Courtyard House: In this life, I have a new home!

56

"We've finished eating, why don't you come back with me?"

"Come to my room and see that amazing new gadget. I guarantee you'll love it."

As he spoke, Xu Damao's mouth was practically drooling.

His eyes were full of lewd light.

A group of little girls burst into laughter, as if they had heard something particularly funny.

They all shook their heads:

"No, even though we've finished eating, we still want to go shopping."

"Uncle Xu, would you like to come along?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, feeling conflicted.

Xu Damao figured that since he had already thrown in the three hundred yuan, he definitely couldn't let these girls get away.

Let's just spend a little more money and win them over first.

He slapped his thigh and shouted, "Come on, I'll take you to buy clothes! After we're done, come back to my house and I'll show you my good stuff. Otherwise, I'll get angry!"

His eyes were sinister, and he was seething with anger.

He'd put in so much effort today; if he didn't even catch a glimpse of them, he didn't know what he was capable of doing.

Xu Damao was never a kind person; he was a real scoundrel.

The little girls secretly smiled and cheered in unison, "Uncle Xu is so kind, he's taking us shopping for clothes!"

They knew in their hearts that this fool had taken the bait again, and they could scam him one more time.

A group of people rushed into the mall, which was packed with people and very lively.

The girls picked and chose, finally settling on a few thick coats. They were all made of good quality materials from reputable brands, so naturally, they weren't cheap.

Adding it all up, it costs seventy yuan.

They couldn't possibly have that much money on their own, so they all turned their attention to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao felt uneasy under their gazes, his eyes darting around, but he dared not meet their eyes.

Does it even need to be said? Everyone understands: it's about getting him to open his wallet.

But after searching Xu Damao's body thoroughly, he only had fifty yuan left.

They were already so poor they could barely afford to eat, and now they wanted to squeeze more money out of him?

No way!

He agreed to come along, just to make a show of it. He'd go shopping with me, but pay for it? Dream on.

He tilted his head to the side, pretending not to see.

The girls immediately understood what was going on when they saw his demeanor. One by one, their smiles faded, and they sighed dejectedly.

"well--"

They really liked the clothes, but they didn't have the money to buy them. Xu Damao refused to pay, so they had no choice but to accept it.

They had no choice but to put the clothes back and walk out of the mall with their heads hanging low.

Upon seeing this, Xu Damao slapped his thigh again.

A group of young girls had just come out of the clothing store, and Xu Damao's eyes were practically glued to them.

He lurched forward, his voice low and urgent: "Hey, you're leaving already? Aren't you going to look at anything else?"

"Since you're leaving anyway, why don't you come back with me and sit in my room for a while?"

"I've hidden some really good stuff here, I guarantee you've never seen anything like it before, come and take a look, okay?"

As he spoke, Xu Damao's expression was already filled with filth.

His thieving eyes darted back and forth between the girls.

The little tidbits in my head have been replayed over and over again.

With one man facing several women, all sorts of chaotic thoughts flooded his mind.

Unfortunately, fate didn't favor him.

Not only did they not tolerate it, they also slapped him across the face.

The girls didn't even give Xu Damao a second glance.

He shook his head and sighed.

"Want to go to your room to see something interesting? I was thinking of going, but now I'm not even in the mood."

"We liked those clothes, but we couldn't afford them. We felt so upset and didn't want to go anywhere else. We just wanted to go home."

"Alright, you can go back and look at it yourself. We're leaving, everyone go home."

After saying that, the girls didn't stop walking and headed straight for the mall entrance.

Xu Damao was stunned when he heard this.

He stood frozen in place, as if someone had acupunctured him.

He then slapped his thigh hard, almost jumping up.

"Snapped!"

"What?! You're going home?!"

"Is this even acceptable?!"

Xu Damao jumped up in anger, his face immediately drooping and turning ashen.

The flesh at the corner of his mouth twitched, making him look fierce and ruthless.

His eyes, fixed on the girls, looked like he wanted to devour them.

Xu Damao has never been a good person.

He would never touch a business that loses money.

He's always the one taking advantage of others; nobody wants to take advantage of him.

These little brats made him throw away three hundred yuan for nothing.

That was his life savings, accumulated over most of his life.

Moreover, he had just been badly beaten up by the shop owner.

Are these people just going to pack their bags and leave?

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

No, not even a little bit!

