If we need money, we have our own hands and feet and will go and earn it. How can we ask for your money?"
Liu Rumeng's words immediately made all the cousins present lower their heads in shame.
On weekdays, they all wanted to make up all kinds of reasons and excuses, or to please their grandfather so as to get some pocket money from him.
However, this cousin Liu Rumeng who came from the mainland was not tempted at all by the huge sum of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and she returned it without any hesitation.
When they first saw this scene, all of them widened their eyes, wondering if Liu Rumeng was stupid? If she had the money, why didn't she want it? Why not?
Anyway, the old man is not short of money, so this little money is nothing to him, right?
However, when they heard what Liu Rumeng said, they, who all had a sense of shame, suddenly felt ashamed.
Mr. Guo was also surprised. He could understand and think about why his daughter Guo Linxian didn't want his money.
After all, my daughter has been stubborn and independent since she was young.
But his granddaughter Liu Rumeng is also so independent, which really surprised and delighted Mr. Guo.
He did not force it any more. After taking back the check, he praised: "Great! Mengmeng, Grandpa never thought that you are as self-reliant as your mother.
But you must remember that grandpa will always be your strong supporter.
Whenever you need money, you must tell your parents about it, okay?
This is Hong Kong Island after all, no matter what you do, it costs money.”
"Okay! Grandpa, thank you."
Liu Rumeng replied with a smile, and from beginning to end she never felt the slightest regret for "losing" the check for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Seeing this, Mr. Guo also took the opportunity to knock on his other grandchildren and said with a smile: "Look, Mengmeng said she has hands and feet, and if she needs money, she can earn it herself.
How about you? From childhood to adulthood, you have always relied on money from your family.
When you shop in a mall, travel, or spend money, doesn’t it feel pleasant and easy?
You also have hands and feet, so shouldn’t you also try and see how you can make money?
Do you know that the workers at the dock only earn 20 or 30 Hong Kong dollars after working hard all day and moving tens of thousands of kilograms of goods?
That's not even enough to buy the fancy sandwich you just ate!"
If it were in the past, these grandchildren would probably turn a deaf ear to the old man's words.
However, after Liu Rumeng just rejected the 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, they all fell into self-reflection.
"Alright! Dad, how can they be the same as us? They have been used to a life of luxury since childhood, and their daily expenses are not small.
How can you possibly understand the feeling that a hero can be killed for a penny?
After these days in Hong Kong Island, I have gained a very thorough understanding.
This is both heaven and hell.
The poor have their own way of living, and the rich have their own way of living.
They were born into the Guo family and are rich.
There is really no need to make them live according to the thinking and ideas of the poor.
As long as one of them can take over and maintain the Guo family's existing business, at least the brothers and sisters will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives."
Guo Linxian said with a smile to smooth things over.
Unexpectedly, after she said this, Mr. Guo became even angrier and slapped the table and said:
"Born rich? They really were born into a good family!
People always say that wealth cannot last for more than three generations. Especially for those who are born rich, it is the easiest to ruin their family.
Ah Xian! We can't take care of them, so you, as their aunt, should take care of them!
I think you have taught Mengmeng very well. I think the three generations of the Guo family should also be handed over to you to discipline. "
"Dad! I... my daughter, once married, is like spilled water. I will discipline them. If nothing else, my two sisters-in-law will not agree.
Besides, they are all grown up now, and they may not listen to what I, their aunt, say. "
Guo Linxian quickly declined, saying that she didn't want to take this job.
If she didn't care about anything in the Guo family, she could still stay by her father's side as a daughter.
But if too many people were involved, Guo Linxian knew very well that she would have no chance to be a brother or sister, and her two brothers might even think that she was here to fight for the family property!
Just then, the phone in the restaurant rang.
As soon as the housekeeper picked up the phone, he immediately said to Guo Linxian, "Miss, it's for you. It's from the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch."
Guo Linxian immediately stood up and answered the phone: "I'm Guo Linxian."
"Director Guo, please come to the branch office as soon as possible. Mr. Liao has arrived in Hong Kong and asked to see you!"
