Chapter Fourteen Sister!
"What? Stock speculation?!" Qin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise and she cried out strangely after hearing Mo Shaokun's words.
Mo Shaokun looked around nervously and quickly made a silencing gesture, saying, "Shh! Keep your voice down."
"How did you think of stock speculation? The stock market has plummeted in the past two years, and I don't know how many people wanted to escape but couldn't. You're actually thinking of jumping in?" Qin Xuan frowned at Mo Shaokun.
"There must be ups and downs, now the stock market has reached the edge of collapse. I think the government will soon introduce policies to rescue the market. After all, how can the government watch it collapse after working so hard to establish it?" Mo Shaokun said with a mouthful of nonsense. He couldn't directly tell Qin Xuan that he came from the future and was very clear about the rebound in the stock market in '94.
Qin Xuan heard this and was somewhat speechless, saying: "Please, the government hasn't been idle for the past two years, has it? But in the end? The stock market is still plummeting non-stop."
"This time it's definitely different!" Mo Shaokun gazed at Qin Xuan with a firm expression.
Qin Qin still looked skeptical, so he continued: "If not, then lend me another 5 million. By September, I'll return 10 million with interest! The risk is on me, you just wait for the money."
"You're really crazy about money, aren't you?" Qin Xuan rolled her eyes and turned to leave, saying "Get up early tomorrow, we'll set off after breakfast."
"Hey, don't go, can't I even borrow from you?"
"Cut, do you have anything else to mortgage? I'm not doing a losing business, sister."
“……”
Mo Shaokun was speechless, yeah, why should someone lend him money when he's now penniless and has nothing to offer?
As soon as he disappeared from view, Qin Xuan involuntarily stopped in his tracks and turned around, only to catch a glimpse of Mo Shaokun's face flashing with a hint of desolation.
Qin Xing's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but recall the stories of Mo Shaokun's growth that he had shared in front of Old Master's sickbed a few days ago.
"Sister, you're just joking with him, aren't you really angry?" Qin Xuan walked back to Mo Shaokun's side and smiled lightly, but in her heart, she was secretly blaming herself for not knowing how to speak properly. People like Mo Shaokun must have a strong sense of self-respect, and she hoped that her previous words hadn't hurt him.
Mo Shaokun raised his head and smiled bitterly at Qin Xuan, but he didn't get angry. If it were the old him, maybe he would have, but after being reborn, he wouldn't be as fragile as before.
"Shaokun, sister said those words without any other meaning, you mustn't think too much."
"I'm not angry." Mo Shaokun explained with a wry smile.
But the more he acted like this, the more Qin Xuan felt that she had hurt him. She let out a light sigh and said: "Alright, alright, 500,000 is not possible, but when we get back to Anping, I can give you an additional 100,000. Don't bother returning it, just consider it your sister's allowance for you. However, Shao Kun, I still want to advise you on one thing - now is not the time for you to think about making money. When you graduate from university, if you still want to do business, I'll invest in you, how about that?"
Five hundred thousand is not a big number for Qin Xuan, but she doesn't want to give Mo Shaokun that much. It's not that she's stingy, it's just that she's afraid Mo Shaokun will become spoiled, after all, at his age, he's at the crossroads of life.
Mo Shaokun could feel the thick warmth from Qin Xuan's tone, and his heart warmed up as he gazed at Qin Xuan's bright beautiful eyes, softly saying: "Sister, thank you."
Qin Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and it seemed that she only reacted later with a face full of surprise, looking at him and asking: "You... what did you just call me?"
"It can't be helped if you didn't hear it clearly." Mo Shaokun twitched his mouth and turned to walk towards the end of the corridor.
"Oh no, don't go, good little brother, can you call out to me? Just once......" This time it was Qin Xuan chasing after Mo Shaokun's butt.
Mo Shaokun's mouth corners slightly curved upwards as he stood with his back to Qin Xuan, and his eyes also had a hint of softness.
"Don't be so petty, how about this? If you call out to me a bit more, I'll give you an extra 10,000 yuan, okay?"
“……”
Mo Shaokun, who was walking forward, suddenly stopped in his tracks, suppressing a smile as he turned around to gaze calmly at Qin Xuan.
Looking at Qin Xuan's joyful face, Mo Shaokun couldn't help it anymore. Suddenly, he burst out laughing and exclaimed: "Sister, sister, sister, sister, sister... sister!" Anyway, he had already called her that before, so he just let it all out.
I don't know how long I've been calling, but Qin Xuan stared at him with a stunned expression. He chuckled and said, "At least 70 or 80 times? Never mind, we're old friends, so I'll give you a discount. Add the 100,000 you promised me earlier, and I won't ask for more. Just give me 500,000."
"You... you little brat!!!" Qin Xuan's face turned red with embarrassment, clearly on the verge of exploding.
Mo Shaokun saw her face was not good and called out, then rushed away crazily.
Until his back disappeared completely, Qin Xuan finally turned around and went to her mother's room with a light smile. She wanted to tell her mom and little uncle the good news as soon as possible. Although it seemed simple that she called him brother, Qin Xuan knew it meant Mo Shaokun had opened up his heart to them.
Back in his own room, Mo Shaokun's face still had a few hints of a smile on it. From the moment he called Qin Xiang "sister", his heart felt much lighter.
These days he has been very entangled, as if the whole person is being pressed by a big mountain, with a feeling of being unable to breathe.
From start to finish, he never acknowledged himself as a member of the Tang family, although they shared the same bloodline, but in his eyes, the people of the Tang family were no different from those passersby on the street.
He is unwilling to return to the Tang family, not because he hates the Tang family, but because he really has no sense of belonging to the Tang family. He can't even imagine how embarrassing it would be if he returned to the Tang family and lived with a group of unfamiliar relatives every day!
The Tang family may be very powerful, and the background may be intimidating, but what does this have to do with him? For a reborn person who has mastered the experience of the next twenty years, he doesn't need to rely on anyone else to do well. And such a prestigious family like the Tangs probably wouldn't care about someone as insignificant as him, right?
This time he came to Kyoto, he just wanted to see the old man, he could not care about the Tang family but he couldn't let an old man go with regret, this was something he couldn't do and perhaps no one with a conscience could do.
But he never thought that in just a few short days his heart would be shaken.
The Tang family did not look down on him because of his growth environment and experience, but instead everyone was very kind to him, with the old master's love and care from elders like Tang Yurou.
They are very careful when speaking to each other, he knows it's because they care about their own feelings and are afraid of saying something wrong that will make themselves unhappy. Apart from this, there are many, many small details that can reflect their sincerity towards each other.
Mo Shaokun is not a stone, facing the various kindness of the Tang family, he has to say that he is not moved at all, that would be self-deception. He must admit that these few days with the Tang family have awakened his long-suppressed desire for home.
