In her previous life, Gu Wanxing devoted her heart and soul to supporting her husband and raising their daughter, toiling like an ox and horse for half a lifetime, only to be killed by her ungratef...
Chapter 222 Give Money If You Don’t Agree
"So urgent?" The old man suddenly came around from the table and asked in surprise.
He thought the child would stay here until the New Year.
He also wanted to keep the girl here to celebrate the New Year.
"Well, I have a lot of things to do at home. The clothing store is the busiest during the first year, and my factory is also preparing to recruit people and purchase machines."
Gu Wanxing told the truth.
A hint of reluctance flashed across Gong Yunqi's eyes, but he still expressed understanding.
Thinking that the kid had never been to the supermarkets and real estate projects owned by Gong’s group, the old man turned around and went back to his table.
He dragged out an army green cloth bag from the small cabinet under the table with great effort.
The bag was slightly smaller than her duffel bag, but it was bulging with cash.
Gong Jizhi: ...
Gu Wanxing: ...
Meeting the identical looks from his son and granddaughter, Gong Yunqi feigned a toothache and said, "Little girls look better with two pigtails."
He remembered that Bai Qing always had two pigtails when she was a child.
“???” Gu Wanxing didn’t understand for a moment. Why couldn’t she just tie her hair into a braid?
I think it looks pretty good, so today I specially braided a loose four-strand braid with Fu Yiyi and let it hang in front of my chest.
Gong Yunqi didn't elaborate on his words, but placed the bag of money at his granddaughter's feet. "Aren't you going to build a factory? I asked Secretary Feng to get this money for you the day before yesterday. You can use it to buy equipment when the time comes."
Gu Wanxing glanced at her father and saw that he looked calm, so she didn't expect anything from him. She said, "Grandpa, you've already given me a lot. I think that's enough. If I need money, I can earn it myself. I can't accept this."
This bag is worth at least one million, how could I possibly want more?
However, after seeing the old man's generosity, she was somewhat influenced and felt that one million was not so shocking anymore.
"Your grandfather gives you money whenever there's a disagreement. Take it, so you don't need to worry about running out of money. Your grandfather needs everything except money. Look, he has several cars in his backyard garage. Pick one and drive back."
Gong Jizhi said with a smile that he was stunned by his father's generosity at first, but then he thought that it was for his own child and no amount of money would be too much.
"Forget about the car. They're all old. Just drive the red one for now. I'll get you a nice one tomorrow, one for girls."
What is that red car? It’s a mistress’s car. It’s not generous at all. The old man muttered to himself.
The old man smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed for the first time. He advised again, "Keep the money in your bag. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to go back and get it. It would be much more convenient if you could just load it onto the truck and take it away. Let Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang take turns driving, and you don't have to drive yourself."
Seeing his daughter's embarrassment, Gong Jizhi quickly said to her father, "Dad, if the child doesn't want it, forget it."
He couldn't bear to see his daughter frown.
"Here, let's put everything else aside. Your pills are worth much more than this. Grandpa knows the price."
Hearing this, Gu Wanxing raised his head and met the old man's kind and gentle eyes.
At this moment, he really looked like an ordinary old man, with only his descendants in his heart and eyes.
It was the first time that Gu Wanxing felt this kind of feeling from this old man. Even before she took the pill, she felt that this old man was imposing. To be more precise, he was strong. He was a very strong and domineering old man.
"Okay, then I thank you, Grandpa."
She nodded in agreement, and smiles appeared on the faces of the father and son.
"Go ahead, go back and have a good rest. Oh, and take this."
The old man hurried to the cabinet, took out a brown paper bag and handed it to Gu Wanxing.
She opened it and found it was a contract between Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang.
"They will belong to you from now on. You just pay them, and I won't be in charge anymore."
"Um."
Gu Wanxing took a quick look and realized it was a lifetime contract. Isn't this just a contract to sell one's body? Why would one sign such a contract?
