Gu Yunhong's face changed drastically when he heard this: "You, you actually went to check on my uncle?"

He didn't expect that Li Decai acted so quickly and immediately found out about the Wu family and his uncle's business.

What you worry about will come true. The Li family's business is very widespread. If Li Decai really cuts off his uncle's business, other merchants in the town will not dare to do business with his uncle!

If this goes on, my uncle's business will completely collapse, and I will really have no money left for my studies.

I have no money and cannot go to school. How can I take part in the provincial examination?

The more Gu Yunhong thought about it, the more panicked he became. No, he had to stop studying!

If I don't study, all these years of hard work will be in vain.

"Young Master Li, you, you can't treat my uncle like this. My uncle hasn't offended you." Gu Yunhong said with red eyes and clenched fists.

Seeing him like this, Li Decai grinned slightly, looking extremely proud.

Who made Gu Lao Er so arrogant just now? How dare he humiliate him in front of him like this!

If he doesn't get angry, do you really think he has a good temper?

"Oh, Mr. Gu, it was because of your father's nonsense that Young Master Li got angry. Young Master Li didn't want this to happen."

"Hurry up and ask your father to apologize to Young Master Li. Young Master Li may forgive you for this. Otherwise, if it affects your uncle's business, you will really have nowhere to cry."

When Gu Yunhong heard this, he felt terrible. The matchmaker actually asked him to apologize to Li Decai, the son of a merchant?

He is a scholar and he doesn't have to kneel when he meets the county magistrate. Why should he apologize to a businessman?

Gu Yunhong was unwilling, but Gu Laoer quickly apologized.

"Master Li, it's all my fault. I was confused just now and I was talking nonsense. Don't bother with me, let alone my son."

"Are you guys going to my house? Come on, let's go to my house first and sit down and talk, shall we?"

Gu Laoer's smile was very stiff, and he was a little worried, fearing that Li Decai would go crazy again and harm the Wu family.

Li Decai remained silent, but his expression eased a lot. Seeing this, the matchmaker immediately smiled and said, "Oh, it's great that Mr. Gu thinks this way."

"Master Li, why don't you give Master Gu a favor? After all, we are relatives now. For Miss Gu's sake, why don't you go to the Gu family first?"

The matchmaker gave him a way out, so Li Decai didn't say anything else. He got on the carriage directly and told the servants to drive the carriage to Lao Gu's house.

Gu Laoer wiped the sweat off his forehead and followed the carriage silently.

Along the way, Gu Yunhong clenched his fists and opened his mouth to say something, but Gu Laoer stopped him and prevented him from acting impulsively.

When they returned to the old Gu family, Li Decai got off the carriage. Gu Yunzhi was shocked to see his father and brother there too.

"Mom, Dad and brother are back, along with that annoying matchmaker!" Gu Yunzhi yelled into the house at the top of his voice.

The people in the room heard the noise and hurried out. Wu Xiong was the first to react. He hurried over and greeted Li Decai with a smile.

"Hey, Master Li, why are you here in this remote place?"

Wu Xiong smiled with a flattering look on his face, completely unlike the way he was in the house before.

Yao followed Wu Xiong and kept smiling, fearing that she would neglect Li Decai.

Li Decai was very proud. Wu Xiong was just an unknown small trader, but he gave him enough face in front of the Gu family.

Well, after he marries Gu Yunyan, he might consider giving Wu Xiong more care.

"Manager Wu, what a coincidence! I'm here to visit the Gu family. The matchmaker I hired before was kicked out by the Gu family, so I'm here in person."

Wu Xiong was embarrassed, rubbing his hands together, smiling a little stiffly, and said, "Maybe, maybe there is some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? Oh, I came here just now and was chased away by your family. Now you say it's a misunderstanding?" The matchmaker said loudly.

"When I came here, I made it clear that I was here to propose marriage to Young Master Li from the wealthy Li family. Young Master Li has taken a liking to your Miss Gu and wants to take her as a concubine."

"Oh, Miss Gu used her father and brother's identities to pressure me. I was really scared to death."

The matchmaker was very good at observing people's expressions and she knew what Li Decai wanted to do just by looking at him.

So, she changed her polite attitude towards the people from the old Gu family and directly gave Wu Xiong a warning and refused to give in.

Wu Xiong felt even more embarrassed, a little awkward, and angry.

However, he could not break up with Li Decai, otherwise he would forget about doing business in the future. If he did not do business, how would his family survive in the future?

Yao was also a smart person. She immediately smiled and said to the matchmaker, "My niece's attitude was bad just now. Maybe it was because her mother was sick and lying in bed. She was upset and said the wrong thing."

"You've walked more roads than she has eaten salt, so don't bother with her."

As he was speaking, Gu Yunyan heard the noise and walked out of the house.

When he saw the matchmaker, Li Decai, and the servants who followed Li Decai yesterday, his face turned pale immediately.

"Oh, Miss Gu, I'm Li Decai. Do you remember me? We met yesterday." Li Decai spoke to Gu Yunyan with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunyan was so scared that she quickly stepped back, shaking her head.

"No, I don't know you. Who are you? Hurry up and leave, or I'll chase you away with a broom!"

Li Decai smiled even more. He didn't expect that Gu Yunyan, who looked so weak, actually had a hot temper. It was quite interesting.

Interesting, this is even more interesting than his previous fifteen concubines!

"Miss Gu, you are really hurting my heart. We just agreed yesterday that you would be my concubine, and that's why I gave you the ancestral jade pendant."

Li Decai, with a face full of flesh, was actually holding his chest, looking like he was hurt by love.

Everyone's eyes popped out in shock. Li Decai was fat to begin with, and now his face was wrinkled, with all the fat squeezed together, making him look even uglier.

Hearing this, Gu Yunyan shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's the jade pendant you gave me as compensation. How can a fat pig like you be worthy of me?"

"I'm going to marry an official in the future, and you're just the son of a lowly merchant. What else do you have besides your money? Get out of here right now. If you dare to ruin my reputation again, I'll ask my father to sue you!"

As soon as Gu Yunyan finished speaking, she heard Li Decai's servants burst into laughter. Li San and Li Si were even laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

"Go report to the police? Go ahead, hahaha, go, go quickly!" Li San said with a sneer.

If Gu Yunyan knew how much gold and silver their young master carried to the government office every year, she would be scared to death.

Gu Yunyan really doesn't know what's good for her. She dares to speak so arrogantly. Hasn't she seen that her father, Gu Laoer, has been very obedient in front of their young master and doesn't even dare to say a word?
