Zuzi looked at Gu Jingyan with a half-smile: "So in Xiao Yan’s heart, you actually really like sitting next to me."
Gu Jingyan’s face turned red, and he stiffened his expression: "I just hate sitting next to Nangong Meng!"
Next to him, Wu Minghao said sourly, "I don’t know who just now was calling her ’sister’ so affectionately!"
Gu Jingyan’s face turned red like a glowing charcoal: "There’s no affection, I was just stating a fact."
"Tsk tsk, stubborn like a dead duck."
"I said that my ideal sister is like Nuwa!"
"Tsk tsk, your brain got messed up from tomb raiding, now you’re fantasizing about Nuwa."
"You guys just don’t understand!"
Gu Jingyan pulled his hood up in frustration and stormed off.
Zuzi watched his back, resting her chin on her hand: "But the ancestor is right in front of you."
Wu Minghao leaned over: "Ancestor, ignore him. Look, the fourth mock exams are over, want to go relax a bit?"
Xi Rubao jumped over: "Where to relax? A bar? Clubbing? I like it!"
Wu Minghao waved his hand: "Xiao Jinli, you’re always thinking about playing. Our ancestor’s place to relax has to be a bit more upscale."
Wu Qianman became curious: "What kind of upscale place?"
Wu Minghao teased: "Let’s see if our little ancestor has time to go first."
Zuzi, with nothing else to do, nodded: "Sure."
The group followed Wu Minghao’s car to their destination.
Wu Qianman: "Where is this?"
Xi Rubao: "This... the stock exchange? What are we doing here?"
Wu Minghao rubbed his hands: "Little ancestor, need any money lately? Let’s go in and have some fun."
Zuzi smiled: "Lately, no need."
Xiao Sha had already stopped Xi Yuanshan’s treatment fees, the jewelry was saved, she had no reason to make money.
Wu Minghao’s face fell: "Oh, ancestor..."
Wu Qianman said disdainfully: "It’s you who needs money, right? Mouse?"
Wu Minghao pursed his lips, hesitating for a long time before finally speaking the truth: "Little ancestor, those two days when you left Qingcheng last time, didn’t you give us some tasks before leaving? You told Wu Qianman to memorize the test papers if she wants full marks in English, and told me to go home and tell my dad to quit drinking, not to drink anymore. I remembered it, but my dad didn’t listen, he drank with his shady friends until midnight last night, and then drove drunk and got into an accident, hitting someone. Now he’s being held in detention, and a million bail is needed to get him out."
Wu Qianman sighed: "Not listening to Zuzi, see, this is the result."
Wu Minghao: "You guys know my family does business, all the money is tied up in business, it’s hard to get cash quickly. My dad’s shady friends also got detained, my mom can’t find anyone to borrow money from, I thought the little ancestor took me to play stocks last time, there’s still some money in the stock account, and I was thinking of taking it out as emergency..."
"And then?" Wu Qianman and Xi Rubao were curious.
Wu Minghao burst into tears: "Then I found out that the stock I picked, hit a limit down..."
Wu Qianman and Xi Rubao: "..." Such an unlucky kid.
"Ancestor, I’m begging you to help me pick another stock, okay? If this time I can get my dad out, my mom and I will definitely supervise him to quit drinking every day, and also make him break off with those shady friends who only know how to persuade him to drink!"
Wu Minghao clenched his fists and vowed, unable to stop himself from adding, "Alcohol really is a harmful thing!"
