Chapter 156: Chapter 156: If You Dare to Touch Zhi Zhi, I’ll Fight You to Death

The sales manager followed behind them, trembling with fear: "Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu, rest assured, we will handle the house and its procedures before Miss Gu’s birthday. We guarantee to choose the best house for Miss Gu. If there’s any issue, please contact us anytime..."

Halfway through his speech, the manager noticed Gu Zhi and others in the lobby and was momentarily stunned.

Isn’t that the recently internet-famous actress and her family?

How coincidental that both families came to look at houses!?

Isn’t this bound to get ugly on the spot?

Gu Mu also noticed Gu Zhi not far away, along with Father Qin and Mrs. Qin, and a hint of disdain and hostility surfaced in her eyes.

Gu Yiyi was even more surprised. They actually came here to look at houses too. Could Gu Zhi, with her income in the industry, really afford a house here!?

In just a few brief days?

But on second thought, she had just regained her popularity, only to be brought here by the Qin Family to buy a house. It seemed she wasn’t favored much in the Qin Family; it was all just an act.

The Qin Family has four sons; no matter how much money Gu Zhi can bring in, she’s just a money-making machine for the Qin Family.

If this matter were exposed, the Qin Family’s image of doting on their daughter and sister would immediately crumble.

Fortunately, she didn’t return to the Qin Family, or it would have been her experiencing this.

The Gu Family only ever dotes on her, gifting her expensive presents every birthday; this year it’s another house.

Gu Mu, her face turning cold, directly walked over and looked at them disdainfully: "You can afford a house here?"

Father Qin and Mrs. Qin furrowed their brows slightly, instinctively protecting Gu Zhi behind them as she approached, tightly gripping her wrist.

No one spoke, but Gu Mu couldn’t help but continue her sarcasm: "Also, it’s by stepping on my son to get to where you are; knowing people like you really taints my eyes."

Those around who heard this were all shocked, standing dumbfounded in the distance, too afraid to come forward.

Qin Ji’s eyes turned cold, about to say something, but was held back by Gu Zhi pulling his arm.

She lowered her eyes to look at Gu Mu, a hint of sarcasm appearing on her delicate face: "Mrs. Gu still has the mood to look at houses; has the matter with Third Young Master Gu plagiarizing academics been resolved?"

Mentioning this issue made Gu Mu even angrier, wishing she could rush over and teach this unfilial daughter a lesson.

Only under the public eye, she couldn’t make a move.

"You dare bring this up; you just want to use media pressure to vilify my son. You—you Qin Family are all vampires, not getting money from us, stepping on us to attract attention and profit from sympathy. Without us, how would you have what you do now, only to live in poverty your whole life!"

Gu Zhi laughed coldly, nodding approvingly, "Without your son to set off against, how would my brother’s excellence stand out? Indeed, we should thank you for the benefits you’ve brought us."

"Gu Zhi!"

Gu Mu was so furious her face turned red and her neck swelled as she raised her hand intending to teach her a lesson.

But Qin Ji blocked her with one hand, gripping Gu Mu’s arm so tightly it was nearly twisting it off, fiercely flinging her away before she could speak.

"If you dare touch Zhi Zhi once, I’ll fight you to the death." He warned coldly, his eyes filled with harshness, "Mrs. Gu looks down on us, wants to humiliate us, fine. But for everything your Gu Family used power to do to us, we will not easily accept it again; you will ultimately pay the price."

"You—" Gu Mu met his gaze, a hint of fear flashing across her face.

She gripped her wrist in pain, taking a step back.

Gu Yiyi saw this, her face changing repeatedly, supporting Gu Mu and unhappily looking at Qin Ji:

"Qin... Brother, my mother is still an elder, how could you treat her like this? Even for my sake..."

"For your sake, how much is that worth?" Qin Ji coldly interrupted, impatiently sweeping her a glance.

Gu Yiyi’s expression stiffened, unable to speak for a moment.

How could they all treat her like this? Even if she hadn’t returned to the Qin Family, she was still a top-stream celebrity sought after everywhere she went.

Isn’t she better than Gu Zhi, that vulgar fool?

Gu Mu was also trembling with anger, yet she was too lazy to confront them further and looked straight at the manager beside her:

"Xiao Wang, whatever house they want to buy, they’re not allowed to have it. I’ll buy it at a higher price." She looked disdainfully at Father Qin and Mrs. Qin, sarcastically remarking, "Since they want to exploit the poor to gain attention, they should live in a slum. How could they be fitting to live in a nice house like this?"

The manager named Wang, suddenly called out, was stunned, looking somewhat awkward.

They had seen so many like Mrs. Gu who wield their position to bully, and who didn’t feel sorry for the Qin Family after watching reality TV shows? The fact that they could buy a house was based on their own capability.

He quickly came up with an idea: "Mrs. Gu, but they’ve already paid and signed the contract. To buy, you’d have to buy it from them; why not have them name a price?"

Gu Mu: "..."

She took a deep breath in anger, nearly choking on it.

Were she to let that group of vampires from the Qin Family name a price, wouldn’t they open their mouths wide enough to kill her!

She pulled Gu Yiyi’s hand, furiously saying: "Yiyi, we won’t buy the house here, their bad luck rubs off on us. Mom will give you a better birthday gift. Let’s go look at the evening dress customized for you first."

As she finished speaking, she stormed off.

Behind her, Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief, unfazed by losing such a big customer.

Mrs. Gu was always hard to please, unwilling to spend money yet wanting the best. If she didn’t like their houses, why didn’t she buy the more expensive neighborhood next door?

It seemed Gu Yiyi wasn’t as favored in the Gu Family as the rumors had it.

He hurriedly approached Gu Zhi and the others, cordially asking: "Miss Gu Zhi, Aunt Qin, do you have a preferred house style? If not, you can take your time picking; we can have someone show you several more."

Gu Zhi slightly curled her lips, because of the previous matter had a good impression of him, directly handing him the floor plan in her hand, "This one is fine."

Manager Wang took it, glanced at it, and handed the document to the sales staff beside him, directly saying, "Go to the VIP room inside, sign the contract and handle the procedures directly."

Then he excitedly looked at Gu Zhidao: "Miss Gu Zhi, why didn’t God Qin come! I really enjoy watching him play games. Is there a chance I could get an autograph from him?"

"And you, my wife loves you and watches you at home every day! Could I get an autograph too?"

Gu Zhi: "..."

Before she could respond, a group of salespeople immediately gathered around, excitedly expressing:

"Zhi Zhi, I also really like you, could I get an autograph?"

"Zhi Zhi, I want one too!"

Gu Zhi pursed her lips, said a word of thanks, picked up a pen, and patiently signed them all.

The process was handled quickly; Gu Zhi initially wanted to contribute a token of appreciation, as a way to repay the original owner’s upbringing, but was strongly refused by Qin Ji, "You’re the youngest, we won’t spend your money. Keep your money for yourself; girls always need some money on hand."

Gu Zhi: "..."

Is it possible that the youngest is actually Qin Mo?

After completing all the procedures, they left the sales center.

It happened to be a shopping mall there, and Gu Zhi planned to take Father Qin and Mrs. Qin to buy some clothes.
