Chapter 029: Face the Consequences If You Refuse

This hamster is lazy and gluttonous, already so fat that it resembles a ball. Though it has spent twenty years by her side without taking human form, it is remarkably clever when it comes to matters of finance.

So today, Bai Chuwei deliberately kept Snowball with her, asking it to help investigate her assets in the outside world.

“The Tong family hasn’t repaid me for ten years?” Bai Chuwei stroked her chin, a slow smile spreading across her face.

The Tong family, naturally, refers to the family of Tong Qingyan, the heroine, whose fortune was established thanks to her grandmother, Chen Meihua. Years ago, Bai Chuwei had casually saved Chen Meihua and invested a little money. Who could have guessed that this formidable woman would grow the business so impressively? Consequently, every year Chen Meihua would transfer thirty million to Bai Chuwei’s Swiss bank account.

However, Chen Meihua passed away ten years ago, and the rest of the Tong family dismissed the matter. Ten years—three hundred million.

Bai Chuwei chuckled softly and murmured, “My money is not so easily owed.”

Propping her chin with one hand, Bai Chuwei said coolly, “Send a letter to the Tong family for me. Within a month, they must transfer four hundred million. The extra hundred million is interest for the ten years they failed to pay. If they refuse, let them face the consequences.”

Snowball, eager for drama, squeaked excitedly, “No problem, I’ll send the letter right away!”

It loved nothing more than watching its ancestor play the loan shark.

The Tong family, much like the Bai family in Haicheng, was affluent but not among the city’s elite. A bill for four hundred million would undoubtedly throw them into turmoil.

Snowball struggled to open the laptop on the table, pressing the power button and launching a Word document. Laboriously, it typed with its four little paws.

The laptop had been delivered by Bai Guofu’s arrangements while Bai Chuwei was at school.

Watching Snowball’s busy, chubby figure, Bai Chuwei grew increasingly disdainful. “Twenty years of spiritual guidance, and you still haven’t transformed into a human.”

She recalled that she once raised a white fox, which took human form after just ten years of guidance—though later…

Bai Chuwei’s expression darkened for a moment.

Snowball sat atop the chocolate-colored keyboard, a little breathless. “If I never take human form, I’ll stay with you forever, Ancestor.”

Bai Chuwei curled her lips, watching Snowball resume its work. She sat at her desk, one hand lazily propping up her chin, the other fiddling with her new phone.

Scanning the QR code, Bai Chuwei entered the WeChat group and, following protocol, changed her nickname to “Bai Chuwei.”

In such groups, with the homeroom teacher and subject teachers present, students rarely spoke.

Seeing the silence, Bai Chuwei decided to explore the phone’s apps. Just then, WeChat popped up with a friend request.

[Stardust of Last Night: Bai Chuwei, I’m Xu Xingchen from your class.]

A subtle, intriguing smile flickered in Bai Chuwei’s eyes as she accepted.

No sooner had she accepted, Xu Xingchen sent several messages—all expressing concern for the new student.

[Stardust of Last Night: Bai, I’m the class monitor of Class Nine and the math representative. If you need help, feel free to ask me. Though you’ve just transferred here and need time to adjust, Mr. Zhou Feng’s math homework must be done. He’ll check it first thing tomorrow morning.]

Bai Chuwei arched her brows and replied,

[Your Ancestor: Zhou Feng won’t be at school tomorrow. No need to do the homework.]

Xu Xingchen was momentarily stunned. She felt Bai Chuwei was overthinking—Zhou Feng was always diligent, never missing a day.

Xu Xingchen was about to refute her, when suddenly the class WeChat group exploded—99+ messages in the blink of an eye.

What on earth had happened?
