Chapter 28 The Money Expired! Xiao Xiao Can’t Find Her Way Out of the Mess!

The cameraman finally caught on and felt that something was a bit off. After spending the day with Gu Xu, he had come to realize that Gu Xu was nothing short of a troublemaker!

How could he not be eyeing Xiao Xiao’s little treasure chest?

This didn’t make any sense!

And also…

There was no reason for Xiao Xiao to randomly treat them to a meal. He felt something was fishy about the whole situation. The cameraman, after a brief moment of thinking, decided to ask Xiao Xiao directly this time.

At that moment, Xiao Xiao was busy pulling money out of her piggy bank. Bills and coins were scattered all over the floor. In total, there must have been at least a few thousand yuan!

The cameraman, seeing this, couldn’t help but praise her.

“Wow, Xiao Xiao, I didn’t expect you to have so much money!”

The little one smiled proudly at the compliment.

“Of course! My red envelope money is all saved by me!”

“Dad won’t take a single penny from me!”

The cameraman was stunned, watching Xiao Xiao with wide eyes.

He muttered under his breath, “Could it be that I really misunderstood Gu Xu?”

“Looks like Gu Xu actually has some redeeming qualities!

It’s nice to know he’s not scamming his kid after all!”

“Finally, something good is happening!”

“It hasn’t been easy…”

As the cameraman thought about it, he realized that, out of everything, this was the only thing Gu Xu had done that was reliable.

Just as he was thinking this, the cameraman noticed something strange. Xiao Xiao was carefully examining each bill, her small face serious as she focused intensely. Her expression looked as if she was doing something very important.

Curiosity got the best of the cameraman.

He leaned in and asked softly, “Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?”

“All the money looks the same. What’s there to look at?”

Without turning her head, Xiao Xiao responded while still inspecting the bills.

“Of course, I’m looking at the production date!”

“Each bill has it!”

As she spoke, Xiao Xiao held up a bill and said to the cameraman, “Uncle, look…”

“This one is from 2017!”

“It’s still valid!”

Then she picked up another one.

“This one’s from 2007, so it’s expired!”

Xiao Xiao was extremely focused as she examined the dates on the money.

With a slightly regretful tone, she said, “So many of my bills are expired!”

The cameraman’s eyes widened as he suddenly realized something was wrong. After spending the day with Gu Xu, he thought maybe there was hope for him. But now, his hope had been dashed. He couldn’t help but snicker inwardly.

Just when he thought Gu Xu was doing something right, he had been slapped in the face with the truth. It was impossible to expect anything from him. Gu Xu’s tricks were mind-blowing, to say the least!

This guy was truly a master at scamming, especially with his devilish ways of fooling his own kid. It wasn’t an expiration date, it was a production year!

The cameraman had to take several deep breaths to calm down before he could ask, “So, where did all the expired money go?”

Xiao Xiao beamed with joy and proudly answered, “Dad bought it!”

“Dad said the expired bills can’t be used anymore.”

“So, he bought them from me, so I wouldn’t lose out!”

“He said that since he’s an adult, it’s okay to take a small loss!”

She grinned even wider, clearly feeling she had gotten a great deal.

“He bought one expired red bill for just one yuan!”

“Dad bought over a hundred of them!”

Xiao Xiao then sighed deeply, pouting in dissatisfaction. She couldn’t understand.

“Why would adults use expired money as red envelope money?”

“Is it because they can’t spend it themselves?”

“That’s so strange!”

“Is it because they want to bully kids?”

She shook her head unhappily. But then she thought of her dad again and immediately brightened up.

“Good thing I have Dad!”

“He helped me make a little profit.”

“At least I didn’t lose too much!”

“Just like Dad says, you have to be content!”

“Anyway, let’s stop talking about this!”

The cameraman was left speechless after hearing all of this!

What… what could he even say?

Gu Xu was ruthless!

He had used just a hundred yuan to buy over 10,000 yuan worth of expired bills from Xiao Xiao!

The most unbelievable part was that Xiao Xiao was grateful to her dad. This was truly a case of being sold and still helping count the money!

