Fang Hongshan's heart bled when he learned that he had to build such an expensive welfare institution and be responsible for the expenses of maintaining its operation after it was built, but he had no choice but to agree in order to save his daughter.
After Fang Hongshan took his daughter away, the proprietress of Hongxiufang came to the palace with a large box of things to ask for a meeting.
Elias Gu knew that she was afraid that his anger would affect her, so he asked someone to take her to Sophia Gu's residence.
Sophia Gu and Avery Mo did not go out because they had injuries on their faces and bodies. They stayed in the house sorting out the portrait of the woman that Chunying had just found from the matchmaker.
Sophia Gu pointed at a portrait and said, "This one is good. Although his family background is average, he is from a scholarly family and he looks gentle. I'll take it as an alternative!"
Avery Mo also picked one out of the portraits and said, "This one is not bad either. She looks sweet, and it's written that she has an innocent and lively personality, which is a perfect complement to your brother who is full of hostility. And this one, she comes from a martial arts family and has learned martial arts since she was a child. If your brother suddenly gets angry and wants to kill someone, she can still fight him back and forth."
Sophia Gu could tell that Avery Mo didn't like Elias Gu. Seeing that Avery Mo didn't like Elias Gu but couldn't get rid of him, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Avery Mo, do you know that the enemies in idol dramas always end up together?"
"What do you mean?" Avery Mo didn't react for a moment.
"I mean, why don't you be my sister-in-law?"
"Sophia Gu, are you crazy? I just helped you save someone and you're repaying me with hatred. Can you please be a decent person?"
Avery Mo was so frightened by Sophia Gu's words that she jumped up from her chair. She treated her as a friend, but she wanted her to be her sister-in-law. Is she crazy?
When she was Lila Chen, she had imagined that if she had a brother, she would have her brother marry Avery Mo home, so that they would be even closer relatives. Now that she really has a brother, she didn't expect Avery Mo to be so unimpressed. "I just said it casually, don't be so excited!"
"How can I not be excited? Although he is quite good-looking, I don't want to live with a knife at my neck all day long."
Whenever Elias Gu was mentioned, Avery Mo's mind would automatically recall the image of him saying he wanted to be executed on the spot with all his anger. It was truly too horrifying.
Sophia Gu smiled and asked, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"Yes, anyway, you must never have such horrible thoughts again, do you hear me?"
Mo Chu woke up in a very decisive tone, and didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Sophia Gu promised her that she would not mention the matter again.
When they were about to continue selecting people, someone came to report to Sophia Gu that the owner of Hongxiufang wanted to see her.
Sophia Gu put down the album in her hand and asked, "What is she doing here?"
They had an accident in her store yesterday, so maybe they came here to apologize today. Avery Mo was also a little curious, "Why don't we go out and take a look and find out?"
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw the owner of Hongxiu, Sun Erniang, and a big box beside her.
Sun Erniang knelt down immediately when she saw Sophia Gu. Although Sophia Gu understood the principles of this place with her memories, she was still not used to the way people here kneel when told to do so, so she quickly asked Chunying to help them up.
Before Sophia Gu asked, Sun Erniang actively explained the reason for her visit. She said that something happened to Sophia Gu in her shop, and she was afraid that Elias Gu would vent his anger on her, so she sent all the clothes and jewelry that Sophia Gu and Avery Mo had chosen that day to apologize.
"If it was because of what happened yesterday, Shopkeeper Sun, there is no need to do this. Although it happened in your store, you have never seen me and do not know my identity. You did not help Fang Yirou to attack me. Everything you did was reasonable. The palace will not cause trouble for you because of this matter."
"Thank you, Princess, for your wisdom, but these are just some small gifts from me, I hope you can accept them." Seeing Sun Erniang's sincere farewell, it would seem a bit unkind if Sophia Gu didn't accept them. So Sophia Gu asked Chunying to go to the account office to get the silver to buy these things, and then sent her away.
Avery Mo looked at the clothes he had chosen yesterday with great enthusiasm, and calmed down to realize that the clothes were not made of high-quality material or had good workmanship. At more than 1,200 taels of silver, the profit was probably more than half of that.
After Chunying sent Sun Erniang out of the house, Sophia Gu gave her the clothes she had picked for her yesterday.
Chunying looked at the clothes in her hand in disbelief. "Shopkeeper Sun even sent me some! This is the first time I have such expensive clothes! Thank you, Princess, for the reward!"
Seeing Chunying happy, Sophia Gu was also very happy, and found that Avery Mo, who was there just now, suddenly disappeared. "Where is Avery Mo?"
Chunying said, "Miss Mo went into the inner room with new clothes and jewelry while you were talking to me. I guess she wanted to change into the new clothes!"
"What are you talking about so happily?"
Elias Gu knew that Sophia Gu liked to eat lychees, so he had someone bring some back from Futian County, thousands of miles away. Even if ice was used to keep them fresh, they could not be stored for too long, so Elias Gu sent them to Sophia Gu as soon as they arrived at the house.
This appearance scared Sophia Gu greatly. There was a picture of choosing a wife for Elias Gu on the table. She quickly signaled Chunying to put the things away.
"Brother Wang, you are here! Chunying and I were just joking."
Seeing that Elias Gu had brought a food box, she asked what delicious food he had brought for her.
"Your favorite food, of course."
Just as Elias Gu was about to open the lunch box to give Sophia Gu a surprise, he heard a sound coming from the inner room.
"Ah~Sariwa, ah~Sariwa, ah~Sariwa, huh---ha---huh---ha---huh---ha---"
Sophia Gu looked up and saw Avery Mo dancing the Indian girl's dance that he had learned online.
Her skin is snow-white against the backdrop of a bright red dress. The golden embroidery from the collar to the waist outlines her slender waist. She wears a red silk scarf on her head and lets it fall loose. She dances barefoot and exaggeratedly follows the dance moves in the Indian Girl, which is both beautiful and funny.
When Avery Mo put on the dress, he just felt that it looked very exotic, so the weird thoughts in his mind reacted instantly and he prepared to give Sophia Gu such a "surprise".
Because she was too immersed in the role, she did not notice that there were other people in the room. Until she sang "Who sent you to me" and looked up at Sophia Gu, not only did she see Sophia Gu covering her mouth and laughing like a sieve, she also saw Elias Gu standing next to her. She was instantly petrified.
"Hahahahahahahahaha---"
Seeing Avery Mo's petrified expression, Sophia Gu could no longer hold back her laughter, and she laughed louder and louder until tears came out.
Elias Gu, who was standing by, smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Mo's illness has healed."
It was the first time that Avery Mo encountered such a socially embarrassing situation. His face instantly turned red all the way to his neck. He covered his face with his hands, screamed, and ran away.
Seeing this, the corner of Elias Gu's mouth curled up even more.
This girl is really interesting, no wonder Sophia Gu likes to hang out with her.
