He Qian Shan opened his eyes. It was already bright outside.
The room was neat and tidy, showing no signs of the passion that often follows intimacy.
It took him a moment to realize that everything just now had been a dream.
And he had actually had a wet dream!
He Qian Shan, who had never had such a dream in his life, felt utterly ashamed.
Was he crazy? How could he have such dirty thoughts about a woman he had only met a few times?
Disgraceful!
He Qian Shan was severely scolding himself in his mind when suddenly he heard a series of urgent knocks on the wall from the next room.
Then, Aunt Tang's anxious voice came: "Peng Peng, are you okay?"
Only then did He Qian Shan remember that he had been awakened by a scream just now.
He quickly jumped out of bed and rushed towards Wu Peng Peng's room without even having time to change his clothes.
Hearing the footsteps, Aunt Tang turned around. Seeing He Qian Shan running over in his pajamas with a worried look on his face, she subconsciously frowned.
He Qian Shan realized that his appearance was inappropriate, but he didn't care.
Wu Peng Peng's scream had been so shrill just now. Something bad must have happened.
"What's going on?" He stepped forward anxiously. "What happened?"
Aunt Tang had been downstairs cooking Wu Peng Peng's favorite seafood congee. Hearing her scream, she had rushed upstairs and knocked on the door, but there was no response.
She was worried that something might have happened to Wu Peng Peng. Ignoring He Qian Shan's rudeness, she frowned and said, "I don't know."
He Qian Shan raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Miss Wu."
There was no response from inside.
If something had happened to her, every moment of hesitation would mean more danger.
He Qian Shan made a prompt decision to kick the door open. "Please step aside. I'll kick the door open."
Aunt Tang agreed with He Qian Shan's suggestion and stepped aside.
He Qian Shan took a step back and was about to take a running start to kick the door open when the door opened from the inside.
Wu Peng Peng walked out, rubbing her hair with a frustrated look on her face.
She was wearing a burgundy spaghetti - strap nightgown with a white lace long shirt over it. Her long hair hung casually on her chest, covering her cleavage. She looked charming and lazy.
Seeing her dressed exactly the same as in his dream, He Qian Shan felt his cheeks flush. He subconsciously averted his eyes.
Seeing Wu Peng Peng come out, Aunt Tang didn't care about their disheveled appearance. She pulled Wu Peng Peng over and checked her carefully.
Seeing that she was unharmed, she was even more confused. "What's going on? What happened just now?"
Looking at Aunt Tang's worried face, Wu Peng Peng was also a bit confused.
She had been awakened by a phone call this morning. A man named "Chen Sheng" had called to tell her that the gold mine she had bought two years ago had struck gold. Conservatively estimated, its value was over tens of billions.
Buying a gold mine? Was that even reasonable?
Wu Peng Peng was overwhelmed by this unexpected fortune. She let out a howl and went into the bathroom to be alone.
"I'm fine." She rubbed her temples wearily. "I'm just too happy."
Seeing that she was okay, Aunt Tang blocked her way and pushed her back into the room. "Hurry up and change your clothes. Come downstairs for breakfast."
He Qian Shan noticed Aunt Tang's little move and realized that it was inappropriate for him to be there. He silently turned around and went back to change his clothes.
When he came out after washing up, he bumped into Wu Peng Peng, who had just finished changing.
"Good morning!" She waved at him listlessly.
He Qian Shan had been feeling embarrassed because of that dream. Seeing Wu Peng Peng looking so distressed, he couldn't help but feel worried.
"What's going on?" Although they had only met a few times, in He Qian Shan's impression, she was always smiling, like a little sun.
Wu Peng Peng sighed. It was all too much to talk about.
She waved her hand and didn't want to say anything.
He Qian Shan thought she had encountered some difficulties. He stepped forward and blocked her way. "What exactly happened?"
"Really, I'm fine." Seeing that he didn't believe her, Wu Peng Peng didn't hide it. "I've struck it rich. I was just too excited to hold back."
He Qian Shan looked at her suspiciously. "But you look more like you've gone bankrupt."
