Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots

Chapter 71 - 71 071 What a coincidence, right

?71: 071 What a coincidence, right?

(Two in one) 71: 071 What a coincidence, right?

(Two in one) Xu He had been fussing with things for quite some time and by now, fine beads of sweat covered her forehead.

Her body was still weak, and she hadn’t fainted recently, mainly because Xia Ye had come back, and she felt more spirited; she looked somewhat better too.

Xia Ye asked her to go back to her room and rest, and Xu He smiled, agreeing, but before she left, she didn’t forget to seek some attention from her daughter.

She pointed to the painting above the headboard and asked, “Little Tiangao, do you think Mommy’s painting is pretty?”

She noticed that Xia Ye had stopped in front of the bed to look at it as soon as she entered the room, knowing her daughter remembered it, but she hadn’t heard her praise it, which made her a bit discontent.

This was, after all, her most satisfying work.

Xia Ye saw right through her thoughts and generously complimented, “It’s pretty, very pretty.”

Hearing this, Xu He was delighted, “Mom painted it in imitation of T·D, a classical artist from the century before last.

Mom is a big fan of his.”

When Xu He said this, you could hear the excitement in her voice.

Xia Ye found it quite peculiar that Xu He would admire someone so much, especially someone from the century before last, with whom she had absolutely no contact.

She casually asked, “Did he also paint portraits?”

Xu He grew even more excited at this, “Among his surviving works, the most famous is actually a world heritage map, which is more of a landscape, but the reason Mom became his fan is indeed due to a lesser-known portrait of a person.

Little Tiangao, can you guess why Mom likes that portrait so much?”

After saying this, she even pulled out a chair next to Xia Ye, apparently intending to sit down and have a lengthy discussion.

Xu He: “Because, that portrait’s little girl, she looks just like you…”

“Xiaohe, do you know where I put my green tie?”

Before Xu He could finish speaking, Xia Yuzheng’s spoilsport voice interrupted.

“It’s still in the usual place, how can you always not find it,” Xu He supported herself up using the armrest of the chair and looked back at Xia Ye, “I’m going to find your dad’s tie.

I’ll talk to you about it later, okay?”

Xia Ye was more than happy, “No problem, Mom.

You go ahead and take care of that.”

She actually enjoyed appreciating beautiful paintings, but compared to that, she was more interested in making money.

With that thought, she took out her phone.

She swiped a few times on the center of the screen and found the app called “Cryptocurrency Trader.”

Upon opening the app, her gaze scanned the constantly changing complex list of data, she nodded in satisfaction at the surge ratios, and then tapped on a few to execute sell orders.

She had always liked to dabble in small investments.

When she had just returned, she had learned about the rate of currency devaluation and thought about her diminished nest egg, which distressed her greatly.

After all, if her Spiritual Energy never fully recovered, she would be nothing more than an ordinary, extraordinarily wealthy fairy.

However, a good investor wouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket.

Only a small part had diminished…

Xia Ye recalled how she used to go to special trading venues to invest in securities, which was very cumbersome and even prone to errors made by agents, preventing her from reaching her expected returns.

Now, things were different.

She could handle everything from home with her phone.

The money in this app was allowance from her second brother, just a small amount to experiment with.

Yet, she would still take a tiny bit of “hard-earned” profit from the returns and transfer it into her personal savings.

In truth, she didn’t really have anywhere she needed to spend money; she just liked…

saving it up for fun!

And with this app she was using now, she could also meet some like-minded “young friends.” They had a group and often discussed investment matters together.

Brainless Bro: [Goddess, I just followed you and sold two stocks, and sure enough, right after I sold, the prices fell from their peak.

You’re really amazing!]

Up With The Chickens: [Holy crap!

For real?

I was thinking of waiting a bit longer before selling!]

Thick-skinned: [“Just check it out, I spotted it long ago, following the goddess is definitely the right move for us!”]

Early Riser: [“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, the market just dipped again!

Am I trapped now?

This is my annual salary we’re talking about!”]

These two are the most active in the group.

In the software group, people could only see each other’s buy signals and the limited optional information in their profiles, not knowing each other’s real identities.

Xia Ye randomly filled in her gender as female in her profile, so they’ve been referring to her as the goddess.

Xia Ye tapped on the screen.

Happy like a Fairy: [“There should be a small peak around noon tomorrow.

Keep an eye out and be ready to sell when it’s nearly time.”]

The person who received the instructions was moved to tears.

Early Riser: [“That’s great, goddess.

I must take you out for a meal if I get the chance!”]

Thick-skinned: [“Don’t bother with him, goddess!

I’ll take you to have the best and the most expensive meal in Capital City!”]

Early Riser: [“The guy above, are you also from Capital City?”]

Thick-skinned: [“No way, you too?

Let me make it clear upfront, I’m not treating you.

I’m only treating my goddess!”]

Early Riser sent an “I can’t be bothered with you” emoticon from the system and then tagged Xia Ye.

Early Riser: [“Goddess, may I know where you are?

It’s okay if it’s inconvenient.

I’m just asking casually!”]

Xia Ye thought Capital City was big enough that knowing they were both in Capital City meant little, so she replied.

Happy like a Fairy: [“Also in Capital City.”]

Meanwhile, in the CEO office at the top floor of the Jiang Consortium.

Beside the work desk, Jiang Xuan was reviewing a document with very complex additional clauses.

The room was initially quiet until, suddenly, Dong Mao and Shen Jing, who were sitting far apart in the sofa area, seemed to be possessed and stood up with a yelp.

“No way?”

“Really?!”

As Jiang Xuan was about to sign the document, their shouting caused him to leave a very long stroke on the “Jiang” character, which should have only three dots of water.

Realizing their gaffe, Shen Jing hurried to take the initiative, pointing at Dong Mao, who was eight hundred feet away, standing up with his mobile phone: “Playing with your phone during work hours and distracting the CEO!

Dock his pay!”

Dong Mao almost fell for it, but quickly noticed that Shen Jing was also holding a mobile phone: “Aren’t you also on your phone?

Out with it!

Who’s the girl you’re chatting with?”

Shen Jing hastily hid his phone behind him: “I’m dealing with work!

You’re the one chatting with a girl!”

“Both of you, out!”

Jiang Xuan’s commanding voice rose, the beating hearts of the two bickering men simultaneously tightened.

Without daring to even glance in Jiang Xuan’s direction, they fled the scene of the crime.

Jiang Xuan, who had already perceived their scheming thoughts, twitched the corners of his eyes slightly and threw away the ruined page of the contract.

Let it be, it was normal for people their age to have other concerns on their mind.

Unfortunately, according to the contents read from their minds, it seemed the goddess they were talking about was the same person, and they didn’t know it.

Jiang Xuan massaged his temples and then took out a new contract.

It didn’t matter to him whether they knew it or not.
