Xiao Jinyu's peach blossom eyes curved into a smile. "This of course poses no problem, only, your younger brother has a small request."
Xiao Jinyan replied, "Speak."
With two fingers raised in a gesture for asking money, Xiao Jinyu pleaded, "Brother, I've been a bit tight on money recently. Could you support me a bit first?"
It wasn't much to spend money when asking for a favor, even if the person in question was one's own brother; doling out some getaway funds was acceptable.
Xiao Jinyan asked, "How much?"
Xiao Jinyu said, "Five thousand taels."
Upton hearing five thousand taels, Xiao Jinyan's expression darkened, "Say that again!"
Unafraid of death, Xiao Jinyu repeated, "Five thousand taels... of gold."
At the mention of gold, Xiao Jinyan raised his hand and began to give him a beating, "Do you have the nerve to mention gold?"
Xiao Jinyu cupped his head with a pitiful look, "Brother, only you can help your little brother now."
