Chapter 20: Chapter 19 Your Boyfriend, A Wealthy Aristocrat?

Just then, Mr. Liu suddenly interjected, "How much are you selling this shop for to someone else?"

But Liu Ermao immediately answered:

"One million! Tomorrow the buyer is coming to pay a down payment of five hundred thousand!"

Then a greedy smile spread across his face, "Hehe, actually if Mr. Liu could come up with one million in these two days, I'd rather sell the shop to you, sir!"

Speaking, Liu Ermao suddenly declared resolutely:

"No! Not a one-time payment of one million, as long as you can give me five hundred thousand first! Without a second word, I'd sell you the shop on the spot! Then I wouldn't sign the contract tomorrow!"

"Do you even have that much money...? After all these years, if you wanted to buy it, you should have done so long ago, right?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Bai became unhappy, pointing at Liu Ermao indignantly:

"Hey! Liu Wazi, what kind of way is that to talk!? You think we can't afford it, huh?"

Liu Ermao shrank his neck and didn't dare to utter a word under Gu Yu's gaze.

Mr. Liu calmed Mrs. Bai's pointing finger:

"Wife, no more talk, Liu Wazi is right, we really can't come up with five hundred thousand..."

"Sigh, maybe it's just bad fate, this shop is destined to close."

He sighed deeply before continuing:

"Liu Wazi, are you sure you're selling this shop to treat your dad's illness?"

Liu Ermao quickly raised four fingers: "I swear that's the case! If I'm not curing my dad, may the heavens split and thunder strike me!"

Realizing the conflict with what he had said before, he added another sentence: "Hehe, those previous words were just me blathering, after all, he's my dad, if he's gone, wouldn't I become an orphan!"

Upon hearing Liu Ermao's words, Mr. Liu seemed resigned, speaking in a feeble tone:

"Alright, go ahead and sell it, just inform us about Old Liu's department and ward number, we'll go see him tonight."

"Sure! Give me your phone, and I'll jot it down for you!"

Mr. Liu passed him his almost decade-old semi-smartphone with the stylus screen, and Liu Ermao, wielding the stylus, quickly wrote down the information Mr. Liu needed.

"There, that's done, I'll be off then, you guys try to move the stuff tonight, and about that camera I smashed, you don't need to pay for it..."

Liu Ermao was about to leave when his eyes caught Lin Xinyue.

He blurted out without thinking, "Hehe, isn't this sister Lin? I saw you several times when you were little, never thought you'd grow up to be this beautiful!"

Lin Xinyue glared at him coldly.

Liu Ermao didn't care, humming a tune with his hands in his pockets, he walked towards the shop's exit.

Just as his foot was about to step out of the noodle shop door.

"Stop!"

Gu Yu's voice suddenly came from behind him.

His expression froze, his footsteps halted, and he hovered his right foot over the step, not daring to move.

"No way... I didn't just offend this big brother by complimenting Lin Xinyue on her looks, did I?"

Cold sweat formed on Liu Ermao's back.

He rubbed his face with his hand, trying to muster a pleasing smile, then turned around chuckling as he looked at Gu Yu.

But immediately, he realized he was overthinking it.

Gu Yu spoke indifferently, "I'll give you five hundred thousand today, will you sell the shop to me?"

Liu Ermao's expression stiffened for two seconds before he realized what Gu Yu meant, and he hurriedly said:

"Damn? Big brother? That's five hundred thousand! If you really bring it today, I'll really sell!"

He boldly sized up Gu Yu from head to toe, unable to discern any sign that Gu Yu had a lot of money.

Unless being handsome can be exchanged for cash!

The clothes Gu Yu was wearing didn't look like those of a rich man at all, he totally looked like an average college student, right?

Liu Ermao was wholly unconvinced that Gu Yu could come up with five hundred thousand on the spot.

Just pretending, right? You can't fake being rich like that, right? Too much pretense can lead to a fall!

