Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Driving Ning Wanru Out of the North Mountain Villa (2) Chapter 375: Chapter 375: Driving Ning Wanru Out of the North Mountain Villa (2) “Brother Gu, what wind has brought you here today? It’s rare indeed. Didn’t your wife co with you?”
Ning Wanru greeted him with great enthusiasm.
And a servant had already brought over so iced tea and fruit.
They respectfully placed it on the coffee table in front of Gu Qingfeng.
Steward Wu waved his hand, signaling them to quickly push everything out.
Old Patriarch never visits without cause; it must be an ill wind that brings him.
Gu Qingfeng spoke faintly, “Sit down, I have sothing to discuss with you.”
Ning Wanru smiled and sat down, her cool gaze sweeping over Gu Qingfeng, unsure of what he intended.
Gu Qingfeng had co with Uncle Gu.
They had not let Tianfeng co; he was to stay at ho and focus on his writing.
So matters cannot be resolved in a single step.
It is always best to proceed in an orderly fashion.
Uncle Gu opened the briefcase he was holding and handed it to Steward Wu, then looked at Ning Wanru and said, “Take a look at this docunt first.”
Steward Wu hurriedly took the docunt and quickly walked over to Ning Wanru, handing it to her.
Ning Wanru glanced at the two n sitting on the sofa opposite her.
If she wasn’t mistaken, there was a hint of mockery in the depths of Gu Qingfeng’s eyes.
She frowned, took the docunt, picked up the reading glasses on the coffee table, and began to read.
Then, her complexion drastically changed.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, “Brother Gu, what does this docunt an?”
“Haven’t you read it?” Gu Qingfeng replied, sowhat impatiently, “This place has been mortgaged to the bank. The investnt in the Hetian Jade Mine did not yield any jade, so now, it must be returned to the bank for auction to repay the loan. You have one week to move out.”
Ning Wanru stiffened all over.
She was indeed struck by the news.
No matter how much she racked her brains, she never expected that the Old Patriarch, who rarely visited this place, would co to evict her.
She had never considered that one day Gu Qingfeng would reclaim the house.
“Mortgaged to the bank? How co I didn’t know about this? I have the property deed here with ; how did you manage to get a mortgage loan?”
Uncle Gu smiled slightly, “Lady Chang, perhaps you’re confused. The deed clearly states the Old Patriarch’s na. This is Gu Family property, and naturally, we didn’t need the consent of an outsider to take out the mortgage.”
An outsider?
Having lived here for over a decade, she was now an outsider.
Her expression darkened, her hands holding the docunt trembling uncontrollably.
One could foresee that if she moved out from here, she would undoubtedly beco the laughingstock of the Imperial Capital’s elite.
Ning Wanru looked down, the amount of the mortgage loan clearly written.
She blurted out, “Brother Gu, an investnt of twelve million in a single jade mine?”
“What has that got to do with you?” asked Gu Qingfeng coldly.
He then stood up, glancing around, “I ca today to inform you. I also wanted to see what this villa is like after all, because in a week, this place will no longer be Gu Family property.”
“Brother Gu, isn’t what you’re doing a bit dishonorable?” Ning Wanru could no longer hold back, standing up and staring fixedly at Gu Qingfeng, “Regardless, you should have notified beforehand. After all, I’ve lived here for several decades. That’s not what you said when you asked to move in…”
“And what did I say?”
“You said I should just live here and not worry.”
“Yes, that’s what I said,” Gu Qingfeng acknowledged with a nod.
