Chapter 80: To Be Honest, Your Act Is Quite Impressive!

Gong Lu smiled. “One day, you’ll tell me yourself who you really are.”

Ye Luo only let out a cold snort, not bothering to respond to him, and got straight to the point: “Give me your bank account number. I’ll calculate all the expenses I’ve incurred during the year I’ve been living here and pay you back. From now on, as long as I’m still living here, I’ll transfer money to your account every month, on time.”

Gong Lu raised an eyebrow. “Must you keep things so clear-cut between us?”

“Yes.”

For once, Gong Lu seemed a little helpless, letting out a barely audible sigh and murmuring, “Luo Luo, things between us can never be so easily settled…”

Ye Luo understood there was a deeper meaning in his words, but since she didn’t want to keep playing his endless guessing games, she left it alone.

Gong Lu said nothing more. He bent down, opened the drawer beside the bed, took out a pen and a sticky note, and casually wrote his account number for her.

As soon as Ye Luo received the note, she turned and left.

Back in her room, she immediately made a transfer to the account number on the note.

The moment the transfer succeeded, her bank sent her a notification: four million had left her account.

Gazing at the two million or so still remaining, Ye Luo narrowed her eyes, realizing she would have to earn much more.

Becoming stronger had its prerequisites—money, and plenty of it.

With money, things got done. Life itself was inseparable from it.

With that in mind, Ye Luo took apart her phone, retrieved the modification tools she had previously purchased, and began upgrading the phone’s chip.

Once the phone was modified and running at lightning speed, she installed a translation app as well.

With the phone at her side, she would be able to translate anytime, anywhere.

It would make things much more convenient—and allow her to take on even more translation jobs.

She planned to start investing once her savings reached fifty million, letting her money multiply on its own.

Since she intended to attend classes at school the next day, Ye Luo didn’t stay up too late; she was asleep by two in the morning.

…

The next day was Monday. As soon as Ye Luo reached the door of her classroom and saw that the embarrassing banner outside had finally been taken down, she let out a small sigh of relief.

Entering the classroom, she saw the “Old Ancestor” sprawled asleep at his desk, but said nothing.

Still, she became even more determined to take first place in this weekend’s monthly exam, so the Old Ancestor would be inspired to study hard and get into K University.

At the start of class, Ye Luo took out her phone to browse the web.

She logged into the translation forum to see if anyone needed her services.

When she saw a request, she accepted the job.

She began operating the translation app on her phone, translating for others.

Near the end of the second period, just as she was about to put away her phone, she received a private message.

It was from a publishing house that had previously asked her to translate many best-selling books.

They said they had a document from Country T—just over two thousand words—with some grammatical issues. They didn’t know how to fix it and were in a hurry to publish, so they hoped she could help correct it quickly.

It was such a minor thing that Ye Luo agreed to help right away, not even asking for payment. She accepted the Word document they sent, directly to her phone.

She opened the file and quickly read through the foreign text.

There were indeed some grammatical errors; it wasn’t perfectly rigorous. Ye Luo corrected them all.

As she was revising the document, the bell announcing the end of class rang.

Ye Wuqi, who sat in front of her, was jolted awake by the bell. Opening his eyes, he immediately saw Ye Luo’s head bent over her phone, engrossed in something. Curious, he leaned over for a look.

He saw the screen filled with foreign text—he couldn’t even tell which language, let alone understand it. He burst out laughing.

He grinned at Ye Luo and said, “Honestly, Sister Luo, you really know how to put on a show.”

Ye Luo: "…"