Gu Xu’s schemes were so ingenious, it was impossible to defend against them. If Xiao Xiao had even a kindergarten diploma, she wouldn’t have been so easily tricked!

The live chat exploded at this point!

“This is unbelievable! This scam is just too much! I want to beat Gu Xu for Xiao Xiao!”

“Of course, there’s always a catch!”

“Every day, I fall for something new!”

“I knew it! Gu Xu never has good intentions!”

“Gu Xu is the devil, right? I’m so worried for Xiao Xiao…”

“I really want to see what happens when Xiao Xiao finds out the truth. I’m super excited…”

“I’ve learned something new today! A pro-level kid scammer technique!”

“Hahaha, this is too much! Bullying poor Xiao Xiao! I want to beat him up!”

“Gu Xu is seriously a genius!”

“I’ve seen parents scamming their kids before, but this is a whole new level!”

The viewers were losing it!

All day long, Gu Xu had been thinking of ways to trick Xiao Xiao. Even Teacher He and Wang Bingbing in the studio couldn’t watch anymore!

Gu Xu’s actions were too painful to witness!

Wang Bingbing looked at Yang Mi with a helpless expression.

“Miss Mi! Can we interview you?”

“Do you know about this situation?”

Yang Mi was fuming!

Her expression was dark, almost as if ink would start dripping from her face. She was clearly beyond angry. She knew Gu Xu was unreliable, but she hadn’t expected him to do something so absurd!

Upon hearing the question, Yang Mi took a deep breath and tried to regain her composure. She forced a smile, but there was a clear trace of gritted teeth in her tone.

“I honestly didn’t know about this!”

Taking another deep breath, she continued,

“Wait until I get home; I’m going to give Gu Xu a serious talking to!”

“This guy is so infuriating!”

The audience in the live chat couldn’t get enough of the scene.

“Miss Mi totally broke down!”

“Looks like Gu Xu tricked even Miss Mi! How miserable!”

“Hahaha! I’ve never seen Miss Mi’s face so dark before…”

“Miss Mi: Gu Xu, you’re in for it! When we get home, you’ll be kneeling on durian!”

“Gu Xu, you’re finished! Miss Mi is going to deal with you!!”

…

The scene changed again. We saw Xiao Xiao holding a 100-yuan bill, muttering to herself, “Why is this one about to expire too?”

“Good thing I found out, I’ll just use it up now…”

“Rather than letting it expire, it’s better to use it now!”

As she spoke, the little one’s expression was a mix of confusion and regret. Her sighing face made the cameraman shake his head in disbelief. It was truly baffling!

How could someone be so cruel to such a cute daughter?

But then, thinking about it, Gu Xu’s family probably didn’t lack money. He was just doing it for fun. But when the cameraman saw Gu Xu’s figure, He couldn’t help but glare at him fiercely.

Gu Xu had become so thick-skinned over time that he didn’t care at all. He just gave the cameraman a cheeky smile. He knew that the cameraman had figured out his little scheme when he saw Xiao Xiao counting the money by the door!

As long as Gu Xu wasn’t embarrassed, it was the cameraman who would feel awkward. With that mindset, Gu Xu’s psychological resilience was off the charts.

After the cameraman’s glare, he realized Gu Xu wasn’t bothered at all. He gave up on trying to scold him. It didn’t matter; this was between a father and daughter.

What was he, an outsider, doing getting involved?

Once the cameraman understood this, he straightened his attitude and quickly got back to work. He put his personal feelings aside and focused on the task at hand.

Gu Xu blinked, surprised by the cameraman’s swift change in behavior. But he wasn’t foolish enough to ask why. Gu Xu cleared his throat twice.

Immediately, the little one, still counting the money, turned her attention back to him.

“What are you doing? Can’t you see I’m looking for my money?”

Gu Xu pretended to help with the search. After gathering the money, the three of them finally left the house. They exited the neighborhood and headed straight to the nearby pedestrian street.

By the time they reached the pedestrian street, it was almost 8 PM. The street was bustling with people, and the air was thick with the aroma of food.
