Chapter 497: 496: Yin Qin belongs to Ji Baixing, and so does his money (Third update)

Luo Xiaolang left the Milky Way.

She insisted on driving her own car to avoid the hassle of going back and forth in a bank car.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Just like that, she drove her SUV calmly along the highway.

She truly felt calm, accepting all of Yin Qin and Ji Baixing’s choices. She could remain unaffected, but in that moment, the scene of Yin Qin and Ji Baixing kissing played over and over again in her head.

She hadn’t seen it clearly because they split apart as soon as she opened the door.

But she could picture it in her mind.

She remembered when Yin Qin proposed to her, he had kissed her in the same way.

She thought she had forgotten it all cleanly, but she seemed to be able to recall the palpitations from that time.

She pursed her lips.

Silently enduring everything, silently digesting the uncomfortable yet necessary experiences.

She drove the car into her underground garage.

And came back home.

At home, the little tiger was still causing a ruckus.

Seeing Luo Xiaolang return, the housekeeper hastily said, “The little tiger refuses to sleep without you. No matter how hard I try, he won’t sleep. It’s driving me crazy.”

Luo Xiaolang changed into slippers, walked towards the housekeeper, and said, “Let me do it.”

The housekeeper handed the little tiger over to Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang soothed the little tiger gently, humming lullabies to him, skills she had learnt after becoming his mother.

Luo Xiaolang is fairly tall, around 172 cm. At first sight, the housekeeper thought that Luo Xiaolang was overly tall. Standing next to her young master she was just a tad shorter, and high heels could make her as tall as him. But back then, her height didn’t stand out to the housekeeper. On the contrary, she felt this girl was bulky, not the physique typical for a girl. But now, after the birth of the little tiger and getting back in shape, Luo Xiaolang’s body had become suddenly delicate.

Even in just a casual outfit, without any thoughtful matching, the housekeeper suddenly found Luo Xiaolang looking good in anything. It was similar to watching a model on TV, without the dazzle of those celebrities of course.

Actually, Luo Xiaolang can look quite stunning when she puts in the effort.

On her wedding day, she caught everyone’s attention with her meticulous dress-up. It’s a shame the young master never got to see it.

As the housekeeper watched Luo Xiaolang, she saw a girl who had become a single mother at just 20 years old. Instead of needing paternal care like most children her age, she had shouldered the responsibility of taking care of others.

Her eyes reddened inexplicably.

It’s only after spending a long time together that she realized how good Luo Xiaolang is. Never complaining, silently enduring any hardships, she lived her life sincerely even after every reject she faced.

The housekeeper watched as Luo Xiaolang quickly put the little tiger to sleep.

From whenever it started, the little tiger demanded only Luo Xiaolang when it was time to sleep. Despite the housekeeper being around during the little tiger’s birth and having taken care of him since he was a baby, when it came to sleeping, he chose Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang placed the little tiger in the crib, gently covered him with a blanket, and watched his content face as he slept.

In that moment, she felt a sudden rush of relief.

Thankfully, the little tiger looked like her.

“Xiaolang.” The housekeeper sat next to Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang turned her head towards the housekeeper.

The housekeeper said, “Actually, you don’t have to return the young master’s money. The baby is both of yours, you don’t have to reject it. Most importantly, to the Yin Family, 5 million is really just a drop in the bucket. I even think that the young master is being stingy. He should at least give tens of millions. But even 5 million is a significant amount to ordinary people like us.”

With that, she seemed a little resentful.

“I’ve already returned it,” Luo Xiaolang stated bluntly.

The housekeeper was taken aback.

“I don’t want to have any association with him,” Luo Xiaolang said in an emotionless tone.

“Silly girl, why are you so unwilling to make peace with money!” The housekeeper said with some helplessness.

Why make life so hard for oneself?

She didn’t quite understand what streaming was, whether it could make money. She only knew that once Luo Xiaolang began streaming, she had to sit rigidly in front of the computer for 2 hours. It seemed like a simple task, but such rigidity for a prolonged time felt irritating, especially when it was a daily routine. Luo Xiaolang would surely suffer when she gets old.

