Gu Mo couldn't bear to stay here and watch Bai Yue's performance. She waved goodbye to Xu You and said, "Auntie, I'll leave today. If anything happens, we can keep in touch at any time."
When Xu You heard that Gu Mo was leaving, he quickly raised his feet to see her off, but Bai Yue pulled her back.
Gu Mo looked at this little action and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"Auntie, please don't send it away. I can drive away by myself."
Xu You couldn't help but tell Gu Mo kindly. After the people left, Bai Yue's expression changed and she immediately acted coquettishly again.
"Auntie, just help me this time. I will definitely perform well and strive to show off my talents in the fashion show."
Normally Xu You would not be able to stand Bai Yue's coquettishness and would agree immediately, but this time it was different.
Xu You's face darkened and he took his hand out of Bai Yue's arms.
"Yueyue, everyone comes up step by step! You see, Momo didn't go to the draft by herself before, and no one helped her at all. Don't think that the Bai family can give you everything.
I promised you before that I would give you resources when you come back, but you must also know how to cherish them. This does not mean that I must help you! "
Bai Yue was immediately discouraged. She never expected that Xu You would say such words and call Gu Mo so affectionately, and she felt unhappy.
Ever since Gu Mo entered the Bai family, her uncle and aunt had become more and more impatient with her. She had to act coquettishly again and lowered her tone, "Auntie, but I really want to go to this fashion show. ah!"
"Next time, it's too late this time. It seems that the list of fashion shows has been sent out. You have offended many brands by not going to the photo shoot last time. It will take at least half a year before I get another invitation from a brand."
Bai Yue said unwillingly: "Half a year is too long!"
How many new models are there in the entertainment industry in half a year? If she doesn't get a brand endorsement for half a year, she won't be laughed at.
Bai Yue replied angrily, "Who told you not to participate in the shooting last time! The entire team of others was defeated by you, and you were banned from the entire circle that day. You still want to be invited by the brand? You don't want to think about yourself either. problem! In the end, I had to find someone to make up for the brand’s losses.”
"If you had accepted the photoshoot from the brand and endorsed that brand, you wouldn't have had to worry about this fashion week at all. The brand would have invited you directly!"
Bai Yue didn't know what to say, so she didn't mention it again, "Okay, aunt, I'm wrong this time and I'll pay attention to it next time. I didn't mean not to go that day. You also know that I'm not feeling well."
The apology and the soft words made Xu You's tone less cold than before, "Okay! The Bai family has a lot of things going on recently. It's a critical period, so please don't cause trouble for us. After this period of time, the Bai family will be in trouble." Once you are on your feet, I can give you as many resources as you want."
"Okay, I know you love me the most, aunt!" Bai Yue immediately approached Xu You with a smile, squeezed her shoulders and tapped her back.

Gu Mo was thirsty after walking for a while. She deliberately slowed down her car and looked at the convenience store on the side of the road. This was on the outskirts of City A, so there were very few shops around. It was difficult to stop and buy water.
Just a few hundred meters ahead, she finally saw a convenience store, and she quickly parked the car on the side of the road.
The roads here are still dilapidated and incomparable with those in the city center. It is estimated that they will need to be renovated in the next few years.
There are only mineral water and some sodas on the shelves of the convenience store. It is probably because there are too few people around to sell anything. Is the store trying to save costs?
After taking a bottle of mineral water and walking out of the store, I heard a quarrel coming from the alley next to me, "Please let me go! I really have no money, I didn't mean not to give it!"
This is the only shop I own. It has been listed in the agency for half a year and no one has come to buy it. What can I do?
I said I would give you my shop but you refused, and now you are forcing me to pay back the money. What should I do? Do you want to force me to death? "
"Old man, stop talking nonsense! You're a lousy shop in this area. You have a better idea! You can give me one hundred thousand yuan for a shop, and my head is fine! Stop talking nonsense. You must return the money to me today, or I will kill you. beat."
The voice sounded like a conversation between an old man and a middle-aged man. Gu Mo looked curiously into the alley.
The old man knelt down on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed to the strong man with the big gold chain, making a muffled sound every time.
"Please, I really have no money. I spent all my savings to save my grandson's life!"
"It's really not that I won't give you money."
The old man begged and kowtowed. His clothes were patched in many places. It was the cold wind blowing in late autumn, and you could see that there was nothing under the shabby clothes. His skinny hands were scratched on the cement floor. , and blood was constantly oozing from his head. The scene was extremely unbearable.
