Chapter 32 - Motivate Yun Bo
[T/N: This chapter is part 2/4 of ko-fi update~ ^.^ ENJOY!]
“Whatever, I won"t care about it. Why do you invite me over?” Yun Bo was a little irritated when he asked.
“I just want to ask if the Yun Residence will have today"s glory without the financial support of the Yun Family. Can Cousin Yun Bo still follow those rich young masters into the Flower House Shipyard and let them and the beautiful girls flatter you?” Ling Xuan asked in a calm tone and it didn"t sound like how a ten-year-old girl would ask.
Yun Bo"s expression changed. His eyes looked bad and was staring at Ling Xuan liked he was going to eat people. It looked dark and slightly resentful.
“Cousin, don"t hate me. You"re right, the Yun Residence is really not worthy enough for me to rely on. The few uncles believed that wealth and beauty can be gained through diligent study and they don"t care about the mundane world of gold and silver. Even if I give them our family businesses, in the end, the family businesses will be disregarded by them until nothing is left. Yan-er and I have no one to rely on. We are only left with the family businesses and wealth that our parents left behind. Cousin, tell me, who do you think I should give it to?” She said with her head tilted and an innocent face. The only thing that Yun Bo did not discover was the flow of light hidden deep in her eyes.
Yun Bo was not a fool. He was also a little clever if he could be cared for and protected by his family. It was just that he was a little spoiled by them until he didn"t know the immensity of heaven and earth.
“Yun Ling Xuan, do not intentionally divert the topic. Tell me, what do you want me to do?” If she really wanted to give everything to someone else, why would she tell him all these?
Initially, he didn"t think there was something wrong with the Yun Residence. But after listening to what she said, he had a slight feeling in his heart.
The Yun Residence was really as bad as she said?
Ling Xuan"s lips lit up with a cheerful smile as she faced Yun Bo"s irritated questioning, “Cousin, Xuan-er hope that you can help me!”
“Help you?” Yun Bo, who was initially full of anger, was dazed and somewhat lost.
“Yes, Xuan-er wants to keep the Yun Family and cousin wants to protect the Yun Residence, so Xuan-er hopes that cousin can help me… The Yun Residence and the Yun Family are blood relatives, broken bones that are connected by the veins. (T/N: original words are 打断骨头连着筋 which means although they are on bad terms, they are still connected by bloodline) No matter how determined my parents were, all these years they gave priorities to the Yun Residence, am I not right?” Ling Xuan looked at Yun Bo and asked earnestly and persistently.
Yun Bo"s heart quivered for what she said.
“What do you want me to help?” Upon hearing Ling Xuan"s words, Yun Bo"s heart had promised to help.
He didn"t forget his father"s sigh and his mother"s helplessness. He was indeed not good at studying. As for martial arts… He had no such courage as his second cousin brother, so he could only give up on his life with his parents" sighing. He followed the rich young masters in the capital to indulge in sensual pleasures, leading a befuddled existence. He thought that it was not a bad idea to spend all his life like this.
But after his fourth uncle and aunt"s death, he was a little uneasy – without the support of the Yun Family, would the Yun Residence still have enough money for him to spend?
Without the silver money, would those rich young masters still willing to flatter him?
He knew that these people were looking at his silver money. Without the silver money, with his status, it"s not enough for them to take him all in.
“No matter what you need to help with, it will definitely benefit you.” Ling Xuan saw his tone had softened, she smiled and teased him. “But the most important thing now is that I don"t know if cousin has the courage!”
Being underestimated, being despised by someone younger than him, that feeling had made him so crazy. “Yun Ling Xuan, don"t keep me in suspense. Just go straight to the point!”
