18 - Summon the rich to dote on me

The scene was like an Internet cafe went power outage and the entire system crashed. Only Pei was in a trance for a moment and then immediately became a money grubber appendage.

He pulled up the scared-out-of-his-wits Gu Han, with his one-handed palm facing upward without looking sideways, full of an empress’ imposing manner as he said, “Secretary Ke.”

The secretary who was forgotten at the door was like a shooting star in the sky at night, flashing his hands on his side to present a full set of document about the purchased shop, almost kneeling.

Pei Xian put the folder on Gu Caicai’s head, only drew out the payment application and put it on top. “Hubby, this is your son’s favorite shop today. He’s going to open an alpaca themed coffee shop in Haiguang Street.”

Then he put a felt-tip pen in Gu Han’s hand and blinked at him innocently.

“Mama~ I seem to have met a scam gang!!” In the bottom of his heart, Gu Han howled in grief and swallowed the pain. He had just announced his happy family and couldn’t turn around and take it back, right?

Wearing a stiff smile, Boss Gu signed the bill on the spot with a stroke of the pen!

Pei Xian’s fingers caught the thin piece of paper and ‘ whooshed ’ it away. His fast hands didn’t resemble a person who had a hubby, “Secretary Ke, handled it as soon as possible.”

“Pei -shao [1] be at ease, I’ll go to pay immediately.” The secretary didn’t dare to look at the boss’ fallen apart expression and quickly fled the scene.

At this time, after a long cooling off, the brothers [2] finally accepted the scene of magical realism. Once they heard that the eldest nephew [3] was going to open a shop in Haiguang Street, they offered support one after another.

“Saozi [4] , I provide interior design! A top design team, we will use whatever furnishing and decoration the Dubai Sheikh uses!”

“I provide equipment; coffee equipment imported from Italy, custom retro design!”

"

"

“And I, I do publicity; 4A advertising firm, television and all-round We Media [5] coverage!”

“I……” The loose mouthed childhood friend was lagging behind and suddenly found out that all had finished speaking, his eyes slowly fell on Gu Caocao. “Lao Gu, none of theirs is important. I’ll give you 28 adopted sons with a guarantee that each one is imported from Peru, with beautiful face, long hair and pure blood line!”

“……” Gu Han had lost all of his ability to react, looked down on the sentient beings with compassion. This world has nothing to do with me.

Pei Xian thanked everyone one by one. Suddenly, he grabbed Gu Han’s necktie lightly and motioned him to bow his head. He whispered, “Hubby~”

“Nn?” Gu Han almost collided with his nose tip. The little quail’s tiny pupils were as bright as stars, looking at him intently.

In an instant, Boss Gu felt relieved. If Pei Xian kissed him in front of people like this, money could be regarded as fart [6] ah! Add another zero at the back, this Daddy will also sign [name on the check]!

The room was very quiet as if the air had lost its flow, waiting quietly for them to kiss as the scene froze on the beautiful, peaceful side profiles.

The next second, Pei Xian patted the fluffy and soft head of Gu Caocao and pressed Gu Han to bend down, “Caocao wants to thank Daddy, come kiss Daddy.”

Gu Caocao was unusually obedient. It blinked its big European eyes and called out “ohn” twice. Then it stuck out its little pink tongue and gave Daddy Gu a face wash.

It’s really… a touching scene of husband and wife’s harmony and benevolent father, filial son. The brothers bowed their heads and doubted life.

Pei Xian had gained nearly 30 million assets and there were various sponsorships higher than the asset price, he was as happy as a little deer hopping away with Gu Caocao, leaving the lived-without-love [7] Gu Han behind to deal with the aftermath.

It was not that Boss Gu didn’t want to introduce Pei Xian to the people around him. The main thing was that he and Pei Xian had a delicate relationship. He always felt that he’s a shaved head that carried a shoulder pole with one end warm [8] , he dared not cross the line; the key was that he’s hanging Xiao Yuhang outside. It’s too cheap for him to lay his cards on the table so quickly.

Thereupon, he poured tea for the guys with meaningful and heartfelt words, “I’m sorry to bother my brothers to keep today’s matter a secret. I don’t want Pei Xian to be exposed for the time being. It’s too much trouble.”

