"Brother Shao Yue, how long can eighty million last?"
The tofu pudding arrived, and Liang Youwei asked while eating, intending to let Shao Yue settle the bill for her.
"Logically, it should last for a long time, as money can make money. However, if you are the subject, it will take a few months at most. Why do you suddenly ask this?" Shao Yue opened the small plastic box of crispy and sour bamboo shoots for her with an elegant movement, as if he was opening a bottle of red wine.
"...My dad has blocked my card." Liang Youwei paused, pretending to be relaxed. "I guess he won't give it to me again in the future."
Shao Yue bought two servings of tofu pudding and ate with her. He opened his own portion, his expression unchanged: "Do you need your brother's help? It's free for you."
"No way." Liang Youwei ate the sour bamboo shoots and said stubbornly: "My elder brother and second sister will give me money." Although she was not sure, she had to say this to others, otherwise she would lose face.
Shao Yue said nonchalantly: "Okay."
The salty tofu slid into her stomach. As she ate, Liang Youwei suddenly felt her eyes sore. She lowered her head again and asked in a low voice: "Brother Shao Yue, if I become a pauper in the future, will you still be friends with me? Will you still... treat me as your sister?"
Shao Yue didn't even look up, agreeing incredibly quickly, which was almost inconsistent with his lazy nature: "Yes. Are you satisfied, huh?"
Liang Youwei burst into laughter and looked up at him: "Satisfied."
"You're useless." Shao Yue also looked up and wiped her tears naturally.
His phone kept vibrating in his pocket, filled with messages, but he ignored any of them.
Eighteen Men in the Imperial Capital (18)
@Shao Yue @Shao Yue @Shao Yue, have you found out? How is Liang Youwei doing now? Is she real?
[Seeing the white swan turn into a gray swan, my brother gave me a helping hand! @Shao Yue]
[Second Young Master, please at least reply!]
Messages were sent one after another, but the person involved refused to show up. The remaining few people felt bored and simply moved their position to a small group.
Seventeen Men in the Imperial Capital (17)
[Who's going to try first? Liang Youwei is no longer Liang San now.]
[Si Yanle, go ahead. You're young, and if you make a big fuss, you can use your ignorance as an excuse.]
The one called Si Yanle was obviously not happy: [Fuck you, I'm still young, but you're just cowards, afraid of that mad dog Qin Zhen]
"What are you afraid of? There are seventeen of us, and we can't find one who can marry into the Liang family? Besides, Liang Youwei isn't the real Liang San, so marrying her wouldn't be easy. What's the difference between marrying one person and marrying seventeen people?"
[Haha, I'm afraid the man who married my wife is so widowed. We were all fine at first, but in the end he wouldn't let me touch her.]
Stop talking about Liang Youwei all the time. You're such a loser. I'm setting up a card game at the Ping An Club. The prize is that car. Who wants to come?
"Bur, why did you have to bet on that car? Damn it! My dad has a meeting there today and I can't go. Shit."
…
The imperial capital is rich and dazzling, and there are many playboys. Among the top group, there is a group with the pseudonym "Eighteen Men of the Imperial Capital" and the real name "Seventeen Men of the Imperial Capital".
Shao Yue usually hangs out with them, but he is not a pure playboy. He goes on business trips from time to time, so Zhen Danku and him don't have much in common.
After all, a true playboy would always talk about sex, and when it comes to sex, Liang Youwei has to be mentioned. But Shao Yue always kept his mouth shut about her, never saying a word, and when asked, he simply said he had no interest in children. What a weirdo.
In fact, the so-called Seventeen Men also don't understand why they are all obsessed with Liang Youwei. She is obviously not the most beautiful woman in the world, and she is also very lazy. She is good for nothing except spending money.
However, as soon as they saw that person, they all came forward to talk to her, wanting to see her pure and inexplicably charming face, and wanting to hear her strange and lovely accent with a Beijing and Wu accent.
Maybe getting it will dispel the mystery, but the prerequisite is still "getting it".

The next day after receiving the business card, Shang Jingyi went to Yixing for an interview.
As a student of a prestigious university, with an impressive on-campus resume and strong professional qualities, Shang Jingyi passed the exam easily.
HR smiled and said to her: "Xiao Shang is so outstanding, why did you only come to Yixing today?"
"Because I just met Mr. Liang yesterday." Shang Jingyi smiled politely and spoke with a double entendre.
Shang Jingyi had submitted her resume to major companies like Yixing, but her applications had all fallen on deaf ears. She hated the world, so she naturally didn't think it was because of her own lack of ability; the only reason was that she had no background.
Is she still going to waste her time? It must be someone else's fault.
Now that she has the opportunity to bully others, she is willing to use Miss Liang's name to at least tell her new colleagues that she is an angry young man with a bad temper.
HR naturally understood her implication, and felt a little emotional in his heart, but he calmly changed the subject and talked about the Liang family.
"There are four Liang family members in the company. Old Director Liang is the helmsman of the group. He was a very powerful figure in his youth, needless to say. Mr. Liang is the eldest son. He is young and promising, and has basically taken over Mr. Liang's responsibilities. Ms. Liang is the second daughter, and her abilities are also outstanding. She is in no way inferior to Mr. Liang, and they are equally talented. Ms. Wei is the youngest, and she is still in college. She often does market research and comes to the company less often..."
Ms. Xiaowei?
The pink and tearful face flashed before his eyes. Shang Jingyi lowered his eyes calmly and curled the corners of his lips.
Doing market research often... doesn't that mean you just like going out? The HR lady is quite proficient in the art of speaking.
There is a huge difference between large companies and small companies.
Shang Jingyi stayed here for two days and finally felt the reality of this sentence.
