Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly

Chapter 171: Why Do I Feel So Anxious for No Reason?

Gu Lingqian really gave her the Black Card, and with that non-negotiable attitude, too.Xia Yinian looked at the card in her hand, her face filled with helplessness.

Of course, she dared not spend recklessly with this card because, as she said, he’s not her anything, their relationship is fake.

However, what if he refuses to let her find a job!

It’s okay to find one for Taotao, but not for her; so overbearing! Hmph!

Still, with the card now in her hands, she had to keep it safe until the agreement ends to return it to him.

If it gets lost, wouldn’t that be troublesome? Would she have to pay a fine? Could the replacement cost be very expensive?

Ah, burdened with an uninvited worry, afraid of losing it and not having the money to compensate—how annoying!

Having secured the Black Card, Xia Yinian didn’t even have the chance to lift her head before she felt a chilly presence that seemed to surge over from somewhere.

That chill was so intense it could be likened to the slash of an ice blade.

Instinctively, she looked up in the direction of that presence, which was where Gu Beicheng was.

But, he was not looking at her.

Still, that frighteningly cold air was unmistakably emanating from over there. Was it really him?

Xia Yinian thought about it, and suddenly her heart started to race again.

Gu Lingqian gave her the Black Card just now; Gu Beicheng didn’t see it, did he?

He shouldn’t have seen it, right?

After all, it’s such a long distance...

But what if he did? He’s so stingy; would he get mad?

However, it was Gu Lingqian who gave it to her, not her asking him for it; what’s it to her?

Besides, do she really need that guy’s permission to accept things from others? Who is he to her?

Thinking about it, Xia Yinian felt that there was nothing to fear, really nothing at all.

What does she have to do with him?

Having gathered her things, she got in the car, ready to head back to the Gu Family home.

Yet, despite feeling fearless, why was there an inexplicable... sense of panic in her heart?

...

Back at the Gu Family home with nothing to do, Xia Yinian decided to join Tao Xiaotao and head out for a shopping trip.

Since there was nothing else on her agenda, plus going out was a good opportunity to search for a job.

Staying at home every day, jobs wouldn’t come knocking on her door.

To earn some extra cash, they even took hourly jobs like distributing flyers.

The plaza was crowded at noon; Xia Yinian and Tao Xiaotao, dressed in animal costumes, were sweating profusely in this season’s heat.

Each held balloons in one hand and flyers for a hotpot restaurant in the other, waving at children and handing out flyers to the parents.

Thanks to them, quite a few people went upstairs to the hotpot restaurant after receiving a flyer.

"Hey, isn’t that Nian Nian?" Suddenly, a girly voice rang out.

"Yah, it really is Nian Nian, Xia Yinian, and also Tao Xiaotao," another girl said in surprise.

A group of people walked over quickly, particularly enthusiastic was Xia Yinian’s old deskmate from junior high.

Once desk partners for half a term, Xia Yinian later went on to sit with Tao Xiaotao.

The rest of the group were junior high classmates of Xia Yinian and Tao Xiaotao, some of whom they hadn’t seen since high school began.

"My gosh, it really is Nian Nian!" Old deskmate Ye Shushu saw her, and her eyes were full of delighted smiles.

"It’s been over a year, Nian Nian, you’ve become so pretty! I could barely recognize you!"

Ye Shushu pulled the friends behind her, some of whom were also classmates of Xia Yinian’s, and she smiled as she called out, "Look everyone, hasn’t Nian Nian become much more beautiful?"

"She was cute before, but now she’s blossomed, truly a stunning beauty! So gorgeous!"

Like a flower at eighteen, the current Xia Yinian was quite the breathtaking beauty!
