Chapter 19: The Attack Of The Tycoon (19)
Editor: Atlas Studios
Father Ji sat in his study room till it was almost 11 pm in the night. He had soone investigate Chuzheng’s recent events, especially the recording incident.
Since he would not get any news so quickly, Father Ji decided to return to his room, only to find out that his wife was still awake and was waiting for him.
“Old Ji.”
“Hmm.”
Stepmother sighed, “Did Chuzheng make you angry again?”
Father Ji opened his mouth to rebut her, but decided against it and continued to listen to Chuzheng’s stepmother.
“Don’t always argue with her all day, after all, she’s still young. You are so fierce, you will scare her away. If there’s anything, you can speak nicely and I believe Chuzheng is not an unreasonable kid.”
“Regarding the recent incident, perhaps Tongtong was frightened by it and had seen wrongly. Chuzheng is a little naughty, but she wouldn’t go overboard.”
Father Ji looked at Chuzheng’s stepmother with furrowed eyebrows.
Just then, Chuzheng’s words randomly appeared in his mind.
Every ti he argued with his daughter, she would also persuade him and say that the kids are still young, don’t scare them away. She would say it once and then twice, she was always like that…
Ji Tongtong and her mother tead up to make waste… my life so that they could inherit the Ji Family’s assets.
“Old Ji?”
“Old Ji, what are you thinking about?”
Father Ji ca back to his senses. “Hmm? Nothing much. It’s just that I was very busy at work today and am a little tired. Let’s sleep.”
Stepmother was a little suspicious, but after seeing that Father Ji was already asleep, she did not think about it any further.
After Chuzheng returned to her room, she was t with King’s reprimands as King had expected better from her.
[Little miss, you must rember. There isn’t anything in this world that cannot be solved with money. Even if there is, it must be because you are not spending enough! Hence, Little missy, you just have to——spend money! Spend money! Spend money! That will do! ]
Chuzheng:
‘It would be faster if we kill them.’
[…]’Can you not have such dangerous thoughts anymore? We are just an innocent prodigal system.’
Chuzheng wore a cold expression.
‘Let’s go to sleep.’
The next day.
“It’s my birthday party this weekend! All of you must co to my party.” Chuzheng heard Ji Tongtong inviting her classmates to her birthday party the mont she walked in.
She thought for a while and realized that Ji Tongtong’s birthday was coming soon.
Moreover…
Sothing bad was going to happen on her birthday.
Chuzheng silently walked back to her seat and Ji Tongtong seed to have glanced at her, but she quickly looked away.
“Will it be held at your house?” asked a classmate.
Ji Tongtong nodded her head. “Yup! We initially did not want to organize a party but daddy said we must hold one and had even invited many people.”
Father Ji agreed to organize a grand birthday party for her because of the hospital incident.
“Wah…”
Ji Tongtong’s words made many people admire her.
“Can we all go?”
“Of course, everyone can co to the party if they want to.”
During the period where Ji Tongtong was inviting everyone to her party, Chuzheng received a mission that was worth a few million dollars. It even had special requirents—she had to buy a three million dollar car.
Chuzheng was stunned. “??”
Previously, the system had never said that there would be designated spending money missions.
[Little missy, there would only be more surprises in the future~]King was very conceited.
Surprise?
What kind of surprises could a bronze player possibly give? A fright would be more like it.
Chuzheng pondered for a while. “Even if I buy the car, I can’t drive it so what’s the use?”
The proprietress was not eighteen yet and hence did not have a driving license.
[You can buy it and let the chauffeur drive it.]King made it sound so easy. [The wealthy do not have to drive their own cars.]
Chuzheng:
As such, Chuzheng happily bought a three million dollar luxury car.
The weekend.
Ji Tongtong’s birthday.
Father Ji had been pestered by Ji Tongtong the whole morning about her birthday party and had not been able to talk to Chuzheng despite Chuzheng being at ho.
It was not until Ji Tongtong went to find her mother that Father Ji bumped into Chuzheng in the corridor.
