“No, it’s not like that. Honey, listen to me, let me explain.”

“You scum, how dare you do so many things behind my back. Tell me, what else did you lie to me about? Tell me, if you don’t tell me clearly today, I’ll teach you a lesson.”

A fierce battle had just begun.

Dong Guiyun punched and kicked Gu Yuanguo while Gu Yuanguo kept evading. Gu Qingchen watched coldly as her second uncle and second aunt fought, but her lips were curled into a sneer.

A dogfight? She loved it the most.

The two of them fought for a long time. Dong Guiyun was exhausted and finally stopped.

“Dad, do we have 50,000 dollars at home?”

Gu Qingchen looked at her father. Gu Yuanchuan looked at his daughter and then nodded. “This is the only 50,000 dollars left in the family.”

His words were filled with disappointment. In the past, he did not take 50,000 dollars seriously. Now, he felt that 50,000 dollars was really heavy.

“Give it to them. From now on, their family has nothing to do with our family.”

It was best to cut off ties with these top-notch relatives. At that time, no one was willing to lend a helping hand. If it were not for them, her parents would not have died, and she would not have chosen to harm her own body to earn money that could end her life at any time.

Dong Guiyun wanted to say something else, but Gu Qingchen looked at her coldly. “This is the last 50,000 dollars in our family. Back then, you only took out 10,000 dollars, and the remaining 40,000 dollars shall be considered as sending beggars away. Even though our family went into bankruptcy, our magnanimity is something that you will always look up to.”

“You want to send us away with 50,000 dollars? Are you out of your mind!”

......

Gu Qingchen’s eyes darkened as she looked at Gu Yuanguo, who was beaten black and blue by Dong Guiyun. She sneered. “I advise you to focus on your man. Be careful that the one million dollars will be taken away by other women. It’s only 50,000 dollars. You can take it or not. Now, you can get out of my house and don’t come to my house again. Otherwise, I will beat you up every time I see you.”

Gu Qingchen’s gaze was stern. It really scared Dong Guiyun. At the same time, she thought of the one million dollars. Compared to the one million dollars, the 50,000 dollars was obviously not comparable. Money was important, but people were more important, she had to watch over her man.

Under Gu Qingchen’s influence, Gu Yuanchuan seemed to be moved. He and his daughter pushed Dong Guiyun and her husband out of the house. Then, Gu Qingchen slammed the door and let out a long sigh.

Turning around, she saw her parents’ worried and confused expressions. Gu Qingchen took a deep breath and said with a smile, “Dad, Mom, let’s eat first. Don’t worry about those irrelevant people. We will get through this. Trust me.”

Gu Yuanchuan composed his emotions. Yes, his daughter was already so strong even though she was not an adult. He could not hold her back. “Yes, even the most important thing cannot be compared to eating. Let’s eat!”

Gu Qingchen and her family of three sat down to eat again. Although everyone was trying their best to maintain the status quo, Gu Qingchen knew that it was just a facade.

And the situation today was just the beginning. She had to think of a way to solve the family’s predicament as soon as possible.

The next morning, Gu Qingchen finished eating and greeted her parents. She said that she was going to school for make-up lessons and left home.

Today was Saturday, so she didn’t have to go to school, nor did she have any make-up lessons. Gu Qingchen just wanted to try her luck and find a way to solve her family’s difficulties.

She could read minds now, so maybe she might have a good opportunity.

In the end, she didn’t encounter any good opportunities, but she met two acquaintances.

Shi Wei and An Ge.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had heard from Shi Wei that she was dating An Ge now. She didn’t expect to meet her. The world was so small.

“Eh? An Ge, look who it is. It seems to be Gu Qingchen. Isn’t her family bankrupt? How dare she come to the shopping mall?”

Shi Wei said sarcastically as if she was showing off to Gu Qingchen. She even wrapped her arms around An Ge’s arm, looking very intimate.

An Ge looked at Gu Qingchen with a strange expression, as if he had something to say to Gu Qingchen, but it was not appropriate for him to say it.

Gu Qingchen glanced at the two of them indifferently. In the past, she had thought that An Ge wasn’t bad, but looking at An Ge now, she felt that An Ge was still too immature.

She didn’t want to think too much about it. Did An Ge confess to her because her family was rich? Even if An Ge wasn’t with Shi Wei, she wouldn’t choose An Ge.

She couldn’t explain the reason clearly. Perhaps An Ge wasn’t her type.

“Oh, pretending not to see us? Could it be that you’re jealous? I don’t like this. An Ge can only be my boyfriend.”

Shi Wei’s words were revealing her status. She said in a coquettish manner, afraid that others wouldn’t know that she was a princess.

Gu Qingchen glanced at Shi Wei and An Ge and said coldly, “Narcissism isn’t a bad thing, but don’t be narcissistic in public. Otherwise, people will laugh at you.”

“You! Gu Qingchen, what right do you have to be arrogant in front of me? Do you think that you are still the young miss of the past? Let me tell you, your family’s timber factory has been bought by my family. It’s a dream to turn things around. If you make me happy, maybe I can ask my father to relax the repayment period for your father!”

Gu Qingchen did not expect that her father’s creditor had become Shi Wei’s father.

She clearly remembered that it was not like this in her previous life. It seemed that there were some small changes in this life because of her rebirth.

When An Ge heard this, his eyes flickered as if he was thinking of something. He originally wanted to speak up for Gu Qingchen, but now he had shut his mouth and did not speak.

It seemed that... Gu Qingchen’s father really had no way to turn things around. Although Gu Qingchen’s conditions were much better than Shi Wei’s, her family had already collapsed. He could not stand on the wrong side.

If he could make her happy, could Shi Wei’s father really return the timber factory to the Gu family? Without even thinking about it, this was not a decision that Shi Wei could make.

“Let An Ge do the things to make you happy. He should know more about how to make you happy. I still have things to do, so I won’t accompany you.”

Gu Qingchen just ignored the two of them. An Ge looked at Gu Qingchen with an indescribable feeling, as if Gu Qingchen was completely different from before.

Seeing that An Ge kept staring at Gu Qingchen, Shi Wei immediately grabbed An Ge’s arm and said in a coquettish tone, “An Ge, let’s go to this shopping mall. I saw a very nice outfit that suits you very well. I want to buy it as a gift for you.”

An Ge heard Shi Wei’s words and looked away, looking at Shi Wei tenderly. “Weiwei, I should be the one buying it for you.”

Shi Wei knew that An Ge’s family background was average, so she said, “No, I want to buy it for you. Let’s go!”

An Ge seemed to be helpless against Shi Wei and followed Shi Wei into the shopping mall.

On the other side, Gu Qingchen was walking aimlessly in the shopping mall. In fact, she did not know what she would do after her rebirth. She just felt that it would be easier to find business opportunities in the shopping mall.

At this time, the commercial street was still in its infancy. It was not as prosperous as the later generations. At most, it would be a little bigger than the big market.

In fact, Gu Qingchen had also considered buying a store in the commercial street at this time. When it became prosperous in the future, the land price would be different.

But now, Gu Qingchen did not have any money. The last 50,000 dollars left in the family was given to her second uncle’s family. It was really difficult to move forward.
