Chapter 622: Why Should She Pay This Money?
Who likes buying lottery tickets?Xu Fuhai reflexively looked at Xu Haohao. This daughter usually liked spending tens of bucks to buy a lottery ticket to try her luck, while Shen Shuang had always despised such "tax on intelligence" activities.
So... how did Shen Shuang win the prize? She wouldn’t even buy a ticket!
Xu Fuhai couldn’t help but stare at Shen Shuang and ask, "Xiao Shuang, did you cash Haohao’s lottery ticket for money?"
Shen Shuang felt a rush of indignation, and like her brother’s habit, she couldn’t help picking it up, instinctively crossing her legs and holding a bright red apple, shouting, "When did I steal anything? I... I just happened to overhear."
Shen Shuang knew she couldn’t hide it; she never had the habit of buying lottery tickets, and suddenly buying once with numbers only differing by one from Xu Haohao’s—who could she fool?
Better to just admit it frankly, anyway, all that money was hers.
Xu Fuhai was utterly confused, overhear what?
Xu Haohao glanced at Su Li and then calmly said to Xu Fuhai, "Xiao Li went up the mountain specially to find a master to calculate a string of lucky numbers for me. Your dear daughter casually overheard it outside the door."
Xu Fuhai listened to Xu Haohao’s sarcastic tone when she said "dear daughter" and felt a sense of embarrassment.
However, regardless of which daughter won the prize, it was the Xu Family’s prize!
Xu Fuhai was overjoyed; it was finally a relief. He rubbed his hands and promptly said, "Xiao Shuang, immediately transfer forty million to dad’s company for rotation for a month or two."
Shen Shuang’s hand holding the apple froze suddenly, looking unhappily at Xu Fuhai.
Why?
Doesn’t the family have money? Why ask for her money?
Forty million, that’s two-thirds of the prize, why should she pay it?
When Xu Haohao’s mom was alive, she managed the Xu Family’s money. Shen Shuang, as an illegitimate daughter, never got much pocket money from Xu Fuhai.
She had never experienced such sudden wealth overnight, why should she give so much to her dad?
Shen Shuang felt upset and utterly unwilling.
At this moment, Xu Haohao’s voice rang out in the hall, "Dad, regarding the company’s survival, I’m willing to spend this prize money."
Shen Shuang’s apple fell to the ground with a "thud," her short hair swinging angrily, laughing, "My money, why do you get to decide, Xu Haohao?"
Xu Haohao retorted, "Do I truly have no say? Without me, do you think you could overhear my friend’s lucky numbers and win the prize? Are you not thinking?"
Shen Shuang was at a loss.
Shen Shuang fell silent, tightly clutching her wallet.
The resistance was quite obvious.
Su Li stood aside without speaking, just watching, seeing the change of expressions on Xu Fuhai’s face; Su Li almost laughed out loud.
Xu Fuhai was emotionally up and down, his eyes fixed on Shen Shuang’s crossed legs, that carefree posture of a guy made him almost want to gouge his eyes out!
Previously, he thought Shen Shuang was innocent and naive, protecting her frail mom when alone outside. But now compared to Xu Haohao, Xu Fuhai was about to explode with anger!
What the hell is this genuine temperament, she’s practically like a street punk!
Moreover... she had no sense of the bigger picture. His company couldn’t operate and had to close down; how would that benefit her?
Then look at Xu Haohao, hearing about the issue and immediately willing to chip in money.
Indeed, a daughter raised personally is different from one raised outside...
