"In that cannibalistic place, a woman like her, who harbored great wealth, was destined to be bullied and manipulated at will."
Qin Yu remained indifferent, raising his eyes to look at the old man.
"Lanlan's situation wasn't much better at the time!"
Qin Yu looked at them.
"At that time, she had lost both her parents, and her uncle seized the house. Although she was the owner, she was doing the work of a servant..."
"They even married her off without her consent."
"You know this situation, she's a woman with no relatives or support, she can only let others lead her and obey."
"I won't say what role I played in Lanlan's life, but I can guarantee that I will always protect Lanlan."
Qin Yu addressed them earnestly.
Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu with a happy smile in her eyes.
"Let me speak!"
Xia Lan gently hooked Qin Yu's hand and stepped forward to greet the old man and the others with a smile.
“I jumped into the river. If Brother Yu hadn’t pulled me out of that icy water, I probably would have died.”
“I was homeless, but Brother Yu stood up for me and helped me find my mother’s belongings…”
“You haven’t experienced anything like this, you can’t even imagine it. And I have to live in such a place, do you think it’s possible?”
Xia Lan told them the whole story, and then looked at them.
It can be said that without Qin Yu, there would be no Xia Lan today.
"...We were oversimplifying things."
The old man's eyes dimmed. He wanted to give his daughter a better life, so he turned all his assets into gold bars for easy carrying.
"I gave your mother a third of our family fortune. We were forced to move elsewhere because of the war. I wanted to leave a letter for your mother, but I missed the chance..."
The old man sighed softly.
“After we separated, we went to Hong Kong, and with the gold bars I brought with me, I started my business there.”
"This is your uncle, Lou Yuan."
The old man pointed to his son beside him.
“He has no memory of your mother. When we left, your grandmother did not know that she was pregnant with him. By the time we arrived in the port city, he was already born.”
"Hello."
Lou Yuan looked at Xia Lan, trying to find her sister's shadow in her.
"After being reminded for twenty years, I finally found my sister's child."
Lou Yuan's impression of his sister all came from his parents. From a young age, he was told by his ears that his most important goal was to find his sister.
"Hello."
Xia Lan and Lou Yuan shook hands lightly.
"You may be a stranger to me, but I am certainly not a stranger to you."
Lou Yuan looked at Qin Feixue and smiled slowly.
"Um?"
Xia Lan looked at Lou Yuan with a puzzled expression.
"Shenzhen,"
Lou Yuan's lips curled into a smile.
“I have several companies in Shenzhen. Your cooperation with the Chen family is very mysterious. We can’t find any transactions between you.”
He had always been curious about what kind of person Xia Lan was.
Xia Lan is truly remarkable; she can instill fear in the people of Shenzhen at the mere mention of her name.
"There's actually such a relationship?"
Xia Lan looked at Lou Yuan and suddenly felt that he looked familiar.
"You...you wouldn't happen to be that real estate tycoon from Hong Kong..."
Xia Lan looked at Lou Yuan in astonishment.
"So I'm really curious about you, how did you cross over from the apparel industry to real estate?"
Lou Yuan genuinely believes that this property is worth buying.
Several encounters, yet still unsuccessful.
They were only told at the very end.
Everything here is a collaboration between a woman named Xia Lan and others; they had no chance to interfere.
In the end, they could only slink away.
The only one who could make him suffer such a setback was Xia Lan.
"It wasn't you last time..."
Xia Lan thought that the villains in the last competition were Lou Yuan's people.
Lou Yuan shook her head.
"It wasn't me. I didn't go in last time; I was just observing."
"To get involved with you, you'll need to put in a lot of effort, and you'll also need someone to introduce you..."
Lou Yuan investigated and found that Xia Lan was backed by two different mysterious forces that he couldn't get close to.
"I never expected this! The person in question is my own niece."
Lou Yuan greatly admired Xia Lan.
If his sister were still alive, would he have met her?
Xia Lan smiled slightly at Lou Yuan.
This is a businessman.
After having dinner with Grandpa Lou, Xia Lan smiled and got up to leave with Qin Yu.
"Hold on."
Lou Yuan called out to Xia Lan and took out a suitcase.
"This is yours."
Lou Yuan pushed the box in front of Xia Lan, who looked at him in confusion.
“This is the dowry I prepared for your mother. Now that you are her daughter, it is only right that you inherit it.”
"Old Master Lou said earnestly."
I can't make up for my daughter, but at least I have a granddaughter now.
Grandpa Lou looked at Xia Lan and asked her to accept it.
"this……"
Xia Lan was conflicted.
"You don't need to worry about it. This is yours anyway, whether it is or not."
Lou Xiuyu didn't care about any of that and just stuffed the things into Xia Lan's arms.
"What's yours, what's yours, is all yours."
Lou Xiuyu burst into laughter, while Xia Lan was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
Qin Yu rescued Xia Lan and, after opening and examining each item, he saw countless property deeds, as well as... jewelry.
"No matter what, you are still my granddaughter."
"Just to be on the safe side, let's get a paternity test done."
