Chapter 797: Finding Help
Of course, it was most important to go straight to the Zhou residence, but Zhou Dafu…
After a few interactions, Gu Yundong finally knew what kind of person this person was. He was someone who would trample on you to death whenever he found an opportunity.
Back then, when he wanted her shop, he didn’t know much about her and Shao Qingyuan. He only knew that he couldn’t beat them and ran away. In the end, after investigating them, he found out that the two of them were just poor people from the countryside who had no backing. He immediately wanted to destroy them on the day of the opening.
Even if such a person saw that the people who came to deliver the congratulatory gifts were either rich or noble when the shop opened, and knew that she was not someone without a backer, once he knew that the family she cared about was in the Zhou Mansion, he would be smug.
Not only would he not let him go, but he would also take her aunt and uncle into his hands and obtain endless benefits from her.
For example, getting in touch with the Nie family.
If Gu Qiuyue, the troublemaker, was included, Gu Yundong felt that she would be sucked dry by Zhou Dafu in the future.
Therefore, he could not look for her so directly.
Gu Yundong sat in the carriage and did not speak. His mind was racing.
After a while, she narrowed her eyes and said to Xue Rong, who was outside, “Go to the Dai residence.”
This place was not far from the government office, so the Dai residence was also nearby.
Although Xue Rong did not know what Miss wanted to do, he immediately turned his horse around, shook the reins, and quickly headed for the Dai residence.
Gu Yundong had never been to the Dai residence before. Previously, she had met Madam Dai at the milk tea shop. This was the first time she had visited.
However, Madam Dai had told her that if she wanted to visit, she could just tell the concierge. She had instructed the concierge not to stop her.
Thus, after Gu Yundong announced her identity, the concierge immediately led her inside.
Madam Dai happened to be at home today.
When she saw Gu Yundong enter, her face was filled with surprise. “Yundong, you’re finally in the prefectural city. It seems that I sent the right letter to you. I should have urged you to come back earlier.”
Gu Yundong smiled and greeted her. Madam Dai held her hand and walked in. “Alright, alright. There’s no need to be so polite. You came at the right time. I have a lot to tell you. Come in quickly. I’ll get someone to serve tea.”
Gu Yundong quickly pulled her back. “Auntie, wait. I came here today for something.”
“Is something wrong?”
“Yes, it’s an urgent matter,” Gu Yundong said solemnly.
Seeing this, Madam Dai’s expression turned solemn. “Do you think there’s a problem with the shop?”
“No, I have something else to ask… Young Master Dai for help.” Gu Yundong looked around and whispered in her ear.
“Wenhuo?” Madam Dai was surprised.
“Yes, is Young Master Dai in the residence?”
“Yes, yes.” Madam Dai’s heart was itching. She didn’t know why Yundong was looking for Wenhuo.
She knew that Wenhuo had gone to Yongfu Village last time. When she returned home, she even specially asked him. Wenhuo simply said that Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan had helped him a lot.
After that, she didn’t say much. Madam Dai knew that there were some things that she shouldn’t know too much about, so she didn’t ask further.
Could it be that Yundong was looking for Wenhuo today because of what happened back then?
Why didn’t Young Master Shao come looking for him?
Madam Dai thought a lot, but she knew her limits. Her husband and son were doing something big, so she shouldn’t inquire what she shouldn’t know.
