The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 166: Brother Earns Money Just for You to Spend
"You saved me, and until your injury is healed, I have a duty to take care of you." Gu Shili turned his head to glance at her, with fine strands of hair covering his narrow phoenix eyes, and his high nose and seductive lips looking somewhat tempting.
Qiao Qiqi blinked, feeling her heartbeat inexplicably skip a beat. She despised herself in her heart, thinking, this is my benefactor! She absolutely must not entertain any inappropriate thoughts about her benefactor.
She turned around to look forward and took out her phone to start handling her own affairs.
She first took a glance at the bet, and it was fine if she didn’t look, but she was slightly shocked upon checking. What happened? She hadn’t looked at the betting pool for just a day, how did her betting number soar to five billion?
Qiao Yue’er is now at two billion five hundred million.
Who exactly invested so much money?
What Qiao Qiqi didn’t know was that this bet, initially just among students, had already spread throughout Manchester.
Even the old man from the Rong Family, whom she saved, had invested one billion, and even encouraged his old friends to invest.
On the other side, seeing the skyrocketing bet amount here, the students who felt assured of winning started bringing their family members to participate.
Rong Yun, who hadn’t gotten the chance to thank the benefactor who saved his grandfather, also invested fifty million.
Qiao Qiqi didn’t pay much more attention to this matter and after closing the software, her phone rang. She immediately answered it.
The call was from Qiao Jiezhe, he excitedly asked, "Sister, where are you? I finish shooting tonight, and I can come back tomorrow, have you missed me?"
Qiao Jiezhe felt exceptionally excited thinking about his sweet, soft sister.
"Brother, I miss you. Rest well tonight, it must be tiring flying back tomorrow." Qiao Qiqi’s voice softened, and even her always sharp phoenix eyes showed gentle light.
Listening to her soft words, Gu Shili turned his head for a glance, suddenly feeling a bit jealous.
Though she treated him well too, she had never been this gentle before.
That full-hearted tenderness made one almost want to commit a crime.
"Hmm, I will, sister, you rest well too. Ah, I bought you a gift, I don’t know if you will like it." Qiao Jiezhe looked at the room full of bags, dolls, and clothes feeling uneasy. What if his sister doesn’t like them?
"Brother... As long as it’s bought by you, I like it. I’ve never sent you a gift before, how about I give you a special present for your birthday?"
Qiao Jiezhe was extremely happy, "Sis, I don’t need you to give me gifts, as long as you’re willing to talk to me, I’m happy!"
Hearing her brother’s silly words, Qiao Qiqi couldn’t help but smile, "Then rest early, see you tomorrow."
"Sister, you rest early too, don’t tire yourself too much. Girls don’t need to work so hard, I’ll earn money for you to spend!"
After the siblings hung up the phone, Qiao Jiezhe hugged a life-sized doll and felt like crying from happiness. His sister was truly wonderful, indeed nothing beats real siblings. He just didn’t get along with Qiao Yue’er, and Qiao Yue’er was particularly overbearing since childhood; the family also spoiled her, and he was always getting scolded.
Every birthday, Qiao Yue’er would demand him to buy gifts with an authoritative tone, and if he didn’t, she would complain, and he would be mocked by the family.
Even if he used all his pocket money to buy her a gift, she would still find fault!
