The Farming Livestreamer: I Don't Want to Inherit Billions!-Chapter 163: Truth or Story

"Dad, if you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll go back tomorrow and shave all Zongzong’s fur!"

Chi Youyou threatened angrily.

Chi Zaozao, who was about to pick something up, paused. Is this a threat?

Yet the person on the phone believed it!

"No... Youbao, let’s talk this over. I’ve put a lot of effort into keeping Zongzong’s fur that nice, you can’t cut it!"

"Then tell me, what’s really going on here!"

The line went silent again. Chi Youyou wished she could fly back to Phoenix Mountain right now.

After a while, a sigh came through the receiver.

"Youbao, at this point, Dad has to confess to you!"

Chi Youyou: "!!!"

She perked up immediately. Get on with it!

"In fact... A long, long time ago, Dad entered a Peach Blossom Spring and met an Old Immortal who taught me all sorts of planting and breeding skills, I..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Chi Youyou was a bit excited at first, but the more she listened, the more off it seemed, so she repeatedly told him to stop, "Dad, this isn’t storytime before bed! And! I’m 18 this year, not 8, no wait, even when I was 8, I wouldn’t believe such a ridiculous story, alright!"

She rolled her eyes, feeling like her excitement was wasted!

"Alright, alright, I won’t joke with you. Your mom is already falling asleep."

Chi’s father’s voice sounded again through the receiver.

He sighed once more.

"Youbao, actually, your mom and I never told you for your own good. We didn’t want you to be blinded by money. Look how happy you’ve been these past 18 years, right?"

Chi Youyou nodded, feeling this explanation sounded more reasonable, plus she caught the key point, money!

So, does this mean their family is actually really rich?

"Ah, it seems we can’t hide it from you anymore, Dad will tell you the truth! Actually, your mom is the daughter of a wealthy family, and you are the heiress to a billion-dollar fortune. As for your dad, I’m not as impressive as your mom, just a farmer..."

"So, the rich heiress fell for you, a poor farmer, and Mom severed ties with her family for love and eloped with you to Phoenix Mountain, where she gave birth to such a beautiful daughter and a rather cocky son?"

Chi Zaozao: "..."

Could you not include me?

"You figured it out!"

Chi’s father got halfway through before Chi Youyou interrupted to finish the story.

"I say, Dad, did you peek at the romance novels I keep under my bed? Doesn’t this sound just like the plot of ’My Wife is a Wealthy Heiress’!"

Honestly, Chi Youyou almost believed it at the start!

The mention of a billion-dollar inheritance made her heart skip a beat.

But the more she listened, the more familiar the storyline sounded!

As if she’d believe it!

Chi’s father: ...

"Dad, I’m giving you one last chance!"

"Hello? What are you saying? The signal suddenly got bad?"

"Dad! Stop pretending..."

"Beep beep beep—"

Before Chi Youyou could lose her temper, the call was disconnected...

When she called back, it was already powered off...

Hmph!

Dad must be hiding something from her, no way, she has to go ask in person!

Phoenix Mountain.

Mrs. Chi pouted, looking displeased.

"Alright, baby, you see, Youbao doesn’t believe what I said, so don’t be mad!"

"I’m not mad!"

"Okay, okay, you’re not mad, you’re not mad. Sigh, these days, nobody believes me even when I tell the truth!"

Chi’s father shook his head helplessly.

He really wanted to tell Chi Youyou everything, but his wife didn’t want him to.

"Honey... Maybe we should let Youbao and the others come back, I’m afraid..."

"Don’t worry, I’m here for you."

Chi’s father held Mrs. Chi tightly and said earnestly, "Youbao and Zaozao will have to face it someday. We can’t protect them forever. What we can do now is to help them grow up quickly, don’t you agree?"

Huh?

Chi’s father waited for a response, only to realize the person in his arms had already fallen asleep.

Sigh...

He smiled helplessly, tucked the quilt around his wife, and turned off the light.

In fact, when he left the city for Phoenix Mountain, he knew he couldn’t hide forever, nor did he intend to!

He would become stronger until he could protect his loved ones!

Chi Youyou tossed and turned in bed, her father’s words swirling in her mind.

Is it true or false?

She shook her head; it still sounded a bit fake!

But if he wasn’t planning to say, she would investigate herself and get to the bottom of it!

"Ding!"

Her phone chimed; it was the roommate group.

[Zhao Qingran: Youbao, I’ve decided to give up real estate and farm with you!]

Chi Youyou: ...

Here we go again, she’d already sighed about this after the livestream, and now it’s happening again at night.

Wow, it turns out being too rich can be a hassle.

[Shen Xiaomi: Just go to sleep!]

[Lin Xing: Agreed with Xiaomi.]

[Zhao Qingran: No, a 3 million ginseng! My gosh! No wait, 6 million!]

[Chi Youyou: (O_o)??]

[Zhao Qingran: Just saw a news article. Today at an Imperial City auction, a ginseng sold for 6 million!]

After that, a link followed.

Chi Youyou clicked it, and after reading it, she was completely shocked.

No wonder Elder Rong said if she wasn’t satisfied with the price, she could go higher!

Turns out this auction price reached 6 million!

However, auction prices are different from retail, as they can keep rising, usually higher than market value.

But it also depends on whether it’s available to buy on the market.

Chi Youyou searched and found that ginseng is rare, and you usually can’t buy it in pharmacies. It’s generally secured through auctions or by spending a lot to have someone search in remote mountains and forests.

[Zhao Qingran: Youbao, do you need a little assistant? I can help you with the livestream!]

[Lin Xing: I can too!]

[Shen Xiaomi: I can too!]

Chi Youyou looked at their texts, chuckled, and suddenly thought of Song Shiyu’s face.

She thought for a bit, planning to tease them.

[Chi Youyou: Sorry, the assistant position is filled. Though you ladies are great, a super handsome guy is even better!]

Handsome guy???

Seeing this on the screen, the three of them were stunned!

With such an explosive piece of news, how could they sleep?

There’s no way they could wait until tomorrow?

The urge to rush over to Chi Youyou’s place overwhelmed them!

(｀へ´)

After teasing her roommates, Chi Youyou went to bed, filled with joy, and quickly drifted into dreams.

However, for some people, tonight was a sleepless night.

Fang Yifei looked at the New Exploration ranking, her name in second place, feeling very unwilling.

She didn’t expect the other side to use such a gimmick to attract more traffic than her.

After a while, she took a deep breath, steeled herself, and opened her bank app, directly transferring five million.

"Sister Yaya, no matter what it takes, I must have first place in the newcomer ranking!"
