So I Am A Demon Descendent!

Chapter 14: Where’s My Money?

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Li Xianyu took out the bank card his father left him from the drawer. This bank card was the new card of China Construction Bank, not the kind that had been popular for 20 years. He was distracted by the Black Water Spirit Bead when he inherited the inheritance, otherwise he could have detected a lot of things that were off.

For example, Baoze Group was a company that was established in recent years, and his father’s will was from 20 years ago.

Additionally, this bank card, which contained a deposit from 20 years ago, should have been handed over to him in a passbook rather than a bank card, as the latter did not exist in China then.

It was 8 PM and was time for dinner. He brought Great-Grandma down to eat.

The destination was a nearby Thai restaurant with a good reputation. Li Xianyu had eaten their food several times before and felt that it tasted delicious. They had used up this month’s living expenses, so the 200,000 dollars left behind by his father was very timely.

Li Xianyu’s monthly living expenses were 3000 dollars, and his adoptive father remitted money regularly at the beginning of each month. His daily expenses were limited within 80 dollars, so that he could save 500 or 600 dollars a month... It was impossible to save money, entirely impossible in this life. That part of the money was his rent. At least once a week, if he met elder ladies who were financially independent, sometimes Li Xianyu did not have to pay for the room.

Li Xianyu spent all his living expenses early this month because last week, he spent about two thousand dollars on a very nice girl he met through online dating. He was broke.

His dad’s legacy not only opened the door to the new world for him, but also left an ancestor for him to take care of. Fortunately, his dad had a conscience and left him 200,000 dollars.

In a cab, they arrived at the Thai food restaurant. Li Xianyu said that he had to withdraw some cash, and brought Great-Grandma to the ATM machine next street.

The evening was dark, and as the night wind blew, it was cool and comfortable.

Li Xianyu walked ahead, followed by a girl in shorts that showed off her long legs. The evening wind lifted Great-Grandma’s hair and attracted the gaze of passers-by.

Great-Grandma was very interested in the ATM, staring straight at the people who withdrew money in the safety door, watching the machine spit out cash.

Li Xianyu pulled Great-Grandma into the door, locked it, took out the bank card left by his biological father, and inserted it.

“Can this thing spit out money?” Great-Grandma stared at the screen, and the screen lit up her eyes, as if her eyes were stars.

“You haven’t seen it before?”

She shook her head.

“This thing is full of money,” Li Xianyu said.

Great-Grandma’s eyes lit up, “Stand back. I will break it.”

Li Xianyu was shocked. “Although I really want to do this, we don’t have to do illegal things. You can rob anyone, but no need to rob the public.”

Great-Grandma said, “Little Li, you are quite patriotic.”

Li Xianyu replied, “No, I’m just afraid of being killed by the state. Besides, we have 200,000 dollars. We are not short of money.”

As he spoke, he typed the password and did not withdraw the money directly, but clicked to check the balance. Li Xianyu had never had such a large sum of money.

As Great-Grandma and him stared, the balance on the screen showed 90,800.

Li Xianyu froze and rubbed at his eyes, and the number was still there.

I must have rubbed my eyes wrongly, let me do it again.

It’s still 90,000!

Li Xianyu was in shock.

“I thought I had 200,000 dollars. Where’s my money?” Li Xianyu’s smile gradually grew ferocious. “Where’s my money?!”

Seeing her great-grandson’s face grow ferocious, Great-Grandma put her small hands behind her back, pretending to look around at the scenery.

Li Xianyu took out his mobile phone and dialed Old Master Qin’s number. A few seconds later, the call reached through. “Old Master Qin, the inheritance my father gave me is 200,000, right?”

Old Master Qin replied, “I think so.”

“You think?”

“How am I going to know? I didn’t pay much attention to your dad’s property. What’s wrong?” Old Master Qin asked.

“What’s wrong?” Li Xianyu gritted his teeth and said, “There is only 90,000 in my bank card. Where has the rest of the money gone? Have you taken it?”

Old Master Qin froze. “Are you sure?”

Li Xianyu said, “I’m 100% certain, very sure.”

Old Master Qin wondered, “Was there a mistake when the money was transferred? I’ll call finances, while you check the details.”

Of course, the money left by his father to Li Xianyu could not have been what had been there in the first place. The money stayed in the Buddhist society for more than a decade, and then transferred to Baoze Group with his will. Li Xianyu suspected that it was the people of Baoze Group who had stolen it.

Such a large sum of money was suddenly gone, so Li Xianyu was naturally very anxious. While waiting for Old Master Qin to reply, he called the bank’s self-service number to inquire about the account details.

He selected the self-service voice service, and typed bank card password and ID number.

Then came the truth from the automated voice that caused Li Xianyu to be at a loss.

This card had more than a dozen transfer records today. The smaller amounts were hundreds. The larger amounts were tens of thousands. A total expenditure of 109,200 dollars.

