Chapter 312: 312 Home to a Fairy Wife!_1

Three Hundred and Twelve Homes with a Virtuous Wife

Gu Chen was naturally overjoyed by this and hurriedly stepped forward.

"We always have stock. I’ll just make a call to get another batch sent over. Second Brother, you go and make the delivery quickly. Don’t keep them waiting for too long," he said.

Gu He too nodded vigorously, saying repeatedly.

"I was so excited for a moment that I wanted to come over first to share this great news with you and sister-in-law."

Having said that, he turned around to prepare to retrieve the goods from the warehouse, but before he could even leave, he was stopped by Ji Pianran.

"Hey, wait a moment."

Gu He stopped in his tracks, puzzled, and turned to look at Ji Pianran who stood opposite him.

Beside her, Gu Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"Wife, is there anything else you need to remind him of?"

The smile on Ji Pianran’s face carried a hint of mystery as she gently instructed the two curious faces.

"We’ve only recently moved to this area. When Second Brother goes out to make deliveries, let’s not forget to also offer a fruit basket from our home to each of the neighbors in the community. It’s also a way of expressing our sentiments."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately understood the reason. He remembered clearly the chat he had earlier with the young widow - everyone in this community was either wealthy or noble.

These people were exactly the target audience for their fruit!

The fruits from Gu Chen’s space were claimed to be imported to avoid suspicions.

Yet the prices were indeed high, only affordable for the wealthy.

But speaking of the wealthy, the community was definitely full of them!

He nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes, Pian Ran is right. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and we’ll be living here long-term. We can’t avoid mutual help amongst neighbors, and with all the inconvenience we’ve caused lately, we should not be thrifty with this. Second Brother, remember to bring Qiao Hua too. He’s articulate, and we must convey our intentions properly."

Gu He instinctively looked over at Ji Pianran upon hearing these words.

Guai Guai, how much money would that be to give away?

Wasn’t it agreed that we would be careful with our finances, is this the way to do it?

He knew the fruits sold in their shop were high-end, priced at several times that of imported fruits.

Ji Pianran was now ready to give away so many for free, which made him wince at the thought of the cost.

He frowned slightly and couldn’t help but pull Gu Chen aside, muttering softly.

"Look, little brother, why don’t you persuade your wife to reconsider? Our neighborhood must have several hundred households at least. If we deliver a fruit basket to each home, our shop’s revenue for the next two or three days could be gone. I know the sister-in-law comes from a good background, but you can’t be so extravagant with money, can you?"

Of course, Gu Chen knew exactly what Ji Pianran was thinking.

He smiled faintly at his second brother.

"No worries, Second Brother. Go ahead and make the delivery. Even if we do lose money, it’s okay. As long as my wife is happy, even if the shop doesn’t make a profit, I am willing."

At these words, Ji Pianran almost shed tears.

Gu He scratched his head, seeing his younger brother so resolute.

Although he still felt Ji Pianran was being extravagant, he didn’t feel it appropriate to persuade further.

He then took the keys and left alone in a hurry to deliver the fruits.

Ji Pianran, seeing the perplexed yet restrained Gu Chen, couldn’t help but find it a little amusing.

She then walked over to him, tenderly straightening his slightly wrinkled collar, and softly explained.

"Our fruits are of excellent quality. Even those wealthy young heirs you mentioned before are scrambling to reserve them. They are the ones who really appreciate the good stuff. But the prices are too high for ordinary people to afford. Just now, I confirmed with Zhang Xiaoru that everyone living in our community is either rich or noble."

"Although we lose money on paper by giving out these fruit baskets, once they truly taste our fruits, they will definitely come back to support our business in the future. Moreover, we all live in the same community, and being so close, the losses can be made up in just a few days. Who knows, maybe some of our neighbors will become our shop’s loyal customers in the future."

Gu Chen listened to this rationale and immediately gave Ji Pianran a thumbs-up.

"She’s truly my wife!"

"Indeed, a wise wife makes for an easy life. Pian Ran, you’re really amazing. Such a huge market was right in front of us, and if it hadn’t been for your reminder, I might have forgotten about these people!"

People, after all, need to feel their existence. Although Gu Chen knew what his wife’s motive was, to make her happy, he pretended to be clueless.

Having said that, he immediately gathered Ji Pianran into his arms.

Ji Pianran was startled, her face flushing red with embarrassment, and she couldn’t help but quickly clench her little fists.

She punched him lightly but firmly twice, pouting as she said,

"Let me go quickly, there are people watching behind us."

Gu Chen paused when he heard this, and then looked up to indeed see that Zhang Xiaoru, the third wheel, had not left.

She seemed to be standing not far away, watching their affectionate display, wiping away tears.

This left him somewhat speechless, but he also knew that in those times, even husband and wife wouldn’t show too much intimacy in public.

He looked down again at his wife’s blushing cheeks in his embrace, hesitated for three seconds,

and then finally, with some reluctance, released Ji Pianran’s attractive, curvaceous body.

...

However, just as Gu Chen’s business was thriving, in another spacious estate.

At that moment, there was a man with a gloomy, water-like countenance, clenching a stack of photographs so tightly that his fingers turned slightly white.

Looking at the pictures of the happy family of three, a towering jealousy and anger were nearly enough to engulf him completely.

"Ji! Pian! Ran!"

The sound of teeth gritting came from his mouth, as a murderous intent emanated from his body.

"Why, why?"

In an instant, he tore the photographs into shreds.

"How can you leave me and still manage to smile, why?"

In that moment, his eyes turned incredibly wild.

The muscles in his strong, slender arms bulged with fury, with veins even visibly throbbing on his face and the back of his hands.

"Why did you marry someone else, why!

In what way am I, Xu Qingmu, inferior to that piece of trash? Ji Pianran, why did you do this!"

His heart was instantly filled with resentment and unwillingness.

"Smash!"

He furiously smashed a wine glass on the table to the ground.

The crimson liquid quickly stained the rosewood floor beneath his feet with a blood-like hue.

However, he had no reaction, merely gazing coldly at the scene before him.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was another round of punching and kicking, accompanied by a woman’s painful moans.

A tall woman dressed in a red evening gown could be seen.

Crouching at his feet, she was pleading continuously in a curled-up position.

Yet Xu Qingmu showed no mercy towards her.
