Chapter 38: Celebrating Dinner

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Around half past five in the afternoon.

Due to the ‘beast’ that appeared a few days ago, the school hours at Star City Third High ended a little early. At half past five, the students began to walk out of the school gates.

“Stop, this is a robbery.”

The fierce voice behind her made Tang Youxin stop in her tracks.

“I can tell.”

Tang Youxin turned around and said softly.

“That’s so disappointing. I feel that you are more adorable when you are shy and afraid.”

Xia Xu chuckled and walked out from behind. As he walked beside her, he said, “Let’s go eat.”

“Eat? I… I want to eat at home.”

Tang Youxin lowered her head, twisted her fingers, and bit her lower lip.

“Hey, come on, Old Yang and his wife and child are going too, I’m not inviting you alone.”

Xia Xu knew that she was shy, so he didn’t give her a chance to refuse. This hesitant look was the best answer.

After changing from two choices to one, Tang Youxin no longer hesitated. She followed Xia Xu and asked curiously, “Is today your or Uncle Yang’s birthday?”

Over the past few days, she was less introverted and timid when facing Xia Xu. In fact, as long as one was not really autistic, most people could still communicate normally with their acquaintances.

When she spoke normally, her voice was soft, with a kind of gentleness that was neither too fast nor too slow. It complemented her appearance and made her look very obedient.

“No, it’s a celebration party. We made a lot of money today.”

Xia Xu grinned. “Guess how much we made?”

“One hundred thousand?”

Tang Youxin hesitated for a moment before tentatively estimating the largest number.

Normally speaking, a high school student couldn’t earn ten thousand a month, let alone a hundred thousand a day in a day. Even adults would find it hard to get a job that pays more than ten thousand every month.

“You’re underestimating me. Maybe ten times more?”

Xia Xu said with a smile.

After becoming a millionaire, he even felt like he was floating as he walked.

Although he did not do badly in his previous life, he did not have millions of cash savings in his bank account.

But now, he only took two weeks to earn it!

“One… one million?”

Tang Youxin’s eyes widened when she heard him.

“That’s right, it’s one million, so let’s eat as much as we can today.”

Xia Xu laughed and was satisfied with his show off.

Everyone had a need to share and show off their performances, and he was no exception. As long as he didn’t do something embarrassing, it was reasonable to find an opportunity to show off to someone he knew.

After thinking about it, he realized that the only person he could brag to was the little white flower.

After all, he had no relatives or friends. After excluding those classmates who were not close or distant, the only people he knew well were Tang Youxin and Yang Bowen. The latter already knew so the only person who he could share his feelings, or let him act cool, was Tang Youxin.

However, although there were few people, they were very ‘perfect’. The little white flower’s shocked look gave him great satisfaction.

“How did you earn it?”

After getting an affirmative answer from Xia Xu and seeing Xia Xu’s smug look, Tang Youxin felt dizzy.

Last time she heard Xia Xu say that he had made sixty thousand yuan, it was already hard to imagine, but this time it was more than ten times more.

She didn’t know if she could ever see so much money in her life.

Uwu, money, so much money. When will I be able to earn as much money as Xia Xu? No, as long as I have 1% of Xia Xu’s money making ability, I will be satisfied.

“Haha, I’ll tell you later. Old Yang and the others should have already arrived and are waiting. Let’s go over first.”

Xia Xu smiled and brought her to the intersection. He hailed a taxi and went to the restaurant.

This was a high-end restaurant, one of the top private restaurants in Star City.

“Boss, this is my son, Yang Xiaoyong.”

Yang Bowen had already brought his son to the reserved room ahead of time. As soon as he saw Xia Xu and Tang Youxin come in, he got up and greeted them while introducing his son.

“Didn’t your wife come?”

Xia Xu and Tang Youxin played with Yang Bowen’s five-year-old son. They looked around at the same time, but they did not see anyone else.

“She came, she had just gone to the washroom.”

Yang Bowen said as his wife pushed the door and walked in.

A rather ordinary middle-aged woman that seemed a little uncomfortable walked in. She just glanced at Xia Xu and the others in surprise. She greeted them according to Yang Bowen’s introduction and sat down quietly. There were no signs of her nagging that Yang Bowen constantly complained about.

Because there were people who were unfamiliar with each other, the atmosphere was not too enthusiastic at first, but as the waiter served exquisite dishes and drinks, the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

After a few mouthfuls of food and alcohol, Yang Bowen, who was good at socializing, easily brought up the topic and atmosphere. Coincidentally, Tang Youxin asked about today’s incident out of curiosity, and he began to brag about how Xia Xu carefully investigated, saw through the scammer, picked up a bargain from the antiques, and captured the fugitive.

Of course, there was some artistic processing involved. On the surface, he was bragging about Xia Xu, but in fact, he was vaguely emphasizing his ‘contribution’ and participation. Every time he finished speaking, he would glance at his wife and son.

‘No wonder he wanted his wife and child to come. He just wants to brag.’*

Xia Xu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

But it seemed that he had no right to say anything. His behavior just now was exactly the same as Yang Bowen’s.

“You made a million just like that?”

Today’s experience was obviously much more exciting after Yang Bowen’s ‘artistic processing’. After hearing the story, the little white flower’s eyes were bright, and her face was red, as if she was excited by this legendary story.

Yang Bowen’s son looked at Xia Xu with admiration and curiosity. After learning that his father was also a ‘detective ‘, he surrounded Yang Bowen and complained that he wanted to be a detective elementary school student.

Unfortunately, his parents surprisingly had the same choice when facing this situation: they would persuade him to study hard so that he could do whatever he wanted.

But Xia Xu was felt helpless by Yang Xiaoyong’s pitiful look. He pulled him over and whispered to him.

“Dad, I want to go to the amusement park!”

Yang Xiaoyong changed his words and changed his conditions.

“Okay, I’ll take you there tomorrow.”

Zhou Shuren was right. When others refused your request to push down the house, they would usually not refuse your request to open the windows. Yang Bowen and his wife agreed readily.

However, Yang Xiaoyong hugged Yang Bowen’s arm and continued to beg. “No, I want to go now.”

Yang Bowen’s wife said, “Look at you, it’s almost 6 pm. Which amusement park is still open and even if they are, they are probably about to close.”

“I remember that the Star City Amusement Park is not far from here. It’s only 6 pm. It might not even be dark after playing for some time. Moreover, they also operate at night, but there are just fewer available facilities.”

Xia Xu stepped forward to mediate the situation, while Yang Xiaoyong cleverly winked at Xia Xu..
