The Rebirth of an Orphan

Gu Lun laughed and said, "You are indeed a very smart girl. Yes, the shop is mine now. If you want to rent it, you can only talk to me."

Zhao Xihua’s guess was right, this person had a purpose.

Although Gu Lun was very smart, Zhao Xihua hated the way he controlled people. Even if what he did was to help her, she didn't like such a person.

Zhao Xihua's expression remained calm: "Mr. Gu stood up for me today so you want to ask me for a reward, right?"

Gu Lun also said calmly: "Miss Zhao Si, you are very smart."

"Mr. Gu, you are too kind." Zhao Xihua wanted to see what Gu Lun wanted her to do.

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Xihua and asked, "I heard that you broke up with the Zhao family?"

Zhao Xihua didn't expect him to ask this. She nodded and said, "In this life, you should live for yourself once. You can't always live for others and your family. Isn't this weird?"

Gu Lun smiled faintly again: "I heard that Miss Zhao Si was kicked out of the family because of her improper behavior, and I also heard that Miss Zhao Si's improper behavior seems to have something to do with the eldest young master of the Sun family?"

Zhao Xihua felt angry when she heard this. Did she need him to question whether her behavior was proper?

But considering that he saved her, he did not get up and leave immediately.

She suppressed her anger, looked at Gu Lun and said, "The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. I don't know why Mr. Gu cares about this issue?"

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Xihua's ugly face. He didn't expect that Zhao Xihua's face would change when he mentioned Sun Xiao. He felt a little unhappy in his heart, and his tone was a little cold: "Fourth Miss, you are also a smart person. Although I offended the Ling family today, if the Ling family wants to deal with you, do you think you can escape?"

Zhao Xihua knew that he was right and that she had indeed gotten into big trouble. She did not want to come into conflict with these noble families, and she did not have the ability to compete with a family like the Ling family.

"Just tell me what you want to say or do." Zhao Xihua really didn't like the person in front of her. He was really hard to figure out.

Gu Lun looked at Zhao Xihua's angry expression and suddenly found it funny. He couldn't help but want to tease her, but he also knew that he had to be careful and not go overboard.

He placed the teacup in his hand on the table and said to Zhao Xihua, "I don't have any ill intentions. I just have one condition. If you want to rent this shop, no matter what business you do, you must be a partner with me."

Zhao Xihua was a little dumbfounded. She thought the other party would make some harsh demands, but she didn't expect that he just wanted to do business with her. Why was it so strange?

He is a person that the young master of the Deng family values ​​highly. He should not be interested in this small business, right?

"What? You don't want to?" Gu Lun stood up slowly. He was tall to begin with, and suddenly standing in front of Zhao Xi's screen gave her an invisible pressure.

He leaned over to Zhao Xihua, his thin lips curled up with a hint of wickedness, "I'm telling you, Zhao Xihua, you have no choice. From tomorrow on, no matter what business you start, I will be your financial officer. My salary will be based on Yuncheng's standards. It's not high, and I think you can afford it. When you've made up your mind, come find me at Yuelai Hotel."

After Gu Lun finished speaking, he placed a document on the table and turned away. She took it and saw that it was a rental contract, but the content of the contract made her angry.

According to the rental standards in Yuncheng and the previous rental prices, her monthly rent of 5,000 yuan should be considered high. Unexpectedly, he would ask for 6,000 yuan a month, and he would use the extra 1,000 yuan as an investment in the store, and he would receive dividends every month afterwards.

Zhao Xihua looked at the contract written in black and white in front of her and was so angry that she almost bit her lips. This unscrupulous businessman was so despicable. She always felt that he was not a decent person.

Could it be that he wanted to do some business without telling the Deng family? Never mind, such a cunning person, no matter what she said or did, he would definitely force her to surrender.

Zhao Xihua now just hopes that this man is not serious, and just wants to have fun on a whim. Maybe he will get tired of it and leave after a while.

As soon as Zhao Xihua walked out of the door of the beverage shop, she ran into Pingshui and Uncle Lin who had just returned from outside. When Pingshui saw her, he immediately pulled her over to look her up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that nothing was wrong.

"Sister, we just saw Mr. Gu leaving." Pingshui carefully looked at the expression on Zhao Xihua's face.

Zhao Xihua pursed her lips and said, "I understand. Let's go back too."

She paused and looked at Uncle Lin again, "Uncle Lin, tomorrow you can arrange for someone to clean up the shop opposite, and also clean up the house with a yard at the back. Then Pingshui and I will move in there."

"Sister?" They were both a little stunned. Hadn't the store been negotiated yet?

Zhao Xihua really felt a little tired, and she didn't want to explain too much. "Just do as I say. The house that the young master gave us is not suitable for us to live in. It's better to move out."

Uncle Lin sighed secretly after hearing this. It seemed that the young lady no longer had any feelings for the young master. The young master must be disappointed.

Zhao Xihua thought about it and explained: "Now everyone is gossiping about me and the young master. Living there will make people even more suspicious. You just listen to me."

There was nothing more they could say, especially Pingshui. Her sister was a person with her own ideas, so she just had to follow her sister and do whatever she wanted.

So Uncle Lin drove them back to the villa. Zhao Xihua asked Uncle Lin to deliver 6,000 yuan and the contract she signed to Gu Lun of Yuelai Hotel.

So many bad things happened today, she also needs some quiet time to think and sort out her thoughts.

After taking a bath, she sat at the table in the bedroom and began to make a list of the materials needed for the Chinese medicine clinic bit by bit. She couldn't think about those troubles now and could only focus on letting them go.

"Sister, Uncle Lin is back and brought news from Mr. Gu." Pingshui walked in quickly from outside.

After hearing this, Zhao Xihua hurriedly put on some clothes, walked out of the bedroom, and went to the study next door, where Uncle Lin was already waiting.

"How is it? Is there any problem?" Zhao Xihua asked hurriedly. She was dealing with Gu Lun now, and she didn't know why she always felt inexplicably uneasy.

Uncle Lin said: "Mr. Gu has already accepted the money and the contract, and asked his men to collect them, but..."

"Just what's wrong?"

Uncle Lin had a strange look on his face. "It's just that Mr. Gu said he wanted to work as the financial officer of the clinic run by the young lady for a while."
