Chapter 867 - 599: Almost Missed It
He took out his phone and began searching for a Bitcoin website.
"What?"
Liang Yong reacted as if he'd heard the biggest joke in the world, staring at Xia Liang, finally bursting into laughter.
"You? Have Bitcoin too? Are you kidding me?"
Liang Yong laughed wildly.
"Can you afford Bitcoin? Forty thousand Eagle Coins each! It's not like it's instant noodles!"
Beside them, Fourth Aunt also said with an unhappy expression.
"Xia Liang! What are you doing at a time like this? Your brother is so worried he's almost on the roof. Why are you still causing trouble?"
Xia Liang smiled and said.
"I'm just checking."
Then Xia Liang pressed his phone, accessed his account, and patted his chest.
"Scared me to death! The Bitcoin is still there!"
It showed clearly, 500 Bitcoins!
Liang Yong was stunned, what the heck?
Although he didn't have a single Bitcoin, he had seen the images those Bitcoin big shots posted, right?
On the Bitcoin forum, many Bitcoin big shots would post images to show off.
Just like this!
Exactly the same.
Xia Liang, actually has, 500 Bitcoins?
That means, his account is worth over a hundred yuan?
Liang Yong was dumbfounded! Although Fourth Aunt didn't understand, she saw Xia Liang's account and also pointed and shouted.
"Eh? Xia Liang, it seems like you have money in your account? Is this 500, worth half a cent?"
Beside them, Jiu Xuechen, a young person, immediately had eyes filled with admiration!
"Wow! Xia Liang! You actually have 500 Bitcoins? Worth over a hundred bucks! Oh my god!"
Jiu Xuechen's scream startled Fourth Aunt.
She was stunned, over a hundred bucks, she had been bragging for so long, theoretically her son only owned 25 bucks, and even that was trapped in an inaccessible account.
But in Xia Liang's account, there was really over a hundred bucks lying there.
Fourth Aunt's voice trembled.
"Xia... Xia Liang, are you that rich?"
Xia Liang smiled slightly.
"No, I'm just holding these Bitcoins for a friend who trades them, how could I have money to buy so many Bitcoins myself?"
They exchanged glances, holding for a friend? Who are you kidding?
But Fourth Aunt sighed with relief.
"Oh, is that so? No wonder."
Liang Yong's smile reappeared on his face.
"Xia Liang, why didn't you say so earlier, you scared me. I really thought you struck it rich, heh heh~ Indeed, I don't even have a Bitcoin, how could you?"
Liang Yong didn't expect to blurt out his thoughts, quickly laughing it off.
"Haha, I mean, I don't have that many Bitcoins, how could Xia Liang have them?"
Trying to explain forcefully was the most fatal. Everyone laughed and joked, easing the awkwardness.
But the awkwardness in the air couldn't be dispelled.
Liang Yong secretly glanced at Jiu Xuechen.
This Jiu Xuechen was a model he found on a rental platform.
It said, "Going home for the New Year, high-end rental, professional model, elegant flight attendant, all for rent."
Liang Yong originally thought the photos were deceiving, but upon meeting, he was surprised to find she was genuinely beautiful.
Liang Yong instantly had an idea, wealth comes with risk, time for complex operations!
Showing off both ways.
First, rent a girlfriend, go home and show off to the family.
Also, show off to the model "goddess," show how wealthy you are, to trick her into marriage in the future!
Bold as a programmer.
Unfortunately, it went badly, and he blew his cover!
Just binged Xia Liang with a forced display of wealth, not only got exposed but also countered instantly.
Jiu Xuechen now rested her chin on her hand, gazing at Xia Liang's handsome profile, deep in thought, her eyes filled with endless tenderness and admiration.
Liang Yong called her several times, but there was no response.
Liang Yong felt something was wrong.
The 1600 mililiter per day expensive "New Year girlfriend" he rented, after his mighty show-off operation...
Had her heart shift to Xia Liang? The Xia Liang who owns Bitcoins worth over a hundred bucks?
How could this be? His face gradually turned a deep shade of red, and Fourth Aunt, a shrewd woman, noticed something was off too.
She tried several times to engage Jiu Xuechen in conversation, but Jiu Xuechen didn't much respond and instead tried to chat with Xia Liang.
Xia Liang didn't engage with Jiu Xuechen either.
The atmosphere in the room grew increasingly strange, Fourth Aunt's face turned green with anger, she pulled Liang Yong aside.
"Son, come with me."
She took Liang Yong to the guest room and began whispering, no one knew what they were talking about, but Xia Liang, with sharp ears, seemed to hear a heated argument between mother and son.
The scene grew intense, the voices grew louder.
"What's wrong with this girlfriend of yours? Why does she keep staring at Xia Liang?"
"How would I know? I'm so annoyed! Mom! It's all your fault!"
"How is it my fault? This girlfriend you brought, isn't she looking down on us and aiming for Xia Liang? This is such a disgrace for the family!"
"I don't know what to do either!"
Liang Yong in the room was gradually going crazy.
The 1600 mililiter a day rented model girlfriend was actually interested in Xia Liang?
What can I do? I'm desperate too.
"You have to keep women in check!"
Fourth Aunt was furious with shame.
"Let me tell you, Liang Yong! If the girlfriend you brought ends up running away with Xia Liang, I won't be able to show my face in this house. Understand? It's a terrible disgrace for the family!"
Liang Yong, enraged, almost flipped the table.
"What can I do?"
"Isn't she your girlfriend? You should manage her!"
Fourth Aunt's voice was sharp and forceful.
"Or has the world turned upside down? Girls today with their flirtatious ways and no sense of shame?"
"Shush shush shush!"
Liang Yong, hearing his mom so agitated that she even started cursing, quickly went to cover her mouth.
"Please stop, mom, I beg you, if it weren't for your mouth, I wouldn't be in this mess."
Fourth Aunt, angry and humiliated.
"Are you too embarrassed to say anything? I'll go teach that seductress a lesson! Make her follow the rules of our family."
"No, no, no!"
Liang Yong, feeling guilty as a thief, dared not let his mom scold his girlfriend.
This girlfriend was one he rented, with nothing but a monetary relationship.
If his mom scolded her and she got really upset, Jiu Xuechen might just ditch him for Xia Liang, and he'd truly make a name for himself back home.
He could only shake his head despondently.
"Mom, please don't worry about this, I'll handle it myself."
"Look at you, what a lack of ambition!"
Fourth Aunt had no doubt about Liang Yong's prowess, still believing her son was wealthy and capable, just unlucky to have found a disloyal girlfriend, she took on the posture of a wealthy woman, hands on hips, scolding sternly.
"You have so much wealth, so many advantages, are you actually afraid of her? If it doesn't work, just dump her, I'll find you someone! With our family's conditions, there are plenty willing to stick around."
Liang Yong's face was a bitter melon!
Inside, he felt bitter, but he couldn't cry.
Because his so-called "successful persona" was also fake, leaving him in such awkward straits, accepted by neither side.
