On her way to bring Su Yutong a meal, Su Zihan came up with a plan to rein in her younger sisters' spending.
Then she sent a message in the Beauty Group.
Su Zihan: "@Everyone, Dad made 160,000 yuan on stocks today and gave the five of us another 50,000 yuan in pocket money—10,000 each."
More than 150,000 was 160,000. Close enough~
Su Youyu: "Wowwww!!!! Dad is amazing! Dad is mighty! Dad is so powerful! Big sis, send the money~~~"
Su Yutong: "I want to buy an Alienware computer!"
Su Kexin: "I want to buy a Wacom digital pen display! It's a great tool for drawing. Big sis, send the money~~"
"Dad is mighty~~"
Su Yinuo: "Big sis, send the money."
Su Zihan: "Send me a separate list of what you want to buy. You can't spend more than 10,000 yuan."
Su Youyu: "Wow, Big Sis is being so generous this time. It's like she's become a different person."
"I love this version of Big Sis."
"I'll make my list right away."
"I want to buy a computer too."
Her younger sisters started messaging Su Zihan privately one after another.
They sent her everything they'd added to their shopping carts—the things they could browse for free every day but had never been able to pay for—all in one big rush.
They all wanted to buy a laptop.
Su Yutong only wanted a 10,000-yuan Alienware laptop.
Su Kexin wanted a 3,999-yuan laptop and a 5,999-yuan digital pen display. She wasn't going to let the remaining two yuan go to waste, either—she wanted to buy a 2B pencil.
Su Youyu chose a 6,888-yuan Apple laptop and a 3,200-yuan Apple iPad. She'd gone 88 yuan over budget, but said to take it out of her living expenses next time.
Su Yinuo wanted a 10,000-yuan Alienware laptop.
Looking at the shopping lists, Su Zihan let out a helpless sigh.
She knew it. Give her younger sisters money to spend, and they'd drain every last cent of 10,000 yuan in less than a day.
She'd have to spend some time chatting with customer service later, to see if she could get the prices lowered or find places to claim discount coupons and the like.
She'd save whatever she could.
As for herself, she thought it'd be enough to go straight to a computer mall and buy a custom-built desktop.
For 3,999 yuan, she could get a computer with great specs.
But then she remembered Dad had told her to spend the whole 10,000 yuan.
After thinking it over, she decided to buy a desktop and a laptop.
Since she was studying computer science, she needed a lot of memory to run many of her programs, so a desktop would be better.
But at school, or when she went out to take part in academic exchanges, a desktop would be too bulky and inconvenient to carry.
She'd better get a laptop as a backup.
Since she had to spend all 10,000 yuan, she'd build an insanely powerful desktop, and just pick up some laptop for a little over 2,000 yuan.
The money had to be spent where it counted.
After all, she'd spend most of her time at home studying on the desktop.
After noting down what her younger sisters wanted to buy, Su Zihan called Su Yinuo.
Su Yinuo had just gotten back to her school when she saw Big Sis calling.
She hesitated for a moment, then closed her eyes and answered.
She knew she couldn't hide the fact that Dad had mistaken her for Big Sis today.
Big Sis could scold her all she wanted~~
She'd already had her fun.
She was mentally prepared for Big Sis to chew her out. But the moment she answered, Big Sis asked if she wanted to have dinner at Dad's place that night.
She was completely stunned.
"Yinuo, Dad just said we're having a seafood feast tonight. There'll be Australian lobster weighing a pound or two, super-fat king crab, and your favorite clams."
"If you don't come, don't complain when I post it on Moments and you see that I didn't invite you."
"Actually, it'd be better if you didn't come. Then I won't have to share the food with you~"
"Or are you afraid to see Dad?"
Su Yinuo immediately raised her eyebrows and said fearlessly, "Afraid? The word 'afraid' isn't in Su Yinuo's dictionary!"
"It's just dinner. What's there to be afraid of?"
"Save me a seat!"
Hearing Su Yinuo, Su Zihan held back a laugh on the other end of the phone. "All right, I'll send you Dad's address. Come over after your second afternoon class."
"Okay."
"By the way, Yinuo, why were you wearing the same clothes as me today? That's not your style. Were you trying to make a good impression on Dad?" Su Zihan asked with a laugh.
At those words, Su Yinuo's little face flushed bright red. She felt awkward, as if Big Sis had seen right through her.
She immediately said, "Huh? What are you saying? I can't hear you."
"Big Sis, the signal's bad here."
"I can't hear you, so I'm hanging up."
"See you tonight."
With that, Su Yinuo hurriedly hung up.
Then she let out a long breath. "Phew..."
"Big Sis made fun of me."
"I hope the other three don't find out."
"Or I'll be so embarrassed."
Thinking of this, Su Yinuo sent Su Zihan another message: "Don't tell Kexin, Yutong, or Youyu what happened today."
"I won't tell Mom that you and Dad are living together."
Su Zihan: "Okay. 😜"
Looking at that emoji, Su Yinuo could practically picture Su Zihan grinning mischievously on the other side of the screen.
Whatever~
Right now, she should be thinking about what to wear when she went to Dad's place that evening.
She was a little conflicted~
Dad must have figured out that she was the punk-styled girl he'd run into yesterday and this morning.
He also knew she'd tricked him today...
When Dad had mistaken her for Big Sis, she could have told him she was the second daughter.
But she hadn't.
Tonight, she'd dress the way she always did. Otherwise, Dad might think his daughter was putting on an act.
That wouldn't do.
She'd be her truest self in front of Dad.
She was Su Yinuo, just Su Yinuo—a firework unlike any other.
Yes, that was what she'd do.
Once she'd made up her mind, Su Yinuo felt completely at ease, light and comfortable~
She couldn't wait for tonight's seafood feast~
This would be the first time she'd properly met Dad, in the truest sense of the word.
A word from Little Sis—
All you handsome guys, could you give me some recommendation tickets and a five-star rating~~~
