Chapter 516: Chapter 490: President Qian’s Grand Gift (Monthly tickets 1450+ updated)
“Mom, what happened! Is something wrong!” Chen Zilong came in, slippers in hand, to see their mother holding a box and calling out.
“Who left this here—Qian’er!”
Having gotten over her surprise, Jia Xiufang immediately guessed it was her daughter. Xiao Qian came over and leaned against the doorframe.
“Try it on, let’s see if it fits your chubby, pudgy little neck.”
“Nonsense! I’m only 140 pounds, how am I chubby! Where did this come from?”
Within the box was a gold chain, presumably weighing around 20 grams.
“I actually wanted to buy a diamond for you, but considering your tacky taste and your status as a nouveau riche collector of junk, this seems more fitting.”
“Where did you get the money? How could you buy something so expensive without consulting me? You always do whatever you want…”
“I earned it. If I don’t spend my money on my family then who would I spend it on? Here, let me put it on for you. Let’s see if it fits around the neck of my chubby yet charming mother. Take a good look at yourself, remember to buy some jewelry when you make money.”
Xiao Qian put the necklace on Jia Xiufang. Jia Xiufang was rubbing her neck in front of the mirror but still felt uneasy.
“Where did you get the money? Did Ming Lang give it to you? Don’t use his money to buy things for me. Tell me the cost, I will repay it.”
“So vulgar! Can’t I earn my own money? It still fits, you haven’t gone overboard with the weight gain, but watch out. Here, take this. Start exercising when you’re free.”
Xiao Qian took out a gym membership card from her pocket. She procured it that morning, if she had brought her mother along she might have hesitated.
“Why waste this money, I don’t have the time…can you refund it?” Jia Xiufang has been in contact with a fair amount of people and knew some of the city’s high-end clubhouses. The membership card Xiao Qian gave her was top-tier, serving only the wealthy socialites.
“It can’t be refunded once purchased. I got a year’s membership for you. Go whenever you’re free, do some aerobics or yoga. Get out of the house, make some friends, and stop sitting around watching silly TV dramas. I’ll choose a beauty salon for you next time. It would be tragic if your lifestyle doesn’t keep up with your economic status.”
With the profits from trading fat lambs, Xiao Qian planned to invest some in real estate and spend some on the people around her.
“I want to save something for you and your brother. Your brother isn’t even married yet. In the future—”
“He will need to rely on himself in the future! Listen to me, Chen Zilong, our mom’s earnings are hers alone and have nothing to do with us. Don’t fantasize about reaping without sowing. No matter what, even if you end up begging, I won’t let our mom give you a penny if you refrain from studying!”
Xiao Qian interrupted Jia Xiufang and seriously said these words to Chen Zilong.
“I didn’t say anything, big sister. You bought Mom a necklace, what did you get for me?” Chen Zilong was still a child who didn’t think too far ahead. Xiao Qian was just making proactive arrangements to prevent him from becoming a dependent playboy like in his past life.
“Your gift is on my bedside table in my room. Go get it.”
“Big sis, I love you so much!” Chen Zilong said, hopping off to fetch his gift.
Jia Xiufang fondly touched the piece of jewelry her daughter had bought her, feeling both happy and sad for her daughter; such an expensive item, how could a student afford it?
“Don’t overthink it, you’ve worked hard enough, it’s time to enjoy life. Money is earned to improve our lives. Da Long and I have our own lives, you don’t need to constantly worry about saving for us. My mother doesn’t have to be this thrifty; if you need to spend, just spend.”
Jia Xiufang instantly felt warmed. It was really wonderful to have a daughter; Xiao Qian was really thoughtful and well-behaved.
“Ahh!” A scream from Chen Zilong came from Xiao Qian’s room.
Upon hearing her son’s shriek, Jia Xiufang asked Xiao Qian in confusion,
“Qian’er, you didn’t also get him a chain, did you? Why is your brother yelling?”
“I got him something much better than a chain.”
“Don’t frivolously spend money; it’s not easy for you to earn money either… Qian’er, what exactly did you buy for him?”
Jia Xiufang’s question was quickly answered. Chen Zilong came in, carrying a large stack of reference books and tossed them on the floor with a despaired look.
“Big sister, what are you doing?!”
Xiao Qian pulled a piece of paper from her pocket, unfolded it, and spread it out in front of Chen Zilong.
“This is the study schedule your big sister set for you. You need to strictly follow it and complete the exercises every day. Don’t think you can get someone else to do them. I will compare every stroke of your handwriting. If I find out you’re having someone do them for you—”
Xiao Qian adjusts her glasses, causing Chen Zilong to shrink back in fear.
“Big sister, there’s so much here, I can’t possibly finish it all, and I don’t even know how to do it…”
“Don’t worry, I can afford a private tutor for you now, who can guide you for two hours every day. It seems you have plenty of free time to spare, enough to spend several hours in the arcade playing games, huh.”
“You’re not my real sister!!!” Chen Zilong exclaimed in sorrow.
This time, Jia Xiufang stepped in without needing Xiao Qian to say anything. She gave Chen Zilong a firm smack upside his head.
“If she wasn’t your real sister, would she have done so much for you? Who is all this effort for! Look at how much thought she put into selecting these books for you and creating sets of schedules. You ungrateful boy, thank your sister.”
“Big sis, thank you, could you please take these things back? Please return my splendid childhood to me.”
“Your childhood has been too long. It’s obvious to me now, after inheriting someone with a big baby mentality, that one should correct problematic behavior from a young age. Being soft on you now would be irresponsible for your future.”
Xiao Qian smiled gently, “It’s okay if you don’t finish. I won’t hit you.”
“Oh, then I’m relieved.”
“I’ll remote control Brother Lang via phone calls. While Brother Lang is busy with his work in this city, he can make time. I heard he can split several bricks with one punch. I wonder how many bones he can break if he hits a person. Mom, what if Ming Lang damages Da Long, would you be mad?”
“Why would I be mad! This mischievous kid needs to be disciplined. He wanders around everywhere instead of coming home after school! Da Long, if you do not behave, Brother Lang will beat you up!” Jia Xiufang said, backing up Xiao Qian’s words.
Chen Zilong was on the verge of tears.
He felt his life was completely bleak.
Xiao Qian pointed to the reference books on the floor and said, “I will give the study plan to our mom. Although she doesn’t understand academic subjects, she can check to see if you’ve finished your tasks. I will call every day to keep track of you. If you slack off for a day, I will have Brother Lang punch you once. With your physique—”
Xiao Qian looked him up and down then shook her head, “If you keep slacking off for a week, our mom can start preparing a wheelchair and diapers for you. You’ll spend the second half of your life in a state of paralysis.”
He felt like a bolt from the blue. Chen Zilong felt his life was completely barren. His sister wasn’t like this when she returned, why had she suddenly changed after just a day out?!
