“What happened? What’s all the noise about? !” Lin Guofu heard Wang Cui’s painful howl and went upstairs.

Li Suying glared at Xiaqing. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Ah-Cui came to clean up Qing Qing’s room and accidentally fell. Qing Qing, were you scared?”

Although she said that she was concerned, her eyes were full of warning.

“Yes.” Xiaqing lowered her head and agreed.

Lin Guofu disliked Xiaqing being like this the most, but when he saw his daughter who made herself look like this because she was afraid that he would be sad, he uncharacteristically didn’t lose his temper. “Go and eat after you’re done.”

“I’ll be done soon,” Li Suying replied.

Xiaqing suppressed the displeasure in her eyes and went forward to gently hold her father’s lapels. “Dad, I lost my wallet. If it wasn’t for Young Master Pei today…”

“Young Master Peiwill be your brother-in-law in the future. He should have helped you.” Before Lin Guofu could speak, Li Suying hurriedly said.

“But what if I don’t have the money to pay for the taxi fare next time? I know I’m already a university student and shouldn’t always ask for money from my family, but I eat a lot…” Xiaqing changed the topic awkwardly, “What if I don’t meet Young Master Pei next time and someone else doesn’t help me?”

Lin Guofu thought that what Li Suying said made sense. He had thought if she lost her card, it was no big deal because she could just get another one. However, after hearing Xiaqing’s words, his face immediately darkened. “You are the Young Madam of the Lin family. How can you go out to borrow money?”

After saying that, he looked at Li Suying with a gloomy expression. Usually, Li Suying was in charge of Xiaqing’s living expenses. Although Xiaqing didn’t say it explicitly, from her words, it could be seen that her expenses weren’t enough.

Li Suying secretly gritted her teeth. This damn fatty, was she doing it on purpose? “Hubby, this is my fault. Qingqing is a big girl and her expenses aren’t what they used to be. I’ll get someone to replenish her phone and card, then add another ten thousand to her living expenses every month. What do you think?”

Lin Guofu nodded after hearing that.

Xiaqing secretly scolded her for being an old fox. Her voice was filled with self-blame as she said, “Dad, there’s no need to add more. Don’t blame Auntie. I’ll eat less in the future.”

Lin Guofu, who was nodding his head, was displeased. She was just a fat girl, so how much food could she eat? It wasn’t like their Lin family couldn’t afford it! If outsiders knew about this, how could he, Lin Guofu, suffer the humiliation?

“Add 20,000 more. I’ll get someone to make it up to her later.” Lin Guofu made the final decision.

The corners of Xiaqing’s lips curled up into a smile. When she saw Wang Cui, who had climbed up from the side, she quickly went forward and held Wang Cui. Her chubby hand accidentally pinched the place on Wang Cui’s wrist. “Auntie Cui, please slow down.”

“Ah, you slut!”

“Auntie Cui, I. . . I didn’t do it on purpose…” At that moment, Xiaqing’s face was full of tears.

She appeared extremely wronged.

Lin Guofu hadn’t gone far when he heard Wang Cui calling her a sl*t. He immediately became angry. He turned around and rushed over to kick Wang Cui. “Who are you scolding?”

No matter how much he hated Xiaqing as his daughter, she was still his biological daughter. She hadn’t fallen to the point of being bullied by the servants. From Qing Qing’s reaction just now, it was probably not the first time this old woman had abused her!

“Ah… Master…” Before Wang Cui could recover from the pain in her wrist, she fell to the ground again. Facing the furious Lin Guofu, she lost her previous arrogance and called him Master timidly. She even forcibly endured the intense pain on her body.

“Is this how you usually treat Qing Qing?” Lin Guofu’s well-maintained middle-aged face was full of suspicion.

How could she bully Qing Qing like this right in front of him? Who knew what she did behind his back? No wonder she treated Qing Qing like a beggar today.

“I. . . I didn’t… Master, it’s a misunderstanding!”

“Get lost!”

“Guofu, don’t be angry. Ah-Cui isn’t like this usually. It was because Qing Qing broke her wrist when she dragged her in and caused her to fall a little harder just now. That’s why she couldn’t control her words.” Li Suying rushed forward and patted Lin Guofu’s back gently. She helped him calm down.

After saying that, she shook Lin Guofu’s palm and comforted him coquettishly, “Ah-Cui has been with the Lin family for so many years. Don’t you know how she is? If worst comes to worst, I’ll just send her to the company to be a logistics officer. You also know that Ah-Cui is a relative of my aunt’s family…”

“Hmph, don’t let me see that old hag again.”

Lin Guofu turned around and left. Li Suying gave Wang Cui a look and quickly followed Lin Guofu. “Hubby, I’ll cook your favorite Dongpo pork for you later. Don’t be so angry since it’s bad for your health…”

Xiaqing looked at Lin Guofu’s departing figure and smiled mockingly. This father indeed wasn’t decent. Li Suying could make him abandon his humiliated daughter with just a few words.

Hehe.

Fortunately, it wasn’t completely fruitless. For the time being, her finances were no longer under the control of Li Suying and her daughter.

However, that might not be the case in the future. She still had to think of a way to survive on her own.

Thinking of this, Xiaqing began to tidy up the messy room. As a doctor, she had a slight mysophobia. After an hour of tidying up, she even found an old iron box with stickers under the bed.

Xiaqing searched through the original host’s memory, but there was only a vague memory. It was left by the original host’s mother, and the original host had been hiding it all this time.

After opening it, she saw that there was an old Nokia phone and a picture of a couple.

Xiaqing charged up the phone and picked up the old, pale picture. On it, Lin Guofu was still young and could be considered tall and handsome, while the woman beside him could be said to be stunning.

Even through the photo, one could still see her unparalleled beauty, comparable to the Hong Kong stars of the 1980s and 1990s.

This was the mother of the original host?

Xiaqing looked at the face in the mirror again, put down the box in frustration, and turned her phone on.

Beep beep beep..

Just as she opened it, a few messages flooded in, all of them written, “Hello, Miss Lin. We are the Zhongxia Trust Fund. According to Madam Su Ruoya’s request, all of her shares will automatically be transferred to your name after you turn 18. Please confirm your receipt.”

Xiaqing,”…”

Shares?

Only then did Xiaqing realize that there was a black gold card under the photo. She thought about dialing it to the bank and heard a mechanical reply from the other side, “Sorry, your balance is huge and cannot be checked. Please use your ID card to go to the VIP counter of the bank to handle the business.”

Huge amount?

Xiaqing was amused. She had thought that she was a poor person, but she didn’t expect that she was a lowkey rich person.
