Xia Mingyue was overjoyed. Great! All those annoying guys were gone. From now on, this house would be all hers.
Lin Zhi couldn't help but burst into tears, and Xia Mingyue served her tea and water and gently comforted her, being extremely attentive.
"Mom, don't be sad. You still have me. I won't go anywhere. I'll always be with you."
These gestures, which had previously touched Linzhi deeply, now failed to move her at all.
Lin Zhi felt completely lost, and a voice kept asking her in her mind:
Is it really worth it to drive away your two biological children for someone who is not related to you by blood?
"Don't be sad, be careful your asthma doesn't flare up again."
Xia Congwen patted Lin Zhi on the back to comfort her.
Then, with a contemptuous look, he said, "I'm telling you this, at most a week, the two of them will obediently come back and admit their mistakes."
"I'll definitely establish proper family rules then, so they'll know who's in charge here."
Lin Zhi didn't speak; a sudden surge of intense panic welled up inside her.
She had a premonition that they would never come back, and that she had lost her two children forever.
After leaving the villa area, Qi An and Yao Wangdi stood on the side of the road, not moving for several minutes.
Yao Wangdi said cautiously, "Brother, let's go return all the clothes we bought today. The tags are still on."
Qi An was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. It turned out that this girl thought he was broke.
"Have you forgotten what I said? Your brother has plenty of money and won't let you suffer."
Yao Wangdi said earnestly, "I'm not afraid of hardship. As the book says, 'No pain, no gain, no gain, no gain.'"
"Nonsense." Qi An said with a look of disapproval.
"That's all bullshit. If you can endure hardship, there will be endless hardship. As the saying goes, 'If you can endure the bitterest of hardships, you'll serve those above you.'"
Furthermore, does suffering first guarantee sweetness later? More likely, it will only become more bitter. But if it's sweet first, then it's sweet—remember that?
Yao Wangdi nodded blankly.
My brother's words, though from a unique perspective, somehow make a lot of sense. How come?
Qi An took the opportunity to teach the child a lesson, but before he could say more than a few words, his ears twitched: "They're here."
Yao Wangdi looked up.
Just then, a really cool car appeared at the corner, sped up in front of her in the blink of an eye, and stopped.
She didn't recognize the car; she only noticed that the logo was two "m"s stacked together.
So, Yao Wangdi, who had always believed that the best cars were Mercedes-Benz and BMW, made a mental judgment about this car—
off-brand car.
A stunningly beautiful woman got off the car. She took off her sunglasses, revealing a face that was incredibly sweet.
Just as Yao Wangdi was wondering why this young lady had stopped in front of them, the beautiful woman quickly stepped forward and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"Oh, Yang-ge, this must be your sister, she's so cute."
Qi An coughed, swatting away her clutches, and introduced Yao Wangdi:
"This is my brother's friend, you can just call her Sister Fugui."
"Hello, Sister Fugui."
Yao Wangdi greeted her politely, but in her heart she was wondering, why would such a pretty young lady be called Fugui?
"Hey, sweetie, get in the car quickly, your sister came here especially to pick you up."
Yao Wangdi looked at Qi An, and Qi An nodded: "Listen to her, she's just like your brother, she'll always be good to you."
"oh."
Yao Wangdi nodded, but her mind was wandering.
That's... Could she be my brother's girlfriend?
That's right, this must be my sister-in-law!
Yao Wangdi pondered all the way until the car stopped in front of a villa that was even larger than the Xia family's.
Qi An reminded her, "We've arrived, get off the bus."
Fu Gui opened the car door and helped her out: "Ta-da! This is your home from now on. Wang Di, do you like it?"
Yao Wangdi felt a little dizzy.
Is this where they will live from now on?
In her mind, if she left the Xia family with her brother, even if she didn't stay under the bridge, she would at least stay in a small hotel.
When Yao Wangdi left the Xia family with Qi An, she had already thought about how the two of them would make a living in the future.
My brother used to be a young master, so he probably doesn't know anything.
She's different; she's been doing chores since she was little, so she's very quick and efficient.
She can work in a restaurant serving food and washing dishes, or in a factory tightening screws; that should be enough to support the two of them.
At that moment, the large garden villa in front of her, which she had only seen on television, told her that her concerns were completely unnecessary.
