Chapter 920: Zhao Xi’s Net Worth
Little did Shu Yu know that just as she was eating her meal and had this thought, come bedtime, Daya presented her with a wooden box.
Upon opening the box, it gleamed with several large-denomination silver notes and some pieces of silver.
Shu Yu was certain that Daya didn’t have that much money, she looked up in a daze and asked, "Where did this money come from?"
Daya’s face showed embarrassment mingled with anger, "It was given by Zhao, Doctor Zhao."
A question mark slowly formed on Shu Yu’s forehead.
Daya pursed her lips, speaking in a low voice, "Yesterday he talked a lot to me, and even said he had forgotten how much wealth he had, promising to count it and then come back to tell me. Turns out he did come today, and indeed he brought all the money, thrusting it all upon me as soon as he saw me, saying it was for me to keep for him, I, I..."
She wanted to return it, but Zhao Xi ran faster than a rabbit.
She chased him to the Meng family’s doorstep, knocked for a long while but no one answered.
Today was originally the day the old lady took Dahu to the school to pay a visit to Master Wen, but neighbors came over early in the morning, and the old lady couldn’t get away, so she had Dahu go find Meng Yunzheng to take him to meet the teacher.
