Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Supporting You for a Lifetime Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Supporting You for a Lifetime Chapter 32 Iâll Support You For a Lifetime
Mengyu suddenly thought of something; ten days later, when her biological mother shows up, her foster parents would definitely make a scene. If Gu Dongxing could accompany her to the Jiang Family, he could surely keep the foster parents in check.
At that time, she could take the opportunity to leave the Jiang Family with her biological mother.
She gave a sweet smile: âThank you, Brother Gu.â
Gu Dongxing was almost dazzled by her smile and quickly composed himself.
He thought to himself: This little one is truly versatile: sometimes she seems innocently cute, sometimes cunning like a fox. Today I realized that with an apple-shaped face, Mengyuâs smile with two dimples is very adorable and sweet!
But sometimes, her gaze makes him feel a kind of aged weariness that really contrasts with her youthful appearance.
Although she claims to be seventeen, thatâs her nominal age. In fact, she is not even sixteen yet. A fifteen-year-old girl, yet he could read a deep weariness from her eyes!
Which side of her is her true self?
Gu Dongxing suppressed the doubts in his heart, thought for a moment, and then asked, âThe clothes you are wearing and the jewelry, where did they come from?â
He could tell, he was good at this, the pearls on her ears and the pearl necklace she wore were quite valuable.
Mengyu touched the pearls she was wearing on her ears and the ones on her body: âAh, I found these in the cave on the cliffside; the clothes, too.â
âUm, besides the jewelry, thereâs also this!â Mengyu pulled out the gold bar from her clothing pocket that she had been fiddling with when she shooed away Ye Rushui earlier.
If it were someone else, Mengyu wouldnât have shown it.
But having been with Jiang Huaiyu as Ah Piao for over a decade in her past life, she knew very well what kind of person Gu Dongxing was. He wouldnât covet her possessions.
Still, she wanted to test him. At this time, gold was very valuable, capable of fetching about one hundred and forty-five Yuan per gram.
This gold bar weighed roughly three hundred and twenty grams, worth about forty to fifty thousand Yuan. In the 1980s, a millionaire was a rare sight, and forty to fifty thousand was certainly a huge sum.
However, she still added, âThis wasnât dug from the ground, it doesnât need to be given to the Guo Family, right?â
With that, she looked at him with an innocent expression on her face.
Gu Dongxing was startled for a moment. This cunning little scammer, is she afraid that he might confiscate her treasure?
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Mengyu handed the gold bar to him, âYou help me convert it to money. I will need money for my studies, and I will need to buy my own house to live independently. It will all cost money.â
âYouââ
âWhat did you say?â Mengyu thought she had heard wrong.
After saying âI can support you,â Gu Dongxingâs heart was not at peace.
Yes, he wanted to support her. But then, in what capacity would he support her?
Fiancée, that was just a temporary solution.
So even though people at the bottom of the courtyard might think of Mengyu as his fiancée, many others knew she wasnât truly his fiancée.
He could support her for a moment, but not for a lifetime!
Unless he made the role of her fiancée official.
To make it official! He actually wanted to make her his fiancée.
He looked again at this girl who appeared innocently cute on the outside, yet cunning inside, having such a woman by his side would mean he would not be alone in life.
He instantly made up his mind.
He looked into Mengyuâs eyes and said firmly, âYou heard me right, I can support you, support you for a lifetime!â
âUhhââ
Mengyuâs ears started to ring. What did he say, heâd support her?
Had she really heard him right?
