The Young Matriarch

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: There’s No Share for Bai Chuwei in This Money

“Ding—” A notification for funds received from Alipay.

Bai Yinyin took out her phone and glanced at it, a smile involuntarily curling up at the edge of her mouth.

Not much, just forty-eight thousand.

Sheesh, back then her dad always waved her grandfather’s banner, preaching frugality and saving, giving her pitifully little pocket money!

Now, this was the kind of speed at which a young lady of her stature should be getting her allowance.

Bai Yinyin didn’t dare meet Liu Man’s gaze and turned her head, saying, “No, nothing’s wrong. My dad comes home on time every day.”

How could he not come home on time?

The guy didn’t even leave the villa, finding his fun at home. @@novelbin@@

Only then did Aunt Chen and Bai Hongguang rest assured.

Liu Man pulled Bai Yinyin to a corner of the living room, still a bit uneasy, “Yinyin, you know what kind of person your dad is. Your mom doesn’t miss a thing; if you notice anything, remember to tell Mom, and I’ll chase away all those mistresses!”

Upon hearing this, a flash of guilt passed unintentionally across Bai Yinyin’s face.

Her mom really was good to her, no question about that.

It was just… it was just…

“Ding—” Another deposit to Alipay, 8888.

Clutching her phone tightly, Bai Yinyin’s breathing became labored, and she avoided Liu Man’s gaze, “Mom, I know, I’ll keep an eye on Dad for you.”

Liu Man seemed satisfied with her response, stroked Bai Yinyin’s cheek somewhat irritably, “I heard that Tong Qingyan slapped you a few days ago? She doesn’t seem to realize she’s just a bankrupt heiress now. Mom will transfer twenty thousand yuan to you later, go buy something you like with it. Bai Chuwei doesn’t get a share of this.”

Bai Yinyin felt somewhat guilty… this…

She glanced down at Liu Man’s plastered foot and couldn’t help but nod.

Her mom had injured her leg, and she needed to focus on preparing for the college entrance exams; some things could wait until later…

But Tong Qingyan, a bankrupt heiress? Bai Yinyin actually envied Tong Qingyan quite a bit. The girl was a wealthy and beautiful top student with two million followers on the Xianyu Video APP’s study section; despite bankruptcy, she must be making more money than Bai Yinyin’s allowance, right?

Bai Yinyin had secretly tried making study videos like Tong Qingyan’s, but no one watched them; with only a few viewers, some even criticized her work as incorrect! Then Bai Yinyin gave up and resigned herself to living off her allowance.

As she held her phone, watching tens of thousands flow in over a few days, Bai Yinyin’s heart pounded fiercely.

She’d wait until her mom’s leg was healed and she’d taken the college entrance exam to discuss it…

Sitting on the third floor, Bai Chuwei listened to their gossip, a pleased expression on her face.

Bai Yinyin, you’re doing well. I hope Liu Man won’t be too upset when she finds out about this.

Entering May, with one month left until the college entrance exams, the entire school was filled with a tense atmosphere, leading to fewer patients seeking Bai Chuwei’s medical help.

Lately, Duan Xingye had been studying so hard he barely slept, almost punishing himself in his endeavors.

After the latest mock exam results came in, Duan Xingye’s mental fortitude began to crack, a look of disappointment on his face: “Only 603 points.”

Before receiving his results, he had sneakily checked Xu Xingchen’s score; despite having been struck by lightning and hospitalized for so long, Xu Xingchen still scored 673 on the mock exam.

Xu Xingchen humbly said to a classmate, “I might have fallen behind in my studies while in the hospital, I didn’t do well this time.”

The classmate next to him scoffed and rolled his eyes unabashedly.

He was so annoyed by top students saying that sort of thing; their idea of “not doing well” was completely different from his.

When Xu Xingchen caught Duan Xingye’s gaze, he gave him a smile.
