She subconsciously felt that Guan Hongqi would definitely accept the money; after all, it was only natural for an older sister to give money to her younger brother, and Guan Wenru seemed so wealthy…
However, Guan Hongqi's reaction was completely unexpected!
He recoiled as if burned, his face instantly darkening.
His brow furrowed, his tone clearly displeased and stubborn, "Sis! What are you doing! Take it back!"
Without a word, he grabbed Guan Wenru's hand almost rudely and forcefully stuffed the wad of money back into her apron pocket, his movements resolute, even a little angry.
“I get over a hundred yuan a month in allowances and subsidies! How could I possibly need your money? I have my own money! Keep your money for yourself, or give it to your parents, or to buy something nice for Yiyi and the others! What’s the point of giving it to me?”
Guan Wenru was taken aback by his strong reaction, and tried to take it out again, "Look at you! Why are you being so formal with me? I'm your sister! What's wrong with giving you some pocket money? Aren't you dating someone right now? You have a lot of expenses..."
"Even dating doesn't mean I should spend your money!" Guan Hongqi retorted, his attitude unusually firm, his voice rising slightly, attracting the attention of nearby waiters who glanced over furtively. "I have hands and feet, I have allowances, I can support myself, and I can... I can be good to my future wife! What would I become if I used your money? Put it away now! Otherwise, I'll really get angry!"
The siblings pushed and shoved each other a few times in the store, one insisting on giving it to the other, while the other refused no matter what.
Lin Wei watched from the side, her smile almost freezing on her face!
My heart is bleeding!
What an idiot!
So much money!
They don't want it!
He even threw a tantrum at his sister? She wished she could take that money from Guan Hongqi instead!
But on the surface, you still have to maintain an awkward yet polite smile.
In the end, Guan Wenru could only sigh helplessly, stuff the money back into her pocket, and compromise, "Fine, fine, if you don't want it, then don't! Still throwing such a tantrum with your sister! You stubborn mule!"
Guan Hongqi's expression softened when he saw that she had taken it back, but he still muttered, "I shouldn't have taken it in the first place."
Before my grandmother passed away, my mother and sister-in-law were not clear-headed and had conflicts with my grandmother and sister over money.
From that moment on, he decided that no matter how much money his family had, he wouldn't want it!
He knew his family must have a lot of good things and money, but those were left by his grandmother to his sister, and even his father couldn't covet them!
Of course, he couldn't accept even a single penny, including the courtyard house in his home!
He did want to change careers and return to Beijing.
But he was afraid that the position he was assigned would leave him nowhere to live, and if he came back, he would have to live in a courtyard house.
My mother is still clear-headed now, but in a few years, she'll probably start talking to my sister about the ownership of the courtyard house!
He didn't want these things to worsen his mother's and sister's relationship again!
He contacted his older brother, who also said that everything Grandma left behind belonged to his sister, and that the brothers didn't want it!
Lin Wei was utterly disappointed when she saw that he didn't want a single penny.
But she still stepped forward to smooth things over, her smile becoming even gentler and more considerate. "Sister, don't be angry. Hongqi is just like that; he's very stubborn."
He's just worried about you and doesn't want you to get tired. Actually, we don't have anywhere in particular we want to go today. We'll just stay here and see if there's anything we can do to help, even if it's just clearing the dishes. Otherwise, Hongqi won't be able to enjoy himself properly because he'll be thinking about you."
That was a beautifully said statement!
Looking at her younger brother's still somewhat awkward face, and then at the understanding Lin Wei, Guan Wenru felt a warmth turn from her helplessness.
She knew her younger brother genuinely cared for her.
She finally smiled and stopped insisting. "Alright, alright, you can stay if you want, but don't bother helping out. I have enough people to handle."
"You two, go sit at the cashier and help me check the ledger and verify the orders. Think of it as supervising me, okay?"
She found them an easy yet seemingly important job, which satisfied their wishes without making them actually do any hard work.
Guan Hongqi nodded in satisfaction, "That's acceptable."
Lin Wei smiled and replied, "Okay, don't worry, sister, we will definitely check carefully."
The two were seated behind the cashier.
Lin Wei watched as the restaurant grew increasingly popular, and smelled the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen…
Listening to the constant sounds of money being collected and accounts being settled…
Thinking back to the stack of ten-yuan notes that Guan Hongqi had just turned down, I felt a mix of emotions.
She looked at Guan Hongqi, who was carefully examining the account books beside her, her expression extremely complicated.
Did she marry an idiot?
