Reborn in the 80s, Get Rich by Eating Melons

Chapter 597: Chapter 597 Gu Hongwei Strikes Back

This woman is not ugly and quite attractive, and she can earn money. If I could really marry her, that seems pretty good.

If I don’t marry Guo Jinnian now, it seems that I can’t marry anyone else. Even if I do, I’m afraid I’ll only find a divorced woman. Although Chen Lao Wu has been married before, he feels that there’s no difference between him and a first marriage without children around.

I still want a young unmarried girl.

He put on a patient smile and said, "Jinnian, I admit that my tone wasn’t quite right before, please don’t be angry. I had some alcohol at noon and the effects haven’t worn off yet. I apologize to you."

The chasing Guo Laoniang quickly followed with an apologetic smile, "Yes, Jinnian, he drank too much at noon, don’t take it to heart what he said just now. Look, he’s apologizing to you now. Why don’t the two of you go talk privately?"

Guo Jinnian was almost nauseated to the point of vomiting. Who does Guo Laoniang think she’s fooling?

"Stop making me sick, or when my arm is better, none of you will have a good time."

Tong Yao ran out of patience at this point. She couldn’t figure out why these two people could be so shameless and disgusting.

The things they did and the words they said were simply not what normal people would say. Tong Yao even doubted if the two of them were sick.

Seeing this, Guo Laoniang quickly signaled to Chen Lao Wu. Chen Lao Wu understood and tried to grab Guo Jinnian’s hand, but was stared down by Guo Jinnian and withdrew his hand.

Thereupon, he nauseatingly said, "Jinnian, I’m not good at sweet-talking women, don’t be angry. I know that someone in the city has come to propose marriage to you, but marriage is about destiny. I may not sound as good as them, but I believe you’re not the kind of person who only looks at the surface and the money. After we get married, we can strive for what we want together. I don’t mind you being older and you shouldn’t mind me being divorced. Let’s just make do with each other."

"Do you have no shame? Who wants to settle for you?"

This speech infuriated Guo Jinnian to the point of explosion. She jumped up, wanting to hit someone, but was stopped by Tong Yao.

If she could hit him, she would have done so long ago. Guo Jinnian’s arm is still in plaster, if they really fight, they will inevitably hit his arm, and if it causes secondary damage and leaves any aftereffects, it would too late to regret..

She lowered her face, looked at Chen Lao Wu, her tone as cold as frost, "Chen Lao Wu, if your house has no mirrors, you might as well take a piss and look at your own reflection. What makes you think you and Jinnian are compatible? For a man like you who can’t even reach the corner of the table when you jump, who gave you the confidence to stand here and say these things? What do you even amount to?"

Chen Lao Wu didn’t expect Tong Yao, who looked frail, to speak so sharply. He was infuriated by Tong Yao’s words, but was also intimidated by Tong Yao’s aura.

However, as soon as he thought that Tong Yao was from Kyoto and had no backup here, he immediately became arrogant again, blushing with anger and saying, "Do you think you’re all that just because my mother gave you some face? You dare to insult me. Do you think you can get married just by proposing? Without my Chen Family’s approval, who dares to take her away?"

As Chen Lao Wu said, he raised his hand to hit someone, but suddenly heard a roar, "Stop."

Guo Jinnian and Tong Yao were about to kick someone but stopped at the same time. Turning their heads, they saw Gu Hongwei running over. He stood directly in front of Guo Jinnian and Tong Yao, frowning at Chen Lao Wu, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Hongwei had been waiting in the yard for Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian for a long time. Not seeing them return and just as the meal was ready at home, he came out to call them to eat, but as soon as he came out, he saw a man trying to hit someone.

Gu Hongwei was fortunate that he had come out in time. Seeing that the man was only as tall as his shoulder, Gu Hongwei breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wasn’t very good at fighting, this height difference clearly put him at an advantage.

Chen Lao Wu was of a timid nature and was somewhat intimidated by the taller and colder-looking Gu Hongwei,"Who are you?"

"My younger brother."

"My fiance."

Tong Yao and Guo Jinnian both spoke at the same time.

Upon hearing that it was Guo Jinnian’s current man, Chen Lao Wu felt even more cowardly. It seemed like this man was richer and better looking than him. It seemed that he was outmatched in every way. He had no advantage in trying to steal someone’s wife.

Chen Lao Wu was not stupid. He was somewhat deluded by Guo Laoniang’s flattery at first, but now that he saw Gu Hongwei, he sobered up. What did he have to compete with for his wife?

Out of the mentality of not to be defeated, Chen Lao Wu lifted his chin and said, "So, it’s you. I thought who it was."

Before Gu Hongwei could speak, he scoffed, "Brother, no offense, but you seem to have no taste in women. You even want a woman that no one else wants. You’re really not picky."

Knowing that he couldn’t compete, Chen Lao Wu simply tried to disgust Gu Hongwei.

Perhaps Gu Hongwei might get angry and not marry Guo Jinnian if he said so. That would suit him just fine. Otherwise, he doesn’t lose anything.

Guo Laoniang, who was bombarded with questions up until now, didn’t have the nerve to say a word at this time. Gu Hongwei and Chen Lao Wu could still be compared when they were not together, but when they stood together, it was like comparing chalk with cheese. Chen Lao Wu wasn’t even as good as a toad.

Even if she could talk nonsense, there was no way she could have lied with her eyes wide open at this moment. Even she felt that Chen Lao Wu was unbearable to look at.

"You..."

Guo Jinnian was just about to scold Chen Lao Wu, when she heard Gu Hongwei’s cold voice, "You just wanted to marry her but couldn’t, so you tried to smear her. Insects like you, who are in a cesspool, mention her name is an insult to her. You’d better not bother her anymore, otherwise I won’t let you go."

Chen Lao Wu didn’t expect Gu Hongwei to dare to threaten him. He was frightened and nervously asked, "Who are you intimidating? This is my turf. You won’t let me be. What can you do to me?"

Gu Hongwei squinted his eyes and threatened, "You tell me, if I were to spend ten thousand yuan on your life, would anyone be clamoring to take this deal?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Lao Wu’s legs went weak and he was almost scared to pee. His face turned pale and he dared not say a word.

Guo Laoniang had said that this man was from Kyoto and his family had so much money that they could buy up the whole city of An Cheng. Ten thousand yuan was a huge sum to him, but for Gu Hongwei it was probably just a drop in the bucket.

Not to mention ten thousand yuan. Even five hundred yuan, it was estimated that there were people who would want to take this deal.

The more Chen Lao Wu thought about it, the more frightened he became. After a while, he said, "Big.. big brother, let’s talk about things... I... I know I was wrong."

He was so scared that he was rambling, he quickly turned around and ran away with his bicycle.

Guo Laoniang was also startled by Gu Hongwei’s words. At this moment, she didn’t dare to say a word and wished she could disappear on the spot.

She just wanted to find a son-in-law, but she didn’t want to risk her life. She still wanted to live a few more years. Her family’s financial conditions have just improved over the past two years, and she didn’t want to die now.

Seeing Gu Hongwei looking over, she quickly stammered, "I... I better go now..."
