Sword King In A Women's World

“Mom, why are you suddenly smoking?”

Chu Qing frowned slightly. He recalled that his father used to smoke in the past, but due to his mother’s insistence, he eventually quit. He didn’t expect her to secretly smoke again today.

“If I don’t do this, how can you explain the smell of smoke on your body?”

His mother quickly finished half of the cigarette in a few puffs. She then rolled down the window and flicked the remaining half out. Concerned, she said, “Your father has a keen sense of smell. If he finds out you have gone to an internet cafe, it will be disastrous!”

Chu Qing touched his nose and nodded in agreement, an awkward smile on his face.

If the two of them knew what he had just done, wouldn’t they go crazy on the spot?

At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, Mom, I might be back late tomorrow.”

“Why? Are you going to the internet cafe again?”

His mother teased, making Chu Qing blush.

“No, it’s a class reunion, so I might be back later.”

“How about this… I’ll send you another 2,000 yuan later. I guess you’ve used up most of the money I gave you last time?”

Chu Qing nodded and his heart warmed.

Even though Chu Qing had never asked his parents for money, his mother would often inquire if he had enough money to spend.

“I’m telling you, Mom has been rather rich recently. If you need money, tell me. You don’t have to take the initiative to save.”

His mother seemed to be in a very good mood today. She kept chatting with Chu Qing and never stopped talking.

“Rich? Is the situation at the company better?”

“Yes, the company has recently secured a few major orders, so we can say we’ve overcome the difficult period.”

Chu Qing nodded, but his heart skipped a beat.

A few major orders… Could it be that Ye Chenxi had done something?

Upon reflection, it seemed plausible. Chu Qing recalled his conversation with Ye Chenxi regarding his family’s situation. Ye Chenxi had hinted at assisting his mother with certain matters.

Chu Qing heaved a long sigh of relief. He felt much better seeing his parents happier.

“By the way, Chu Qing, your jade pendant…”

Chu Qing’s heart tightened. Could his mother have seen something?

“Hehe, 1 feel quite comfortable wearing it. When did you secretly save up so much money?”

“Oh? Well, I had some New Year’s money before. Then, I encountered a monk at the temple. He claimed that I had the aura of a celestial being or something like that, so he sold me a few pieces of jade…”

Chu Qing offered a half-truth in his explanation. He felt it was necessary to provide some explanation, but revealing the actual cost of the jade pendants, which exceeded 20,000 yuan, seemed inappropriate.

Chu Qing’s phone rang. He looked down and saw that it was a transfer message.

“1.2 million?”

Chu Qing was stunned and exclaimed.

“What?”

His mother was focused on driving and didn’t hear what Chu Qing was saying.

“Oh, it’s n-nothing…”

Chu Qing pretended that nothing had happened and deleted the message.

Chu Qing was astonished to learn that the Ye family had purchased each spirit talisman at a price exceeding 40,000 yuan. Considering there were 30 talismans in total, this batch alone would bring him a staggering income of 1.2 million yuan.

However, Chu Qing was well aware that the actual market price for such a talisman wouldn’t be as high. It was likely that Ye Chenxi had included a portion of the favor owed to him. After all, Chu Qing had provided significant assistance to the Ye family over a considerable period of time. Furthermore, he had granted them exclusive selling rights this time. Hence, the Ye family could only utilize these means to express their gratitude and repay Chu Qing’s kindness.

Initially, Chu Qing had over 600,000 yuan remaining from his previous sales. With this recent transaction, he earned an additional 1.2 million yuan, bringing his total to nearly two million yuan.

How should I spend it…

Chu Qing chuckled wryly. 1 le never imagined that spending money could be such a challenge. He used to think that no matter how much he earned, it would never be enough to satisfy his desires. But now, he had earned a substantial amount just by utilizing some techniques he brought from another world. If he could refine actual medicinal pills from his previous life, he wondered how much they would be worth in the market. The prices would likely be astronomical.

Some of the medicinal pills from before could even extend a person’s lifespan. If such a thing could appear in the current world, it would be shocking.

However, when he thought about how he still had to prepare to enter Jinmen City’s business empire, he realized that two million yuan was not a big deal.

At that point, money would likely flow like water. Chu Qing realized he needed to be well-prepared for such a situation.

The car pulled up to their home, and Chu Qing and his mother stepped out. Chu Qing’s father had prepared a sumptuous feast, expecting Chu Qing to join them for dinner. However, he was taken aback when he realized that Chu Qing wouldn’t be coming home for dinner.

Chu Qing was a little ashamed. The dishes on the table had already been heated up by his father again. They looked tempting.

Chu Qing had not eaten tonight.

“Why are you back so late? And you, working so late again.”

There was a hint of resentment in his father’s eyes. Chu Qing and his mother could only lower their heads and smile awkwardly. It was better not to provoke his father at this time.

“Hehe, I’m back now. 1 have a social gathering at the company today..”
