Chapter 1832 — A Lucky Hit
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
You must understand that core disciples of the Fire Wolf Gang could become cultivators, and if An Liwen pulled off a few more deeds, the gang would likely grant him a Foundation Establishment Pill to aid his cultivation!
"Marry you?" Gu Mengyao laughed. She finally understood what An Liwen had been driving at with all this talk. In the end, he still wanted her to marry him; as for this joint venture to develop an amusement park, it was merely a pretext to start cultivating feelings between them first. Once those feelings took root, everything else would follow as a matter of course.
But Gu Mengyao did not like An Liwen in the least. Even with such a great temptation laid before her, her heart had never once stirred! She could not say why, but a conviction had always dwelt in Gu Mengyao's heart. She kept thinking that if Wei Zhao woke up, everything would be all right!
Even if much had been lost, with Wei Zhao here, they could rise again from the ashes!
"Yes, you know as well as I do—even though Grandfather dotes on me, if you were not my girlfriend, and I tried to return these holdings to you, Grandfather would never agree!" An Liwen spread his hands and said with a bitter smile, "Yaoyao, I know saying this may make you think I am taking advantage of your misfortune, but this is the only way I could think of, and besides... I truly do like you!"
"I am sorry... I still have school to attend. I have no interest in developing some amusement park..." Gu Mengyao shook her head and declined An Liwen's proposal.
"Ah, well, I was only making the suggestion. Think it over, at least. After all, I do not want to see you lose the Gu family's holdings—I hear your grandfather built them up with his own hands back in the day..." An Liwen said.
"Thank you, but I am not thinking about marriage or work or anything of the sort right now. I still have to go to university," Gu Mengyao said.
"All right, then I will not intrude any further. When you have thought it through, give me a call," An Liwen said.
"Wait. You said you are going to build a zoo?" Shen Yushu suddenly asked.
"Yes, Xiaoshu, why don't you help me persuade Yaoyao too? After all, we both want to help her!" An Liwen nodded. He did not like Xiaoshu, but she was the person closest to Gu Mengyao, and if she put in a good word, Gu Mengyao would probably listen.
"Then you will need to buy a lot of animals, won't you?" Shen Yushu asked.
"Of course. How could a zoo have no animals?" An Liwen had no idea why Shen Yushu was asking, but he answered honestly all the same.
"Then that is just fine. I happen to have a lion here. I will sell it to you—nothing too expensive, just toss me two or three hundred thousand and it is yours!" Shen Yushu said, opening her mouth wide as a lion itself.
"Huh?" An Liwen was stunned for a moment, at a loss for how to reply.
"Better the devil you know than the devil you don't. We are all so well acquainted, and Sister Yaoyao is short of money too—you are not going to refuse to buy, are you?" Shen Yushu shot back.
"Uh... well, I will buy it. Of course I will buy it. Three hundred thousand, you say... fine. I will go back and talk to my uncle. We will definitely buy it..." An Liwen was utterly exasperated. He had failed to strike a deal with Gu Mengyao, and now he was buying a lion for no reason at all!
An Liwen had heard a little about how Shen Yushu had gotten a lion from Gou Huli of the Xiao family, but he never imagined that the beast would end up in his own hands!
What was more, the key point was that developing a zoo had been nothing more than a project he had dreamed up on the spur of the moment; its sole purpose was to create opportunities to get close to Gu Mengyao. If Gu Mengyao would not take part, why on earth would he go and develop a zoo?
Where would he find the spare time? He had far more profitable projects waiting for him!
"Wonderful. I will have someone deliver the lion to you later!" Shen Yushu said.
