Happy Vesak Day, everyone! ♥️
After returning from Xiang’s house, the first thing Sheng Chenglin did was to open his bankbook and count the assets he had on hand.
Before Sheng Chenglin’s father got into trouble, the Sheng family was a standard middle-class family. Jiang Mi loved his son and was very generous with money. In addition to the fixed 1,500 yuan pocket money every month, Sheng Chenglin would also receive big red envelopes from both his parents on major festivals and holidays.
On weekdays, except for some textbooks, programming that required paid learning, and occasional game recharges, Sheng Chenglin had almost no large expenses.
Most of this pocket money was saved by him, so he had saved nearly 40,000 yuan over the years.
As for his New Year’s money, it was taken from him by his father in the name of helping with investment before the Sheng family’s accident, and now it was naturally impossible to get it back.
Because he still had some savings, Sheng Chenglin had not asked his mother for pocket money these days. Even if Jiang Mi gave him some, Sheng Chenglin would secretly put it back into Jiang Mi’s wallet.
It was just that because he was a part-time tutor, even though his living expenses were reduced, the numbers in the small treasury were still slowly increasing.
If he was given some more time, he would be able to save enough tuition and living expenses for the next four years of college.
Sheng Chenglin looked at the numbers on the bankbook and thought about the conversation he heard when he left Xiang’s house during the day. He couldn’t help but be absent-minded.
He had been tutoring Xiang Wu for a month and a half. During this period, Sheng Chenglin had never seen the owner of this house.
In the huge villa, he saw Xiang Wu sitting alone in the living room to eat more than once. The more empty the villa was, the more lonely she seemed.
Xiang Yancheng was famous, and Sheng Chenglin could often see him in financial news. He even suspected that Xiang Wu, like himself, had seen this father on TV and in the news far more often than in real life.
For the first time, Sheng Chenglin felt distressed for a woman other than his mother.

“Classmate Han, what kind of things do girls your age like?”
On Monday when school started, after two days of hesitation, Sheng Chenglin finally decided to buy a birthday present for Xiang Wu, as a thank you for earning a lot of tuition fees from her these days.
But Sheng Chenglin has few hobbies. The game programming he likes may not be what Xiang Wu is interested in. He can only ask his deskmate about the preferences of girls of this age.
“Me?”
Han Yunsu was a little surprised because her birthday was coming soon.
Was Sheng Chenglin asking her about her preferences now to prepare a birthday present for her?
“I don’t know what other girls like, but from my own perspective and that of my peers, cute dolls, beautiful bouquets, and small jewelry from boutiques are all things we like.”
Han Yunsu knew Sheng Chenglin’s current financial situation, so the things she mentioned were all things that could be bought within one or two hundred yuan.
However, for a girl of this age who is still in school, such gifts are indeed very good.
“Oh.”
Sheng Chenglin thought for a while and made a decision in his heart.
***
“Miss, the Master asked us to take you to Disneyland first. The Master will arrive on time at the agreed time.”
On Ah Wu’s birthday, the driver was waiting outside the villa early.
As agreed before, he would take Xiang Wu to the amusement park first, and Xiang Yancheng would rush over as soon as possible after finishing his work.
“Okay.”
Because they were going to the amusement park, in order to make it more convenient to play later, Ah Wu wore a pair of denim shorts and a T-shirt with Mickey Mouse patterns on her upper body, which looked refreshing and simple.
Although Ah Wu has been acting dull these days, she is actually looking forward to her birthday this time.
After arriving at Disney Town, Ah Wu found a dessert shop and ordered a cup of milk tea. Then she patiently waited for her father to arrive.
She glanced at the time on her watch. It was now 8:30 in the morning, and there was still half an hour before Disney opened.
***
“Chairman, it’s almost time. The driver is waiting downstairs.”
Xiang Yancheng finished processing the last document, and the time was just right. Now he could rush from the company to Disney, just in time for Disney to open.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Rubbing his sore forehead, Xiang Yancheng couldn’t help but smile as he thought about celebrating his daughter’s birthday soon.
He walked toward the private lounge connected to the office, ready to change out of his formal suit for something relatively casual.
“Chairman!”
Just when Xiang Yancheng changed his clothes and was ready to leave, a female secretary from the secretariat suddenly knocked on the door.
