The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1192: Chapter 448: Here Comes the Stingy Dad (Part 6)_2

”How come I don’t remember you being a student? You’re the first college student in our He Family.”

He Tiantian pretended not to catch the sarcasm in He Zhuo’s words and said proudly, ”Excelling in both character and academics, you get scholarships every year. Oh, right, son, did last year’s scholarship come in? We don’t even have money for groceries at home—”

Before He Tiantian could finish, He Zhuo shouted ”No money” and then directly hung up the phone.

Throwing the phone on the bed, He Zhuo still felt unsatisfied.

Damn it, they’re starting to eye the original owner’s scholarship money again.

Not having ”money for groceries”?

As if he didn’t know, the He Family’s savings exceeded seven figures a few years ago.

Now it can only have increased, not decreased!

Besides, even if he gave the scholarship to the stingy old dad, he wouldn’t use the money for groceries but save it directly.

This person just likes looking at a string of numbers on the passbook.

If it weren’t for the fear that cash might attract thieves, He Shoutian would love to pile all the money in his room.

Just looking at the money, without spending it, could make him happily eat several big buns!

”Dead Old Miser! Grontë! A stingy sugar rooster!”

He Zhuo cursed angrily.

After a round of venting, He Zhuo’s resentment faded significantly, but the money problem still hadn’t been solved.

He’s the male lead! Destined to accomplish great things.

He has projects to make money but lacks the funds!

Borrow?

Ha ha, if his own father won’t lend him money, who else could he turn to?

Besides, the people he’s familiar with are basically all students, having a few thousand bucks would be considered rich.

How hard is it to gather a hundred thousand bucks?

”Ah ah ah, God, since you let me time-travel, at least give me reliable parents. Why give me a stingy dad?!”

He Zhuo buried his face in the bed, pounding the bedboard with his hands.

Luckily, no one else was in the dormitory; otherwise, his roommates would have been really shocked.

”Maybe I could copy a few songs and sell the rights?”

”But, but I don’t study music; I only know the melodies and don’t understand sheet music.”

”...Uh, I could sing the tunes to a professional musician and have them compose the sheet music, but what if it gets leaked?”

”Ugh... this is so annoying! God, you let me time-travel, at least give me a golden finger. Like a Super Brain, or a search engine, at least a portable hard drive!”

He Zhuo was practically pulling his hair out in exasperation.

He had countless excellent cultural works different from this time and space in his mind, but he couldn’t reproduce them exactly. Isn’t it like guarding a treasure mountain and gaining nothing?

Ugh, this is more depressing than having nothing at all.

The most suitable method is to shoot short videos.

With money and fame, he can nurture a professional team.

By then, whether he drafts a novel outline or hums a melody, there’d be reliable professionals to help ”flesh it out”!

But shooting short videos really needs money arghhhhh!

He Zhuo thought hard about it and could only grab his hair and howl into the bed.

”Tiantian, is it okay to reject the male lead like this?”

Student Xiao D thought their little partner’s attitude was too harsh.

Even to maintain the original character, one didn’t have to be so decisive with the male lead.

For instance, the original character, though stingy, had a way with words and could play the pity card.

Even though he harshly treated his two kids, neither resented him too much.

Instead, they accepted his reasoning: ”Dad is cultivating your self-reliance, resilience, and survival skills.”

Even if it was a lie, the original character at least tried to deceive them a little.

And his children were willing to indulge in self-deception a bit.

But He Tiantian was straightforward, not even bothering with a reason, just answered, ”No money!”

This was just too harsh!

”Even if I came up with a reason, the male lead wouldn’t believe it!”

He Tiantian said plainly, ”In his heart, he never regarded ’He Shoutian’ as a real family.”

The original novel made it clear that He Zhuo claimed to take responsibility for the original owner after occupying his body.

Yet he resented ”He Shoutian” for being stingy, not only verbally lashing out but also cursing him in his mind as a Dead Old Miser and sugar rooster.

After He Shoutian got into an accident, He Zhuo was even ”understanding” enough to issue a letter of understanding to the driver, settling the matter smoothly.
