Group Pet Eldest Lady, She Just Wants To Be A Salted Fish

Chapter 12 – The retribution for forcing his sister to spend money

Ruan Yōu’s retirement plan was to buy a small detached house by the seaside and grow some fruits and vegetables to live a happy organic life.

She knew that Lu Ming’s career path and living situation were different from hers, but she still planned to visit on weekends or have Lu Ming come over to enjoy a short holiday together.

Lu Ming and her parents had helped Ruan You a lot during high school. At that time, she was already living on her own, and sometimes there was no one to attend parent-teacher meetings. Lu Ming’s mother would help her out and even make some delicious food or spicy sauce for Lu Ming to bring to her.

Now it was time for her to repay their kindness.

Ruan You had thought very far ahead when it came to buying a house.

Lu Ming was studying for her master’s degree in the same major at B University. Her grades were excellent, and her advisor had high expectations for her. She might have to live here for another three years, so buying a house near B University would avoid the annoying dormitory conflicts.

However, Lu Ming did not accept this generous gift.

In the end, Ruan Yōu could only buy the house in her own name and let Lu Ming live there. She bought a second-hand, well-decorated apartment which was only ten minutes away from the university, and easy to get there by riding a shared bicycle.

The price was not cheap, 6 million yuan.

This time, Ruan Yōu calmly spent the money she earned for her second homework.

Ruan Yōu saw the second homework as “squander”. Basically, she should act like a spoiled rich girl, mindlessly spending money and showing that she was “not suitable to be a successor” like other wealthy heirs.

Buying a house that she wouldn’t live in was a very extravagant and frivolous thing to do, wasn’t it?

On the way back, Lu Ming clenched her fists with determination and said, “Ruanruan, I will work hard and feed you well in the future.”

Ruan Yōu smiled and nodded, her clear eyes twinkling, melting people’s hearts with sweetness.

Lu Ming hugged Ruan Yōu by the waist.

“Wuwuwuwu!”
“It feels so good to know a rich woman!”
“I have a place to live, and I can even touch her slim waist!!!”

As they approached the library, Ruan Yōu suddenly remembered, “I think we can buy Shirui’s stock.”

According to the novel’s timeline, it should be the day after tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is the opening day, and the stock price of Shirui will soar.

To avoid drawing attention, Ruan Yōu didn’t buy too much, only sixty thousand shares.

But she’s not in a hurry, after all, she can slowly earn money from her private savings.

Lu Ming has some living expenses, but not much. When she heard this, she nodded repeatedly, “Okay, I believe whatever you say!”

Later on, when they enter the library, she will buy the stock. She always trusts Ruan Yōu’s abilities.

Ruan Yōu said okay, so it must be okay!

“But isn’t Shirui a subsidiary of Bozhan Group?” Before Ruan Yōu could speak, Lu Ming’s eyes lit up, and she said to herself, “When I graduate from graduate school, I should be qualified to enter Bozhan!”

Ruan Yōu was taken aback.

“Do you know Gu Fuchen? Oh, wait, you rarely pay attention to these things, so you probably don’t know. Let me tell you, Gu Fuchen is amazing. He became the richest man in just three years after taking over the company, and expanded the company’s overseas business. Our professor always talks about him as a legend and a natural successor. The development of new energy by Shirui is also his initiative after taking over,” Lu Ming added

Ruan Yōu frowned.

Is Lu Ming talking about the elder brother with low IQ?

“He’s your idol?” Ruan Yōu asked.

“Sort of.”

“What about picking someone else?” It was difficult to express, but she felt that her brother had a “collapsed house”1 risk when it came to IQ. He wasn’t a good candidate for an idol, and she racked her brain to guide her friend in the right direction. “There are still three major families in Mary Sue City, and their successors should all be excellent, like the Fu’s or others.”

Lu Ming : “Lu Jin, Jiang Huai, Fu Jiazhan?”

“En, en.”

“Oh, they’re all my idols.”

Ruan Yōu : …

“Besides them, there’s also the goddess Qi Zhiyan.”

The five mighty and prestigious successors of the top five wealthy families in China and even the entire continent!

Seeing that Lu Ming is not a blind fan of a single person but has admiration for multiple successors, Ruan Yōu let out a sigh of relief. When she dropped Lu Ming off at the library, Lu Ming was still chattering excitedly, recounting the glorious stories of the five successors and even recommending a public account dedicated to “gossip about the successors of wealthy families” to Ruan Yōu.

Ruan Yōu clicked on the account

She was surprised.

Every article had over 100,000 reads and likes, indicating a considerable number of fans.

The post that was just released yesterday read—

<IT Giant Lu Jin: How a Mature and Steady Successor Stabilizes His Empire.>

The article praises Lu Jin to the skies, emphasizing that he is different from the other three successors from the four big families, with his characteristic of being mature and steady. He showed remarkable decisiveness even in middle school, and was extremely precocious.