“It’s fine. I can make money and support the household. You don’t need to worry about me, my streaming earnings are actually quite high. The income in the past few days wasn’t much, but I earned about 200,000 today.”

“That much?” Aunt Wu sounded astonished.

Though it may not be much for the Yin family, to an average person, making 200,000 in a day was an astronomical sum.

“But it’s not stable.” Luo Xiaolang said, “But I think I can do it well, it shouldn’t be too hard. Only, while I’m live streaming, I would need Aunt Wu to take care of the little tiger.”

“What trouble? This is just my job. The Yin family is paying me a lot to take care of the little tiger. Don’t put it like that,” Aunt Wu hurriedly declined.

“Once I really start making money and it becomes stable, you won’t need to take money from the Yin family anymore, I can pay you then,” but she currently didn’t have the capability to do so.

And she wouldn’t selfishly force Aunt Wu to refuse the income from the Yin family just because she didn’t like them.

“Silly girl, don’t be so stubborn,” said Aunt Wu. “I’ve been a maid in these rich family conglomerates since I was young, I’ve seen too many women do shameless things for money and status. You’re refusing what you rightly deserve. How can you be so foolish?”

Aunt Wu was genuinely worried for Luo Xiaolang.

“No matter what, don’t make an enemy of money!”

Luo Xiaolang smiled faintly. She didn’t have a problem with money, she just couldn’t get along with Yin Qin.

She could never get along with him in this lifetime.

That night.

Song Zhizhi came to their house after finishing her work.

Aunt Wu was cooking and quickly told Song Zhizhi, “Miss Song, have dinner with us.”

“Oh, I’ve eaten. You guys are eating this late?” It was already 8pm.

“We have to feed the little tiger first before preparing our meal,” Luo Xiaolang explained, so their meal time wasn’t really fixed.

“Oh. I see!” Song Zhizh murmured.

“Did you need something from me?” Luo Xiaolang asked.

“Not really, just came to see the little tiger,” Song Zhizhi smiled.

“He just fell asleep, do you want me to wake him up?”

“No need. I’ll play with him when he wakes up.” Song Zhizhi quickly said, “And, I heard you’ve started live streaming.”

“Oh, yes.” Luo Xiaolang nodded.

“So…” Song Zhizhi hesitated.

“Are you going to ask me if I’m short on cash?” Luo Xiaolang looked at Song Zhizhi.

“I just saw it on the news. I’ve been busy dealing with Ye Wenhan’s matters, I didn’t know…”

“Actually, I just want to earn my own money. Many people have asked if I need money. I don’t, I think I can support myself,” Luo Xiaolang affirmed.

“Can you take care of the little tiger while you’re streaming?” Song Zhizhi was concerned.

“I can. During the stream, as long as Aunt Wu is next to the little tiger it’s fine. Other than when he’s sleeping, the little tiger is quite easy to take care of.”

“Alright, then I support your decision,” Song Zhizhi nodded.

She actually felt that if Xiaolang decided to live in this place, she really should learn to take care of herself.

Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Or if one day, she and Ji Baijian fail, and the Yin family goes bankrupt, then Xiaolang would only have herself to rely on.

She said, “You don’t have to accept money from others, but keep what Yin Qin gives you. If you don’t use it, it will end up in Ji Baixing’s hands. ”

“Let her have it,” Luo Xiaolang said lightly, “Yin Qin belongs to her, so of course, Yin Qin’s money is hers too.”

There was a moment of silence in Song Zhizhi’s heart.

She always felt that Xiaolang’s indifference wasn’t just superficial.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t hide anything from Song Zhizhi, “Yin Qin gave me some money, but I gave it back to him.”

“Why did you give it back to him? If you don’t want it, you could donate it to charity, why give it back to him?” Song Zhizhi was somewhat agitated.

“…” She hadn’t thought it through that much.

“So, he actually thought of giving you money?” Song Zhizhi murmured, “Ji Baixing has been stirring things up in the media, right? I thought Yin Qin, considering Ji Baixing, wouldn’t give you any.”

Song Zhizhi was truly feeling more and more that Ji Baixing’s heart was entirely warped.
