Chapter 41

Qing" Yes. We'll live in such a nice house after tomorrow," Gu Qing answered with love in her eyes.

Having the affirmative answer, Jiang Xinyue was so excited that she almost jumped up. "Wow! It's so great!"

Seeing Jiang Xinyue being happy, Jiang Xu and Gu Qing as her parents were also happy.

Gu Man" Alright, it's almost eight pm. I'm starving. Mom, Xueyun, Aunt why don't you help my friend in the kitchen." Gu Ning said.

Xueyun" What are we waiting for then, let's go." she said dragging the two ladies to the kitchen.

Gu Ning wanted to discuss something with Jiang Xu, so she didn't go to help. She also stopped Jiang Xu who wanted to help.

Gu Ning" Uncle, can we have a talk?" Gu Ning asked.

Xu" Sure," Jiang Xu answered, but he asked Jiang Xinyue to go help.

KITCHEN

As Isaiah was cooking, he stopped for a second as he heard footsteps at the door. He turned around and found, Xueyun, Gu Man and two other women. One that looked the same age as Gu Man and the other just a bit younger than Gu Ning.

Isaiah" You must be Gu Qing, Jiang Xinyue, sorry for not greeting you earlier, I didn't want to burn any of the food."

Gu Qing" It-its quite alright. I'm Gu Qing and this is my daughter. We thank you for letting us in your home. We came to see if you need any help."

Isaiah" There's no need to be so polite. You can just call me Isaiah and I'll call you Aunt. If that's ok with you."

Gu Qing" Of course it is."

Isaiah" Well alright then here's what I need you ladies to do."

While Isaiah was getting to know all the women while cooking. Gu Ning had a chat with her uncle about quitting his job and starting a new business.

Gu Ning" Uncle, since we're not poor any longer, I naturally don't want you to continue doing labour work for so little money. Of course, I know you can't stay unemployed. I also don't want to see that. In the past, we could only live a hard life, but now, we can live a better and better life. So, I want to ask you. Do you want to start a thriving business and improve our lives in the future? Or you simply want to run a small business? As long as you don't have to be hungry or cold, no matter what you want, I can fully support you financially," Gu Ning said.

Jiang Xu wasn't clever, or cunning enough. He probably wasn't capable of running a business.

However, he worked hard and was diligent. He also liked learning. As long as he was determined, Gu Ning trusted that he could truly make something.

Jiang Xu was delighted to start a company, but he felt awkward about the money.

Gu Ning also knew what was on Jiang Xu's mind. She encouraged him, "Uncle, no one respects us, only because we're poor. You're the only man in our family. You must be strong and powerful to protect us!"

Jiang Xu was touched. What Gu Ning had said affected him a lot.

Exactly! Only because they were poor, no one respected them.

Especially Gu Man and Gu Qing, they had been despised and discriminated against by the rest of the Gu Family for a long time.

Jiang Xu was immediately full of passion, but he was still embarrassed about the money.

Gu Ning" Uncle, I know that you are worried about the money. If that's the case, I can help you with money and you can give my mother a 20% share of your company. My mother, of course, won't work in your company, or interfere in your business.

You need to work hard yourself. Please don't underestimate the 20% shares either. If your business grows bigger, 20% shares will soon be equal to the money I give you. So just take it as I lend you the money, and do not feel any pressure," Gu Ning said.

Jiang Xu was now fully convinced. He answered at once, "Great, I'll do it!"

Actually, he had always had the idea to run his own business but lacked the money.

After a while of negotiating, he finally accepted her offer but he refused to have all the shares so Gu Ning would take 20% but was going to give it to Gu Man anyway.

After their talk, her uncle went around to explore the interior, while Gu Ning who finally had an opportunity opened her phone and logged into her WeChat group Family of Fighters.

Everyone mentioned her in the chatting history. They all cared whether she was back or not, with their gifts of course.

Gu Ning shook her head lightly. She typed and sent: 

Gu Ning[ I'm back at home, but I won't be at school tomorrow. I'll give the gifts to you all the day after tomorrow.]

Hao Ran[ Boss, what happened? May I help?]

Mu Ke[Yeah, what happened?]

Gu Ning[ Nothing, I need to deal with something with my mother and my aunt. Please keep it between us, and don't let the teacher know!]

Hao Ran[ You mother left the hospital? Why didn't you tell us earlier? We could have gone to pick you up and celebrate!]

Zhang Tianping[ Exactly!]

Gu Ning[ It's fine.]

Chu Peihan[ How about our gifts?]

Everyone[ Yes! What did you buy for us?]

Gu Ning[ You'll know the day after tomorrow. Alright, I need to have my dinner now. Bye-bye.]

Then, Gu Ning ignored them. It was time for dinner.

When everyone gathered around the 20 seat dining table they all gasped in admiration. They especially looked at all the assortment of foods from sweet and sour pork to spring rolls.

The food was absolutely amazing and they all finished it with 2 hours. But they didn't just eat. Gu Ning also handed out the gifts she bought for everyone.

Isaiah got a wallet that he actually quite liked and was going to use from now on. As they were talking Isaiah slipped out for a quick second and texted his friend.

Isaiah[ Are the preparations ready.]

mikaela[ Everyones just waiting on your signal.]

Isaiah[ Good.]

Isaiah took a deep breath in then out. Its time.
