Huayu: Starting by piggybacking on the fame of "Fairy Mom"

Chapter 57 The 1-cent joke

The moment Zhou Xiaobai had this thought, Liu Qianqian in his arms became anxious.

He quickly hugged her tightly, afraid that Liu Qianqian would start a full-blown fight at home; this had to be done secretly.

He was just plotting how to cause trouble when Zhou Wenqiong pointed to her beautiful face and preemptively said, "Boss Chen, cousin, look at my face, isn't it pretty?"

"You're definitely beautiful, you're the most beautiful flower in our Jiangcheng," Boss Chen praised.

He had previously harbored feelings for Zhou Wenqiong, but she remained unmoved.

But he didn't understand what Zhou Wenqiong meant.

"Heh!" Zhou Wenqiong chuckled coldly, then posed the question: "If you could let go of this face, how much do you think it's worth?"

"Look at my cousin again. Is she less attractive than me? Or do you think 300,000 a year will allow you to do whatever you want?"

After a pause, Zhou Wenqiong said sarcastically, "My cousin's performance this year could win the highest award in the country, or do you really think she'd give up her dreams for your real estate company's dance troupe?"

"This—" Boss Chen looked at Zhou Wenqiong, then stared at Liu Xiaoli.

He had become accustomed to smooth sailing over the years and felt that there was nothing that money couldn't solve; the root of everything lay in cost.

"Are you overeating or still sleepy?" Liu Xiaoli spoke up at the opportune moment, looking at her older brother, "Did you come here today just for this?"

"Xiaoli, I was just worried about you, so I came to check on you!" Liu Daqiang replied awkwardly.

Liu Xiaoli bluntly exposed her, "Is that how you see me? Or do you think I, your younger sister, can be used as a tool for your advancement? Or do you think the Liu family needs to sell their daughter for personal gain? You've completely disgraced the Liu family."

Liu Daqiang rubbed his hands together to hide his embarrassment, then looked at Boss Chen.

He came here without telling his family. He knew Liu Xiaoli's personality; no matter how unhappy they were, she wouldn't tell her family.

Liu Qianqian suddenly spoke up, looking at Boss Chen with disdain: "How much have you made in the past few years? Ten million? I'll pay—"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Xiaobai covered his mouth.

After Liu Qianqian gave up struggling, Zhou Xiaobai took out the two red envelopes he had just received from her. He felt their thickness and decided to first dampen her arrogance before dealing with her.

He joked, "Boss Chen, let me guess how much this is—a thousand? Five thousand? Or ten thousand?"

Boss Chen's face turned cold. Being ridiculed by Zhou Wenqiong was an adult's business. How dare you, a little brat, cause trouble?

He was about to retaliate when Zhou Xiaobai delivered a fatal blow: "Our orphanage received several million yuan in donations before the New Year. Why don't you try donating too? If you can't even afford that much, what are you pretending to be—"

"It's still a toad trying to eat swan meat," Liu Qianqian added, then snatched the red envelope from Zhou Xiaobai's hand and threw it at Boss Chen.

These two scoundrels' remarks made Boss Chen swallow back what he was about to say.

I've made some money over the past few years, not tens of millions, but definitely several million.

However, all his funds are tied up in projects, and even if he had millions, he would never donate them.

In the real estate industry, a few million can leverage projects worth tens of millions.

At this moment, Zhou Xiaobai remained silent, looking at the assessment given by the system—

[System Evaluation: Their thieving intentions haven't given up; going in for a meal is inevitable.]

This assessment left Zhou Xiaobai deep in thought.

What does this mean? ...Heh! Zhou Xiaobai sneered inwardly. It seems that Boss Chen is destined for prison, and he won't need to resort to his ultimate weapon.

Boss Chen and Liu Daqiang did not stay long.

The matter of the "Lifi Dance Troupe" was clearly beyond further discussion; the two villains' counterattack left them with no face to stay any longer.

A cool breeze brushed his face as Mr. Chen stepped outside. The cold air outside refreshed him and made him feel much more clear-headed.

He looked at Liu Daqiang and had another idea...

"Hahaha……"

After the others left, Liu Xiaoli and Zhou Wenqiong burst into laughter.

"Sister Li, this guy doesn't look like a good person at all."

Zhou Xiaobai's expression was very serious. Liu Xiaoli was taken aback for a moment, then understood.

Zhou Wenqiong pinched Zhou Xiaobai's cheek and turned to Liu Xiaoli, saying, "Sister, look, even Xiaobai can tell."

