With that in mind, she suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, turned to look at Gu Junhang, sighed, and said:
"Yes, there was a robber at the entrance of the hotel room, fortunately your uncle reacted quickly at the ti and avoided the disaster."
As she spoke, her voice choked up, and she raised her hand to wipe the tears in the corner of her eyes.
"Your uncle is my only younger brother, what would I do if sothing happened to him? How would I face your grandparents in the future?"
Her eyes were red, probably recalling the danger her brother faced, and there was more sincerity in her thoughts.
Next, she looked at Gu Junhang’s expression with a probing gaze, and continued sobbing:
"You say, even living in such a good hotel is not safe, so I just want to buy a house for your uncle and arrange a few bodyguards for him, then I will feel at ease."
Gu Junhang smiled, the aning of his smile unclear.
Xue Lan couldn’t figure out Gu Junhang’s thoughts at this mont, but judging from her son’s appearance, his mood seed to be pretty good.
Only to hear Gu Junhang say:
"What’s the point of buying a house? Housing prices in Xinma are not cheap, it’s a waste of money to buy one."
Xue Lan’s heart was delighted.
Did her son an to give her that card and let her choose a house for his uncle?
She knew that playing the affection card would definitely work.
Thinking this way, she remained calm on her face, and the trace of greed that surged into her eyes was perfectly hidden.
"It can’t be helped, since he is my own brother; although I don’t have much cash on hand, I can squeeze out so to buy a house for him."
Gu Junhang’s smile grew even bigger and more intense.
"I know how much you care for your uncle, even though he’s already of age, in your heart, he’s just a helpless child."
Xue Lan choked up, feeling that sothing was wrong with his words.
Gu Junhang’s hand was playing with the pen on the table carelessly, and the cold sharpness in the bottom of his eyes was slowly reflected on the dazzling noodles.
"Mom, you’ve been saving up for so many years, it hasn’t been easy, how could I ask you to spend this money on a house."
Gu Junhang’s voice grew colder, but Xue Lan’s greed made her completely ignore this, instead feeling overjoyed and convinced that her son was going to give her the card.
If there is sothing readily available, why spend extra money on it?
"Junhang, do you an..."
"Why don’t you just let your brother not go to Xinma since it’s so dangerous there?"
Gu Junhang looked at her, his smile already faded.
Xue Lan’s heart suddenly missed a beat, feeling that sothing was wrong.
"How could he not go? Most of your uncle’s overseas business is in Xinma, if he doesn’t go, how can he manage it?"
"Is that so..."
Gu Junhang lowered his eyes, furrowing his brows, deep in thought for a mont, then said:
"Well, then, just let the company over there go bankrupt."
He said it so casually, as if saying "if you can’t swallow this al, just dump it" was just as casual.
Even Xue Lan, who was less astute, understood what her son was trying to say now, her eyes widening in disbelief.
He... he was still dwelling on the matter of that foxy lady falling down the stairs.
"With the company over there going bankrupt, your brother wouldn’t need to go to Xinma anymore and take risks; and you can save the money for buying a house and ensure his safety at the sa ti, killing two birds with one stone, how great is that."
Gu Junhang was smiling, but to Xue Lan, this smile seed like a demon that would swallow up all her luck.
