Chapter 287 I'm Rich!
Rui Rui, who was sitting on the carpet fiddling with her erhu, turned around when she heard the noise.
"dad."
Gu Suixing: "You disturbed your mother's sleep."
Rui Rui immediately put down her erhu.
He threw the seven-figure musical instrument onto the carpet with a "thud".
Gu Suixing: "Go wash up."
Rui Rui got up, without even putting on her shoes, and ran to Gu Suixing with her short legs, hugging his leg tightly. "Daddy, good morning, I love you."
"Good morning. Daddy doesn't love you today either." Gu Suixing bent down and picked up Rui Rui.
"It's okay. Rui Rui loves you." Rui Rui hugged Gu Suixing's neck and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
Although his "overnight" mouth wasn't spoiled, that didn't stop Gu Suixing from disliking him.
Entering the bathroom, Gu Suixing placed him on a small stool.
Rui Rui didn't reach for her toothbrush and cup, but turned to Gu Suixing and said, "Daddy, pee."
Gu Suixing: "Pull it yourself."
Rui Rui pointed innocently to her fair, delicate feet, "I'm not wearing shoes."
"..."
"I love you, Dad."
Your love is such a hassle.
Gu Suixing scoffed and carried him to pee.
It was still early, so the father and son finished washing up and went back to Rui Rui's room.
On his birthday, Rui Rui received many gifts, which he unwrapped and piled up in his room, resulting in his room being covered with toys.
Gu Suixing asked him, "Can't you tidy up?"
Rui Rui was getting dressed when she heard this and turned around to ask, "Where do I put it?"
Gu Suixing glanced at the room's furnishings.
There's really nowhere to put it.
I made a cabinet to store the toys, but there are too many toys, so it's not enough to hold them all.
Gu Suixing: "Put the ones you don't want to play with in the empty cabinet downstairs."
Once the mansion is renovated, there won't be a shortage of storage space. For now, we can only leave it like this.
Rui Rui: "Okay."
Gu Suixing walked over, picked up the erhu, and casually strummed it a few times.
A sound like sawing wood rang out.
Rui Rui: "Daddy is so stupid."
Gu Suixing chuckled and examined the erhu for a moment.
When the instrument is played again, melodious music begins to play.
Rui Rui's eyes gradually widened, and her mouth opened wide as well.
Gu Jinhong couldn't play the erhu, but Gu Zhenjun could. Gu Zhenjun would naturally teach his son a thing or two. However, when Gu Suixing was little, he thought only old men played the erhu; it had neither elegance nor power, so he only learned it for a while before giving up.
Having not played this thing for over a decade, Gu Suixing didn't remember much. He played it for a short while and then stopped.
Gu Suixing put down the bow.
"Slap, slap, slap—"
A round of applause came from the doorway.
The father and son turned to look at each other at the same time.
Lu Fengqing stood at the door clapping, her face expressionless. "Beautiful. If our family goes bankrupt in the future, you two can still perform on the streets."
"..."
The weather was starting to get cooler. After sending Rui Rui to kindergarten, Gu Suixing went to work, while Lu Fengqing returned to Xingheli to tidy up the house, throwing the family's dirty clothes into the washing machine, putting away the summer clothes and taking out the winter clothes.
Lu Fengqing was exhausted from working from morning till afternoon, her back aching.
She'll leave things as they are in Xingheli, but once she moves to the mansion, she'll definitely hire a whole house full of servants!
Lu Fengqing struggled to get up, opened the cold takeout, and had only taken two bites when she received a call from Huo Huaisui.
"Recite, recite..."
Lu Fengqing: "What's wrong?"
"I..." Huo Huai Sui's murmured voice came through, "I sent it."
Lu Fengqing: "Have you gone mad? Haven't you always been pretty mad?"
Huo Huaisui: "..."
"No!" Huo Huai Sui took a deep breath and shouted, "I said, I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm rich!"
"..."
Lu Fengqing rubbed her ears, took the phone away, pressed the speakerphone button, put the phone on the table, and continued eating her takeout.
"Niannian, I won the lottery."
Even through the phone, Lu Fengqing could feel Huo Huaisui's joy at that moment.
Lu Fengqing asked, amused, "What prize did you win?"
Huo Huaisui spoke rapidly: "A fully furnished 280-square-meter apartment in Lanjiang New City!"
"?" Why does that sound so familiar?
Soon, Huo Huai Sui explained to her: "I won the retweet lottery event that Gu's Group launched on Weibo!"
Lu Fengqing remembered, and after a moment of silence, said, "Congratulations."
Perhaps fools are blessed; Huo Huaisui's luck has always been pretty good, but Lu Fengqing never expected it to be this good.
That Weibo post was forwarded over ten million times in less than twelve hours. Being selected out of tens of millions of people is incredibly lucky.
"Thank you, thank you." Huo Huai Sui was excited for a while, then suddenly became dejected. "But I have no money."
Lu Fengqing: "What money?"
Huo Huaisui: "The money for taxes."
She didn't do well in school, but she wasn't ignorant of the law.
All winnings from a lottery are subject to a 20% individual income tax, calculated as "incidental income".
Gifts given by companies are taxed based on the market price of the product. She had already checked; the market price of a 280-square-meter apartment in Lanjiang New City was 14.84 million yuan, requiring a tax payment of 2.968 million yuan…
Eight thousand yuan is fine, sixty thousand yuan is also acceptable, but that's 2.96 million!
Even if you kill her, she still won't be able to come up with 2.96 million!
Lu Fengqing: "...Ask Huai'an for it."
"No!" Huo Huai Sui refused without even thinking. "Whether that stingy guy would lend me the money is another matter. Even if he did, given his unwillingness to suffer a loss, I might end up losing money again. I'm not going to borrow from him."
That's reasonable and well-founded. Lu Fengqing continued to offer suggestions: "Ask Uncle Huo or your mother."
The Huo family is not short of money; three million is something they can easily come up with.
Huo Huaisui thought for a moment, "That makes sense."
Forget about her mom; she might not even be able to contact her. She could try her dad, though. He's quite generous and loves her. If it weren't for that bastard brother of hers keeping a close eye on her, taking away anything she got her hands on, she wouldn't be so poor.
"Hehehe~" Huo Huai Sui was getting happier and happier as he thought about owning his own house soon. "Niannian, I'm going to claim my prize. I'll invite you over when I get the house."
Lu Fengqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay."
When Lu Fengqing went to pick up Gu Suixing from get off work at Gu's company, she brought up this matter with him.
Gu Suixing was also somewhat surprised, "Such good luck?"
Lu Fengqing: "She's always been lucky."
It's just that it's always in weird and unusual places.
Gu Suixing: "You are luckier than her."
Lu Fengqing met his gaze, quickly realized what he meant, and laughed out loud, "Stop trying to glorify yourself."
Gu Suixing smiled and said, "If she can really find a way to pay the taxes and buy that house, I'll have Huai'an pay for the renovations."
Lu Fengqing smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Sui Sui will be overjoyed to hear that."
Gu Suixing had arranged to have dinner with the Xie family tonight. The two picked up Rui Rui from the training institution and drove to the Xie residence.
As she drew closer to the Xie residence, the smile in Lu Fengqing's eyes faded.
