A person came up and handed over a box.
Jiang Si was also very curious about what they could possibly give her when they were already in such dire straits.
Jiang Si opened it, and inside was a piece of wood.
The old man chuckled and said, "This was given to us by that person, who said it would be very useful to you, Master Jiang."
Jiang Si took it out, held it up and examined it carefully. The color was dark brown, even somewhat charred.
"Was that person really not playing a trick on me?" Jiang Si asked seriously.
I can't find any use for this piece of wood no matter how I look at it.
The old man chuckled awkwardly.
He didn't know what that person had said at the time.
"Alright then." Jiang Si accepted it. Maybe it really will be useful? She didn't know what that person's intentions were. Surely it wouldn't all come to nothing in the end.
Zhao Huaishu was in a good mood because he was free, and in a good mood, he became generous. He gave each of these people who had regained their freedom a small box of gold bars.
Li Jianshan stared dumbfounded at his secret stash of money.
A huge warehouse, piled high with gold, so bright it was blinding.
Then Li Jianshan lost his temper and said, "You didn't steal this from our country, did you?"
Zhao Huaishu glanced at him. "What are you thinking about? This is my family's ancestral gold mine, okay?"
Back then, he was a carefree young nobleman with a gold mine at home. He could have lived a life of leisure, but then a madman appeared and turned him into a vampire who could never see the light of day and was forever deprived of his freedom.
His family members all died in the end, leaving him all alone.
"Do you want a whole case? Take whatever you want," Zhao Huaishu asked Li Jianshan generously.
Li Jianshan: "Thank you so much. Why don't you just give me the whole warehouse?" An adult wouldn't be satisfied with just one box.
“That won’t do,” Zhao Huaishu said. “We still have to show our respect to Miss Jiang.”
After all, Jiang Si was his older brother.
Jiang Si: "..."
She's not overly materialistic, and she's not actually short of money.
As Zhao Huaishu emerged, the barrier that had surrounded the castle dissipated, and the magnificent castle finally appeared before everyone.
Zhao Huaishu stretched out his hands and looked up to greet the sun in the sky.
He finally regained his limited freedom.
With no worries, Jiang Si was generally quite happy in Sunset Country, except for the Lu family calling her repeatedly from different phones.
Jiang Si simply turned off her phone.
Li Jianshan told her, "The Lu family has encountered a major problem with one of their projects, and the losses are estimated to be substantial."
Jiang Si slumped in her chair, basking in the sun, looking quite content: "There is no such thing as eternal wealth and honor, and the Lu family doesn't need to be too attached to it."
Li Jianshan: "..."
Ordinary people don't have such a broad-minded attitude.
Li Qinghuai and Qi Yan had no recollection of those days of unconsciousness, and they didn't have any negative emotions. They leisurely basked in the sun.
Li Jianshan still has a job, so he can only leave these three generations of people here while he goes back to work, feeling miserable.
Zhao Huaishu felt some sympathy for him, her eyes seeming to say, "Why are you still working?" She waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll take good care of them."
Li Jianshan hardened his fist.
These days, not working is called being idle.
Jiang Si then traveled to many other places and returned to China after about a month.
I also brought back a handsome mixed-race guy.
Guan Qingchen and Han Yunluo heard some things in the group chat, but it's not the same as seeing it with their own eyes.
Zhao Huaishu is very interested in the rapid development of modern society and knows that social software such as WeChat allows people to communicate with the world without leaving home.
He asked Jiang Si to lend him her Qiankun Bag and filled several boxes of gold for him.
That's right, he was meant to be divided up.
These are Jiang Si's friends; giving them a box of gold is not excessive.
Please accept this.
Guan Qingchen and Han Yunluo: "..."
Although neither of them is short of money, they wouldn't just casually give away a box of gold.
Jiang Si returned to China very discreetly, but even with her low profile, she was still targeted.
Two days later, Lu Xingquan came knocking on their door.
The Lu family's affairs had been causing him a lot of trouble lately, and nothing he did went smoothly, leading him to believe that the Lu family was truly on its last legs.
Jiang Si didn't harbor any hatred towards this Uncle Lu.
"Stop struggling. The Lu family is going to fall eventually. You might as well get out now." Jiang Si said, "Didn't you already plan your way out? Without the Lu family, you'll live a more comfortable life. Why not?"
Lu Xingquan no longer seemed to doubt why Jiang Si knew these things.
"Since you already know, I'll get straight to the point."
“You have severed your mother-daughter relationship with Ruan Qiao, but you are still a member of the Lu family. Can you really just stand by and watch the Lu family fall?”
The Lu family will always be his home.
Jiang Si couldn't help but laugh.
My good mood after returning from the trip was somewhat ruined.
"A member of the Lu family? Did I hear that right?"
“Back then, someone predicted my fate, saying that I was born to be lonely and widowed, and that I would bring misfortune to my relatives and children. They said that my biological father was killed by this curse, and that your good mother deliberately abandoned me, who was only a few years old, in the deep mountains. This was not abandonment, but a death sentence.”
"In this case, are we still considered part of the group?" Jiang Si pressed.
Lu Xingquan knew there was more to the story than met the eye, but he had no idea it was so sordid. His face turned somewhat pale: "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, and he never imagined that his mother, who had spent her whole life practicing vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist prayers, would do such a heinous thing.
"The Lu family's good fortune has been almost completely ruined by its unworthy descendants. The decline of the Lu family is an inescapable fate." Jiang Si took a sip of tea and continued, "People who are caught in the trap will suffer the consequences. I hope Uncle Lu can understand this principle."
Lu Xingquan was incredibly clever, and naturally guessed what Jiang Si had left unsaid.
If he continues to linger in the Lu family's quagmire, he will eventually be dragged down with them.
Within two days, news broke that Lu Xingquan had stepped down as chairman of the Lu Group, and the stock price plummeted.
Old Mrs. Lu pointed her finger at his nose and scolded, "You unfilial son! Are you just going to stand by and watch the Lu family fall apart?"
Lu Xingquan listened to the reprimand with his head down, without saying a word.
"I knew she was a jinx. Ever since she appeared, our Lu family has been plagued by one problem after another." Old Mrs. Lu's eyes were fierce as she blamed all the blame on Jiang Si.
Not only did Old Lady Lu feel no guilt about her surviving granddaughter, she even grew to hate Jiang Si even more.
"Does she really think she can crush the Lu family with her meager skills? She's dreaming!"
Lu Xingquan suddenly felt that his mother was a stranger.
Why can someone so naturally assume it's someone else's fault after doing such a thing?
Does he really feel no remorse for what happened back then?
Perhaps Jiang Si is right; the Lu family's ancestral legacy has been squandered generation after generation.
Cui You's nephew was largely to blame for his death, yet he escaped justice and even went so far as to say behind Cui You's back that he deserved it, since he was such a lecherous and poor man.
It's his good fortune to pay for Young Master Lu's life.
Lu Xingquan was really disappointed.
He didn't know what had happened to the Lu family.
Old Mrs. Lu's face was gloomy, and it was unclear what she was plotting.
