This Girl Wins Three Hundred Million Dollars

Chapter 4

Yu Shu took a bottle of beer from the refrigerator in her room to cool down her overheated brain.

Spending 700,000 yuan in one day, if she kept squandering money like this, the 240 million yuan would be gone in no time.

This windfall could change her destiny, but blessing and disaster depend on each other. If she couldn't keep this money safe, it would be a disaster for her.

It was natural to enjoy life when you have money, but she couldn't spend it so unrestrainedly.

Yu Shu transferred 2 million yuan to a rarely used card and set a rule that she would go home after the money on this card ran out.

After making the decision, Yu Shu heaved a sigh of relief. Her stomach growled loudly from hunger, so she picked up the phone to order food.

There was a hotel menu next to the phone in the living room. The more Yu Shu looked at it, the hungrier she felt and wanted to try everything.

She would be staying here for a month and could taste them one by one!

Eating dinner by the floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of the vibrant night scene of the commercial district, she could even see the Forbidden City during the day, it was said.

Taking a sip of red wine, she shouted from the bottom of her heart: Money is so great!

If she hadn't won the lottery, what would she be doing now? She would most likely be working overtime bitterly.

Yu Shu chuckled. She suddenly wanted to see Supervisor Chen's expression.

Yu Shu took a photo of her dinner in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and posted it on her work WeChat Moments, then logged out of this WeChat account.

She was extremely glad now that she had a separate WeChat account, where she only added work-related people, while her personal WeChat had no colleagues. So she could break contact with them cleanly.

What Yu Shu worried most was the surveillance video of her buying lottery tickets being recognized by her colleagues who then exposed her identity to the media. But it seemed she was overthinking. She and her colleagues only had superficial relationships, not even plastic friendships. No one paid attention to what she wore every day, where she lived, what time she got off work. The coat she wore when buying lottery tickets was also a very common style. No one would associate her with the 320 million yuan lucky winner.

Yu Shu discontinued the work phone number and threw away the broken SIM card into the trash can. At that moment, she completely bid farewell to the annoying job.

After dinner, Yu Shu made full use of the large bathtub in the room to soak in hot water, feeling warm all over.

Lying in the warm and comfortable bed, Yu Shu sighed comfortably. She felt again before falling asleep that having money was so wonderful.

Not long after Yu Shu fell asleep, she had a dream that her lottery winning was just an illusion she dreamed up. Waking up from the dream, she opened her eyes to see it was already time to go to work. She rushed to the company in a panic. Supervisor Chen's face was black as the bottom of a pot. He scolded her fiercely from head to toe. Her colleagues covered their mouths and laughed, gathered to mock her shabby outfit...

The work lunch was expensive and unappetizing. Halfway through the meal, she received a call from Dad saying Mom was sick and hospitalized, asking her to send some money home. Yu Shu put down her chopsticks and hurriedly opened the loan app, but her application was rejected. Every time she applied, it got rejected. Yu Shu got so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat...

Yu Shu woke up from the dream with a gasp, drenched in cold sweat. She picked up her phone to check the time, it was 1 am. She held her breath, opened the banking app again to check her balance. The money was there. After confirming again that she no longer owed anything, she finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

Everything in the dream was so real, yet it was just a dream.

Everything in reality was so incredible, yet it was true.

What was real and what was fake?

Her life changed sharply from realism literature to fantasy fiction, and now it became philosophical realism. *sighs* her brain hurt.

Since the room had heating and the air conditioner kept the humidity at a comfortable level, Yu Shu took a shower after waking up in the middle of the night. Wearing the hotel bathrobe, she sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a can of cold beer in hand and watched the night view to calm herself down.

The commercial district was still bustling at midnight. There was a constant flow of people coming and going, with several luxury cars racing against each other in the traffic.

