Chapter 3 Huge Balance

Just as Bai Tang was lying on the sofa with two tufts of silly hair and daydreaming, her stomach made a rumbling sound, "Gurgle...", which made her feel very embarrassed. Fortunately, there was no one around and she was the only one in the room.

I looked out the window and saw that it was getting dark. It turned out that an afternoon had passed without me noticing. While thinking about what to eat for dinner, I picked up my phone to check the time.

An old Xiaomi smartphone, a second-hand phone that I saved up to buy when I was just in high school a few years ago. The screen is full of scratches, but it’s in good condition overall. It’s just that the response is a little slow, and it often overheats and freezes.

When she saw that the time on her phone was already past seven in the evening, she also received a bank message from the bank. The message came while she was daydreaming, and she didn't even hear the message alert tone.

While muttering, "Bank text message? I'm so poor, why do you need to send me a text message? After all, I want to make a time deposit, but I'm embarrassed to take out my 3,000-plus yuan." He clicked on the text message.

I accidentally glanced at the content of the message and was stunned on the spot.

"How much is this...?"

She saw a text message from the bank informing her that the remittance had arrived. It started with a 3, followed by a long string of zeros, and at the end was her original balance... 3175.2 yuan. Bai Tang was shocked and felt a little embarrassed.

"I am such a poor little girl."

Bai Tang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and she remembered what Evan had said to her on the phone.

"Ms. Bai, Mr. Song entrusted us in his will that from now on, the family trust will remit 50 million US dollars to you every month for living expenses. It will be remitted to your account at Longguo Commercial Bank after the exchange rate conversion. Please remember to check the message every month to confirm whether it has been received. If there is any deviation, you can contact me at any time. I will help you handle everything here in the United States."

Bai Tang gradually had some impressions in her mind. She must have been confused at the time and didn't listen carefully to many of the words. Now she recalled it and remembered this incident.

Bai Tang looked down at her phone again, and the huge surprise made the two tufts of hair on her head tremble. The group or the system mentioned before were just things that she had not yet felt. The huge impact brought by this long list of balances was the real shock.

After careful counting, it is 300 million, and it is correct. After converting the exchange rate of 50 million US dollars, this is basically the number.

The great excitement made Bai Tang's pink little face flush and her eyes were bright.

"So, I am already a rich woman?!"

"I don't have to count the change to spend money anymore?" "I don't have to work part-time to tutor people and come home to study until late at night?"

"Can I wear pretty dresses?" "Can I eat pretty cakes on my birthday in the future, instead of worrying about whether to put an extra egg in a bowl of noodles?"

“Hahahaha…hahaha…”

The laughter that was released after being suppressed for a long time was so unbridled and flamboyant. However, there was a hint of sobbing in this laughter... The tears sliding down her face made the happy Bai Tang slightly stunned. Is this what it means to laugh with tears?

The soundproofing of the old residential building is not very good, so Grandma Sun, who was cleaning the table next door, heard Bai Tang's faint laughter. She was stunned for a moment and looked at the old man sitting on the sofa reading a book in her house and said, "Is that Xiao Tangtang from next door laughing?"

"It should be, it sounds like it. I haven't heard this kid laugh for a long time. Is there some happy news?" Old man Sun pushed his glasses and said while flipping through a book.

"Ah~" Grandma Sun, who was washing dishes, sighed. "What a nice little girl. Ever since Song Wei passed away and that bastard Bai Wengang ran off with his woman, this child has never smiled again. When they meet, they just say hello politely."

"If it weren't for the neighbors taking care of her over the years, this child would have to endure a lot of hardships. One time, I saw that she was very thin, so I stuffed 200 yuan into her pocket. She pushed me back and ran away. She is very stubborn."

"Okay, okay, this girl is a good one. She has not had an adult to take care of her these years, but she has not grown up badly and is doing well in her studies. She will have a promising future. Hey, old lady, bring me my glasses cloth, my glasses are very scratched..."

Yes, in the past few years, Bai Tang has no relatives to take care of her. She has not learned bad things at all, but has maintained her innocence. It's just that the dramatic changes in her family and the pressure of life have made her a little introverted and socially anxious.

There were bad students and hooligans outside the school who wanted to approach her because she was good-looking, but she cleverly avoided them after provoking them several times. The angry teenagers felt that they had lost face and wanted to teach Bai Tang a lesson. However, before they could take any action, they were collectively beaten up by the teachers in the school and the aunties in the street office.

The teachers and principals knew Bai Tang's specific situation. They thought that such a little girl could keep studying well in such a family environment, so they naturally treated her like a treasure and would not let bad students bully her. The aunties in the street office were even more protective of children like Bai Tang. The director of the street office said, "Youth in the jurisdiction are not allowed to become demons, and all monsters must be eliminated."

So the tragic young people inside and outside the school died before they could accomplish their mission. All of them were destroyed, their overflowing hormones were directly crushed and flattened. Those inside the school were asked to talk to their parents, and those outside the school were escorted to the police station for education.

After the end of this war without the smoke of gunpowder, few people wanted to flirt with the pretty, fair-skinned, timid girl who looked like a little white flower.

Bai Tang is good-looking, she has the same appearance as her mother Song Wei, with big, bright eyes, a small mouth and a small face, and a pure white skin. But she is a little short and thin.

At this time, Bai Tang changed out of his school uniform and wore a simple white T-shirt and shorts. He locked the door and went out to find food, humming some happy tune.

When passing by the guardhouse at the gate of the community, the guard Lao Ding, who was using the fan in the guardhouse, was shocked. He didn't even notice that his cigarette butt had fallen on the table. "This little girl is actually laughing so happily and humming a song?"

Not noticing Old Ding's astonishment at all, Bai Tang stood on the roadside at the gate of the community in high spirits, wanting to give some advice, express her emotions, and show off her generosity as a rich woman.

As a result, after standing there for a long time, he was unable to express anything. Just when he was feeling depressed, a taxi stopped in front of him with a "creak". The driver shouted cheerfully in the car: "Beautiful lady, take a taxi, where are you going?" Bai Tang held his breath in his stomach, and his face turned red.

Bai Tang hurriedly said sorry, covered his face, turned around and walked north along the roadside shops, leaving the taxi driver in confusion.

The taxi driver flipped over the rearview mirror and stroked his chin, looking at the mirror with a depressed look on his face, "Hey, girl... do I look like a bad guy?"
