Ji Mingyue said in a small voice, “No, I know you’re very capable. But… your salary isn’t that high! Even if you saved a lot from all your years of work, it’s still not enough to buy a house.
“I know your family is rich, but… it’s not nice to ask your family for too much when we get married, right? Or… it won’t be easy to answer… to your family?”
Gu Jinhang smiled. “I’m only taking my portion. Don’t worry. I know my limits. You have to trust my abilities.”
The Gu family had its own property and wealth. All the children of the Gu family had a share in it. Gu Jinhang had an epiphany after his chat with Gu Qingyao. Every family needed talented people in various professions in order to grow strong. His younger cousins were in business, so he would take care of the government side of things.
They helped and protected each other, so he obviously had a share in the wealth.
Of course his competition with Mo Beihan would continue. His protection of his younger cousin would never change. But it would not be a blind competition as it had been before.
“Also…” Gu Jinhang raised his head and looked at her. “Give me a kiss, and I promise to settle everything!”
Ji Mingyue blushed and did not move! Gu Jinhang looked at her small, flushed face and reached out and pressed her little head down.
The chauffeur in front tried to make himself smaller. He looked straight ahead and did not even dare to take a sideways glance. He slowed down and drove steadily.
“I’m home. Go back and rest earlier, or you’ll certainly have a headache tomorrow!”
Gu Jinhang had gotten what he wanted, so he was in a good mood. He leaned back and smiled at her. “All right, go home!”
**
Bai Youran and Mo Yunhao had gotten engaged very quickly. Both of them wanted to settle the matter swiftly and get married as soon as possible.
When Jiang Hongying and Mo Yunhao smugly announced the news to Old Master Mo, Old Master Mo just sat there and stared at them blankly. “Have you thought this through?”
Jiang Hongying smiled and said, “Of course. Old Master, Youran is a wealthy young girl from a rich family. Our Yunhao is also well-born. The two families are well-matched. The Bai family is worthy of our Mo Family. It’s such a good match. Surely you can’t be displeased with it?”
“What if I disapprove? Will you still continue?”
Jiang Hongying’s expression changed. She was immediately displeased!
“Old Master, why would you disapprove? Youran and Yunhao love each other so much and our families are compatible. Why shouldn’t they be together? Yunhao has made so much progress lately. It’s only right that he marry a girl from a wealthy family.”
Mo Yunhao also stood up in fright. “That’s right, Grandfather. Both Youran and I are suited in every way. Why would you disapprove? I’m not young anymore. It’s time I got married. Which other rich, young girl in the capital could be better than Youran?”
Old Master Mo ignored Jiang Hongying and looked at Mo Yunhao. “You think that Bai Youran is splendid, better than many of the young girls in the capital, right?”
Mo Yunhao raised his head. “Of course. Few girls in the capital could be better than Youran.”
“What are her good points?”
Mo Yunhao was taken aback!
What were her good points?
He paused and said, “Her family background is good. She’s the only granddaughter of the Bai family… she’s pretty… also… also…”
