Xiaoqian did not go home straight after she left the store. She looked at the time and thought that Ni Jianren was probably on his way. She did not want to hear her mother cry, not did she want to hear Chen Lin yell.
She cycled to the stock exchange. Personally she did not have an interest in the stock market. In her previous life, she made her investment using the information that her clients gave her.
People that went to see her were mostly dignitaries. Their information was usually accurate. Thus, Xiaoqian followed them to invest in the stock market and bought some properties. When her clients were telling her stories, they usually told her about the history of how they became successful.
They told the stories again and again. Xiaoqian was able to understand the ups and downs of the domestic stock market. It was now the bull market. She withdrew the money that Silly Yu lent her and invested in the stock market. She would repay him when she had enough start up funds.
She was going to use the bastard’s money, but Yu was willing to lend her the money.
Since Silly Yu was willing to give it to her, she accepted it. It was actually better to use his money than the bastard’s.
Xiaoqian opened an account. It was the beginning of August. She remembered one of her clients said that in the year 2000, there was a stock called the Qinling Cement. It started to rise in October and it raised to 40 bucks. Now it was only 10 bucks a point. She could put all the money Yu Minglang gave her in the market and it would quadruple in half a year. After she extracted from the market next it was almost time for the bear market.
Then she would use the money to invest in something else. After she graduated, she would be able to start a private practise and earn money from the rich.
Xiaoqian was one of those who would not be starved if she had a small start-up fund. Although she was not in the field of finance, the money she earned from the information that she received was able to sustain her for life.
As for the favor that she owed Silly Yu…
Xiaoqian shook her head, she wouldn not repay him! She gave him a daughter in her previous life and he did not contribute any child rearing fees. She felt guilty for thinking this way.
After she bought the stock, Xiaoqian was getting ready to cycle home. As she approached the pedestrian street, she saw something that slowed her down.
Yu Minglang was holding a bunch of things in his hands. There was a tall woman by his side. The woman had a slim body and she looked sweet.
Xiaoqian stared at the woman’s face, she was elegant and classy. She looked familiar.
She was a singer from her previous life. Her name was Shu Xi. She always performed at parties. She sang folk songs and she has a beautiful voice.
Yu Minglang did not see Xiaoqian who was across the street. He opened the trunk of the car and put the things inside. The woman also put the shopping bags inside. They were chatting.
The man was handsome and the girl was beautiful. Together, they made a beautiful pair. As Xiaoqian was admiring the pair, she almost hit the bushes by the roadside.
Yu Minglang was a tall gentleman. When he and the woman walked side by side, they looked like a perfect pair. The pedestrians stopped to take a look at them.
Xiaoqian saw that they bought a blanket and water bottles. They must be moving in together.
She was just feeling guilty for thinking about not repaying him. Now, she no longer felt that way.
Silly Yu even bought a Hello Kitty blanket for the woman. It was from a famous brand. That was expensive. ‘I wish that you would be infertile while lying there together. Infertile forever!’
Xiaoqian did not realize that her thought was malicious. However, when she saw Silly Yu smiling very happily at the woman, she wanted to punch him.
It’s a free world. You can be infertile with anyone you like! It had nothing to do with me!
Xiaoqian cycled very fast. She decided that she will not call him Silly Yu anymore. He was a magnificent lover. A shameless man that could not move when he saw beautiful women!
“Minglang, this should be enough.” Shu Xi said to Yu Minglang.
“Mm, let me send you back. Do you have a performance tonight?”
“Yes. I still have things to do after the performance. Please help me to inform our father.”
“Da Yu[1] didn’t go home when he passed his home three times while taming the flood. You’re even more ruthless than Da Yu. You never go home even passing home many times a year. Father must be livid.”
“Father wasn’t happy with the stage name that I picked. And he was still angry that I didn’t do as he said. This is the best place for me to start my career. If I use my given name, everyone would know who I am. It defies the family teaching of staying low-key. I want to do it by myself, I don’t want others to see me differently just because of my family background.”
Shu Xi’s given name was Yu Mingxi. She was the princess of the Yu family. Everybody in the family loved her very much. She was the twin sister of Yu Minglang. She was born a few minutes earlier than Yu Minglang. She was pampered by her father since the day she was born. When she was 14 years old, she went to an art school secretly, and her stardom was unstoppable ever since.
Not only that, she changed her name. Father Yu was so angry with her, but hated to hurt his little princess.
“You’re just a naive girl who has an extended rebellious period.” Yu Minglang said to his dizygotic twin sister. He said it without any restraint.
“Enough about me! You didn’t do any better than me, okay. Right, you asked me to come out and buy so many things, they are mainly pink in color. Who is it for anyway? Tell me, is it for your girlfriend?”
“No, just a friend.”
“Hahaha, friend? You called me. Let me investigate. When I went to the art school at the age of fourteen, I didn’t have any friends that bought all these things for me? Such hard life.”
Shu Xi’s stage image differs greatly from how she behaves at home. The look on her face was just like mother Yu when gossipping.
“You have agents to take care of you. You don’t need these.”
“Other than daily necessities, you also bought snacks for her. When a man buys snacks for a woman, do you know what it means? I’ve never had any friends that buy snacks for me.”
Yu Minglang started to feel that his stomach hurt from the investigation. He took ten bucks from his pocket and shoved it in her hand. Then, he pushed her aside.
“Get a cab by yourself, I’m not sending you home.”
Yu Mingxi pouted at this ungrateful fellow.
Her brother was the one who had the darkest heart in the family. He was petty and he held grudges.
Yu Minglang drove past her, lowered the window and said to her.
“If you dare to tell mom about this, I’ll tell grandfather that you stole his wine.”
“I know. Scarm. Go and send your love to your little girlfriend!”
After Yu Minglang left, Yu Mingxi took her phone. She had a gossip face on.
“I won’t tell mom, but I can tell my sister-in-law. When our sister-in-law knows, our mom would know too. Then the whole family and the hospital would know…younger brother, you still have lots to learn, hahaha!”