As he scoffed internally, the next second, Gu Yu said something that completely took him aback.

"Fine, then I'll buy the shop. Go prepare the sales contract."

Although Gu Yu appeared serious, Liu Ermao was still doubtful.

"Man, you're not playing with me, are you? That's five hundred thousand, not fifty thousand, not five thousand!"

Not only did Liu Ermao disbelieve, but so did Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai, their faces full of skepticism.

Yue found a boyfriend that rich?

He wants to buy a store just like that?

Can take out half a million yuan just like that?

Isn't this just some young man bragging to save face?

Only Lin Xinyue was calm because she already knew Gu Yu owned a shop on the main road of Xuhui Commercial Street.

He had just collected rent from there a moment ago!

This guy must be a son from some Hidden Rich Family! Just very low-key, that's all!

Thinking of this, Lin Xinyue actually began to feel somewhat inferior.

Her family backround was decent too, but they wouldn't just give her a shop worth three to four million yuan to collect rent from!

Really, you can die of envy comparing with others!

As Lin Xinyue indulged in her inferior thoughts, speculating about Gu Yu's identity, Gu Yu had already opened his Alipay account for Liu Ermao to see.

[MYbank Account: 6666 6666 7845 xxxx Available Balance (Yuan): 660274.34.]

"Damn! There really is fifty thousand! You're the real deal, big bro!" Liu Ermao's eyes were practically popping out!

He counted twice to make sure that there really were six figures before the decimal point!

A flash of greed flitted across his eyes, and Liu Ermao swallowed hard, suppressing the bad thoughts in his head.

Gu Yu only let him glance at it for a few seconds before putting his phone back into his pocket.

"See? Go prepare the contract! I'm buying this shop of yours for five hundred thousand, the money will be transferred to your account immediately once we sign the contract."

With the real five hundred thousand in sight, Liu Ermao no longer had doubts.

He nodded vigorously, giving Gu Yu a thumbs up.

"Big bro! From now on, you're my big bro! Not only do you have the looks, you can fight, and you've got financial power too! Big bro, do you still take underlings?"

Liu Ermao was all ingratiating.

He had after all mingled with the rich second generation, and he knew that these youths who could casually take out tens of thousands were all backed by powerful families!

As long as he could get a taste, even if it was just a bone with no meat on it, he could gnaw on it for a long time!

As for why Gu Yu was dressed so modestly, that all made sense too!

Real heirs of Hidden Rich Families are all about being low-key! Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The ones who drive sports cars around the streets everyday are mostly the newly rich!

"First, get the stuff I want ready."

Gu Yu ignored Liu Ermao's request to acknowledge him as a 'big bro' and started tidying up the chairs and tables that had fallen to the ground.

"Quick, quick, quick, come in and help clean up, and tidy up!"

Liu Ermao saw his chance to ingratiate himself and hurriedly called two of his men to help in the store!

As for himself, he hurried off to prepare the contract.

Looking at the troublemaking blond kid now cleaning up after Gu Yu,

Mr. Liu and Mrs. Bai both felt like they were dreaming.

They had seen the balance of six hundred sixty thousand too!

The two old-timers had been pulling noodles for half their lives and never had three hundred thousand in hand!

"Yue'er, who exactly is this boyfriend of yours? Is he perhaps the child of some company boss your parents introduced to you?"

Mrs. Bai dragged Lin Xinyue into the back kitchen and pulled her own old man with her.

The three of them whispered in the back kitchen, and who knew precisely what they were discussing.

Gu Yu faintly heard them talking about things like Hidden Rich Family, big boss, rich second generation and knew they must be guessing his identity.

A bitter smile appeared on his face, and he let them guess.

After all, he didn't know how to explain it.

As time went on and he gained more from the system, his identity was going to be questioned by even more people.

Pretending to be a noble young master from a Hidden Rich Family might save him a lot of trouble!
