After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God-Chapter 768 - : The Relationship Between Duke of Muston and Si Fuqing (2)

Chapter 768: The Relationship Between Duke of Muston and Si Fuqing (2)

Raphael’s departing figure exuded an unmistakable aura of “I have money to burn.”

Si Fuqing was speechless.

Her fist tightened.

When will I ever be able to throw money around like that?

After Raphael left with the head guard and the LI family’s people, Si Fuqing had no choice but to pick up the box of gold bars from the ground.

Little Bai, having already smelled the gold, struggled to jump out of her pocket, but she pressed it back down with one hand.

Little Bai’s eyes filled with tears.

Feeling a bit sorry for it, Si Fuqing tossed five gold bars its way.

In an instant, the five gold bars were gone.

“…”

Great.

This gold-devouring beast lives up to its name.

Holding Little Bai firmly, Si Fuqing sent Ning Zhi a message to let her know she was safe, then hopped on a shared bike to meet up with Yuejian.

“Third senior sister, I met sixth senior brother,” she said.

Yuejian’s expression froze, “Did you recognize each other?”

Sixth junior brother actually got a point before second senior brother?

“No.” Si Fuqing slowly replied, “He didn’t say much, just threw a bunch of gold bars at me.”

“…”

Yuejian was speechless too.

She still couldn’t quite understand how someone with sixth junior brother’s intelligence could be rated as the world’s most desired bachelor.

How did he make money with such spending habits?

“But I did get some information,” Si Fuqing said, raising an eyebrow. “Sixth senior brother mentioned that the person who controls eight of the Free State’s major mineral veins is in the Great Xia Empire.”

Yuejian’s eyes narrowed at this.

The Free State had ten major mineral veins in total.

Gold wasn’t counted among them; it was the lowest tier.

Even a small piece of top-tier mineral was enough to make one wealthy.

To control eight major veins meant wealth beyond imagination.

However, this person was extremely mysterious and had never shown his face. Not even T18 could find any information about him.

He controlled the economic lifeline of the Free State.

“We should investigate this,” Si Fuqing suggested. “Maybe we can make a good profit.”

Yuejian nodded, “Alright, this information seems credible. I’ll contact second senior brother.”

Since sixth junior brother hadn’t moved up yet in points, she needed to figure out a way to get second senior brother to Great Xia without attracting attention.

“I’m heading home now,” Si Fuqing said, carrying the gold. “Third senior sister, contact me if you need anything.”

Yuejian patted her head, her red lips curling into a smile, “Go ahead.”

She watched Si Fuqing leave thoughtfully, then leisurely opened her phone to post on her social media.

[Met a wealthy fan today, got a hundred gold bars.]

Yuejian had few friends on this account.

Feng San and Xi Jiang were among them.

Feng San, spotting the box of gold bars, quickly reported to Yu Xiheng, “Brother Nine, you have to see this!”

Yu Xiheng glanced at it, his emotions showed indifference, “A wealthy fan?”

“He must have ulterior motives towards Miss Si, trying to buy her off with money,” Xi Jiang exclaimed loudly, “Brother Nine, you must outspend them! He gives a hundred bars, we give five hundred!”

Yu Xiheng sipped his tea calmly, “You’ve made some progress.”

Xi Jiang understood, “I’ll go get Miss Si some gold bars!”

He hoped Miss Si would share a piece with him.

Feng San gave Xi Jiang a pitying look, understanding his thoughts.

Getting money from Miss Si?

That was like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth.

Ten minutes later, Si Fuqing returned.

As she entered, she saw several boxes on the floor.

Yu Xiheng put down his teacup and smiled, “You’ve been doing well lately. This is your bonus for the month.”

Si Fuqing blinked, “Huh?”

Xi Jiang immediately opened the boxes with a flourish.

Little Bai was dazzled.

“…”

She counted and found there were five hundred and twenty gold bars in total.

What’s going on today?

Gold bar day?

“This is too much, boss. I don’t need it,” Si Fuqing declined.

Yu Xiheng replied lightly, “It’s for you, not too much.”

Si Fuqing thought for a moment, “I’ll leave the gold here with you, boss. When I’m filming, I can’t take care of Little Bai. Can you feed it for me? I earned another box of gold today, I’ll leave that here too.”

Yu Xiheng raised an eyebrow, “Leave it all with me?”

“I trust you,” Si Fuqing said earnestly. “But don’t be fooled by how cute this thing looks. You must control its gold-eating speed.” freēwēbnovel.com

Otherwise, she believed Little Bai could devour an entire gold mine without a pause.

How did she end up with such a money-draining creature?

Little Bai looked innocent.

What did she mean by not being fooled by its cute appearance?

Wasn’t it just learning from its owner?

The owner often used cuteness to get away with things, so it could too!

“Alright,” Yu Xiheng agreed, his gaze deepening, “Don’t hold back. If you need anything, let Feng San and the others know.”

“I’m easy to take care of,” Si Fuqing sat down, “I can survive on steamed buns.”

Little Bai was already eager to eat the gold.

Yu Xiheng didn’t look up, “Come back.”

Little Bai: “…”

It stared at the pile of gold, drooling.

But it couldn’t eat.

Little Bai finally realized, it wasn’t about people and dogs being different.

In Yu Xiheng’s eyes, Si Fuqing was different from everyone else.

With teary eyes, it could only savor the gold it had eaten earlier.

But no matter what, with two people providing gold for its owner, its meals would surely get better and better!

Meanwhile, at the LI family home.

The family was having dinner.

Old Master LI asked LI Yanchen about his work, satisfied with the progress.

“Yanchen is doing well,” Old Master LI said with relief. “With you inheriting the family, I can rest easy.”

Second Master LI, pleased that his son was praised this way, had another drink, feeling a bit tipsy. He couldn’t help but ask, “Dad, isn’t big brother coming home today? It’s almost the New Year.”

The atmosphere turned cold as the mood of Old Master LI seemed to dissipate a little.

Second Master LI sighed, “He should look forward, he can’t cling to false hope forever.”

His son was lost, his wife had left.

LI Yuzhi was essentially ruined.

In the LI family, being too emotional meant you wouldn’t survive.

Old Master LI frowned, his voice icy, “He told me yesterday there was news. It’s something we can’t stop.”

“News? That’s good,” Second Master LI smiled. “If my nephew returns, big brother will stop being so despondent.”

But everyone knew it was just talk. If the child could be found, he’d have returned by now.

LI Yanchen said nothing, frequently checking his phone.

But there was no message.

“Yanchen, didn’t you say you had a social event tonight?” Second Master LI asked, “Why…”

Before he could finish, the butler rushed in, panic-stricken, “Master, President LI! Something’s happened!”

The fear on his face was real.

Old Master LI and LI Yanchen immediately stood up and went outside.

Snow had fallen in the yard. LI Yanchen’s secretary and bodyguards had broken legs and damaged vocal cords, lying in the yard.

The LI family was used to doing this to others, not having it done to them.

This was a blatant provocation.

LI Yanchen’s expression darkened.

He had sent his secretary to invite Si Fuqing. How did it end up like this?

Old Master LI’s face hardened, his voice cold, “Who did this? Find out, no matter who it is, they won’t escape punishment!”

“What’s there to investigate?” Raphael walked in, handing his coat to the head guard. “Tell me how you plan to punish me.”
