Chapter 411: Chapter 411 The Ones with Vested Interests Chapter 411: Chapter 411 The Ones with Vested Interests “So, where did you guys get the money to buy the house?” Even outside the fifth ring of Jing City, it would cost several tens of thousands per square meter.
Thinking of a possibility, Shen Zhaozhao couldn’t help but feel a “thump” in her heart, and she widened her eyes and stared at both of them, “You two didn’t embezzle public funds, did you?”
Her mother was an accountant who had more opportunities to be in contact with the Company’s finances. Although Zhaozhao felt her mother didn’t have the guts to do that, what if she did?
Otherwise, how could her parents’ salaries ever afford a house in Jing City?
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Zhaozhao’s mother lifted her hand and slapped her daughter lightly.
This was something to spout nonsense about?
Shen Zhaozhao, covering the place where it hurt from being hit, said, “I’m just worried about you. Where did you get the money from, then?”
Zhaozhao’s mother didn’t want to talk to her, glanced at Daddy Zhaozhao, and said, “You tell her.”
Daddy Zhaozhao laughed and said, “Do you remember when you were a kid, there was a time when you clamored for an ice lolly and your dad didn’t have any change, so he bought a lottery ticket at the lottery station next to the store?”
She didn’t quite remember this incident; as a child, she always pestered her dad to buy her snacks.
But she understood what her dad meant.
Shen Zhaozhao’s eyes lit up, “Are you saying that the lottery ticket you bought won?”
Daddy Zhaozhao nodded, his face flushed with happiness.
“How much did you win?” Shen Zhaozhao asked, trying to contain her excitement.
Daddy Zhaozhao held up one hand.
“Fifty million?” Shen Zhaozhao’s eyes widened.
“Cough, five million.” Daddy Zhaozhao coughed lightly and corrected her.
That was still pretty good.
She never expected their family to have such good luck!
At that time, the couple had no idea what to do with the money, so they gave it to Mr. Sheng to help with the investment.
Mr. Sheng invested part of it in his own Company, and they received dividends from it every year. He also used the remaining finances to help them invest in two properties. Mr. Sheng had a good eye; his Company was prospering, and the dividends they received each year were quite substantial. Plus, with the passing years, the value of the properties had increased several times over, and the original sum of money had multiplied several times as well.
Recently, the couple sold the two properties Mr. Sheng had helped them invest in and, combined with their savings over the years, planned to buy a new house in Jing City for Zhaozhao as a marriage dowry.
Turns out she was a hidden rich second generation?
“So, with our family being so wealthy, you only give me two thousand yuan for living expenses every month?” and they still reminded her to spend it frugally.
Zhaozhao’s mother looked at her with an expression that said “don’t be ungrateful” and spoke, “Two thousand yuan isn’t a small amount. Your dad only gets eight hundred for his monthly pocket money.”
Before, she also thought it was enough, but that’s because she didn’t know her family had so much money.
With her worth, shouldn’t her living expenses be raised a bit?
“Don’t even think about it!” Zhaozhao’s mother saw through her thoughts instantly and said, “You don’t want the house anymore? Should we not prepare your dowry?”
Of course, she wanted the house, but there was no rush for the dowry.
“But, since it’s for buying me a house, shouldn’t I be the one to look at it?” From the way they were acting, it seemed they didn’t plan to ask for her opinion?
Zhaozhao’s mother gave her a look and said, “What do you know, you’re just a kid? You’re getting a house and you still want to pick and choose?”
“Have you forgotten? The house you’re buying is my dowry?” She was almost of the age to get married, still being treated like a child–wasn’t that unreasonable?
Seeing that Zhaozhao’s mother was glaring at her again, Shen Zhaozhao wisely shut her mouth.
Forget it. It’s better for her, a beneficiary, to learn to keep quiet.
