Gu Jinli looked at Master Qi's gloomy expression and smiled, "Master Qi, actually, we're only business partners, we could part ways at any time. I don't mind that your family is avoiding mine for fear of getting dragged down."
Master Qi gave a skeptical look, as if to say, "Who are you kidding?" If she wasn't mad, why would she refuse his visit? Why would she come to his shop to cut ties?
However, he was also worried about Gu Jinli's suggestion that they could part ways anytime, and hastily said, "Gu Family's daughter, we can't split up. This business is hard-earned; if we part ways, what will your uncle's family do?"
The spice business was truly lucrative. In just three years, his family had accumulated quite a bit of silver from it. Even if something happened in Great Chu in the future, having this silver would give his family a better chance to survive difficult times.
Therefore, this business must not be disrupted.