The working environment, the abilities of colleagues, the quality of superiors, as well as the humanistic care and welfare benefits are all very different.
Shang Jingyi blew on the coffee, drank the slightly cool strong American coffee, and started the third day of work without changing his expression.
However, before she had gotten into the mood for long today, she was called away alone by her boss's boss's boss.
The person was Mr. Liang’s general secretary, who looked to be around forty years old. She smiled gently and said she wanted to take him for a physical examination.
…
Looking at the paternity test report in front of him, Shang Jingyi frowned deeply.
The plot of the novel is reflected in reality? What the hell.
After more than a decade of being frustrated, now she was told that her biological father was the chairman of Yixing and she was the daughter of the Liang family? Why didn't she tell her such good news earlier?
After hiding all her anger, resentment and indignation, she raised her eyes again and looked at the man in front of her.
Mr. Liang is indeed not young. Judging from his face, he must be around 60 years old. If you don't know him, you might think he had liposuction surgery on his face.
The man's temples were a striking white, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were subtle but noticeable. His features were sharp, his eyes were indifferent. He must have been handsome and dashing in his youth, but as he aged, he looked stern and mean.
Shang Jingyi let him look at her calmly. When the man opposite her relaxed his expression a little and called her "Jingyi", she followed his lead and took a few steps closer.
Then, he called out sincerely: "Dad."
Liang Jiangsheng raised his eyebrows and his smile gradually deepened. He raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "Now that it's confirmed, let's go home from now on."
This is great and saves a lot of unnecessary steps.
The man turned his head slightly and instructed his secretary, "According to the previous arrangement of Miss Liang... Fourth Miss, arrange a personal attendant for Miss Third."
The fourth young lady... should be Liang Youwei.
Shang Jingyi thought, sitting in a luxurious car that he had never dared to look at before.
But judging from their ages, they are probably not sisters.
Liang Jiangsheng was still looking at Shang Jingyi—no, the past twenty-one years of Liang Jingyi.
More than 20 years ago, Shangjia was also a wealthy family above the middle class, otherwise it would have been impossible for them to give birth in the same hospital as the Liang family.
After being mistakenly taken away to Jia Shang, Liang Jingyi lived the life of a little princess. Jia Shang had only this one daughter, so naturally he pampered her.
Liang Jingyi is very smart and learns everything quickly. In addition to her studies, she also has various talents. In short, as long as she has the opportunity to learn, she can achieve perfection in everything.
But the good times did not last long. Shang's father's investment failed, and the project manager he guaranteed ran away. The business went bankrupt completely, and Liang Jingyi's quality of life plummeted.
His father was driven to suicide by jumping from a building. His mother, a university professor, argued with debt collectors at her funeral and was pushed against a tombstone, where she bled to death. Both husband and wife passed away, leaving behind only their ten-year-old son, Liang Jingyi.
Liang Jingyi has been introverted and cold since she was a child, and her relatives did not have deep feelings for her. After raising her for a few months, each of them only gave her a small amount of money every year and left her to fend for herself.
Seeing this, Liang Jiangsheng felt a rare pity. After all, this was his own daughter, and a very capable one at that.
In his opinion, Liang Jingyi was born into the Liang family. Even in difficult circumstances, she would never bow to fate. The more she was pushed into the mud, the more she would accumulate strength and bounce back.
Liang Jingyi was a highly motivated person. After high school, she stopped paying her own tuition. The reason was simple: her academic performance was so outstanding that universities were eager to recruit her, offering full tuition waivers and scholarships sufficient to support her daily life.
What’s even more dramatic is that Liang Jingyi and Liang Youwei are in the same university.
However, one got in through his own examination, and the other got in through the donation of a building by his eldest brother and second sister.
…
Liang Jiangsheng is getting to know Liang Jingyi, and Liang Jingyi is also doing his homework on the Liang family.
She had no interest in past history; there was no need to dwell on past glories every day. She only looked at the period from the time Liang Jiangsheng took over. Since then, the Liang family had undoubtedly become one of the most powerful families in the imperial capital.
Liang Jiangsheng was married twice.
The first was a business marriage with the eldest daughter of the Si family. The two treated each other with respect and gave birth to Liang Ting'an and Liang Zhihui. Shortly after Liang Zhihui was born, Miss Si, fed up with her loveless marriage, took the initiative to file for divorce. Liang Jiangsheng agreed, and the two parted ways peacefully.
From then on, Liang Jiangsheng immersed himself in the pink flowers, letting his nature run wild. It wasn't until the third year that he fell in love with an 18-year-old model. Everyone thought it was just a whim, but before long, the model became Mrs. Liang—and she didn't even have a prenuptial agreement.
Liang Ting'an and Liang Zhihui treated their stepmother very well. After Ms. He moved into the Liang residence, Ms. He attended both of their parents' meetings, and the teachers called her "Ting'an/Zhihui Mom."
In the second year of their marriage, He Jingshu gave birth to the third daughter of the Liang family, and the Liang family's business empire also expanded to its peak that year. They were involved in automobiles, medical care, real estate, electronics... all of which were profitable.
As the business world churned on, Liang Jiangsheng's three children grew up. Their relationship was so close that they looked as if they were born from the same mother, unlike any wealthy siblings.
However, compared to her outstanding siblings, Liang Youwei looked like a fool. But this was actually harmless. After all, the Liang family already had enough reliable successors. One more shrewd one would only bring more hidden dangers.
Liang Jiangsheng cares about Liang Youwei's "stupidity" probably just because he is afraid of losing face.
After reading Liang Youwei's one-page introduction, Shang Jingyi put down the folder and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Isn’t it better to be a little stupid?
It's great to be a little stupid.
What's more, this idiot is a fake.
【Author’s words】
The harsh taste of Jingyi is simply too delicious...
