Chapter 110 - Say it Again?!

Chapter 110 – Say it Again?!

After returning home, Xia Ping saw a familiar figure busying themselves in the kitchen and sensed the smell of delicious food coming from the dining room. The person is his mother, Huang Lanxin.

“Mom, you were discharged from hospital?” Xia Ping cried out in surprise.

Huang Lanxin smiled: “Yes, I’m fine already. The hospital’s nutrient solution treatment is really good. The doctor told me to stay in the hospital for a couple more days, but I didn’t want to. I chose to be discharged.”

Xia Ping found that his mother’s complexions looks good and her movement is smooth. She was evidently completely cured. Furthermore, she’s in a better state than she was before. The money was not spent in vain.

“However, the medical expenses were really high — several hundred thousand.” When she thought about the money that was spent, Huang Lanxin felt heartache. Except for the time when the apartment was bought, she has never spent so much money in her life.

Xia Ping hit his chest: “It’s all right. I may not have any merits, but I can make money.”

“Just keep boasting.”

Upon hearing this, sitting at the dining table, his father, Xia Chuanliu, uttered with a look of derision on his face: “You have another advantage, that is, you have thick skin. And you have 30% of your dad’s skill.”

“Aren’t you just boasting yourself?” Dissatisfied, Huang Lanxin glared at Xia Chuanliu, “If our son hadn’t provided the money, would you be able to procure several hundred thousand credits on your own? After working for more than 20 years, you can’t even earn as much as our son earns in a year.”

She is aware that her son paid the medical expenses. Xia Chuanliu told her everything.

When Xia Chuanliu heard this, he seems to have been greatly hurt and didn’t say anything else, distraught. The fact that he can’t make as much money as his son is a great loss of face.

“Mom, don’t be like that. Dad’s ability to spend money is still okay.” Xia Ping gave his father a verbal jab.

Huang Lanxin snorted: “Spending money on smoking, gambling, and playing mahjong, I know all about it. This wastrel.”

“Cough cough.”

If things continue like this, Xia Chuanliu feels like his position as the head of the family may be at risk. He said, “Son, let’s talk about the novel you wrote.”

“This novel is really problematic.”

“To tell you the truth, after learning that you wrote a novel, I gave it a try.

Xia Ping blinked: “Dad, what’s the problem?”

“What’s the problem, you say? There’s a big problem.”

Xia Chuanliu showed a sorrowful and aggrieved expression: “Son, I know your situation. There is a female teacher in your class and she’s the homeroom teacher. She is young and beautiful and has a good figure. In fact, she looks like a celebrity.”

“But she’s a teacher. And you, how old are you? Things between you two can’t work. Student-teacher romance has no future. Son, there are other fish in the sea.”

He tried to persuade his son to return to the right path.

“Dad, I…” Xia Ping was speechless.

But before Xia Ping could say anything, Xia Chuanliu waved his hand and assumed the expression of someone who had been around the block: “Son, there’s no need to say anything. I know that it’s normal for students to have a crush on beautiful teachers.”

“Back in the day, there were no beautiful young teachers in your dad’s school. They were all aunties weighing more than 200 catties. Otherwise, I may also have had a secret crush. This is what they call… springtime of youth. That’s right, it’s called springtime of youth.”

“However, you can’t get too excited. If you do, you may attack the teacher. This is a crime. You’re still young. You can’t do that, got it? It carries a minimum sentence of three years in prison.”

He gazed at his son with a stern look on his face. After reading his son’s novel, he realized that it’s not unreasonable for it to become popular.

However, the narration is too vivid. It feels like everything happened right before your eyes. If you haven’t experienced it firsthand or have’t fantasized about doing this and that with a teacher, there’s no way you would be able to write things so vividly.

Therefore, he was worried that his son might attack his teacher one day.

“Dad, you’re overthinking it.”

The corners of Xia Ping’s mouth twitched.

“Right, you were thinking about things here all day, yet you hadn’t thought of anything decent.” Huang Lanxin slapped Xia Chuanliu on the head, thinking that this guy is fooling around, “I know what sort of person my son is. He’s definitely not that brave.”

“Of course, even if he really does that sort of thing, the teacher will be the one at fault. To dress provocatively every day, if she isn’t trying to seduce the boys, then what is it? How shameless.”

Xia Chuanliu didn’t dare to say anything. He knows his wife is jealous. If things go on like this, he will have to sleep in the living room tonight. This is something he learned from experience.

“By the way, dad, I was paid the royalties a few days ago.”

Xia Ping didn’t want to continue to discuss this and thus changed the topic: “I want to use some of the money to improve our life. I wonder what you think?”

You earn money in order to buy stuff and improve your life. If you don’t spend it, then it’ll just catch dust in the bank. Moreover, his parents raised him for many years. If he didn’t have the ability, then that would be one thing. But if he has the ability yet does nothing, that wouldn’t be right.

“There’s no need. Keep it for yourself, son. We are still young and strong and don’t need our son to support us.” Huang Lanxin looked at her son kindly, satisfied with his intentions.

Xia Chuanliu was curious and asked, “Royalties? Son, how much was it?”

“It’s not much. It’s more than 50 million federal credits.” Xia Ping said casually.

Huh?!

Upon hearing the number, Xia Chuanliu inhaled a breath of cold air, opened his eyes wide, and asked in a trembling voice, “S, son, say it again, how much was the royalties?!”

Huang Lanxin was stupefied, unable to believe her ears.

“As I said, it’s more than 50 million federal credits.” Xia Ping smiled. He fished out his phone and played with it for a moment. Immediately after, a projection appeared and showed the balance in his bank account.

After seeing this scene, Xia Chuanliu and Huang Lanxin were taken aback and trembled. They have never seen such a large amount. For them, tens of thousands of federal credits was already a huge sum of money.

More than 50 million federal dollars? That’s an astronomical number!”

“Son.”

Xia Chuanliu looked up at the sky and released a long sigh: “The best investment of my, your dad’s, life was to sire you.”

“To make more than 50 million at such a young age. That’s amazing.”

“Your dad was wrong just now. Don’t you just want to pick up a beautiful teacher? That’s not a problem. Go ahead, son. Even if you pick up several beauties, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s nurses, doctors, salespeople, or stewardesses, bring a bunch of them.”

He was really emotional. His son is only 18, yet he already made so much money. And he’s still going to make more in the future. In this case, engaging in student-teacher romance is nothing. Even if he wants to raise lolis, it won’t be an issue.

Xia Ping was speechless. How many films did his father watch.

“In the future, you’ll have a dozen plus children and expand the Xia family.” Huang Lanxin nodded, an excited look on her face. She has plans for the future.

The corner’s of Xia Ping mouth twitched. He didn’t expect his mother’s attitude to changed so much. The charm of money is indeed endless.
