Chapter 93 The Madman of the Rich and Powerful Criticizes the Fake Heiress 37
All paths seemed to be blocked. His gaze finally fell on Ye Canxing. If this path was gone, what path could he take?
"Now the only person we can count on in the family is you. Since the Qin family is gone, breaking off the engagement may not be a bad thing."
Canxing, my dear daughter, don't you want to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry? Go for it, Dad supports you.
"Do a good job."
Now that he's putting on a benevolent father act again, he needs to figure out his escape route and liquidate any remaining valuable assets he has.
Ye Canxing's looks, coupled with her status as the daughter of the Ye family, might be able to bring some resources to her family. Before the Ye family went bankrupt, the title of Ye family's daughter still held some value.
The Qin family has gone bankrupt, so how far behind can the Ye family be? He has to maximize Ye Canxing's value before his own family declares bankruptcy.
Ye Canxing was stunned for a moment, not expecting Ye Zhenghong to suddenly change his attitude, but thinking about being able to stand in the spotlight, enjoy the adoration of the crowd, and make money, she immediately nodded.
Meanwhile, inside Platinum Bay One.
Shen Jixue watched the news video about the Qin family's bankruptcy and exclaimed in exaggerated surprise.
"Mom, you are really amazing."
Shen Ci looked at her and asked softly.
"Wouldn't it hurt to see someone you used to like become like this?"
Which young boy doesn't dream of love, which young girl doesn't fall in love? The people you like during your adolescence are the hardest to forget. Don't leave any bad memories in your child's heart. After all, Qin Tian was someone Ji Xue had been pursuing for more than ten years.
Shen Jixue shook her head decisively, her eyes clear and calm, without any ripples.
Not at all.
I've thought about it carefully. The reason I used to chase after him wasn't because I liked him that much.
It's because there's no other light in my life, no other thing to look forward to.
Chasing after him felt like the only thing I could grasp, like a drowning person desperately trying to grab onto a piece of driftwood, regardless of whether it was rotten.
She looked up at the expansive view outside the window, her tone becoming light and cheerful. Outside the window was her and her mother's home.
"But things are different now."
Mom, you showed me a wider and more interesting world.
I've discovered there are so many interesting things in the world; before, I was like a frog in a well.
She suddenly turned her head, her eyes filled with a pleading look.
"Mom, after you've finished dealing with the Ye and Qin companies, could you hand them over to me for a try?"
I want to learn management. I've realized I don't know anything about it, so it's understandable that people dislike me. Nobody likes a useless person, and I can't keep relying on you forever.
Shen Ci smiled with relief, patted her head, and said, "The child has grown up and discovered the beauty of the world."
"Of course you can. Even if you want to be a good-for-nothing, Mom won't mind. You're still Mom's pride, and Mom can support you for the rest of your life."
Your existence, and your choice to be my child, is the proudest and luckiest thing for me. Thank you for choosing to be my daughter.
However, before managing the company, have you ever thought about what you truly enjoy doing? What are your dreams?
"dream?"
Shen Jixue was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion. She had never thought about this question before. For the past eighteen years, her life goals seemed to have been to please the Ye family and to pursue Qin Tian, this illusory lover.
A real dream? She had never thought about it.
"It's okay, take your time to think about it."
Shen Ci's voice was gentle yet powerful, always calming Shen Jixue's restless and uneasy heart.
"The sky is high enough for birds to fly freely, and the sea is wide enough for fish to leap freely."
You are young, and anything is possible, whether you want to be an entrepreneur, an artist, or travel the world, whatever you want to do.
"Whatever you want to do, Mom will support you."
She can create a world for her daughter, allowing her to experience any possibility in this world. Isn't the point of coming into this world to experience it?
Shen Jixue looked at Shen Ci, her body feeling as warm as if she were soaking in hot water. The love she felt after reuniting with her mother was something she had never felt before. It turned out that whether someone was loved or not was really obvious.
She used to be able to comfort herself by thinking that her parents' love was just not obvious, but now she realizes that true love cannot be hidden.
After acquiring the two companies, Shen Ci did not do nothing; instead, he did his best to reshuffle the company and extract the most valuable things, such as people, data, and intelligence.
Since her daughter wanted to find something to do, and these two companies were too dirty, she didn't want her daughter to get her hands dirty. The funds withdrawn from these two companies would be used as start-up capital for her daughter's business, and as compensation from the Qin and Ye families to Shen Jixue.
After thinking about it all night, Shen Jixue finally gave her an answer the next day.
"Mom, I've thought about it for a long time and I've figured it out."
I want to be a dazzling person.
She paused, seemingly a little embarrassed. She had never been asked about her dreams before. Whenever she enthusiastically showed Lin Meijuan what she wanted to do, Lin Meijuan would always put her down, saying that she had no talent.
"My past life was too bleak, like it was covered with a layer of dust that couldn't be wiped off."
But Mom, you're different. Just standing there, you're radiating light.
I want to be like you—confident, strong, and in control of my own life.
Honestly, she admired her mother's composure and strength, as well as her gentle yet powerful nature.
Shen Ci's smile grew increasingly gentle as she took Shen Jixue's hand.
There are many ways to be dazzling.
For example, becoming a big star? Standing under the spotlight and being loved by millions of people, that is indeed dazzling.
If you're willing, Mom will use all her resources to support you and ensure you're not harmed in that circle. Of course, we also shouldn't hurt others without reason.
"A big star..."
A longing flashed in Shen Jixue's eyes. She could imagine how dazzling it would be to stand on the stage and receive the lights and applause, and how many people would see her. Even Ye Canxing became a star. But the longing in her eyes vanished in an instant.
"Me? I can't do it."
With so many people watching, I was scared.
She was indeed reckless and impulsive, but deeper down, there was fear.
Butler Liu, who had been quietly standing by, offered a timely and gentle explanation.
"Madam, Miss is still somewhat reluctant to interact with people."
Her past experiences made her feel that outsiders would treat her the same way the Ye family did. In school, she was often isolated and targeted by her classmates.
"It's not Miss's fault, those people are just blind," Butler Liu added.
People who like you will unconditionally favor you.
Over time, being bad at socializing, or even afraid of interacting with people, becomes a habit and a way to protect oneself.
In unfamiliar situations, she unconsciously raises her quills, just to keep others away and avoid getting hurt, like a hedgehog raising its quills when in danger, blocking enemies as well as friends.
