Gu Jingyan was feeling annoyed.
A family was approaching, and upon seeing Qin Tao, they finally spoke without flattery—
"Oh my, Second Sister-in-law, you’re dressed so young, like a little girl. If people didn’t know better, they’d think Second Brother took a young wife!"
The third family, led by Gu Pingzhi with Sun Jiao, ca without Gu Pinting. Instead, it was Sun Jiao’s niece, Sun Yunyun, who tagged along.
In front of so many noblewon, Qin Tao, who wasn’t much of a talker, didn’t want to argue with Sun Jiao, but those words were indeed unpleasant, making her face turn sowhat red.
Gu Jingyan, who always hated it when people flattered his mom by saying she looked like his sister, heard this and his face darkened: "Do you even know how to speak? Young and beautiful ans a young wife? Then, since you’re from the third family, should you be called a mistress?"
Though he didn’t like being called siblings with his mom, in crucial monts, Gu Jingyan was very protective.
Just like when he was infuriated by Zuzi’s astonishing remarks, he would still defend this sister of his in front of outsiders.
Sun Jiao was choked up and awkwardly said, "Qin Tao, how do you raise your son, talking to elders like this?"
Qin Tao took a deep breath, finally organizing her words to respond coolly: "My son doesn’t need your teaching. If you want respect, you should act like an elder. Starting off by talking about young wives, and you expect others to respect you?"
"You!" Sun Jiao looked at Qin Tao, whose figure had improved, enhancing her aura, and boosting her confidence. Even her retorts beca more articulate, unbelievable!
It was Sun Yunyun who tugged at her sleeve: "Aunt, isn’t the plot Uncle chose the first one up for auction? We shouldn’t miss it."
Only then did Sun Jiao have a way out: "Hmph, we don’t have ti to waste with you. Our family is bidding on a big project today, Plot Number 1. Envious, right?"
To say they weren’t envious would be a lie.
Knowing that Qin Tao’s husband had painstakingly selected two plots, with the more expensive one being Plot Number 1, unfortunately, its asking price was five hundred million. The live bidding would be even higher, and with their ager finances, they could only watch.
Qin Tao pressed her lips together: "Then congratulations to you."
Gu Pingzhi said spiritedly, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, I know your family’s having a hard ti, and your kid’s in college, haven’t even changed a sports car, right? Why not join in bidding for Plot Number 1, and I’ll give you 5% of the shares when I take out a loan, you just pay more interest?"
Sun Jiao was anxious, pulling at her husband: Why drag these paupers along?
Gu Pingzhi winked at his wife: It’s a bluff. If they co along, we can bleed them dry with the interest!
Sun Jiao understood, sneaked a laugh, and raised her voice: "That’s right, we are family. Although Jingyan doesn’t quite respect as an elder, I still care about him. No sports car for college, he’d feel so down when Pinting drives a new car. Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, a child’s dignity is important. You should value it. Here’s a chance to make money, my husband isn’t looking down on you, wants to make money with you, what’s there to think about?"
Gu Xizhi pressed his lips, looking at Qin Tao.
Plot Number 1 was indeed expensive and dear to his heart, almost foreseeable, that winning the bid and running a film city slightly would bring imnse profits.
He just didn’t have the money.
Now the rare money-maker, the third family, was willing to share a slice of the pie with them...
"Honey, should we con-consider it?" he said softly.
Qin Tao glared at him fiercely, the normally shy and quiet her unprecedentedly uttering four angry words: "Con-sider my ass."
Between Zuzi and your third brother, don’t you know whom to trust?
