"But I've already been adopted by him. Legally speaking..."
Liu Ruying was interrupted by Chen Ya halfway through her words.
"Legally speaking, he might have already made a will," Chen Ya said with a smile. "The will states that my daughter Liu Ruyan will inherit all the family property. My property has nothing to do with Liu Ruying."
Liu Ruying kept shaking her head.
She couldn't accept it.
She couldn't accept this fact.
Chen Ya said, "You're talented at gathering intelligence and thinking rationally, but you're lacking in analyzing individual emotions. You haven't thought carefully enough—how could your uncle, a traditional man, agree to give his family fortune to someone who has no blood relationship with him?"
Liu Ruying said in a daze: "But didn't my cousin run away from home and cut off all ties with us?"
"That's right, but if his property isn't even suitable for a daughter who has severed her relationship with him, then why would he be willing to give it to you, a daughter in name only, when you have no blood relationship with him?"
Then he continued, "Also, according to Liu family tradition, family wealth cannot flow into the hands of outsiders. If they didn't leave the family property to Liu Ruyan because they were afraid she would marry someone from another family, then if I marry you, won't the property flow into the hands of outsiders?"
Liu Ruying was silent and lost in thought.
Chen Ya said, "I'm from the Lu family, and you're from the Liu family. Old Master Lu's arranged marriage didn't say that the Lu family must marry into the Liu family. Your uncle only has one daughter, which means that as long as he doesn't adopt the form of marrying into the Liu family, his family wealth will eventually flow to outsiders."
Liu Ruying suddenly looked up.
She began to understand Chen Ya's way of thinking.
What’s even more terrifying is that his way of thinking is very reasonable.
Moreover, according to his reasoning, it means...
"So, you were fooled," Chen Ya said. "You thought you were scheming against your uncle, but in fact, you were being tricked."
Liu Ruying's eyes widened as she said, "You mean to say that my uncle is also using me as a substitute for someone else, to deal with this arranged marriage?"
"Well, my reasoning tells me this," Chen Ya said, "Once you complete the marriage arranged by Old Master Lu, it will be useless. He will try every means to recall Liu Ruyan, and you will be kicked out."
"If you want proof, it's that they haven't given up on Ruyan Liu," Chen Ya said. "I happen to know that they've been trying to mend their relationship with Ruyan Liu. If they were so heartless as not to even give her the inheritance, why would they bother?"
Liu Ruying sat there in a daze.
She was shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"What should I do?" she asked.
She used a pleading tone.
It's like a person who misses a step when walking down the stairs. When he loses his balance, he will grab anything in his hand.
Liu Ruying is in this state now.
Unconsciously, her attitude towards Chen Ya has changed from "taking care of a mentally retarded boyfriend" to a sense of dependence on her like a senior.
"It's simple. Come work with me," Chen Ya said. "If you have talent and work hard, your wealth will be no less than Pei Hu's. By then, will you still be interested in your uncle's wealth?"
Liu Ruying was silent and thought about it. It seemed to be true.
Although Pei Hu was not accepted by the majority of aristocratic families due to his family background, his wealth had long surpassed that of his uncle.
Moreover, the speed at which he rose to fame was unimaginable. He reached his current level in just a few years, which was more than what his uncle had accumulated in his entire life.
Her only doubt was, was Chen Ya’s power really that great?
Liu Ruying suddenly remembered that when Chen Ya told Pei Hu that he had taken a fancy to her, Pei Hu cast an envious look at her.
That look was one of genuine envy, not courtesy or compliment.
Just Chen Ya's words of "I like it" made the hero feel envious of him...
Liu Ruying suddenly felt that it was even more difficult for her to guess Chen Ya's identity.
In her opinion, apart from the few big guys seen on TV, no other big guys can match the strength that Chen Ya is showing now.
"What do you want me to do?" Liu Ruying asked.
Chen Ya turned and looked at her.
"I appreciate you even more."
"What's wrong?" Liu Ruying tilted her head and clenched her hands on her thighs.
"You recovered pretty quickly. You're very strong mentally."
"Thank you." Liu Ruying said lightly.
Chen Ya stopped the car by the roadside, climbed into the back seat, grabbed a thick book, and slammed it heavily into Liu Ruying's arms.
"This is the information collected for me by the original owner of this car, who is also your predecessor. Please organize it carefully over the next few days and find out the content related to the Lu family," he said.
Liu Ruying looked at the thick stack of information and felt overwhelmed.
"Especially Lu Yuanlong's two brothers," Chen Ya said, "their social relationships need to be fully sorted out."
After flipping through a few pages, Liu Ruying took a deep breath, looked up, and asked, "When do you want it?"
"The sooner the better."
After that, Chen Ya continued, "Please set my contact information as special attention on your phone. I'll be on call 24 hours a day. I may ask you questions at any time. Also, there will be no salary during this period, but if you need funding, you can apply to me."
After saying that, he started the car again.
"Is that all?" Liu Ruying asked, lifting her hair.
"That's all for now."
"OK." Liu Ruying said casually without any hesitation.
