Huayu, my cheat code is a bit strange.

Chapter 59 No Fooling Around, No Die (Please read on, please recommend, please do everything!)

The hotel room was blasting cool air from the air conditioner.

Liu Yifei, dressed in a pink T-shirt and white shorts, sat cross-legged on Gu Xiao's bed without any hesitation, her bright eyes fixed on the tickets in her hand.

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen a winning lottery ticket!"

She spoke excitedly, swaying from side to side, her whole being extremely excited.

Gu Xiaogang had just finished showering and was drying her wet hair with a towel as she walked out of the bathroom.

Seeing Liu Yifei staring intently at the lottery ticket, he gently reminded her:
"Don't break it."

"how did you do that?"

She finally raised her head, her eyes shining with disbelief. "Thirteen rounds! You guessed them all right! This is much harder than getting first place in the art exam, isn't it?"

Gu Xiao walked to the bedside, draped a towel over the back of the chair, and casually said, "Just lucky."

"How can this be luck!"

Liu Yifei clearly didn't believe him. She knelt up and waved the lottery ticket in front of him. "Do you have some inside information? Tell me!"

Gu Xiao chuckled and reached for the lottery ticket, saying, "I've been on set the whole time, how could I possibly have any inside information?"

Liu Yifei pulled her wrist away, avoiding his hand, and held the lottery ticket to her chest like a precious treasure, winking mischievously.

"That's hard to say. Anyway, you're a millionaire now! You have to treat us!"

Gu Xiao looked at her greedy expression and shook her head with amusement:

"Sure, but you have to withdraw the money first."

"Right, we need to go claim the prize first!"

Liu Yifei suddenly realized what was happening, and then nervously checked the lottery ticket over and over again, "It's not expired, is it? Should we go now?"

Gu Xiao leaned against the table and said slowly, "I'll have Auntie accompany me in a few days."

"Mother?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head, somewhat puzzled, but quickly realized that Gu Xiao was still a minor. Her eyes lit up, and she said sweetly, "Then I want to go too!"

Gu Xiao was a little puzzled, "What are you going to do?"

Liu Yifei hugged her pillow, her chin slightly raised: "I don't care, I'm going."

"Where's the film crew?" Gu Xiao asked.

Liu Yifei waved her hand dismissively: "I've almost finished filming my scenes, what's wrong with taking a day off?"

Gu Xiao's expression was strange. "Are you sure you can take leave?"

According to his observation, film crews are not such humane places.

Liu Yifei clicked her tongue and said sweetly, "You don't understand the privileges of girls."

Seeing Gu Xiao's frustrated expression, she suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

So this is what it feels like to be perfunctory with others. Liu Yifei couldn't help but bury her head in the pillow, her shoulders shaking slightly as she giggled.

Gu Xiao looked at her laughing hysterically on the bed and shook his head helplessly.

He really doesn't understand women's thoughts.

……

……

Stepping out of the ICBC gate, Gu Xiao faced the blazing sunlight and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The bank card felt heavy in my pocket, with four million after taxes lying quietly inside.

Four months have passed since I traveled through time, and I've gone from having to carefully budget my taxi fares to now being able to buy at least ten cars. This tremendous leap in wealth is truly astounding.

Liu Xiaoli walked to Gu Xiao's side, looking at the boy in front of her with a complicated expression:
"This is no small amount of money. Are you really not going to tell your family?"

Gu Xiao gave a helpless smile:
"If my dad knew I had over four million in my account, he would go crazy."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoli nodded inwardly; if she were in that position, she would also go crazy.

Considering Gu Xiaoyuan's maturity beyond his years, she didn't say anything more.

The two walked towards a roadside café, the early summer breeze rustling through the treetops. After a moment of silence, Liu Xiaoli turned her head to look directly at Gu Xiao, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry:

"Xiao Gu, can I ask you a question?"

Gu Xiao was taken aback. "Please speak."

"Why do you trust me so much?"

Liu Xiaoli frowned slightly. "Four million is no small sum. You've asked me to come with you to claim the prize. Aren't you afraid I'll take the tickets and then deny them?"

Why trust them so much?

Gu Xiao pondered for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I really can't think of a reason to ask you that, but I also can't think of a reason not to trust you."

Perhaps it was indifference, perhaps it was the celebrity effect, or perhaps something else. He genuinely never considered that Liu Xiaoli had cheated him out of lottery tickets.

This thing is ultimately just a piece of paper.

It's nice to receive money, but it doesn't matter if you don't.

To put it bluntly, with his foresight and his knack for making money, it's the easiest thing for him in this life.

Liu Xiaoli stared blankly at Gu Xiaoping's calm profile and sighed inwardly.

She felt that her daughter was unlikely to make it out.

The two walked silently along the tree-lined path and soon arrived at an elegant coffee shop.

The shop is small, but tastefully decorated, with soothing jazz music playing in the air.

Liu Yifei sat listlessly in a corner booth, holding a steaming cup of milk in her hands, sipping it slowly. Her face was pale, and she had completely lost her usual energy.

She tried to use her "girl privilege" to ask for leave, and she succeeded. However, the privilege was granted prematurely, leaving her feeling uncomfortable and frustrated.

"Is this what they call 'If you don't court death, you won't die'?"

Gu Xiao walked over and sat down opposite her, teasingly saying in a low voice, "You got your comeuppance for lying, didn't you?"

Liu Yifei gritted her teeth in anger, but she was too weak to argue with him. All she could do was raise her wet eyes and glare at him.

Liu Xiaoli also felt that her daughter deserved it, but she was still her own flesh and blood, and seeing her like this, she felt sorry for her and tried to comfort her:

"Let's eat another day. Let's go back to the hotel and get some rest today."

"do not want!"

Liu Yifei muttered to herself, "I've been looking forward to this for days."

She had previously vowed to rip off Gu Xiao, this newly minted millionaire, in a hearty meal.

"Let's do it another day."

Gu Xiao softened her tone a bit, "Don't worry, you know my home address. You can run away, but you can't hide."

Liu Yifei thought about it and felt that what he said made sense.

She snorted, her voice weak and feeble, yet she still tried to argue her point:

"You said it yourself. Well, you stood me up this time, so you have to treat me to two meals later."

Where's the logic in that? Is New York high school education really that bad? Gu Xiao thought to herself, but nodded calmly on the surface.

"Okay, two meals it is, you choose the location."

Liu Yifei was happy to receive the promise.

She tried to straighten her back and show her authority as the "creditor," but a sharp pain in her lower abdomen made her slump back down, only managing to utter a gurgling "That's more like it."

Liu Xiaoli watched the two interact, feeling both amused and sorry for them.

This was the first time Gu Xiao had seen Liu Yifei like this. Just as she felt a pang of regret that her phone didn't have a camera function, the phone in her arms suddenly vibrated.

He opened the call and saw it was from Zhou Xiaowen. After answering the call, he fell silent.

Liu Yifei asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Gu Xiao glanced at her and said:

"The auditions for the Tianlong production team have begun."
