Gu Ruoqing frowned and clutched her even more tightly. “You’ve no money? Who do you think you’re bluffing?”
Bai Youran hurriedly said, “Trust me, I really have no money. I…”
“Rubbish. b.i.t.c.h, you owe me. You have to keep giving me money. You have such a rich man to dote on you, how can you have no money? Do you take me for a fool?”
“I’m not trying to fool you!” Bai Youran explained urgently. “I… that man dotes on me, but he has never given me money! He only buys me presents. You know that people in high society are all very aloof. If a rich young lady like me casually asks for money, he will certainly look down on me. Once he looks down on me, he will lose interest in me. Do you understand?
“You’ve never mixed with the upper cla.s.s, so you’re not aware of their rules. They are all very sn.o.bbish and often look down on others for no reason. He has bought me some presents, but he has never given me cash. I’ve already given you all the money and jewelry that I’ve saved up over the years. I really don’t have any more.”
Gu Ruoqing gazed at her for a long time. She sensed that Bai Youran was telling the truth. Although she had some doubts, she could not think of how to counter her arguments.
She had no idea about the rules of the upper cla.s.s. But it was true that rich people were very sn.o.bbish and looked down on others.
“What do you suggest?”
Bai Youran said, “Just wait awhile. That man has been very busy with work lately, and I’ve been unable to contact him. He’s away earning money. When he’s free, he’ll come looking for me. Then he will certainly buy me presents.
“Then I will try to ask him for some money! But I can’t ask for too much at once, or he’ll smell a rat.”
“What do you mean you can’t ask for too much? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?” Gu Ruoqing bellowed.
Bai Youran hurried to placate her. “No, no, calm down and listen to me. I mean that I cannot ask for too much now, but things will be different in the future!
“At the moment, I must preserve my image as a pampered young lady so that he will continue to be interested in me and devoted to me. When I marry him in the future, his money will be my money. Once I marry him and give him children, do you think he will quibble with me over money? Isn’t his family’s money my money?
“Then I will naturally always have money to give you. Don’t you agree?”
This argument registered in Gu Ruoqing’s brain.
When Bai Youran saw her expression, she knew that Gu Ruoqing had accepted this argument, and she inwardly sighed with relief.
“Think about it carefully. You and your mother will only have a good life if I continue to be wealthy. Not only that, but you will always have a good life.
“Just give me some time, so I can think of a way to marry him. When I’ve established my position by his side, I’ll say that you’re a good friend, as close as a sister. Then I’ll ask him to introduce his business friends to you so that you can also marry a rich man. What do you think?
“How will it benefit you to ruin my reputation? Not only does it not benefit you if I lose my status, but you might also get into trouble. After all, you swapped the Bai family’s actual child in the past. What if the Bai family makes trouble for you? Don’t you agree?”
Gu Ruoqing was frightened!
She looked at Bai Youran and subconsciously loosened her hold.
Bai Youran breathed out a sigh when she saw that Gu Ruoqing let go of her!
“I’ll give you the necklace.. I really have no money now. When I get hold of some money in a few days time, I’ll give it to you, all right?”
