Chapter 138 Two-entry Courtyard
Gu Yanluo was about to open her mouth to praise, but her eyes caught sight of Yuan Xiao. Her pupils widened and she shrieked, "Why are you here!"
Vivian looked at her unhappily, "What are you doing? Don't scare my guests!"
"Guests?!"
"She made this cheongsam for me. My mother decided to choose her fabric for the fashion show!"
Gu Yanluo seemed incredulous, "Fabric?"
She turned to look at Yuan Xiao, "You released Aunt Hua's pigeons, and you are here to speculate? Do you know how much you will embarrass our Gu family by doing this!"
Vivian frowned, "A Luo, do you know her? Whether you know her or not, you shouldn't quarrel in someone else's home. It's really very rude. If you still do this, I can only ask you to leave."
Yuan Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to Gu Yanluo, and said directly to Tony: "For the follow-up matters, you can go to the textile factory to find Cha Zi."
After that, she turned and left.
Gu Yanluo chased after him without saying a word, "Yuan Xiao! Yuan Xiao!
Stop right there!" Yuan Xiao looked impatient and did not stop.
Until Gu Yanluo grabbed her arm and said, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me calling you?" Yuan
Xiao took a step back, shook off her hand, and said coldly, "I thought it was a dog barking!"
Gu Yanluo raised her hand and was about to slap her.
Yuan Xiao quickly took two steps back, and Gu Yanluo missed, staggered, and almost fell.
When she stood up, she looked at Yuan Xiao angrily: "You are too much!"
Yuan Xiao sneered, "What? You are allowed to hit me, but I am not allowed to hide? You should be glad that you are not Gu Lanting's biological sister. If you were his biological sister, I would teach you a lesson on his behalf and teach you how to behave!"
Gu Yanluo's eyes were red, and she said angrily: "I have given you the invitation, why don't you come! Do you know how angry Aunt Hua is today? You really don't know how to behave!"
Yuan Xiao sniffed, felt a little cold, and looked even more impatient.
"Are you all sick in your brains! Who told you that you must agree to invite others? How can you be so shameless!"
Yuan Xiao walked to the car, opened the door and got in.
After waiting for a while, he rolled down the car window: "By the way, don't mess with me next time. Even if you are not Gu Lanting's biological sister, I will still beat you up!"
Yuan Xiao repeatedly told her that she was not Gu Lanting's biological sister, and Gu Yanluo almost vomited blood.
You need to remind everyone in Beijing of something they know!
"Yuan Xiao, you can't leave! Otherwise, I will tell Aunt Hua about your speculation!"
Yuan Xiao raised his eyelids and said sarcastically: "Why do you think I would worry about her knowing?"
What she did was reasonable and legal, why should she worry about being known.
Yuan Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to her and let the driver drive away.
Gu Yanluo didn't care about cultivating a relationship with her fake sister Vivian, and hurried back to Gu's house to complain to Bai Hua.
Bai Hua frowned, "She didn't come to Gu's house for dinner, but went to someone else's house? Did you see her?"
Gu Yanluo looked away guiltily, "I didn't see her. My friend told me that she was selling cloth. Aunt Hua, she is actually speculating, how shameful! She doesn't take our Gu family seriously at all!"
Bai Hua naturally knew that now that the policy has been relaxed, many people have started to become self-employed.
But any decent family would not do business.
Self-employed people are looked down upon.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She is a country girl, uneducated and uneducated, and she is a self-employed person!
The most important thing is that she doesn't know how to behave!
What kind of person did Gu Lanting find as his partner? Is he blind?
Bai Hua felt a pain in her head and felt like she was going to faint from anger.
"Aunt Hua, if you don't do anything, Brother Lan Ting will put the marriage on the agenda!"
Bai Hua said in an annoyed tone: "Why don't I do anything? I want to do something, do you think it will work?"
"Why don't you call Brother Lan Ting back?"