These words could be understood as there was no such thing as right with the marriage of the influential clan and Pei Xian without a name in the circle seemingly was from an unsuitable door and incorrect household [9] . Once it was made public, it would cause a headache.

Everyone was very glad that he had left Xiao Yuhang’s devilish clutches and they swore with tea instead of wine that today’s matter would be rotten in their stomach. Only then did Gu Han released his breath.

–

Xiao Yuhang was very depressed today. He met his super rival Wu Qianyi when he participated in a program.

This Wu Qianyi was not an ordinary woman. Her father was a glass magnate and she had seven sis-con maniac older brothers. In the entertainment circle, she belonged to the sideways walking king crab [10] level.

With such an on/off witch, Xiao Yuhang barely made his first debut by daring to rely on Gu Han outrageously robbing her variety resources.

Wu Qianyi’s acting skills were second rate but her grudge bearing was first rate. Whether there was something the matter or not, she made oblique accusations on Weibo, bringing along Xiao Yuhang. Her father and older brothers were afraid of offending Gu Han and they pleaded with tactful words for many times. Only when the big star Xiao ventured into Hollywood did she catch up steadily for a few years.

Today, the enemies exceptionally infuriated when they met. When they met face to face on a narrow path in the dressing room, they simultaneously took out a 40 meter long machete. Instantly, the room was fusilladed with glints and flashes of cold steel, the staffs all gave them a wide berth.

“When will the art gallery open? My flower basket is ready.” Wu Qianyi ax taunted.

Xiao Yuhang had been talking about the art gallery for a long time, only to hear the clap of the thunder but missing the rain [11] . It’s quite different from the situation in the past where he had everything going his way, but it was actually calling out for Gu Han. The sensitivity of women made Wu Qianyi seize the chance for her grudges regardless of the situation.

Xiao Yuhang flicked the fine dust that didn’t exist at all at his collar. “Miss Wu doesn’t have to worry about it. I’m just seeing if there is something better.”

“Then you should make a call soon if you don’t buy it. If it wasn’t for President Gu’s sake that I’d let you, I’ve already bought such a cheap property of 20~30 million yuan, but you need to pick and choose?” Wu Qianyi looked down upon him as if he was hanging the gold master and spending money in vain, super unprofessional.

Stabbed in the foot, Xiao Yuhang’s lungs exploded with anger, but his expression still maintaining serene and calmness, only his complexion was a little white. He knew that the art gallery would drag out gossip again. It was not easy for him to return to the country for development and if someone knew that he had lost the big backer Gu Han, wouldn’t anyone step on his foot?

“You’re right; I can’t always trouble people to help me look around for a shop building every day and not doing their proper business. Isn’t it only 20~30 million yuan? I already have the money. Humph!” He took out his phone and made a call in front of Wu Qianyi. Today, even if he had to pay for it, he had to make the matter of Gu Han gifting him the art gallery clear and definite.

Wu Qianyi curled her lips and faced the lighting to look at her fingernails while thinking that surnamed Gu’s brain was really sick to find this kind of goods that couldn’t be put on the table.

“Mister Liang, I’ll make a deposit to you right away. My assistant will go to you to get the contract and the matter of the shop building at Haiguang Street is set this way.” Xiao Yuhang deliberately turned the volume of his phone to the maximum and was ready to pay out the money to ruthlessly slap Wu Qianyi’s stinky face.

“Mister Xiao, I’m really sorry. Mister Pei has signed the contract and paid the deposit. I haven’t had time to tell you and he just paid the whole amount! He said he wanted to open an alpaca farm here?” There was no time to cut off the phone and the building owner’s voice was clear.

Upon hearing that, Wu Qianyi ignored her image and make-up as she laughed with tears in her eyes. The laughter couldn’t be stopped, “Xiao Yuhang, you even have a day of being robbed ah? Three melons and two jujubes[13] of deposit are even reluctant to pay? Ow , make me laugh so hard! The art gallery changes into a sheep pen hahaha!”

She laughed so hard that she had to lean on the wall to go out while picking up her phone to send messages to her friends in the circle one by one.

Xiao Yuhang held the back of the chair to support himself, he couldn’t breathe and almost fainted. He smashed his phone on the tabletop and the screen cracked in response.

The author has something to say:

Xianxian: Baa baa baa baa~~

Caocao: Ohn ohn ohn ohn~~
