Chapter 487: Chapter 487: She is willing to spend 50 million to buy that 60% stake. Chapter 487: Chapter 487: She is willing to spend 50 million to buy that 60% stake. And the Jade Mine, although not their only source of income, was a major one.
Now, these two matters had hit the Old Patriarch hard, so much so that he was even willing to let go of his most cherished Jade Mine.
At this very moment, Gu Cheng reveled in schadenfreude.
The Old Patriarch was too ruthless.
Although they hadn’t been openly expelled, everything related to the Gu Family’s name was now unrelated to them.
All those decades of filial piety as if he were their own father were in vain.
Aside from not being his biological child, how was he any lesser than the deceased Gu Kun?
Having him should have been enough, yet why did they persist, day after day, year after year, to search for his son?
If he had been given control of the Gu Family, he certainly would have brought it to greater heights.
But now it had been given to a little girl.
What did that little girl have besides her carving skills?
Connections, tact, power–she had none of these.
So, with just a simple scheme, they were forced to sell the Jade Mine.
And there was more drama awaiting them.
He intended to make Gu Qingfeng regret everything he had done to him.
With pride, Gu Cheng said to Ning Wanru, “Mother, this is an opportunity…”
After some discussion, they decided to buy the Jade Mine.
Because it was a money tree that could continuously produce wealth.
If the Old Patriarch really sold the Jade Mine for fifty million, the buyer would come to own more than sixty percent of the shares.
That would be a loss for them.
Moreover, fifty million was far too cheap.
So, of course, the early bird catches the worm…
Consequently, Ning Wanru no longer hesitated.
Because the Great Grandfather had only given them three days.
Hence, she directly called Gu Qingfeng.
Over the phone, she told Gu Qingfeng that she was willing to spend fifty million to buy the sixty percent share.
That way, the Jade Mine would be entirely hers.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Qingfeng’s heart leapt with joy, but he didn’t agree on the spot and replied that he had already released the news and would wait a while before deciding.
Ning Wanru was startled, gripping the phone, “Then how long do we have to wait?”
“Let me think about it,” Gu Qingfeng said and then hung up the phone.
Ning Wanru’s heart hung in suspense.
She had never been so fixated on the Jade Mine as she was today, but once certain thoughts took root, they spread uncontrollably like wild grass.
Yet, she could not call him again.
Thus, Ning Wanru mobilized her contacts to gather information from everywhere.
And she waited in intense anticipation for a call from Gu Qingfeng.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng was strolling around a small playground in Gu Garden with his great-grandson, Gu Zishu.
The rambunctious Gu Zishu was showing his Great Grandfather the martial arts and boxing skills he had learned recently, and Gu Qingfeng watched with joy.
Zishu had gotten a tan, but he had also grown taller and sturdier.
It’s said that the affection skips a generation; when he had met Gu Tianfeng, Tianfeng had already been in his forties.
So Zishu became the apple of his eye.
How could he not cherish him?
The next day, Ning Wanru, who had always managed to manipulate everyone at will, could not maintain her composure because she learned that Gu Qingfeng had indeed spread the word.
There were more people than just Ning Wanru coveting the Jade Mine.
So, early in the morning, Ning Wanru called Gu Qingfeng.
She unleashed her persuasive powers, claiming that it would be better for the mine to be bought by her rather than someone else…
