I Became the Male Lead's Stepmother After Transmigrating

Chapter 114: A Millionaire

Lu Bei, who was still young, still had a gentle heart. In addition, he had been getting along well with Xiang Xiaoyuan recently. Now that he saw her lowering her head and eating the delicious meat, he blurted out without thinking, “If you’re short of money, you can tell me.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan raised her head in surprise. “You have money?”

Lu Bei pursed his thin lips. “I have new year’s money saved up.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was a little touched. Although Lu Bei looked like a child who was not easy to get along with, he had a kind heart. So when he saw his female classmate being harassed, he did not hesitate to step forward to protect her, even if the harasser was a gangster. Hence, when he felt that his stepmother did not have enough money, he would offer help.

His heart was very sincere. At the same time, it was also very easy to cheat him of his money.

Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and looked at Lu Bei warmly. “Don’t worry, I’m not short of money at the moment. But thank you for saying that.”

Lu Bei’s tense shoulders relaxed slightly. The two of them stopped talking and began to focus on enjoying the delicious and juicy barbecue.

After eating, it was almost eight o’clock. Lu Bei did not have to rush to the subway today. Perhaps because both of them had a part time job, the two of them became closer.

Lu Bei sat in the passenger seat. On the way to the car, Xiang Xiaoyuan remembered that she still had something to do today. She wanted to check how much money was in the bank card that Lu Wanggui gave her.

She stopped by an ATM and said to Lu Bei, “Wait for me for a while. It’ll be done in a few minutes.”

Lu Bei looked down at his phone and did not even raise his head. “Okay.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan walked briskly up the stairs and to the ATM. She carefully checked the surroundings to see if there was anyone around before inserting the card into the ATM.

She pressed the check balance button and a few seconds later, the screen flashed. Xiang Xiaoyuan’s eyes widened when she saw the string of zeros displayed on the screen!

What was going on? The account actually had this much money? It was close to ten million!

Wasn’t this an account to receive salary? Who would have a salary account that had ten million?

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought that her eyes were playing tricks on her, but after counting it twice, the number of zeros was still the same. She put the bank card away and opened the car door in a daze, looking as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.

Lu Bei looked at her in confusion. “You… what’s wrong?” Why was she so distracted after going out for a while?

Xiang Xiaoyuan snapped back to her senses. The light in her eyes gave Lu Bei a fright.

“I’m in a super good mood today. Do you have anything you want to buy? I’ll buy it for you.” After blurting out these words, Xiang Xiaoyuan regained her rationality, but she was still excited. She was now a rich lady with more than 10 million. Although this money was given by Lu Wanggui and she didn’t know when he would take it back, she was still very happy.

Without waiting for Lu Bei to speak, she added sensibly, “As long as it doesn’t exceed 1,000 yuan, I’ll buy it for you.”

Lu Bei looked at her silently. “Then you can transfer the money for me.”

“Okay.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan picked up the phone on the phone stand, opened Wechat, and started the transfer. When she entered the transfer amount, she paused for a moment. For some reason, even though she had 10 million yuan in savings now, her hand would still tremble reluctantly when she transferred money with four digits.

Then, she decisively deleted a zero, entered her password, and her phone prompted that the transfer was successful.

Lu Bei had been holding his phone waiting for her to transfer the money. When his phone vibrated, he looked down and saw that the transfer was 100 yuan.

Lu Bei: “…”

He turned his head to look at Xiang Xiaoyuan. Are adults always like this?

Xiang Xiaoyuan said, “I think I’m still quite poor.”

Lu Wanggui had purposely refused a few social invitations to get off work early today. He had originally wanted to take Xiang Xiaoyuan and his son out for dinner, but he did not expect that when he pushed open the door, the house was silent.

Before he could ask, Butler Liu came over and explained, “Sir, Young Master had called earlier and said that he and Madam are having dinner outside. He won’t be coming back for dinner tonight.”

Butler Liu was very pleased. He was so old and had seen many people. He knew that his madam was a very good person. Now that he saw that the young master and madam were getting along well, he was very happy.

Lu Wanggui made a sound of acknowledgement, his expression was still calm. But in his heart, he was puzzled. He couldn’t figure out why the two of them had gone out for dinner together?

When Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei reached home, it was almost nine o’clock.

When the two of them were taking off their shoes at the entrance, they heard Butler Liu say, “Madam, Sir left work very early today. He is now in the study.”
