Ling Che sat up straight on the floor. He wasn't worried in the slightest because he knew that Mo Qiang and Yin Fu wouldn't let anything happen to him. With someone protecting him, his confidence was emboldened and he calmly knelt on the floor of his old room.
It had been more than three years since he last stepped in this room. After all, once he became the big-shot chef, how could his family let him stay in this small room that was not even as big as his elder sister's wardrobe? Thus, they brought him to a bigger room. But now, as he sat inside the small room, pondering,. Ling Che realised that he was just worth this small room.
Outside the room, the Ling family was having a small celebration. With the advance payment that they had received, they ordered a bunch of things, including the King Crabs and were having a feast.
Second Sister Ling was excitedly speaking about the new mecha craft that she wanted to buy. "We can buy this craft and then set it up for business purposes and on the weekends we can bring it around. We only need to put in a little effort, and we will be able to eat and earn more without doing anything."
The happiest was Mother Ling. She had been waiting for her daughters to bring back Ling Che. Now that the mer was finally here, she raised the glass full of mead and gulped it down. She was no longer worried and continued to eat her food. But when she heard the discussion of her daughters, she immediately objected, "What do you want to start a new business venture for? Have you forgotten the good things that you two have done in the past? All of our family fortune was splurged by the two of you. Just do the jobs that Miss Xu will introduce to you two and there is nothing extra to do."
When Elder Sister Ling and Second Sister Ling heard the objection of their mother, they couldn't help but get angry. Though the job that Xu Tingfang offered them was good, it was only sufficient for them to eat, drink and sleep peacefully. How were they supposed to live the luxurious life that they wanted?
Shouldn't their mother be supporting them? And anyway, they hadn't lost so much money. It was just that their luck was not good back then.
Second Sister Ling wanted to fight with her mother impulsively but she was stopped by Elder Sister Ling, who shook her head.
Sister Ling then said to her mother, "Mom, if we don't start a side business, how will we manage our accounts in the future? The job that Miss Xu offered is nonetheless good for me but I can only feed you and daddy two meals a day without doing anything extra."
"Let me tell you that it's impossible for you to go outside and gamble. What's more, even though Miss Ling has repaid a part of the debt that you owed, you are forgetting that you still owe the three aunts and your six brothers and friends money. How are we going to get the remaining two million star coins to pay them? If you want to pay back the debt through our compensation, then I will not stop you."
Elder Sister Ling said these words deliberately because she knew that there was no way her mother would pay back the money with her own pockets and that too when they didn't have enough funds.
Anyway, the one who was used to living a luxurious life was not her or her second sister; it was their mother!