"Alright, what are you trying to say? Stop beating around the bush," Liu Xiaoli said irritably.

"Your brother is right. How about we change our environment after you win the award this year?" Zhou Wenqiong said, glancing at Liu Qianqian before continuing, "These rumors outside will eventually affect Qianqian."

"Yes, let's move to the capital." Liu Qianqian nodded in agreement.

For the cause of immortality, the capital city is a vital hub of resources.

Zhou Xiaobai had told her that once everything was settled, they would settle down in Beijing.

"You idiot, do you want another beating?" Liu Xiaoli said, then looked at Zhou Xiaobai, her question filled with curiosity and envy, "Xiaobai, is it true that someone donated millions to the orphanage?"

Zhou Xiaobai felt dizzy. Liu Xiaoli and Liu Qianqian, this mother and daughter, only had money on their minds.

"Tell me quickly, who's so rich? Who's the sucker?" Zhou Wenqiong was also curious. Several million! What couldn't they do with that kind of money?

"You're the one who's been wronged—"

Liu Qianqian's quick answer was interrupted by Zhou Xiaobai, who said mysteriously, "I heard she's a big star. I don't know, but Grandma Wang said she's as beautiful as an angel."

He was speaking to Da Meili, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Qianqian—he had plenty of free praise to offer, and as long as she, this idiot, didn't cause trouble, everything would be fine.

Liu Qianqian grinned, showing her teeth, and boasted, "Grandma Wang also said she's pretty, cute, and very smart."

"hehe!"

Liu Xiaoli and Zhou Wenqiong exchanged a smile, thinking that the two little brats must know, but they didn't ask any further questions.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. What are your plans for the future?" Zhou Wenqiong changed the subject.

She felt that her cousin had a lot of potential but no plan, and that it would be great if she started a dance class.

Not lacking in fame, but also in top-notch dancing skills.

The dance troupe was kept afloat by Liu Xiaoli; she knew that some parents had said they would pay the tuition upfront if she ran the troupe.

Zhou Wenqiong had just had this idea when Zhou Xiaobai spoke up for her: "Sister Li, why don't you start a dance school?"

"I open a dance school?" Liu Xiaoli was surprised. Could it be what her cousin and younger cousin were talking about?

She looked at Zhou Wenqiong with a questioning expression.

Zhou Wenqiong wholeheartedly agreed with her younger brother's words: "Setting up a dance school is a piece of cake for you, isn't it?"

"That won't do, the investment is too large." Liu Xiaoli spread her hands helplessly.

Zhou Wenqiong doesn't care about money, and she has also made plans for herself: "I have some money, and if it's not enough, we'll think of something else. Didn't I tell you I was going to retire from the entertainment industry? Then I can open an acting training class; this industry has great potential."

"Sister Li, Sister Qiong, you handle it, I have money," Zhou Xiaobai suddenly said.

Liu Qianqian's eyes lit up. She was puzzled, because hadn't they said the money had other uses?

She gets anxious over small amounts of money, but she doesn't hesitate when it comes to large sums, especially since this is for her mother.

However, she did not speak up about such an important matter.

"If you have money, why are you grabbing red envelopes?" Liu Xiaoli didn't believe it. She stared at Zhou Xiaobai's empty pockets and delivered the decisive blow, "If you can pull out even a single penny, I'll change my surname to yours." She knew very well that even if he had money, it was definitely in someone else's pocket.

Zhou Xiaobai glared at Liu Qianqian—Liu Qianqian was so stingy, she really wouldn't leave him a single penny.

He finally replied softly, "There will be some in the future."

However, Liu Xiaoli and Zhou Wenqiong felt that there was something hidden in his words, but they didn't believe Zhou Xiaobai's claim of being rich at all.

Seeing her best friend being humiliated, Liu Qianqian touched her still sore buttocks and sneered inwardly: From now on, I'll give my brother a penny and make you change your surname.

"What are you laughing at? Here! This is your New Year's money." Liu Xiaoli took out two red envelopes from her bosom, then pointed to the ones that had just been confiscated from her, "Since you're so protective of your mother, I don't want them."

Upon seeing the red envelope, Liu Qianqian acted even faster than she smiled; she put it in her pocket as soon as she received it, afraid that her mother would change her mind.

Zhou Wenqiong followed with a smile, earning praise from Liu Qianqian, but a cold look from Zhou Xiaobai.
