Chapter 266
Chapter 265
“Please look, this is your grand residence in Xuzhou, this is your gallant figure while horse racing, this is your first time playing the piano, this is you having afternoon tea at the Rose Manor in Italy, this is you flying to the North Pole to see the aurora.”
The person speaking was in tears, “I am your butler.”
The butler clapped her hands again, and several more people stepped forward, opening their suitcases. “This suitcase contains all your property ownership certificates. I only brought a portion, all of your favorite buildings and estates, distributed across the world.”
“This suitcase contains the certificates for your cruise ships, private jets, and helicopters.”
“This suitcase contains proof of the islands and real estate you own.”
…
Zhong Ning’s mouth fell open. Zhong Mom and Madam Zhong also had their mouths wide open. Even though Xie Shiqing had grown up in a top-tier wealthy family, she could not help but lose her composure a little.
It was not that they were overwhelmed by wealth, but rather shocked by this… bizarre scene before them.
So, so illogical!
Xie Shiqing took a light breath, “Wait, stop displaying them for now.”
“Are you sure the person you’re looking for is me? I really don’t have any impression at all. Don’t mistake me for someone else.”
The butler looked at her with loving kindness and took out a thick photo album from her arms. “Miss, please look. These are photos of you from childhood to adulthood.”
“Moreover, I have already used satellite tracking. Miss drove your favorite Blue Star all the way from Xuzhou, and on the road, you met this Miss Zhong and stayed with her for a day.”
“What you are wearing is the latest new release from SY, delivered to your home two days ago. The watch on your wrist is from Xiang Wenli, also delivered together.”
Xie Shiqing: “…So, I am the world’s richest person.”
The butler nodded in relief, “Miss has finally remembered her identity? That’s wonderful.”
Xie Shiqing raised her phone, “But there’s no related information in my phone. It’s blank.”
The butler looked at her with affectionate indulgence, as if looking at her stubborn granddaughter. “That is a new phone you just bought, of course there’s nothing on it. This is the one you usually use.”
She handed the phone to Xie Shiqing, then turned to look at the stunned Zhong Ning. “Thank you for allowing us to find Miss ahead of time. This is a token of gratitude prepared for you—only one hundred million. Please accept it.”
As she spoke, she took out a card and handed it over.
Zhong Ning: Ah this this this…
No! Did I walk too long and my brain stopped working? I’ve never heard of something like the world’s richest person!
Xie Shiqing flipped through this “usual phone.” The moment her fingerprint successfully unlocked it, she started to believe it a little.
Mainly because she had already experienced something like transmigration, she had developed a strong mental resilience. In this world, anything could happen. Having an original identity was not impossible to understand.
There were many photos in the phone, all of her. Every word and action on the social accounts was also something she would say—very consistent with her personality.
Butler: “Miss, please come home with us. Or if you still wish to tour around here, that is also fine.”
“As the richest person, we still have many important matters to handle.”
Xie Shiqing paused, then asked, “What matters? Are there business affairs in the company that need handling?”
The butler spoke righteously and decisively, “Of course it’s spending money!”
Xie Shiqing: “……”
It was rare for her to feel speechless. Now it was truly a first. What was going on with this world? This so-called richest person seemed so unreal, so unreliable.
As if seeing through her thoughts, the butler added, “You may not believe it, but that’s alright. We can go to the city hall to check and look at the assets under your name. Then you will believe it.”
Xie Shiqing glanced at Zhong Ning. Zhong Ning manually lifted her dropped jaw back up, “How about… we go take a look?”
“I’ll keep this card for now. Mom, Mother, you two go to work as usual. Shiqing and I will go check it out. Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
The two parents said in unison, “We’re going too!”
“What’s the point of opening the shop today? Closing for a day won’t matter.”
Zhong Mom pulled Zhong Ning into the room and asked with a serious expression, “Aren’t you friends with her? How do you not know she’s the world’s richest person?”
Zhong Ning: Even if I said it, you wouldn’t believe it. She really didn’t know—and the richest person herself was also completely confused.
Zhong Ning could only reply vaguely, “I only knew she was rich, but I didn’t know she was this rich.”
Zhong Mom grabbed her wrist, “Tell Mom, what exactly is your relationship with her? Are you in a relationship?”
