Chapter 462: Chapter 462 Mother and Child (3)

Zhou Xiaoyun was utterly mortified by the straightforward declaration from the child across from him, becoming so flustered and irritated that he pointed at the two of them, "What are you doing standing here? What is it, you also want to sneak into the master’s warehouse?"

"Didn’t my wife just say?" Li Sitong spoke, "How could grandma’s valuable items be stored here? Mo Fei, have you searched through every nook and cranny in grandma’s house and found nothing you wanted, only to turn back to grandma’s warehouse?"

With that remark from the child, it seemed like he struck a nerve again.

Zhou Xiaoyun was almost wide-eyed and dumbfounded staring at the two of them.

Who are these people? How are they so clever?

Zhou Xiaoyun seemed to reconsider his plan, strolled past them with his hands behind his back, and turned to ask them, "Where did you say you were from? What were your names again?"

"Old man, you don’t need to know that."

The child directly rejected the request of a thief.

Zhou Xiaoyun was so choked up he almost spat out blood and turned to leave.

Gu Nuan watched as his figure seemed to hurriedly vanish into the night, but knew this man would definitely not give up so easily, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to grandma Zhou’s place time and time again.

The question was, why was this man so obsessed with Grandma Zhou’s belongings? Gu Nuan only remembered, this man said he wouldn’t sell the land, then after hearing Grandma Zhou wanted to sell the land, he started visiting frequently.

"What are you thinking about?" the child pouted slightly. Whenever she focused on someone, he couldn’t help feeling jealous.

It would be best if her gaze contained only him.

Gu Nuan calmly turned her head, looked at him, and asked, "What treasure did you find on my aunt’s mountain?"

The mountain owned by Aunt Qiu was sold to him, but why he was interested in that particular piece of land remained a mystery. Of course, the location seemed a bit profitable, but the airport highway could take years to construct unless he intended to hoard the land.

Initially, that was all she could think of. Now, the more she thought about it, the more it didn’t add up; he was not that kind of speculator.

Xiao Yebai raised an eyebrow and smiled at her, "My Nuannuan is indeed clever."

"Tell me honestly, what did you find in her mountain? That ten million I quoted, how much did I underestimate?"

"Probably by about a hundred times."

He thought this statement might shock her, but there was no expression on her face. He then realized she had guessed it all, albeit too late.

The deal had already been negotiated.

Gu Nuan had every reason to believe that this man, during the initial negotiations, probably had everyone around him, including Li Sitong who helped in the business talks, completely deceived. Because she remembered Li Sitong’s expression at the time, it wasn’t deceitful; ten million was their bottom line. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sold Aunt Qiu’s land so readily for ten million.

Of course, she had been cautious and insisted that Aunt Qiu not rush to collect the entire ten million, advising her to invest five million in their project just in case. Now, it seemed her scheming still couldn’t outmatch this man in front of her.

His hand then embraced her, resting on her shoulder, whispering in her ear, "Didn’t I tell you before? At most you were just a White Flower Snake. Now, you’ve grown quite rapidly, turning into a crocodile."

Was that supposed to be a compliment?

Gu Nuan couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. This man was clearly sharp as a tack, yet occasionally liked to play the fool.

"Did you tamper with the details in the contract?" Gu Nuan knew where the mistake was. It was that this man had meddled in the specific terms of the deal.
