Chapter 337: It Wasn’t About The Money
Gu Zi lowered her gaze slightly, a hint of amusement in her eyes. Twenty yuan to buy her favor? That was hardly enough. She spoke up, “I’ve nearly spent all the money Su Shen gave me this month. If I ask him for more, he might think my adoptive parents didn’t teach me well, considering how I spend money. Besides, I’ve only just gotten married. It wouldn’t be right to start asking for more money now.”
Just as Gu Zi was about to decline the offer, she saw Gu Shan pull out three more ten-yuan notes, making a total of fifty yuan. He handed it over to her, saying, “This is all the money I have on me. Please, take them.”
Only then did Gu Zi reluctantly accept the fifty yuan, considering it a suitable amount to buy some nutritional supplements for her father.
Gu Zi knew that Gu Shan must have had more than two hundred yuan on him, but she didn’t want him to bleed dry. A little bit at a time was enough. It wasn’t about the money for her, but more about teaching Gu Shan and his family a lesson, to discern right from wrong in the future.
Seeing that Gu Zi had accepted the money, Gu Shan repeatedly urged her and Su Shen to attend the event. He then quickly left with Zhang Mei and Lin Miao, fearing that if he lingered, Gu Zi might find another excuse to ask for more money.
Mother Lin knew that Gu Zi was not a greedy person. Her actions were merely a
reaction to the day’s events, an attempt to teach the Gu family a lesson.
She didn’t think Gu Zit s actions were inappropriate, but when it came to the invitation to attend Lin Miao’s wedding banquet, Mother Lin didn’t really want Gu Zi to attend. After all, if she did, she would inevitably run into people from her past, which would likely upset her.
As the three of them walked away, Mother Lin spoke up, “Little Zi, if you don’t want to go, you really don’t have to.”
She remembered that one of the main reasons Gu Zi didn’t want to leave the Gu family initially was because she didn’t want to leave her fiancé.
Gu Zi and Gong Zhan had grown up together, and their relationship was undoubtedly deep. Mother Lin had met Gong Zhan before and thought that he was a good match for Gu Zi.
Now that Gu Zi was married to someone else and Gong Zhan was about to get married as well, it would probably be best for both of them if they didn’t see each other.
Carrying Su Le, Gu Zi led Mother Lin towards the nutritional supplements section. There was no trace of the sorrow on her face that Mother Lin was worried about. She smiled and said, “I don’t mind going. After all, we’ve already accepted the invitation. It’s only right that we attend.”
