Gu Anran pulled up her mask, met the man's gaze, and asked again, "What would you like to drink?"
The man shook his head: "I don't want anything to drink."
"I just came to see you."
Even with a mask on, Gu Anran's expression clearly turned cold.
Wu An, who was playing on his phone, looked up.
The man opposite continued, "My name is Xie Jiong. Someone introduced you to me."
"They say you're the prettiest girl in our town."
"Actually, I've seen you before. You used to sell seafood snacks at the street corner, right?"
"I only glanced at you from afar and thought you were just so-so."
"But seeing it up close today, it really isn't an exaggeration at all."
"You are indeed the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in town, you look like a movie star."
After saying that, he grinned.
The man next to Xie Jiong nudged him and said in a low voice, "That money wasn't wasted; you made a fortune."
Xie Jiong nodded vigorously.
Gu Anran didn't hear what the man next to her said. She slammed down the cup in her hand and said, "Have you finished watching? If you're done, hurry up and leave!"
Xie Jiong shook his head: "I'm not leaving."
"Since you don't have any business right now, let's have a chat."
Gu Anran: "I have nothing to talk to you about."
Xie Jiong was about to speak when Wu An grabbed him by the collar from behind.
Xie Jiong turned around, glanced at Wu An, and shouted unhappily, "Little brother, what's the meaning of this?"
Wu An pointed to the door: "I don't mean anything else, just one thing: get out of here."
Xie Jiong glared at him: "Who are you?"
Wu An retorted, "You don't know who I am?"
Xie Jiong shook his head.
Wu An frowned, sensing that something was amiss, and asked, "Xie Jiong, right? You just said someone introduced you to someone. Who was it?"
Xie Jiong pointed at Gu Anran and said, "Her uncle also received a referral fee from me."
Wu An and Gu Anran exchanged a glance; this did indeed seem like something Gu Jianfa would do.
Gu Anran wasn't surprised, but she was furious!
Gu Jianfa is really willing to do anything for money, treating her like a commodity to be sold?
Wu An was silent for a moment, then asked, "How can you be so sure that the person you introduced is my fiancée's uncle?"
Xie Jiong asked, "Fiancée...you're engaged?"
Wu An nodded.
Xie Jiong was a little confused. He scratched his head and said after a while, "Then your uncle is really a scoundrel."
“That guy showed me a photo of the two of you together, as well as photos of your household registration book and ID cards.”
"I was worried that the person was a scammer, so I checked repeatedly."
"I didn't expect to get scammed again."
He looked at Wu An and said apologetically, "Dude, it's not my fault."
"It's that guy..."
Wu An nodded and said, "I know."
"I guess I'm just unlucky..." Xie Qiong couldn't help but glance at Gu Anran again, sighed, and started to walk out.
His companion grabbed him and said, "Are you just going to leave like this?"
"You're just going to throw away the money that guy swindled from you?"
"What if they're working together..."
At this moment.
Several more men pushed open the door and walked in. The man with the buzz cut who was at the front said, "Gu Jianfa did it all by himself."
"I've already asked."
"It's been confirmed."
Gu Anran suddenly felt dizzy.
Are there other victims?
Wu An walked behind the bar, put his arm around Gu Anran, and gently rubbed her slender waist with his fingers in a soothing gesture. Gu Anran's tense body gradually softened.
After calming her down for a while, Wu An reached out with his other hand and took the fruit knife that Gu Anran had grabbed.
He had no doubt that if Gu Jianfa were around, Gu Anran would definitely use the fruit knife in her hand to achieve the feat of "white knife in, red knife out".
Of course, he also wished he could kill Gu Jianfa.
Gu Jianfa's death is not a pity.
At this moment, he already had an idea in mind to deal with Gu Jianfa, and his thoughts kept expanding and his plan was constantly being improved.
But dealing with Gu Jianfa should be put off for now; the crew-cut man and his gang are probably up to no good.
Xie Jiong looked at the man with the buzz cut and asked, "Are you a victim too?"
“Yes, they were also swindled out of their referral fees by Gu Jianfa.” The man with the buzz cut pointed to the people around him: “They are all victims too.”
Wow.
Goodness.
A victims' alliance.
Xie Jiong felt like he had found his people and was inexplicably excited. He asked, "So since you already know... you've come here to ask for money?"
The man with the buzz cut nodded again.
Gu Anran took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Go ask Gu Jianfa for this money. I will not pay it back for you."
The man with the buzz cut looked over with hostility and sneered, "You think you can just say you won't pay it back?"
Xie Jiong scratched his head, raised his hand, and said, "Dude, to be fair, I also think we should go to Gu Jianfa to ask for the money."
The man with the buzz cut said, "We want it, he doesn't have any."
Xie Jiong asked curiously, "You definitely won't get it just by asking; you have to fight for it."
The man with the buzz cut said, "That goes without saying, we beat him up by hanging him up."
Others joined in the shouting.
"What the hell? That guy's so poor he even wears tattered underwear."
"Damn it, we beat him up, and he still wants to borrow money from us to buy Yunnan Baiyao."
"He's the one who sent us here to ask for money."
"You must pay back the money today."
The man with the buzz cut pulled up a stool, sat down boldly, pointed at Gu Anran, and said, "If you don't pay back the money, we're not leaving today. When a customer comes in, we'll talk about this and see who makes a bigger fool of themselves."
Gu Anran was trembling with anger.
Wu An told Gu Anran to go to the kitchen, then closed the door, turned to the man with the buzz cut, and said, "Don't rush."
"Gu Jianfa has no money now, but he will have money soon."
"You can wait patiently."
The man with the buzz cut asked, "Why should I believe what you say?"
Wu An laughed: "Even if I lied to you, what did you lose?"
"I'm warning you, don't even think about causing trouble here."
"I don't want to get involved in this mess, but if you cause trouble here, that's a different story."
The man with the buzz cut argued, "You're all family."
Wu An sneered: "Don't try to claim any relatives with us."
"Even if it were my own parents doing something like this, I would never acknowledge them again."
Xie Jiong nodded: "That makes sense."
"Dude, where did you guys hang Gu Jianfa?"
"I want to go and beat someone up to vent my anger."
The man with the buzz cut shook off Xie Jiong's hand that was patting his shoulder and said unhappily, "Who are you?"
"Stop trying to smooth things over here."
"Kid, stop talking nonsense, I just want the money."
Seeing that the conversation was pointless, Wu An didn't bother to say anything more and pointed at the glass door: "You can leave now, I won't bother with you."
"Oh, you even put it on display."
The young man next to the man with the buzz cut had been holding back his anger for a long time. Seeing Wu An's bad attitude, he went up and kicked the bar counter. Once someone did it, the others followed suit and swept the things on the bar counter to the ground.
Wu An glanced around and then looked at the man with the buzz cut: "You're not leaving, are you?"
The man with the buzz cut leaned back, his head against the wall, and looked at Wu An with disdain, saying, "None of us are easily intimidated."
"Stop showing off."
"Go ahead and call in reinforcements if you dare."
Wu An said no more and took out his phone.
Do you know the milk tea shop at the east end of town?
"His name is 'First Encounter'."
"Now there are 1, 2, 3... a total of 6 people looking for trouble."
"Yes, come as soon as possible."
