Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!
Chapter 109: Because I’m Poor

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Because I’m Poor

He got up from the ground, his composure as if nothing had happened. His deep eyes swept over her, "You don’t have to be so frightening just because you walk a little heavily! Like a ghost!

"This is the boys’ room. Please knock before you enter next time!"

Yun Yue leaned against the door, her posture slack and careless, her lips curved in a slight grin, "The door wasn’t closed, and with you being so loud, I got curious and came to take a look."

"I think I heard Da’s voice!"

"I heard it too. Has Lin Xuanze Da returned?"

"Da, when will you be done with your tasks? These two are hopeless!"

Lin Xuanze’s computer was picking up the clamoring voices of disdain from Class 7.

Gu Yue: "..."

Lin Xuanze: "..."

They were done with this!

Lin Xuanze was breathing heavily through his nostrils, gritting his teeth as he looked at her, "Fine then! Since you’re back, you take over! This bunch is so tricky and constantly nitpicking. It’s infuriating!"

"We’ll see about that. I’ll take a look when I have some time. Everyone, study hard! Don’t waste my data!" Her icy voice entered the ears of the students of Class 7, sending shivers down their spines.

They felt their ends would be dire if they wasted this data.

"Everyone shut up! Listen carefully!" Gu Yue’s voice was forceful. He was already patient enough to tutor them, and yet they were picking faults.

It seemed their time spent together had made them forget what kind of person he actually was.

The chattering noises in the voice chat stopped instantly, and Lin Xuanze widened his eyes in admiration. No wonder he was the former school bully. Impressive!

Yun Yue didn’t linger to disturb them and went back to her room with her bag.

She slumped lazily in the chair, reclining at a thirty-degree angle, rocking back and forth with abandon.

She took a candy from the metal box, tossed it upwards, and her mouth deftly caught it. She chewed, her eyebrows expressive.

She shed her thick down jacket, tossing it carelessly onto the bed, and opened her computer, waiting patiently for two seconds.

The desktop background was a photo of Ruan Yingtong, taken at her last concert. The girl in the photo had a radiant smile and exuded confidence all over. She liked it, so she used it as her computer’s wallpaper.

She typed on the keyboard slowly, her eyes squinting slightly, radiating a lazy vibe.

A map appeared on the computer screen with red dots on it. She zoomed in on the map and precisely pinpointed various streets and neighborhoods. She sent this interface to Wei Guohang.

"Latest data, find someone to handle it yourself."

Wei Guohang: "OK"

She lazily got up, then went to the washroom with her pajamas. When she came out, her hair was dripping wet, and she wrapped it casually in a towel.

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Xiang stood at the entrance holding a cup of hot milk, smiling warmly.

"A cup of hot milk for the night."

"Thank you," Yun Yue replied resignedly, taking the cup from her. Lin Xiang had been making her hot milk every night, but it was indeed just as she said, the quality of her sleep had improved.

Lin Xiang watched her finish the milk, took the cup back, and looked at her tightly wrapped hair, smiling with a gentle warmth, "Remember to dry your hair properly. It’s easy to catch a cold."

She responded half-heartedly, and only then did Lin Xiang leave with a smile.

She closed the door, sat back down at the desk, and started working again.

The next morning.

She stood in front of the sink, looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her hair had been cut short, and she wasn’t used to letting it down, so she managed to tie it up into a bun.

After washing her face with cold water, she carelessly wiped her hands over her body and strolled downstairs with her hands in her pockets, exuding a lazy vibe.

"Yeah, senior year is so pressing, who knows when school will even start," Lin Xiang said, sitting on the sofa talking on the phone, with a hint of regret.

"Our two kids are even harder to manage, never worried about their studies, but ours is so mischievous, if we don’t keep an eye on him, he’ll never study on his own."

"Yeah, yeah, I heard your Yueyue has no time lately, it’s all Gu Yue and Lin Xuanze helping them catch up. My kid is going crazy listening to them—it seems not just anyone can motivate my dumb son; it’ll take Yun Yue to do that."

"Yeah, my kid’s always going on about the ’big shot,’ never seen him like someone this much."

She was on a group voice call on speakerphone, elegantly seated on the couch doing her nails, her gentle face beaming with smiles.

"Yueyue’s really busy indeed. I’ll ask her when she has some free time."

"Mrs. Lin, you’ve got to ask her properly, my boy only listens to her, not even his dad’s words."

Yun Yue brought a cup of hot water from the kitchen, and all their words drilled into her ears, her mouth twitching slightly.

She felt a bit like a kindergarten teacher—were they entrusting their children to her care?

After hanging up, Lin Xiang’s smiling face was radiant, and she couldn’t stop the glee—she used to worry that Yueyue wasn’t good enough in her studies and had no talents, afraid that people would look down on her.

Now she wished she could use a megaphone to tell her friends and relatives that her Yueyue was top of the grade with a 745 score and also a medical worker who could heal and save lives—whose child could be as incredible as her Yueyue?

She held her delicate manicure up to admire from every angle, feeling beautiful and full of smiles.

Beside her, Liu Lanfang sat watching TV, her gaze drifting towards Lin Xiang, a bit too pleased with herself.

She carried her cup upstairs, sitting carelessly on the chair. Her slender fingers accessed Golden Net. She wouldn’t take jobs that required going out, but remote jobs she could do, and she even went on Hacker Alliance and Silver Network to take on tasks.

All three websites exploded.

She needed money.

Money gave her a sense of security.

[What’s with Y taking these petty jobs from Silver Network?!]

[Forget about Golden Net, even the higher-paying jobs on Silver Net have been swept up by her, and she’s taken several tough tasks from Hacker Alliance that have been hanging for ages without completion, the price has multiplied several times over—if Y can finish them, it’s a huge profit.]

The neglected cell phone on the side lit up—a call from an anonymous number came through. Yun Yue raised her brows, lazily leaned back against the chair, her hair exuding a rebellious wildness.

The call was from Hacker Alliance.

Wu Yi: "What are you up to? You either stay away completely or cause an earthquake when you do show up!"

Now it’s all over the scene that Y doesn’t follow the rules of the game, even taking tasks from Silver Network.

Yun Yue narrowed her eyes and said arrogantly, "Tasks posted up are meant to be taken—I didn’t steal or rob them; it’s their fault for not being as good as me."

Wu Yi: "..."

Only you could say something so shameless yet so confident.

"Speaking of which, how come you’ve started taking jobs? You used to refuse them no matter what," Wu Yi was quite curious.

"I’m broke!" she declared, legs crossed, posture relaxed, her eyelids fluttering with an air of nonchalant roguishness.

"... " Wu Yi was momentarily speechless—with one of her jobs worth thousands or even billions, and yet she was claiming poverty.

That Ghost Doctor job a while back was worth 10 billion; surely it couldn’t have been spent so quickly.

But he was still very glad to see her take on more jobs—the more she earned, the more he earned, a win-win situation. His eyes squinted happily, "Being broke is good—spend more, and come take on more tasks from me. I warmly welcome it."

"Sure, keep an eye out for any big jobs for me, I won’t say no to any," she said, lips curving as she watched the commission payment notification come in, her amusement deepening.
