Chapter 37: Don’t Tell Grandpa!

After touching her leg, Xia Yu immediately realized his mistake.

Xu Youxiang was very sensitive about her paralyzed legs; under certain circumstances, this could be considered provocative behavior.

However, although Xu Youxiang scolded him for being overly flirtatious, she didn’t seem angry about the leg incident, which made Xia Yu reflect.

Without showing any reaction, he quietly moved his hand away and grabbed the mouse again.

Once the effect of the experience card wore off, he gave up on studying.

Studying without an experience card was too inefficient. It was better to slack off, since slacking off would grant game points, and game points could be exchanged for experience cards.

After browsing through Xu Youxiang’s computer, Xia Yu couldn’t find TEM—the game platform in this world.

Now there was a problem: if Xu Youxiang didn’t even have TEM, how could she possibly have those games that required purchase to play?

He couldn’t use his own bank card to create an account either—it would be discovered. As for using Xu Youxiang’s money to buy games…

He wasn’t capable of doing that yet.

He downloaded a free shooting game and started playing it.

After eight hours, the time was up, and he returned to his own body.

Regaining control of her body, Xu Youxiang stretched her hand and looked at the game icon on the computer screen, thinking to herself:

Is this game really that fun?

She moved the mouse and clicked into the game.

…

Meanwhile, An Siyao hesitated for a long time before finally clenching her teeth and making a phone call.

In the corporate building of Da Wei Capital in Shangjingshi, company executives were holding a meeting.

“…What happened with your investment in Shanguo Tech? In a situation where we approached them first, how could Dongfeng Capital snatch the deal away from us!”

An elderly man with white hair but a vigorous spirit severely reprimanded a subordinate with an authoritative tone.

The department head who was called out stood up, sweating profusely: “It’s my fault. I originally thought I could negotiate a lower price, but I didn’t expect Dongfeng Capital to secretly contact them and offer 80 million directly. The company’s CEO was also a hothead and accepted immediately. My budget was a full 100 million!”

“Don’t make excuses! Didn’t you know to learn about the other party’s character before negotiations!” After scolding one subordinate, the old man turned his gaze to another executive.

Although the remaining executives weren’t sweating, they were all somewhat nervous.

Even the secretary standing to the side felt tense.

At that moment, a mobile phone suddenly rang.

“Whose phone is that? Step forward!” The old man slammed the table.

Everyone’s gaze turned to the secretary.

The secretary immediately admitted her mistake.

However, no one blamed her—secretaries needed to keep their phones on to deal with emergencies.

“What is it?” the old man asked the secretary.

“A call for the young miss,” the secretary said, glancing at the screen.

At this, the old man’s eyes lit up.

“End the meeting here. Dismiss!”

In the astonished gazes of the executives, the old man quickly pulled the secretary into an adjacent office.

After closing the door, the old man excitedly wiped his hands on his suit and reached for the phone in the secretary’s arms: “Yao Yao called me? Yao Yao called me?”

The secretary nervously said: “It’s not the phone you gave me—it’s my personal phone.”

“What? It’s not for me, it’s for you?” The old man’s eyes narrowed.

The secretary began to tremble—she could feel the murderous intent in the chairman’s gaze.

“Why are you still standing there? If it’s a call from Yao Yao, why aren’t you answering quickly!” the old man scolded.

The secretary then pressed the answer button.

“Young miss… Hmm… Checking a bank account? …Okay… Don’t tell the chairman?” The secretary glanced at the chairman who was eavesdropping.

The old man glared at her, and she immediately replied: “Yes, yes, I promise not to tell the chairman!”

After the secretary ended the call, the old man grabbed her shoulders: “What did Yao Yao say?”

“Young miss said she wants to check the information of a bank account holder.” The secretary stated the account number.

The old man nodded, tightening his grip on the secretary’s shoulders slightly: “You promised Yao Yao you wouldn’t tell me, yet you deceived her!”

“???”

The secretary opened her mouth, speechless.

“To call you instead… This child of mine still trusts you so much. You and her mother… Sigh, you must take good care of her.” The old man didn’t press further and released his grip.

Relieved, the secretary said: “Then I’ll go check the account now?”

“Go ahead, remember to find a good excuse.”

“Economic fraud?”

“Report back to me once you find anything.” The old man waved his hand, dismissing the secretary.

He sat in the chair, deep in thought.

One hundred and twenty-six days without seeing his granddaughter—why would she call his secretary to check a bank account without telling him?

He pulled up An Siyao’s account and discovered that she had transferred 100,000 to that account.

Picking up his phone, the old man dialed another number. On the other end was an agent he had stationed at the villa to protect his granddaughter.

After listening to a report, the old man hung up the phone and continued pondering.

Yao Yao actually subdued those maids and the head maid? Transforming directly from a well-behaved young lady into a rebellious girl who often stayed up late?

Rebellion was good! Youth should be full of vigor!

However…

A young girl suddenly changing like this and transferring money to an account—there was probably only one explanation!

Which brat did this!

The old man paced back and forth in the office until his secretary brought him the investigation results, finally calming him down.

Turns out it was a girl named Xu Youxiang—her name sounded quite nice.

Wait a minute, a girl was even worse!

What should he do now!

Seeing the chairman getting anxious, the secretary carefully asked: “Young miss is waiting. Can I reply to her now?”

With the old man’s approval, the secretary told An Siyao the information about Xu Youxiang.

“You didn’t let Grandpa know, right?” An Siyao asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry, the chairman is in a meeting!”

Hearing the secretary’s words, An Siyao felt relieved. She hung up and looked at the information she had written down.

Xu Youxiang, 21 years old, third-year student at Huada’s Computer Science Department, home address…

So this was that disabled woman?

Hmph, an old hag of 21.

After expressing her disdain toward the other party, An Siyao turned her gaze to Xu Youxiang’s home address.

If she went there while “he” was in that woman’s body, she could probably meet “him,” right?

Although that body wasn’t “his,” the core was him.

But what if he didn’t like her showing up? What if he got angry when she came?

Should she ask him? But what if he got angry if she asked?

The young girl was thrown into great distress.

The same night, Xia Yu was also troubled.

On Saturday, the class monitor was hosting a dinner gathering.

Before the meal started, Xia Yu went out to use the restroom. On his way back, he was intercepted in the hallway by a female classmate.

“I like you. Please go out with me!” the girl said, blushing.

“???”

Xia Yu was just about to refuse when a figure suddenly rushed into his arms.

“Yu!”
