"Oh? So what kind of business did you close?" Nan Jin Yu appeared in the doorway, spinning his wheelchair, his face indifferent, revealing no emotions.
Gu Nian jogged over, "It’s that smoked sausage business..."
After Gu Nian finished telling the whole story, she realized Nan Jin Yu was just staring at her, not saying a word.
"What’s wrong?" Gu Nian thought she might have said something inappropriate.
"Are you very short of money?" To her surprise, Nan Jin Yu leisurely said, "If you’re short of money, I can give you some."
Gu Nian burst into laughter, "Whether I’m short of money or not, who would ever say they have too much money?"
What he offered wasn’t earned by her, so spending it wouldn’t bring peace of mind.
Moreover, between Nan Jin Yu and her, he might have his reasons, and she was seeking shelter from him, but he wouldn’t raise her forever, so she ultimately had to rely on herself.
Besides, Gu Nian’s goal was to achieve fame and then find Gu Bei, not just settle for basic needs.
"Master, the young master had Miss Gu bring back some dishes from the restaurant; shall I get the kitchen to heat them up?" Wuxin asked.
Nan Jin Yu raised his hand, and Wuxin went away.
Gu Nian frowned and asked him, "It’s already this time, why haven’t you eaten yet?"
"I did," Nan Jin Yu’s thin lips slightly parted, "It’s just that the weather is too hot, and my appetite isn’t very good, so I ate less."
"You, you’re just too delicate and always picky with food. If you have the time, go look at the kids in the village. They get excited for a full meal; nobody dares to be picky!" Gu Nian didn’t even realize she was so naturally relaxed around Nan Jin Yu, "By the way, I bought a girl in town today; do you know why she was sold?"
"Why?" For the first time, under a reprimand, Nan Jin Yu remained so composed.
"Because her family is poor, there’s no food, and she eats too much. The family couldn’t afford to keep her, so they had to sell her..." It’s sad to say, to prevent his daughter from starving, the old man was willing to give her away.
However, Gu Nian bought Cuihua for a reason, not purely to do good, so the Silver had to be paid.
"There are plenty of poor people in this world who aren’t picky simply because they don’t have the luxury to be." In reality, as people acquire more, they naturally become choosy.
Nan Jin Yu was relatively fine; apart from being particular about food, he didn’t have any other bad habits.
Yet his words made Gu Nian pout her lips, "What, do you look down on poor people?" Original content can be found at novel※fire.net
She was still one of the poor people!
"Ha!" Nan Jin Yu chuckled lightly at Gu Nian’s dramatic expression.
"Alright, alright, the dishes have been delivered to you anyway. I’m busy, so I’m going home first." Gu Nian said as she turned around.
Unexpectedly, Nan Jin Yu reached out and held her small hand, "Don’t go yet; stay and eat with me."
Alone, his appetite was particularly weak.
But this girl, when she ate, wasn’t picky at all. Watching her enjoying her food, he could manage a few more bites.
Gu Nian used to be a picky eater too, being a chef herself, she found it difficult to swallow unpalatable meals.
But since crossing over, living conditions had drastically declined to the point where being well-fed and clothed was a luxury, naturally becoming one with no right to be picky.
