[Congratulations! You have triggered the Good Luck System. The fortune cat will bring you good luck. Meow~]
Hearing this cold electronic voice in her mind, Ji Xiaoli's eyes widened in horror.
Then...
She glared at the coin in her hand!
On the coin, the peony was painted so vividly that the year 1982 was clearly visible.
This voice seemed to have sounded after she picked up this coin...
Could it be...
Has it come to life?!
[Here is the newbie gift package brought to you by the kitten. Please check it out~]
While Ji Xiaoli was still in doubt, a huge gift package appeared in her mind.
With a bang, the gift package exploded into fireworks, and the words "good luck" flew towards her with snow - white wings.
[You're so lucky! Let's see what good luck this great good - luck gift package will bring to the master~]
Good luck?!
Would she believe it?!
Ji Xiaoli rolled her eyes, snorted, and said sourly, "If there really is good luck, let my long - lost biological parents find me!"
"And preferably... they're invisible billionaires who can make me a rich second - generation overnight..."
The more Ji Xiaoli talked, the sadder she became, and her nose started to sting.
What kind of daydream was she having?!
She should think about how to survive the whole winter with this one - yuan coin she picked up!!
Just as she was in great grief, her phone rang.
The excited voice of her roommate Tao Tao almost burst Ji Xiaoli's eardrums: "Xiaoli, Xiaoli, have you eaten?"
"No. Are you treating me to dinner?"
"Sure! Well, no. It's your mom treating you to dinner!" Tao Tao stammered out her excitement.
Ji Xiaoli:?!
She was an orphan. Where did she get a mom?
"Do you know SKYFIN?"
Yes!!
It was a seafood restaurant without borders, and it cost over a thousand per person!
"Come quickly! Your mom and I are waiting for you there!" Tao Tao said excitedly while running out of the dorm, "Auntie, Xiaoli will be here soon!"
Beep...
Ji Xiaoli held the phone blankly.
Her mom... had really come to find her?!
It seemed that she was really a rich woman!
[You're so lucky! Let's see what good luck this great good - luck gift package will bring to the master~]
The electronic voice rang in her ear again, making Ji Xiaoli's heart skip a beat.
This... this actually came true?!
It was so incredible!!
...
By the time Ji Xiaoli arrived at SKYFIN, night had fallen.
Following the waiter's guidance, Ji Xiaoli came to a table by the window.
A well - dressed woman was sobbing softly.
"... We were too young back then. We were busy making money to support our children. Carelessly, we lost our daughter."
"Over the years, we've been looking for her. We've checked with the police and human traffickers, but there's been no news... I had given up hope. Who would have thought that the other day, we were so lucky that we confirmed through an orphanage that Xiaoli is our long - lost daughter."
Ji Xiaoli was stunned. She stood still behind the woman, unable to move.
It was true...
Her mom had really found her...
"Xia... Xiaoli?"
The woman suddenly turned around. The moment she saw Ji Xiaoli, tears streamed down her face. "Xiaoli, mom has been looking for you all these years! Let mom have a look at you. Have you been okay all these years?"
"I..."
Ji Xiaoli felt a bit embarrassed.
Wei Yanlan was decked out in jewels, and all her clothes were designer brands—brands that a poor student like her didn't even recognize!
In contrast, all of Ji Xiaoli's clothes together cost less than two hundred yuan, and she had been wearing the same pair of shoes for two or three years. She really didn't fit in here.
How could she be the daughter of this wealthy woman in front of her?!
"I... I... Maybe you've made a mistake..."
Ji Xiaoli's face turned bright red. She took a step back awkwardly. "I... I'll leave first!"
"Xiaoli!"
Wei Yanlan sobbed uncontrollably. Almost instinctively, she hugged Ji Xiaoli tightly. "It's mom's fault! It's mom's mistake! If mom had taken better care of you back then, you wouldn't have been wandering outside for so many years..."
She gritted her teeth and cried, "What's the use of running a company! What's the use of being the richest person in the city! None of these are as important as my daughter!!"
At first, Ji Xiaoli's eyes welled up with tears. But when she heard the last sentence, her eyes almost popped out.
What did she just hear?!
Her mom was the richest person in the city?!
Then wasn't she the daughter of the richest person in Nancheng?!
Ji Xiaoli was stunned. When her gaze met Tao Tao's across the table, Tao Tao mouthed three words to her:
"Ji Changmin."
Ji Xiaoli's heart raced.
Ji Changmin...
Was it the legendary Ji Changmin?!
In Ji Xiaoli's shocked eyes, Tao Tao then exaggeratedly mouthed, "Your dad."
!!
Ji Xiaoli was shaken to the core.
"Xiaoli, what's wrong?"
Ji Xiaoli let out a breath. "My... Where's my dad now?"
"Oh, don't worry about him. He's currently digging for oil in Venezuela. He might not be back for a while."
Wei Yanlan said it casually, but Ji Xiaoli was startled.
It turned out that her dad was really the oil tycoon Ji Changmin, and her mom was the richest person in Nancheng...
She, a poor student living on welfare, had suddenly become a rich second - generation!!
Happiness had come so suddenly!!
When Ji Xiaoli returned to the dorm, she still couldn't come to her senses.
"Wow, Xiaoli, Xiaoli!"
Her roommate Yang Xiaoyang rushed into the dorm with shining eyes. "Was that you who came in a Maybach just now? Was it you? Was it you?!"
Ji Xiaoli was dizzy from being shaken by her. Before she could answer, Yang Xiaoyang interrupted her again:
"That sports car is so cool, especially when the door opened. Oh my god!! Who was sitting in the driver's seat? That auntie is so cool! Is that your mom?"
"She is..."
"Come on. She's just a poor student living on subsidies. How could she afford to ride in a Maybach? Use your head."
It was Qin Xiangxiang, the rich second - generation in the dorm, who said this.
She was applying body lotion on her arm at the moment, and her fair hand glistened with the light of money.
"If she really had a rich mom, how could she live so shabbily? She almost cried just because she lost five thousand yuan."
She shook her head and clicked her tongue, her words full of contempt.
In fact, rich second - generations like Qin Xiangxiang always looked down on poor students like Ji Xiaoli.
"Don't look down on people!" Yang Xiaoyang's face flushed a bit. "And you still have the nerve to mention that five thousand yuan. I clearly saw you touch Xiaoli's coat. Maybe it was you who stole it—"
"Your mouth is full of nonsense!" Qin Xiangxiang's pretty face changed color. She gave Yang Xiaoyang a fierce look. "Has Ji Xiaoli forgotten about the perfume she knocked over last time? Did she pay for it?!"
"But that perfume was clearly knocked over when you bumped into Xiaoli! It was your fault. How could you ask Xiaoli to pay for it? Besides..."
Yang Xiaoyang sounded a bit aggrieved. "Didn't you say you wouldn't ask Xiaoli to pay for it?"
"That was before! Can it be the same now?" Qin Xiangxiang sneered and looked at Ji Xiaoli. "Now that she has a mom who drives a Maybach, what's this bottle of perfume to her?!"
"It's not expensive. It's a Dior. It's only about a thousand yuan."
The contemptuous tone made Ji Xiaoli's face burn immediately.
There was still the last one - yuan coin in her cheap coat.
"No way? Really? It's not even a thousand yuan? And she's pretending to be rich? Ha!"
Ding. Two messages popped up on Ji Xiaoli's phone.
One was a message from China Merchants Bank—one million yuan had been transferred into her account.
The other was a message from Wei Yanlan: Mom loves you.
