Chapter 5 Defying Fate



Before he could finish speaking, a sharp gaze swept over him like a sword.

The butler's heart skipped a beat.

He then realized his speechlessness.

However, the butler reacted quickly and immediately changed his words, saying, "Mr. Zhan, the president is about to hold a meeting and invites you to attend."

Zhan Xiu's gaze returned to calm: "Alright."

Shi Nian glanced at Zhan Xiuchen in surprise: "You know the president?"

"We know each other."

Shi Nian hesitated for a moment, but couldn't hold back: "I despise the president. Although I have never met him, as the ruling party, he has allowed such a large gap between the rich and the poor. I think he is a very failed leader."

The butler standing nearby turned pale with fright!

This woman!

Is he crazy?!

Do you even know what you're saying?!

Standing in front of her was none other than the President!

Zhan Xiuchen showed no change in expression, but remained silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, "The gap between the rich and the poor has always existed in Country A, and it is as deep-rooted as a stubborn disease that cannot be changed overnight."

"The new president has only been in office for a month. Give him some time, and I believe things will improve."

Shi Nian chuckled but did not reply.

Decades ago, a major war broke out between various countries.

After the apocalypse, a united zone was established, and the various countries were re-divided.

Country A has the largest wealth gap in the entire United Nations region.

This is because the powerful and politically connected elites in Country A are exploiting the poor.

The new president is nothing but a bunch of scoundrels!

Will it be changed?

Won't!

They'll only want to further exploit the people! They'll want to suck the very marrow from the bones of the poor!

........

A Rolls-Royce then drove out of the villa.

Zhan Xiuchen had a meeting and asked the driver to take Shi Nian to the hospital.

Throughout the journey, Shi Nian's gaze remained fixed on the bustling skyscrapers outside the car window, a sight she had never seen before.

When the words "Jade Garden" came into view, Shi Nian's pupils suddenly contracted.

Jade Garden is one of the most upscale residential communities, even in wealthy neighborhoods.

Shi Nian knew this because her parents and sister lived here.

........

Even in slums, there is a chance to change one's fate.

Even today, when social classes are rigid, there are still people who rise from poverty to wealth.

And Shi Nian's older sister, Shi Yu, is one of them.

Shigure has a pretty face.

She was spotted by a wealthy man and groomed to become a star.

To become a big star, being from a poor background is obviously out of the question.

Shigure has changed its appearance.

Even the parents have a completely new identity.

But Grandpa Shi and Grandma Shi were abandoned.

They spend their whole lives toiling in the fields, never learning to pretend to be rich.

Besides, Grandpa Shi was also unwilling.

"We must not do things that forget our ancestors and traditions," Grandpa said at the time.

"You're destined to be poor your whole life, you won't even take the chance!" Shi Nian still remembers her mother, Lin Xiaoying, saying that fiercely.

And then came the severing of ties.

Shi Yu, who aspires to be a big star, cannot accept having grandparents who are considered country bumpkins.

Meanwhile, Shiyu's parents were eager to give their daughter the life of the wealthy she had always dreamed of.

They all wanted to become strangers with Grandpa Shi and Grandma Shi, never to have any contact with each other again.

Shi Nian, however, chose to stay with her grandparents.

Everyone wants to have a good life.

But one cannot act against one's conscience.

She was never as sweet-talking or eloquent as Shi Yu.

The parents liked Shiyu, but not her.

If it weren't for her grandparents raising and protecting her, she probably would have lost her life long ago.

........

Memories flashed through my mind.

Just like a Rolls-Royce speeding by, it had already passed the Jade Garden.

At the same time, a Ferrari also drove out.

The renowned luxury brand Chanel has released its latest handbag design, and Shi Yu plans to take her mother, Lin Xiaoying, to check it out.

She likes to take her parents to high-end places to enhance their air of sophistication.

Fortunately, her parents had a strong desire for the life of the wealthy and were very quick learners, so you can't tell they were from poor families now.

Shiyu was barely satisfactory.

After the car drove out, Shiyu noticed the license plate number of the Rolls-Royce in front of her.

Her breathing suddenly became heavy.

Huh!

Isn't that the president's private car?
