Everyone Present Gets a Share

This wasn't the first time Qin Yanan had tasted Liu Chang'an's cooking. Although the dishes were all home-style and he wasn't as particular about ingredients as Qin Yanan was—he just used vegetables bought from the supermarket and didn't care about the plating or color matching—the taste still left Qin Yanan full of praise.

Zhou Dongdong's shape is not without reason.

After Qin Yanan came to Junsha, she felt that she had indeed gained some weight. It seems that she needs to exercise more. After all, once a person is over twenty-five, unless they have stomach problems or parasites, it is really rare for them to maintain their figure through their own metabolism without exercising.

Speaking of her body, Qin Yanan knew the truth: it was most likely that the mysterious coffin had caused her radiation-like mutation.

Liu Chang'an often comes into contact with this coffin; I wonder if he's mutated? Or is Zhou Dongdong's voracious appetite also due to a mutation?

Qin Yanan dared not tell Liu Chang'an about this. It was even more terrifying than sleepwalking. She didn't want to be treated like a monster, nor did she want to be studied.

After dinner, Qin Yanan took a taxi home. Because the braised beef and chicken floss had been cooked with alcohol, even if she didn't feel anything, she might not be able to tell if she was being checked for drunk driving. She wasn't the kind of fool who would shout "My dad is Qin XX" when she was being checked.

Qin Yanan's car was originally parked outside the residential area, so she asked Liu Chang'an to drive it inside and park it for her. There is a bar street in this area, and many young people come out to hang out after their nightlife. It is not uncommon for luxury cars to be scratched by bored people.

Zhou Dongdong sat under the sycamore tree, still touching her little belly, her eyes squinting, her mouth slightly open, happily contemplating what it would be like to have a baby.

Liu Chang'an remembered that pigs looked like this after they had eaten their fill.

So Liu Chang'an went to the mahjong parlor and played a couple of rounds, eager to win back the thirty yuan he had lost to Old Man Qian.

Today's luck was so-so, and there was a new face in the mahjong parlor who always liked to give others advice on how to play. Liu Chang'an wasn't annoyed or angry. He won ten yuan and then left the game. Just then, Bai Hui called.

Despite the fact that playing mahjong is an indispensable part of life, Liu Chang'an was quite familiar with Bai Hui, so he graciously answered the phone at this moment.

"I... I... Liu... Liu Chang'an... I and... I..."

"You've been kidnapped?"

"What?" Bai Hui was stunned for a moment, then stopped stuttering.

"I thought you'd struck it rich and been kidnapped, so you called for help. Speak clearly before you speak."

"I've struck it rich... I... my cousin... I'm sending you a message..."

Bai Hui could barely speak properly when Liu Chang'an's phone beeped with a message.

"I'm at the Starbucks in Baolong Center, come quick!"

Liu Chang'an thought for a moment, and since he had already finished playing, after looking at everyone else's cards and finding nothing interesting, he left the mahjong parlor and walked out of the residential area.

Liu Chang'an arrived at Starbucks and looked around before finally spotting Bai Hui, who was looking around curiously, in a corner.

Bai Hui waved her hand, looking overjoyed but also expectant of others' reactions.

"I ordered you a cup of tea." Bai Hui looked pleased. "It's just because I often get hit on, so I ordered an extra cup of tea to show that I'm waiting for someone."

Liu Chang'an drank his tea, not caring why she had ordered an extra cup.

"I'm really rich!" Bai Hui lowered her voice, then gestured excitedly as she watched Liu Chang'an's expression.

Liu Chang'an nodded and drank his tea.

Bai Hui thought Liu Chang'an didn't believe her, so she held her breath, pressed her hand to her chest to calm herself for a while, and then leaned closer to the table, placing her chest on it. She lowered her voice and said, "My cousin helped me sell the Gold Coin. Guess how much they were for?"

"I won't guess." Liu Chang'an showed no interest and drank his tea.

Even though Bai Hui was in a good mood, she felt suffocated, but she recovered quickly. She just felt that she must have been out of her mind. Such important good news, apart from her cousin who knew about it before her, she didn't even think of telling Miao Yingying. Instead, she went to find Liu Chang'an first.

