Chapter 102: 102 Chicken Killer!

Unit, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand...

Ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, and then...

Xia Xing counted twice and both times, he dared not count past ten million.

Why is there so much money in his account?

This card was given to Little Tiangao to use, but not only did it not decrease by a cent, it actually grew by so much?

Could these extra funds be the earnings from that event he attended in Jiangzhou?

Unless the head of Jiangzhou TV Station has some dirty little thoughts about him!

How could that be?

Xia Xing even laughed at himself.

But a second later, unable to think of any other reason, he still turned around and sneaked a phone call to the club’s owner to probe about the situation in Jiangzhou.

The result he got was that the owner had been married for fifteen years, with two children, and had a blissful marriage as well as a reputation for integrity and uprightness.

Xia Xing slowly turned back, his eyes looking towards Xia Ye with a hint of hesitation, suddenly recalling that he had seen a platform highly suspicious of cryptocurrency trading on her phone before...

Could it be...

Did Little Tiangao really get into trading cryptocurrency?

And... she made a profit?

This little lucky charm’s fortune is impressive...

Xia Ye plucked a few leaves, preparing for some mysterious little experiment tonight, and stood up to see Xia Xing staring at her. She tilted her little head innocently, "Xia Xing, what’s wrong?"

Xia Xing opened his mouth, and after a long while, managed to force out a smile, "No, nothing."

He decided to keep silent for now; those places could indeed make a lot of money with good luck, but with bad luck, it was common to lose everything overnight.

But Little Tiangao had finally found a hobby, though this hobby... could be quite costly. However, she was his only Little Tiangao, and the money he earned was there for her to spend!

Worst case, he would just regularly check the balance; if she lost too much or if things went back to square one overnight, he could use this incident as a learning experience to have a serious talk with Little Tiangao. He’d tell her not to touch that stuff again.

In the end, Xia Xing insisted on taking Xia Ye to school. Driving down the road, he steered with one hand, the cool breeze brushing his face. Thinking of the balance in the card, he couldn’t help feeling a little excited.

With that money, he could turn his "wife" into the world’s top-notch sports car.

But he quickly shook his head.

No, this money was saved for Little Tiangao to buy her life lessons with!

At the intersection, the traffic light turned red, and the car stopped.

Xia Xing rested his hand on the steering wheel, turned his face towards Xia Ye, "Little Tiangao, how about I take you to my club tonight to have some fun?"

He wanted to help Little Tiangao cultivate some other interests and hobbies. Isn’t it said that gaming can be addictive?

Being addicted to gaming is surely better than being addicted to trading coins, right?

On Xia Ye’s end, she felt that Xia Xing worked so hard, getting up early and staying up late for the club’s matches and didn’t earn much. It was the first time he had invited her to visit his place and if she didn’t go, he would definitely be sad.

She hesitated, "But I have evening self-study, wouldn’t it be too late?"

Xia Xing: "Not at all, not at all; it won’t be late. Our club is full of night owls."

Xia Ye composed herself, "Well, okay then."

Meanwhile, back at the Xia Family’s old house.

Wang Dahai helped the servants move the luggage into the old house.

Qiao Yufen led Xia Yourong to see the room prepared for her and raised her chin with a smile, "Xiaorong, this room faces north to south, has particularly good feng shui, and it’s quiet since it’s not near the alley. It’s suitable for your studies. The four-piece bedding set is all in gold, symbolizing my Xiaorong’s Gold List Title in the college entrance exams! How about it? Does the room grandma reserved for you compare well to Xia Family’s villa?"

Xia Yourong glanced at the old and tacky decorations filling the room, with a Large Golden Buddha standing by the door, feeling extremely suffocated.

The thought of living here from now on nearly drove her insane.

She forced a smile, "Yes, grandma... it’s so beautiful..."

Qiao Yufen glanced at the time, "Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s have the driver take you to school."

At those words, Xia Yourong suddenly stiffened.

She had just remembered that her family didn’t yet know that she had been asked to leave school...

Qiao Yufen instructed Wang Dahai, "Stop helping here with the moving and go prepare the car. Don’t delay my granddaughter from going to school. Nothing is more important than my granddaughter’s education!"

After sending Wang Dahai away, Qiao Yufen continued to recite her admonitions to the busy servants, "Let them treat that Xia Ye like a treasure. What’s the most important thing for a student at school? Grades are the most important! What’s wrong with making a minor mistake or two? Making a mountain out of a molehill! In a couple of days when the commotion dies down, my Xiaorong will still be the model student of the entire school!"

The more Qiao Yufen spoke like this, the uglier Xia Yourong’s expression became.

Already advised to leave, what school was there to attend?

Xia Yourong clenched her hand; she couldn’t hide this sooner or later, and besides, she still needed to ask her grandma to find her a good school that was not inferior to First Middle School...

With that in mind, she gritted her teeth and, bracing herself, told Qiao Yufen about it.

A minute later—

"What?!"

Qiao Yufen, who had been so proud a moment before thinking she had backed the winning horse, could no longer laugh.

Her eyes bulged, "You’ve been asked to leave school? Has your principal gone mad? Such a good student like you and they’re letting you leave?"

Xia Yourong bit her lip and didn’t speak.

Although Qiao Yufen couldn’t fathom it, she knew how stubborn Principal Tian of First Middle School could be. Now that it was said and done, there was certainly no turning back.

Gone was her earlier arrogance, and instead, Qiao Yufen truly felt the sensation of being humiliated and chased back to the old house...

She rolled her eyes in anger and collapsed onto the bed with the ironic "Gold List Title" inscribed on it...

Today’s lunch at First Middle School brought a surprise to the students—they found a new dish on the menu: Thai Lemon Chicken!

The news about Xia Yourong had caused an uproar in the school yesterday, but today, with her absence, all the students’ attention was focused on the excellent dishes in the canteen.

It would be yet another blow if Xia Yourong knew about this.

Previously, she had been held too high by a few supporters. In reality, her status in the minds of the students wasn’t as important as she had imagined.

At the moment, Xia Ye, Tang Tianjiao, and Zhou Yao, the family of three, were eating together in the canteen.

Xia Ye was focused on deconstructing the chicken. He had only thought of this dish after school the previous evening, and to his surprise, the canteen had it today.

This kind of telepathy with the school canteen felt really good.

Tang Tianjiao glanced at Xia Ye’s plate, filled with Thai Lemon Chicken, Sichuan Spicy Chicken, Kung Pao Chicken, and the mountain of rice.

He couldn’t help remarking, "Ye, you really are a chicken’s bane!"

Xia Ye just laughed, keeping a low profile.

As the two shared a laugh, Zhou Yao suddenly put down her chopsticks, acting all mysterious, and took out two things from her pocket...
