Chapter 40 - BEING POOR IS TERRIBLE (1/2)
As they drove back to the city, a bottled silence filled the car. It was broken by the chime from Luo Jingyi's phone. Unlocking it, she scanned through the message.
WITCH: Sold the property.
Luo Jingyi fired away a reply.
LJY: Really?
Two years ago, with this person's persuasion, they started investing in real estate properties.
Another beep.
WITCH: Yeah. Deposited your share. Check your account.
Opening the message that just got in, it was from the bank. Sliding her fingers to count the zeroes on her balance, she grinned widely.
LJY: Thanks. I am poor as of late.
WITCH: This is considered poor? When you have millions stowed away in
different accounts and a flourishing corporation.
LJY: Stop looking at my financials. That's a violation of privacy.
WITCH: You are telling that to the wrong person. Violation of privacy is never in my
dictionary.
Luo Jingyi could almost hear the scoff from this person albeit, miles away.
LJY: I'll definitely call the cyber police.
WITCH: You can try. But darling, that would be a waste of time. And resources.
LJY: Haha. I know. Anyway, thanks for making me richer again.
She was about to pocket her phone when it dinged.
WITCH: Why do you want to earn money that much?
It took a couple of minutes for Luo Jingyi to answer.
LJY: Being poor is….just terrible.
Getting no response from the other person, she checked her account balance again and the curve that was plastered on her face never faded. Money was desired by everyone. While it provided comfort for others, money for her was like a blanket of security. So she really works hard to earn them.
”Good news?” Yun Jinghan wanted to know why she was suddenly of high energy, humming softly. Her overall visage was radiating happiness. It was much more intense than she was with the Lacroix. Thus, he was curious about who was sending her messages.
'A man?' A tinge of jealousy warmed his blood. Yet, he reigned down that idea when it came to mind, she has no male friends.
”Yes.” She answered with a grin that couldn't be contained.
”Want to share?” He baited.
”Hmm. A return of investment.”
Yun Jinghan mouthed an 'Oh,' relief flooding him.
Still reeling into that feeling of euphoria, Luo Jingyi shifted her body, leaning on the armrest between them. She asked, ”What do you want? I'll give you.”
”Really?”
”Yes.” She nodded.
”I want that building.” He pointed outside, laughing at the same time.
Glancing briefly to where his finger had pointed, she returned to her original position, crossed her arms on her chest and complained. ”You are too expensive.”
”I am sweetie.. I am..”