Zhong Ning was shocked, “How did you know?”
After everything she had been through, her acting skills had improved!
Zhong Mom poked her forehead with a finger, “Do you think I’m stupid? Bathing together and sleeping in the same room—if that’s not a relationship, then what is?”
After speaking, her expression turned worried again, “If what those people said is true, then the difference between our families is just too big… Little Ning, I’m afraid you’ll suffer a loss.”
“Since you were young, I’ve taught you that whether there’s a lot of money or a little doesn’t matter. Spiritual fulfillment and happiness are the most important. Our family may not be rich or noble, but we can be considered well-off. We’ve never let you and your sister go without.”
Zhong Mom sighed, “But compared to them, we’re worlds apart. Her daily expenses are at a level we couldn’t reach even if we sold our house. Over time, people can easily develop an inferiority complex…”
Zhong Ning held her hand in return, “Mom, she’s not the kind of person who bullies others by relying on power, and she’s not just playing around. I’m your daughter—don’t you understand my personality?”
“If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll just buy a few more lottery tickets. Maybe I’ll hit a big jackpot, and then we’ll cross social classes too.”
Zhong Mom sighed.
Was that something a lottery could solve…
“Alright, alright, look on the bright side. She definitely can’t scam my money, right?”
Zhong Ning hugged her, “Don’t think too much. Things will work themselves out when the time comes.”
Zhong Mom rolled her eyes at her, “That attitude of yours is exactly the same as that deadbeat!”
She planted two quick kisses on her face before Xie Shiqing finally smiled.
The two of them walked out of the private booth hand in hand, both wearing smiles. When the butler saw this, a very complicated yet moved expression appeared on her face.
“Miss hasn’t smiled like this in a long time.”
Zhong Ning: This world… has become so unfamiliar to me.
The corner of Xie Shiqing’s mouth twitched slightly as well, but she had somewhat adapted to the “world’s richest” style.
“Do I have any villas here?”
The butler replied, “Only three. You hadn’t come here before, so you only remotely purchased three villas in the best locations and didn’t acquire too many other properties. Now is a good time to spend a bit.”
She added considerately, “Miss is still wearing yesterday’s clothes. How about we make the mall our first stop? Everyone is invited to come along.”
Zhong Ning: “Mom, Mother, want to go shopping? Fully covered.”
The two parents hesitated, yet were eager to try.
Zhong Ning looked completely at ease. “It’s settled then. Let’s go!”
Chapter 89 Extra 2
Zhong Ning had already experienced transmigration—twice, in fact. Faced with such unreasonable situations, she had developed an extremely casual worldview—no matter what kind of setting it was, just bring it on.
She accepted everything without the slightest objection.
Xie Shiqing was the same.
But Zhong Ning’s mom and mother were not nearly as calm.
The world’s richest—that was the world’s richest! Just those four words together were enough to leave people stunned.
The life of the wealthy was something they could not even begin to imagine.
It was like how a person is limited by their own perspective—just as a farmer could only imagine an emperor using a golden hoe.
However, today’s visit to the mall was indeed eye-opening.
Aside from the butler, only four attendants followed them.
As soon as they arrived at the mall, the manager came over, her smile warm and attentive. But the butler waved her off. “Our Miss doesn’t like being followed. Please attend to your own work.”
The manager had a round, prosperous-looking face. Seeing this, she smiled amiably. “Alright, alright. Then I won’t disturb Miss Xie. I hope Miss Xie enjoys her shopping.”
She left, but not before repeatedly instructing her staff to notify all the luxury store owners to perk up, stay alert, and properly receive this god of wealth.
The luxury stores were all lined up upstairs, but before heading up, Xie Shiqing took the initiative to ask, “Do you want some milk tea?”
Zhong Ning: “Yes! Mom, Mother, do you want something to drink?”
Zhong Ning’s mom and mother: “No, no.”
They were about to visit luxury stores—wouldn’t it be inappropriate to carry milk tea inside?
The older couple was still quite restrained, their smiles a bit stiff as they said, “You young people go shopping, we won’t follow along. We don’t want to disturb your fun. We don’t understand what’s trendy anyway—our tastes are outdated.”
