Capítulo 515: Chapter 515: Handing Over Household Money

Mrs. Gu came back carrying tofu pudding when she saw her son with a dark expression, as well as the strange looks on Father Gu and Gu Nanzhi.

“What happened?”

She looked left and right but could not figure out what had occurred. Why was everyone acting so oddly?

Tang Chuxia helped Mrs. Gu place the tofu pudding on the table, “Nothing’s wrong!”

Mrs. Gu didn’t believe her, but guessing it wasn’t any big issue, she didn’t pry further.

During the meal, Mrs. Gu asked Gu Beihuai and Tang Chuxia, “What are your plans for today?”

Tang Chuxia looked at Gu Beihuai. She had nothing urgent, planning to discuss school matters with the head teacher, but it wasn’t necessary to go.

Gu Beihuai said, “I’m taking Xiaxia out for fun today!”

Mrs. Gu snorted.

These two kids really knew how to enjoy themselves.

Gu Nanzhi pursed her lips, “Big brother, this won’t do. Now that you and Xiaxia are married, aren’t you going to support the family in the future?”

She asked Tang Chuxia, “Has my brother ever given you any spending money?”

Tang Chuxia thought for a moment and shook her head, “He has!”

She had already seen the financial statements from Gu Beihuai’s company, and there was hardly any money to speak of.

Gu Nanzhi didn’t believe it at all. The way her brother was acting now, it could be said he had started a small business, but it wasn’t making any money, and Gu Beihuai was not cut out for business anyway.

However, Father Gu and Mrs. Gu weren’t worried since they knew that what Gu Beihuai was doing just couldn’t be explained to Gu Nanzhi.

“Xiaxia, you must control the financial power. You absolutely can’t let a man handle the money; he’ll surely squander it all away!” Gu Nanzhi kept urging Tang Chuxia.

Tang Chuxia wasn’t someone who couldn’t earn money herself. The earnings she received from the fried foods factory Zheng Duoqing managed already exceeded many people’s family incomes.

Since there was no lack of money, there was also no need to be so meticulous.

“Right, Zhizhi is absolutely correct, men should not have the money!”

To everyone’s surprise, Mrs. Gu agreed with Gu Nanzhi.

She even glanced at Father Gu with a warning in her eyes as she spoke.

Father Gu coughed, looking at his son with some sympathy.

He himself didn’t have much money on hand, and even when he wanted to have a smoke, he had to save up for a long time to satisfy the craving.

Gu Beihuai looked at Tang Chuxia, “Wife, all my money is with you!”

Tang Chuxia nodded.

“So, you’ll give me some pocket money, right?” Gu Beihuai looked at Tang Chuxia with a very ingratiating expression.

Tang Chuxia shook her head, “The money you gave me is all debts, there’s none left to give you!”

Gu Beihuai: …

He had forgotten about that.

He actually had another source of income, which he had never disclosed; if one were to check his account, there would certainly be a substantial sum.

Tang Chuxia saw Gu Beihuai saying to her, “Your man will definitely not let you suffer!”

Tang Chuxia: …

She couldn’t be bothered to respond.

After breakfast,

those who should go to school went to school, and those who should go to work went to work.

Left behind were Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai, staring at each other.

“Didn’t you say you would take me out for fun?” Tang Chuxia poked Gu Beihuai, curious about where he would take her.

Gu Beihuai made an indifferent sound, “Just bluffed them. You worked so hard last night; you should at least rest at home for a day!” He spoke quite frankly.

Tang Chuxia kicked him.

She just slept with a man, she wasn’t diagnosed with a terminal illness—was it necessary to lie down and rest?

“I’m going to find my cousin. Do you want to come with me?”

The day her little brother was leaving the country had been set, and her cousin was going to accompany him.

During this time, Tang Chuxia finally felt a sense of responsibility and prepared to buy some things for them to take abroad.

However, Gu Beihuai simply told her, “It’s better to give money than to buy things!”

Tang Chuxia didn’t feel like dealing with him.

But Gu Beihuai still went out with Tang Chuxia because he was worried she might get into trouble.

After all, there was a high probability that Tang Chuxia would get into trouble today.

The two didn’t take a car; they strolled towards the Zheng Family’s house. Along the way, they ran into an old classmate. Tang Chuxia even chatted with them for a while and accidentally learned a lot of news about her old classmates.

Tang Chuxia wasn’t very interested, but when the other person heard that Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai were together, they remarked, “You two used to be bickering sweethearts; it makes perfect sense for you to become a couple now!”

Tang Chuxia looked at Gu Beihuai.

Gu Beihuai, pulling Tang Chuxia along, said, “My cousin is still waiting for us. Let’s stop chatting!”

Tang Chuxia was led away by Gu Beihuai.

She kept giving Gu Beihuai strange looks.

“Aren’t you even curious about what I really am?” Tang Chuxia eventually asked. Gu Beihuai merely coughed lightly, “If you wanted to tell, you would’ve done so already. If you don’t wish to share, it’s useless for anyone to ask.”

Tang Chuxia hung on Gu Beihuai’s arm, “Doesn’t that disgust you in the least?”

After all, she was still using her original body.

Gu Beihuai stopped and faced Tang Chuxia, “What are you trying to say? Do you think I’m sick?”

Tang Chuxia shook her head; now really wasn’t the time to discuss this topic.

She looked around and whispered to Gu Beihuai, “Actually, I’m a bit curious myself. Don’t you really wonder what kind of existence I am?”

Gu Beihuai: …

He realized they couldn’t continue on this topic, otherwise, Tang Chuxia would surely lead them astray.

Luckily, Tang Chuxia soon let him off the hook.

“Actually, I wanted to be upfront with you. Since you can hear her inner voice, you know she’s always lived unhappily, right?”

Tang Chuxia pulled Gu Beihuai to a secluded place to sit down before she started to explain.

“Actually, I don’t know if I’m dreaming, although I feel like she and I are not the same person, but sometimes it feels like we are one.

It’s just that she’s another me from a parallel universe, it’s just that her personality is somewhat soft, and I’m a bit more self-driven!”

Suddenly Gu Beihuai asked, “Parallel universes?”

Tang Chuxia made a sound of surprise, forgetting that the term was still somewhat unfamiliar in this era.

“Like this, the Buddhist concept is about Three Thousand Worlds being boundless, right? The so-called parallel universes are countless universes happening at the same time, each with a version of me, but not exactly the same me. Each life decision leads to a completely different outcome.”

Tang Chuxia had been pondering whether she was in a book or another parallel universe. As time passed, she increasingly felt tied to this universe.

“So your point is, you’re also her?”

Gu Beihuai stumped Tang Chuxia with his question.

She really didn’t know how to respond.

“If I say ‘if,’ hypothetically, what would you do if one day she comes back?”

Tang Chuxia looked at Gu Beihuai, awaiting his answer.

Gu Beihuai, also gazing at her, uttered just one sentence.
