Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Me! Gu.Millionaire.Fan

Seeing his own reflection on the phone screen, Gu Jiaguo’s face darkened. He looked up at Gu Yifan and said ominously, "You little brat, you got a problem with me?"

"???"

Gu Yifan stared at his dad in confusion, puzzled. "No, Dad. What do you mean?"

"Then why did you want me to look at myself?"

Gu Jiaguo said coldly, his expression unfriendly.

Just then, Chen Dongmei, who was standing nearby, leaned in curiously. She glanced at the phone screen and was completely bewildered too.

"Hey!"

"There’s nothing here!"

"You little brat, are you messing with us?!"

She glared at her son and said irritably.

"Huh?"

Now Gu Yifan was even more baffled. "That’s impossible!" he said, reaching out and taking the phone from his father to have a look.

The phone was on the lock screen, completely dark. All he could see was his own handsome face!

"Er..."

Gu Yifan said awkwardly, "Uh... sorry about that, the phone locked itself! Hehehe..."

Gu Jiaguo: "..."

Chen Dongmei: "..."

Gu Yifan unlocked the phone again and handed it over once more.

"Yihe Technology Co., Ltd.?"

Looking at the company’s business license on the phone screen, Chen Dongmei read the name out loud instinctively.

Gu Jiaguo, however, noticed the name of the legal representative on the license, and that the company address was in Jinling.

He frowned. "This is your company?"

"Yep!"

Gu Yifan nodded.

Hearing the exchange between father and son, Chen Dongmei was bewildered.

She took another careful look at the business license on the phone, and only then did she notice that the legal representative’s name was indeed her son’s!

"When did you register a company? Where did you get the money?"

Gu Jiaguo asked, his brow tightly furrowed.

"I had an agency in Jinling register the company for me a few days ago. As for the money, it doesn’t cost much to register a company!"

Gu Yifan explained.

As the Deputy Director of the Mountain City Investment and Construction Bureau, Gu Jiaguo naturally knew that.

What he meant was, where would the operating capital for the company come from?

His face darkened and he said irritably, "I know better than you that it doesn’t cost much to register a company. I’m asking where you got the money to *run* it!"

"Oh, oh, I earned the money from playing the stock market!"

Gu Yifan picked up an apple from the table, took a bite, and explained nonchalantly.

Fearing his father wouldn’t believe him, he took the phone again, opened his bank account app, and handed it over.

As soon as Gu Jiaguo took the phone, Chen Dongmei leaned in closer again!

When they saw the balance displayed in the mobile banking app, the couple’s eyes widened instantly!

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."

GASP...

After instinctively counting the digits, Chen Dongmei snapped her head up and stared at her son in shock. "S-seven... seven digits???"

Gu Jiaguo was much calmer than his wife, Chen Dongmei. He looked at Gu Yifan with a serious expression and was about to speak when he heard his son say, "That’s right! It’s over a million. But don’t worry, I earned all of it from stocks. It’s all clean money."

"As for where I got the money to invest, well... my initial capital was all the lucky money you gave me for the holidays over the years, plus the allowance I saved up. It wasn’t much, only about a hundred thousand or so. [Author’s Note: He was making this up. He’d spent all his money simping for Han Ning, but his parents didn’t know that!]"

"As for why and when I started trading stocks... well, I only started after I turned eighteen, but I’d been researching it on my own as a hobby for a while, so it wasn’t completely out of the blue."

"And then, I guess I got pretty lucky recently. The stocks I bought increased in value about tenfold, and that’s how I ended up with this much money."

Gu Yifan paused here. He looked at his parents, whose expressions were frozen in shock, and calmly asked, "Well... I think I’ve explained everything that needs explaining. So... Mom, Dad, do you have any other questions?"

"..."

The couple, Gu Jiaguo and his wife, fell silent once again.

In just a few short minutes, they had been shocked by their son again and again!

Truly and utterly shocked!

From having above-average grades to becoming the top scorer on the college entrance exam, then rejecting an offer from Qingbei, and now suddenly revealing a seven-figure bank account balance!

The main point was!

A high school student who just finished his college entrance exams had made over a million from the stock market...

It was like something out of a fantasy novel!

If they told anyone, people would probably think they’d gone insane!

And yet, all of it was laid out so clearly before them. How could they not be shocked?

For a moment, the couple even began to wonder, ’Is this person in front of us really our son?’

’But that’s just a fleeting thought. They knew their son; he wasn’t the type to act recklessly.’

It was just that he had accomplished all these incredible things without a single word to them!

’Who knows how many other things he’s hiding from us!’

Gu Yifan knew his parents couldn’t quite accept all this at once. They needed time to process and cool down.

So he wasn’t in a hurry, just quietly munching on the apple in his hand.

「...」

After a long silence, Gu Jiaguo and Chen Dongmei looked at each other and let out a deep breath in unison.

"Phew..."

"You little brat, are you trying to scare your father and me to death?!"

"First you’re the top scorer, now you have over a million! My poor heart is still pounding like crazy!"

"Son, it’s not that Mom doesn’t believe you, but you have to be straight with me. Honestly, how many other things are you hiding from us?"

"Don’t just spring another surprise on us out of nowhere. Your mom’s heart can’t take it!"

Chen Dongmei said to her son, exasperated.

"Er..."

Gu Yifan sounded both awkward and helpless. "There’s nothing else, that’s it. Don’t you and Dad know me?"

"I thought we did, but now it’s like we don’t know you at all!"

"Over a million!"

"In such a short time, you brat have earned more money than your father and I have struggled to make in most of our lives!"

Chen Dongmei snapped, her eyes wide.

"It’s only a little over a million. Is that a lot?"

Gu Yifan muttered under his breath.

"Hm?"

Chen Dongmei raised an eyebrow. "What did you just say, young man?!"

"AHEM, AHEM~"

"N-nothing! I didn’t say anything!"

Gu Yifan faked a couple of coughs and lied without batting an eye.

At the same time, he was inwardly relieved. ’Good thing I didn’t mention the car, otherwise I’d have no idea how to explain it!’

’Oh well!’

’Now that I have the company as a cover, I can just tell them about it later when the opportunity arises!’

"You little brat, be honest. How many more things are you hiding from us?"

Chen Dongmei couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Gu Yifan: "...-_-||"
