After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Honey, We Really Won the Lottery!

TL: YYang

At that moment, inside dorm 503.

“Third Brother didn’t reply?”

Huang Haibao, who was in the middle of a battle in The Rift, turned his head and asked.

Huang Haibao had seen the class beauty’s confession yesterday, and now, connecting it with Shen Yuan’s recent frequent nights away from the dorm, he felt a faint sense of worry.

Ever since Shen Yuan had moved into the dorm, he had basically always stayed at school, rarely spending the night out.

Even the one or two times he had, it was two or three months ago, back when his relationship with the senior girl hadn’t fallen apart.

“No.”

Cao Shunjin shook his head and muttered, “Could Third Brother have gone to get a room with the class beauty?”

Upon hearing this, Huang Haibao didn’t even feel like playing his game anymore. The thought of the class beauty and Third Brother hugging and kissing made his heart ache.

“It’s not impossible. After all, there are no classes tomorrow morning, so in this situation, they don’t have to wake up early,” Cao Shunjin added.

“Old Cao, shut the fuck up!”

“…”

The next morning, after calling a Didi for Fang Minhui to go back to school, Shen Yuan took a taxi home himself.

He had received the million-yuan lottery ticket reward from Fang Minhui last night, and he planned to use it to help pay off his family’s debt.

Although winning the lottery was a low-probability event, it was still believable. Compared to the other money Shen Yuan had, at least he wouldn’t have to explain its source.

In the back of the Didi, Shen Yuan summoned the panel and mentally clicked on the million-yuan lottery ticket in his inventory.

In the next second, a Double Color Ball lottery ticket appeared out of thin air in Shen Yuan’s hand.

He took a closer look and saw that the draw date on the ticket was May 16th, which was yesterday.

Shen Yuan had bought scratch-off tickets before, but never the Double Color Ball, so he looked up the rules online.

He had no idea, but one search shocked him!

The first prize was no less than five million, and could even go up to ten million!

Shen Yuan had thought a million-yuan lottery ticket was really just one million. He hadn’t expected to have underestimated his system daddy.

Shen Yuan immediately opened his browser and started searching for yesterday’s winning numbers.

If it was the first prize, all 6 red numbers and 1 blue number on the ticket would have to match.

Shen Yuan held the ticket and carefully checked it against yesterday’s winning numbers.

“3, 4, 14, 22, 26, 27… and the last one is 1!”

A perfect match!

Shen Yuan’s breathing quickened. Although he knew it was definitely a winning number, he still couldn’t suppress his excitement.

System daddy is awesome!

Shen Yuan exclaimed inwardly, then continued to check the prize money for this first prize.

“Holy shit, six million!”

Looking at the number starting with a 6 on his phone screen, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but let out a cry of surprise.

The Didi driver was startled by the shout and asked through the rearview mirror, “Young man, what six million?”

“I won six million!”

The Didi driver was amused by him and chuckled, “Young man, you must have misread the numbers. Six million isn’t that easy to win.”

“Ah, right, sorry, I misread it.”

Shen Yuan also quickly realized his mistake and laughed it off.

He still understood the principle of not flaunting one’s wealth. He had just gotten too excited for a moment and couldn’t hold it in.

In this world, there were still more poor people than rich people. Let alone strangers who would definitely be envious, even his own relatives might not want him to be better off than them.

Soon, the Didi stopped at the apartment building his family was renting. Shen Yuan got out of the car, simultaneously thinking about how he would tell Old Shen and Ms. Li Hongjuan when he went upstairs.

After all, it was a grand prize of six million!

Shen Yuan couldn’t even imagine the expressions on his dad and mom’s faces after hearing the news.

Ever since the family went bankrupt, Old Shen and Ms. Li Hongjuan had been living a frugal life. They had sold their house and rented a two-bedroom apartment without an elevator.

Old Shen had also sold his car and now rode a small electric scooter every day.

As Shen Yuan thought about this, he unknowingly climbed to the fifth floor. He took out his key, opened the door, and shouted as usual, “I’m back!”

“You’re back, you’re back, stop yelling!”

Li Hongjuan was mopping the floor at that moment. Seeing her energetic son, she was actually very pleased, but she still scolded him out of habit.

Shen Yuan was a bit impatient. “Mom, where’s Old Shen? Hurry up and get him out here. I have something important to tell him.”

“What important matter?”

Li Hongjuan saw some sweat on her son’s forehead. She put down the mop, walked to the refrigerator, took out a slice of iced watermelon, and handed it to him. “Your dad went out to run some errands. He should be back soon.”

“Alright, then I’ll tell you both together when he gets back.”

Shen Yuan smiled and took the watermelon, taking a big bite.

Ms. Li Hongjuan was the typical type with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Although she spoke harshly, she was ultimately concerned about him.

Finally, at 11:30, Old Shen pushed open the door and returned home.

At this moment, Old Shen was covered in sweat, his front and back soaked through, and he was holding an electric scooter helmet in his hand.

After all, it was over thirty degrees outside today, and it was noon. Riding an electric scooter in this weather was definitely not comfortable.

But from now on, Old Shen wouldn’t have to ride an electric scooter anymore. With this prize money, not only could they pay off their debts, but the family could also get a new house, and the remaining money could be used to buy a good car.

Shen Yuan thought happily to himself and greeted him, “Old Shen, you’re back.”

“Mmm.”

Shen Heping glanced at Shen Yuan as he changed his shoes. “Why did you decide to come home for a meal today?”

Shen Yuan smiled mysteriously. “I have something important to tell you guys today.”

“What is it?”

“Come on, you two sit on the sofa, and I’ll tell you.”

Shen Yuan pulled both of them to sit on the sofa, while he himself looked as if he was about to announce some major good news.

Li Hongjuan and Shen Heping watched Shen Yuan quietly, wanting to see what trick he had up his sleeve.

“Dad, Mom, we’re rich!”

“I won six million!”

Shen Yuan finished excitedly, expecting them to be shocked, but to his surprise, not only did Old Shen and Li Hongjuan have no reaction, but the way they looked at him was as if they were looking at an idiot.

“Shen Yuan, did you fry your brain in college?”

Li Hongjuan rolled her eyes and stood up to walk into the kitchen.

Won six million? You’re so amazing, why don’t you just fly to the sky!

Shen Heping, on the other hand, had a concerned expression. “Shen Yuan, have you been under too much pressure lately? I’ll take care of the family’s debts, you don’t have to worry too much.”

“…”

Shen Yuan’s face was full of black lines. He had no choice but to take the lottery ticket out of his pocket and hand it to Shen Heping. “Old Shen, check for yourself if this is the first-prize number for this round of the Double Color Ball.”

Shen Heping took the ticket and glanced at it, then looked up at Shen Yuan and saw that he didn’t seem to be joking. So, he took out his phone and started checking the winning numbers.

Shen Heping used to buy the Double Color Ball often and was very familiar with the rules and how to check.

After finding today’s winning numbers, he subconsciously started to check them, muttering to himself, “3, 4, 14, 22…”

When he found that the first four numbers were all correct, the expression on Shen Heping’s face suddenly became solemn.

“26, 27, 1…”

When he saw that the last number also matched, Shen Heping took a sharp breath.

“Honey, we really won the lottery!”

“…”
