Wen Li's answer was exactly what Huo Yinghuai expected.

He was annoyed that he had neglected Wen Li these past few days because he was busy with work, so he said, "I'll go with you to the bank tomorrow to open a bank account, and I'll transfer your allowance to your account then."

Rather than having Wen Li work, Huo Yinghuai felt that the young girl should go to school.

However, he occasionally learned from Wen Li that she had never attended school normally, so he was not in a hurry and planned to find a few well-regarded tutors to come to his home in a couple of days.

Huo Yinghuai's words did not excite Wen Li this time. On the contrary, Wen Li was somewhat conflicted. "My master said that one should not accept rewards without merit. I cannot accept other people's money casually."

“You saved me, so it’s not like I’m being undeserving of a reward,” Huo Yinghuai said softly.

Wen Li looked at Huo Yinghuai expectantly, but still shook her head: "You've already paid it back."

Seeing that Huo Yinghuai didn't understand, Wen Li reminded him, "Although I saved you, you let me live in such a nice villa and even helped me find my biological parents, so I can't take your money anymore."

Heaven knows how much she wanted the pocket money Huo Yinghuai gave her!

However, her karmic ties with the other party had already been resolved, and accepting the money would be detrimental to both of them.

"If you really want to give it to me, it's not impossible."

As Wen Li spoke, she took out a multicolored jade pendant from around her neck. The quality of the jade was not very good, but the carved pattern was very detailed. Strange patterns were carved on the rectangular jade.

Huo Yinghuai didn't know any of this, but seeing how much Wen Li treasured it, she guessed that it was very important to her.

Sure enough, he heard Wen Li say, "This was passed down to me by my master. Although it is a piece of carved jade, you have a strong aura of malevolence on you, and it can save your life in a critical moment."

After saying that, Wen Li couldn't wait to give the jade pendant to Huo Yinghuai.

She felt like she'd hit the jackpot!

Little did Huo Yinghuai know that he was holding a warm jade pendant in his hand, and his heart was slightly stirred.

This jade pendant is probably the only valuable thing Wen Li owns, and now she's giving it to him.

Huo Yinghuai lowered his dark eyes slightly, but said, "How could it be jade carving? This piglet is carved so lifelike, it even looks a bit like a person."

It's always been pigs that have become spirits.

Wen Li: "This is my ancestor!"

——

Perhaps feeling guilty for saying that Master Wen Li looked like a pig yesterday, Huo Yinghuai delivered the bank card to Wen Li's room early the next day.

When Wen Li checked her balance, she discovered that there was a million yuan neatly laid out on her phone screen!

Wen Li was so frightened that she almost dropped her phone.

She ran downstairs quickly to find Huo Yinghuai: "Why are there so many? Did you dial the wrong number?"

"Hmm?" Huo Yinghuai was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast. When he saw Wen Li come over, he specially served her a bowl of millet porridge and placed it next to her: "There was no mistake. This is what you deserve. You will receive it every month from now on."

He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he always had trouble sleeping at night. However, last night, wearing the jade pendant that Wen Li had given him, he slept better than he had in years.

"But this is too much!"

A whole million!

Although Wen Li said this, she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

With so much money, why would she need to look for a job? She needs to go to the CBD of City A right now and buy a shop immediately!

Wen Li wanted to go out, and Huo Yinghuai also wanted to go to the company after finishing his meal, so the two of them took the same car and went out.

This was Wen Li's first time visiting Huo Yinghuai's company. She was stunned by the towering, azure-blue building.

"This is your company?!"

Seeing that Wen Li's head was almost tilted back, Huo Yinghuai gently supported the back of Wen Li's head and calmly hummed in agreement.

Then she noticed that Wen Li's gaze towards him had brightened even more, as if it were filled with adoration.

After entering the company, Huo Yinghuai had his assistant bring over a fruit platter and a cake. Wen Li had only hitched a ride, but upon seeing Huo Yinghuai's company, she couldn't resist going inside to take a look.

She was thinking that after buying the shop, she could refer to Huo Yinghuai's company.

But once she saw the fruit platter and cake, she couldn't tear herself away.

Huo Yinghuai said, "Let's finish eating before we leave."

Wen Li nodded like a chick pecking at rice, then sat on the sofa and ate her cake.

After finishing her meal, Wen Li patted her white dress and said, "I'm done eating, I'm leaving now."

Huo Yinghuai still had a meeting, so he didn't ask Wen Li where she was going. Instead, he said, "Let's go home together tonight."

Wen Li nodded.

She's a rich woman now, but every penny she spends is precious, so she has to be careful with her money.

So it's better to take the free bus.

However, half an hour later, when Huo Yinghuai returned from the meeting, he saw Wen Li sitting on the sofa looking like a wilted eggplant.

"Why are you back again?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Li looked at him with a sad and resentful expression, then let out a long sigh: "I originally wanted to buy a shop."

Although the Taoist temple cannot be opened for the time being, she can buy a shop to use as a donation shop first, and when she has more money in the future, she can build a Taoist temple next to it.

But who knew that housing prices in City A would be so high!

One million isn't even enough for a down payment, let alone rent!

After listening to Wen Li's complaints, even the usually composed Huo Yinghuai couldn't help but raise his voice a few decibels: "You want to open an incense shop in the business center?"

Even though it hasn't come true yet, Huo Yinghuai immediately pictured a shop full of paper offerings and coffins appearing near the company.

Not only did it seem out of place, but it also looked rather eerie.

The problem was that the young girl in front of him was completely unaware of the issue and nodded matter-of-factly: "I see that there is a lot of foot traffic nearby, so there will definitely be many customers."