Xu Damao felt increasingly aggrieved, and his anger reached his head.

In that instant, his eyes were so dark they could drip water.

Finally, Xu Damao gritted his teeth and gave up.

Xu Damao will absolutely not suffer this loss!

He slapped his thigh and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Stop right there! None of you are allowed to leave until I, Xu Damao, give the order!"

"You spent three hundred bucks of my money, and you think you can just walk away? Dream on! Stay here, all of you!"

"It's just a shirt that costs seventy yuan a piece! I'll pay for it for you, okay?!"

After saying that, Xu Damao stared intently at them with his eyes.

A group of young girls felt their scalps tingle and a chill run down their spines under his gaze.

They were all young and timid; they had never seen anything like this before.

Through that sinister gaze, they finally saw Xu Damao's true colors.

No normal person would show such a terrifying expression.

This guy has absolutely no bottom line.

No one can guess what kind of despicable things this kind of person might do.

The girls avoided eye contact with Xu Damao.

At that moment, they were filled with regret.

If they had known Xu Damao was so dangerous, they wouldn't have provoked him.

No matter what, you can't risk your life.

Even if Xu Damao really wanted to lay a hand on them, he could simply go home and tell his parents, who would then deal with him.

Why rush upwards yourself?

Isn't that just asking for death?

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

Having already offended Xu Damao, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue the charade.

The girls steadied themselves, forced out happy smiles, and started shouting.

"Really? Xu Damao, you're going to buy us clothes? You're so kind!"

"Xu Damao, you're the most amazing and generous person we've ever met! You're such a good friend!"

"Of course! This is the first time I've seen someone so wealthy. Even Director Yang has to bow and scrape before him!"

After he finished speaking, a group of little girls stared at Xu Damao with admiration.

That look made Xu Damao feel much better.

Although he was about to go bankrupt and become a penniless pauper.

But as long as I can get my hands on these tender young girls, it's worth spending all my money.

Chasing girls is the most important thing in Xu Damao's life.

He took a deep breath and finally convinced himself.

Then he led a group of girls back to the shop.

The girls picked out several pieces of clothing and waited happily for Xu Damao to pay.

Xu Damao reluctantly pulled out his wallet from his pocket and then reluctantly took out his last fifty yuan.

The shop owner rolled his eyes immediately upon seeing this.

"These clothes cost seventy yuan in total, who are you trying to fool with fifty yuan?"

"Don't act like a big shot if you don't have money. It's laughable, you poor bastard!"

"A penniless guy like him dares to bring a girl to buy clothes? Isn't he ashamed? Picking up girls takes some money!"

"Tch—poor bastard!"

Xu Damao was so speechless by these words that his face turned green.

Especially since there were several young girls standing nearby, they all saw it.

Now, he has completely lost face.

Men are most afraid of losing face in front of women.

Xu Damao's chest heaved a few times, his face turning bright red.

I felt incredibly embarrassed.

But we can't just swallow this insult.

He gritted his teeth, endured the boss's amused gaze, and stomped his foot hard.

"Who says I can't come up with seventy bucks? I'll deposit fifty, and I'll pay the remaining twenty with something! Is that okay?"

"Your store rules state that you can't use items as collateral? They don't say so! So you can do it this way!"

"I just didn't bring enough cash with me when I went out today, it's not that I'm broke! When have I, Xu Damao, ever been short of money?"

He shouted all those words in one breath.

I finally feel like I can straighten my back a bit.

After saying that, he secretly glanced at the group of girls.

In order to maintain this wealthy person's demeanor.

He had already spent 300 yuan.

Since so much has already been spent, this persona has to be maintained to the very end.

Besides, I want to win over those girls.

This tycoon's image cannot be ruined.

What he fears most right now is that they will see through his true nature.

I knew he was putting on a brave face.

All we can do is pray that these girls are easy to fool.

They still treat him like a rich man.

Those girls certainly didn't disappoint him.

Each of them blinked their big, bright eyes, their gazes filled with conviction.

They all chimed in, trying to make him look good.

"Exactly! Uncle Xu is rich! What's seventy yuan to him?"

"Uncle Xu just happened to be without any change, and he bought this shabby shop without even blinking!"

"Uncle Xu is the richest! Uncle Xu is the most amazing! Uncle Xu is never short of money!"

on the surface.

A group of girls surrounded him like they were idolizing him.
