Chapter 45: Spending Money Like Water

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

What Shan Chen wanted to say was that there was no need to spend money like this! Based on his rough estimation just now, this breakfast had cost nearly 10,000 yuan. Even the richest family in S City would not be so extravagant, right?

Shan Yue did not mind. Her current consumption had actually only recovered to her lowest level in the past. Now that she had contacted Ye Ying, she could slowly build up her idle businesses in the past, let alone worry about the source of money.

However, in order to comfort her sentimental brother, Shan Yue explained, “Isn’t money earned to be spent? As long as you spend it happily, it’s worth it. Besides, your sister will earn more money in the future. Breakfast like this is the basic standard. You have to get used to it.”

Seeing that Shan Yue looked calm and confident that she could earn a lot of money, Shan Chen swallowed his saliva and inexplicably looked forward to it.

Thinking of something, Shan Chen asked again, “Sister, what do you rely on to earn money?”

During this period of time, the Shan family had seen Shan Yue’s extravagance. Her spending power had increased by several levels. They were all very curious about how Shan Yue earned this money.

Shan Yue left early every day and returned late every day. She was usually nowhere to be seen. Even Shan An and Shan Chen could not find the right time to ask. It was rare for Shan Yue to mention this matter, so Shan Chen voiced the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

“Uh… I’m relying on…” This question stumped Shan Yue for a moment. Although she had earned the three million yuan relatively easily recently, the payment for saving Zhou Yang’s life and the prize money from racing seemed to be from an unjustified source.

Moreover, after spending the two million yuan, she wanted to ask the Zhou family for remuneration for helping them deal with that group of killers. This source of money was not easy to talk about.

Could she tell the innocent high school student, Shan Chen, that his sister was a cold and heartless killer?

Seeing Shan Yue hesitate, Shan Chen came up with a brilliant explanation for her. “Sister, I accidentally saw a program running to get some information on the computer in your room previously. Did you earn money by helping others write programs?”

Shan Yue was stunned and immediately reacted. “That’s about it. Shan Chen, I didn’t expect you to understand the code.”

Coincidentally, the program that Shan Chen saw was indeed to get information, but it was not a formal program. It was a virus program that Shan Yue used to monitor the organization’s various strongholds.

Later on, Shan Yue gave up on such a channel because it was not very useful, and turned to other more efficient methods of listening.

“I can only understand a little.” Shan Chen smiled in embarrassment, his eyes filled with light.

“Are you interested in that? Do you want me to teach you?”

As soon as he heard Shan Yue’s question, Shan Chen revealed a surprised and shy expression and quickly nodded. He said nervously, “Sister, will it delay your earnings? I feel like you’re very busy every day.”

Shan Yue also wanted to not be busy, but all kinds of strange things would still come to her. She was also very helpless. However, it was a pleasant surprise that Shan Chen was interested in programming. With Shan Chen’s intelligence, she might even be able to nurture him into a new generation of top hackers.

“It’s just convenient to earn money. If you want to learn, I can teach you.” Seeing that Shan Chen was already full, Shan Yue stood up and smiled. “Let’s go. It just so happens that I’m going to buy new equipment today. I’ll buy one for you too.”

“Then can I become as powerful as Sister?” Shan Chen looked longingly at the remaining food on the table and followed her like a little tail.

“Of course,” Shan Yue replied with a smile.

The two of them arrived at the largest computer city in the city center. Shan Chen was already very interested in these things. As soon as he entered, he looked around curiously, while Shan Yue walked straight in.

“Sister, aren’t you going to buy a computer? I think this shop is not bad. Why don’t you take a look?” Shan Chen was attracted by the shopkeeper’s shout and gently tugged at Shan Yue’s clothes.

Glancing at the shop that Shan Chen had taken a fancy to, Shan Yue smiled mysteriously. “This shop doesn’t have what I want to buy.”
