Chapter 859: Deciding To Marry Mo Yunhao (4)

Gu Ruoqing looked at the necklace in her hand. “You really don’t have money?”

Bai Youran said, “Please, although the Bai family holds a lofty position, it has never been very wealthy. My grandfather was a farmer. Times were hard previously, and everyone barely had enough to eat. A family like ours merely escaped starvation. The entire household’s expenses depended on the salaries of a few people who were only paid a few dozen yuan a month. How much money do you think a girl like me could save?”

Gu Ruoqing did not say anything.

Bai Youran said, “I’m telling you the truth. I have no reason to lie to you. You just need to be a little more patient now. I’m the Bai family’s young lady, which gives me the opportunity to marry many rich and powerful men. Wait for me to establish myself, and I’ll introduce you and give you a chance to marry into a wealthy family too.

“How will you ever have a chance to interact with those rich men without me? Besides, even if you interacted with them and got to know them, would they respect you? Would they marry you?”

Gu Ruoqing did not say a word.

She knew that Bai Youran was telling the truth.

In recent times, Bai Youran’s money had made her life much more comfortable.

Everything she ate, wore, or used was of good quality. She and her mother dressed up and looked much prettier than before.

They often went to Jin Jiang Restaurant in hopes of getting to know some rich men and making friends with them. Then they would marry a rich man.

Although they got to know many men, no one was truly willing to marry her. She had been with two men, but in the end, they had actually tried to dismiss her with twenty yuan while looking lofty, as if they were giving to charity.

She got much less from them than she got from Bai Youran.

It was true that she would have no opportunity to interact with the people in Bai Youran’s circle if she just depended on herself.

Gu Ruoqing said, “All right, I’ll believe you this once. You had better hurry up. I don’t have the patience to wait for you!

“Bai Youran, if you can give me the life of a rich, young lady, of course I will help you keep your secret. But if you are of no use to me, then… there’s no point in leaving you be. I might as well make sure you become like me so that the Bai family drives you out and you wander streets without a home!”

This time, Gu Ruoqing left. But Bai Youran believed her!

She knew that Gu Ruoqing was telling the truth.

If she could not find a way to continually give her money, she would go around announcing Bai Youran’s status. The people in upper society loved a joke. Then it would not matter whether there was proof or not. She would become fodder for gossip.

She looked so much like Zhang Xiaohui that the Bai family would certainly have its suspicions. Once their suspicions were aroused, they would not continue to be so good to her. Without her status, everyone would mock her and bully her.

And as for Mo Yunhao, would he still pursue her if she were not the Bai family’s daughter?

The moment Bai Youran got home, she saw her mother, Zheng Min, returning. The moment they met, Zheng Min dragged her into her room.

“Youran, I’ve gotten reliable news that Mo Beihan really did lose money recently. He made a huge loss. I heard that it’s about three hundred thousand yuan. Rumors are flying now. Old Master Mo is shocked and is finding ways to help him pay his debt!”

Bai Youran was stunned!

She felt unable to process the information!

“T-Three hundred thousand? Mother, are you lying to me? Did… did I hear wrongly?”

Zheng Min hurriedly said, “No, you heard correctly. It really is three hundred thousand. Many people have heard this piece of news!”

Bai Youran: “…”
