Chapter 504

Then, she frowned and had a serious expression. “Yao Yao! Let me ask you. Does the Qiao family have a lot of businesses overseas? Are these businesses very large? The environment has improved recently, and I saw that many people are starting their own businesses. No one minded them. I was still discussing with your grandfather and Second Uncle about starting some businesses too!"

“Those large mansions in the past have returned to us now, and those gemstones and antiques that we hid in the past can be used now as well. Your mother is from such a good family. We need to prepare a presentable betrothal gift for your father. We cannot humble both your father and mother.”

Since Gu Yunshen decided to go abroad to look for Qiao Yuying, he would not hide it from the family anymore. Additionally, with the greater convenience, Mo Beihan told him a lot of information, so he knew about the Qiao family’s situation.

The Gu family realized that the Qiao family was extremely wealthy, yet Gu Yunshen had nothing, and the Gu family even had no presentable businesses. Such a marriage was truly a little embarrassing.

Fortunately, the current conditions permitted people to start their own businesses, so Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu considered purchasing some businesses for their youngest son to increase his net worth. In this way, they would have something decent to present when marrying the Qiao lady.

Wen Ruyu tugged Gu Qingyao’s hand and said, “Yao Yao! You studied abroad before and are very knowledgeable. Do you think we can invest now? Your grandfather and I are still a little hesitant as so many children in the family are still working! We are not short of money, but we are afraid that one wrong step would affect their future.”

There were many people in the Gu family. The kids in the younger generation were gradually growing up and would work in the future. Because of themselves, Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu had affected their children too greatly during this lifetime, and they were frightened.

They would rather invest later than take another risk and negatively influence their children’s job prospects.

Gu Qingyao replied with a smile, “Grandma, if you wish to invest, there shouldn’t be any problem now. I saw that people have already begun doing businesses, but there’s just not many of them."

“But opportunities will always be in the hands of few. At this time, those who make investments first will definitely have an advantage, but because everything has yet to really develop, the market is not big yet.”

Gu Qingyao looked at Wen Ruyu with a smile. “Grandma, you don’t need to worry about Father and Mother’s marriage. It’s not like we are young couples. We have our own lives and don’t need you all to subsidize us. Furthermore, your inheritance is not solely Father’s. I still have my uncles and older cousins!”

Wen Ruyu disagreed quickly, “So what? Your father stayed by our side the longest and has always been taking care of us in our hometown. We have delayed him all these years, unlike the others who have already brought their wives and children to lead a free life outside."

“Now, all of them are successful and have a house and a job, but what about your father? All these years, he did his best to take care of both of us. Now that the conditions permit, so what if I give him a greater share of my inheritance?”

Gu Qingyao felt like laughing. Perhaps fortune favors fools!

She really wished to tell Grandma that their family really did not need the Gu family’s financial aid and that they would definitely be the wealthiest among all the relatives!

No matter what Gu Qingyao said, Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu disagreed with not helping Gu Yunshen prepare his betrothal gift. They had five children, and the three oldest ones had long since lived outside and were doing pretty well at work. Their second son, especially, was progressing greatly and even his kids had a promising future too.

All these years in their hometown in the countryside, it had always been Gu Yunshen and Gu Yunshuang who stayed by their side to take care of them. The elderly couple were ultimately most worried about these two people. Hence, they would definitely give Gu Yunshen and Gu Yunshuang a greater portion of the Gu family’s assets.

Gu Qingyao thought for a moment and said, “It’s not a bad time to start investing now. Grandma, if you really want to do something, you can go ahead without worrying. As long as you don’t go against the law, there won’t be any problems."

“Actually, many people are already thinking of starting their own businesses. Most of those that you see outside are still ordinary citizens who are selling their own harvests, but, Grandma, look at those who are selling clothes. Those are basically items from the south. I heard that there are many commercial products in the south now! All sorts of clothes and shoes and many home appliances. If we bring these into the capital, they would be very valuable.”

Wen Ruyu let out a laugh. “In that case, Yao Yao, you also feel that we can invest now? Ah, I can be rest assured now. I have to calculate well and strive to prepare some businesses for your father.”

Gu Chonghua added, “Your grandma is right. We indeed need to prepare more things for your father. Your mother did not have it easy throughout the years, too. Now that your family can finally reunite, we must show our sincerity and make everyone happy.”
