Chapter 499: What Does The Shop Do?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yundong walked into the shop and recognized him at a glance.
At the same time, Duan Qian and Duan Wan also recognized her.
The two of them immediately narrowed their eyes and straightened their expressions. Duan Qian instantly smiled. “So it’s Miss Gu. We didn’t have the time to talk the last time we met. I didn’t expect to see you again today.”
The father and son of the Yu family were surprised. The Gu girl actually knew the eldest young master of the Duan family?
Gu Yundong smiled. “I heard that Young Master Duan wants to buy our shop?”
Duan Qian sighed inwardly. After seeing Gu Yundong, he knew that there was not much hope.
Others might consider the Duan family’s status and sell the shop to them if they were unwilling to offend the Duan family.
Actually, after Gu Yundong left that day, he had asked Mo Xulin about her background.
Mo Xulin only said, “She’s not a big shot. She doesn’t have any background. However, I don’t dare to offend her. Oh, and it’s also because of her that your family can do this sugar business. So if you see her next time, stay away.”
Duan Qian had yet to recover from the shock of this girl being associated with the sugar business when he was stunned by Mo Xulin’s incoherent words.
Since she didn’t have any background, why didn’t he dare to offend her? If he had a sugar business because of her, why shouldn’t he say thank you when he saw her? Instead, he had to stay far away??
However, Mo Xulin did not say anything else. Others also kept their mouths shut even when he asked them.
However, Duan Wan had told her that at the entrance of the Xin residence that day, she had personally seen Miss Gu throw a stone at the back of the head of the fourth brother who was following Lord Mo. Not only was he not angry, he even invited her in with a smile.
This series of actions was really confusing, but Duan Qian understood. Not only could he not offend this Miss Gu, but he should also try his best to befriend her.
Hence, when he heard Gu Yundong’s question, he said very gently, “Yes, we do have the intention to buy this shop. I wonder if Miss Gu has the intention to sell it. We can negotiate the price.”
Gu Yundong shook her head. “I don’t intend to sell this shop. Besides, it was given to me by someone else. If I sell it, wouldn’t I be letting them down?”
Gu Yundong was telling the truth and did not hint anything.
However, Duan Qian’s expression changed slightly. Someone gave it to her?
Who would dare to give away the shop that the Imperial Court had confiscated? It could only be… the Imperial Court.
Duan Qian instantly put away all his thoughts and changed the topic. “In that case, it seems that we can only look elsewhere.” He looked helpless.
He turned around and saw the Yu father and son. He then looked at the relatively neat shop and asked curiously, “Miss Gu, are you planning to open for business? What kind of business are you doing? If you need me, just tell me. The Duan family can still be of use in Wanqing Prefecture.”
Gu Yundong actually wanted to be on good terms with the Duan family, especially when Duan Qian’s attitude was very friendly.
After all, she was going to leave soon. If the three members of the Yu family opened a shop in such a prosperous area, they would easily be targeted if they did not have any backing.
Young Master Duan came at the right time.
Hence, Gu Yundong asked Tong Shuitao to tidy up the tables and chairs. After inviting Duan Qian and Duan Wan to sit down, she said, “I do plan to tidy up and open for business.”
“Oh? Will you continue to sell satin and cloth, or tea and wine? Or maybe jewelry?”
