Chapter 225 A Simple Gift



That evening.

The Jiu siblings returned and gathered in the living room, making the house suddenly lively.

The food was prepared by both the new and old cooks. The new cook was trained by Chen Doudou, and the meal included both meat and vegetables.

Jiu Yebai pressed the remote control, changing TV channels. "Which TV stations' galas did my sister attend? Which one should we watch?"

Jiu Nanxun lay on the sofa, holding up her phone and said, "Second brother, are you stupid? Isn't it better to just search on your phone? There's a program schedule here, and the times are all staggered, so we won't miss any of the channels!"

Also, why are you only remembering my sister's performance? I participated too! Don't forget to watch mine, mine was awesome too!

Jiu Yebai said without any pressure, "You see, even if I don't say it, you won't forget yourself, so isn't it the same whether I say it or not?"

Jiu Nan Xun said angrily, "It's different! Second brother, you don't care about me!"

Jiu Yebai said, "Then let me check on you. Why are you so listless? This isn't like you."

Jiu Nanxun slumped back down. "I'm so tired. My small body is carrying pressure that I shouldn't have at this age. I'm exhausted, both physically and mentally."

Jiu Yunchi walked over, seemingly having just overheard this. He said, "Then stop singing and stop forming a band. Your student status has already been transferred to China. Choose a school, study hard, and make progress every day."

When Kunan Kaoru heard this, her head was about to explode!

The entire Jiu family are all academic geniuses with extraordinary intelligence, except for Jiu Nanxun, who doesn't seem like their biological daughter at all; she's a complete academic failure! After being a failure in Country A for so many years, is she going to come back and continue being a failure?

She struggled and said, "Big brother, I don't think I need any more treatment. Just give up on me."

Jiu Yunchi said, "Maomao is still in school."

The cat, engrossed in peeling a pomelo, said, "Yeah, I'm in school too! Exam week is coming up soon, and I have to take exams."

Ku Nanxun hesitated for a moment. Even though she knew she was a jerk, it seemed like she would have no place in this family if she didn't even finish college...

"Alright then, I'll apply to a music academy in China..." Ku Nanxun made a difficult decision.

The cat peeled the pomelo and gave one to everyone.

Jiu Yebai took a bite, and perhaps because the pomelo was so sweet, her mouth also tasted sweet. "Sister, I have a gift for you."

The cat looked at him, then held out its hand. "Give it to me."

They weren't polite at all.

Jiu Yebai pulled a card out of his wallet, placed it in the cat's hand with a smile, and looked like he wanted praise.

The cat asked, "How much money is in here?"

Jiu Yebai made a six.

The cat said, "Six million?"

Jiu Yebai shook his head smugly, "Guess again."

Cat paused for a moment. This silly little brother of hers was so smug; it couldn't be less than six million. She asked, "Sixty million?"

Jiu Yebai nodded with a smile.

Cat exclaimed in surprise, "Jiu Yebai, did you rob a bank? Or did you steal Jiu Yunchi's money?"

Jiu Yunchi slightly raised his eyelids.

Jiu Ye Baiqi said, "Can't I earn this money myself?"

The cat said, "The competitions you participated in only had incentive prizes, how could there be so much?"

Jiu Yebai crossed his long legs, sitting with an air of superiority. "This time I'll let you guess, and you'll never guess. This is indeed my prize money for the competition, but it's the prize money for the gold medal I won for designing a deep-sea radar for a scientific research project."

The cat looked Jiu Yebai up and down. "Silly little brother, you've really gone all out this time."

Jiu Yebai smiled with satisfaction, leaned closer, and added, "This isn't an academic award, and even my older brother has never touched one before. This is unique."

This time, the cat didn't discourage Jiu Yebai because the award was indeed very significant. Jiu Yebai had been quietly accomplishing great things over the past few months.

"Where's your trophy?" the cat asked.

Jiu Yebai said with a very open mind: "Upstairs, the trophy is not important, the prize money is."

The cat asked him, "Is this a gift from you?"

Jiu Yebai nodded.

The cat looked at him with a rather strange expression. "Silly little brother, if you get a girlfriend, she'll definitely like you!"

Giving money as a gift—how genuine! How simple and unpretentious!

“Of course… no, that’s nonsense,” Jiu Yebai said.

But the cat said, "I don't need money right now, Jiu Yebai, why are you giving me so much money?"

Cat Cat is indeed not short of money now. Her company is already profitable and has even begun to plan for a second investment project. If it weren't for the seasonal restrictions and the inability to supply many fruits and vegetables from Lao San in the Northwest, the second phase of the project would have started long ago.

She had already signed an investment agreement with Yingchuang, so her cash flow was very stable.

Not to mention, there are countless companies now seeking to collaborate with or invest in her.

As a celebrity, her net worth has skyrocketed, and the cat is no longer the poor cat she once was.

So her conscience finally surfaced, and she realized she didn't intend to exploit her younger siblings.

Jiu Yebai paused for a moment, clearly realizing the seriousness of the problem. Although he had finally earned a considerable amount of money, it still seemed far behind his older brother, and even far behind Maomao!

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Jiu Yebai, Maomao put down the card and started texting Mu Jin, muttering to herself, "Does everyone have to give New Year's gifts? What should I give A Jin?"

Jiu Yebai tensed up immediately, and the alarm went off right away!

He remembered that incredibly serious problem! The cat's interest in Mu Jin was incredibly persistent! What would he do if Mu Jin stole his precious young lady? What would happen to the Jiu family?

Just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm living in darkness!

Jiu Yebai suddenly shoved the card into the cat's hand, interrupting her from texting, and said seriously, "Sister, this is a gift for you. From now on, all my money will be yours. You are my sister, so you have to remember to take care of me! It's your responsibility and your obligation."

The cat patted his head. "Silly little brother, are you out of your mind? Why would I..."

Jiu Nanxun suddenly came over and, without saying a word, stuffed a card into the cat's hand, looking at her expectantly. "Sister, here's 20 million. It's a gift from me. I'm already preparing for next year's tour, and I'll give you the proceeds from the tour too. Remember to support me, okay? Best friend, forever. Let's pinky swear, sister!"

Cat: "Are you two both crazy?"

Jiu Yunchi raised his eyes, looked at them, and pondered for a moment.

"Huh..." The cat suddenly looked out the window, seemingly having noticed something. Forgetting everything else, it ran to the window, opened it, and exclaimed, "It's snowing!"

Her tone held a rare hint of surprise; this was the snow-covered beauty of the human world.

Even though she had heard of it, seen it on TV, and used artificial snow in commercials, the smell of snow coming down from the distant sky was a completely different feeling.

The earth is asleep.
