Gu Qingyao disagreed. Why would it be shameful? Part of the familys wealth belongs to you. Marriage is an important event. We cant possibly allow you to prepare for it yourself.

Besides, youre getting older. Hurry up and get married! When Grandfather and Grandma and the others find out, theyll be elated.

Gu Jinhang smiled. Theres no need for the family to go to such an expense. But when the time comes, Ill 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, isnt she? Can you get a hold of two sets of good quality jewelry? It doesnt matter if its expensive. Ill 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 quant.i.ties 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, Ill prepare a selection for you.

That satisfied Gu Jinhang. He stroked Gu Qingyaos head. All right, go to bed! Ill return you the money. Theres no need to discuss that.

He was really embarra.s.sed 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 dont 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, youre so outstanding. The future of the Gu family depends on you! You dont need to split hairs with the family. Even though youre grown up and have become an adult, you are still a member of the Gu family. You have a share in this family. Its only right that the family gives you some money! You dont 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 familys future progress depends on you and Oldest Cousin, correct?

Both of you are best at government work. Then you should play to your strengths. Theres 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 Im in business too. Its enough for us to be earning money.

I know you may be thinking Im 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? Youve helped me so much, isnt 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 youre our younger cousin. Were used to taking care of you since you were young. In the future, we will continue to protect you. What is yours is yours. Im your older cousin how can I possibly spend your money? Its not as if I cant pay you back.
