My Arrogant Young Lady

"Spend it all, or you'll become numb. Your uncle has more money than you can spend, even if you spend it all the time in your life. The more money you spend, the more refined you'll become," the man in the dragon robe said with a smile.

Then, Longpao led us to choose clothes, all expensive suits. One shirt alone cost over three thousand yuan, and then Longpao made me swipe my card. My heart ached again. Next, we bought leather shoes, and Longpao helped us complete our entire outfit.

As we passed a barbershop, Longpao looked at my long hair and sighed, "It's a pity it's not the second day of the second lunar month yet, otherwise a haircut would have made me look more elegant."

Then, Longpao led us around the mall for a while. Young Master Bao, Hurricane, Lightning, Thunder, Earthfire, and Mount Everest already didn't look like ordinary people. Longpao was burly, with a gleaming bald head and a hideous scar on his face. Now, dressed in suits and wearing gold chains, we looked even less like good guys, attracting many passersby to steal glances at us.

I felt a little nervous. The man in the dragon robe beside me kept his eyes straight ahead. "How does this feel?"

"It's a little uncomfortable to be constantly watched. Uncle in the dragon robe, isn't it a bit bad that we're attracting too much attention?" I asked.

"Once you've tasted the feeling of being high-profile, you'll gradually come to appreciate being low-profile. Right now you might look like a nouveau riche, but slowly you'll become an aristocrat," the dragon robe said.

"Oh." I nodded gently.

"Can you drive?" the dragon robe asked me.

"Yeah. Di Huo taught me how to drive a while ago, but I'm not very good at it yet, and I don't have a driver's license," I said.

"You just need to know how to drive. Your uncle has a Ferrari in his underground garage. You can just drive it away later," Longpao said.

"Holy crap..." Upon hearing Long Pao's words, Young Master Bao's eyes immediately filled with admiration. Then he nudged Lu Zhicheng and said, "Young Master Lu, did you see that? This is a real young master. Damn, he's so rich! When can I drive one too..."

"You're not bad, kid. Follow Wang Xi and you'll both be able to drive one someday." The man in the dragon robe smiled.

"Really!" Upon hearing Longpao's words, Young Master Bao was overjoyed.

In the evening, we were brought back by Longpao. He was dressed in a sharp suit, a gold chain around his neck, and on his wrists a nine-eyed dzi bead and a Rolex gold watch—gifts from my mother. He wore three gemstone rings on his left index and ring fingers, and his right index finger. My current look was somewhat similar to my younger brother, Wang Huan, but I looked even more extravagant. Afraid of being seen by Xi'er, Zhang Xuan, and An Yao, I quickly ran into my room as soon as I entered the living room.

But soon my uncle came in. He grabbed my ear and said angrily, "What are you hiding for? Are you afraid to see people looking like this? You just look a bit like a nouveau riche, slowly turning into an aristocrat."

"Uncle, I can't really accept this look right now. Can you let me get used to it slowly?" I said.

"How much did you spend today?" the uncle asked after thinking for a moment.

“This number…” I held up one finger.

"So little?" My uncle was furious when he heard what I said.

"Uncle, that's already a lot. My face is so red now. Can you let me get used to it slowly?" I pleaded with my uncle.

"Heh, where does elegance come from without spending money? Elegance is something that needs to be cultivated with money. How could the nephew of Emperor Zhao be so lacking in refinement? Before midnight tonight, I order you to spend another million, or don't come back." My uncle gave me a disdainful look and left.

After my uncle left, I felt a sudden sense of helplessness. My uncle was so good to me, truly so good. Before, when I lived with my aunt, she would scold my uncle severely if I spent even a penny more than necessary. But now, at my uncle's house, I get scolded even if I spend less money.

How am I supposed to spend a million before midnight...?

Chapter 140 The Battle of the Tycoons

Time ticked by, and I sat in the room, utterly at a loss. Young Master Bao, Lu Zhicheng, Tianlei, Dihuo, Hurricane, and Lightning all surrounded me, offering their advice. Even Mount Everest said to me, "Young Master, why don't you go out and buy another jade pendant? Those jade pendants are very expensive. Wang You has a valuable jade pendant; wearing one would make you look even more distinguished."

“How much is a jade pendant worth? The best jade pendant we can buy here is only a few hundred thousand. Why not just give it to me? A million will be gone in no time,” said Young Master Bao.

