After speaking, the emperor left with his concubine, leaving behind this tragic and magnificent scene.
Some ministers left laughing, full of sarcasm, while the remaining ministers were heartbroken. One of them whispered, "Tell Shen Qingyan the truth and tell him not to return to the capital. Let him seek refuge with the one on the frontier."
This dynasty is doomed!
……
In the modern world, Gu Xixi sat in the supermarket waiting for the shop next door to count and sort the goods, while counting the string of zeros that had just arrived in her phone—a total of 3 billion. Adding to the previous 4.8 billion, she now had nearly 8 billion in liquid funds in her account.
A number that will never again cause her to worry about not having money.
Gu Xixi felt increasingly at ease and confident. It's so good to be rich.
Chu Feng reported, "The money the country owes you will be settled once, and then every six months thereafter. If you need more money in the meantime, or if you don't have enough, you can apply for a transfer at any time."
Gu Xixi nodded and hummed in agreement.
Seeing her sigh, Chen Yu laughed beside her, "What's wrong? You're not used to the life of the rich yet? You just work too much and don't have time to go out and enjoy yourself, so you can't appreciate the significance of this number. Otherwise, you definitely wouldn't have time to sigh."
"But I envy you, young master. So much money, all in cash. My family doesn't even have that much liquid capital. Now I have to call you 'rich lady sister'."
Chen Yu stared at her, deliberately showing a fawning expression, looking like a shameless Shiba Inu with a smirking expression that was both cheeky and funny.
Gu Xixi couldn't help but chuckle, rolling her eyes. "So how much wealth does your family have?"
Why would anyone envy her for being a nouveau riche? Old Chen is always so generous; he doesn't seem like someone who lacks money.
To be honest, she was also quite curious about just how rich people could be.
"Not much. The main value lies in the company my brother manages and the private museum my dad owns. His treasures combined are worth at least tens of billions, and my brother's company is worth hundreds of billions. Otherwise, how do you think I could be so wasteful?"
There are few people in this family, but a lot of money. They don't even have a sister-in-law yet. If he's also ambitious and only knows how to make money, who will he spend all that money on? Life would be meaningless.
In the past, Gu Xixi would have definitely beaten him up after hearing Versailles' words, but now, it really seems like she needs to find two money-burning projects and people to spend the money.
To be honest, she doesn't really like luxury goods; she just loves going out and having fun. But now that she can travel through three thousand worlds, she's not very interested in going to other places on Earth anymore.
Life is truly full of troubles.
"By the way, I've already investigated your alumni association. Peacock will be there too, so I suspect that kid is trying to seduce you again. Be careful and don't let him fool you."
Chen Yu gave further instructions, treating her like his own younger sister. When Xu Leyang was mentioned, he gritted his teeth.
"Okay, okay, I don't like him, he's too greasy."
Gu Xixi couldn't help but shudder at the thought, and Chen Yu's sly expression returned. "I know, you definitely like Shen Qingyan's type, the aloof and unattainable beauty, right?"
He seemed to be joking, but he also seemed to be testing the waters.
Gu Xixi's mind was immediately filled with Shen Qingyan's face. Compared to Xu Leyang, it was indeed more comfortable and relaxed to be with Shen Qingyan. Moreover, when she saw him being shy, she wanted to tease him... No, she was getting off-topic again.
At this moment, Chen Yu's expression became even more smug, and he leaned his face very close to Gu Xixi, "What did you think of? Tell me quickly, are you tempted? Are you!"
"If that's the case, then beg your wonderful system to grant Shen Qingyan the permission to travel through time, so he can marry into our China. Big woman, stop whining, if you like him, go for it and get him."
While making jokes, Chen Yu observed Gu Xixi's expression. He saw that Gu Xixi's lips were upturned and her eyes were full of affection. Chen Yu understood that she was still moved.
This is really interesting, this is going to be fun.
That sounded quite tempting, but Gu Xixi kept a straight face and pushed Chen Yu's head away. "Get lost, get lost, no chatting during work hours."
"What did you talk about?"
Xu Yue walked over from not far away, followed by Xu Yi, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Xu Yi waved enthusiastically, "Little boss, I'm finally out. Jiang Xi went to the dormitory and will be back later. We'll be protecting you for the next two months. Are you happy?"
"Happy, happy." Gu Xixi nodded, giving him face. Chen Yu immediately chimed in, "What's there to be happy about seeing you? Of course, it's seeing Shen..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Xixi immediately reached out and forcefully covered Chen Yu's mouth, warning him in a low voice, "Chen Yu, if you say another word, I'll personally beat you up and let you experience the power of military boxing."
Chen Yu laughed even harder, nodded, and taking advantage of the moment when Gu Xixi let go, brought his face closer to hers, "I'm so handsome, would you really bear to part with me? I told you, Shen Qingyan, Shen Qingyan..."
After saying that, she even winked at him.
Gu Xixi couldn't take it anymore. She grabbed Chen Yu by the collar and started beating him. Chen Yu couldn't run away and was beaten until he cried out.
Everyone around was trying not to laugh.
Xu Yi and Xu Yue exchanged a glance and took several steps back. When did Gu Xixi become so fierce? It's terrifying.
Old Chen looked out the second-floor window, laughing and nodding incessantly, "This kid has finally come to his senses."
Finally, he realized he should listen to him and seduce Gu Xixi. That's great.
After Gu Xixi finished dealing with Chen Yu, the list of supplies for the day was also released. It recorded the items received each day, their quantity, categories, and how much of it belonged to her.
Gu Xixi took the list and went straight back to the villa.
Shen Qingyan's mother has started taking the medicine she brought. She doesn't know how effective it is, so she has to go and check on her, and also see if there's anything else that needs to be bought at home.
Chu Feng was very fast; she arrived home in just one hour and took a day off.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu and Uncle and Aunt Wang were chatting and drinking tea in the courtyard where their two houses had been connected, enjoying themselves immensely. When they saw her return, they all hurriedly got up.
Gu Xixi led Chu Feng, Xu Yi, Chen Yu, and Xu Yue to sit down. Gu Xixi unceremoniously picked up the tea that her mother had just poured and drank it. "Mom and Dad, what were you talking about just now? I saw Aunt Wang wiping away tears. Now that we have a good life, why are you unhappy? Tell me, maybe I can help."
She's rich enough to solve 99% of the world's problems.
"Oh, it's nothing. Your Aunt Wang just remembered her daughter. She said that with technology so advanced now, why can't she see her own daughter? Even if it's a fake, like the daughter of a producer in those otaku games you young girls play, she would still be very happy to see her."
Gu's mother replied, shaking her head, indicating to Gu Xixi not to ask any more questions. Money can solve many problems, but the dead cannot be brought back to life... it cannot solve that.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xixi stopped drinking her tea; she knew what she was about to do!