However, the salary and benefits are quite good, and even things like getting married and starting a family are written into the contract.
Gong Jizhi carried the bag of money and returned it to his daughter's yard.
Then he reluctantly reminded her, "Go back and eat well. Don't get too tired. Let Dashuang and Xiaoshuang accompany you. Dad is afraid that woman will hit you again."
Hearing this, Gu Wanxing sneered, and felt a little warm in his heart: "Okay, you should go back and rest early."
Finally, she paused and said, "Fu Zheng has set a date for the wedding on November 16th. I'm in a hurry to go back. Do you... want to go?"
Gu Wanxing hesitated. She was actually afraid of hearing the words "busy".
Gong Jizhi was about to go back, but upon hearing the voice, his eyes immediately lit up: "Really? Then Dad must go."
"What about Grandpa?"
Gu Wanxing thought that since he had asked him, he couldn't be partial to one and ignore the other, so he decided to ask the old man.
Out of courtesy.
"You go back, I'll go tell him that we haven't finished talking yet."
Gong Jizhi was very happy, his excited voice became much clearer, and he looked more energetic.
Gu Wanxing picked up the purse at his feet and returned to the house.
The little girl had already taken a bath and was lying in bed.
When Fu Yiyi saw her sister-in-law coming back, she immediately raised her body and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I feel that my life is complete. Feixiang is so handsome. I really like him, so much."
Seeing that she was still very excited and hadn't calmed down yet, Gu Wanxing quickly put the bag under the desk, walked to the bedside, looked at her seriously and said, "You can like her, but don't get caught up in it. The only things in this world that won't betray you are your parents and the money in your pocket. All relationships are about profit."
"Then are we also in the interest of this?"
Fu Yiyi asked, blinking her big, clear eyes.
Gu Wanxing thought, I guess so, because she is Fu Zheng's sister, that's why she takes her with her and accommodates her.
"We're not related by interest, but we met because of your brother, right? It's just a matter of cause and effect. Continuing with what I was saying, what I want to tell you is that this star is very popular right now, and you like him because he can bring you..."
Before Gu Wanxing finished speaking, she was interrupted by the little girl. Her eyes were serious and her tone was serious:
"Sister-in-law, I know what you mean. I understand everything. I won't let myself get caught up in this. Maybe when I grow up, get married and have children, my mentality will change."
Seeing her serious expression, Gu Wanxing couldn't help laughing. She nodded slightly: "You know a lot, and you even got married and had children."
That's exactly what she meant. She wanted to tell her that pursuing a celebrity would not get any response, and if she got caught up in it, it would only hurt herself.
I still remember that in my previous life, there was a girl who pursued a star, and her parents gave everything they had to help their child pursue her.
What they got was a lower quality of life, no money and no house, and the whole family had to rely on odd jobs to survive.
So why bother?
Seeing that she was clear-headed, Gu Wanxing stopped talking and started packing his luggage for tomorrow's departure.
"You go to sleep first, I'll pack my luggage."
"Yeah, sister-in-law, I'm going to sleep first. My throat is sore from shouting today. I don't know which ones you want to take away, so I've folded all your clothes. You can pack them in yourself."
Gu Wanxing indeed saw the clothes stacked at the end of the bed. They were the clothes she had worn in the past few days. There were servants at home, and they would wash them. They also took two or three days to dry in the sun.
…
A dreamless night.
The next morning, Gu Wanxing and Fu Yiyi were ready to go, and Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang also took larger suitcases.
This time they might not be able to come back, so the two brothers took almost all the clothes in the house with them.
After breakfast, Gong Jizhi and the old man announced that they would go on together.
Gong Jizhi must attend his child's wedding. He has been absent for twenty-five years. How can he be absent again at the critical moment of the marriage?
The old man thought so too, but what he wanted most was to support his granddaughter. In their line of work, the old man alone had three cars.
Looking at this scene, Gu Wanxing couldn't help laughing.
