“Then I’ll thank you in advance! Fifth Cousin, you’re so smart. Go for it! Then all those playboys in the capital will be forced to sit up and take notice of you. They’ll realize that our Gu family doesn’t just have the steady and mature Oldest Cousin, the smart and slick Second Cousin, but also the young and accomplished Fifth Cousin!”

“Hahahaha!” Gu Jinxuan was so delighted that he burst out laughing.

“What has made you laugh so happily? I could hear your ghastly laughter from miles away.”

Everyone was chatting when they heard voices from the doorway. Gu Qingyao looked up to see that Third Uncle and Third Cousin had returned. It was Third Cousin, Gu Jinlin, who had spoken.

Gu Qingyao’s eyes lit up. “Third Uncle, Third Cousin, why are you back so early?”

It was not yet time for him to knock off and Third Uncle should be at work.

Third Uncle, Gu Yundong, smiled. “I had to go out to attend to some matters, and I’ve just finished. I’ll go back in the afternoon. I thought I would come back for lunch.”

Gu Jinlin said, “I have no lessons, so I came back.”

He was in school now. University classes were more relaxed, so he had come home early that day.

Zhou Ping hurriedly got up. When she saw the sweat on Gu Jinlin’s brow, she immediately went over to wipe it. “Look at you. It’s so hot today; you must be dying of heat traveling to and fro. You should buy a car, then you won’t need to suffer when you travel to school.”

She had just heard Gu Qingyao say that the Qiao family sons all owned many cars and she was immediately tempted.

Gu Jinlin jumped in fright. “Buy a car? No need, no need. Mother, you’re exaggerating. I don’t suffer when I go to school. I can just ride my bicycle.”

Zhou Ping immediately glared at him. “What are you saying? Bicycles are exposed to the wind and the rain. It’s so hot now; aren’t you hot when you travel back and forth? Besides, winter is coming. It’ll be icy and snowy, and the wind is bone-chilling. What if you catch a cold while riding your bicycle? Yao Yao, don’t you agree?”

When Zhou Ping said that, she turned towards Gu Qingyao. “Yao Yao, persuade your Third Cousin. You’ve always been close to him. This brat doesn’t even listen to me, but he will listen to you. You can persuade this stick in the mud. As his younger cousin, don’t you feel sorry for him when you watch him riding his bicycle to school in the depths of winter?”

Gu Qingyao looked at Zhou Ping. She was smiling, but the expression in her eyes had changed!

Gu Jinlin felt that his mother was speaking rather oddly. He hurriedly said, “No need, no need. Really, there is no need. I’m just going to school, and it’s not far! Plenty of students walks to school! If it’s cold in winter, I can just take the bus.

“Mother, a car is so expensive. I don’t have enough savings. Anyway, I’m saving up for my wedding!”

Zhou Ping immediately despised him. “The family will pay for your wedding! Will they possibly look on if you can’t afford to get married? You don’t need to save so much…”

“Enough!” Gu Jinlin interrupted her before she could finish. “I will need money for my wedding, and Little Five will need money for his wedding. Little Seven and Little Eight are growing up and will need to get married in the future. Father’s salary is just sufficient to support the two of you and Little Seven and Little Eight. Do you still have money for my wedding?”

Zhou Ping could barely suppress herself.

“If we have no money, what about your grandparents? Is the family short of money for your wedding? How much did your Second Cousin spend on his wedding? When you get married, you won’t get any less. You must certainly buy a car. Yao Yao…”

“Mother, what’s the matter with you? Why are you asking me to buy a car out of the blue? I won’t do it. Even if my grandparents give me a large red packet when I get married, I still have to pay my share! At my age, how can I ask the family for money for everything?”
