Hope Coffee House - chapter 10

It was not difficult to investigate Gao Qi.

He just had to get her ID number and mobile phone number and find a few contact details.

Wu Liang always had inexplicable vigilance towards Gao Qi, so he did not want to delay anymore, and directly called Chen Wei.

Hearing that Wu Liang wanted to investigate Gao Qi, Chen Wei stayed silent for a long time.

After Wu Liang explained that Gao Qi’s motive behind the phone call most likely had some other meaning to it, Chen Wei finally gave him Gao Qi’s phone, ID number and contact information of several friends.

After a hard night of struggling, although he spent a lot of money, Wu Liang also successfully found Gao Qi’s personal information.

Two facts shocked Wu Liang the most.

First, Gao Qi is not short of money.

Even though Gao Qi worked as an insurance salesperson, she had a very strong family background. There were 5 real estates belonging to them in Jicheng, of which 3 were in the city center.

In addition, Gao Qi also had 13 houses in other first-tier cities in the country. And a single villa in Shencheng was worth 200 million yuan!

As for the funds in Gao Qi’s account, he could guess that it wasn’t a small amount.

Second, Gao Qi’s parents both died in a car accident nine years ago.

Gao Qi lied to Chen Wei. The person who died at the Bingcheng Hospital a month ago was not Gao Qi’s father.

She was obviously very rich but took a lot of trouble to find a fake father, waste Chen Wei ’s few savings, and spent a whole year deceiving his feelings. Why had Gao Qi been so detrimental to Chen Wei? It made Wu Liang even more confused.

Although he hadn’t slept, Wu Liang did not feel tired. Maybe that was the magic of the Hope Coffe House. The 30-day time without illness and injury was extremely beneficial.

He gobbled down his breakfast, took out his mobile phone and invited Gao Qi’s friends.

He had the contact information of four of Gao Qi’s female friends.

Wu Liang said on the phone that he was an admirer of Gao Qi. He wanted to invite Gao Qi’s friends to have a meal in private, inquire about Gao Qi’s likes and dislikes, and increase the chance of a successful confession.

Of course, whether the confession went successfully or not, for attempting to be his and Gao QI’s matchmaker, gratitude to them would be inevitable.

Three of the four girls agreed to Chen Wei happily and agreed on the time and place to meet. The three chose high-end restaurants with different styles, and each restaurant consumed four figures per person.

Chen Wei, who had spent 5,000 hope coins to buy a tracking card, once again faced the same heart-wrenching feeling.

Today, he had 1097 coins of Hope and a few thousand dollars in his pocket. Wu Liang really had to save some money.

It was just that he couldn’t kill the rabbits before catching the wolf. Wu Liang scolded the three girls in his heart but agreed with a charming smile on the phone.

The only girl who doubted whether he really knew Gao Qi was Fan Hongshuang.

Wu Liang somehow convinced her that it was indeed the case.

Fan Hongshuang seemed to be reluctant but finally agreed to meet with Wu Liang. They would meet at noon, and the place was a small and cozy tea restaurant. Per capita consumption was less than 100. A dollar.

Wu Liang exchanged 10,000 yuan in cash with 100 Hope Coins in case of need and changed into a set of slightly more mature clothes before rushing to the tea restaurant.

Fan Hongshuang was early, and Wu Liang appeared on time at half past eleven.

Somewhat different from Wu Liang’s imagination, Fan Hongshuang was very beautiful. She was wearing a black embroidered long dress, which looked particularly elegant and attractive.

Wu Liang handed the menu to Fan Hongshuang and motioned to order with a smile.

Fan Hongshuang was surprised by his youth when she saw Wu Liang. After examining Wu Liang up and down, she shook his head slightly: “I agreed to meet with you, not to eat, but to persuade you.”

“Just give up. Gao Qi is not a simple person.”

Gao Qi’s friend actually came to dissuade him?

Wu Liang’s eyes brightened, and he ordered a few signature dishes. He gave a confused look and asked, “What do you mean?”

Fan Hongshuang shook her head helplessly: “You should be young, right? How old?”

Wu Liang handed the order to the server.

Secretly using a trust card, he looked at Fan Hongshen sincerely: “Nineteen years old. Although I’m younger than Gao Qi, it does not affect my affection for her.”

“She’s luring in even such youths now?” Fan Hongshuang whispered to herself.

There was definitely some drama!

