Zhao Peng and Sun Hao left the place Su Ran and Lin Yue frequented with anger and helplessness. Their hearts were filled with despair and resentment, yet they were powerless to do anything about it. Returning home to find it in complete disarray, they felt immense regret and pain.
The Zhao family's company ultimately had to declare bankruptcy due to its irreversible decline. Zhao Peng's father's hair turned white overnight, and his mother fell ill and was bedridden. Zhao Peng himself faced setbacks everywhere, unable to find work. His former arrogance had vanished, replaced by endless frustration and confusion.
The Sun family's company also couldn't escape bankruptcy; its stock price plummeted, and the company was forcibly liquidated. Sun Hao's father, unable to withstand the immense pressure, suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized, leaving the entire financial burden on Sun Hao's mother. Because of this tarnished record, Sun Hao faced discrimination in society and fell into dire straits.
After Zhao Peng and Sun Hao's company went bankrupt, their lives became extremely difficult. In an attempt to recoup some of their losses, they repeatedly staked out places where Su Ran and Lin Yue frequented, hoping to get their help.
That day, Zhao Peng and Sun Hao finally saw Su Ran and Lin Yue. They rushed forward, their faces filled with humility and pleading.
"Su Ran, Lin Yue, please help us for the sake of the things we've done for you! We're really desperate," Zhao Peng said in a hoarse voice.
Su Ran and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, their faces expressionless, but their eyes revealed a hint of contempt.
Zhao Peng and Sun Hao gritted their teeth, suppressing their anger. Sun Hao said, "Our family company has gone bankrupt. We have nothing left. Can't you help us?"
At this point, some rich kids nearby started to mock them.
"Hey, isn't this Zhao Peng and Sun Hao? How did they end up in such a sorry state?" a rich kid said with a smile.
“Yeah, weren’t they so arrogant before? Now they’re begging Su Ran and Lin Yue?” another rich kid chimed in.
"Haha, they think Su Ran and Lin Yue would really help them? How naive!" said one of the rich kids.
Zhao Peng and Sun Hao felt deeply humiliated listening to these sarcastic remarks. They had done so much for Su Ran and Lin Yue, and now they were being treated like this.
Su Ran's bodyguard stepped forward and stopped Zhao Peng and Sun Hao, who were trying to rush forward.
"You'd better be smart and take the money and leave, or you'll be in big trouble," the bodyguard said menacingly.
Zhao Peng and Sun Hao looked at each other helplessly, knowing they were no match for Su Ran, Lin Yue, and their bodyguards. In the end, they could only pick up the money from the ground and turn to leave.
The rich kids, seeing their pathetic figures, burst into laughter.
"Those two guys finally got what they deserved!"
"They think they're so great, but now they're just like dogs."
"Haha, serves him right!"
Su Ran and Lin Yue remained silent, merely observing the scene indifferently before turning and leaving.
With the money, Lin Qian couldn't wait to improve her family's living conditions. She bought a spacious three-bedroom apartment in a mid-range community with a good location and convenient transportation.
This apartment has excellent natural light, with sunlight streaming through the windows and creating a warm atmosphere. The decor is simple yet cozy, and the furniture is placed just right, giving a comfortable feel. The surrounding community also has relatively complete amenities, including supermarkets, clinics, and schools, which can basically meet daily needs.
When Lin Qian happily brought her parents to their new home, her parents were overwhelmed by the spacious and bright rooms before them, their joy overflowing. However, after a brief moment of excitement, a sense of unease arose in their hearts, and they began to question the source of Lin Qian's money.
"Qianqian, where did you get this money from?" Lin's father asked with a worried expression, his brows furrowed.
Lin's mother echoed anxiously, "Yes, Qianqian, we can't take dirty money. What if you go astray?"
Seeing her parents' anxious expressions, Lin Qian felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She smiled and explained, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I used my scholarship money to invest in stocks and made a lot of money, which is why I bought this house. Plus, Mom's medical expenses are covered now."
Lin Qian's parents felt their worries eased somewhat after hearing her words, but they still had some doubts.
"Qianqian, investing in stocks is quite risky. Are you really okay with this?" Lin's father asked.
Lin Qian held her parents' hands tightly, her eyes resolute, and said, "Dad, Mom, I have some knowledge and understanding of the stock market, and I will operate cautiously. I'm all grown up now, and I know what I should and shouldn't do. I'm using money earned through my own knowledge and hard work, and I will definitely not let you down. Come on, let me show you our new home."
Looking at the house in front of them, Lin's parents felt joy but also some hesitation, and were not quite sure if they would go inside.
"Qianqian, this house looks nice. Won't we get it dirty if we go in?" Lin's mother said with some concern.
"Mom, this is our home. Don't think too much, come in!" Lin Qian smiled and took her mother's hand as they walked into the house.
After entering the house, Lin's parents looked around, their eyes filled with surprise and joy.
Just then, 003 asked in Lin Qian's mind, "Master, why didn't you choose a more upscale neighborhood? With your current financial strength, you could easily buy a better house."
Lin Qian answered in her mind, "003, my parents have lived an ordinary life all their lives. If they suddenly move into a high-end community, they will feel very uncomfortable. Although this house is in a mid-range community, it is still very good. Let's buy it as a transition, and then we can consider moving to a better house after they have gradually adapted."
