Chapter 6 provides a startup fund!
Gu Yunting looked up at Su Mengxue. As he had always been emotionally insensitive, he naturally didn't like this strange woman who suddenly broke into his life. He was willing to marry her out of responsibility, and since she didn't want to, he didn't want to force her.
However, after what happened, her future will definitely be difficult. Thinking of this, he felt that he should make a promise to her.
His voice suddenly became serious. "If you feel this marriage is too difficult, then forget it. However, if you regret it in the future, I am still willing to fulfill my promise and marry you."
Gu Yunting's words were powerful. Su Mengxue could see that he really wanted to be responsible for her, and she couldn't help but put herself in Gu Yunting's shoes.
In fact, he was also a victim in this matter, but he did not find excuses to shirk responsibility and took responsibility to marry the original owner. As for his indifference, it was also due to his misunderstanding of the original owner.
The only thing he did wrong was that he should not have been ambiguous with other women while married. If he had been honest with the original owner earlier, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided.
She looked at Gu Yunting and couldn't help but say, "Gu Yunting, if you are forced to marry a woman you don't like, it will do you no good except to waste your lives."
Although Gu Yunting didn't know much about Su Mengxue, he knew that she was an illiterate country girl. When he heard her say such insightful words, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
As he was thinking, he saw Su Mengxue seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he asked directly: "If you have any concerns, please feel free to raise them. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."
Seeing that Gu Yunting spoke frankly, Su Mengxue no longer hesitated: "Gu Yunting, you should also know my parents' thoughts. If they knew that I broke off the engagement with the Gu family, I'm afraid they would beat me to death. So I don't want to go back to the countryside for the time being. Can you lend me..."
"Is 200 yuan enough?" She was interrupted by Gu Yunting before she could finish her words.
"200 yuan?" Just as Su Mengxue was wondering how much use 200 yuan would have in this day and age, Gu Yunting added, "I'll give you 300 yuan. It's not a loan, it's a little compensation."
300? This time Su Mengxue didn't say anything. She remembered that the book said that Gu Yunting's salary and allowance added up to 80 yuan per month. Gu Yunting was willing to give her half a year's salary, which was very sincere.
When she thought about using the money to rent a house or start a business, she instantly felt confident. The corners of her lips lifted unconsciously: "Of course, then I won't be polite to you."
Su Mengxue originally wanted to return it to him when she made money in the future, but seeing his chauvinistic attitude, she decided to just give it to him directly when she made money in the future.
Gu Yunting noticed a faint smile on Su Mengxue's lips when she said this. Every time he saw her in the past, she was cautious. This was the first time he saw her smile. It turned out that she looked so beautiful when she smiled.
His Adam's apple rolled heavily as he said, "I'll give you the money tomorrow. There's one more thing I'd like you to do for me. Tomorrow is my father's 70th birthday, and I hope you can come with me. Please keep the cancellation of the engagement a secret for now. I'll explain it to him slowly after his birthday party."
Su Mengxue thought of the plot in the book. The original owner came to the Gu family this time specifically to celebrate Gu Changhe's birthday. It would be unreasonable for her to leave suddenly. Moreover, the old man of the Gu family did not show any partiality in handling this matter. Not only that, Gu Yunting also promised to give her a start-up fund, and she should give him this face.
She replied readily: "No problem, I promise you."
Seeing that she agreed, Gu Yunting turned his head to look at the pitch-black night outside, then turned back to look at her, his eyes darkening: "It's getting late, I'm leaving."
After Gu Yunting left, the first thing Su Mengxue did was to look in the mirror. When she saw the original owner's true appearance, she was suddenly stunned. The original owner actually had a face that was extremely similar to hers.
Both of them have oval faces, willow-shaped eyebrows, big eyes, red lips, white teeth, and small, straight noses.
It's just that the original owner didn't wear makeup or use hyaluronic acid, so her face looked more natural. Not only that, the original owner's hair was black and shiny, without any artificial dyeing or curling, which she couldn't compare to.
To be honest, the original owner was not as good as her in some aspects. Her skin was not as fair and translucent as hers, and could even be described as rough. Also, her dress was too tacky.
She was wearing an ill-fitting khaki shirt, a pair of white canvas shoes, and two ponytails on her head. She looked very old-fashioned.
When she thought of this, she felt sorry for the original owner. After all, the book described the original owner as doing farm work all year round, exposed to wind and sun, and she had no money to take care of her skin, so her skin condition must not be very good.
Moreover, the original owner's adoptive parents were extremely stingy with her. The blouse she was wearing was taken off her body and given to her by the original owner's adoptive mother Wu Xianghong before she came to Jiangbei.
They wanted to rely on the original owner to marry into the Gu family and climb up the social ladder, but they were unwilling to invest a penny in the original owner. It was really hateful.
She secretly sighed and thought that it was such a waste for the original owner to have such good looks. If her skin was moist and fair, and she dressed up carefully, she would be truly impeccable.
However, for Su Mengxue, who has been taking care of her skin for many years, helping the original owner restore her skin is not a difficult task. After all, the original owner is only 22 years old now, and there is still time.
As for makeup and dressing up? She's a talented fashion designer who's won numerous awards and has excellent aesthetic taste, so this is a no-brainer.
After admiring the original owner's beauty, she walked out of the house and came to the yard. She looked around the entire yard. The yard was not small and had a total of seven rooms.
The house has two courtyards, an outer courtyard and an outer door. It seems that all the members of the Gu family live together, but each has a separate courtyard.
On the north side of the courtyard are three main rooms, two bedrooms, and a living room. There are also two side rooms on the east and west sides. The one on the east side is a bathroom and a toilet, and the one on the west side is a study and a kitchen.
After the visit, she put her chin in her hand and sighed that although this place was far from being as big as her villa, it was small but had everything.
Moreover, if this courtyard house of the Gu family was placed in modern times, its market value would be at least hundreds of millions. The Gu family was indeed wealthy, especially in the 1980s when materials were scarce. She remembered that many people still went to public bathrooms and toilets.
After locking the door of the courtyard, she went into the bathroom first. She saw a water jar filled with water, with a gourd ladle in the jar. Next to the jar were a wooden rack and an enamel basin with a white towel on top. There was also a piece of soap in the brass soap box.
Her eyes swept across the corner, where there was a wooden tub about a meter high, probably used for bathing. She noticed that the soap was stained with tiny water droplets, and there were still wet water stains in the wooden tub, which clearly showed that this place had been used not long ago.
She curled her lips in disgust. There were no women's products here. It was obvious that a rough man had lived in this house before. Moreover, the water in the water jar was only cold. How was she going to wash?