After listening to what Mount Everest and Young Master Bao said, I sighed and said, "My uncle told me to spend the money, but not to give it away. Also, I already have enough jewelry; if I buy another jade pendant, I'll look like a jewelry seller..."

“That’s true…” After hearing my words, Young Master Bao and Mount Everest nodded gently.

"Brother Xi, how about we go out for another drink? And then find a bunch of pretty women?" Lu Zhicheng asked me.

"Go to the best KTV, find the prettiest women, 500 yuan an hour is enough. Open a bottle of the best Lafite we can buy, that'll cost over 7,000 yuan. And if we spend all the money on alcohol, how much will we drink? I can't take it anymore, I drank all night last night, and I only slept this morning before my uncle woke me up, I really don't want to drink anymore." I quickly shook my head.

"Young Master, a million is a lot to spend. You can buy a luxury car, a villa, and spend it all in no time," Lightning suggested to me.

"Lightning. Emperor Zhao ordered the heir to spend the money before midnight. It's almost nine o'clock now. At this hour, where can you still find villas and luxury cars for sale?" Earthfire said, pursing his lips.

"My God, wouldn't it be incredibly difficult to spend a million dollars in three hours?" Lightning's eyes were filled with confusion.

Seeing that everyone was at a loss, I glanced at my watch and grew increasingly anxious. After a moment's thought, I took out my phone and scrolled through my WeChat contacts. It seemed my only recourse was to turn to the most notorious playboy I knew. Perhaps only he could manage to spend a million in three hours.

My old phone broke, and I hadn't saved his number. I tried sending him a voice call, and he answered very quickly.

"Hahaha, it's our young master. What's wrong, young master? I heard Wang You and Liuli are here to kill you? You don't want me to help you, do you? Let me tell you, I absolutely cannot help Wang You and Liuli. They are too strong. Going against them is simply courting death. Helping you would definitely mean my death. You might as well just kill me..." came the voice of the kind-hearted man from the other end.

"I didn't ask you for help. What good are you anyway? It's something else." Seeing how disloyal this good Samaritan was, I angrily lit a cigarette.

"What's wrong?" Little Good Guy asked me.

"It's like this, my uncle has been acting strangely these past few days, insisting that I spend money. He gets upset if I don't spend enough. He just gave me a task: to spend one million before midnight..." I quickly told Xiao Haoren about my uncle's situation on the phone.

As expected, the "good boy" was a spoiled brat; he didn't seem surprised at all by what I said. After a while, he thought for a moment and said to me, "I understand. Your uncle wants you to spend one million before midnight, but you can't give that money away. You want to make sure it's worthwhile, right?"

"Yes, is there any way?" I asked.

After hearing my words, the kind-hearted boy smiled and said, "Your uncle is the top big brother in the provincial capital, and also the richest local tyrant in our area. No matter how much you spend his money, you can never run out. Living with your uncle, your material comforts are definitely abundant. Luxury cars, watches, jewels, suits, you must have them all now. Since you have enough material enjoyment, you need some spiritual enjoyment."

"Mental enjoyment?" I frowned.

"Hehe, you haven't experienced what it's like to be rich yet, and you don't know how much influence money has. But once you experience a different feeling with money, you'll start to enjoy spending it. How about this, I'll teach you a few simple ways to spend money."

"Go gamble, go to a nightclub, ask the manager to find a bunch of beautiful women, and make them drink as much as they want. Those women are out there to make money. As long as you have enough money, they'll even kneel in front of you. Just imagine, you're showering red banknotes on the sky, and a bunch of long-legged beauties are kneeling in front of you. How does that feel?" The good guy grinned lewdly.

"This..." After hearing what the little good guy said, I didn't know what to say.

"If you have enough money, even the most beautiful women will kneel before you! You're too low-key right now, you haven't shown your rich side yet. Once you show off your red banknotes, you'll know how many beautiful women love you so much. Also, go out on the street now, and if you see someone you don't like, give them money and make them call you 'Dad.' If 100,000 isn't enough, give them a million; if a million isn't enough, give them ten million. Just pick people you don't like and give them money, I guarantee you'll be thrilled," said the "good guy."

“That won’t do either. These are all too insulting. Besides, not everyone is like you say, right?” I said.

"Heh, do you believe it or not? Give me a hundred million and I'll call you 'Dad' every day I see you? Damn it, I'm desperately short of money right now, and you're worried about having too much money!" the good guy suddenly shouted.

"Get lost, who wants a useless son like you? You better think of another way, or it'll be too late if we don't spend the money soon," I said.

