"You must understand the principle that the weak are suppressed by the strong." Qi Yan looked directly at her, his eyes filled with an unusual air of authority.

Xu Youyou bit her lip, her eyes red. How could she not know this? She understood it better than anyone else, but she really didn't want to admit that the first man she fell in love with had failed so miserably.

Qi Yan felt a pang of heartache seeing her choked-up face. He softened his expression and said gently, "Youyou must understand that this is how society defines people. The taller you are, the more the wind will blow against you and people will be envious. Nie Moyuan let others take advantage of the situation, so he can't blame anyone else."

Xu Youyou silently shed tears in his arms. She was a sensible person; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to survive in this society where power reigned supreme.

If Xu Youyou wants to be a superior person, she must forget these personal emotions.

"Um"

I'm sorry, Nie Moyuan...

…

"Why the hell didn't you go to school?" she asked, her voice filled with extreme anger.

Dou Shiliu took a leisurely sip of tea.

"You brat, are you asking for a beating?"

Lin Shu's phone was ringing off the hook with calls from Dou Shiliu's homeroom teacher today, and she learned that Dou Shiliu hadn't been to school for the past few days.

"You're in your final year of junior high now, and you're about to go to high school. How could you skip class? And you haven't been to school for so many days?"

Lin Shu glared angrily at Dou Shiliu, her heart filled with complex emotions. She had never known that her daughter had become so rebellious.

Ultimately, it was because she hadn't cared enough about her daughter that Lin Shu felt more guilty than angry.

"Could you tell your mother why you're not going to school?"

Seeing that Lin Shu's tone had calmed down, Dou Shiliu put down his teacup and met her gaze: "I don't want to go to school."

Since even the cannon fodder doesn't go, she doesn't need to waste her time at school.

"Why?"

Lin Shu looked at her daughter in shock, and said in a calm tone the words that disappointed her.

She worked hard to earn money so that Dou Shiliu could go to school and make something of herself in the future, but she didn't want to study.

"Here you go, a house in the city."

Dou Shiliu calmly found the key He Zicheng had given her and handed it to Lin Shu.

Lin Shu stared blankly for a moment, then took it: "What is this?"

"The key."

Lin Shu was even more confused. "What key?"

Dou Shiliu: "There's a house in the capital that belongs to me. Here's the key."

Lin Shuxin's disappointment was shattered by her daughter's incoherent ramblings: "Girl... have you gone crazy from studying too much? Mom will take you to the hospital to get checked out."

As they were talking, she decided to take Dou Shiliu to the hospital, saying, "Wait for Mom to bring the house keys."

After hurriedly finding the key, Lin Shu pulled Dou Shiliu downstairs.

God help her, please don't let her daughter get a mental illness.

As soon as Lin Shu went downstairs, she was startled by a Maserati. Why would such a rich person park their car in front of her house?

He Zicheng poked his head out and greeted Dou Shiliu cheerfully, "Sister Li~"

This morning, Dou Shiliu called him and said she would take him to see the house, so he came over right away.

Lin Shu was startled. Seeing the handsome He Zicheng smilingly staring at her girl, she protectively hid Dou Shiliu behind her back and asked, "What are you doing? Who are you calling here?"

He Zicheng scratched his head in confusion, then said nonchalantly, "Auntie, of course I'm calling you your daughter."

What did you call her?

"Sister Li!"

"You've definitely got the wrong person!"

This young man looks energetic, but I didn't expect him to have such a street-smart vibe.

Dou Shiliu found He Zicheng's helpless expression quite amusing and stepped out from behind Lin Shu: "I know him."

Lin Shu was taken aback. When did her girl meet such a rich boy? Could he be her boyfriend?

Lin Shu's scrutinizing gaze lingered on He Zicheng and Dou Shiliu.

Looking at the handsome He Zicheng, and then at Dou Shiliu whose face was a bit sallow.

Lin Shu felt awkward, as if her daughter wanted to rub some meat.

Dou Shiliu calmly pulled Lin Shu into the car: "Let's go."

"Okay!"

He Zicheng stepped on the gas. Before Lin Shu could ask anything, she felt an immense heaviness in her chest and a dizzy head.

She actually gets carsick.

Dou Shiliu gently patted Lin Shu's back: "Lie down for a while."

After all, the city is still quite far from here.

As soon as He Zicheng parked the car, Lin Shu vomited.

Dou Shiliu: "..."

He Zicheng: "..."

Calmly patting Lin Shu's back, and seeing her slowly stop, Dou Shiliu led her out.

He Zicheng frowned, disgustedly left the car on the spot, made a phone call, and asked them to come and clean it later and list it on a second-hand website.

He doesn't want this car anymore.

Turning around, He Zicheng led Dou Shiliu and the others into a villa. He thought the house was quite nice.

Dou Shiliu didn't have any particular requirements for where she lived, while Lin Shu was completely dumbfounded.

"This...? Is this ours?" His voice trembled.

"Um"

"Girl, tell me honestly, what have you been doing lately?"

Lin Shu calmed down and asked her with a serious face.

Dou Shiliu lied without blushing, "I did some business with him."

He Zicheng received a look from Dou Shiliu and nodded directly: "Yes, yes, Sister Li has a great business sense."

Lin Shu looked on with suspicion, but He Zicheng's expression was very serious. He asked doubtfully, "Is there any danger?"

"No, what danger could there be in investing in stocks or something?"

Dou Shiliu spoke up quietly.

“But you’re still so young, you can’t not go to school, you still have to go to school.”
