At the Cheng family.
It was almost 9 pm when Cheng Qianqian arrived at the Cheng residence, but the living room of the villa was still brightly lit at that moment. Cheng Ruohuai was sitting on the main seat while Zhang Huilan sat by the side. Even Cheng Jinzhi was present.
Mother and daughter frowned the moment they saw Cheng Qianqian enter, and Cheng Jinzhi even snorted coldly. Cheng Ruohuai glanced at her. She pouted and did not say anything.
"I heard that you won the championship at the game today."
Cheng Ruohuai spoke when Cheng Qianqian had just sat down.
"Yea, I won." Cheng Qianqian said lightly.
"There must be a lot of prize money from the Go tournament!"
Cheng Qianqian looked up at him. "3 million, in US dollars."
"Hmm."
Cheng Ruohuai pondered for a while. "You're still young. It's not safe for you to be holding so much money. Besides, you don't need to use any money since you eat and stay in school. Go change the card number when you go back to school tomorrow, and transfer it to my card instead."
Cheng Qianqian sneered. "Is Daddy interested in such a small amount of money?"
"What are you saying? Of course, I don't care about this little bit of money. I'm doing this for your own good. Do you know how to handle so much money? Wouldn't it cause more trouble if you're cheated by someone with ulterior motives?!"
"Don't worry about that. I've already spent it."
"What!"
Cheng Ruohuai was shocked. Then, he flew into a rage. "B*stard! How could you spend so much money without saying a word?! Where did you spend it?! Hurry up and go get it back!"
"You don't have to worry about that. I have the right to deal with the money since I won it!"
"How dare you talk to me like that!"
Cheng Qianqian frowned and dug her ears impatiently. "If that's the reason you called me back, then I'm leaving!"
"Stop right there!" Zhang Huilan stood up and shouted at Cheng Qianqian.
"Did you cheat your sister of 500,000 yuan today? Return the money to her immediately, or I'll make you pay!"
"Cheat?" Cheng Qianqian raised her eyebrows. "When did I cheat her?"
"You're still denying it!" Cheng Jinzhi pointed at Cheng Qianqian and shouted. "You clearly know how to play Go, yet you still made a bet with me and embarrassed me in front of so many people. You even made me give you 500,000 yuan. It's all in black and white, and there's the bank transfer record. You can't deny it!"
"Oh, so you're talking about that 500,000 yuan!"
Cheng Qianqian spread her hands. "You said it yourself that it's all in black and white. You lost the bet and gave it to me unconditionally. Since when did I cheat you!"
"How would I have made a bet with you if you hadn't pretended that you didn't know how to play Go!"
"It's my business to pretend, but you're the fool for believing it!" Cheng Qianqian sneered. "If you're willing to bet, you have to accept your loss. Since you've given me the 500,000 yuan, it's mine. Besides, I've already spent it. I can't get it back."
"You!"
"Shut up!" Cheng Ruohuai shouted angrily, interrupting their argument.
"Cheng Qianqian, I order you to bring back all the money you won today. Otherwise, you can get out of this house!"
Cheng Qianqian pursed her lips and stared at Cheng Ruohuai without moving.
Seeing that Cheng Qianqian was afraid, Cheng Ruohuai curled his lips smugly. "As long as you hand over the money obediently, we'll pretend that nothing happened in the past. You're still the daughter of the Cheng family!"
"Since you've said so, let's cut ties!" Cheng Qianqian said straightforwardly. "Do you want to announce this in the papers or do you want to go by the law?"
