Lin Yifeng, a gentle and elegant man, grew up with Wu Youyou and the two shared a deep bond.
However, when she was in junior high school, he moved away with his family.
They were never heard from again.
Now, seeing Lin Yifeng appear in front of her, Wu Youyou couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.
"Lin Yifeng, what are you doing here?"
Wu Youyou's voice trembled slightly. This former friend had suddenly reappeared, and she didn't know how to face him.
Lin Yifeng looked at Wu Youyou, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes.
“I heard that something happened to your family, and I was worried about you, so I came to see you.”
Wu Youyou was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice,
"It seems you've been aware of my situation all along. It's been a long time. I'll handle my own affairs. Anyway, thank you. You... you should go back now."
When Wu Youyou saw the books in his arms, she could tell he was a student from Peking University. So many years had passed; if he considered her a friend, he would have been able to contact her.
Looking at Wu Youyou's tired yet determined eyes, Lin Yifeng felt a pang of helplessness.
He knew that he could not change Wu Youyou's decision, nor could he share her burden.
However, he still wanted to help her as much as possible.
"Youyou, I know you're very busy right now, but if you need any help, you can come to me. I will do my best to help you get through this difficult time."
Looking into Lin Yifeng's sincere eyes, Wu Youyou felt a mix of emotions.
"Thank you, I'll be going now."
After Wu Youyou finished speaking, she turned and left.
Wu Youyou recalled that in her previous life, when she was in trouble, she did think about contacting him, but when she found him, he was already a very famous financial consultant.
She hadn't even met him when she was turned away at his company. Stubborn as she was, she left and never thought of him again.
Lin Yifeng knew that his sudden appearance had made Youyou suspicious and angry, but he had no choice in the matter!
After class ended that afternoon, she and Liu Xiaolan had just stepped out of the academy gate when they saw Shi Zhan and Song Shaojie waiting at the entrance.
Wu Youyou looked at Liu Xiaolan in surprise, only to see her chuckle and say,
“Youyou, they insisted on coming with us. I thought about it afterwards, and you were in such a dangerous situation last time. With them protecting you this time, you can rest assured that you can do things without worry, right?”
"Yes, Youyou, with me protecting you, no one can hurt you."
Song Shaojie's confident, roguish demeanor always seemed so funny to Wu Youyou. She turned to look at Shi Zhan and found him looking at her with a slight smile.
"Alright, let's go together then!"
"Very good!"
Liu Xiaolan excitedly grabbed Wu Youyou's arm and walked towards Song Shaojie's car.
The group traveled together and soon arrived at Haishi.
Wu Youyou had already made an appointment with her older brother. Currently, Han Shuzhen is taking care of Song Lan in the hospital, while Wu Maoyan is hosting them in a temporarily rented apartment.
Wu Maoyan also learned about the assassination attempt on his younger sister's way back to the capital, which shocked him greatly. Who could have wanted to kill the Wu family?
"Little sister, who on earth is treating us like this?"
"Brother, these might all be the work of the Kyoto aristocratic families. However, I have my own methods. Currently, our Wu family's business has gone bankrupt, and the villa has been seized by the bank. For now, you can only make do with renting a place to live."
"Little sister, don't worry about these things too much. As long as we're together, even if we're at our lowest point, believe me, we'll have a chance to start over. I'll go find investors again. As long as my project continues, one day we'll all have a chance to make a comeback."
Looking at the clarity in her older brother's eyes, Wu Youyou knew how confident he was in his project. She felt both heartache and relief.
Thinking back to her past life, when her family suffered a tragedy, only her eldest brother remained strong. Unfortunately, his car was tampered with, which led to his death.
If it wasn't murder, with my brother's strength, ensuring the happiness and well-being of the whole family would have been a piece of cake.
Her eyes held a smile.
"Brother, I've come to see you this time because of your project. I want to invest in it."
Wu Maoyan was taken aback, then his gaze dimmed.
"Little sister, you should keep that little bit of money for yourself. I'll figure out how to handle my project."
Without hesitation, Wu Youyou took out a check from her bag and handed it to Wu Maoyan.
Wu Maoyan took it with a puzzled look and was immediately petrified.
"This...this is...ten billion?"
Liu Xiaolan stood up instantly, looking very surprised and wanting to speak, but Song Shaojie pulled her back to her original position and gestured for her to be quiet.
Liu Xiaolan knew she had been rude, but that was 10 billion. How could Youyou have so much money?
Did they engage in some illegal transaction?
She was extremely worried, but after Song Shaojie suppressed her, she saw the calm expressions on his and Shi Zhan's faces and guessed that they must know the inside story.
Now that she knew, it meant that there was no problem with the money Youyou held, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She was truly afraid that Youyou would risk everything to save her family.
Wu Youyou's lips curved into a beautiful smile, her gaze gentle.
"Brother, you can use this money without worry. Don't ask where it came from; it's all from legitimate channels. All you need to do is focus on your project."