Father Ji hesitantly called out to her, “Zhengzheng…”
These few days, Chuzheng would occasionally co back later in the night, but it would not be too late. It was different from the tis where she would make a ruckus at ho whenever she had co back ho all drunk and tipsy.
She seed to have grown up without him knowing.
“Dad?”
Father Ji’s facial expression softened. “Do… you have enough money?”
He initially wanted to ask about her recent events but in the end, he only asked this sentence.
How could he not love his daughter?
It was just that previously, she would always make him worry about her and always bumped heads with him. Before he could even say a word, they would argue.
“Enough.” Chuzheng nodded her head expressionlessly.
With the system around, she would not have to fret about not having enough money.
She pondered for a while before turning around and went back to her room.
Father Ji who was still thinking about what he should say next was dumbfounded.
She left just like that?
However, Chuzheng ca out quickly and even had a box in her hands.
“I bought this a while back.” Chuzheng handed Father Ji the box.
The box was not heavy but when Father Ji held it, it seed a little heavy.
He looked deep into Chuzheng’s eyes as tears welled up his eyes. He had always quarreled with his daughter and yet now, he was at a loss over what to say.
Naturally, Chuzheng could not say any touching words.
“Great… great…”
Father Ji hugged the box as if he was hugging a treasure. He still rembered the ti he had received a present from her when she was little.
Chuzheng:
“In that case, I will return to my room first.”
Father Ji did not know what to say further and just nodded his head.
“Dad, can I co in?”
Father Ji was just about to put the box Chuzheng bought for him on the study table when he had heard Ji Tongtong knock onto the door and let her in.
Ji Tongtong recognized the jade ornant with a glance.
This should be the one Yang Qianqian was talking about.
Little did she know, she had bought it to give to Father Ji…
“Tongtong, what did you find for?”
Ji Tongtong imdiately gave a warm smile. “It’s going to be two o’clock and my classmates are coming soon, but you have not changed your clothes.”
“Oh right.” Father Ji had forgotten about this matter because of Chuzheng’s actions. “My mory is getting poorer, I will change right now.”
“There’s no need, daddy. I have already chosen your attire.” Ji Tongtong took out a suit from behind.
Father Ji laughed, “Tongtong is so considerate.”
Ji Tongtong gave the suit to Father Ji before giving a hesitant look.
“What’s wrong, Tongtong?” asked Father Ji.
Ji Tongtong seed to be very perplexed. “Dad… I…I think sothing’s wrong with big sister.”
“What’s wrong with her?” asked Father Ji.
“Daddy, I…”
“It’s okay, you can say it.”
Ji Tongtong’s face looked very lost before wearing a worried expression. “Didn’t you cut her credit card earlier on? But big sister could still spend lavishly. Previously, she bought a jade ornant for two hundred thousand dollars… Oh, yes, it was this.”
Ji Tongtong pointed at the jade ornant that was on Father Ji’s table.
“I am a little worried for big sister as she did not save much and always asked for money from you every now and then but this ti, her card was cut off and yet she still has so much money… I also don’t dare to ask her.”
Ji Tongtong’s face was full of worry and she made herself look like a good little sister who felt concerned for her big sister and hence told this matter to Father Ji.
Ji Tongtong looked at Father Ji carefully and saw that Father Ji’s eyebrows were slightly furrowed. She added, “Every ti after school, I would always see Big sister hanging out… with a bunch of people. I am scared that sothing would happen to Big sister.”
Ji Tongtong thought that Father Ji would blow a fuse, but Father Ji only furrowed his eyebrows. “We will talk about this after your birthday.”
Ji Tongtong was a little disappointed that Father Ji did not imdiately flare-up. Instead, she gave him a smile and said lovingly, “Hmm, daddy, you can change your clothes and I will go down first.”
“Go ahead.”
After Ji Tongtong left, Father Ji looked at the jade ornant on the table and the image of Chuzheng’s calm and peaceful eyes flashed past his eyes.
