Chapter 35 Ang Downys The Money
Ang had to win! It was already past six when she finally set her books aside and prepared to head
home from the library.
Before leaving through the school gate, Jessica grabbed her and took her to the on–campus dessert
shop to buy the most exquisite piece of cake.
It was called “Fanny’s Special,” and if Fanny was having it, then Jessica had to have it too!
As Ang looked at the small cake in her hand, her clear eyes became slightly red.
After taking a deep breath, she earnestly said, “Jess, you have to give it your all. You must defeat
Fanny in this speechpetition!”
If Jessica triumphed over Fanny, she would be the one going abroad as an exchange student.
She could then pursue her love for her favoritenguage without any regrets and embark on a different
path from her previous life.
When Ang arrived home, she looked around and found that no one else was there.
She casually ced the cake on the table, went into the kitchen, checked what ingredients were
avable, and considered cooking dinner for Donald and the others.
The door clicked open, and she turned around to see her grandmother, Emilia.
“Are you cooking?” Emilia craned her neck to look.
Ang smiled and nodded in response.
Emilia shifted her attention from the vegetables to Ang and asked, “Ang, do you have a
boyfriend?”
“No, I’m still young. I’m not nning to date for now.”
Emelia pursed her lips and frowned. Just because you’re young, doesn’t mean there’s no demand. By
the time you graduate from university, you’ll be in your twenties. If you wait until then to date, you’ll be
an old spinster.

“Men prefer younger girls. Besides, what’s the use of reading so many books? You’re still going to get
married and have children. You might as well find someone to marry early. Look at the Johnston
Family’s daughter downstairs. She’s not as pretty as you, but she found a man who drives a Mercedes.
Every holiday, they bring back loads of stuff. Their family is so proud.
“If you’re not dating anyone, I can help you find a boyfriend.”
Ang continued chopping vegetables while maintaining her focus. Without changing her expression,
she replied, “Grandma, the man the Johnston Family’s daughter is dating is in his forties and already
married. She’s involved in an affair. Our family doesn’t participate in such immoral activities.”
Emilia received a rebuke, and her expression soured. As a result, she lost interest in continuing the

huse, you go abwart and cook. I have something to do and will go out first” She made a face and left.
As long as someone was cooking, she was happy to be idle.
Euath, she didn’t so much. It was her daughter, Hecate, who did the cooking. asionally, when
Hecate came backte from work, she would cook.
Finally, she left, and Ang felt relieved.
But when she finished cooking and brought out the food, she found that the little cake on her table was
Looking at the empty table, she thought for three seconds.
The sound of a key turning, and then the door was pushed open from the outside. Donald and his wife
were back from work, followed by Emelia, who had returned on the way.
Smelling the aroma of the food in the air. Hecate paused and thenughed. “You’re really diligent to
have the meal already prepared. But Ang, next time, wait for your aunt toe back and cook. You
should focus on your studies”
Ang smiled sweetly. “It’s okay. This way, you can taste my cooking?
She had cooked for the Kins Family many times, but she had never prepared a meal for Donald’s
family. who had always been kind to her. Reflecting on it now, she realized she had been quite
oblivious in the past and engaged in numerous foolish actions.
“Great, then today we’ll get a taste of Ang’s cooking. What did you make, Ang? It smells
delicious!” Donald expressed his appreciation, removing his coat and approaching with a smile.
After Ang had listed the two dishes, she noticed her grandmother’s silence in the background.
Trying to sound casual, she asked, “Grandma, did you happen to see the cake on the table when you
came back just now?”
Emilia mustered a slightly uneasy smile. “Oh, that cake. I went to visit the Lime Family. Their grandson
has a sweet tooth. Thinking you didn’t want it and brought it back, I took it to him.”
“Oh okay, I thought I had ced it somewhere else and remembered incorrectly. No big deal. Ang
smiled faintly and appeared unaffected.
Donald and Hecate exchanged nces with Emelia, causing her expression to instantly sour.
What was wrong with that girl?
It was just a cake. If it was gone, someone in the family probably took it. Was it really worth waiting for
others to show up and ask about it in front of everyone?
In the past few years, Ang seemed to have developed a bit of cunning unexpectedly.
To lighten the mood, Hecate quicklyplimented the delicious dishes Ang had prepared.
Emelia stayed silent, but she ate faster than anyone, as if worried about eating slowly and ending up

fewer bites.
“Who would have thought your cooking is so good? Wow, our family is really fortunate.” Donald
chuckled- heartily, a sense of pride washing over him as if his daughter from the Kins Family had just
culinary talent”
Ang lowered her eyes as she smiled lightly at the acknowledgment.
This feeling of recognition was quite pleasant. If it had been her family, they would probably have
scoffed at it. Her older brothers might even have mocked her, thinking what she did was so simple and
not worth boasting about.
Suddenly, Emelia looked up and said, “You must be making good money cooking medicinal cuisine for
others, huh?”
Since it brought in money, it made sense to contribute some living expenses to the family. Perhaps
even buy something to show respect to the elders!
Ang might havecked initiative and not know how to please. It was no wonder she hadn’t been
favored by her own parents and couldn’tpare to the one adopted by the Kins Family.
Knowing her mother’s personality. Hecate quickly interrupted Emelia’s words, “Mom, Ang is still in
college. If she gets a job, that’s good enough. How much money can she really make?”
still young,
Seeing Hecate supporting her, Ang smiled faintly. “Yeah, it’s not much. I’m helping out a friend, and
it’s just a payment of about ten dors per task.”
She mentioned her part–time wage from the milk tea shop. Even a full–time waitress only earned
seven to eight hundred dors a month, and her part–time gig at the milk tea shop brought in nearly
three hundred dors monthly.
She stated this amount, knowing that even if shepleted thirty days of making medicinal meals, it
would only amount to around three hundred dors a month, far from the six thousand mentioned.
She wasn’t naive. Emelia’sments about money had an obvious motive, and everyone understood
it.
Hearing three hundred dors, Emelia’s eyes lit up. “That’s not bad. You’re just a young girl. It’s not
safe to carry so much money on you.”
“Thanks for your concern, Grandma. I’ll be careful with my safety.” Ang smiled expressionlessly.
She didn’t expect that downying the money would still give Emelia some ideas.
After that, Ang set down her utensils and took the empty dishes to the kitchen.
Hecate quickly followed, whispering. “Let me do it. Ang, you can go back to your room, rest, or read
a book.”
Donald also entered. “Don’t take grandma’s words to heart. We, as elders, would never take the money
of a young girl like you. Save it for yourself. Girls should have money on hand.”