Bai Hua sneered, "Call him back for what? Call him back to quarrel with me?"
It would be the most foolish thing to hurt the relationship between you and your son for the sake of outsiders.
Gu Yanluo pouted, "But what about Professor Wen!"
"It's already this time, and you're still thinking about Professor Wen? You can go to any university with any score you get. If you don't get in, you can repeat your studies. It's not like our Gu family can't afford to support you to study!"
Bai Hua turned the bracelet on his hand, and his mood gradually calmed down. "You guys are having a cocktail party in a few days? Who's hosting it?"
"The Pei family."
"I'm going out for a while, you stay at home for the next few days."
Gu Yanluo looked at Bai Hua's back and stomped her feet.

Not long after the contract with Fiona was finalized, Yuan Xiao received an invitation to the Pei family's cocktail party.
With Pei Yun before, Yuan Xiao didn't have a good impression of people with the surname Pei.
But Chu Jiangping suggested that she go, because Yuan Xiao's store opening in Beijing had to go through the Pei family.
Yuan Xiao accepted it.
Fortunately, Chu Jiangping also received the invitation, and he would bring Wang Yazhi with him.
This way, she would not appear lonely.
The day before the cocktail party, Gu Lanting came to take Yuan Xiao out to see the house.
According to Yuan Xiao's requirements, it was a quadrangle courtyard with two entrances.
The house was quite large, exuding an ancient and elegant atmosphere, and Yuan Xiao fell in love with it at first sight.
The main thing is that the location is also very good. It is only half an hour's bike ride away from the Agricultural University. There are elementary and middle schools nearby, and there is a kindergarten a few hundred meters away.
However, the seller asked for 20,000 yuan, which Yuan Xiao thought was a bit expensive.
Some places need to be repaired, and later on, she will have to spend money on furniture and so on. No matter how rich she is, she can't afford such a big expense.
"Buy it if you like it. Don't I still have money?"
Yuan Xiao pouted, looking confused.
She had never thought of touching Gu Lan's family's money.
"Our old man wants to sell this courtyard house and return to his hometown to retire. Twenty thousand yuan is not expensive! Girl, look at these wooden carvings, no one else can make such exquisite ones!"
Yuan Xiao glanced at him sideways, "If twenty thousand yuan is a reasonable price, you would have sold this courtyard long ago. Forget it, I'll go have a look somewhere else, maybe I can buy two courtyard houses with twenty thousand."
The old man got a little anxious when he heard it, and followed Yuan Xiao out, "Girl, if the price is not right, you can bargain!"
Yuan Xiao kept walking, "Bargain? Will you sell it for ten thousand?"
The old man's face fell, "You don't bargain like this!"
"To tell you the truth, I only have fifteen thousand, no more. If you sell it, I will immediately deposit a deposit and sign the contract." Yuan Xiao said.
The old man did not hesitate for too long, and said in a difficult manner: "Okay, if you can pay today, we will go to transfer the ownership today."
Payment and transfer were done in one go.
From then on, Yuan Xiao was also a person who owned a courtyard house in the capital.
On the way back, Gu Lanting saw Yuan Xiao smiling as if he had picked up the gold, and could not help but wonder: "So happy?"
This house was not picked up for nothing.
Yuan Xiao's eyes were crooked, you certainly don't understand my happiness.
In the future, the price of this courtyard house will rise.
You can't experience that kind of happiness!
Gu Lanting pinched her little hand, "If you like it so much, I have a few courtyard houses, all for you."
Yuan Xiao looked at him strangely, you are a soldier, why do you have so much money!
"Gu Lanting, you are not corrupt, are you?"
Like the ancient times, when the military pay was embezzled.
Gu Lanting smiled helplessly, pinched the flesh on her face and pulled it, "I need it?"
"Then how come you are so rich?"
Gu Lanting held her hand and put it in his pocket, "I do business with a friend."
