Although he had obtained a tiny amount, he realized that the money he had obtained was nothing compared to his cousins’ expenditure.
He suddenly remembered Third Brother’s words. If he continued to laze around, his cousins would really leave him in the dust.
Gu Qingyao saw that his expression had changed, and she said, “Fifth Cousin, what’s the matter? What are you thinking about?”
Gu Jinxuan frowned. “I’m thinking that all of you are so rich. I must also do something, or I’ll be the only one that’s poor. I have to think of something.”
Gu Qingyao raised her brows and smiled. “Why? You aren’t going to ask our grandparents for money anymore?”
Gu Jinxuan blushed. “The little bit that I can get from them is entirely inadequate.”
Gu Fangting immediately laughed. “Hahaha, Fifth Cousin, you’ve discovered that too! Hehe, to be honest, besides the adults who have jobs, the rest of the children in the family are richer than our grandparents.”
Gu Jinxuan: “…”
How crushing!
Gu Qingyao smiled, “Actually, Ting Ting is entirely right. Our Uncles and Aunts all have their own jobs. They’re progressing in a different area, so we cannot compare ourselves to them. But among the grandchildren, every one of us is richer than our grandparents.
“Our grandparents’ money is just what they managed to retain from their previous fortune. Some of it is the government’s compensation money, but it’s just a small sum.
“They don’t have any income. Every cent they spend is one cent less. If they want more money, they have to go and exchange the few antiques they have for cash. How much can those be worth?
“All of us can make more money with just a small business.”
Gu Jinxuan finally understood.
At first, he had not comprehended the family situation and did not know how capable his cousins were. When he first came to the capital and saw the luxury that Second Uncle’s family lived in, he had been enchanted.
He thought that the family was very rich!
He thought that everyone was living so well by depending on the family!
He suddenly remembered his mother’s words. He immediately felt that they were laughable.
The children in the family disdained to ask their grandparents for money, but his mother kept telling him to ask his grandparents for more spending money. She said it was a waste not to spend their money. If he did not spend their money, other people would and he would lose out!
Gu Jinxuan looked at these people around him and thought about their families, then thought about his family. The gap between his family and the rest of the family struck him once again.
He felt that they could not go on like that!
“I have to find something to do too. Although I’ve transferred my university position to the capital, the workload is not heavy. I have plenty of time. I must carefully consider what to go into.”
Gu Jinxuan bowed his head in thought.
Gu Qingyao chuckled, “Fifth Cousin, if you can think like that, then I won’t worry about you anymore. That’s right; I said I would give you a big present. Now I’ll tell you what it is. When you’ve figured out what to do, you can tell me, and I’ll give you advice. Besides that, I will provide you with your startup capital.”
Gu Jinxuan was shocked. “Really? No… you’re my younger cousin. How could I take your money?”
He should be able to get some money from his family. But his Younger Cousin’s money!
He felt embarrassed.
Gu Qingyao laughed and said, “It’s different. This is among us children. It’s not considered to be family support.. If you can succeed, it will be our achievement. Don’t you want to achieve something quietly and surprise the rest of the family?”
