
