Chapter 40.1: 谋划

[Conspiracy]

That madam looked at woefully kneeling on the floor, not longer like her previous kind of gorgeous woman. She was somewhat disgusted and said: “Then you first tell me, where is the land deed?”

When she said these words, her eyes were like hawks and falcons(brutal or fierce people) staring at Boss Qiao, as if Boss Qiao only had to say one false word, she would immediately pounce on her and tear her to shreds.

Boss Qiao pursed her lips which had started to dry up at some point, and after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke directly, “The land deed is in the Gu family!”

The madam frowned at her words, a puzzled expression all over her face, seemingly somewhat unable to recall which Gu family was that. But soon she didn’t want to try to remember it, she stretched out her foot and kicked the woman on the ground. She asked with a disdainful face, “You’re talking about that Gu family?”

Boss Qiao didn’t know what she remembered, her face was unpleasant for a moment, but she still answered her honestly, “That Gu family that was wiped out ten years ago.”

Hearing that the shop was actually owned by the Gu family, the madam l’s face also became ugly for a few minutes, she stared at the woman on the ground and asked suspiciously, “Since it’s owned by the Gu family, how did it get into your hands?”

Boss Qiao’s eyes flickered a bit, obviously not very eager to talk about it.

That madam, however, had already been evoked by her, where there was still room for her to hide, and immediately grabbed her hair to make her look directly at herself, and said roughly, “Speak!”

Boss Qiao was pulled and her scalp became numb. Looking at that madam who has several fierce faces, she said the origin of this shop, “I got it from the Chen family.”

The Madam: ???

She looked down at the woman at her feet yet she was a little confused why this shop is involved with so many connection, at the same time, she also began to get impatient, “Damn it, what the hell! You have something to say, then say it. Do not say a little bit at once, I, this old lady, do not have so much time to waste it on you here.”

Boss Qiao looked at that madam’s gradually furious face, gently licked her own lips, and finally told the matter as it was, “Back then, when the Gu family was in trouble, there were quite a few properties under their name that were divided up, and this shop was the one that the Chen family was divided up into at that time. It’s just that at that time, because Gu family was completely destroyed, they didn’t find the deed of this shop. Master Chen and I had a little friendship, and then after we separated, he gave me this shop as compensation.”

When the madam heard her words, she could not help but know that there was something fishy going on, it must be that this little slut seduced Chen Old Master, wanting to use it to enter the Chen family’s door, who knew that it didn’t work out the way she wanted it to, and she got this shop as compensation.

That madam laughed pfft, looking at that keep silent woman, and sarcastically said, “You do have guts, a shop without a land deed, you still dare to open it for so many years.”

A few moments of embarrassment surfaced on Boss Qiao’s face, she muttered in a low voice, “Originally, no one would have thought that the Gu Family brat would even show up alive!”

Both Boss Qiao and Chen Old Master had thought that people from Gu family had died out, thinking that no one would ever show up again, so what did it matter if there was a land deed or not, no one would come to grab it anyway. If not for this woman who had pushed her so hard today, she wouldn’t have told the truth.

After Boss Qiao said these words, he quietly looked at the madam’s expression and when she saw that the anger on her face gradually dissipated by a few points, she make persistent efforts and said, “If you ask for this shop, it’s likely that chronic invalid man will come to your door on that day.”

That madam snorted, as if mocking her naivety, “Am I still afraid of a short-lived ghost like that that captures on love affairs?”

Boss Qiao looked at her and complimented, “You’re naturally not afraid of him, but it will just be a bit of a hassle after all. In case I give you the shop on one end, and then he looks for the land deed and asks me to return the shop to him, then you’ll lose more than you gain. Moreover, what I’m returning is real money, isn’t it much safer than this shop which may be taken away at any time?”

That madam looked at her with a few more scrutinizing eyes, as if she was thinking about how credible or reliable what she said was, and finally, as if she had weighed up the results, she kicked the person who was picking at her legs away with a cold snort, and said perfunctorily, “If that’s the case, then you’ll have to think of way to return the money to me. If I don’t see the money in ten days, you should know the consequences.”

“Hn, I understand.”

Hearing that madam say this, Boss Qiao knew that her shop was saved for the time being, and with a sigh of relief, she agreed to her terms.

That madam looked at her and laughed softly, then left with a few household servants behind her.

Only until that madam had gone far away, the young waiter who had been quietly watching from the side, nimbly ran over and helped Boss Qiao stand up. Looking at her worriedly, he then asked, “Boss, what should we do next?”

Boss Qiao stood up from the ground. The expression of weakness in front of the madam just now had disappeared, replaced by a coldness that ignored everyone as she softly said, “What should we do? There must be a way.”

Boss Qiao just had a moment when she suddenly figured out what she want to do. The moment that good for nothing from the Gu family came back, she had investigated him and knew that he was still living in his previous mansion that looked like a haunted house. Then by chance, she also had learnt that the ger who made her incredibly jealous was the one the Chen family had stuffed into Gu Lang as his wife in order to put him off.

In the flash of light just now, when she knelt down at that madam’s feet, Boss Qiao suddenly came up with a great idea, which was that she could totally go to the Gu family’s mansion, tie Gu Lang up while he was alone, and force him to ask from Chen Xing’s recipe for making desserts before getting him killed.

Boss Qiao felt that as long as she did it cleanly, no one would find out about this, and then she wouldn’t have to worry about any trouble. When the time comes, she would not only be able to keep her shop permanently, but she would also be able to sell that recipe to make another large sum of money.

“B, boss, what do you want to do?”

The shop assistant looked at the smile on Boss Qiao’s face from the side and suddenly shivered, he always felt that she was planning something terrible.

Boss Qiao looked at the waiter’s shivering appearance and smacked his head in displeasure as she was ashamed of him. Not satisfied, then she said, “Look at your disgraceful appearance. Your boss, I’m going to do something big. If you hold me back then, see how I’ll punish you!”

The young waiter swallowed his saliva and nodded with ‘alarming heart and leaping body’.

Boss Qiao looked at his wimpy face and hooked up half of her lips. She had to go back and devise a complete plan, lest something slip up when the time came. She had to make sure her plan was no danger of anything going wrong.