However, the strong man with the big gold chain didn't care at all. He flew up and kicked the old man on the shoulder, "Stop pretending to be poor for me! This is already the third extension of your principal, plus the interest, the total is one hundred thousand." ! It doesn’t matter if you lose a penny. If you can’t get it today, I will have to raise the money even if I tie you up and sell your organs!”
This kick was so strong that it knocked the old man half a meter away. When the old man raised his head, he realized that tears were already streaming down his face.
As if he realized that he couldn't escape today, his tears mixed with the red blood, which made Gu Mo's heart ache.
She was the most soft-hearted and could not see anyone bullying the old man. She took two steps forward and interrupted loudly, "How much does he owe you? I will pay for it for him."
The strong man turned to look at Gu Mo, looking her up and down, "Where does this girl come from and wants a beautiful woman to save her?"
Gu Mo rolled his eyes at her, "Let me ask you how much he owes you? I'll help him pay it!"
The big gold chain is a bit unbelievable. There are still people throwing money away for no reason these days?
"Stop playing tricks on me. You are his relative. What show are you playing with me here?!"
Gu Mo rolled his eyes again, stepped forward and helped the old man up from the ground, "Grandpa, don't worry, is your shop for sale?"
The old man staggered up from the ground and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, my shop has been listed to an agency for half a year. Unfortunately, no one has come to ask. I don't know what to do."
"Haha, who in this wilderness is going to buy this crappy shop like yours!"
The big gold chain then said fiercely, "Do you think you can deceive me by inviting someone to act with you? One hundred thousand yuan will not be a penny more or a penny less! Take it out, or you will have to go with me today." Let me go!"
Gu Mo didn't even think about standing in front of the old man. She looked around. The alley was indeed a bit shabby and there was a smelly ditch in the distance. From such a distance, she could smell the rotten smell coming from there. This shop The location is really not very good.
But if she remembered correctly, she had read in the news that China was going to vigorously control the environment. If the control came here one day, there might be a chance of improvement. This old man's shop was right in the middle of the road.
Gu Mo only took a few seconds to think before he spoke.
"How about this, grandpa, I will buy your shop. How much will you ask for it?"
My eyes widened, "What? You said you want to buy my shop? The location of this shop is not good, little sister."
"It's okay, don't worry, I can still afford a shop."
The old man hesitated a little, "Little sister, how about we ask the agency for the price?"
If you go to an agency and ask about the price, you have to pay the agency fee. It’s worth saving a little bit.
Gu Mo quickly shook his head as he thought about it, took out his phone from his pocket and went to the app to check the price of shops around here, which was about three hundred thousand.
The last sale was made a year ago.
"Grandpa, how about I give you 500,000 yuan to buy this shop?"
"Half a million!!? Isn't this too much!?"
The old man's hands were shaking in disbelief, and the big gold chain was a little confused, and he felt that the two people in front of him didn't look like they were acting.
"Didn't I tell you that you really have that much money? Did you spend half a million to buy this shabby shop?"
Gu Mori ignored his words and continued to say to his grandfather, "Grandpa, how much do you owe this man?"
"I owed him 60,000 yuan. Two months ago, I ran out of money for my grandson's surgery, so I had to ask him to borrow it. I couldn't figure out how it turned out to be 100,000 yuan."
Haha, this loan sharking is too blatant!
"Sixty thousand yuan turned into 100,000 yuan in two months. I said to you, brother, are you cheating?"
"What kind of money fraud? I signed this, the old man signed it himself! I didn't force him!"
"Fart, this old man is so old that he may not even be able to read clearly. If you signed the contract, it means you didn't sign it! Sixty thousand! I won't give you a penny more."
The big gold chain was immediately unhappy, "Sixty thousand, one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, believe me or not..."
"If you say a few more words, I will call the police immediately and accuse you of defrauding the elderly! Maybe I won't get the 60,000 yuan back by then. Think about it for yourself!"
Gu Mo hates this kind of liar who bullies the elderly. He is not vague at all when he speaks, and he is armed with a gun and a stick.
"you!"
The big gold chain was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was really afraid that this bitch would go to the police, otherwise all the bad things about him would be exposed at once. Recently, Huaguo has been very strict.
"Okay, okay, 60,000 is 60,000, give me the money right away!"
"Why are you so anxious? You have to promise me that you will never cause trouble to Grandpa again after you take the money. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."
The big gold chain immediately gave him a boost of energy. After being on the road for so long, this was the first time he met a woman who dared to threaten him.
He took a big step and shook off the fat on his body.
He raised his hand and was about to push Gu Mo's shoulder.
"What!? You still dare to threaten me? I've given you face. Do you believe it or not? I've put you..."
