Becoming a Billionaire From Awakening a System

Although Lin Xiaoman was gorgeous, her figure was indeed a bit lacking.

But it wasn’t that she had a bad figure.

She was just a bit flat-chested.

Her long legs, however, were quite something.

At five-foot-eight, she had a height that ninety-nine percent of girls would envy.

When it came to teasing Lin Xiaoman, Lin Feng never showed any mercy.

However, Lin Xiaoman was long used to it. After hearing what he said, she just rolled her eyes at him.

Then she walked over to the mirror by herself, looked herself over carefully, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then she went back to her room to change into another outfit.

"Xiaoman."

"When Mom and Dad get back, I need you to play along with me."

Lin Feng said after shoveling a few mouthfuls of rice from his bowl.

’Play along with you?’

Lin Xiaoman gave Lin Feng a confused look.

"Play along with what?"

"I don’t want Mom and Dad to know I made this much money. You know how it is."

"With Mom’s personality, she’d definitely take all the money and lock it in a fixed-term deposit to save up for my future wedding."

Lin Feng said this with a hint of resignation.

Lin Xiaoman knew exactly what he meant.

It wasn’t that their family was truly struggling.

After all, they owned a shop, and their income was relatively stable.

But Lin Feng’s mother, He Yue, just loved to save money.

No matter what, she was always thinking about saving money.

In her own words.

She was used to a life of poverty, so she had to save for a rainy day.

That way, when Lin Feng and Lin Xiaoman got married in the future,

they wouldn’t have to go asking people for help.

Lin Feng’s father, Lin Jiandong, strongly agreed with He Yue’s point of view.

Lin Feng had tried to persuade his parents many times, but they hadn’t changed one bit.

It was a helpless feeling.

But despite feeling helpless,

as their children, they had to go along with their parents’ wishes.

"Of course I can keep your secret."

"But you have to tell me exactly how much money you made."

Lin Xiaoman didn’t hesitate and agreed immediately.

However, she also proposed a condition.

Lin Feng did some quick mental math.

Excluding the two 90% discount cards,

he currently had a little over four million in cash.

"Four hundred thousand, I guess."

"It’s not that much."

Lin Feng stated a number.

But it stunned Lin Xiaoman.

"Four hundred thousand?"

Lin Xiaoman was frozen to the spot.

"How did you make so much money?"

Lin Xiaoman was still deeply skeptical.

"You’re not joking with me, are you?"

"The semester just started. How could you have earned so much?"

Of course, it was impossible.

According to the normal laws of the market,

it was impossible for Lin Feng to make four hundred thousand in a month with his lack of capital.

Even with a guaranteed absolute rate of return, it was still utterly impossible.

But did that matter?

"What kind of a stupid question is that?"

"I just bought you hundreds of thousands worth of gifts, and now you’re asking me this?"

Lin Feng didn’t explain.

He didn’t even plan on telling Lin Xiaoman the truth.

After all...

"Bro, since you’ve made so much money..."

Lin Xiaoman suddenly sidled up and clung to Lin Feng’s arm.

"There’s this other necklace I like, and you..."

"How much?"

"It’s not expensive. The little swan from Swarovski."

Lin Xiaoman said with a smile.

Lin Feng knew of it.

Swarovski itself isn’t positioned as a high-end brand.

And the little swan design was one of Swarovski’s signature products.

The price was only around a thousand yuan.

For Lin Feng, that was naturally nothing.

"Done."

There was nothing to hesitate about.

Lin Feng agreed right away.

"Ahem, um..."

"I forgot to mention, the version I want has a one-carat diamond chip on it. The price is around ten thousand..."

Lin Feng, who had been carrying his plate toward the kitchen, suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What did you just say?"

"I don’t think I heard you clearly."

Lin Feng turned his head to look at Lin Xiaoman, pretending he hadn’t heard.

"I know it’s a bit expensive..."

"So, I’ll cover all the meals for the next few days, and I’ll do the dishes, too."

As she spoke, Lin Xiaoman snatched the plate right out of Lin Feng’s hands.

"How about it?"

Lin Feng still didn’t answer.

