The Real Heiress Has an Appraisal System

It was even peaceful. Grandma could live here, plant a garden in the courtyard, and enjoy a simple, pastoral life.

Gu Shengsheng tallied up her finances. Just a moment ago, she’d felt like a rich woman, but now she felt like she barely had any money at all.

By her calculations, selling the newly restored artifacts would net her about seventy million.

Adding that to her previous savings, earning a hundred million would mean paying 25 million in taxes. The proceeds from several artifacts would barely be enough to cover the tax bill.

After taxes, her total assets would be around 160 million, still short of the 200 million mark.

While Gu Shengsheng was still hesitating, Mrs. Lu Sr. called her. "Shengsheng, buy it! If you don’t have enough money, Grandma will lend you some!"

"Listen to me. You need a house like this. It will absolutely be a good thing for you."

Gu Shengsheng said nothing, carefully weighing the pros and cons.

Mrs. Lu Sr. continued, "If you live there, it’ll be much more convenient to sell artifacts in the future. Your neighbors could become your buyers, or even your business partners. Your connections are good now, but you need a bigger and better platform."

"You are our family’s Young Madam. When Grandma gives you money, it’s an investment. Shengsheng, think it over carefully."

Grandma seemed even more excited about this than Gu Shengsheng was.

Mrs. Lu Sr. spoke with complete sincerity. The usually flighty grandma was now speaking with a completely straight face.

Gu Shengsheng said, "Alright, I’ll buy it."

The moment she said it, she noticed money being transferred into her bank account.

Mrs. Lu Sr. had even written out a check for fifty million and sent her a photo of it. "This is money Shi Jing’s grandfather and I earned back in the day. I saved it up for investments. It has nothing to do with the Lu Group, so use it without worry."

Gu Shengsheng said, "Okay. Thank you, Grandma."

She wasn’t one to be coy. With the 50 million Grandma lent her, she still had ten million left as investment capital.

She wasn’t poor. In fact, it was more than enough.

’Since I’m going to buy it, I have to buy it, and I’ll leverage its value to the absolute limit!’

Gu Shengsheng knew this was a steal. They were selling it to her for just 200 million. If it had gone through the usual channels, she might not have been able to acquire it even for eight or nine hundred million.

When she agreed, Zhao Dehai’s assistant looked at her with admiration. "Miss Gu is truly one of a kind. Your methods and decisiveness are beyond what an ordinary person is capable of."

’Actually, I was hesitant too,’ she thought. ’It’s just that I have a grandma who backs me up completely.’

She thought, ’Whenever I divorce my husband, I have to take Mrs. Lu Sr. and Linnin with me.’

’No, wait... my husband’s dead, so I don’t need a divorce. If he were alive, I’d definitely have to divorce him. It’s better that he’s dead. No burden, nothing to worry about.’

At that very moment, Lu Shijing sneezed! And then he sneezed again!

Just as he was wondering who was thinking about him, Lin Kai called.

"Boss! Boss! Miss Gu bought the courtyard house at the Jade River Ruins!"

"You live there! Wow! It’s the one right next door to you, the one that just moved out. You’ll be running into each other all the time now. I bet Mrs. Lu Sr. will move in too. What are you going to do? Your cover is about to be blown!"

Lu Shijing wasn’t worried. He spun his pen with a calm, unhurried air.

He said, "It’s almost time. The Lu Group will go bankrupt in two weeks."

"After being ’missing’ for so long, I should at least bring a gift when I see my family."

Lin Kai got excited. Wasn’t this just like one of those CEO novels? ’The weather is getting chilly. It’s time for the corporation that bullied my wife to go bankrupt!’

Except, his boss was a little different. He was bankrupting his *own* family’s company. He was probably the first CEO in history, domestic or foreign, to do that. And it had nothing to do with the Young Madam.

Lin Kai suddenly lost all interest. "Boss, if you have nothing else to say, I’m hanging up!"

Life was annoying enough as it was, and the ’ship’ he was following hadn’t had any on-screen moments together in ages.

The boss didn’t even have a doctor friend, and Miss Gu never got sick. There was no opportunity to call a doctor friend in the middle of the night to check on her! He wouldn’t get to hear the doctor say, "How could you wear her out like this again?!"

’He’d already memorized the lines; all that was missing were the actors.’

Lin Kai felt it was boring. So, so boring.

Then, Lu Shijing paused and said, "Check and see how much money Miss Gu is short. She probably didn’t have enough."

"She’s probably short about sixty million. Find a way to get it to her from my funds. Make up a reason, and don’t tell her it’s from me."

Lin Kai sighed. "Mrs. Lu Sr. already did it. Your attempt to curry favor arrived cold."

"I know a master interior designer who just returned from abroad. Find a way for Mrs. Lu Sr. to get in touch with them. I’ll provide the money from my end. I’ll cover the renovation costs, too. Don’t let her know."

He knew Gu Shengsheng had a lot of ideas of her own.

That designer might be the one who can bring her vision to life.

Lin Kai was instantly hooked again. This secret, behind-the-scenes help, without telling Miss Gu... Now *this* was the good stuff!

"Yes, yes, yes! Boss, I’ll get on it right away!"

——

Because Gu Shengsheng had discovered the ancient tomb of a Chu Country nobleman on a piece of land she just bought.

And then, she’d also managed to snag the courtyard house at the Jade River Ruins for a bargain.

This news was just too explosive.

The internet was going crazy! Who wouldn’t want to be Gu Shengsheng!

#Hundred-Millionaire#

...

One trending topic after another was all about Gu Shengsheng.

Her long-time ’treasure-hunting’ fans felt a sense of shared glory, and many new fans joined the ranks!

Gu Shengsheng felt it too—her System’s Emotion Value, which had been dormant for a long time.

It was skyrocketing!

Because her previous appraisals at the He Family home and in other places couldn’t be livestreamed, and there were too few onlookers, her Emotion Value had been increasing at a snail’s pace ever since she bought the used car.

[System]

Emotion Value Collected: 95,000...

Emotion Value Collected: 99,990...

’Wait,’ Gu Shengsheng thought, ’it’s not going to get stuck here, is it?’

Emotion Value Collected: 100,000. Ancient Tomes Panel Attribute x1

’Wait, Ancient Tomes?’

Gu Shengsheng’s excitement instantly fizzled out.

’Back when I hit 40,000, I already got the Books Panel Attribute! I’ve barely even used it.’

’Now I get an "Ancient Tomes" one?’

’Gu Shengsheng had been so looking forward to reaching 100,000 Emotion Value, but she hadn’t expected to get a repeat reward.’

[System]: BEEP! This System’s ’Books’ and ’Ancient Tomes’ are not the same. The host will understand upon actual use.

[System]: Question this again, and the System will retract the reward.

Gu Shengsheng: "...It’s great. I love it."

’No way, I have to go check out the ’Books’ panel one of these days. Just what’s so special about it...’

Leveling up was getting harder and harder now. Fortunately, after surpassing one hundred thousand, she would gain a level for every additional 1,000 Emotion Value.

The Emotion Value didn’t count duplicates, and at most, her livestreams had about a hundred thousand viewers online.

So, she’d just have to let the upgrades happen when they happen. It would only get more difficult from here on out.

The System had already given her plenty, and she had her own skills on top of that, so she wasn’t in a rush.

The urgent thing now was to renovate the house. She was short fifty million, and she planned to earn that fifty million within two weeks!

So Gu Shengsheng changed her livestream ID to: "AAA Junk Recovery, Sister Gu - Earning Fifty Million in Two Weeks."
