Chapter 934: Chapter 934 Jianbin, You’re Really Kind

Zhou Siyu’s face showed a happy smile, yet her heart was not truly content.

She had thought Gu Jianbin would offer to wash up, but he said nothing at all.

It seemed that Gu Jianbin had been spoiled by Wang Erfeng since childhood; if she ended up with him, she would likely have to take on all the household chores. Although she was somewhat annoyed by this realization, she had no other choice.

Her uncle was ill and couldn’t afford her education, while her aunt’s monthly income was meager. Had it not been for Gu Jianbin’s help, she wouldn’t even be able to afford school now.

For now, she could only take things one step at a time and keep Gu Jianbin happy until she found a better prospect.

It must be said that Zhou Siyu had a particularly clear head, seeing everything with clarity, her vision unclouded by love.

She did like Gu Jianbin, but if, after graduation, Gu Jianbin didn’t have good financial prospects and she encountered a better opportunity, she would not hesitate to leave him.

Just the fact that Gu Jianbin no longer had a house in the city was a big disappointment for her.

With a heavy heart, she washed the dishes and clothes and returned to her room, only to see Gu Jianbin take out a box of clam ointment, "Put some of this on, it’ll help heal the cracks on your hands faster."

"Jianbin, you’re so kind," Zhou Siyu said with an emotional face.

Gu Jianbin ruffled her hair, "You’re my girl, if I don’t treat you well, who will I treat well?"

Zhou Siyu’s face turned red, and she suddenly sneezed. Gu Jianbin felt her clothes and said with concern, "Why aren’t you wearing a sweater? What if you get sick?"

Zhou Siyu lowered her head and said softly, "My dad has cancer, and all the family’s money went to his treatment, so..."

She didn’t continue her words, but Gu Jianbin understood her meaning and said, "Tomorrow I’ll take you to the city to buy some clothes, it’s just in time for the New Year, time to get some new ones."

Until now, Zhou Siyu had not told the truth, so Gu Jianbin still thought that Zhou Lanfang was Zhou Siyu’s biological mother. He had never visited Zhou Siyu’s home or seen Shen Jianhua; he took Zhou Siyu’s word for everything.

He also thought the Zhou family was in business and had only fallen on hard times because of Zhou Siyu’s father’s illness.

Gu Jianbin didn’t mind this at all; he firmly believed that he would achieve great success in the future. The financial status of his wife’s family didn’t concern him much, but there was one thing he valued greatly: education.

He believed that for two people to date, they must both be educated to have common topics of conversation, and that was one of the reasons he was willing to spend money on Zhou Siyu’s education.

"Maybe we shouldn’t waste that money?" Zhou Siyu expressed her concern, "What if your aunt finds out? She’ll definitely think we’re squandering money."

"It’s fine, if it makes you feel better, we can deduct it from the future dowry." Gu Jianbin still had thousands in savings, and with both of them studying, it was more than enough. They could even save some for their future wedding, so he wasn’t stingy with this money, although he typically didn’t like to spend frivolously.

Zhou Siyu looked around and, seeing no one, hugged him and said coquettishly, "Who needs to spend so much money to get a wife? As long as you’re willing, there are plenty of girls who would throw themselves at you without asking for a penny, right?"

These words not only expressed her gratitude to Gu Jianbin but also filled his vanity to the brim.

"You sure have a way with words."

Gu Jianbin held her in his arms, and his blood surged with emotion. Yet, conservative in his thoughts, despite the excitement, he did nothing unbecoming.
