Chapter 52 Zhao Xiyan's Preparations
Zhao Xiyan was guessed by Yu Yin, and she did have this idea. She was making plans for her future.
Zhao Yunli has four children. He loves his second daughter and third son, and does not neglect them because they are the middle children.
Because the second daughter was born right after the eldest son, making a good family, he naturally doted on his first daughter. Compared with the bad eldest son, the second daughter seemed more sensible and smart, so he paid more attention to her.
Zhao Yunli wanted to please his father and have him raise his own children. He mistakenly believed that his father disliked his granddaughter, so he had high expectations for his third son. With the negative example of his eldest son in mind, Zhao Yunli was extremely cautious in educating his third son. Although Zhao Xinzhi later expressed his lack of interest in his third son, he still habitually valued this son.
Zhao Xiyan is Zhao Yunli's last child. Her birth did not make her parents particularly excited. They were used to the birth of newborns. It didn't matter whether it was a boy or a girl, and it didn't matter whether the child would become successful or not.
Her parents dote on her, but it is difficult for parents to treat their children equally, and she is not the one who is favored.
Ms. Jian cares most about Zhao Jinian. He is a worry, and she is always worried about him. Zhao Xiyan is a worry, but her abilities are not as outstanding as her older brothers and sisters. She is the child who receives the least love from her parents.
The Zhao family was large, but ultimately, most of the wealth went to one person, with the rest sharing the remaining assets. Zhao Xiyan had three biological brothers and sisters, and she wasn't her parents' favorite child, so the amount of wealth that ended up in her hands was significantly reduced.
When Zhao Xinzhi was still alive and his parents hadn't divided their inheritance among their children, Zhao Xiyan could live comfortably because they covered all her expenses, and she occasionally received pocket money from her parents and uncle. But this wasn't necessarily the case in the future.
Zhao Xinzhi established a family trust, but the core beneficiaries are currently only Zhao Yunbin and Zhao Shunian. This is all in preparation for taking over the Zhaoshi Group.
Ms. Jian mentioned that the beneficiary might change, but Zhao Xiyan did not think that she would be the core beneficiary and might only receive regular living expenses.
Shang Jiawen and Zhao Xiyan are in similar situations, but Shang Jiawen's grandfather has passed away, and the division of family property has come to an end. The Shang family has more people than the Zhao family, and they have also established a trust fund. All family members are beneficiaries, but their family background is not as rich as the Zhao family.
Shang Jiawen's father wasn't the heir to the family business, and her family received much less than the rest of the family. Her father's business ventures often failed, making him a typical middle-aged prodigal son. He was Shang Jiawen's grandfather's least favorite child. Shang Jiawen now receives hundreds of thousands of yuan a month for living expenses. With her standard of living declining, she's looking for a way out.
Zhao Xiyan optimistically estimated she could receive a maximum of one to two million Hong Kong dollars, which would become a significant source of income. She would own assets like luxury homes, cars, and yachts, but these would be expensive to maintain. She would need to pay substantial expenses for these assets. Overall, she lacked assets that could provide her with a steady stream of financial security.
When she gets married, her partner should be of equal status to her, and there is a high probability that he is also a rich kid who lives off his trust fund and waits for death.
She was lucky that her husband had business acumen and could make a decent living. If she was like Shang Jiawen's father, she would be miserable. He had no business acumen but refused to take it easy and insisted on starting a business. She also had to be on guard against the other party taking away her trust. Zhao Xiyan was asked to run a business, but she didn't think she had the talent.
One or two million is a lot of money for many people, but for Zhao Xiyan, it is just enough money to buy a few bags and clothes. She is used to a high-consumption lifestyle. She has lived like this since she was a child. It is difficult for her to change this habit. It is not something that can be changed just by saying so. Others can't help her, so she has to plan ahead for herself.
This is why Zhao Xiyan was attracted when she heard Shang Jiawen's plan to film a variety show.
In fact, Zhao Xiyan was quite envious of Yu Yin, whose quality of life was much higher than hers. As long as she didn't divorce her eldest brother, Yu Yin could spend her life lavishly without worrying about money.
Because the majority of the Zhao family's wealth ultimately fell into the hands of the eldest brother, he was the actual controller of the family trust in the future. His wife, Yu Yin, benefited from it for her entire life, and even if the eldest brother gave her a little money, it would be enough for her to spend for a long time.
Even if the eldest brother goes crazy and suddenly becomes incompetent and unable to fight against others, and the power of Zhaoshi falls into the hands of others, the shares and property in his hands are still enough for their family to live a comfortable life. The Liang family is an example of this recently. They are not as prosperous as before, but they are not short of money.
Zhao Xiyan knew all about this because Ms. Jian often talked about how much property her uncle's family would get and how much her family was at a disadvantage. However, she had no grudge against her uncle. He treated her well, and the only favoritism she could feel from the elders came from him.
………
Yu Yin went out for a day and had a SPA to relax her body and mind, but she felt that resting early would allow her energy to be fully restored.
At night, Yu Yin had just laid down on the bed when he heard the door opening. It was Zhao Shunian coming in.
Zhao Shunian glanced at the time uncertainly. "It's only ten o'clock. You have absolutely no nightlife."
Yu Yin felt like she was being provoked by him. She felt like her tail was stepped on and retorted, "I do!"
"I'd love to hear about your nightlife."
Yu Yin thought carefully about how she rarely had a nightlife, not as colorful as Mo Qianyao's. Her nightlife was monotonous and boring. She said vaguely, "I spend most of my nightlife with you, and you don't even know."
Zhao Shunian instantly understood what she said, "I forgot for a moment that you do have a nightlife."
When Zhao Shunian said this, he was looking into Yu Yin's eyes. When she was emotional, these eyes would be moist and misty, as if she was reluctant but also welcoming.
Yu Yin was thinking about his gaze falling on her face, as if there were tentacles. She felt that she was being touched by him, which was very burning. Her fair face gradually turned two light reds.
She felt a little useless as she blushed just because he looked at her like that. After she came to her senses, she covered her head with the quilt.
Zhao Shunian didn't let her hide. He lifted half of the quilt and pressed his body against her through the soft quilt. "You've been with others, so you should spend a day with me."
Yu Yin's face turned from a light blush to a full flush after being covered with the quilt. "What do you want me to do with you?"
This look was so beautiful that Zhao Shunian couldn't help but kiss her cheek, just a light touch like a dragonfly skimming the water. "Play golf."
Yu Yin originally wanted to take a day off and rejected Zhao Shunian's proposal, but when she thought about the huge dividend of more than 20 million US dollars that Zhao Shunian would deposit into her foreign bank account on Friday, she felt reluctant to accept the offer and finally agreed.
Zhao Xiyan and Zhao Yunxin were not there on Sunday, as they had flown to Paris for fun.
Yu Yin and Zhao Shunian went to the golf course, and Qin He and Yu Meimei also followed them.
On the golf course, Zhao Shunian told Yu Yin how to better hit the green from his current position and the estimated number of strokes.
Yu Yin was already somewhat familiar with golf and could understand what he meant.
Yu Yin felt that she was more of a green tea character when she was learning to play golf. She pestered Zhao Shunian to teach her how to play, but it wasn't the kind of persistent pestering. It was more ambiguous. She was just being cunning to please him.
