Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chu Yang unconsciously fell asleep as he lay in bed thinking about where to take his cousin.

When he woke up the next day, Xu Qian and Qin Feng had not returned yet. So he went to have his breakfast alone and planned to continue playing Texas hold ’em back at the dormitory.

For the time being, he had no desire to go out.

After a morning of hard work, Chu Yang finally leveled up his Texas hold ’em character to Level 2 at almost noon.

[ Ding, congratulations to the host for leveling up your Texas hold ’em character to Level 2. The reward is 15 million dollars. ]

“As expected, I knew that I would never be short of money after getting this phone. Aren’t I receiving yet another 15 million?” Chu Yang calmly looked at the game interface that showed a new notification about the 15 million.

[ Your tail number received 15 million dollars on August 3rd. ] Not long after the notification, Chu Yang also received a message from the bank.

“Yes, this is awesome.” 

After seeing the message, Chu Yang excitedly and happily hammered his thigh.

Looking at the 15 million dollars in his bank card, he thought to himself, “Looks like I won’t be using the money in the Quan Li Group account for the time being.”

After his character leveled up to Level 2, he exited the game. He didn’t want to touch it for the time being, after all, it is too much of a headache.

Wanting to be entertained to ease his mood, Chu Yang opened a live stream APP on his phone instead.

…

In the blink of an eye, it is Cousin Xue’er’s arrival day in Haoyu City.

Chu Yang, who had just woken up, decided to take a shower before he went to pick up his cousin.

Cousin Xue’er told him that it is a flight around three o’clock in the afternoon. Therefore, Chu Yang still has some time. It will take him about two hours to get to the airport from school, and it is only slightly past noon currently.

After his shower, Chu Yang changed into the casual outfit he had bought. After all, he is going to pick up his cousin, so he needs to wear something more presentable.

Afterwhich, he headed off to the airport.

…

Upon arriving at the airport, Chu Yang realized that he arrived a little early. He thought that the traffic in Haoyu City would be congested, so he had set off a lot earlier.

Little did he expect the traffic flow to be so smooth today, and he arrived at the airport in an instant. Xue’er’s flight would arrive in two hours, so Chu Yang parked his car and waited at the airport lobby.

After waiting for two hours, Chu Yang saw Xue’er’s plane landing. He walked to the exit of the airport and waited for Xue’er.

As more and more people got off the plane, Chu Yang kept searching for Xue’er in the crowd. However, he had overestimated himself. After looking around, Chu Yang still could not find her.

Just as he was about to take out his phone to call her, a girl patted Chu Yang’s shoulder from behind.

“Hey, Cousin, are you looking for me?”

Chu Yang turned around and stared at the person behind him. Only then did he realize that she is the person he has been looking for.

“Cousin, what’s wrong? Is there something on my face? You’ve been staring at me,” Xue’er asked after noticing that Chu Yang had been staring at her.

“Haha, no, it’s just that I haven’t seen you for a long time. Now that Xue’er has become so beautiful, I can barely even recognize you now.” Chu Yang explained awkwardly to her.

“Hmph, I knew you wouldn’t recognize me. Just now, I walked past you twice and you didn’t call out to me, so I had no choice but to come to you.” Xue’er wrinkled her nose and snorted at Chu Yang.

“Haha, this is all an accident, just an accident. Come, let’s go eat first. Then I’ll bring you home to rest.”

Faced with Xue’er’s dissatisfaction, Chu Yang cleverly changed the topic.

Following that, Chu Yang brought Xue’er to the parking lot of the airport. When Chu Yang walked to the side of the Maserati, Xue’er widened her eyes in surprise.

“Brother, are you going to bring me home with this car?” Xue’er pointed at the Maserati and asked.

“Yes, is there a problem? Do you not like to be driven in a Maserati?”

Upon hearing Xue’er’s words, Chu Yang thought that she did not like it.

“No, no. I mean, did you buy this Maserati?” Xue’er asked Chu Yang in surprise.

“No, this car belongs to a friend, not me.”

“Oh, I see. I thought you bought a sports car.” Hearing Chu Yang’s words, Xue’er suppressed her excitement.

“My car is a more expensive LaFerrari. Because it was damaged by a friend, this is on loan for now,” Chu Yang said calmly to Xue’er.

“Brother, you mean you have a LaFerrari?”

“Ah!” With Chu Yang’s words, Xue’er’s originally calm heart flew up again.

“Isn’t it just a LaFerrari? You silly girl, why are you so excited?”

“Cousin, it’s a LaFerrari. I don’t care. When your car is ready, I want you to take me for a ride,” Xue’er immediately said to Chu Yang after confirming that he has one.

“Okay, I’ll take you for a ride around Haoyu City until you puke,” Chu Yang replied in a slightly stern tone as he put her suitcase in the car.

After so many days of owning it, in Chu Yang’s eyes, a LaFerrari is no different from a normal car.

Chu Yang started the car and set off to the restaurant he had booked for lunch.

“Cousin, I want to eat a sumptuous meal,” Xue’er teased Chu Yang after getting into the car.

“Don’t worry. This time, I’m bringing you to a three-star restaurant. I can guarantee that I won’t let you down,” Chu Yang replied nonchalantly. He had already planned out the itinerary for her visit.

The restaurant was not far from the airport. Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a restaurant called Hu Restaurant.

After parking the car, they informed the front desk about their reservation. A waiter then brought Chu Yang and Xue’er to the private room.

Entering the private room, Chu Yang handed the menu to Xue’er and said to her, “Order whatever you want.”

Xue’er took the menu and had a glance, she immediately raised her head and asked Chu Yang, “Cousin, did you win a fortune? I won’t bankrupt you by eating here, right?”

She has noticed that the prices of the dishes on the menu are either in the hundreds or thousands.

“Don’t worry. I am capable of treating you to this meal. Order whatever you want. Don’t hold back on me. You can eat whatever you want,” Chu Yang replied generously.

Xue’er felt more certain after listening to Chu Yang’s words. Her cousin should not be short of money now, so she can order with ease.

After ordering three of her favorite dishes, Xue’er handed the menu to Chu Yang. Chu Yang looked at the order and added two more dishes before handing the menu to the waiter.

“Brother, did you strike a lottery? I’m really curious.” Just as the waiter left, Xue’er could not hold back her curiosity anymore and asked Chu Yang straightforwardly.

The experience she had from the airport to this restaurant broke Xue’er’s understanding of Chu Yang’s past.

Her cousin, who was average and ordinary, is now young and rich. He drives a cool Maserati and brought her to this expensive restaurant to eat.

“I did strike a lottery, but not much. The reason I brought you here for a meal is that I am now the Chairman of the Quan Li Group.” Facing Xue’er’s question, Chu Yang gave his standard answer.

Xue’er immediately exclaimed in the same way as Chu Yang’s father, “Quan Li Group? Is it the Quan Li Group that was advertised on TV?” 

Facing Xue’er’s surprise, Chu Yang calmly confirmed, “Yes, that’s right. It’s that Quan Li Group..”