"You don't understand. Extreme joy resembles sorrow." Wu Peng Peng said seriously. "I'm so happy that I can't even express it."
He Qian Shan stood still, with "I don't believe it" written all over his face.
Wu Peng Peng took out her phone, opened the mining plan sent by Chen Sheng, and showed it to him.
He Qian Shan looked down and saw that she had indeed bought a gold mine and it was about to be mined.
He gave Wu Peng Peng a deep look and stepped aside to let her go downstairs.
Wu Peng Peng walked downstairs absent - mindedly, feeling heartbroken.
She earned money bit by bit, while the previous owner of her body earned it by the hundreds of millions.
Why was there such a big difference between people?
Receiving a windfall so early in the morning was really inauspicious.
Lost in thought, Wu Peng Peng accidentally bumped into a cabinet.
He Qian Shan quickly grabbed her and pulled her back.
A set of teacups in the cabinet fell down and shattered at her feet.
Wu Peng Peng was startled and jumped like a little rabbit.
"Are you okay?" He Qian Shan looked at the broken pieces on the ground and felt a little scared. If those teacups had hit her head, she would have been disfigured for sure.
It took Wu Peng Peng a moment to realize that this set of tea sets was from the era of Louis XIV.
One teacup was worth nearly a million, and the whole set was worth five million.
She had damaged it accidentally, which meant she had successfully wasted money according to the rules.
Finally, there was some progress today!
Wu Peng Peng couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
From now on, she would be a careless person.
"I'm fine." She put on a heart - broken expression. "This was an antique collected by my grandfather. I was so careless to break it."
Aunt Tang came out of the kitchen with the congee. Seeing Wu Peng Peng looking like she was about to cry,
She quickly put the congee on the dining table and stepped forward to clean up the mess. "You two go have breakfast first. I'll clean this up."
Wu Peng Peng tried hard to hold back her joy and walked to the dining table sniffling. She picked up the seafood congee and ate it in small mouthfuls.
After cleaning up, Aunt Tang walked over and took out a card from her apron pocket and put it in front of Wu Peng Peng. "This is the refund from the renovation. There's a million in it."
More money!
Wu Peng Peng wanted to cry but had no tears. "Wasn't the renovation fee just right? Why was there a refund?"
"The decoration company cheated you." Aunt Tang said shrewdly. "I counted carefully. There were only 132 workers in this construction, but they reported 150. I know you're kind - hearted and generous. You must have been too embarrassed to ask for the money back, so I took the liberty to get it back for you."
The money she had finally spent had come back to her.
Wu Peng Peng was speechless.
Couldn't you be a little less responsible?
She stuffed the card into Aunt Tang's hand. "You got this money back. It's yours."
"I can't take this." Aunt Tang returned the card. "The salary you pay me is already higher than that of those white - collar workers in the office building. I can't be so greedy."
Wu Peng Peng stuffed it back into her hand. "It's not much. Just take it!"
Aunt Tang took Wu Peng Peng's hand and put the card in her palm.
"You're about the same age as my daughter. In my heart, I've always regarded you as my own daughter. How could I take your money with a clear conscience?"
If you really regarded me as your daughter, please take my money greedily!
Wu Peng Peng still didn't give up. "Just take it as my filial piety to you."
If the other person really wanted it, it would meet the requirement of gifting.
Aunt Tang shook her head and insisted on not taking it. "Good girl, Aunt Tang appreciates your kindness."
Seeing that Aunt Tang was determined, Wu Peng Peng didn't insist anymore. "Then I'll hire a few more helpers for you?"
The castle was large in area and had many rooms.
But there were only five servants in the family. It must be tiring to take care of it.
"Don't waste that money. I can handle it alone." Aunt Tang refused immediately. "It's not easy for a girl like you to make money. Save it."
Wu Peng Peng wanted to cry but had no tears. It's even harder for a girl like me to waste money.
"Okay then. You go ahead and work." She stood up dejectedly. "I'll go out for a walk to digest."
If I can't waste money here, there must be other places where I can.
