Chapter 295 Make Many Friends
"That second young master must be the man who was harassing Xianxian that you met in Tianxiang Tower." Tong Huaqiong said.
Gu Dashu admired Tong Huaqiong's insight even more.
My guess was really accurate.
Liu Yue'e said sarcastically, "If you hadn't tried to be a hero and saved the beauty, Xianxian wouldn't have come to pester you, let alone make me angry. He's Jin Fengxiang's second son, maybe he's Xianxian's old lover, but you went to save him without knowing anything about the situation. I'm afraid that your rescue has interrupted their fate and she will hate you."
Gu Dashu felt that Liu Yue'e's sarcasm made sense.
Tong Huaqiong glanced at Liu Yue'e, and Liu Yue'e shut up.
Tong Huaqiong asked Gu Dashu: "What do you think of the whole thing?"
Gu Dashu said, "Mom, do you think it was the second son of Jin Fengxiang who deliberately set a trap to frame me, just like I set a trap to get Feng Chuan to fall into it. As the saying goes, prostitution and gambling can ruin a person. I used gambling to beat Manager Feng. Would the second son of Jin Fengxiang also want to use the same method? I remembered your lesson and never dared to go to the casino since I came to the capital. I didn't even dare to pass by. He saw me going to Tianxiang Tower to promote our birthday cake and thought I was... I was some kind of playboy, so he and Miss Xianxian set this trap to get me into it."
"Of course, this is just my guess."
Tong Huaqiong nodded approvingly.
Gu Dashu’s experience was not in vain. His business thinking has become more mature in the past six months and he can now grasp the key to the problem.
Analyzing the problem is even more on point.
Tong Huaqiong said: "Yes, that's true."
Gu Dashu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his guess was actually true.
"No, mother, I just guessed it, and I guessed it right." Gu Dashu looked excited and said, "But how did you know it?"
Tong Huaqiong said, "I figured it out all night last night, and then I went to Tianxiang Tower early in the morning, and I really got it out of Mo Mama and Xianxian."
Gu Dashu was confused again. It was obvious that Miss Xianxian was conspiring with the second son of Jin Fengxiang to plot against her, so how could she be willing to tell the truth to Tong Huaqiong?
Who is this girl? She looks delicate and weak, but how can she be so evil? When they are mice, she is the cat. She plays tricks on them like this for fun, right?
The heat in the valley is unbearable.
"In this case, I'm going to Tianxiang Tower to get my ten taels of silver back." Gu Dashu stood up angrily, "Not only do I want the silver back, I also want to curse them in the face."
"Don't worry."
Tong Huaqiong glanced at Gu Dashu.
"Mom, people are plotting against me, how can I not be anxious?" Gu Dashu said this but stopped.
Tong Huaqiong glared at him, wondering why this adopted son was so impatient.
Tong Huaqiong said, "What's the point of you being anxious? I have almost dealt with this matter. I have reached an agreement with Mother Mo to cooperate in the sea business. Tonight, Miss Xianxian was arranged by Mother Mo to give me money. Mother Mo didn't mean to plot against us. She just follows the trend and cooperates with whoever gives more benefits. Since she can cooperate with the second son of Jin Fengxiang, she can also cooperate with me."
This is what a great man in later generations said: The more friends you make, the fewer enemies you will have.
"As for Jin Fengxiang's second son, he is even less to be feared. Now that we know his plan, we have ways to deal with it. Before you came to the capital, I always told you to be careful not to fall into other people's traps, but you didn't take it seriously. Now it's been calculated on you. This is not a bad thing. You have to learn a lesson. Be careful in the future and think more about everything."
"But you surprised me this time. You didn't fall for others' tricks and weren't dazzled by the glitz and glamour of the world. I'm very pleased as a mother."
Gu Dashu sat down.
Although he was still annoyed about being schemed against by others, he calmed down after hearing Tong Huaqiong's words.
Especially Tong Huaqiong's final praise of him made Gu Dashu quite excited.
This is the first time I’ve praised him in over half a year.
"So let's just let this matter pass?" Gu Dashu said.
He had no intention of letting the second son of Jin Fengxiang go. If he caught him with something he could use against him, he would not let him off easily.
"Whether it will pass or not depends on what Jin Fengxiang does in the future," said Tong Huaqiong.
However, with He Chao around and already knowing Jin Fengxiang's plan, Tong Huaqiong was not worried at all.
"You bastard, the people in the prefecture are really evil-minded, they are here to tear down our family." Liu Yue'e cursed, "Luckily I am a person who does not get excited when things happen. If it were an ordinary person, I would have been in a fight to the death, and I might even get a divorce."
Liu Yue'e was relieved instead, as this showed that Gu Dashu had no evil intentions and everything was planned by others.
"Now you know that I'm not the kind of person who has fickle minds. Let alone Xianxian, even if a fairy came down to earth and stood in front of me, I wouldn't even look at her. My wife, you can rest assured. I have never had any second thoughts about you. I never had any second thoughts about you before, I don't have any now, and I won't have any second thoughts about you in the future. If you think I have, either you are imagining things or someone else is trying to harm me." Gu Dashu said.
He said how could Miss Xianxian fall in love with a country bumpkin like him, and she was being tricked.
"Mom, I don't quite understand. Since Miss Xianxian came to give you money, why did she say those words to Dashu in front of me? If that's not seduction, what is it?" Liu Yue'e was puzzled.
Tong Huaqiong said: "Because Dashu didn't take the bait, he got angry out of shame."
Tong Huaqiong did not explain to Liu Yue'e in detail the source of Xianxian's behavior pattern, for she was afraid that her son would become arrogant.
But Liu Yue'e understood.
Women understand women's minds.
"She is indeed a woman of the world. She won't let go of any man. How despicable!" Liu Yue'e muttered.
Tong Huaqiong disagreed with this.
Even though she also disliked Xianxian.
Tong Huaqiong said to Liu Yue'e: "They didn't become prostitutes voluntarily. Everyone has their own difficulties. If you meet someone like Xianxian next time, I support you to go to her house, but don't kill all prostitutes with one stroke."
Tong Huaqiong thought about what she had learned during the day about Mo's mother's life experience.
She was a beautiful girl from a fisherman's family. She met a scholar while rowing a boat and they fell in love at first sight.
The scholar brought her from his hometown to Ningcheng, thinking it would be a happy ending for the couple, but he didn't expect it to be the beginning of a tragic fate.
In order to curry favor with the powerful, the scholar sold her to an official as a concubine.
Later, when an official got into trouble, she, as his concubine, was sent to the music school and became a prostitute.
This also explains why Mother Mo does business with men, but looks down on unfaithful men, and allows the girls of Tianxiang Tower to set up traps for the men who enter Tianxiang Tower.
A big part of the reason why Mother Mo was willing to tell Tong Huaqiong about the affairs of the second son of Jin Fengxiang was because Tong Huaqiong was a woman.
It’s not that Tong Huaqiong is a saintly person. Who would enter the world of prostitution without a compelling reason? Mother Mo is like this, and Xianxian is definitely no exception.
She had warned Xianxian not to hurt Liu Yue'e, and if Xianxian continued to be stubborn, she wouldn't mind making her suffer even worse.
