Chapter 596 Regret
"Li'er, if they start to rely on me, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble, just like what happened to the Hong family." Uncle Hong was still very hesitant.
"I can handle the Hong family, let alone just a few people." Yan Li's eyes were full of arrogance.
"Okay then, I'll do it right away." Uncle Hong smiled when he heard that.
"Uncle Hong, the people who came to see you this morning are resting in front of our house." At this moment, the servant came to report.
"Let's go out and take a look." Yan Li said as he walked outside, followed closely by Hong Bo.
King Zhan and King Xiao did not go out to join in the fun.
As soon as Yan Li and the others left, those who were hiding in the corner outside the door were immediately awakened.
When they saw Yan Li and Hong Bo, there was some panic in their eyes.
"We, we are not staying here on purpose. We really have nowhere else to go. We entered the Elite City with the token given by our mother, but we didn't expect that we would be driven away wherever we go." A man who looked older explained.
"We just want to spend one night here and leave Elite City tomorrow." Seeing that Yan Li and Hong Bo didn't speak, the man continued.
The people behind him looked at Yan Li and the others timidly.
"I gave you gold coins this morning, why don't you stay in the inn?" Uncle Hong asked coldly.
"The gold coins you gave us were swindled away by the Hong family, who asked us to pay for our stay," the man said.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Hong sighed. Those people in the Hong family are really not human.
Not only did they not take them in, they also cheated them out of all their money.
"Come with me." After saying that, Uncle Hong walked outside.
Seeing this, those people hurriedly followed.
"Um...can I call you uncle?" the man asked timidly.
"Sure." Hong Bo's answer made his eyes light up.
"Uncle, I'm really sorry to trouble you this time, but we are really desperate. Someone is chasing us outside." said the man.
"What are your names?" Uncle Hong looked at them when he heard that.
"Our surname is Guo. I am the eldest, Guo Feng, she is the second, Guo Yu, and this is the third, Guo Lei. The others are all our family members." Guo Feng introduced.
"I can help you buy a house so that you can settle down in Elite City, and help you apply for a points token. If you want to survive in the future, it will depend on you to earn points on your own." After saying this, Uncle Hong looked at them.
"Uncle, who keeps the deeds of those houses?" Guo Yu, the woman at the side, asked immediately, with a shrewd look in her eyes.
"Guo Feng is the boss, so naturally he will keep it." Uncle Hong said coldly.
Guo Yu stopped talking after hearing this.
So Uncle Hong helped them buy a house in the west of the city and also helped them apply for a points token.
"Uncle, can these Elite City points be used as gold coins?" Guo Lei asked.
"That's right, but points are much more valuable than gold coins." Uncle Hong nodded.
"Uncle, we're new here, can you give us some points?" A little boy grabbed Uncle Hong's hand and said.
"Uncle, this is my child named Guo Lan." Seeing Uncle Hong looking at the child, Guo Yu immediately spoke.
"You want to get something for nothing at such a young age. You can take tasks every day at the task office in the city. As long as you work hard, you won't starve to death." Uncle Hong said coldly.
Guo Yu's face turned pale when he heard this.
"Thank you for your teachings, uncle." Guo Feng said hurriedly upon seeing this.
"My uncle obviously looks very rich, why doesn't he give us more? We are almost starving to death." Guo Lan's face was full of indignation.
"Being weak is not a reason to beg from others. You must remember that everything I spent to help you today belonged to our young lady. It was her kindness that allowed me to help you, otherwise I would not have the ability to do so." Uncle Hong continued.
"Uncle, is the lady you are talking about the one just now?" A young man came over.
"Uncle, he is my eldest son Guo Jia." Guo Feng introduced.
"That's right." Uncle Hong nodded.
"Uncle, I am Guo Feng's wife. May I ask if that lady is married?" Guo Feng's wife asked impatiently.
"Why are you asking this?" Uncle Hong looked at her coldly.
"I just thought that our Jia'er is pretty good-looking..."
"Don't dream about such things. Li'er's status in Elite City is comparable to that of the city lord. Most importantly, she has a husband." Hong Bo interrupted harshly.
Guo Feng's wife looked very disappointed when she heard this.
The desire to climb up the social ladder has been dashed!
"What are you thinking about? It's obvious that the lady's identity is not simple. How can people like us be worthy of her? All of you put away those inappropriate thoughts." Guo Feng shouted when he heard this.
In the current situation, the Guo family should be thankful to be able to gain a foothold in Elite City. How dare they dream of anything else?
"Husband, as long as my uncle is willing to help, it is not impossible. Then the Guo family will soar to great heights." Guo Feng's wife was still dreaming.
Snapped!
"You ignorant woman, do you want to kill your entire family?" Guo Feng became angry when he heard this.
"This is the first and last time I help you. From today on, we will sever our relationship and you should not bother us anymore." After saying this, Uncle Hong turned and left.
All the members of the Guo family were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"My uncle just left like that?" Guo Lei was completely confused.
"I heard from people on the street today that my uncle is now in the residence of Lord Yan Li, and he has a very high status in there." said the girl Guo Li at the side.
"Mr. Yan Li? The person who can be heard everywhere as soon as you enter the Elite City? Could it be that the person standing next to my uncle just now is Mr. Yan Li?" Guo Yu's eyes lit up as he spoke.
"Don't dream about things that don't belong to us. Let's divide the yard and go to the mission office to take on tasks tomorrow." Guo Feng said to everyone.
"Brother, that's Lady Yan Li. If just a little bit of something slips through her fingers, it will be enough for us to live in luxury." Guo Yu was still immersed in greed and unable to extricate himself.
"Why do you think our uncle was unwilling to help us in the morning but helped us in the evening?" Guo Feng looked at everyone in the Guo family with helplessness on his face.
"He just softened his heart." Guo Yu said.
"It's not that he is soft-hearted, but that Lord Yan Li gave us a chance, a chance to prove that we are not blood-sucking bugs." After saying this, Guo Feng looked at everyone in the Guo family seriously.
"So everyone'd better behave themselves and go to take up the mission tomorrow. No one is allowed to disturb my uncle again, otherwise I will break his legs." Guo Feng's face was serious.
Seeing this, everyone in the Guo family lowered their heads.
It is said that when Uncle Hong returned home, he looked unhappy.
"Uncle Hong, are things not going well?" Yan Li looked at him with amusement.
"Lier, I shouldn't have helped them. Among those people, only Guo Feng is okay, the others are not that good." Uncle Hong's face was full of regret.
