The "actions Gu Qing took after returning" that Su Changqin mentioned referred to another matter.

Soon, as Su Xiyue lowered her head in a guilty and flustered state, Su Changqin's voice came:

"After Qingqing got home, she secretly took today's shopping receipt, did you know that?"

"Shopping receipt?"

Su Xiyue was taken aback at first, but after a few seconds, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said as if she had just realized something:

"I know, he definitely wants to get reimbursed. Isn't that something you always do?"

"boom!"

A book hit Su Xiyue on the head.

"Mom, what are you doing!"

Su Xiyue covered her head, looking at her mother with great grievance.

But then Su Changqin's eyes revealed a look of disappointment and frustration.

"How could I have given birth to such an idiot daughter!"

After cursing, Su Changqin couldn't help but sigh.

"You remember it for me!"

Su Changqin pointed at Su Xiyue's nose and said:

"First of all, all the expenses I reimbursed were legal, compliant, and reasonable!"

"Secondly, Qingqing took the shopping receipt, most likely to write down what she and her son spent today. Do you understand what that means?"

As it turns out, Su Xiyue may have been a bit slow-witted, but she wasn't stupid.

After thinking for a moment, Su Xiyue hesitated and said:

"Mom, you think... Qingqing doesn't really consider us a family yet, is that right?"

How could a family deliberately keep track of each other's expenses?

There is only one reason why Gu Qing did this.

That is, once this blended family splits up, it is best to clarify the economic situation of each individual.

The best state is when no one owes anyone anything.

"That's it."

Su Changqin lit a cigarette, letting the smoke swirl around her.

"So you need to behave well from now on, act like an older sister, and strive to become a truly inseparable family as soon as possible!" Su Changqin said to Su Xiyue, placing high hopes on her.

"I'll do it!"

Su Xiyue patted her flat chest, making a gesture of effort.

There is more than one way to become an inseparable family.

……

In the bedroom.

Wearing a bathrobe, Gu Qing was sitting at her desk, reading a book she had bought on a whim while shopping at the mall earlier that day.

After a series of knocks, Gu Qing opened the door.

Su Xiyue's pretty face appeared before him.

"Is something wrong?"

Gu Qing's tone was flat, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent.

Su Xiyue's gaze lingered for a moment on Gu Qing's faintly visible collarbone, and she unconsciously pursed her lips before saying:

"My mom said that if you have time, you should go to her study."

"I see."

Gu Qing nodded to indicate that he understood, and then walked past Su Xiyue, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering at Su Xiyue's nose.

Su Xiyue sniffed hard with her little nose, but it didn't seem to smell like shower gel or shampoo.

Meanwhile, after Su Changqin said "Please come in," Gu Qing also entered Su Changqin's study.

This was the first time Gu Qing had stepped into Su Changqin's study.

The room was large and decorated in an antique style, which perfectly matched Su Changqin's character.

A wall of bookshelves is neatly stacked with all kinds of books.

However, it is certain that most of them are decorations, many of which show no signs of having been looked at, and some even have their packaging still intact.

"Aunt Su, is there something you need?"

Gu Qing sat down opposite Su Changqin, who seemed to have just finished smoking, as there was still a faint smell of tobacco in the air.

"A little thing."

As Su Changqin spoke, she pushed a bank card in front of Gu Qing.

I'll give you five million, just leave my daughter!

This is the scenario that Gu Qing is currently contemplating.

If this were the world, it would be more likely that you would take this card and wash yourself clean tonight!

This is an even more far-fetched plot.

After shaking off the unreliable plot in her head, Gu Qing looked at the bank card in front of her with a puzzled expression.

"This is……"

Gu Qing had a guess, but wasn't sure.

Su Changqin smiled and explained, "These are the household's daily expenses."

"This includes daily necessities, grocery shopping, cooking, or other odds and ends."

"In addition, your allowance and Xiyue's allowance will also be deposited into this card every month."

Gu Qing now understood Su Changqin's meaning.

This is to ask him to take on some responsibility at home, or rather, it's a reasonable way to bring them closer together.

But Gu Qing still hesitated slightly and said, "I think it would be more appropriate for you to hand it over to my father."

Hearing this, Su Changqin smiled again, then gave Gu Qing a knowing look, and said:

“Ah Yuan, you definitely know your personality better than I do. Besides, Ah Yuan told me that when you two were together, you were in charge of the family finances.”

"Don't refuse. Xiyue has agreed. From now on, her monthly allowance will depend on you!"

13. Prepare papaya for Su Xiyue

Gu Qing eventually accepted the bank card.

This also means that he will take on the family responsibilities he should have.

"I will send you the corresponding bill every month."

After leaving those words, Gu Qing left Su Changqin's study.

Of the four family members, Gu Qing had the least contact with Su Changqin.

However, based on Gu Qing's experience of living two lives, although he still couldn't fully understand Su Changqin, he could already make some preliminary judgments.

Despite holding a high position, he remained unassuming.

Even though they have a full-time driver, they still prefer to drive themselves.

He's quick-witted and has high emotional intelligence; after all, he's a government employee.

He loves smoking, but he controls it very well, and he thinks things through very thoroughly in all aspects of his work.

Overall, judging from the current situation, Su Changqin's impression score with Gu Qing is relatively high.

It's unclear whether what he's seeing now is Su Changqin's true appearance or some kind of disguise.

Having met many people in government offices in his previous life, Gu Qing knew very well that these people often had more than one face.

……

When Gu Qing returned to the second floor, he saw Su Xiyue.

Su Xiyue was still standing at the door of his bedroom.

At this moment, Su Xiyue had not yet taken off the white dress she wore while shopping that afternoon.

The skirt wasn't very long, just enough to cover her thighs.

Further down, you can see two shapely and slender legs.

With her delicate and pretty face, Su Xiyue stood there gracefully, giving off an elegant and poised air.