"That Augustalis Gold Coin sold for 1.5 million!" Bai Hui said, feeling as if a rain of RMB was falling before her eyes, and she was being bathed in this sacred, beautiful rain that represented the highest truth in the world.

"Congratulations." Liu Chang'an continued drinking his tea.

"It's RMB! Not Zimbabwean currency!" Bai Hui excitedly grabbed Liu Chang'an's hand that was holding the teacup.

Liu Chang'an pried open Bai Hui's fingers one by one. This little girl wasn't very tall, but her fingers were quite long.

"My cousin said that if it had been sold earlier, it could have fetched more money, but it would have had to be sold quickly, and its value might have even decreased... When this type of Gold Coin first appeared, a single coin sold for a high price of ten million US dollars. However, many more of these Gold Coin have appeared since then, and with the ones at the water park this time, the total number has reached one hundred. So, this price is due to some people speculating and others gambling, believing that it's impossible for them to appear indefinitely. If the number stays around one hundred, the price might rise later."

"This news is just a publicity stunt. I think all these Gold Coin were thrown out by that blonde girl. As for how many there are, we can just ask her. If she doesn't say, then it means she might be the one hyping up these collectible coins." Liu Chang'an analyzed casually, even though he knew he was just talking off the cuff. Anyway, Bai Hui wouldn't be involved in coin speculation, and this wasn't investment advice for her.

"Never mind, I have so much money anyway..." Bai Hui carefully held her bag and whispered in Liu Chang'an's ear, "I took it..."

Liu Chang'an felt the warmth of her breath on his ear, reached out and pressed her face away, saying, "Even if you just move your mouth and lip-read, I can understand you."

Bai Hui didn't care; she really only moved her mouth slightly, after all, this was a very important matter that required utmost vigilance.

"Are you out of your mind? Why would you carry 200,000 yuan in cash on you?" Liu Chang'an shook his head. "It's heavy and inconvenient."

Bai Hui hurriedly grabbed Liu Chang'an again, nervously looking left and right, wary of any greedy eyes watching this little rich woman.

"It's okay. You see, when you're drinking coffee at Starbucks, you hear people talking about how they've raised hundreds of millions in venture capital for their startups, or how they manage funds worth billions. They all seem so relaxed and nonchalant about it," Liu Chang'an said dismissively.

"Here's cash!" Bai Hui said using lip reading.

"Do you think I'd let someone else steal you away?" Liu Chang'an scoffed, sipping his tea.

Bai Hui then realized that although she was nervous, she didn't seem to be really scared or uneasy. Liu Chang'an was indeed a boy who could give people a great sense of security. Just like in Window of the World, whether it was the lewd young man or the ghosts in the haunted house, he was always protecting the girls steadily.

Then Bai Hui spoke up, "I gave my family some money, and my cousin only accepted my 8888 yuan red envelope as a token of my appreciation. But I think everyone should have a share, so you and An Nuan, each... each... 100,000 yuan."

After saying that, Bai Hui breathed a sigh of relief, her cheeks flushed. After all, it took a long time to muster the resolve to give away so much money, and her heart was bleeding as she finished speaking.

But she still had to give them what she was owed. After all, it was Liu Chang'an and An Nuan who rescued her. Otherwise, she might have been robbed of the Gold Coin before she even had a chance to climb out. If she secretly kept it a secret, she would have to be sneaky when spending money in the future. If An Nuan and Liu Chang'an found out that she had suddenly become a little rich woman, they would definitely want more. What would they think of her then?

An Nuan was one thing, but the thought of Liu Chang'an looking at her with disdain or contempt made Bai Hui feel extremely uncomfortable.

Compared to the heartache of giving away this money, the scene itself seems to cause me even more heartache.

"No." Liu Chang'an pointed to the teacup. "You can just offer me tea. As for An Nuan, I can't agree for her. You can talk to her yourself, but I think she probably won't accept it anyway."

"Huh? How can this be?" Bai Hui looked at the thirty-yuan fruit tea. This is enough? He doesn't even want 100,000?

Liu Chang'an disliked rambling and waved his hand, preparing to go home. This matter was even more boring; he might as well go home and play a round of mahjong. Maybe his luck would turn around now, and he could crush those old men and women, leaving them utterly defeated and weeping bitterly.

Many thanks to the generous donation from the eternally foolish Zhou Dongdong, who has become the patron of this book.
