Chapter 735 - My Hard-Earned Money
Gu Qingyao took out Gu Yunshuang’s clothes. Gu Yunshuang was in her middle-age, thus Gu Qingyao selected a suit that gave off a capable disposition very suitable for the current Gu Yunshuang.
The present Gu Yunshuang was worlds apart from when she was still in the countryside back then. After she came to the capital, she did not need to work in the field anymore. Furthermore, with the liberal environment now, she could think of ways to earn money to support both herself and her daughter. She was even studying as well, and her entire demeanor was now completely different.
Gu Fangting was studying in the capital now. The college entrance examination had no age restriction this year, so Gu Yunshuang took part in it as well. Now, she was studying in the same school as her daughter but was one grade lower than her daughter.
She was studying law.
Gu Fangting’s eyes lit up at the sight of Gu Yunshuang’s suit. “Sister, your judgment is amazing. My mother would definitely look amazing in this.”
Gu Yunshuang was a little shy. “uh… Can I wear this? It’s too fashionable, and no one wears like this outside.”
Gu Fangting hurriedly cut in, “Who said that? Mother, quickly try it on. It will definitely look very good. I saw many people wearing skirts and dresses on the streets already. Some are very pretty, but none are as stunning as this one that Cousin bought. Hurry, try it on!”
Gu Qingyao let Gu Yunshuang try on the clothes while she retrieved the accessories.
She bought Gu Yunshuang two necklaces, two pairs of bracelets and two gorgeous diamond rings.
Gu Yunshuang was older, so the diamonds were not small, and the cost was pricier.
As the times developed, the clans in the capital would gradually return to normal, and the wealthy ladies would quickly lead luxurious lives. Now, the Gu family was in the social circle as well, and Gu Yunshuang came into contact with many people usually. The Gu family did not lack things like jade bangles but more modern and fashionable items like diamonds, so it would be good for Gu Yunshuang to have them.
After changing the outfit, Gu Yunshuang saw the jewelry Gu Qingyao bought for her and was embarrassed to accept such a beautiful and large diamond ring.
“Uh… Yao Yao! This must not be cheap, right! These are too much. I will accept the clothes, but you can keep these accessories for yourself! As your wedding dowry in the future!”
“Pfft…” Gu Qingyao chuckled. “Young Aunt, I specially bought these presents for you all. Your presents are indeed more costly than Tingting’s, but it’s because she is still young, so I didn’t buy anything too costly. Hers are exquisite and for her to wear out for fun. But yours is different!”
“Just accept it! The other aunts have theirs too, including Sister-in-law. I prepared for all of them.”
Hearing that everyone had presents, Gu Yunshuang knew that Gu Qingyao must have spent quite a sum of money. She was a student, and the money spent must definitely come from the Qiao’s.
“These… these jewelry are from your mother, aren’t they? We cannot accept them. You are clear about our family situation too. We still have some assets. These are too expensive. You can keep it for yourself.”
How would Gu Qingyao not understand the situation? “Young Aunt, I bought these with my hard-earned money. I specially brought it back for you all. You must not reject me! I earned a lot of money outside over the past few years!”
Gu Yunshuang was stunned. “Your hard-earned money?”
“That’s right! The environment overseas is much more open and liberal than here, and there’s plenty of people doing business. The Qiao family manages a lot of businesses, and the place where I studied had many prestigious schools. Over the past few years, apart from studying, of course I had to think of ways to earn money. With my mother and uncles teaching me, I earned quite a sum!
“Oh, right. And fourth cousin! He is an intelligent person. There’s plenty of opportunities overseas and no restrictions. Everyone can develop freely as long as they have the capability. He’s earned quite a lot too!”
