At noon, Gu Nian accompanied the old master for lunch, having called ahead to tell Sister Chun not to bother bringing food over.
Old Master Jing handed her a check, placing it in front of Gu Nian.
"Girl, this is all my savings. Take it and use it," he said.
Gu Nian's eyes moved to the figures on the check, which amounted to about ten million.
"This money, it's all clean. Usually, my grandsons and granddaughters, sons, and daughters-in-law give it to me as a token of respect. I made a call at noon and found out that the Gu Family is in dire need of money right now," he explained.
Gu Nian was momentarily taken aback, then shook her head.
"Old Master, then you should also know that the Gu Family is like a money pit right now, operating at a loss. Giving me this money is quite likely to be a one-way ticket, you know," she responded.
