My Evil Cinderella: Taming a Villainous Wife Chapter 50 - Are you broke again?

After accompanying Shi Enxi in her shopping routine to brighten up her mood, Lu Mello dropped her by the Rosarium dormitory due to her request.

"Should I come and pick you up later?" Asked Lu Mello, watching her as she took off her black wig.

"No, you don't have to. I'll be staying here today."

Lu Mello frowned, "Why?"

"Didn't I tell you back then that I will only be spending the weekends with you while weekdays are for my work." She looked at him with a smile. "Besides, we can't continue on our wedding night since I'm still on my period."

He pursed his lips and crossed his arms, "I do not agree with you not coming home to me during weekdays."

"Then you just have to get used to it." She tied up her blonde hair into a ponytail before she took her glasses and wore it. When she saw the pout on Lu Mello's lips, she couldn't help but chuckle. She leaned and pecked his pouting lips lightly before she went out of the car. "Bye, darling."

Lu Mello sighed in defeat. He watched Sho Enxi enter the building from inside the car.

"Mr. Lu, where are we going now?"

"To work." Lu Mello took his phone out and scanned through his contacts before making a call to someone.

After a few rings, the call went through.

"Hello?" A gentle and yet somewhat lazy voice of a man was heard from the other line.

"Cousin Liqin, are you free?"

"If you're going to ask me to help you with something again, you have to pay your balance first." The man's monotone's voice said. "You still have a balance of 500,000 RMB and I will not accept any requests until you pay up."

"..." Didn't he have a balance of 100,000 RMB? How did it become that much?!

"Qinqin, we are cousins, how can you treat me that way? I thought that you have given me a discount!"

"What discount? I didn't give you any."

"... Are you broke again?" Lu Mello couldn't help but ask.

"..." Xia Liqin, Lu Mello's cousin was silent on the other line.

Lu Mello couldn't help but heave out a heavy sigh when he didn't hear anything from him. "Your parents are crazy rich and you're the president of the Xia company, how can you be broke?"

Xia company was at it's highest peak so how can a person like him ask for more money?

"Company money and family money are different matters so this line of work for me is different as well."

If there was someone who was very tight in using money, Xia Liqin would be that person. He won't even use the money for his own self no matter what. He was living away from his family in a small apartment. He was a very miser man. 

Just like his mother, Xia Liqin was a genius when it came into technologies. Every ability he gained was inherited from his mother, Li Bingbing.

"Or is it because your sister got your money again?"

Xia Liqin may be a miser man but there could only be one reason on why his saved money would suddenly fly away from him and that was none other than his older sister, Lu Mengjie. 

"Dad won't still give Jiejie some money, he won't also allow her to use her cards so everything is blocked. I don't have a choice but to help her in feeding her men."

"..." Lu Mello didn't want to talk about their family matters anymore so he decided to get into the business. "I'll send you the money right now."

"Thanks. Anyway, what kind of job are you going to give me?"

"I want you to dig out every information on a man named Wang Hao."

"That would cost 2,000,000 RMB"

"..." What the hell?! Wasn't that so overpricing?! This was a robbery in broad daylight!

When Xia Liqin didn't hear anything on Lu Mello's side, he sighed. "Fine, I'll give you a discount. It'll be 1,500,000 RMB instead."

"Xi'er!" Fan Xiao Yao smiled happily when she saw Shi Enxi by the living room.

Fan Xiao Yao was wearing her bathrobe and had a towel wrapped around her head. "Did you just arrive?"

"Yes, I did." Shi Enxi was hugging Vanilla in her arms. 

"I heard from senior Huang that you got married to Mello, congratulations."

Huang Li told her?

Shi Enxi couldn't help but analyze the look on Fan Xiao Yao's face. Her smile was a bit forced but there was no sign of crying in her eyes.

Fan Xiao Yao felt uneasy with the way Shi Enxi was looking at her so she decided to change the topic, "Anyway, I have received a message from director Gao."

She continued, "He told me that he wanted me to take Sun Bore's role. I don't have to join the audition too. I haven't given him a reply yet since I've been wanting to tell it to you."
