Chapter 565: Chapter 565: The Bride Price
Even though Gu Cheng tried his best to suppress it, the cacophony of voices was relentless, and his family had beco as detestable as dog excrent.
Just think about it, Gu Cheng’s daughter was so audaciously shaless that she would resort to any ans to get what she wanted, and if she failed, she would lash out and harm innocent people in her frustration. Who would dare to associate with such a family?
Therefore, nowadays, if people aren’t kicking them when they’re down, they’re offering empty praises of integrity. As for interacting with Gu Cheng, many have given up on that idea.
The Qin Family, of course, was one of the first to hear the news.
Thankfully, in the end, Gu Qianqian was alright.
She’s a good kid and, as they say, fortune favors the righteous.
When Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize entered the room together, Grandma Qin and Qin Xuan were watching TV.
Xiao Yu wasn’t in the living room, probably studying.
Seeing the happy couple return, Grandma Qin’s face blossod with joy.
After they talked for a while, she said to them, “Qiaoqiao, you’ve been very tired and had a hard ti these days, no need to keep us company, go back to your room and rest.”
Qin Yize also happened to have sothing to discuss with Gu Qiaoqiao.
So the two of them returned to their room.
The warm yellow light filled the room with warmth, and a vase on the coffee table held a freshly blood rose, spreading its unique fragrance on an autumn night.
It must have been Shen Manru who placed it there.
Gu Qiaoqiao took off her trench coat, revealing a beige knitted sweater underneath, and her black ponytail swayed gently with her movents.
It also made ripples across Qin Yize’s heart.
He reached out, gently stroking Gu Qiaoqiao’s hair, and then pulled out a kraft paper bag from the file folder.
This folder he had just taken from the car.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought it was a work-related docunt and did not even glance at it.
Because she knew many things were confidential.
And Gu Qiaoqiao had no interest in knowing these things.
However, to her surprise, Qin Yize handed the kraft paper bag to Gu Qiaoqiao and said in a deep voice, “This is the proof of ownership and property deeds for the two shops. You should keep it for now…”
Gu Qiaoqiao’s brow furrowed slightly as she looked at the kraft paper bag before her.
She knew that Qin Yishan had co a few days earlier to claim these two properties.
If she gave them to him, would he go and settle accounts with Great Grandfather?
After all, both were his great-grandchildren; there was no reason they shouldn’t be treated the sa.
Moreover, although the more money the better, so of it could easily cause disputes and wasn’t worth the trouble.
“I don’t want it, and I don’t need it…” Gu Qiaoqiao declined tactfully.
Understanding flashed in Qin Yize’s starry eyes, and he said gently, “Don’t worry, I won’t let it cause you any trouble. Just keep this safe for now. These two shops will eventually be yours, but for the mont, I won’t let anyone know you own them, as quite a few people are eyeing them…”
“Are you talking about Qin Yishan?”
“Yes, and also my second uncle, as well as my cousin’s wife and her family, are coveting these two shops.”
Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Qin Yize without speaking.
Qin Yize’s gaze darkened, “People are never satisfied. Qin Yishan’s startup fund ca from the Qin family. Great Grandfather gave him $500,000, and later when it wasn’t enough, he added another $200,000. Yet, even so, they’re still not content and have the audacity to use the two shops for smuggling. How can I allow it?”
This was indeed the most severe and intolerable issue.
Rarely, when Qin Yize spoke of his cousin, it was with a tone of disappointnt and frustration as if he were lanting a wasted opportunity.
Moreover, it was tinged with disappointnt.
