Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Chapter 817 - Marry Me And I'll Make You A Leader Among Women (5)



Gu Qingyao disagreed. "Why would it be shameful? Part of the family's wealth belongs to you. Marriage is an important event. We can't possibly allow you to prepare for it yourself.

"Besides, you're getting older. Hurry up and get married! When Grandfather and Grandma and the others find out, they'll be elated."

Gu Jinhang smiled. "There's no need for the family to go to such an expense. But when the time comes, I'll have to ask our grandparents to bring out some nicer pieces of jewelry and hair ornaments. Also…"

Gu Jinhang looked at his younger cousin with a smile. "Young Cousin, Young Aunt is in the jewelry business, isn't she? Can you get a hold of two sets of good quality jewelry? It doesn't matter if it's expensive. I'll give you some good things in exchange..

"I need some jewelry suitable for a young girl. The ones I have are too ostentatious. Can you get me some simpler ones?"

Gu Jinhang did not have much cash, but he had plenty of good items.

He and Gu Jinfeng were both intelligent people. Long ago, they had learned the importance of saving money, earning money, and collecting valuable items. Like Gu Qingyao, who had previously obtained large quantities of gold, silver, and gemstones on the black market, Gu Jinhang also had such items.

But he did not have as many as Gu Qingyao.

Gu Qingyao laughed. "All right, I'll prepare a selection for you."

That satisfied Gu Jinhang. He stroked Gu Qingyao's head. "All right, go to bed! I'll return you the money. There's no need to discuss that."

He was really embarrassed to ask his younger cousin for money. Now there were plenty of opportunities. Given time, he would certainly be able to earn the entire sum.

With that, Gu Jinhang turned to go to his room.

But Gu Qingyao reached out and grabbed his arm. "Second Cousin…"

"Hmm?"

Gu Qingyao said earnestly, "Second Cousin, you actually don't need to work so hard."

Gu Jinhang paused.

Gu Qingyao dragged him back to her room, and they sat down together. Gu Qingyao said, "Second Cousin, you're so outstanding. The future of the Gu family depends on you! You don't need to split hairs with the family. Even though you're grown up and have become an adult, you are still a member of the Gu family. You have a share in this family. It's only right that the family gives you some money! You don't need to work so hard and insist on earning everything yourself."

Gu Jinhang did not say anything.

Gu Qingyao continued, "Your strength is not in earning money. The Gu family needs talented men like you and Oldest Cousin. You each have your own areas of strength. The Gu family's future progress depends on you and Oldest Cousin, correct?

"Both of you are best at government work. Then you should play to your strengths. There's no need to worry about earning money. You can leave that to the person who is best at that. Fourth Cousin is now in business, and I'm in business too. It's enough for us to be earning money.

"I know you may be thinking I'm a girl and your younger cousin. As my older cousin, you need to protect me. In the future, I will be getting married and so on, but, Second Cousin, I will need your help in business too. Jin Jiang Restaurant is doing so well that many people are using their family status to try to barge in and take a share of the profits! But you helped me to get rid of them, right? You've helped me so much, isn't it only fair that I share some money with you?"

Gu Jinhang said, "We have our own considerations. You are going to get married. Even brothers must keep fair accounts, much less when you're our younger cousin. We're used to taking care of you since you were young. In the future, we will continue to protect you. What is yours is yours. I'm your older cousin - how can I possibly spend your money? It's not as if I can't pay you back."
