Chapter 500: Chapter 500 Many Doubts

Su Hui came back, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Gu Fan lying half on the sofa, looking very dull, as if he was in some kind of distress.

"What’s the matter? Did something shock you? You don’t look too good." As Su Hui spoke, she walked to Gu Fan and waved her hand in front of Gu Fan’s face.

"Stop fooling around. I can’t figure something out, and I hope you can give me some advice." Gu Fan put on a serious face, and the look told Su Hui that he was really serious, so Su Hui quickly put away her playful mood and started to carefully listen to Gu Fan’s following words.

Gu Fan sighed slightly as if he was sorting out his thoughts and determining where to start.

"First off, do you know what kind of condition the big boss on the island proposed when I went to ask for his help?" Gu Fan’s question immediately aroused Su Hui’s curiosity: "Yeah, how could that devil help you so easily? He must have set harsh terms."

Gu Fan nodded: "The conditions were really harsh, he proposed to buy my old house."

Upon hearing this, Su Hui frowned: "What? That devil is interested in your old house? You can’t seriously be considering selling it to him, where would I live? It’s so hard to find a landlord who doesn’t raise the rent these days. "

Gu Fan smacked his forehead, feeling a headache coming on, while Su Hui immediately admitted she was wrong, promised not to cause chaos again, and let Gu Fan continue.

"Initially I thought the big boss was joking. I didn’t think someone like him would lack a house to live or really want my old house. However, some recent events have made me feel something’s not right." Gu Fan’s expression was a bit serious, which made Su Hui realize something must have happened to trigger this feeling in Gu Fan.

Gu Fan continued: "Next came Zhang Yang. I didn’t expect him to be from one of the six tenant families who used to live in our old house – the Zhang family. I find it strange because the Zhang family moved out a long time ago. Zhang Yang didn’t grow up in the old house, so he shouldn’t have any sentimental attachment to it."

Su Hui immediately nodded and agreed: "Exactly, the old house looks so shabby from the outside that no one would want to live in it. If I hadn’t been desperate at the time, there’s no way I would’ve moved in."

Hearing this, Gu Fan rolled his eyes: "Are you regretting moving in? You can still change your mind..." Before Gu Fan finished, Su Hui rushed up and got him in a cross lock. She even snorted coldly, "What do you mean? Are you trying to kick me out because you’re too scared to raise my rent?"

"No, no, Sister Su, I hope you stay forever, really. I feel a lot safer having you here with me." The only thing Gu Fan could do was utter this insincere phrase, which finally got Su Hui to spare him for the moment.

"Alright, let’s get back to the topic." Gu Fan spoke as he rubbed his arms, which felt like they had almost been broken by Su Hui just now.

"Yesterday, Zhang Yang mentioned the old house again, I casually welcomed him to stay, but he earnestly agreed and wanted to move in." Gu Fan finished saying this, the corners of his mouth ticked up as if he had discovered something: "Because of this, I got suspicious of Zhang Yang. What exactly does he want with the old house, why is he so eager to move in?"

"Could it be that this Zhang Yang is interested in you?" After Su Hui finished her sentence, Gu Fan almost fell over. If he wasn’t afraid of losing in a fight, Gu Fan would’ve punched her.

Gu Fan suppressed his anger and continued: "I told my father about this, about inviting a friend to move in, can you guess what happened next?"

Su Hui had a puzzled expression on her face: "Wait, your dad wants you to charge him rent?"

Hearing this, Gu Fan frowned in despair, and motioned with his hand: "Alright, Sister Su, please stop guessing, I can’t think straight with your wild guesses."

"How did I disrupt your thoughts? You’re the one who asked me to guess, I’m not a tapeworm in your stomach, how would I know what you’re thinking..." Su Hui started to chastise him, and Gu Fan quickly begged for mercy: "Alright alright, Sister Su, I was wrong. Can we be serious now?"

Su Hui snapped back, looking angry: "Which of your eyes didn’t see me being serious?"

Gu Fan almost passed out,— he wondered if this was his karma. Was it payback for what he did to Ning Qi, and now Su Hui is doing the same to him?

Regardless, Gu Fan went on with his story: "When my father found out that Zhang Yang was coming, he rushed over. He confronted Zhang Yang, telling him not to set his sights on the old house. He also told him that since the Zhang family gave up the old house, they shouldn’t think about moving back in. That was the general idea."

After hearing this, Su Hui was baffled: "What’s going on? Is your father worried that Zhang Yang is going to fight you for the old house?"

Gu Fan shook his head: "I don’t think that’s the case. There is no reason for Zhang Yang to fight with us for the house. He didn’t grow up in the old house so he should have no emotional attachment to it. But my father is very wary of Zhang Yang which is very curious to me. It also seems that Zhang Yang is strangely interested in the old house."

Su Hui began to counsel: "Oh, maybe your father just has a feud with Zhang Yang’s family. Don’t overthink it."

"I wish I was overthinking it, but guess who came over just now." After saying this, Gu Fan immediately regretted it and quickly added: "Please, Sister Su, don’t guess anymore. Let me tell you directly, it was Ning Qi. Ning Qi came to see me."

"What, you secretly met with Ning Qi behind Lin Xi’s back? If you don’t want me to tell Lin Xi, you must reduce my rent by half this month." After Su Hui said this, Gu Fan really wanted to charge at her and hit her, even if he couldn’t beat her.

Gu Fan held back his anger and started begging: "Sister Su, please show some professionalism and help me out, my head’s about to explode."

"Okay, okay, I won’t interfere anymore. You can talk." Su Hui also realized that continuing to mess with Gu Fan like this would likely drive him crazy, she decided she should cooperate with him.

Gu Fan let out a sigh: "Ning Qi came just now. She said she was representing Shennv Xuanhui and wanted to discuss terms with me. She said they wanted to test my feelings for Lin Xi, so she asked me to use our old house as a token of goodwill. Then, Shennv Xuanhui would let Lin Xi go."

"What? Another person who’s interested in your old house?" This time, Su Hui also found it strange. She looked around the room once again, and had a feeling that this old house was not as simple as it appeared.

Gu Fan frowned and added: "I don’t know whether this is a coincidence or if there’s a bigger story behind all this. I want to make a plan to check on everything, so I need your help, Sister Su."

"So, we have another game to play." Su Hui’s mouth curled up, revealing an excited expression.
