Chapter 172: Chapter 114: Sun Miao throws caution to the wind! A matter of taboo? (Subscribe please!)

Gao Jun knew Gu Wenhua probably wasn’t at home.

After all, if he were home, Sun Miao would have asked him to step out for a private talk.

Thinking about how Gu Wenhua, a man in his fifties, managed to get rich by taking advantage of the market boom, and even married the gentle, beautiful Miao to bring home.

He couldn’t help but muse, "When standing at the blowing wind, even pigs can fly."

But now, this "pig" and his daughter had both been scammed out of money, which gave Gao Jun a considerable amount of relief.

It was just a pity for Sun Miao, who had to clean up the mess.

Following his memory, Gao Jun arrived at the entrance and pressed the doorbell.

After a short while.

Sun Miao opened the door.

She greeted him with a smile, "Little Jun, you’re here."

Gao Jun looked at her and responded, "Miao, are you alone?"

"Yeah, he went fishing." Sun Miao laughed awkwardly, "This fishing is just like gambling, unlucky every time."

Gao Jun then entered the house.

During this, he didn’t notice the change on Sun Miao’s right face.

Because she was half-facing him, and she’d also let her hair down to cover it.

At this moment, seeing that Gao Jun hadn’t noticed anything, Sun Miao let out a slight sigh of relief.

She then asked Gao Jun to take a seat while she began to make tea.

Gao Jun sat down, gazing at her graceful figure and couldn’t help but feel pity.

If it hadn’t been for his mother falling ill and needing money urgently, perhaps Gu Wenhua wouldn’t have been able to get her at such a "bargain."

Maybe she would have found a man her age with a complementary personality to spend the rest of her life with.

By then, the smile on her face would probably be much more than now.

Perhaps concerned that Gao Jun was getting impatient, Sun Miao brought the tea set to him and apologized, "I’m not really good at making tea, so it took a bit longer."

"No problem."

Gao Jun just quietly watched her making the tea.

Facing him, Sun Miao looked refined, elegant without being pretentious.

Her facial features were smooth and graceful, like a delicate sketch where every detail was just right, her skin fair and smooth, seeming even more polished by time.

With her full and proportionate figure, curvaceous and beautiful.

She exuded a mature charm.

After a short while.

The tea was ready.

Sun Miao passed the cup to Gao Jun and said, "Here, I’ve made it."

"Thank you," Gao Jun took a sip and couldn’t help but praise, "Miao, your tea is great, delicious."

"You must be exaggerating." Sun Miao smiled, "I’m really not skilled at making tea."

"It’s genuinely good." Gao Jun replied.

He then looked up and asked, "Miao, how can I help you?"

"At present, our company needs at least 7 million for raw materials and to replace the production line equipment. I’ve already had someone sell the car; together with some savings, we can make up 2 million, but there’s still a shortfall of 5 million." Sun Miao awkwardly continued, "Little Jun, I was wondering if I could borrow some from you."

Listening to her, Gao Jun also pondered deeply.

A few days earlier, because he had donated 1 million in sponsorship to a nursing home.

The system returned him five times the amount.

He had just over 5 million in his account.

So, Gao Jun said, "I can, but if Mr. Gu learns the money is a loan from me, I guess he might feel too embarrassed. Haven’t you thought about taking out a bank loan?"

Sun Miao sighed, "We borrowed from the bank half a year ago to modify two production lines. The economy has been bad in the last two years; we’ve been losing money. It was only this year that the situation somewhat improved, and there was a large order, so we thought we’d take on a big one."

"But greed can lead to ruin. We shouldn’t try to live beyond our means. Just as we were doing that, two of the production line machines broke down. To replace them, we need 5 million, and another 2 million for raw materials afterward."

"If that bastard Gu Wenhua hadn’t lent all the money to Gu Feier, we might have just about managed this difficulty. But now, except for this house, we’re really at the end of our rope." Sun Miao said with a mixture of self-mockery, "Three years ago, I was still dreaming of buying a large flat in your complex, but now I might end up having to mortgage the house."

Gao Jun nodded, "Yes, the economy has been poor these past two years; many SMEs went bankrupt. The fact that you’ve lasted is impressive. You should readapt to make big money this year, but who’d have expected to be swindled like this?"

Just then.

He noticed some redness and swelling on Sun Miao’s right face.

There was also the mark of fingers.

Gao Jun carefully probed, "Miao, what happened to you?"

Sun Miao paused, then awkwardly replied, "Nothing, just had a little accident."

Gao Jun, of course, did not believe such an excuse.

He asked directly, "Did he hit you?"

And it was this concern that broke Sun Miao’s façade.

Her eyes reddened slightly, she pressed her lips together, and finally nodded, "Yes..."

"Let me see."

Gao Jun said while carefully brushing her hair aside.

Indeed.

The left side of her face was fine.

But the right side was swollen from the slap.

And the imprint of the hand was still visible.

"Should I call the police? I’ll help you," Gao Jun offered.

Sun Miao shook her head, "It’s the first time he hit me, and it was just this slap. If the police come, they’ll probably just give him a warning, make a big issue small, and a small issue even smaller. It’s no use."

"That’s not okay."

This time, Gao Jun was firmly against the idea.

Although he didn’t have many interactions with Sun Miao.

He still vividly remembered Mr. Gu’s previous bad treatment towards him.

So he certainly couldn’t let this father and daughter off the hook.

Gao Jun immediately asked, "Where’s the fridge?"
