Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 1276 I'm sorry, Mommy, I can't figure out how much money I have.

Da Bao looked at him strangely and said seriously.

"Of course, why would I need to lie to you?"

Arthur said blankly.

"My goodness, so there really are Akhal-Teke horses in the world..."

Da Bao knew, of course, that his two horses were Akhal-Teke horses. He patted Arthur on the shoulder and said.

"The Akhal-Teke horse, also known as the Ferghana horse, comes from Turkmenistan and is a national treasure of Turkmenistan. The Ferghana horse breed was introduced to China as early as the Western Han Dynasty. I have two of them, so what's so strange about that?"

Arthur shook his head and said.

“Oh my god, my friend, do you know that there are only about 600 Akhal-Teke horses left in the world today? Each horse can sell for a million pounds. Just imagine how rare that is.”

Da Bao turned to ask Zuo Mingyue.

Is one million pounds a lot?

Zuo Mingyue is no longer the person who used to earn a salary in China. She has no concept of money now. When Da Bao asked her, she shook her head.

"One million pounds? That's not much, is it? It probably wouldn't even buy one of our horse's legs."

Arthur slapped his head in regret. Had he gotten worms in his head or was he punctured? Talking about money with these two super-rich men was bound to be a blow.

Sofia asked in surprise.

"Aymu, do you really not know how much one million pounds is? May I ask how much money you actually have?"

This really stumped Zuo Mingyue. She rolled her eyes, frowned, pouted, and even started fidgeting with her fingers.

Sophia immediately said upon seeing this.

"I'm sorry, daughter, I was being presumptuous. I shouldn't have asked you such a sensitive question."

Zuo Mingyue seemed oblivious, still counting on her fingers, while Da Bao laughed beside her.

"You've misunderstood. She's calculating how much money I have. It's a very difficult task."

Zuo Mingyue couldn't even use all ten fingers to move her feet properly. If it weren't for her large belly, she would have taken off her shoes and lifted her feet up to check.

After a long while, she finally spoke to Sofia with a worried expression.

"Mommy, I'm sorry, I can't figure it out..."

Sofia was speechless. How could she not calculate how much money that was?

Daisy chimed in from the side.

"Aunt, please don't make things difficult for my cousin. Her family just received a billion US dollars a few days ago, and I guess that billion hasn't even been factored into her calculations yet."

Princess Sofia grinned. A billion US dollars? Compared to that, even at their wealthiest, her family didn't have hundreds of millions.

She was already deeply affected. But that idiot Desley kept talking.

“Compared to Charlotte, apart from those old families that are over a hundred years old, no one is richer than Charlotte. Arthur and I are just poor bastards standing next to him.”

This time, Arthur and Susanna nodded vigorously. In England, only the top three old-fashioned families could rival Da Bao in wealth, and even then, they might not be able to. That's because these three old-fashioned families all run arms groups, and their assets are simply incalculable, not to mention their stocks.

Athena cautiously climbed onto the tiger, hugged Nuannuan, and Nuannuan turned around and said with a smile.

"Auntie, don't be afraid, Little Tiger is very good and obedient."

After saying that, he patted the little tiger's head. The little tiger growled and leaped out of the house. Da Bao smiled, while Zuo Mingyue covered her mouth and laughed. Edward asked from the side.

"Sister, why are you laughing?"

Zuo Mingyue laughed so hard she almost fell over, talking as she laughed.

"Little Tiger told Nuan Nuan not to hit its head, because if it got stupid, it wouldn't be able to calculate the tip."

Edward was stunned when he heard that.

"What? Tigers give tips?"

Daisy patted his cousin's head. Just a few days ago, he had been just as blank and silly as his cousin.

“Dear cousin, don’t doubt it. Do you see the pouch hanging around Tiger’s neck? It’s full of banknotes, which are used for tips. Tiger will decide how much tip you give based on your service.”

"Oh my god, that's amazing."

Edward looked enviously in the direction the tiger had run off to; he wanted to go out and play too.

……

Dinner was prepared by Sofia. She was already struggling financially and couldn't afford a maid, and she didn't want to ask her family for help, fearing they would continue to mock her for marrying a sickly man.

Zuo Mingyue's personality is 60% like Sophia's—bold, adventurous, and loyal—and he also has Zuo Wenbin's intelligence. However, his carefree nature is more like Sophia's, unlike Zuo Wenbin's cautiousness.

Zuo Mingyue stayed with Sophia in the kitchen. When she saw her mother's body slightly hunched over from overwork, she couldn't help but tear up. She hugged Sophia from behind.

Sofia quickly turned her head, hugged her daughter, gently wiped away her tears, and asked softly.

"What's wrong, Aymu? My darling,"

Zuo Mingyue leaned against her mother's chest and murmured.

"Mommy, you're so great! You gave up your princess life for Daddy!"

Sofia stroked her daughter's hair and said with a smile.

Do you know how I met your father?

Zuo Mingyue shook her head.

"That was in 1939. My tutor, Nia, and I were in Shanghai. We had already decided to buy boat tickets to return to France, but we were robbed. Three men beat Nia to death. They not only stole my money, but also wanted to sell me to Southeast Asia."

I prayed desperately to God, hoping someone would come to save me. But when I was at my most desperate, your father appeared. He killed those three men and took back the money that had been stolen from me.

Later we fell in love, deeply in love. Even after you were born, I never told your father that I wasn't afraid of robbery because I could get money from any French consulate. But I didn't tell him and just followed him on his campaigns.

It wasn't until he was wounded and beyond the reach of all of China that I reluctantly left China with her, but in doing so, I lost you, my daughter.

Zuo Mingyue snuggled closer, finding the most comfortable spot in her mother's arms, and the two of them held each other quietly like that...

Suddenly, a burnt smell wafted over, and Sofia screamed.

"Oh my god, my steak, my steak..."

After dinner, Zuo Wenbin was still fast asleep, and Arthur and Desley were all staying at Sophia's house.

Sofia's villa was very large. Although the scenery was picturesque, the town was very remote and rarely visited by outsiders; it only had a few thousand residents.

A group of people sat on the lawn, at a tea table with a few chairs. Sofia brewed coffee, poured coffee for everyone, and then sat down...
