Chapter 780 Loss, Loss
"Within a week?" Ye Wanxi pondered for a moment. "That's not urgent. Let's wait and see. I'll make a decision after I've visited Zhao Yun'er's family."
Gao Min didn't have any objections to this; she asked these questions simply to sound out what the two of them were thinking.

When Ye Wanxi got home after getting off the plane, it was already late at night. Out of caution, she sent a message to Qi Yao first.
Wanxi asked with feigned regret: "Senior sister, are you there?"
The fox is a complete idiot: What are you doing out partying at night instead of sleeping? If you need something, speak up; otherwise, get lost. (slouching, looking slumped over.jpg)
Wanxi wasn't expressing regret: "Your Majesty, the order has come in. Shall we get up and have some fun?"
The fox is a complete idiot: An order came in? What kind of order? (Full of question marks on his face)
Wanxi wasn't expressing regret: A friend of mine suspects his family member has been bewitched and cursed. I figured you know more about these things than I do, so why don't we go check it out together? My friend said they wouldn't let us go for nothing; even if it has nothing to do with this, they'll still give us a red envelope with a price around this amount. We'll split the money, you get 20%, I get 80%.
Ye Wanxi didn't say this because she was stingy, but because she considered that if it weren't for this issue, Zhao Yun'er would definitely ask her more about Dou Hong, in order to find out Dou Hong's secrets and persuade her sister to turn back from the wrong path.
In the end, this matter will definitely fall on her shoulders.
Qi Yao remained silent for a long time before suddenly sending over an emoji.

Wanxi wasn't expressing regret: ? ? ?
Before Ye Wanxi could think further, Qi Yao called.
"Are you serious?"
Hearing Qi Yao's overjoyed tone, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but laugh: "Of course it's true. Do I look like the kind of person who would joke about serious matters?"
"Yes, yes, you're not, you're not..."
"So what does Senior Sister think?"
"I'll go with you, but I have conditions."
"What are the conditions?"
“If your friend’s situation has nothing to do with this, you don’t have to share with me. But if it does, we’ll split it 30/70, you get 30% and I get 70%. Also, regardless of whether I can help or not, you have to cover my travel expenses, including but not limited to transportation, accommodation, and meals.”
Now it was Ye Wanxi's turn to be full of question marks: "Senior sister, are you particularly short of money lately?"
Speaking of this, Qi Yao almost burst into tears on the spot: "I'm so poor, nobody is poorer than me."
Ye Wanxi was even more puzzled: "This doesn't make sense. Logically speaking, since you've been foolish for so long in this life, and your aunt and uncle have doted on you so much, shouldn't they give you more money now that you're better so you can enjoy life? Why does it sound like they haven't given you any money?"
"Yes, my parents, brother, and sister-in-law all gave me a lot of money. But..."
"but?"
"But I've spent it all, and I'm still broke, penniless, sob sob sob..."
That's why they say a penny can drive even a hero to his death. In his previous life, Qi Yao wasn't exactly richer than a country, but he had never encountered such a desperate situation as he was now.
"You've spent it all?" Ye Wanxi exclaimed in surprise. "How much money did your uncle, aunt, and Brother Qi give you? You've spent it all so quickly?"
Qi Yao tearfully announced a number, which made Ye Wanxi both jealous and surprised: "So much money! You spent it all? What did you do with it?"
"I can tell from what you're saying that you've never raised a child before."
"???" What does this have to do with whether I've raised children or not?
Qi Yao retorted confidently on the other end of the phone, "Don't you know the child has a nickname?"
"What nickname?"
"A four-legged gold-devouring beast!"
"..."
Ye Wanxi was a little embarrassed: "Okay, I have heard of this nickname, but Senior Sister, don't you not have a child yet? No way, it's only been a few days, and you and Third Senior Brother... have already... gotten someone pregnant?"
Qi Yao immediately exploded: "Stop having such filthy thoughts. My relationship with that bastard isn't what you think. We're not like that."
Ye Wanxi, of course, didn't believe it and teased, "If it's not that kind of relationship, then what kind of relationship is it?"
"It has nothing to do with us. I was talking about my little ones. What are you thinking!"
"Oh, it's dough."
Qi Yao: "..." Why do you sound so disappointed? Tell me honestly what you were imagining just now.
"The dough is so small, how could it cost so much money?"
"It's not just that. I've been practicing a new kind of Gu recently, and I have to spend a lot of money on it every day."
After learning that Qi Yao had regained her senses, the Qi family seemed to want to make up for all the regrets of the past twenty years by giving her a lot of money and buying her many gifts.
The difficulty lies in the fact that the things Qi Yao used to practice Gu were not ordinary items. In her previous life, it was fine because spiritual energy was abundant, and spiritual plants and stones were everywhere, so the prices were not too outrageous.
Even if all else fails, Qi Yao can still grow it herself, which naturally won't cost much.
But things are different here. In this world where even cultivators have disappeared and spiritual energy is almost nonexistent, it is nearly impossible for Qi Yao to raise a Gu as powerful as she did in her previous life.
If you can't focus on quality, you can only focus on quantity, which will surely drain her resources.
Qi Yao is an adult after all, and it's not appropriate for her to ask her parents and brother for more money once she's run out. Besides, she's not as famous as she was in her previous life, where a large group of people would rush to give her money without her having to do anything.
Qi Yao had been racking her brains over money these past few days when Ye Wanxi gave her a way to make money. How could she not be excited?
After hearing Qi Yao's words, Ye Wanxi felt deep sympathy for her.
"How about we make it 40/60, you get 40% and I get 60%?"
"That won't do. Fifty-five, that's the absolute minimum I can accept."
"Deal! It's settled then. Send me your ID number in a bit, and I'll book the tickets for you."
Qi Yao: "???" Why do I feel like I've lost out? I should have insisted earlier, what a loss!
Qi Yao quickly sent the number and arranged a meeting time.
After discussing business, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Speaking of which, is my third senior brother still with you? What has he been up to lately? Have you two...?"
Qi Yao sensed Ye Wanxi's eagerness to see a good show, and her lips twitched slightly. She said irritably, "He's your senior brother, not mine. Why don't you ask him? Why are you asking me?"
"He's my senior brother, and you're still my senior sister, right? Besides, hehe..." Ye Wanxi paused, her smile turning somewhat malicious, "Anyone with eyes can see that although my third senior brother owns quite a few businesses, his most important assets are still overseas. He hadn't really considered coming to China to develop his connections before. Suddenly he came to Z City to invest, and it just so happened that he got involved with your brother. Who is he doing this for? Senior sister, don't you really know at all?"