"Oh, come on, my dearest brother, you’ve made so much money, just buy it for me, please?"

"Pretty, pretty please?"

As she spoke, she hugged Lin Feng’s arm and started shaking it desperately.

Faced with a nine-out-of-ten beauty like Lin Xiaoman acting cute and spoiled,

very few men would be able to resist.

But who was Lin Feng?

Was there any side of her he hadn’t seen before?

Otherwise, his deepest impression of her wouldn’t be of the girl picking her feet.

Still, Lin Feng felt a little fortunate at that moment.

It was a good thing he had only said four hundred thousand earlier.

Otherwise, that little swan necklace with the diamond chip would probably have more than just a chip.

"We’ll see how you behave."

"If I’m satisfied, then we’ll talk."

Lin Feng didn’t agree outright, instead taking a more roundabout approach.

This wasn’t the first time Lin Xiaoman had gotten what she wanted only to go back on her word.

So Lin Feng had to ’inspect the goods before payment’.

It was the intuition of an experienced older brother.

"Okay-dokey."

Hearing Lin Feng’s response, a satisfied smile immediately appeared on Lin Xiaoman’s face.

’A necklace worth over ten thousand yuan!’

Originally, Lin Xiaoman had planned to work part-time on weekends.

She was going to buy it after she’d saved up enough money.

But when she thought about it, working part-time two days a week...

even if she made two hundred a day, that was only four hundred for two days.

To save up ten thousand, it would take a whole year.

And that was including working through the winter and summer breaks.

’Too exhausting.’

Luckily, Lin Feng had suddenly appeared.

And he’d made over four hundred thousand in one go.

’Her brother was rich; how could his little sister be allowed to suffer?’

And so, Lin Xiaoman, who could never stand the sight of Lin Feng, had transformed into a dutiful and good little sister.

Lin Feng sat on the sofa, watching Lin Xiaoman bustle about.

Washing dishes, mopping the floor.

Just as Lin Xiaoman finally finished all the chores,

and had returned to her room, Lin Feng’s voice rang out again.

"Xiaoman, I’m thirsty!"

Lin Feng’s voice wasn’t very loud,

but it was loud enough for Lin Xiaoman to hear from her room.

However, hearing this, the exhausted Lin Xiaoman pretended she hadn’t heard a thing.

"Oh dear, what happened to my bank balance?"

"Looks like I can’t buy that necklace after all."

Lin Feng’s voice rang out again.

But as soon as he said that,

Lin Feng heard the sound of someone scrambling out of bed in Lin Xiaoman’s room.

A few seconds later,

Lin Xiaoman came out of her room and headed for the kitchen.

A moment later, she came back out carrying a cup of tea.

She placed it in front of Lin Feng.

"Here, Bro. Have some water."

Although Lin Xiaoman had a smile on her face,

it was clearly a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

"How about you go downstairs and buy some snacks?"

Lin Feng said with a sly grin.

"Now, that’s not something I agreed to."

Hearing Lin Feng’s increasingly outrageous demands,

Lin Xiaoman’s eyes widened in a glare.

’They were on the sixth floor; she’d have to go all the way down and then climb all the way back up.’

’Only an idiot would do that.’

"Don’t worry, I’ll make it worth your while."

"Two hundred yuan. Whatever’s left is yours."

Lin Feng didn’t beat around the bush.

He pulled two red 100-yuan bills from his wallet,

and slapped them on the table.

Although Lin Xiaoman really wanted to refuse,

it was obvious that to her, two hundred yuan was a fortune.

Lin Xiaoman still went downstairs.

Clutching the two-hundred-yuan fortune Lin Feng had given her.

A few minutes after Lin Xiaoman went downstairs, a message came in from Su Ruoxi.

However, Su Ruoxi’s message made Lin Feng’s brows furrow tightly.

"Brother Feng, I don’t want to stay at home anymore."

"My dad is busy with social engagements and is never home."

"That woman, Liu Yan, actually invited some other guy over for dinner this afternoon and insisted on introducing me to him."

"I’ve been hiding in my room for hours."

"I really can’t take it anymore. I’m coming to find you."
