Chapter 464 Gu Qinxiang’s Shameless Family
Lin Lijuan then closed her mouth unwillingly.
After a while of silence, Gu Qingyun said, “Dad, all my friends have cars. Buy me a car
please!”
Although they had been rich for a long time, Gu Qinxiang didn’t buy Gu Qingyun a car yet, because he planned to do that after Gu Qingyun’s graduation. However, Gu Qingyun couldn’t wait that long, because all his friends had cars.
“A car? My company can barely stay afloat right now, and you want me to buy you a car? Are you insane?” Gu Qinxiang got angry and yelled.
“What? The company can barely stay afloat?” They were all shocked.
“I haven’t signed a big contract in a long time, and I have already begun to use my savings to pay the workers’ salaries,” Gu Qinxiang said.
There was a growing number of interior decoration companies, and his company was facing stronger competition in the market. As a result, he was running business that was getting worse and worse. Gu Qinxiang even had to use his own savings to pay his workers’ salaries but it couldn’t last, and he would soon go bankrupt.
“What-what should we do now?” Lin Lijuan asked anxiously.
“Dad, Gu Ning’s so rich now. She can give us dozens of millions of yuan, and our company will be saved,” Gu Xiaoxiao said, and took it for granted that Gu Ning would give them anything
Gu Qinxiang’s company only had twenty million yuan in assets at its peak, but they wanted to ask Gu Ning for dozens of millions of yuan at a time.
“Exactly! You can borrow money from Gu Man!” Lin Lijuan said, but they all knew that it was impossible for them to pay Gu Man back.
“I’ve already spoken to Gu Man today, but she refused to lend me the money!” Gu Qinxiang said angrily.
“What? She refused? How can she be so cold-blooded! You’re her older brother!” Lin Lijuan shouted.
“Indeed! How can she be so cold-blooded!” Gu Xiaoxiao echoed, like they were the victims.
Gu Qingyun didn’t say a word but had the same thought.
Gu Qinxiang’s family was so shameless and selfish and they would never reflect on themselves.
When Gu Qing and Gu Man had been poor in the past, they had never treated them fairly. However, once they needed Gu Qing and Gu Man’s help, they suddenly took it for granted that Gu Qing and Gu Man had to help them.
Gu Qinxiang sighed. “Gu Man refused because I wasn’t willing to lend them money last time when Gu Ning needed a surgery.”
“Isn’t Gu Ning fine now? Since she’s fine, it’s no big deal!” Lin Lijuan said, and didn’t feel guilty at all.
The family was digging their own graves.
Gu Ning arrived at City F at around 5 pm. Once she got off the plane, she sent Leng Shaoting a message and told him that she was safe home.
On the way from the airport to her home, Gu Ning called Gao Yi and asked how everything was going
Luckily, everything was going well. Shenghua Real Estate had been busy recently, so they turned to another construction company for the construction and refurbishment of the hotels and restaurants.
The number of their company’s management was limited, so Gao Yi and Qiao Ya worked as supervisors in two different cities.
Gu Ning again assigned Gao Yi and Qiao Ya a task. She told them to search for talented or skillful people in the cities that they were in, and hire them to work for Gu Ning’s companies.
Gu Ning didn’t want to poach staff from other companies, because it was very likely that those people would leave her companies for the same reason. Therefore, she preferred to train her own people in order to win their loyalty.
When Gu Ning got home, it was almost 6 pm, and the meal was almost ready too. Gu Qing and Jiang Xinyue were also there, while Jiang Xu was absent for a business meal.
When Gu Ning had just been in the living room for a few minutes, she sensed a gaze which was staring at the living room from outside. Gu Ning didn’t look around at once, instead she walked to the curtain. She hid herself behind the curtain, and searched for the gaze then.
Gu Ning was very surprised when she found out that it was Tang Yunfan who was staring at her home. Did he find, or remember something?
Obviously, Tang Yunfan kept focusing on Gu Ning’s home for a reason. And Gu Ning guessed that Tang Yunfan must have found out something instead of remembering something. Otherwise, he would directly visit her home, rather than secretly staring at them.
Knowing that it was Tang Yunfan, Gu Ning relaxed. She decided not to reveal that she knew and she would give him a helping hand when it was necessary.
“The meal is ready!” Gu Man said. And they gathered in the dining room.
Tang Yunfan had no idea that Gu Ning had already discovered him. He still stood by the window looking at the living room. However, they all went to the dining room and there was nobody left in the living room.
Tang Yunfan had visited many places and met many people these days, but he still failed to remember anything, which was torture for him.
At this time, Tang Yunfan’s phone rang. The caller was Tang Haifeng. Tang Yunfan answered it at once. “Father.”
“Are you still on the business trip? Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Will you be coming back?” Tang Haifeng asked. He didn’t know that Tang Yunfan was in City F now, because Tang Yunfan’s secretary told him that Tang Yunfan was on a business trip.
“Don’t wait for me. I’ll come home if I can make it,” Tang Yunfan said. He was confused about whether he should leave City F or not.
“Fine,” Tang Haifeng said.
During the meal, Gu Man and Gu Qing kept persuading Gu Ning to eat more.
“Teenagers at your age are enjoying themselves all day, but you’re busy running your business. Look at you! You’ve lost a lot of weight.” Gu Man almost cried when she saw that her daughter worked so hard to provide them a good life.
“Exactly! We are already living a good life now, so you can relax too. We understand that you have your plans and ambitions, and we won’t stop you, but you have to take good care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your health, alright?” Gu Qing said. She also cared about Gu Ning a lot.
