Novel Bin Chapter 498: Want to Buy This Shop
Tong Shuitao looked up and saw a young girl walking in. She looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old and had a high posture. There were two maidservants following her.
She glanced at them, then turned around and shouted, “Brother, there’s someone inside.”
Soon, a man in his twenties followed in. He was also dressed in brocade and looked elegant.
Yu Jin had already walked up to them and asked with a smile, “May I ask what’s the matter?”
He was smiling, but his face was still injured, so his smile looked a little twisted.
The girl immediately took a step back. “Stay away from me.”
Uncle Yu stepped forward. “What’s the matter?”
The girl asked arrogantly, “Did you buy this shop?”
“We’ll be in charge of this shop from now on.”
The girl sized them up from head to toe for a while. “Just you guys? Alright, I want to purchase this shop from you. Just name your price.”
“Wanwan, don’t be rude,” Duan Qian scolded softly.
His sister didn’t get it, but he did. They were saying they were in charge, which meant the owner was someone else.
Duan Wan was a little dissatisfied. “We were the ones who took a fancy to it first. Who knew that someone would intercept us?”
The Xin family’s shops would be auctioned off by the Imperial Court after they were confiscated. Furthermore, the earlier the better. After all, the sudden closure of many shops in such a huge prefectural city would affect the lives of the commoners.
The Duan family had bought the most shops this time. One-third of the Xin family’s shops had gone into their pockets.
However, while Duan Qian had bought so many shops, the one he wanted the most was not on the auction list.
He felt that it was strange and went to ask. Those people only said that it had been sold.
Duan Qian thought very highly of this shop. The size was secondary. The main thing was that it was in a good location. He had been determined to get this shop before, and he did not expect such an outcome.
Since the seal on the shop was removed this morning, he had gotten someone to watch over it. If they saw the owner, they had to quickly return to the Duan family to report.
That was why he came to the shop with Duan Wan, who insisted on coming along, when he heard the news.
Seeing that the Yu father and son didn’t look too good after hearing Duan Wan’s words, he immediately pushed Duan Wan back and took a few steps forward. He said politely, “Little brother, I’m from the Duan family. I want to talk to your boss about this shop. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to introduce me to them.”
The Duan family?
Uncle Yu and Yu Jin were naturally not unfamiliar with the Duan family. In their eyes, this was a colossus like the Xin family.
Previously, the Xin family was still suppressing them. Now that the entire Xin family had been exterminated, there was no one in the Wanqing Prefecture who could suppress the Duan family.
The Duan family wanted to buy this shop?
The two of them immediately became worried. This was not to be trifled with.
Uncle Yu was about to go in to look for Gu Yundong, but Tong Shuitao had already turned around smartly and gone in.
She didn’t dare to let Gu Dajiang and Uncle Yu know. She could only whisper into her miss’s ear, “Miss, there are two people outside who call themselves the Duan family’s young miss and young master. They want to buy our shop.”
The Duan family??
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. When she saw Gu Dajiang looking over, she quickly said, “Father, chat with Grandpa Yu first. I’ll talk to Uncle Yu and the others about how to set up this shop and repair it.”
When Gu Dajiang saw Tong Shuitao’s expression just now, he knew that it was definitely not that simple. However, he was afraid that Uncle Yu would be worried, so he did not say anything and only nodded.
Gu Yundong gave Xue Rong a look and asked him to watch the two of them while she brought Tong Shuitao to the shop in front.
