Let's Squander A Billion First!

[...] I really want to see what Good Person Card is thinking inside.

[An Ji: ...]

[An Ji: Did you see everything?]

[San Ye: Yeah.]

Do I need to be responsible? I can if necessary!

First get my hands on the Good Person Card!

I can do it!

[An Ji: ...] 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Chuzheng originally thought An Ji would say something, but he didn’t send any more messages, so Chuzheng had to put down the phone.

"How has Xiao Chu been lately?" Wan Ying spoke up proactively.

"Pretty good," Chuzheng replied casually.

Today, Grandma Chi called them back, and Chuzheng didn’t know what it was about.

Grandma Chi personally called, so Chuzheng couldn’t refuse and had to come over. She thought it was just Grandma Chi wanting to see her granddaughter, but upon arriving, she found Wan Ying and the ever-busy Mr. Chi also present.

Because of the previous will incident, Mr. Chi held quite an opinion of Chuzheng.

So during this meeting, Mr. Chi kept a stern face.

Chuzheng acted as if she didn’t see him.

You don’t like me, well, I don’t like you either!

"Are you still working there?" Wan Ying tried to stir conversation: "You and your dad shouldn’t be so at odds. Your dad is doing it for your own good; you should come back home."

Chuzheng gave Wan Ying a strange look.

Wan Ying couldn’t wait for the original host to be out of the house. Why the change of heart today?

A pregnant woman gets dumb for three years?

"What’s so good about it?" Wan Ying wore a worried expression: "Look, you’re a girl, it’s not safe outside, there are so many bad people. If you come back, your dad wouldn’t have to worry about you every day."

Chuzheng: "..."

Worried I’ll inherit the estate?

"Mind your own business and stop meddling." Chuzheng coldly glanced at her belly.

For some reason, Wan Ying felt that Chuzheng’s gaze was like packed with ice shards, and instinctively protected her stomach.

"Xiao Chu, Auntie is just looking out for you. Even if you don’t appreciate it, you don’t have to say it like that."

"Are you arguing with your Aunt again?" Mr. Chi came out of the room, just in time to hear Wan Ying’s words, and immediately yelled at Chuzheng: "Your Aunt is pregnant now, and you still don’t know any better. Just look at how old you are!"

Chuzheng, with a calm face, retorted, "I wasn’t arguing."

How could a boss argue!

Do I have no dignity?!

Mr. Chi: "If you weren’t arguing, then what were you doing?"

Chuzheng found Mr. Chi’s question a bit foolish: "Talking."

"..."

Wan Ying tugged at Mr. Chi: "Alright, alright, it’s nothing serious, I was just talking to Xiao Chu about coming back home..."

"Come back? What’s she coming back for? Just to upset you? You’re pregnant now, I think she shouldn’t come back. If she’s comfortable outside, let her stay out there!" Mr. Chi was quite angry.

If you don’t want me to come back, then I insist on coming back!

If I can’t get rid of you, can’t I at least anger you to death?!

"I’ll come back tomorrow," Chuzheng said, looking at Wan Ying.

Wan Ying’s face stiffened for a moment but still smiled and said, "Don’t be mad, Xiao Chu wanting to come back is a good thing. It’s not safe for a girl to be outside."

"What are you all arguing about again?"

Grandma Chi came out from her room, not looking pleased at all.

Mr. Chi fell silent immediately.

"Mom, it’s nothing," Wan Ying chimed in.

Perhaps because Wan Ying was pregnant, Grandma Chi didn’t say anything harsh, but she didn’t engage further either.

Grandma Chi looked at Mr. Chi: "Did you understand what I said to you earlier?"

"Mom, even if she joins the company, look at her now, how long can she last?" Mr. Chi frowned and said.

Grandma Chi: "Can’t you teach her? You’re her father! Not her enemy, what’s with your attitude!"

Mr. Chi: "..."

Today, Grandma Chi called them over concerning the matter of Chuzheng joining the company.

Irrespective of whether Mr. Chi or Chuzheng, the involved parties, were willing or not, Grandma Chi had the final say.

Chuzheng: "..."

It’s so hard being a person.

Mr. Chi didn’t even eat, just leaving with the remark ’Report to the company on Monday,’ and departed with Wan Ying.

Grandma Chi gave a cold snort and pulled Chuzheng to have a meal.

-

Grandma Chi talked to Chuzheng about returning to the company. Chuzheng wasn’t interested, so she appeased her with a couple of perfunctory responses to stabilize Grandma Chi for now.

When Chuzheng said she’d go back, she really did return to the Chi Family the next day.

Mr. Chi was not home, and Wan Ying gave her an odd look, but her face still had a smile.

Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered to deal with her and went upstairs to her own room.

The first thing Chuzheng saw when she entered the room was the bookshelf full of An Ji’s books, all lined up... with multiple copies of each book.

If it weren’t for the evidence in her phone, Chuzheng would suspect this wasn’t a hater but an obsessed fan!

Bzzz...

On the phone screen, An Ji’s chat box suddenly popped up.

[An Ji: Did Uncle Fei say something to you?]

Before Chuzheng could reply, another message popped up.

[An Ji: Uncle Fei was just talking nonsense, don’t take it seriously.]

[San Ye: So do you have someone you like?]

[An Ji: No... no one, Uncle Fei was talking nonsense.]

[San Ye: Oh.]

Good that there’s no one.

This is my Good Person Card after all.

Perhaps noticing Chuzheng hadn’t replied for a while, An Ji sent another message.

[An Ji: Umm, did I do anything strange that night?]

An Ji was reclusive for a day because Chuzheng changed his clothes for him.

Then, upon being informed by Fei Xiu about what he said to Chuzheng, An Ji felt even more self-conscious.

Chuzheng thought for a moment; An Ji actually behaved quite well, doing whatever he was told...

[San Ye: No.]

[An Ji: Sorry to make you see that...]

[San Ye: Not at all.] He’s very cute, and his hair was soft!

[An Ji: Did you quit your job?]

[San Ye: Yeah.]

[An Ji: Why?]

Inwardly, An Ji was anxious, worried it was because of what Fei Xiu said... After all, Chuzheng resigned the day after Fei Xiu spoke those words.

This is too subtle...

An Ji couldn’t help but think wildly, but whenever he thought of Chuzheng’s demeanor when facing him, which lacked any suggestive glances, An Ji calmed down.

[San Ye: No reason, just didn’t want to work anymore.]

Chuzheng noticed that An Ji was typing for a long time without sending anything, then paused briefly, and finally sent a message that wasn’t very long.

[An Ji: I’ve received my sample books, can I send them to you?]

[San Ye: I’m not staying in the apartment anymore.]

After Chuzheng sent this message, there was no reply from An Ji for a long time.

Just when Chuzheng assumed An Ji wouldn’t reply, a message popped up in the chat box.

[An Ji: Where are you staying then?]

Chuzheng said she went back home and sent him the location of the Chi Family.

[An Ji: You went home... Can we still meet in the future?]

[San Ye: We’re just a district apart, an hour’s drive. Why wouldn’t we see each other?]

What’s the Good Person Card thinking?

She just changed her place of residence, why make it sound like they’ll never see each other again?

[An Ji: I’m super cute.jpg]

Chuzheng browsed through the original owner’s emoji collection, but they were too silly and not in line with her boss demeanor, so as there were no other messages from An Ji, Chuzheng simply didn’t reply.
