Chapter 35

Madam Xiao’s body stiffened as she looked at Xiao Ying in disbelief.

Xiao Ying smiled and allowed Madam Xiao to size her up.

Madam Xiao forced a smile. “Ying’er has grown up and knows how to spend money. Mommy will transfer another 5,000 yuan to your card later.”

She spoke with a pained expression. Recently, something had happened to the Xiao family.

She didn’t have much money with her.

Xiao Ying was still smiling, looking pleased.

However, her words were not as likable as her outer appearance..

“That’s not enough.”

Madam Xiao gritted her teeth in anger, but she still showed kindness on her face.

“I’ll give you 10,000 yuan?”

Xiao Ying shook her head.

“Twenty thousand?”

“Thirty?”

“Fifty thousand?!”

Xiao Ying still shook her head.

Madam Xiao’s face was already ashen.

Although she still tried her best to smile, she looked extremely stiff.

Xiao Ruoxuan was already tugging at Madam Xiao’s sleeve.

Why was she giving Xiao Ying so much money?

Xiao Ying saw that Madam Xiao clearly didn’t want to add anymore.

She pretended to be helpless and said, “Sigh, looks like I should accept my sister’s gift.”

Xiao Ruoxuan panicked again.

She did not want to give Xiao Ying money.

But still, tens of thousands of yuan was nothing compared to that gift.

Madam Xiao asked Xiao Ying, enunciating each word clearly, “How much do you want?”

Xiao Ying extended a finger.

Madam Xiao made a guess. “A hundred thousand?”

Xiao Ying still shook her head.

Madam Xiao became irritable when she saw Xiao Ying shake her head.

If it wasn’t 100,000 yuan, then it was 1,000,000 yuan?

Xiao Ruoxuan spoke before Madam Xiao could. “You want a million?”

Xiao Ying finally nodded.

A million yuan was not much to the Xiao family.

She had some doubts about Madam Xiao’s attitude.

Had something happened to the Xiaos?

Thinking of that, it would explain Xiao Lingbo insisting that she keep Cheng Yang busy.

It seemed like he had a request.

Xiao Ying tried to filter out this possibility.

She came back to her senses and looked at the stunned mother and daughter.

In her heart, she felt that Madam Xiao shouldn’t be like this. How could someone who normally spent millions of yuan be so shocked over a million?

Madam Xiao was not shocked by the million yuan.

What shocked her was Xiao Ying.

She felt that Xiao Ying had changed, as if she had broken free from her control on her tenth birthday.

Xiao Lingbo walked over. “What are you all doing?”

Xiao Ying quickly went forward and shook Xiao Lingbo’s arm.

“My sister said that she wanted to give me a gift from the tour.”

Xiao Lingbo found it unbelievable. Those things had been carefully selected by Xiao Ruoxuan.

He already knew how much she liked them.

She was willing to give one away?

Xiao Ying spoke before Xiao Ruoxuan could. “But then she didn’t want to give it to me anymore. Mother said that she wanted to give me money for me to buy one myself, but in the end, she didn’t want to give it to me either.”

Xiao Ying lowered her head in disappointment.

Madam Xiao and Xiao Ruoxuan also shut their mouths.

They could not refute what Xiao Ying said.

Xiao Lingbo glared at Madam Xiao, thinking that she did not want to pay for it herself.

“Alright, Daddy promises you.”

“Lingbo, this girl wants…”

“Alright, what’s wrong with giving some money to your daughter when she’s older? Ying’er, how have you been getting along with Mr. Cheng recently?”

Xiao Lingbo interrupted Madam Xiao.

When he turned to face Xiao Ying, he looked at her expectantly.

“Nothing much has happened recently.”

The moment Xiao Ying said that, Xiao Lingbo’s expression turned cold.

He wondered if his daughter really knew Cheng Yang.

However, he had seen it with his own eyes. There was no mistake.

Madam Xiao did not dare to open her mouth again, and Xiao Ruoxuan did not have as many misgivings.

“Dad, Xiao Ying wants a million.”

The moment that was said, Xiao Lingbo was stunned for a moment before he blurted out:

“How dare you!”