He only got the will the other day, only in time to sync his phone to it, and did not touch the money at all.

Sync a phone?!

Li Xianyu immediately stared at Great-Grandma, who pretended to be looking at the scenery everywhere.

“You spent the money?” Li Xianyu glared.

Great-Grandma panicked and her gaze flickered. “No, no.”

“Bullshit! The bank card is synced to only our phones. Who else can it be?” Li Xianyu remarked angrily.

The phone used by Great-Grandma was an Apple iPhone 6S. The day before yesterday, when he taught Grandma to use her phone, he also helped her sync her phone to the bank card.

When Great-Grandma saw that the cat was out of the bag, and any argument was futile, she changed the subject angrily. “Don’t talk to me like that, you unfilial child.”

“How the hell did you spend over 100,000 dollars?” Li Xianyu raged.

“To top up games...” Great-grandma whispered.

“Huh?” Li Xianyu’s eyes widened, feeling as if hammers fell on him from the sky repeatedly. “Top up... games?”

Great-grandma nodded and counted with her fingers. “All the pay-to-win characters in CrossFire cost about 10,000 dollars. League of Legends’ skins and characters also cost thousands, as well as Dungeon and Fighters’ equipment and the money to buy gold coins, which cost about 40,000 dollars, and I also spent thousands on QQ Speed to buy cars.”

Her dark eyes turned, trying to remember, as she told Li Xianyu one by one.

They were like knives that pierced through Li Xianyu’s heart.

Li Xianyu’s mouth trembled, “100,000 dollars. It’s gone just like that.”

Great-grandma said seriously, “If I don’t use money to top up, how can I become strong? No loss.”

No loss my ass, are you a primary school kid?

“How did you know how to top up?”

“Is it difficult? I looked at the instructions step by step, it was easy.”

Li Xianyu slid down against the glass wall, and fell to the ground despondently, letting out a mournful cry towards the sky. “Ma Huateng, I hate you, I hate you forever...”

You made a lot of money from an old man over a hundred years ago. Do you have no pain in your conscience?

Great-Grandma pursed her mouth and said, “Isn’t it just 100,000 dollars, that’s a small amount of money. When I wasn’t dead, I had 500 silvers a month. I spent a lot of money when I was out.”

Li Xianyu scoffed angrily, “Come on, The Qing dynasty has been gone for more than a hundred years.”

“Hmph, it’s my money in the first place, your father left it for me.”

“Bullshit, I’m his son. Why would he give the inheritance to an old dumpling like you, and not me?”

“Why are you so fierce? I’ll pay you back when I have money. I spent your father’s money and he never dared to say anything. You are not a cute kid at all.”

“Can I get food using cuteness? You money-squanderer, no, spendthrift Great-Grandma.”

“Don’t you talk to me like that, you unfilial child!”

“My ass, you even squandered my father’s money. Get out of here, scram.”

They had a big quarrel.

Great-Grandma could only use the terms “unfilial child”, “vile brat”, and was no match for Li Xianyu’s sharp tongue, as he was a keyboard warrior.

“I’ll give you back the money now.”

Great-Grandma was so frustrated that her face grew red. She punched at the ATM’s screen, and with a bang, she froze.

Great-Grandma’s pretty face quickly fell, the corners of her mouth twitched, but reluctantly did not want to show a painful expression. Her eyes quickly grew wet.

Li Xianyu: “Pff...”

Great-Grandma held back her tears, and said, “You said I can spend all the money I want. I don’t want you as a great-grandson anymore. I’m going back to the bead.”

She probably felt that even the machine bullied her, and she tried to suppress her sadness. But she finally whimpered, pushed open the safety door, and walked into the lights.

Her figure disappeared into the night.

Li Xianyu withdrew five thousand, and squatted by the side of the road to smoke a cigarette. He scratched his head irritably, and muttered in his heart how can there be such grandparents, throwing tantrums like a spoiled young lady.

Other people have grandfathers with demeanors of experts.

What did she do in her hundred years of living?

Easily spending 100,000 dollars, were my ancestors that rich?

If my ancestors truly showed themselves, they would be really amused and side-eye me with a knowing smile, saying, “Haha grandson, been there done that...”

Legendary Juicer was definitely problematic.

My biological father was right, Great-Grandma is an energy-sapping demon indeed.

Li Xianyu had a deeper understanding of this statement.

Oh well, should I just leave her be?

Li Xianyu, who was smoking, suddenly remembered that when he helped Great-Grandma sync the bank card that day, he said such a sentence. “Now in the technological era, Great-Grandma, we have 200,000 dollars, you can do whatever you want with it.”

At that time, he thought Great-Grandma would buy some snacks at best. He didn’t know she was so good at spending so much money.

Goddamn it!

Li Xianyu threw his cigarette away and chased in the direction of Great-Grandma.