Yao Wangdi swallowed hard and replied to Fugui, "I...I like it."
Even after sitting on the soft sofa in the living room, Yao Wangdi was still a little dazed.
She felt the soft sofa beneath her, so soft it felt like she could sink into it, and then looked at the dazzlingly luxurious decor and furnishings of the room, and inwardly screamed.
My sister-in-law is so rich!
Is this considered me living off a woman?
And you even brought your own burden along to eat?
Whatever, I'll just be a kept man.
Besides, what's wrong with living off a woman?
My brother is so handsome, even if he's a kept man, it's because of his own abilities. Others can't even dream of having that kind of relationship.
Yao Wangdi stared at Fugui with admiration. "My sister-in-law is such a good person! She's beautiful and rich, and she treats her and my brother exceptionally well."
Oh, and it's very simple.
She's so rich but drives a cheap car; she clearly knows how to manage her money. I really like her sister-in-law!
Yao Wangdi secretly resolved that she must behave well in the future, win her sister-in-law's favor, and let her brother live off her for the rest of his life.
Fu Gui then showed Yao Wangdi around her room, which was decorated in a pink and dreamy style, like a princess's secret castle.
Everything made Yao Wangdi feel as if she were in a dream.
No, she wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.
Qi An said to Yao Wangdi, "You rest for a while. Your brother and sister Fugui have something to discuss. We'll take you out for dinner later."
"Okay, sure."
Yao Wangdi was very happy that her brother and sister-in-law had a good relationship, so she thoughtfully closed the door.
The two went to another room, and Qi An asked Fu Gui, "Is everything settled?"
"Hehe, no doubt about it."
Fu Gui took out a bank card and handed it to Qi An: "All the money of those two old bastards is here."
Before taking Yao Wangdi to the amusement park, Qi An assigned Fu Gui a task.
A few hours ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Yao brought out three large leather trunks from the cellar, poured all the money inside onto the bed, and happily counted it over and over again.
They didn't like keeping their money in the bank. Every time Xia Mingyue transferred money, they would withdraw it and hide it all in their cellar, taking it out to count it from time to time.
Mother Yao carefully stacked the stacks of money neatly and said happily:
"We have three million now. Two million will be used to buy a house for our son, and the remaining one million will be kept for him to get married and have children."
Mr. Yao snorted, "That brat hasn't even transferred the money yet. She's really grown up and gotten too big for her britches. She's forgotten who gave her this good life."
Yao's mother also cursed, "How dare she hang up on me? I'll leave her hanging for a couple of days, and then I'll ask for more money next time."
When Yao Wangdi was three years old, her parents accidentally discovered that she was not their biological child. After checking with the county hospital, they made many inquiries and found the Xia family.
When Yao's parents saw Xia Mingyue living in a villa, wearing princess dresses, and living the life of a rich young lady, they were shocked.
The two hit it off immediately and gave up the idea of exchanging their daughter for her.
It wasn't that they loved their daughter so much or wanted her to have a good life; rather, they were planning to play the long game and turn Xia Mingyue into their ATM.
The couple were overjoyed when they learned that the Xia family's eldest son was mentally challenged.
Then the Xia family will belong to their daughter from now on.
Rounded up, it's their precious son's.
From then on, Yao's parents treated Yao Wangdi as a nanny. Since she wasn't their biological daughter, they didn't feel bad about using her.
The thought of wealthy women serving them like slaves and being groped at will filled the resentful couple with a sense of satisfaction.
It felt as if I had become a superior person.
When Xia Mingyue was ten years old, Yao's parents contacted her.
The two men used the promise of telling the Xia family the truth as leverage, along with tears, sob stories, and emotional appeals, to ask Xia Mingyue for money.
Xia Mingyue secretly went back to see that house, and after returning, she had nightmares for several days. After that, she obediently gave them the money.
An impoverished family, crude and vicious parents, and a mentally challenged and violent younger brother.
She would rather die than go back. Let Yao Wangdi stay there for the rest of her life. She, Xia Mingyue, will always be the little princess of the Xia family.
So, over the course of six years, Yao's parents repeatedly asked Xia Mingyue for money. Including the 200,000 yuan they received from selling Yao Wangdi, they had already amassed 3 million yuan.
And then... wealth and fortune arrived.
They wiped it all out in one go.
