"This won’t do!" Liu Pingyuan furrowed his brow tightly: "You contributed the most, Wu Zhiren and I shouldn’t get so much. Let’s divide it according to the money we put in."
For this trip to Shenzhen, Gu Jiajie contributed two thousand one hundred, while he and Wu Zhiren barely managed to pull together five hundred.
Wu Zhiren nodded along: "We contributed less money, taking so much would be taking advantage of you. We can’t do it this way!"
Gu Jiajie rubbed his fingertips, pursing his lips: "To be honest, I’ve only seen this much money twice in my life—first with Xiaojin in Wanhai City, and this is the second ti, and it’s money we earned through risking our lives."
Talking about this topic caused the three to feel quite heavy-hearted.
Gu Jiajie’s tone shifted swiftly: "Money earned through risking our lives is too hot for to handle alone. After setting aside the thirty thousand for Xiaojin, we’ll split the rest equally.
In the future, if I want to do sothing else and you’re interested, we can keep going. If you two want to settle down, this money is enough for a comfortable life with a wife and children."
Liu Pingyuan’s eyes revealed interest: "What do you want to do?"
Gu Jiajie shook his head: "I don’t know yet, I’m planning to ask Xiaojin."
Wu Zhiren spoke up: "Count in for whatever you’re doing. This money feels right for too, thinking about how we exchanged our lives for it—it’s quite heart-wrenching."
Liu Pingyuan laughed: " too, whatever you want to do, don’t forget about your two brothers. Following your sister is definitely where the good stuff is."
This made Gu Jiajie raise his eyebrows with a mischievous smile: "It’s about what I want to do, not my cousin. Aren’t you afraid this money could go down the drain?"
"How could you say that without feeling guilty? Xiaojin ca all the way to Shenzhen to rescue us—if we’re being serious, she did this trip specifically for you. We’re just basking in your glory.
With a caring sister like this, if there’s sothing you want to do, she wouldn’t let you lose out. Following you is the sa as following Xiaojin, it’s guaranteed good stuff."
Liu Pingyuan said this with a face full of envy and a hint of admiration showing through.
"Yeah, yeah, good stuff for sure. Jiez, don’t even think about ditching the two of us. With a sister like that, Pingyuan and I are sticking with you for life!" Wu Zhiren chuckled foolishly.
Gu Jiajie got up and kicked each of them, scolding them for being unambitious.
But in his heart, he was deeply touched—not expecting his cousin to rush over from afar and even subdue Qige’s group, having the ability to make them so fearful. Truly remarkable.
He always knew his cousin had a mysterious side, even feeling inexplicably that she was quite capable. Hence, in a life-or-death situation, he thought of her.
Having such a cousin was indeed sothing he was proud of.
And Liu Pingyuan and Wu Zhiren felt the sa way—if not for Gu Jin coming over, they’d still be on the gloomy South Island, eating rotten fish, anxiously waiting for death.
As the three of them were goofing around, the hotel room door was opened from the outside.
Gu Jin led the little kid in her arms inside, imdiately spotting the three large boys arguing on the living room sofa.
As Gu Jin pushed the room door open, Gu Jiajie, Liu Pingyuan, and Wu Zhiren’s playful movents froze, and they imdiately sat upright on the couch like well-behaved students.
Gu Jiajie greeted her with a smile: "Xiaojin, you’re back."
Seeing them sitting obediently like school children, Gu Jin raised an eyebrow and glanced at their facial expressions, a flicker of amusent crossing her eyes.