"You country bumpkin, then go play with those female streamers. There's nowhere to spend money in your uncle's second- or third-tier city at this time of year. Playing with female streamers is what all the nouveau riche in second- and third-tier cities like to do. Just give them a few tips and you'll see, your million won't be enough." Two sweet, coquettish female voices suddenly came from the other end of the line, and the good-natured guy immediately hung up the phone.

"How dare you call me a nouveau riche! You're asking for trouble!" I glanced at the phone after the good guy hung up and stubbed out my cigarette in annoyance.

I guess my friend is having some kind of party again; he's very busy right now. But it was me who called. Even though he was in a hurry, he still chatted with me for a while.

I felt like the kind person was just going through the motions, not really offering advice or helping me spend money. But time was running out, so I had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

I turned on the computer in the room and asked Bao Shao and Lu Zhicheng, "Bao Shao, Lu Zhicheng, do you think watching female live streamers is really expensive?"

"It's burning money, it's incredibly burning money. Damn, Brother Xi, if you and some rich guy didn't get along, you might not even be able to afford to throw out a million dollars." Young Master Bao quickly said.

"Really?" I asked.

“Seriously, I played it for a while before, threw in 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and didn’t even see a female streamer’s shadow. They just wanted my WeChat account and kept asking me for money. Anyway, your uncle is just telling you to spend money, so you might as well finish the task first and we can think of a good way to spend it tomorrow,” said Young Master Bao.

"kindness……"

After listening to Young Master Bao's words, I asked which was the largest live streaming platform. Then I registered an account on the largest live streaming platform. When I was thinking about the name, I thought I would call myself "Young Master".

But after watching the live streamers for a while—the guys for a bit, the girls for a bit—I didn't know any of them, and I didn't want to spend money on any of them. Although my uncle told me to spend all my money before midnight, wasting it like this felt a little painful. After thinking for a moment, I turned to Bao Shao and asked, "Is Shan Shan from our school also a live streamer?"

"Haha, that Shanshan is really pretty. Brother Xi, some of the top streamers usually go live around 9 pm. Let's look for her. Shanshan can earn enough for a BMW in a year, so she's a pretty good streamer. Let's find her and show off to her!" Young Master Bao lit a cigarette and grinned mischievously.

"Hmm, let me see..."

"Thank you for the 188, big brother." On the computer screen, a sweet-looking girl made a fist-and-palm gesture. Because she was going to perform, the girl had specially put on light makeup today. She was already outstanding in appearance, but with light makeup, she looked even more beautiful.

She earned 300 yuan in less than 20 minutes of broadcasting, which was already a good result for her. But when she saw an extra person in the VIP section, her heart gradually sank.

This is one of her wealthy patrons, who has already tipped her 30,000 yuan in a month. His ultimate goal is to possess her body.

Because of her modest family background, she joined the ranks of female live streamers to earn some pocket money. Unexpectedly, her sweet appearance led to her rapid rise to fame on the live streaming platform. She gained a large following and became a top streamer earning enough to buy a BMW annually. However, while the live streaming industry seems lucrative, it is actually quite complex. Streamers, guilds, and wealthy patrons—these three elements are interconnected, resembling a miniature entertainment circle.

After the wealthy man tipped her 5,000 yuan for the first time, she gave him her phone number and WeChat. She liked him; he spoke gently and cared for her like an older brother. With such a wealthy backer, she essentially had her own financial backing. She was able to achieve good results and earn substantial income from various official events.

But gradually, the wealthy man revealed his true colors. He started frequently discussing inappropriate topics with her and demanded one-on-one video performances from her. These so-called one-on-one video performances involved her exposing her body and performing various disgusting acts. The girl was still innocent, a high school student; how could she possibly sell her dignity for money?

But the wealthy man was surprisingly resourceful. Seeing that the girl refused to compromise her dignity, he contacted her guild, which was essentially a small talent agency. This guild could help the girl gain headlines on live streaming platforms and attract more fans. The wealthy man simply gave her guild 10,000 yuan, telling them that if the girl remained reserved, they would support girls from other guilds.

Although the wealthy patron's donations weren't large, they could easily spare ten thousand, and even several hundred thousand wouldn't be a problem. The guild, eager to make money, told the girl that she had to keep this patron at all costs, even if it meant letting him profit from the situation. If she couldn't retain him, and he ended up supporting another guild and strengthening their power, the guild would blacklist the girl, ensuring she would never appear in any headlines again.

