Chapter 198: Determined Investment
Today, they didnât go out to sea. Instead, they sat on the front porch eating watermelon. Sitting in a row starting with Zhang ZhengXiong, then Ye Cang, Lin Le, Ye Tian, everyone who walked would stare foolishlyâŠ
âIâm so boredâŠâ Lin Le said lazily while swinging his legs.
âYeahâŠâ Ye Cang spat out a seed.
âItâs alrightâŠâ Zhang ZhengXiong said, staring at the women walking by.
Little Ye Tian was just silently eating her watermelon.
The four of them didnât speak for a while, just eating and staring, lost in thoughtâŠ
âLittle Tian, help me scratch my backâŠâ Lin Le said, turning around. Little Ye Tian reached out and helped him scratch.
âBro, help me massage my shoulders⊠Ow! Ow ow! Itâs gonna snap! Bro! Gentler!!â Zhang ZhengXiong cried out.
âŠ
The capital, Vermillion Bird district, in some villa.
âFather, your Iâm taking your secret stash of money, itâs an emergency!â ThornyRose said as she tried to tear the credit card away from her father, Qin San.
âNoo! You unfilial daughter! This is the money your father painstakingly hid from your mother! It wasnât easy, itâs my lifeâs work!!â Qin San shouted.
âIf you donât give it to me, Iâll go tell mother. Otherwise, invest it in me, you might even make a profit. Itâs better than directly letting mother confiscate it. Choose!â ThornyRoseâs said.
Her words stunned her father, âYou ingrate, I suffered so much to raise you. Yet you⊠youâŠâŠâ
âMaster, Miss, the Madam has returnedâŠâ The butler knocked from outside the door and warned them.
âYou win!â Qin San said, reluctantly letting go. Hearing footsteps, he quickly sat up. âZhenâer, father can only give you ideas, youâll have to think about it yourself.â
âI know, FatherâŠâ ThornyRose immediately put on a respectful expression.
âWhat are you two consulting about?â A beauty that resembled ThornyRose entered their sight. If they were to stand together, others would think they were a pair of sisters.
âSome business related thingsâŠâ Qin San explained, then turned to give his daughter a meaningful glance.
Hurry and get out of hereâŠ
ThornyRose was about to leave, when her mother suddenly smiled, âWait, earlier I took a walk around the yard, and ran into your cousin. He said you have a sweetheart now, his ID was something like PaleSnow. But most importantly, heâs a man! Oh thank you great ancestors. Hah~ I was afraid I wouldnât be able to see my grandchildren. That Icy is not bad. I donât care if you two are in love and vowed to be together forever or whatever, but to go any further is unethical⊠Not saying that Iâm against lesbians, but our family still needs a successor⊠Zhenâer, you should understand me and your fatherâs pain. Find some time and bring him over. Family background and whatever, I wonât care at all. As long as you like him, heâs healthy, and most importantly, heâs a male, then Iâll be grateful.â
ThornyRose immediately broke out in cold sweat.
So youâve been looking at your daughter like that this whole time. What do you mean as long as I like them and itâs a male. The rumors about me and Icy sure spread far, so strange. Vowing to be together forever!? Where did you hear that!
Looking at mother Qinâs resolute expression, ThornyRose almost choked. âUmmm, mother. Icy and IâŠâ
âItâs alright, you donât have to say it, but you still have to know when to let go. I want to see him by the end of next week, otherwiseâŠâ Mother Qinâs smile became more gentle. ThornyRose could feel her back becoming drenched in sweat. She knew clearly how twisted this woman in front of her was. It had been ingrained into her since she was young. âIâll be leaving firstâŠâ
Father Qin quickly followed her out, and pulled her to the side. âHaha~ Good girl. Zhenâer, youâve finally grown up. Just consider the money a gift. Donât worry about Icy, sheâll understand. Later Iâll pay a visit to the Su family, and have a chat with Old Su, tell him to comfort little Icy a bit. Old Su will definitely be very happy about the news. Hah~ Every time we went to drink, heâd get depressed about the relationship between you twoâŠâ
âUmmm, father. I was actually picked up from somewhere and adopted by you and mother, rightâŠâ ThornyRose wasnât sure how to respond, so she just asked expressionlessly.
âYou!! You found out? Hah~ We were going to wait till you were a bit older to tell youâŠâ Father Qin sighed, looking like he was about to cry. He then perked up, âHaha~ girl, bet I scared youâŠâ
ââŠâŠâ ThornyRose rolled her eyes, speechless.
Iâm already 26! Can you stop messing around!?
âDonât feel like talking to youâŠâ
ThornyRose walked to a separate courtyard, and pulled out her cellphone. She gnashed her teeth as she looked at CloudDragonâs number.
This damn bastard. But how in the world did the rumor about me and Icy spread? Whoever it was, they better not let me find them!!
ElegantFragrance, who was taking a stroll, suddenly sneezed. âWhoâs talking about meâŠ?â
ThornyRose worked for the entire night. Those S class characters were hard enough to get, let alone ones that suited those three. After a round of filtering, she sighed, then looked again at CloudDragonâs number.
Itâs worth a try.
âLetâs talk businessâŠâ
âSuch as?â CloudDragon asked doubtfully.
âTransfer of S rank charactersâŠâ ThornyRose knew CloudDragonâs temperament. This guy hated the pleasantries.
âReason? Given Thorns and Rosesâs athletes, even with S rank characters, it wonât make much difference. Rather than spending money on characters, youâd do better to try and poach some players from other teamsâŠâ
âPaleSnow, Shaking Bear, Lele, and the little girl formally joined Thorns and Rosesâs club.â ThornyRose said. CloudDragon was silent for a moment. âAnd?â
âTelling you this wonât hurt. PaleSnow used the Storm Fencer and killed both ElegantFragrance and FrozenBloodâŠâ ThornyRoseâs words made CloudDragon rather excited. The difficulty of using an A rank character to kill two S ranked characters was fairly high. FrozenBlood and ElegantFragrance could be considered decent. Interesting. âGive me all the recording from your training. I can give you 1 characters, but youâll have to do something about the other two yourself.â
ThornyRose hesitated, then clenched her teeth and sent all the recordings over. âOk⊠The specifics?â
âI canât offer you any well known characters. I can only afford to give up either the Blade Demoness or the Undead Shaman. Think over it for a bitâŠâ As soon as he finished speaking, he ended the call and began to watch the recordings.
ThornyRose sighed. This matter was too difficult for her. Neither of the characters were considered high tier, and were also not too popular. In the end, she decided on the Blade Demoness. After going through the procedures, she watched as the money she had just procured drop by a quarter. 10 billion federal dollars were transferred away just like that, making her laugh bitterly. This was only the start. Hopefully things would go as she wantedâŠ
