It Wasn't About The Money

Gu Zi lowered her gaze slightly, a hint of amusement in her eyes. Twenty yuan to buy her favor? That was hardly enough. She spoke up, "I've nearly spent all the money Su Shen gave me this month. If I ask him for more, he might think my adoptive parents didn't teach me well, considering how I spend money. Besides, I've only just gotten married. It wouldn't be right to start asking for more money now."

Just as Gu Zi was about to decline the offer, she saw Gu Shan pull out three more ten-yuan notes, making a total of fifty yuan. He handed it over to her, saying, "This is all the money I have on me. Please, take them."

Only then did Gu Zi reluctantly accept the fifty yuan, considering it a suitable amount to buy some nutritional supplements for her father.
