Chapter 66: Forty Cents
“But Fang Xinxin refuses to come home with me…”
“That’s because you used the wrong method.” Fang Lilan smiled ruthlessly. “Let your mother handle this matter.”
“Mom, I’m depending on you now.”
“You can’t depend on me. As your mother, I can only assist you. You have to depend on yourself. All you have to do is to defeat Fang Xinxin. Don’t worry. She can’t even compare to a single hair of yours.”
“I got it.” Fang Manxue seemed to recall something.
“Mom, even if we’re not in a hurry to seduce Bai Qinghao, we have to bring her home soon. It’s been days since she took the drugs. At this rate, she will start losing weight rapidly. She also hasn’t used those skincare and make-up products for quite some time. If her face recovers, it will become a problem for us.”
Fang Lilan narrowed her eyes viciously. “Yes, we definitely can’t let her recover!”
…
The next morning, Fang Xinxin was woken up by rapid knocks on the bedroom door.
She opened her eyes drowsily and yawned. In an unhappy voice, she said, “Who is this?”
“It’s me.” Liu Li’s agitated voice could be heard from outside.
“What is it?” Fang Xinxin picked up her phone from her pillow side. She checked the time. “You’re waking me up at six in the morning. Are you crazy?”
“It’s not early anymore. Usually, we have morning training at 5.30 a.m. Quickly get up. I promise you’ll be so excited that your sleep will vanish!” Liu Li’s voice was slightly loud.
Fang Xinxin had no choice but to get dressed and open the bedroom door.
Liu Li spoke with anticipation in his voice. “Fang Xinxin, the winning numbers from last night’s lottery are out. Guess what? The tickets you bought have won the grand prize. I wanted to wake you up late last night to tell you this. I’ve been holding it in until now. It really wasn’t easy.”
“Oh.” She yawned lazily. “I won the grand prize. But why are you so agitated?”
“Umm, I remember you bought a stack of tickets, right?”
“Yeah. I bought seventeen of them with identical numbers. I spent six dollars eighty cents in total.”
“All seventeen lottery tickets were bought with the same number?”
“En.” She nodded her head
“Ahh, I’m going crazy!” Liu Li appeared as though he could not breathe. “One ticket is worth eight hundred thousand dollars. You actually spent six dollars eighty cents and won more than thirteen million dollars!!!”
She wanted to tell him that she also rescued the Gu Group’s Director, Gu Linyuan, and sold him some information to earn a lot of money.
If Liu Li learned about that, would he collapse on the ground in shock?
“Oh.” Fang Xinxin twirled her hair between her fingers. “So, I won the grand prize.”
“I got it.” She had bought the tickets based on her previous memories. She naturally knew she would win the grand prize.
Liu Li stared at her in disbelief. “You won more than thirteen million, ah. Why don’t you look excited?” From her reaction, one would think that it was an insignificant amount.
“Aiyayayaya! I’m especially happy!” Fang Xinxin pretended to dance in joy for a moment. “Is this enough?”
Liu Li: “…”
“Do you still need anything else?” she asked.
Liu Li fiddled with his hands in embarrassment. “That… previously, didn’t you say that you spent forty cents on one ticket, and that you’d sell one to me?”
She stared at him warily. “What are you trying to say?”
“Haha, naturally, refusing would be impolite. I’ll buy it from you with forty cents, ah.” He brought out a few coins and placed it in his palm sincerely.
With a shy smile, he offered them to her. “Here.”