Yu Shu planned to sign up for a driving school and get her license after the New Year. She would buy a 100,000+ yuan car to practice first. She could afford expensive cars but would feel distressed if they got scratched. Then she had to buy an apartment and live in Chengdu, the provincial capital of her hometown in the future, as she was not qualified to buy a house. She also needed to buy a place for Mom and Dad in the county seat... No, they might not want to live with her. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and staying together for too long could reveal her secret.

She would boil Mom like a frog in warm water, using money to corrode her excellent virtues of enduring hardship and wear her down into a delicate flower to be pampered.

And for Dad’s legs, now that she had money, she could look into treatments at various hospitals. She had read similar medical records online before. As long as he received proper treatment, he could walk without a crutch in the future.

As for her brother Yu Yang, who was now in high school with mediocre grades, she shouldn’t spoil him even though she was rich now. If he didn't get admitted to a good university in the college entrance exam, she would just send him abroad... No, overseas places were too chaotic, what if he learned bad things? It would be better to send him to retake the exam at a reliable university, hmm, she would have to ask for his opinion then...

Whenever she thought of her family, Yu Shu felt happy. Her suspended heart finally settled down.

Sitting by the window until dawn, watching this magnificent city go from lively to tranquil, then quickly reviving itself shortly after the brief slumber, with vehicles and people coming and going in an endless stream.

Yu Shu ordered breakfast and enjoyed the meal while appreciating the beautiful sunrise.

Money is so wonderful.

After breakfast, Yu Shu finally settled down to sleep until dark.

When she woke up starving, she marveled a little at this wonderful life of eating, sleeping and repeat. After washing up and changing clothes, she went downstairs for dinner.

The buffet of this hotel was quite famous, known as the "Beijing Sky Ceiling". It would be a pity not to try it since she was already here.

The dinner buffet cost 888 yuan per person, but Yu Shu could eat for free with her room card.

The buffet even offered Boston Lobster, she only took a bite but was instantly captivated by how delicious it was!

Like an old-fashioned country bumpkin seeing the world for the first time, everything seemed fresh and tasty to her. She accidentally overate and let out an unladylike burp while rubbing her stomach.

There was mocking laughter from the adjacent table where two girls who had been taking pictures and checking in saw her with contempt in their eyes.

“How can someone like her come here to dine?”

"Right, it totally lowered the hotel's standard."

"What is that outfit, so tacky!"

"Far from elegant!"

Yu Shu glanced at her own high-end wool sweater, not something two wannabe celebrities could mock! As a tycoon, she wouldn’t be criticized by these two posers!

Their tone was full of pretentiousness. Yu Shu laughed back unabashedly, "I just came downstairs for dinner, unlike two ladies here who are 'all dressed up'."

Having said that, she casually wiped her mouth, took out her phone to check the time, and flashed her room card before walking away dramatically.

Ah, acting arrogant to slap them in the face was awesome!

Having slept all day, she definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight. So Yu Shu grabbed her coat from the room and went out after some light makeup. After a long time in the room, she finally set off. In the hotel lobby, she encountered the two girls from the buffet restaurant.

The two girls were taking photos in front of the decorative wall in the lobby, tirelessly posing in various ways.

At the moment their eyes met, the girls successfully turned black-faced, while Yu Shu looked at them with innocent big eyes – she didn’t do anything.

Unable to keep up the front, she chuckled and walked towards the door confidently.

There was no car waiting when she exited the hotel.

“Looks like someone acts rich but doesn’t have a car.”

“Just like us, blowing in the northwest wind.”

“I thought she would be so distinguished!”

“But that’s all!”

The two sang alternate lines mockingly. Yu Shu couldn't be bothered to fight with them and continued searching on her phone for places to go.

The two chattering women kept making sarcastic remarks. Yu Shu was about to lose her temper when her Mercedes sedan finally arrived.

The driver courteously got out of the car to open the door for her, "Ms. Yu, sorry about the traffic jam. I'm late."

"It's fine." Before getting into the car, Yu Shu glanced at the two women. "I'm nothing like you two."
