Chapter 273 - 103: Ms. Uncompromising, Lawn Barbecue

In a single morning, the sales revenue alone had already surpassed seven figures.

Just as she was about to have lunch, she got a video call from Zhong Mufeng. "You opened a clothing store and didn’t even tell me beforehand! I had to hear about it from a colleague!"

Jiang Li giggled. "Well, I just thought you were busy."

Afraid that Zhong Mufeng was actually angry, Jiang Li quickly added, "But I’ve already set aside your clothes for you. It’s just a matter of whether you want to come pick them up, or if I should have them sent over by express courier."

Only then did Zhong Mufeng nod in satisfaction. "Perfect. I have tomorrow off, so I’ll come over tonight. It’ll be a good chance to bond with my goddaughter."

Jiang Li didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "I haven’t even given birth yet. How do you know it’s a girl?"

Zhong Mufeng raised an eyebrow. "I have a feeling. It’s definitely a girl."

The two chatted for a little while longer. Finally, after hearing someone call for Zhong Mufeng, she waved at the screen. "Alright, see you tonight then."

Zhong Mufeng: "Okay, see you tonight."

After hanging up, she turned to Shen Yanzhi. "Qingbao is coming over tonight. Why don’t we have a barbecue!"

Shen Yanzhi shook his head indulgently, mercilessly seeing through her pretense. "I think you want to eat barbecue whether she’s coming over or not."

Jiang Li shot Shen Yanzhi a playful glare. "There’s no need to call me out on it! Why’d you have to do that?"

Shen Yanzhi raised his hands in surrender. "Alright, alright. I won’t say another word."

Jiang Li turned away with a huff. "Seeing as you just made me mad, you can go buy the ingredients for tonight’s barbecue."

Shen Yanzhi chuckled lightly. "Fine, I’ll go right now."

He stood up and looked down at her. "Are you sure you’ll be okay at home by yourself?"

Jiang Li gave him an "OK" sign. Shen Yanzhi nodded and left with a, "I’ll be back as soon as I can," before turning and heading for the elevator.

The moment Shen Yanzhi left, Jiang Li started watching live streams.

Ever since she had Xie Wan help her send virtual gifts last time, she hadn’t watched any streams. It had been a while since she’d spent money like that.

’Okay, spending money is secondary. The real reason is I want to see some abs.’

’There’s nothing I can do about it. Shen Yanzhi is guarding himself from me like I’m a thief these days, all bundled up. I can’t even see his collarbones, let alone his abs.’

’Since Shen Yanzhi isn’t here right now, I’ll just look at someone else’s.’

’The only problem was that Hongdou was too tame; the streamers didn’t show much skin.’

The most risqué it got was someone wearing a rather transparent shirt while doing a provocative dance.

Jiang Li was thoroughly enjoying the show and directly tipped him 100,000.

[System Detected: Host has spent 100,000 yuan on a ’husband.’ 10x cashback triggered. 1,000,000 yuan has been deposited into your bank account. Please check your balance.]

Jiang Li had been about to move on to the next live stream, but her eyes lit up when she heard the system’s notification.

’As expected of a "husband,"’ she thought. ’He really knows what the viewers want to see.’

For the sake of the cashback, Jiang Li relentlessly topped up her account with another 10 million and started sending the most expensive virtual gifts, forcibly blasting the man to the number one trending spot.

As gifts that looked like exploding fireworks bloomed across the screen, the man bowed 90 degrees to his camera. "Thank you, Ms. Bu Jiang Jiu! Is there any talent you’d like to see? I can do anything."

Jiang Li replied: "No need. I just felt like throwing some money around."

As soon as she said that, the bullet comments exploded with people calling her "Mom."

After all, everyone wants to get something for nothing. When faced with someone as outrageously generous as Jiang Li, they couldn’t help but want to call her "Mom."

Jiang Li had only been aiming for the cashback; she hadn’t expected this kind of reaction.

She quickly exited the stream and began searching for her next ’fated person.’

In just half an hour, she had made three streamers famous, earned several billion, and even made it onto Hongdou’s trending list.

Everyone was curious about who this "Ms. Bu Jiang Jiu" was.

Meanwhile, the person in question had tired herself out from sending so many gifts and had fallen asleep on the sofa.

When Shen Yanzhi returned, Jiang Li was still asleep.

He put all the ingredients in the refrigerator, tiptoed over, and draped a nearby blanket over her.

Jiang Li startled awake. She opened her drowsy eyes and met Shen Yanzhi’s deep gaze, and most of her sleepiness vanished in an instant.

She yawned and held out her hands to him. "You’re back?"

Shen Yanzhi took her hands and slowly pulled her up, explaining, "I went to the nearest supermarket, so it was pretty quick."

Even though it was a villa district, there was still a supermarket nearby.

It was quite expensive—almost twice the price of a regular supermarket—but it was still bustling with people every day.

Jiang Li stretched and rolled her neck. "I wasn’t saying anything!"

She glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost eleven. "Go tell the kitchen to prepare lunch. I’m a little bit hungry."
