Chapter 672: The Poorest in the Family
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Pei had carefully selected gifts for Gu Yang and Gu Jin: a state-of-the-art video drone from Dream Seeking Technology for Gu Yang, and a set of top-tier VR game equipment, also from Dream Seeking Technology, for Gu Jin.
During the post-dinner gift-giving session, Gu Pei made a point of announcing, with evident pride, “I purchased these gifts entirely with my own earnings!”
His success as a popular game streamer on the Grape app had allowed him to accumulate savings through live-streaming benefits and training fees from gaming partners. Dream Seeking Technology was renowned for its premium electronic products, albeit at a premium price. Gu Pei, known for his penchant for high-end gadgets, spared no expense in selecting these gifts, depleting his savings from the small vault he had diligently amassed for purchasing eSports equipment.
As he concluded his declaration, Gu Pei basked in the admiring glances of the entire family.
Gu Zhaoming and Ruan Xueling were taken aback by Gu Pei’s undisclosed actions, their surprise evident.
“Quite impressive!” Ruan Xueling’s rare applause accompanied her raised eyebrows.
Gu Zhaoming, too, expressed his approval with a nod, acknowledging Gu Pei’s ability to earn his own income. “Impressive. You’re capable of making your own money.”
Gu Yang and Gu Jin exchanged curious glances between Gu Pei and Feng Jue, sensing an air of peculiarity.
Meanwhile, Feng Jue’s raised eyebrows conveyed his surprise, tempered with a sense of understanding. He recognized the merit in Gu Pei’s choice, given the superior quality of their company’s products.
Gu Yang instructed the servants to convey their gifts upstairs, offering a grateful smile to Gu Pei. “Thank you, Little Brother. I really appreciate it.”
Gu Jin echoed the sentiment. “Thank you. The gift is quite nice.”
Despite Feng Jue’s irksome demeanor, the undeniable quality of Dream Seeking Group’s products was evident.
Basking in his parents’ praise and Gu Yang’s admiration, Gu Pei felt like he was on cloud nine, his head spinning slightly.
“I’m glad you appreciate it. Even though I’m not skilled at photography, these camera drones will capture your moments perfectly,” Gu Pei grinned.
Feng Jue interjected with a smirk, “Haha. Is a mere machine trying to vie for favor? The real person assisting Sister with photos is none other than her true boyfriend!”
Observing Gu Jin’s composed expression, Gu Pei couldn’t help but feel a twinge of disappointment. If roles were reversed, he’d surely be ecstatic. Yet, considering Gu Jin’s typically reserved demeanor, he found solace in her calmness.
Despite his initial letdown, Gu Pei rationalized, “This VR game gear can sync with titles like Legend of the Gods. Knowing your penchant for gaming, I figured it’d be right up your alley.”
Strolling around the living room, hands clasped behind his back, Gu Pei couldn’t contain a sigh. “Who would’ve thought my sister and I would be the first ones among us four to achieve financial independence?”
He then cast a smug glance at Gu Jin and Feng Jue, though he feigned sagacity as he imparted, “Gu Jin, Feng Jue, you two are still struggling financially and have no income. You need to buckle down.”
Gu Yang was dumbfounded, staring at Gu Pei in utter confusion. Wait, what did he just say???
The esteemed Big Boss Sister and her trusted companion, Little Blood Bank, were destitute with no income??
As Gu Jin lifted her icy gaze, a hint of mischief danced in her eyes. “Oh, really? We’re destitute?”
Feng Jue blinked in disbelief. “They have no income?”
Unaware of the confusion he had sown, Gu Pei continued earnestly, “Dad mentioned that once our Gu family takes down the Wang clan, our next aim is to become the wealthiest in Jin City. Let’s not be the weak link.”
Gu Yang stifled a cough. “Enough talking.”
Oh no! If her daft brother wasn’t feeling embarrassed, she would be mortified!
Unbeknownst to him, they were actually the poorest members of the family!
