The system, not believing the odds, checked the account balance and found that the account, which was originally full of zeros, now only had five yuan left.

How is this possible?

Qiao Xia shrugged. "I told you before, when it comes to spending money recklessly, my parents are unmatched. You'll see what they're up to when we get home. Don't bother me while I'm drinking."

Xiaorou shooed everyone out, then hesitated and said, "Actually, there's still one person in the shop..."

Qiao Xia asked directly, "Is it pretty?"

Xiao Rou nodded emphatically, "He's so handsome, he looks just like a celebrity."

Qiao Xia straightened up. "Call him over. I can pay more if it's not enough."

Xiaorou glanced at her watch. "His schedule isn't very convenient, but he should be here soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside. The person who entered had black hair, a tall and slender figure, and taut muscles wrapped in a uniform. He strode towards her.

Qiao Xia couldn't help but put her hand on his chest. "He is indeed good-looking."

Xiao Rou nervously pulled her hand down and whispered, "It wasn't him, it wasn't him."

The man in front of her curled his lips into a smile, a definite male vixen. Qiao Xia, like a bewitched tyrant, declared boldly, "I want him."

With a "click," Qiao Xia's hand, which was placed on his chest, was firmly handcuffed.

Qiao Xia fumbled around for a moment and found that she couldn't break free of the handcuffs. She angrily held her hands out in front of him and said, "Unlock them for me. I don't like playing this game."

"Oh? Really? What do you like to play?" the male fox spirit asked with a slightly seductive tone.

Xiao Rou quickly covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "Sister, don't say anymore, he really is a policeman."

Zhao Yuncheng then showed his police officer ID at the opportune moment.

Qiao Xia's eyes cleared a bit, and she whispered in Xiao Rou's ear, "Is the economy really that bad right now? They all have to come out and do part-time jobs."

Zhao Yuncheng was too lazy to listen to her continue spouting nonsense, so he pulled her up and said, "Your store is suspected of operating illegally, so you all have to come with me."

Qiao Xia said innocently, "I'm not from this store, and I don't hire any male models. Why are you taking me away too?"

Zhao Yuncheng looked at her hand, which was still on his chest, with a half-smile. "So your crime is assaulting a police officer."

"ah?"

It was late at night when Qiao Xia left the police station.

Zhao Yuncheng did not actually arrest her on charges of assaulting a police officer, and even the fact that there were male models in the KTV was not illegal.

The real reason Zhao Yuncheng came to the store was that the "male model" actually managed to get several older women to spend money on him because of his looks, one of whom spent 500,000 yuan in a month and a half.

Qiao Xia was stunned and regretted once again not sending her father over a few months ago.

A gust of cold wind made Qiao Xia shiver. She had only drunk half a bottle of beer all night, and her stomach was feeling very uncomfortable.

Just then, a vendor was selling starch sausages outside the police station. Qiao Xia took two, and her balance was immediately reduced to zero.

The system exclaimed in amazement, "Let's go back. It seems that there are no new properties or luxury cars registered under your names. I'm very curious about what your parents bought with that 900 million."

Qiao Xia waved the starch sausage in her hand, "Then we'll have to wait a bit longer, all the money I have is here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xia turned around and blocked the middle of the road, successfully forcing Zhao Yuncheng to stop.

Qiao Xia opened the car door without any hesitation. "I live in xxx. Could you please give me a ride, Officer Zhao?"

"Heh~" Zhao Yuncheng sneered, "Not on my way, get off."

Qiao Xia rested her chin on her hand and looked at him. "But I'm out of money. My mom always told me that if you're in trouble, go to the police. Even though it's not on my way, Officer Zhao, can you really give me a ride?"

It was clearly something that was bothering others, but when Qiao Xia said it, it sounded completely natural.

Zhao Yuncheng was too lazy to argue with her.

Qiao Xia said in a flattering tone, "Thank you, Officer Zhao."

Twenty minutes later, Zhao Yuncheng frowned as he looked at the old residential area where the walls and electrical wires were all exposed. "Your family is already in such dire straits, and you still go and hire male models?"

Qiao Xia replied matter-of-factly, "As the saying goes, when you ride a bicycle to a bar, you should save where you can and spend where you can."

"Then remember to ride your bicycle home next time, get off."

Standing in the cold wind, Qiao Xia scratched her head and muttered, "Why is he angry again?"

The system urged, "A man's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. Why do you care why he's angry? I just want to know what your parents did to spend so much money in one day."

"Be prepared." Qiao Xia pushed open the door, and what came into view were all kinds of strangely shaped stones and an extremely exaggerated machine. The originally cramped space was now completely devoid of footholds.

Before the system could even ask a question, Tang Xining, who had heard the commotion, said, "Xiaxia's back. Look at the stone Mom bought; it's definitely going to go up in value this time..."

Qiao Xia hopped onto a chair in the living room on one foot and explained to the system, "Going back three generations from my mother's side, everyone was either a professor or a teacher, so they never lacked anything materially."

"She has been interested in all kinds of jewelry since she was a child, so she became a jewelry designer when she grew up. If she just liked to buy jewelry, that would be one thing, but she also likes to open stones."

"Ever since she opened a jadeite rough stone, she has become completely obsessed with it, and her skill in opening stones is unmatched even by the master craftsmen in Myanmar."

“If it weren’t for the fact that they owed too much money and were on the country’s credit blacklist, I would have sent her to work in Myanmar.”

Tang Xining retorted, "Don't talk like I only know how to lose money. The jade you're wearing around your neck was found by me!"

Qiao Xia nodded, touching the Maitreya Buddha pendant around her neck. "Yes, after opening stones for over ten years, I finally found a piece of green, priced at three thousand five."

Tang Xining rolled her eyes, looked intently at the stone in front of her, and drew lines to find the right angle for cutting. "I have a feeling that this time we'll be able to make a big one."

Qiao Xia nodded perfunctorily, "May I ask where these things came from? I don't think there's anywhere in this small county town where you can buy stones."

Tang Xining said smugly, "That's why I said you don't know how to spend money. With the internet so developed now, after you find something you like, you can add a little money and have it air-freighted over. It only cost 300 million."

[Whoosh—] Having hosted so many hosts, this is the first time the system has felt heartbroken.

In the past, when hosts received money, their first priority, even if it wasn't buying houses or land, would be to find ways to make the money generate more money. But this mother and daughter, one dating male models and the other playing with stones, are both pure spendthrifts.

As if hearing the system's thoughts, Qiao Xia waved her hand, "No, what you see now is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Next up is the creator of 30 billion in debt, the ultimate spendthrift!" In Qiao Xia's chuunibyou-esque broadcasting voice, the dilapidated door slowly opened, and the computer screen glowed faintly.
