Chapter 16: Urban Shenhao System (16)

"Sis, is this really your car?"

On the way back to Shengshi Taoyuan, Xie Xufang felt the comfortable leather seats beneath him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"What? You don't believe me?" Xie Yang smiled at him through the rearview mirror.

One car couldn't fit everyone, so she had called an additional taxi.

Xie Xufang and the youngest in their dorm, Lao Liu, Fu Yi Ming, rode in her car, while the other four had to take the taxi.

Fu Yi Ming looked back at the taxi behind them, feeling for the first time that "being young has its perks"—if not for this, the other brothers would be squeezed into a taxi, while he could enjoy this multi-million level luxury car with the boss.

A luxury car worth millions; he might only get this experience once in his lifetime.

Xie Xufang scratched his head: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."

The gap between before and now was too vast, leaving him unable to process it all at once.

However, once they arrived at Shengshi Taoyuan, he realized:

A multi-million level luxury car is nothing! His cousin also has a villa, the king of buildings, worth one billion!!!

Then, he and his friends were settled into a guest courtyard with understated, luxurious, and exquisite decor, experiencing a dreamlike natural hot spring soak that washed away the fatigue of the day's travel.

Just as he lay down on the "Rolls-Royce" of mattresses, he suddenly heard Lao Liu give a low cry:

"Damn! Boss, your cousin is trending! Look! Is this her?"

Xie Xufang then learned: his cousin was actually the sole owner of a large residential complex about to be demolished!

At the same time, she also owned the land for an entire Snack Street worth one billion!

While he was still in a daze, he received a call from Xie Yang.

"Sis?"

Didn't they just part ways? Why call after walking just these few steps?

"Is there something urgent? Should I come over?"

"No need."

Xie Yang returned to her room and calculated her personal accounts.

After setting aside enough money for the bodyguard team and daily expenses, she thought she could still provide some help to her cousin.

"How much money does your project need?"

"Huh?"

"I can take out eight million for now, is that enough? If not, I'll transfer more to you after next month's rent comes in. Or wait a few more months, there's a demolition fee..."

"!!!"

Having regained his senses, Xie Xufang immediately bounced off the bed: "Enough, enough! It's plenty! Thank you, Sis!"

Xie Yang smiled: "Alright, then I'll transfer eight million to you first."

After hanging up, she transferred a sum of idle funds to her cousin.

Just as she was preparing to wash up and sleep, a notification popped up on her phone that someone wanted to add her as a friend, coming from the Wanhua homeowner group.

Xie Yang checked the notes column and saw it was actually Bai Xuanxuan. Why did she suddenly come to add her as a friend?

After a moment of thought, she accepted the request.

As soon as she accepted, she saw the other party call her via voice.

Only after connecting did she realize the person on the other end wasn't Bai Xuanxuan, but Bai Xuanxuan's boyfriend, Wu Tianyu.

The milky Shenhao System immediately acted as if facing a great enemy:

【Host, Host, does Xiao Hao need to activate level ten warning shielding?】

Xie Yang couldn't help but laugh: Is that really necessary?

In the original world, Wu Tianyu used the Shenhao System to devour the world's wealth step by step, eventually leading to the world's collapse, but that was based on Bai Xuanxuan obtaining the Shenhao System.

Now that the Shenhao System was bound to her, if Wu Tianyu wanted to use her, he would have to ask if she agreed.

"Miss Xie, I am Wu Tianyu. You may not have heard of my name, but you must have heard of the Gangcheng Wu Family. I am a direct descendant of the Wu family. Are you interested in investing in a Shenhao-level project?"

"No." Xie Yang refused crisply and cleanly.

"..."

Seeing this, the Shenhao System hurriedly asserted its presence:

【Host, you have me, that's enough. You don't need some nonsense Shenhao project.】

Xie Yang suppressed a smile and nodded: Right!

Wu Tianyu was rebuffed but still wouldn't give up:

"The Wanhua Residential Quarter demolition fee is at most a few billion. Don't you want to make money grow, letting it rapidly expand to ten billion, a hundred billion, or even a trillion? Don't you want to experience the thrill of having the world's capital in your hands, commanding the winds and clouds?"

Xie Yang: "Not interested."

The Shenhao System was furious:

【Host, don't you dare fall for it! If you command until the end, the world will collapse and you'll have nothing!】

Xie Yang: Don't worry, I'm not stupid.

"... Miss Xie, you have given up the opportunity to cooperate with me. You will definitely regret it in the future."

"Then let's wait and see."

"..."

Seeing that Xie Yang remained unmoved, the Shenhao System breathed a sigh of relief and happily spun in circles:

【Host, Host, I'll go check if there are any new Tasks to send you more money.】

Main System: 【...】 This thing is completely hopeless!

Xie Yang: Hmm, another day of lying down and earning!

On the other side, Xie Xufang received the notification that eight million had arrived.

Having never had a bank account balance reach five digits at most, possessing a seven-digit deposit for the first time—a full eight million—felt so unreal.

"Hey, Boss! You're being way too low-key! If I had a cousin like that, I'd brag until the cows came home!"

Xie Xufang: "..."

Am I being low-key? I didn't even know about it at all, okay!

That said, does anyone else in the family know?

Or were they keeping it a secret from just him alone?

Carrying this sense of secret grievance, Xie Xufang dialed his older brother's number: "Brother, did you know Cousin Ang is super rich?"

???

Xie Xudong, who was currently tearing his hair out over this year's sluggish business, looked confused: "What are you talking about?"

Xie Xufang: "..."

Suddenly, he felt a sense of balance in his heart!

He chuckled twice: "Nothing, I'll give you a surprise later!"

Xie Xudong muttered "bizarre" and hung up the phone, then continued to worry while flipping through the order book:

"The school uniforms for the town middle school were snatched up by the principal's sister-in-law, and the county No. 2 middle school said their uniforms were already ordered in advance. Without these two orders, our family's business probably won't be very prosperous this year..."

His wife Zhou Meijiao heard this and said: "Then let's not buy that school district house we were eyeing for now. Keep the money for emergencies and see how the situation is next year. Anyway, Niannian is still young, and it's still a long way off before she starts school."

Xie Xudong pressed his sore temples: "But Mom already arranged the landlord for us. If we back out at the last minute and say we aren't buying, won't that be a bit bad?"

"My mom was just provoked by a few words from my aunt and had to win that argument. I'll talk to her later; it's not like it's an urgent necessity, she'll understand."

The next day, Zhou Meijiao took her son back to her maiden home to explain the matter.

Upon hearing this, Mother Zhou became anxious instantly:

"What did you say! You're not buying the school district house we picked out? But I've already given my word, and now I'm going to be mocked by your aunt again."

Zhou Meijiao was both annoyed and amused: "Let her mock us; it's not a big deal. Is your face more important, or is your daughter's livelihood more important?"

"That's not how you put it..."

Mother Zhou's expression was sheepish:

"It's not like Mom doesn't hope for you and Xudong to live well. I just want to avoid your aunt constantly nagging in front of me, saying things like what's the use of a son-in-law being handsome and highly educated if he has no money and is nothing..."