Seeing her friends fall into the trap, either being taken advantage of by rich men or buying plane tickets to spend the night with other rich men, the girl couldn't help but sigh. A year had passed since she started streaming. If this rich man really ran away, causing her to be banned by the guild, then she'd quit streaming altogether.

The thought of having to give up her career filled the girl with hatred. She hated the rich. Why did they use money to humiliate others like that? Why did they build their happiness on the suffering of others?

Soon, the wealthy man tipped the girl 1,000 yuan. At the same time, he said in the public chat, "Stand up and let me see your beautiful legs. If you don't show them to me, I'll go tip someone else."

Seeing the wealthy man's shout, the girl's face turned pale instantly. Biting her lip, she hesitated. If she stood up, the wealthy man would likely make even more unreasonable demands. But if she didn't stand up, the wealthy man might leave, causing her to be banned from the streaming industry by the guild.

To stand or not to stand? Standing up to show him my leg shouldn't be a big deal, right? But if I stand up for a thousand yuan, many of her fans might look down on me. Seeing me sell my dignity for money could turn many fans into haters or cause them to leave.

She does need money, but she prefers her fans.

Thinking about all this, the girl's face grew paler and paler. Just then, someone messaged her privately again. It was her guild leader, who had been paying close attention to this wealthy patron. He seemed a little angry and said to the girl, "Hurry up and stand up so this tycoon can see your legs. Will looking at your legs cause you to lose flesh? You're not even willing to make this sacrifice. How will you become a top streamer in the future? Top streamers are made with money, not by you lowly fans. Hurry up and stand up. As long as we can keep this tycoon, what does it matter if we lose a bunch of free-spending fans?"

“Boss, but my fans are really useful too. They’ve already tipped me three hundred yuan,” the girl explained.

"Three hundred yuan? You only earned three hundred yuan in twenty minutes of streaming, while this tycoon spent a thousand in one go. What use are those lowly fans? If a hundred of them leave, I'll immediately buy you a thousand alt accounts to use. How much are a thousand alt accounts? Thirty yuan is enough. Hurry up and stand up so this tycoon can see your legs, or you can forget about ever making headlines again!" the guild leader said impatiently.

After listening to the guild leader's words, and glancing at her fans below, she realized that some had already noticed something amiss. Although many of them had never given her money as a donation, they watched her streams every day without fail, and these people genuinely liked her. At this point, everyone felt that the wealthy fan was insulting her, and they all shouted in the comments, "We won't stand up for you, Shanshan! If you stand up, we'll look down on you!"

"A bunch of losers, get out of here!" The rich guy tipped another thousand.

"Shanshan, stand up quickly! Look at your legs, they're worth two thousand! If the rich guy runs away, he'll hold you responsible!" The eldest girl was anxious.

"Don't stand up! If you stand up, we won't watch!" More fans shouted, realizing the rich guy was showing off.

"You want to sleep with Shanshan? Shanshan is still a high school student, have you no shame?"

"That's right, we all genuinely enjoy listening to Shanshan sing!"

"Shanshan, I'm going to collect my New Year's money tomorrow, don't stand there!"

"Get lost, you losers!" The tycoon tipped another thousand, looking smug.

This is a money-driven world, where whoever has money is powerful and the boss. Even though the fans were furious, they were powerless against that tycoon. After all, he was a VIP Level 5 member. Many fans were only Level 1 members and didn't even have the right to speak in the public chat.

"Stand up right now, or I'll ban you immediately!" The guild leader was really angry.

"Should I stand?" Pale-faced, the girl had unconsciously straightened up. She truly loved being a livestreamer and didn't want to quit. If she were banned, her fans would dwindle. She would never find such a high-paying job again.

Because of her role as a livestreamer, her studies have suffered significantly. What else can she do if she doesn't become a livestreamer?

Lost in thought, her face pale, she had already stood up halfway. Seeing the announcement from the court official, she couldn't help but cry.

This stop will likely cause her to lose a large number of fans, and a lot of people who genuinely like her. She could almost see the smug smile on that rich man's face.

Suddenly, a burst of golden light appeared on the screen. Then, a similar message appeared in every live stream room across the entire platform.

"The young master spent lavishly, rewarding Shanshan with ten thousand coins."

Upon seeing the message, each streamer glanced at it in surprise. As veteran streamers, they paid attention to almost every wealthy patron appearing on the live streaming platform.

Many people are wondering if a new tycoon has joined the platform. If he can give even more tips, it's probably worth paying attention to.
