176: Chapter 176 Redemption of the Old Store 176: Chapter 176 Redemption of the Old Store The people around saw the man knocked to the ground and suddenly, as though fueled by a surge of enthusiasm, they all surrounded the man and began kicking and punching him.

After Su Xuan and Mrs.

Bai Bai Xue returned home, Mrs.

Bai was particularly excited.

She heaped praises on Su Xuan in front of Bai Xue’s father, talking about Su Xuan’s remarkable abilities and willingness to help others, almost comparing him to a model young man of the new era.

Su Xuan really felt quite undeserving.

However, Father Bai was still unimpressed with Su Xuan.

Tired of his wife’s constant chatter in front of him, he slammed the table and yelled, “I don’t care what he’s like; if he can’t do something to satisfy me, he can forget about marrying Bai Xue, today is the last day.”

Having said that, Father Bai left the house.

After breakfast, Su Xuan told Bai Xue to take him to their old shop to have a look.

Bai Xue stared at Su Xuan, not knowing what trick he was planning to pull, nor did she have any idea how he could redeem their old shop.

Nevertheless, if he really managed to do it, she was certain her father would be extremely pleased.

Bai Xue accompanied Su Xuan to the old shop, which had become neglected and dilapidated over the years, losing all its past charm.

Just as Su Xuan planned to take a good walk around with Bai Xue, the rich second generation, Gou Dan, showed up inopportunely before them.

After his plans of beating Su Xuan turned sour, Gou Dan’s father decided to help Father Bai redeem the old shop in an attempt to secure Gou Dan’s position in Bai Family’s estimation.

He knew that if he could manage this favor, he would secure a firm standing in Father Bai’s heart.

No matter how many good deeds Su Xuan had done or how impressive he had been, it would all turn into a cloud of smoke because the old shop was a lifelong wish of Father Bai.

Wang Shan told Wang Chusheng that no matter what, he had to buy that old shop.

So, Wang Chusheng came prepared this time, with a substantial amount of money in hand, confident that he wouldn’t come up short as he had the last time, unable to afford even a piece of clothing worth one hundred thousand yuan.

Gou Dan, seemingly having forgotten the last beating, taunted Bai Xue, “Oh, Bai Xue and little security guard, what brings you here?

Is it to see your family’s old shop?

But what’s the use of looking at it?

With the little money the security guard has, I guess he can only afford a tile from this old shop.”

Bai Xue had grown increasingly disgusted with Gou Dan since the last time he harassed her, and seeing him appearing uninvited today made her very angry, yet she felt helpless.

She could only retort, “What’s that to you anyway?

You aren’t going to be the one to redeem it for me.”

Upon hearing this, Gou Dan perked up, placing his foot on the steering wheel of the car with brimming confidence, and said to Bai Xue, “I’m not hiding it from you, my princess.

I came here precisely to help you redeem this shop, as a display of my deep adoration for you.”

After hearing Gou Dan’s words, a flicker of anxiety crossed Bai Xue’s heart.

If the shop really was bought by Gou Dan, then no matter how much she tried to convince her father, he would probably not give up on her arranged marriage with Gou Dan.

“Pfft, I don’t need you to buy it for me.

I’m telling you, I have nothing to do with you, and you better not think about getting cozy with me,” Bai Xue said angrily.

But seeing Bai Xue angry, Gou Dan became even more pleased and said with schadenfreude, “You may not want to have anything to do with me, but your dad does.

Can you change your dad’s mind?”

At Gou Dan’s words, Bai Xue was left speechless.

“And you, little security guard, you little ****, always opposing me, not only seducing my fiancée, but also daring to hit me.

Today, let’s see who really has the power!” Gou Dan boasted after getting the advantage over Bai Xue and then turned to confront Su Xuan.

However, Su Xuan did not respond, as he could not be bothered to waste words on such a fool.

This silence was indeed the greatest rebuttal; when you insult someone and they show no response, indifferent, you become even more infuriated.

“Hmph, you think you’re rich?

You can buy Bai Xue one outfit, and that’s probably your limit, right?

I just don’t believe it.

How much power can a little security guard have?

If you really have the balls, buy this shop too.

If you can’t impress your future father-in-law, you might as well give up on Bai Xue,” Gou Dan attacked vehemently.

“Bai Xue, I’m telling you, not only this old shop, but even that old house of yours, I could buy it for you if I wanted to.”

At that moment, a middle-aged man came out of the shop, tall and skinny with a square face.

“Oh, isn’t this the Young Master Wang?

What brings you to my place today?”

The skinny, tall man, named Li Chushan, was the person to whom Bai Xue’s grandfather had sold the shop.

The main reason was that Li Chushan’s father, Li Lei, was also a gambler, and had won a fortune from the gambling-addicted Bai Ye.

