After all wealth was wiped out, it became the highest peak in the A-share market.

Chapter 21 How about we stop giving Li Chao living expenses next month? Would that satisfy you?

Qin Nuanyang was in a good mood when she returned home.

Even after being greeted by her girlfriends all day and being blocked by many, she found it difficult to maintain her image as a respected older sister in the group.

But Li Chao scored so many points.

Once Li Chao gets into Tsinghua or Peking University, he'll be able to make a lot of money. It wouldn't be too much to ask him to buy me a new phone then, would it?

Adding another new computer wouldn't be too much to ask, would it?

Two more sets of new clothes will be sent.

It's fine if we're far apart, but if he goes to Beijing, I'll tell him not to go sightseeing in private, and to wait until I have a vacation to go there.

Otherwise, what if he gets tired of things like the Great Wall and the Forbidden City?

They won't be happy when they have to play with me.

Having a friend from Tsinghua or Peking University would make me feel really proud when I post about it on social media, right?

With these feelings in mind, she opened the door to her home.

Then she saw that her parents were still awake and staring at her with very serious expressions. She was all too familiar with this scene.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going back to my room now."

She just wanted to hide first.

But before he could even take the first step, his mother, Liu Min, asked, "Were you going out to fight last night?"

"Huh? No, no, I didn't go..."

"You still say you didn't go! Those people are now all saying that you instigated them to fight."

"What! No, no! I didn't! They called me after they started fighting, and I didn't go..."

What Qin Nuanyang said was true. Why would she instigate others to fight for no reason?

Qin Zhiguo said coldly, "If Li Chao hadn't stopped you, would you have stopped halfway?"

Qin Nuanyang: "..."

But she quickly realized that it was better if this matter involved her; if it involved Li Chao, she might get beaten half to death.

Even if Li Chao was the one advising him, his father still had every reason to suspect that he had told Li Chao about this and was secretly trying to lead Li Chao astray.

"Dad, that's not true. I didn't tell Li Chao anything..."

Qin Zhiguo stood up abruptly and yelled at Qin Nuanyang, "You're still lying! You think I have no evidence? The police station has already retrieved all your phone recordings. Do you think I'd mistake Li Chao's voice?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Nuanyang immediately cowered and lowered her head.

She was very nervous, unsure of what to do with her feet, but unfortunately, her breasts were so large that her feet were not visible.

Qin Zhiguo had already arrived in front of Qin Nuanyang, and Liu Min, fearing he would make a move, followed closely behind him.

Qin Zhiguo continued, "Do you know how close you got this time? You almost faced utter ruin! I told you before, even if you weren't good at studying, at least behave yourself at school and learn as much as you can. And what have you been doing these past few years? When you heard someone was fighting, you even suggested they kill the other person. Do you have any respect for the law? Do you know the consequences of killing someone? If Li Chao hadn't stopped you, do you know where I'd be meeting you right now? Either in the ICU or in a detention center. Which place do you want to be?"

Qin Nuanyang lowered her head and didn't say a word.

Qin Zhiguo continued, "Nuanyang, I don't know why you've been like this for the past few years. If you're unhappy that the allowance your family gives you isn't as much as what they give Li Chao, then you can tell me..."

Qin Zhiguo was aware of this problem before, but he had never made up his mind to have a proper talk with his daughter.

After this incident, he became afraid.

He feared he wouldn't have the chance to properly discuss this matter with his daughter again.

Qin Nuanyang quickly shook her head after hearing this.

"Let's have a good talk about this tonight. Don't hide your feelings. You're an eighteen-year-old girl now, and I can't treat you like a child anymore."

As they were talking, Qin Zhiguo pulled Qin Nuanyang to sit on the sofa.

Liu Min, who was standing nearby, also spoke up: "Nuanyang, if you feel that the allowance we're given is too little, you can tell your family."

In fact, eight hundred yuan is not a small amount; it's just that Li Chao received a relatively larger share.

After all, Li Chao is all alone and has to pay for everything himself. You can't expect him to find a way to save money.

Qin Nuanyang is different. She can eat at home at least two days a week, sleep at home for free, take a shower, pay for electricity, and even buy fruit and snacks at home for free.

Then there are clothes, shoes, and the like, which don't require her to spend money.

Meanwhile, you can receive red envelopes everywhere in life; just during the Chinese New Year, you can receive thousands of yuan in red envelopes.

What about Li Chao? He didn't go back to his hometown for the New Year; he just stayed in his rented room. Except for breathing, he needed money to support everything.

He was just a high school student and had no ability to earn money.

Now, Liu Min is scared too. She'll give them more money if they want, as long as no one is hurt.

Qin Nuanyang said softly, "No, I don't think the money is too little. Compared to many of my classmates, I've already got more than enough."

This answer failed to convince Qin Zhiguo and Liu Min. Liu Min said, "I'll go get some more money for you tomorrow. Starting next month, I'll give you 1,600 yuan every month."

"Ah? No, no... Li Chao will probably go to university in Beijing, and he might even need to find a job and settle down there... You guys should save up some money to pay for his down payment, housing prices in Beijing aren't cheap."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhiguo's first thought was that his daughter was jealous.

My daughter overheard us talking about this before.

Do you feel your family is treating an outsider too well? Are you feeling resentful?

"Nuanyang, I did tell your mom before that I would help Li Chao with the down payment, but you might have misunderstood. We would never sacrifice our love for you to help someone else. Back then, my family was poor. When I married your mom, Li Chao's dad lent me 20,000 yuan. After you were born, my salary wasn't much, and Li Chao's parents never asked me for it back. Before I knew it, we owed them for almost ten years... Your mom and I have saved about 400,000 yuan now, and we also have about 300,000 yuan in our housing provident fund. Even if Li Chao wants to buy a house in the future, the family will only support him with about 100,000 yuan at most. We won't support him with too much. All the money we've saved will be spent on you in the future."

Upon hearing this, Qin Nuanyang quickly shook her head: "No, no, I didn't think about that... You can all save it for Li Chao, the housing prices in Beijing are so expensive..."

Qin Zhiguo frowned again. He felt his daughter was being sarcastic, so he simply said, "Then we won't give it to him. The family will only support his tuition and living expenses at most. After he graduates, we won't interfere anymore. Is that okay?"

"Huh? How can that be?" Qin Nuanyang also felt that her father had suddenly become too heartless.

Their parents borrowed 20,000 yuan twenty years ago, which must have been a lot of money back then.

Qin Zhiguo: "..."

"This won't work, that won't work, so how about we cut off Li Chao's allowance next month? Are you satisfied then?"

He couldn't hold back any longer; Qin Nuanyang wouldn't listen to a single kind word.

I tried to talk to her nicely about this, hoping she could understand, but she just kept being sarcastic and sarcastic.
