"From now on, you two sisters won't have to worry about money anymore. I'll deposit a million dollars into your account every month.
I've already installed WeChat for you and transferred some money to your phone in advance.
Don't buy that thirty-dollar backpack. If you're going to buy one, get a good one."
"I know you have money, and I also want to be with you.
But my sister said that what belongs to others is ultimately not ours, and having it yourself is better than having it from anyone else.
Consider these as a loan from you, and I'll repay you slowly in the future."
"Do we really need to be so formal with each other?"
"Of course. Even though I want to be your girlfriend, we're not truly a family until we've been intimate."
"What are you thinking about?"
Guo Xuyang ruffled her hair.
"Drive, don't let them finish work."
"Mhm," Xiao Yu agreed and started the car.
...
"This child is getting more beautiful as she grows, just like Xiao Xi," Xu Yifan said, reluctant to let go of the little Guo Yili.
"Indeed. Look at her eyes and her small mouth; they're perfect. She inherited the best of both of you."
"It's the good genes. Where did Xiao Guo go again?"
"Yang Zi said Uncle Jiang came from the capital, so he accompanied him for drinks at noon," Li Minxi replied.
"That old Jiang, coming all the way here without telling us," Xu Yifan cursed with a smile.
"He's coming tomorrow. You can scold him then."
"He's a guest, why would I scold him? Your sister went out on a mission last time and hasn't returned yet.
You know how easygoing your sister used to be. Now that she's grown up, she's become less sensible than you."
Xu Yifan muttered.
"People change. Perhaps because you were too oppressive before, she dares to resist you now."
"You little rascal, what are you saying?"
"Mom, I heard my sister is pregnant?"
"Otherwise, why would I say she's less sensible than you? She wouldn't even say who the father is.
How is she going to get married with a child in the future?"
Xu Yifan said with a headache.
"Children have their own destinies. They're all grown up now, let them be," Wu Shangqing said from the side.
"Sister-in-law, you're right. But she's still a girl, so it's a disadvantage."
"Perhaps she's already found someone. We don't need to worry about this.
Besides, can you control her? You'll only get frustrated.
Now, we should take care of our own health. The longer we can help them, the better. Once we're healthy, we won't be a burden to them."
"You're absolutely right. But a daughter is still flesh and blood, and it's impossible not to worry about her.
Unlike your Xiao Guo, I heard that the recent major upheaval was because Xiao Guo said just one sentence."
"Mom, what are you talking about? You mustn't spread such talk. Don't you know how much trouble that would cause Yang Zi?"
"It seems Mom is really getting senile. I only heard it from others.
At the time, I felt honored that my son-in-law was so capable.
Now that you've said this, I realize someone might be trying to harm Xiao Guo in secret."
"What are you two talking about? What 'up there' and 'down there'? Who would want to harm Yang Zi?" Wu Shangqing asked, looking at them.
"Mom, my mom heard rumors. There's no substance to it, so please don't take it to heart."
"I was wondering why there were so many people around our house. So it turns out Yang Zi caused trouble outside," Wu Shangqing said.
"That's not true, Mom. Yang Zi is a great contributor. He has brought unprecedented progress to our country's technological development."
"What does he know about high technology? He just sells stones."
"He not only sells stones, but he can also acquire large spacecraft. These spacecraft are much more advanced than ours."
"He never mentioned it at home."
"This is all classified information and cannot be easily disclosed.
I wouldn't have said anything if my mother hadn't mentioned it earlier.
Don't worry, Yang Zi is a big deal himself; he'll be fine," Li Minxi said.
"As long as he's fine. I'm very satisfied with our current life.
We don't seek great wealth or status. As long as our family is safe and sound, nothing else matters."
"You can rest assured, Yang Zi will be fine."
"Achoo, achoo." Guo Xuyang sneezed twice in a row. "Who's thinking of me now?"
"Big brother, you still believe in that?"
"Yes. It's a unique form of telepathy."
"Is it? I rarely sneeze unless I have a cold."
Xiao Yu sneezed twice as she spoke.
"See? You were right. Hurry up and put on your clothes," Guo Xuyang said, seeing the goosebumps on Xiao Yu's arm.
"It's okay, I'm not cold. I caught it from you," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Don't pretend. It won't be good if you catch a cold.
It's your first day after transferring schools, and catching a cold wouldn't be ideal."
"We're almost there. I'll put it on after we get out of the car. What if the traffic police see us?"
Just as Xiao Yu finished speaking, a police officer approached from the opposite direction.
"Oh no, we're going to get caught. What should we do?"
"It's alright, they're not looking for us." Guo Xuyang gently patted Xiao Yu's arm. "Don't be nervous."
The police officer indeed passed by their small car.
It turned out they had stopped a large vehicle following them.
"You scared me to death," Xiao Yu said, patting her chest like a grown man.
"Such a small胆子 (dǎn zi - courage/guts)?"
"I'm driving without a license, you know!"
"Don't talk so loudly, someone might overhear."
Xiao Yu stuck out her tongue when Guo Xuyang said that.