Like reading a storybook, Ruan Yōu read it with great interest and became even more curious about this successor whom she has never met before.

When she got home, Wei Wen asked where she would have her dinner, and Gu Fuchen was busy entertaining guests at the company.

“The seventh floor’s dining room, then.”

The second floor’s dining room was too large, and she didn’t like eating in an “airport.”

After finishing her meal, she stood to digest her food and continued reading the three new chapters of ‘The Strongest Support’, which reignited her passion for gaming.

She quickly downloaded the game and logged in with her WeChat ID, and play ranked matches.

Two hours later, she was so frustrated with her gaming experience that she wanted to curse.

She either couldn’t choose the position she wanted to play, or was inexplicably scolded by others. Even when playing the mid lane, her teammates wouldn’t give her blue buff, and when playing jungle, they would take her money!2

Ruan You closed the game in frustration.

In her WeChat messages, the newly added team manager asked her, [Boss Fat Cat, do we need to change the team name?]

Ruan Yōu was too angry to respond, so she typed, [Do whatever you want.]

[Tonight is our final live stream. After this, we will terminate our live-streaming contract with the platform and focus solely on training. Our training team has already been formed.] the manager said.

[Mhm.]

The team manager noticed that the wealthy boss was feeling down, and asked with some apprehension: [Boss, what’s not satisfactory?]

Ruan Yōu let out a sigh and said: [Nothing, just played toxic ranking matches.]

[Boss, the players are doing their final live stream today, would you like them to accompany you in playing?]

Four professional players as sparring partners…

It sounded pretty appealing.

Since it was not their training time, Ruan Yōu accepted the offer without any false pretenses and happily enjoyed the pleasure of being carried to victory by four professional players.

[I want 39.]

[No problem! Her skills are very good, it’s just that the management interfered with us before and we couldn’t do anything. During the break, we will strengthen our training and continue to work together. 39’s starting position is very secured.]

Ruan Yōu happily opened the game.

Meanwhile, 39, who rarely appeared in livestreamings, was forced to join the team’s live stream, which was changed from five-people playing the game live to “playing low-ranked matches”.

The fans were anxious when they heard that the team was going to play in the Gold rank.

[ ? It was hard to find a new boss, don’t lose now. Playing in low ranks won’t improve their skills.] A fan commented.

However, after hearing that they were going to play with the boss—

As soon as the live stream began, the barrage was flooded with comments:

[Everyone stand up and welcome the goddess!]

[No rich lady, no where we are today!]

Ruan Yōu : …

It’s not necessary to be so extreme (/▽＼)

At eight o’clock in the evening, Gu Fuchen returned home in a very good mood.

In the morning, his younger sister had sent him an emoji package and acting spoiled, this showed that their sibling relationship had taken a leap forward! No one could interfere with the harmony between him and his sister!

On his way home, he received a series of messages from Lu Jin in the ‘Successors’ WeChat group.

Lu Jin : [An official account praised me, I’m going to save it and show it to my idol later. Both she and I are beings praised by others!!]

Jiang Huai : [I suggest letting go of that celebrity.]

Fu Jiazhan : [Is it really talking about you?]

Fu Jiazhan : [Want to grab a drink? @Gu Fuchen]

G : [Going home to accompany my sister, no time.]

Fu Jiazhan : [Did she just buy an e-sport club?]

G : [How did you know?]

Shortly after, Fu Jiazhan shared a link in the group chat.

Gu Fuchen clicked on it—

Amidst the barrage of praises such as “We love our rich lady!” and “Our boss got the blue buff!” Gu Fuchen heard the voices of three young men and a young woman.

The four of them were playing games with an account named “Cat Who Tries Hard To Spend Money”2.

Gu Fuchen understood immediately.

This was Ruanruan.

On the game screen, the latest message from Cat Who Tries Hard To Spend Money was: [39, kiss kiss kiss (￣3)(ε￣)]

???

Gu Fuchen was stunned.

Is this the retribution for forcing his sister to spend money?

Watching her… kissing someone else??

At that moment, a new message popped up in the group chat.

Fu Jiazhan : [Is your heart broken? Want to grab a drink?]

Gu Fuchen : ?

Is this something a human would say?

Jiang Huai : [Is this our sister?

G : [Who has family ties with you? She’s my sister.]

Fu Jiazhan : [Let’s meet at the usual place @Gu Fuchen]

In the midst of the chaotic battle for the sister and the invitation to drink, the star chaser Lu Jin couldn’t help but interject:

Lu Jin: [Don’t worry about whether she’s your sister or not, why isn’t anyone asking me who the new star my fans are talking about is?]

He tried to draw attention to himself, and his eagerness to introduce Ruan Yōu to them was reaching its boiling point.

Why wasn’t anyone paying attention to him!

1 an exaggerated way of saying that someone is very different (usually in negative way) than the image/reputation they have.

2 in the raw, her game ID didn’t contain the word ‘fat’, maybe it’s intentional