“Good sister, help me, I’m sincere.” Wu Liang added eagerly.

Fan Hongshuang quietly looked at Wu Liang for a long time and seemed to have made a decision, “Little brother, you are too young. I might as well tell you a story first. After listening to the story, maybe you will make a more sensible choice. “

It happened three years ago.

Gao Qi and Fan Hongshuang worked together at a foreign company in Jicheng. Fan Hongshuang was a product-seller and Gao Qi, a saleswoman. Because the two people often worked together and had similar personalities, they quickly became good friends who talked about everything.

At that time, Gao Qi had just come from Shencheng to Jicheng, and she was unfamiliar with a lot of things. Apart from Fan Hongshuang, she had no other relatives or friends in Jicheng.

When shopping with Fan Hongshuang for dinner, Gao Qi often looked enviously at a couple on the road and confided to Fan Hongshuang that she felt lonely after going home from work every day.

Fan Hongshuang was a native of Jicheng. After a few months with Gao Qi, she felt that Gao Qi was sincere and enthusiastic. She has a gentle and considerate personality, which was a good trait that everyone looked for.

Fan Hongshuang’s first choice was Ding Anming.

Ding Anming was young, had an extroverted personality, and was really popular. Now working in a state-owned enterprise, he had a chance of becoming a supervisor at a young age and earned a considerable income.

Ding Anming only had one weak point, that is, he was a bit quick-tempered and occasionally irritable, but it was also complementary to Gao Qi, who was a gentle person.

Ding Anming and Fan Hongshuang’s cousin Sun Lihui are colleagues. Ding Anming could be promoted to the position of a supervisor, and Sun Lihui’s income was not small either.

The three often worked together on weekends. During the last few meals, Ding Anming always said that he couldn’t find a suitable girl for him. He hoped that Fan Hongshuang would introduce him to a reliable girlfriend.

In this way, Fan Hongshuang communicated with the two in private. Gao Qi and Ding Anming readily agreed.

In order to avoid awkwardness, Fan Hongshuang picked a day, brought her cousin Sun Lihui, and the four had dinner together.

However, after a meal, Ding Anming was completely attracted to Gao Qi and began his crazy pursuit of Gao Qi.

Gao Qi seemed to be very satisfied with Ding Anming, but she was stubborn. Whenever she ate and watched a movie with Ding Anming, she always brought Fan Hongshuang together.

Fan Hongshuang felt that it was embarrassing to be a third wheel, so she pulled Sun Lihui together.

Sun Lihui, Fan Hongshuang, and Ding Anming have always been active together. Today, Gao Qi has been added. She was both Fan Hongshuang’s good girlfriend and Ding Anming’s half girlfriend. There was nothing wrong with them.

A month later, Gao Qi agreed and became his girlfriend.

Fan Hongshuang very consciously planned to resign her third wheel position, so that Ding Anming and Gao Qi could be more comfortable, but Gao Qi was still pulling Fan Hongshuang together, insisting that she was not a person who forgets friends.

Ding Anming and Sun Lihui were both men. They weren’t as delicate as girls, they remained indifferent to this matter.

When Ding Anming sent Gao Qi home in the evening, Fan Hongshuang and Sun Lihui voluntarily retreated and returned to their homes.

Two months after Ding Anming and Gao Qimili adjusted to each other, they decided to move in together.

Because always going to the hotel was too expensive.

The house that Gao Qi rented was a single room shared with others. She only took Ding Anming for one night, and the next day she heard complaints.

Ding Anming, a native of Jicheng, had always lived with his parents at home, and it was inconvenient to take Gao Qi there.

Both had graduated from college just two or three years ago, and there was some pressure to rent a house in Jicheng, which had high housing prices.

If renting in a convenient urban area, a single-bedroom suite of more than forty square meters would cost 6,000 yuan a month.

If one chose a more comfortable two-bedroom, the price would rise up to 8,500 yuan. If it was in a good community, it would cost more than 10,000 yuan.

It was much cheaper to rent in the suburbs. A spacious and clean two-bedroom apartment had a rent of 6000-7000 yuan, but it was a big problem to go to work. It took one and a half hours to travel by subway, and hence three hours were wasted in a day.

Just when Ding Anming and Gao Qi were worried, Sun Lihui made a suggestion.

{T/N: Gao Qi haters(mainly me) be like: People actually like her? Waaaw, people sure have buttons for eyes!
