Like her older cousin, she learned to draw and embroider when she was young. She knew a lot about color schemes and aesthetics. Today, it had become very profitable.
“Oh, that’s right!” Gu Fangting looked at everyone. “The renovations for my mother’s new house are done. Come over when you have time! The new house is very pretty. My mother and I worked very hard to get the renovations done. Do come to my house when you’re free.”
Only then did Gu Jinxuan remember that he had not really seen his Youngest Aunt and Gu Fangting at Second Uncle’s house during the month that he was staying with them. He assumed they were staying in the school hostel because they were still studying!
Now… they had a house?
“You’ve bought a house?”
Gu Fangting said excitedly, “That’s right! It’s not far from the school. It’s a two-storey house at the foot of the hill. It’s three hundred square meters. We’ve done it up beautifully.”
“Three hundred square meters!!!”
Gu Jinxuan could not maintain his composure any longer. “You… Three hundred square meters just for the two of you?”
Their entire family only had 180 square meters!
Gu Fangting nodded. “That’s right! My mother stays on the ground floor while I stay on the second floor. My mother has a bedroom, a dressing room, a study and so on. I also have a bedroom, study, dressing room, and a drawing room. If the space is too small, it won’t be sufficient to meet our needs!”
Gu Jinxuan: “…”
He felt as though his heart was about to explode!
“How did all of you become so rich? Did Grandma give you money?”
“Of course not!” Gu Fangting said, “My mother and I were homeless in our earlier years. We’ve been staying with Second Uncle’s family for so long; how could we ask Grandma for money? We worked very hard to buy a small house outside. Now that we have the money, we’ve bought a large one. We’ve been renovating for several months and now it is finally ready.”
Gu Fangting glanced at Li Qingdan. “Oh! Although I’m the one working with Cousin-in-law, actually, my mother can do these things too! My mother used to know all those old ladies back in our hometown. Some of them even introduced my mother to some tailoring experts! The clothes they make are beautiful.
“I’m in charge of designing and my mother is the manager. We mostly do bespoke tailoring for rich people. My mother and I are still studying, so we don’t have much time for business. This gives us more flexibility.”
Gu Jinxuan: “…”
He felt as if his world was collapsing.
Gu Qingyao had been sitting there all along, without saying anything. She was observing Gu Jinxuan’s reaction.
She was quite pleased with Fifth Cousin’s reaction. She had been worried that he had turned into a worthless playboy, but now it looked as if the Gu genes had dominated. Fifth Cousin had not yet completely transformed into a hateful person.
Gu Qingyao laughed. “Fifth Cousin, are you very surprised? Actually, once you start a business, it really brings in a lot of money. Now there are many opportunities on the market. There are shortages in everything. Let me tell you! Chen Feng and Chen Qingqing, who are from our hometown, are also here in the capital. They have a small roadside stall selling dumplings, wontons and noodles, and they also make a few thousand yuan a month! Within half a year, they made enough money to go to school.”
When Gu Jinxuan heard all this, he suddenly felt that he should also do something. These people were just too rich. He was used to having fun and only taking care of himself. His parents had never pressured him much.
After coming to the capital, his mother had continually told him that his family was rich, and he could have whatever he wanted.. But the truth was that it was not so easy to get money from his grandparents.
