As Gao Changfu's head fell to the ground, Gao Lingyun had discovered that the burden of the head of the family was not as easy as imagined.
The many things that happened in Gao Mansion made him mentally and physically exhausted. At this time, he also understood why his father was so harsh on him when he was still alive, but it was already too late.
The only way to repay his father is to find out the truth, find the killer who assassinated his father that day, and avenge Gao Changfu! However, this matter has a long way to go, and it requires Gao Lingyun to grow up, and it can only be realized when the time is right.
"Gao Lingyun, you came to our Shen Mansion today for the first time, isn't it just to catch up with me? Just tell me if you have anything, maybe I can help you."
After Shen Anran saw that Gao Lingyun also suspected that the killer came from the inner palace of the imperial court, she felt a lot more comfortable, so she changed the subject knowingly and asked Gao Lingyun about the real purpose of coming this time.
"Brother An Ran, you also know that this incident made me empty out the Gao family. I am now in a desperate situation. Aren't you very interested in the dozen or so shops in my hands? I have agreed to your request now. As long as the price is right, I can transfer it to you!”
Gao Lingyun's purpose was the same as what Shen Anran had guessed, but this man was not stupid. He took the initiative to admit his embarrassing situation first, which was much better than being exposed and humiliated.
In addition, he clearly wanted to ask for help from others, but he pretended to be sacrificing himself for others, which made Shen Anran dumbfounded.
"Oh, so that's what happened? You also know me. I'm an uneducated prodigal. The day before yesterday, I just came up with the idea of franchising a store, but you messed it up like this. I've finally figured it out. I really can't do this business thing. I'm not interested in the store thing anymore. You should continue to maintain it, right? You can't let me win people's love, right?"
Shen Anran's air of being unconcerned about the matter made Gao Lingyun confused! The day before yesterday, he came to me aggressively to discuss the sale of the shop, but today he changed his mind inexplicably? And it has become so thorough?
"No, Brother An Ran, if you are not suitable for business, there will be no one in the world who can do business! These dozen shops must be yours! Will you take over?"
Gao Lingyun begged Shen Anran to take over his shop with an almost pleading attitude. If this man didn't still have some dignity, he would have wanted to kneel on the ground and beg Shen Anran to take over the shop!
As long as he can get some silver back home today, his Gao family will be able to turn around! All the humiliation today can be returned!
But how could Shen Anran not know such a simple truth? He would never give Gao Lingyun a chance to stand up.
"Master, look, the young master's plan is going to come true, right?"
"He is indeed my son, Shen Wenchang, and he is the pride of our entire Shen family!"
Shen Wenchang and Lan Yue stood in the house and quietly observed everything happening in the yard. They knew very well that the franchise plan could proceed smoothly.
"No, he's a loser."
Fu Ran appeared out of nowhere and said a word without expression, breaking the peaceful scene.
"An Ran, please don't remember the faults of villains! Let's put aside all the grievances we had before, right? I am short of silver and you are short of shops. We are like fish and water, and each takes what he needs, right? It's embarrassing, right? I'm making things difficult for you, aren't I? I'm on my knees for you! As long as you can pay me some money to take over the shop in my hands, I'm willing to kowtow a few times and call you "Master!"
Gao Lingyun was risking his life today. In order to bring Gao Mansion back to life, with a pop, he knelt on the cold floor tiles and made a gesture of kowtow.
Shen Anran pretended to help him up, but he still had no intention of leaving the rocking chair.
"An Ran, I kowtow to you! Please save my life, Gao Lingyun! Please save my Shen family's life!"
Despite the strong dissuasion of the two servants, Gao Lingyun still kowtowed three times. This made Shen Wenchang, who was hiding in the room watching everything, very excited. The bad breath in his heart was half gone!
After Shen Anran saw Gao Lingyun doing this, he felt a chill running down his back. This Gao Lingyun was far more treacherous than she imagined! A person who is willing to put aside his dignity to ask for help at a critical moment will definitely be able to do ten thousand cruel and vicious things in the future!
Facts have proved that Shen Anran's thoughts were all correct. In Gao Lingyun's heart, Shen's mansion would be trampled under his feet sooner or later! When he can gain power like his father, he will definitely find an opportunity to kill the entire Shen family!
If this is the case, a cycle is inevitable. Gao Changfu's fate will be Gao Lingyun's tomorrow. Judging from the current world, no one except the imperial court can beat him, Shen Anran!
"Brother An Ran, our Shen Mansion is not as good as yours? We are so poor, how can we have any silver to take over the shop in your hands? I really can't help you? But if you can accept the installment payment, I will still be willing to help you. The one who made this happen!”
The best solution is to cry poor. Let's see what Gao Lingyun plans next?
"No money? Why the hell did you tell me you had no money? Why are you pretending to be such a big-tailed wolf in front of me, Gao Lingyun?"
"Hey? You dare to bully our master, right? Let's see if we don't beat you to death!"
Gao Lingyun's fox tail was instantly exposed, and the two servants beside him also looked like they were about to beat someone up. Shen Wenchang, who had been watching in the room, began to lose his balance. He was afraid that his precious son would suffer.
"Don't worry, sir. The young master can handle such a small matter."
Lan Yue still trusted Shen Anran very much as before. It was unclear when this trust was established, and there was an indescribable feeling of ambiguity.
"We only have less than one thousand taels of silver left in the entire Shen Mansion, and I can still use this money for great use. If I use part of it to support you, my life will be much harder~~"
Shen Anran just wanted to test his thoughts on purpose to see if Gao Lingyun had really learned well, but their performance was really disappointing, so an idea came to his mind.
"Master, he is not poor anymore? Go and beg him quickly? There is one thousand taels of silver! How many things can you do?"
"Yes, Master, a man can bend and stretch. You are begging him properly. You have already lost face just now, haven't you? This last tremor is enough~~"
What kind of general leads what kind of soldiers? What kind of virtue is this Gao Lingyun? What kind of virtue is the servant in the family? Just now when Shen Anran had no money, they all had a ferocious look on their faces, wishing to swallow each of them in one bite.
Now that he learned that there was still one thousand taels of silver in Shen's mansion, his face immediately changed.
"Brother An Ran! Just because of my poor consideration, I made you laugh! You just treat me like a fart, brother? Please take over my shop, and I will give you a few more!"
This Gao Lingyun also had merits. This man was not someone who usually listened to advice. Without any explanation, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Until his head was smashed and blood flowed down his cheek, he had no intention of stopping.
Shen Anran then stood up and helped him up. After all, Daliang's laws were not as strict as usual. If this person kowtowed to death at home, he would inevitably be sued, and he might even be killed.
"The shop in your hands is indeed of no use to me, but I think you are really pitiful, and I can't bear not to help you, so I have an idea that I don't know whether to talk about or not~"
Hearing what Shen Anran said, Gao Lingyun knew that his chance had come! As long as he can get money from the Shen Mansion today, the Gao Mansion will still have a chance.
After all, at this juncture, everyone is avoiding Gao Mansion, only Shen Mansion can solve his urgent need!
"Brother An Ran, if you have any ideas, it doesn't matter. As long as you can help Gao Mansion get out of trouble, your Shen Mansion will always be the great benefactor of our Gao Mansion! I, Gao Lingyun, will repay this favor one day!"
Haha~ Gao Lingyun's words were like farts. His acting skills were truly invincible, and he was even moved by himself.
"We only have these thousand taels of silver left in the Shen Mansion. I am willing to give it all to you for emergency relief, but according to the rules, you have to give me a written note! You also know that it is not easy for us to make money, so you must give it to me Some hope, isn’t it?”
