Gu Xiaoqing saw the troubled expressions of her parents and understood that they were uncertain of the consequences, momentarily without a good solution.

Gu Ruhai consistently cared deeply about face and couldn't bring himself to act shamelessly.
Gu Xiaoqing stepped forward and said, "Dad, Mom, since Grandma and Grandpa have said so, we as the younger generation cannot disobey. However, our family can't just come up with three thousand yuan immediately. Could Grandpa and Grandma give us some time?"
Mrs. Gu gave Gu Xiaoqing a sideways glance. This troublesome girl had always been a thorn in her side, always jumping out to stir things up.
