Chapter 489: Chapter 489: The Gu Family No Longer Has the Jade Mine to Pride Itself On Chapter 489: Chapter 489: The Gu Family No Longer Has the Jade Mine to Pride Itself On Before him, Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng, both shareholders, were well-suited for this moment.

There was no need to find someone else to sign the trading contract.

Although Gu Lei wasn’t a university graduate, he graduated from a famous technical college in the Imperial Capital, where he studied finance and accounting. However, after graduation, he didn’t take up employment; instead, he started working with Uncle Gu.

He was married with a son and a daughter and, having passed the test, officially began working closely with Gu Qingfeng.

Gu Tianfeng didn’t understand business contracts, but he had exceptional understanding and learning abilities.

He and Gu Lei had drafted the contract together.

At this moment, Ning Wanru put on her reading glasses and carefully examined the document.

She had secretly been doing business for years, so she had seen her fair share of contracts, especially in recent years.

After reading it from beginning to end, she handed it to Gu Cheng, giving him a nod to indicate that the contract was sound.

She meant to tell her son that there was nothing wrong with the contract.

The contract indeed had no issues.

It was simply a sales and purchase agreement.

Once signed, it would have legal effect.

Even so, Gu Cheng still meticulously reviewed it from start to finish.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingfeng and the others remained tranquil.

Not a single superfluous expression could be seen on their faces.

Yet Ning Wanru felt that Gu Qingfeng must be grinding his teeth with frustration inside.

But it was just a case of putting on a brave face.

Her own expression became much more cheerful.

With the facade torn down, there was no need for pretense anymore.

Despite this, she didn’t understand how Gu Qingfeng could turn against her so quickly.

Shouldn’t one keep up pretenses without evidence first?

It wouldn’t be too late to turn against someone after finding evidence.

Her heart was in turmoil; after all, this was the man she had once pursued so persistently in her youth.

Yet, half a century had elapsed, and in their old age, he never once looked at her with the same regard he had for Lady Yu.

Gradually, her persistence had soured.

What she wanted was no longer this man or such things, but rather, everything the Gu Family had, aside from people.

Now, at last, her first wish had come true.

She was about to acquire the Jade Mine.

When the transaction was completed, Ning Wanru’s lips curved into a smile.

Each party received a copy of the transaction, with another sent for notarization.

Ning Wanru took her copy.

Gu Lei, meanwhile, took out the check.

He went to the bank with Gu Tianfeng and Gu Cheng.

Left behind were Ning Wanru, Gu Jiansheng, Gu Qingfeng, and a host of bodyguards.

Neither spoke a word.

The tea house was quiet.

The owner was an acquaintance.

At this time, they also discreetly kept their distance…

Ning Wanru was closely examining the property deeds in her hand.

The bank staff had already been notified.

A large sum of money would be deposited today.

So, the bank’s president personally welcomed the group into the VIP room.

The check was cashed, and fifty million in cash was transferred into Gu Qingfeng’s account.

But from that point on, the Gu Family lost their prized Jade Mine.

The distance from the bank to the tea house was not far, and the three of them walked back in silence.

Gu Tianfeng handed the passbook to Gu Qingfeng.

Upon seeing the numbers in the passbook, Gu Qingfeng’s brows furrowed deeply.

He tried hard to suppress the anger rising within him.

These vampires, how much money had they extracted from him.

To think that fifty million could be so easily dispensed with…

A shadow crossed his eyes involuntarily.

Meanwhile, Ning Wanru’s smile was radiant.

Gu Qingfeng held back again and again, realizing that any words now would be in vain, a self-invitation to humiliation.

Indeed, it would be an invitation to insult.
