Chapter 554 I've heard it all

Bai Xiaofeng felt that she didn't quite understand.

Why would my son suddenly go and look for someone called Yu Mingzhu?

Bai Xiaofeng looked at her son blankly, then looked at Xing Xing blankly.

Seeing that both of them were smiling, Bai Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment and then felt relieved.

Never mind, as long as the kids know what they are doing!

It's Gui Ge'er...

Bai Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at Gui Ge'er with a critical eye of a mother. Seeing Gui Ge'er sitting with his legs crossed and eating lazily, Bai Xiaofeng's eyebrows skipped a beat and she said angrily, "Yu Yonggui! You don't know how to sit properly! Who told you to put your feet on your stool while eating?"

Gui Ge'er was almost begging for mercy: "My dear mother, I can only rest for a short while. Please stop picking on me and let me finish this meal properly, okay?"

Bai Xiaofeng said angrily: "You can't be so sloppy--"

The mother and son were still arguing. Xingxing curled her lips and glanced casually at the half-open window. As a result, she saw Gong Qingniang striding over with an angry look on her face. Behind her was Yu Yongbai, who was tied behind his back with a frown on his face.

The distance between the two people was always about three or five steps.

I think Yu Yongbai was afraid that something might happen to Gong Qingniang out of anger, so he followed her closely.

Xing Xing quickly leaned over the window, her upper body leaning out, and waved to Gong Qingniang and Yu Yongbai, shouting, "Sister Gong, Second Brother!"

The people in the house were stunned for a moment, and the two people outside who were called were also stunned for a moment.

When Gong Qingniang and Yu Yongbai sat in the room, Bai Xiaofeng couldn't suppress her excitement and secretly looked at Gong Qingniang.

My goodness, this won’t be their nephew’s wife in the future, right?

The little girl is very pretty!

It's just that he's obviously a little uncomfortable.

Bai Xiaofeng couldn't bear the excitement of gossip, so she looked at Gong Qingniang and then at Yu Yongbai.

Even someone as outspoken as Gong Qingniang blushed and became timid.

Yu Yongbai also showed a rare bit of embarrassment.

Bai Xiaofeng smiled even more and stood up directly: "I suddenly remembered something. I forgot to buy something. Gui Ge'er, can you accompany me to buy it?"

Gui Ge'er was also a smart guy. He sighed, wiped his mouth quickly, and stood up: "That's great, mother. Don't you think my clothes are torn? It's a good opportunity for you to buy me two more sets of clothes."

The mother and son went out together affectionately. Before leaving, Bai Xiaofeng considerately closed the door of the private room for them personally.

Now only Yu Yongbai, Gong Qingniang and Xingxing were left in the room.

Xing Xing sat next to Gong Qing Niang and held her hand: "Sister Gong, I saw you were angry just now, but how did my second brother make you angry?"

Gong Qingniang glanced at Yu Yongbai subconsciously, a hint of bitterness flashed across her eyes, and she turned away again: "It has nothing to do with your second brother."

"That……"

Xing Xing looked at Gong Qingniang with some confusion.

Gong Qingniang clenched her fists and smiled bitterly: "Xingxing, you are not an outsider... I will tell you directly that my family has already accepted the betrothal gift from an old widower and is planning to marry me off next month."

Xing Xing took a breath of cool air.

Of course, she had heard Gong Qingniang say before that the Gong family had always been somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that Gong Qingniang was in control of the family shop, but Yu Yongbai and Gong Qingniang had already expressed their feelings to each other. The man was in love and the woman was willing, so Yu Yongbai would naturally help Gong Qingniang to fight for the empire that Gong Qingniang had built with her own hands.

The actual control of the Gong family's shop was slowly transferred to Yu Yongbai's hands. The Gong family was desperate and directly relied on their status as elders to promise Gong Qingniang to the old widower who had beaten to death three of his wives.

No wonder Gong Qingniang was so angry.

Xing Xing frowned and looked at Yu Yongbai again: "Second brother, didn't you go to propose marriage?"

Gong Qingniang's brows furrowed even more as she sneered, "It was me who didn't let your second brother go. The Gong family is crazy. If your second brother dares to come and propose marriage, I will flay him like a ghost!"

Yu Yongbai also frowned and continued, "Then I can't just watch you being pushed to that half-human old widower by your family!"

Yu Yongbai was a little excited, "What are you worried about? If they dare to take my wealth, they must be able to protect it!"

Gong Qingniang's eyes were red, but she started to quarrel with Yu Yongbai: "My family is already miserable enough! Why do I have to bring you into the mix?"

There is a lot of dejection in his words.

Xing Xing looked at this and that, pursed her face, and said in a somewhat weak tone: "...Well, Sister Gong, let me say something unpleasant. The Gong family has suddenly become desperate. Something must have happened, right? How about we check it out?"

Gong Qingniang and Yu Yongbai were both stunned.

Both of them were too emotional to think about it.

After Xingxing's reminder, the two of them calmed down a little and remembered some unusual clues.

Gong Qingniang's face changed slightly. She couldn't sit still any longer. She stood up by the edge of the table and said, "...I remember now! Recently, my second and third uncles have gone to the shop many times to get silver. They often asked for hundreds of taels, but they were all taken back by the shop assistants."

Yu Yongbai narrowed his eyes and had a rough idea in his mind: "Generally speaking, if there are frequent money shortages in the short term, it is basically due to gambling."

Bet!

Yu Yongbai had a direction for his investigation, and he stood up: "I have good relationships with the owners of several major casinos in Beijing. I will go and ask them."

Gong Qingniang's eyes were determined: "Then I will go back home and find some opportunities to inquire."

Gong Qingniang pursed her lips and looked at Yu Yongbai, and said softly: "...Boss Yu, you won't look down on me because of the dirty things in my family, right?"

Yu Yongbai stepped forward and held Gong Qingniang in his arms: "Boss Gong, is that the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

The two looked at each other, with affection floating in the corners of their eyes and eyebrows.

Fortunately, Gong Qingniang still had some sense and remembered that she and Xingxing were still together -

Xing Xing turned her back and covered her eyes: "It's okay, it's okay, I suddenly became blind and deaf, I can't see anything, I can't hear anything!"

Gong Qingniang and Yu Yongbai couldn't help but chuckle, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed.

The two found the direction and were very motivated.

Xingxing sent the two of them downstairs. Xingxing and Gong Qingniang walked in front, while Yu Yongbai stayed behind. This way they could avoid suspicion and avoid being gossiped about.

Just as I arrived at the door of the teahouse, I met an unexpected person - Zhou Yunyi.

When Zhou Yunyi saw Gong Qingniang, he was stunned.

He looked between Xing Xing and Gong Qing Niang, and then said, "What a coincidence."

Gong Qingniang looked at Zhou Yunyi indifferently, sneered, ignored him, and was about to leave.

However, Zhou Yunyi stood in front of Gong Qingniang with a complicated look in his eyes: "...I heard everything."

Gong Qingniang thought Zhou Yunyi was quite baffled. She looked up at him and asked, "What?"