Thus, Bai Ye gambled away the shop to Li Lei.

Although both Li Lei and Bai Ye have passed away, the Bai Family has not redeemed the old shop to this day.

“Old Li, you’re telling me that such a bustling shop fell into your hands and now it’s this rundown.

If I bring the money to buy this shop from you, would you be willing?” Gou Dan said to Li Chushan.

Li Chushan, like his father Li Lei, was also a gambling addict.

Recently, when he desperately needed money, he was thrilled to hear someone willing to take over the old shop from his hands.

So he enthusiastically said to Gou Dan, “Young Master Wang, you truly are my benefactor, knowing I’ve been short on cash and bringing money to me.

If you can offer a reasonable price, then naturally, the old shop will be yours.”

“Okay, how about I give you one million five hundred thousand yuan?

For this old ratty house, that’s probably more than enough!” The value of the property had been estimated by Gou Dan’s father at home, and Gou Dan, clueless about such matters, was merely parroting the figure to show off in front of Bai Xue.

After hearing the offer, Li Chushan hesitated a bit and asked Gou Dan, “I wonder if Young Master Wang could possibly raise the offer a bit more?”

However, before Gou Dan could answer, another voice chimed in, “I’ll offer three million yuan for your old shop, what do you think?”

Upon hearing this, Li Chushan immediately turned his head to look at the speaker.

The person speaking was, of course, Su Xuan.

However, when Li Chushan saw Su Xuan’s attire, he didn’t seem like a wealthy person, which made him skeptical, “You don’t look like a local, nor do you seem rich.

I’m wondering if your three million yuan is for real, or if you’re joking with me.”

“Of course he’s lying to you, Old Li.

Does he look like a rich guy to you?

Let me tell you the truth, he’s just a security guard,” Gou Dan interjected immediately.

Just then, Su Xuan picked up a plastic bottle from the ground, and with a “whoosh”, the bottle swiftly flew into Gou Dan’s mouth, effectively gagging him.

“Of course what I said is true, not a single word is false,” Su Xuan, with his hand on Bai Xue’s shoulder, replied to Li Chushan.

“Alright, if you really can offer three million yuan, then of course I’ll sell it to you,” Old Li said.

When Gou Dan finally pulled the bottle from his mouth, his lips were swollen and his speech unclear.

He shouted at Li Chushan, “Old Li, you had just agreed to sell to me, you can’t go back on your word now!”

Li Chushan could more or less understand what Gou Dan meant, but why would he settle for one million five hundred thousand when Su Xuan was offering three million?

So, he said to Gou Dan, “The highest offer wins, it’s only fair.

Besides, I didn’t agree to anything with you!”

Upon hearing Li Chushan’s changed attitude towards him, Gou Dan, having lost to Su Xuan so many times, couldn’t afford to lose again no matter what.

He hastily said, “Fine, if he offers three million, I’ll also offer three million.

Decide who you sell to.”

Hearing Gou Dan matching the offer of three million, Li Chushan immediately turned back, as if changing his face, and said to Gou Dan, “Then of course I’ll sell to you.

It’s a good opportunity to get closer to the town mayor, isn’t it!”

“I offer five million yuan!” Su Xuan called out from behind, his voice calm, showing no concern for the sum of money, the very picture of a tycoon.

Yet, Bai Xue on the side was getting anxious, pulling on Su Xuan and saying, “Stop shouting nonsense, do you really have that much money?”

Without answering, Su Xuan just kept staring at Li Chushan, while Gou Dan’s temper suddenly flared, shouting at Su Xuan, “Do you fucking have that much money?

What are you yelling about?”

At this moment, Li Chushan too was perplexed.

He found it hard to believe this person was a tycoon, as the bids were sharply increasing by the millions.

So he said to Su Xuan, “Alright, buddy, if you can prove you can afford five million yuan, I’ll sell the house to you immediately!”

Then, Li Chushan turned to Gou Dan and said, “Young Master Wang, you’re not planning to raise your bid, are you?”

Although Gou Dan’s family was affluent and politically connected, to be honest, three million yuan was already a significant amount for them; raising the bid would have been beyond him.

So he was unable to respond to Li Chushan and sat in the car with a face red with rage.

After finishing his statement, Su Xuan took out his phone and called his company’s secretary.

He instructed her to have the bank in Jingzhou City immediately deliver five million yuan in cash to his location.

The company secretary, Li Xiaoya, upon receiving Su Xuan’s order, promptly set about carrying out his instructions.

In less than ten minutes, a black sedan pulled up, and a man in a suit and tie stepped out.

After getting out of the car, the man asked, “Excuse me, which of you is Mr.

Su Xuan?”

“I am,” Su Xuan responded, thinking to himself that Li Xiaoya’s efficiency was quite impressive.
