164 Spot Worth a House

At the Gu residence.

When Gu Yuan and Principal Wu returned to the Gu residence after dinner, Qu Bei quickly went up and asked, “How did it go? Did Principal Wu agree?”

Gu Yuan tugged at his tie, threw down his briefcase, and sat down on the sofa. He said tiredly, “It shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve already given away a house. Principal Wu should be satisfied.”

When Qu Bei heard this, her face darkened. “Gu Yuan, you gave away a house for Zhong Yao’s spot in school. Isn’t this too exaggerated? Previously, you’ve also spent so much money on Gu Man. If another relative comes later, will you give up another house to help them?”

When Gu Yuan heard Qu Bei call him by his name, he knew that she must be very angry. However, he refused to lower his head and said in a low voice, “What do you know? You can earn back the money, but you can never get it back if you lose face. Don’t say this in front of Gu Zhi and Mom.”

“Yes, I’m an ignorant woman. I only know how to feel sorry for this house. Besides, I don’t have the right to call the shots in this house. It’s useless even if I tell others,” Qu Bei said sarcastically.

“You... are simply unreasonable!” Gu Yuan scolded in a low voice.

Qu Bei still wanted to make a scene, but Gu Zhi also came out of the room and asked anxiously, “Brother, how is it? Does Yao’er have a chance of entering Han City First High?”

Gu Yuan had a headache, but he still perked up, “It shouldn’t be a problem. We’ll know the results the day after tomorrow.”

“Why didn’t you give us a definite answer? It’s too unkind to keep us hanging like this.” Gu Zhi couldn’t help but mutter.

When Qu Bei heard this, she sneered. “Sister-in-law, how can it be so easy to get a definite answer? If you give them a lot of money, it’s possible that you’ll lose it if you’re not careful. Even if they have a place, they might not give it to you.”

When Gu Zhi heard Qu Bei mention money, she immediately felt short of breath. She knew what Qu Bei meant. It was obvious that Zhong Yao had made the Gu family spend a lot of money this time.

Gu Zhi said dryly, “This... I know too. We’ve troubled the Gu family. We really don’t have any other choice. Yao’er can only rely on Uncle. Don’t worry, Yao’er will definitely repay you in the future.”

Gu Yuan waved his hand and said, “Don’t say such polite words. We’re family.”

“Even biological brothers settle accounts clearly. Our Gu family is not rich either. We worked hard to earn money. We can help as much as we can, but we can’t possibly go and help after the Gu Family has been squeezed, right?” Qu Bei felt her heart ache just thinking about being given away.

“Why are you saying these things? If we can’t settle this matter, our family won’t be able to raise our heads in the village in the future.” Gu Yuan stood up angrily and shouted at Qu Bei.

Seeing that Gu Yuan and Qu Bei were about to quarrel, Gu Zhi quickly said, “Look, it’s all our fault. We’ll remember this favor and will definitely repay it in the future.”

Qu Bei said softly, “Tsk, I wonder when can you repay it.”

When Gu Yuan heard this, he glared at her and Qu Bei quickly shut up.

“It’s all Gu Man’s fault. She could have said something, but she didn’t help. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have to spend so much money in vain.” Gu Zhi mentioned Gu Man, hoping to divert Qu Bei’s attention.

Sure enough, when she heard Gu Zhi’s words, Qu Bei was furious. “Don’t mention her in the future. She should have gotten lost from the Gu family long ago.”

When Gu Yuan heard this, he suddenly remembered that Gu Man had been out for two to three days, but she did not give in at all. After all, she was his biological daughter. If it weren’t for Gu Man’s arrogant personality, he would be happy to nurture her. Hence, he asked, “Has Gu Man contacted Gu Rou?”

Gu Zhi immediately said, “I heard from Yao’er that a luxury car sent Gu Man to school in the morning. Could she have met a rich sugar daddy outside?”

Qu Bei said coldly, “Rou’er doesn’t have time to contact her. The guzheng competition in Han City is tomorrow. Rou’er is very busy now.”

She wished that Gu Man would never return to the Gu Family.

“I almost forgot. How are her preparations?” Gu Yuan suddenly remembered.

Qu Bei felt aggrieved again. He could forget such an important competition of his daughter, but he remembered to help his niece.

“It should be fine. It’s at the Han City Opera House at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”

“Then let’s go as a family tomorrow to cheer for Gu Rou,” Gu Yuan said happily.

At this point, Qu Bei’s expression softened.
