The bottom line is, Tian Jing and Lu Tian weren't important enough to warrant giving up some of their own interests. On the other hand, if she hadn't deliberately pursued it, Tian Jing wouldn't have cared that much about the Gu family's affection. If she didn't get it when she needed it most, then making up for it would just be icing on the cake.
Tian Jing's gaze gradually changed. She no longer saw Lu Tian as an ignorant girl, but as a calm and rational adult. She was puzzled and asked, "How did you come up with these ideas?"
Lu Tian remained calm, "I've been trying to make money lately, so I've been catching up on the grudges and feuds of several major families, and I've also watched a lot of business war TV dramas, so I've learned a little bit."
"But, I just can't bear to be dismissed like this. I'm obviously the biological child, why should I feel so aggrieved..."
"That's right, so you can build some emotional connection with them. With the blood relationship and their compensatory mentality, your treatment won't be worse than Gu Yalan's, right?" But Tian Jing was born to be determined rather than bend. If they confronted the Gu family head-on, they would be at a disadvantage, and Tian Jing wouldn't want to be sympathized with, right?
Tian Jing remained silent.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm talking about the worst-case scenario. You're a respectable young lady from the Gu family. Even if you and Gu Yalan get into a fight, it's perfectly legitimate. Don't worry about her." Lu Tian didn't want Tian Jing to dwell on it too deeply and feel too sad. Besides, so much had changed, and no one could predict the future. She could stay out of it because she wasn't the real Lu Tian. She had never expected affection from the Gu family. She just wanted to be on equal terms, each taking what they needed.
"Why should I quarrel with her? It's not worth it!" Tian Jing said this. She suddenly thought that if the Lu family came to recognize Lu Tian, how would Lu Tian deal with it? In an instant, she began to feel distressed and afraid, afraid that Lu Tian would know the truth and blame her for leaving the Lu family with her.
"Lu Tian, let me ask you something."
Lu Tian was looking for yogurt in the car refrigerator. He responded absentmindedly, waiting for Tian Jing to ask.
"What if your dad comes looking for you?"
"Him? Wasn't he already dead?" Lu Tian said lightly. This was the original owner's usual story. Although Tian Jing recounted the truth after she turned fifteen, saying she and her father had only parted ways amicably, the original owner's resentment only deepened after learning about it. Deep down, she even resented Tian Jing for not giving her a complete family.
Tian Jing couldn't help rubbing her temples, feeling a severe headache: "Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Tian found the yogurt and drank it without hesitation, feeling very happy.
The properties and shops given by the Gu family were to be transferred to Lu Tian and Tian Jing respectively, while the money given by the Yu family was to be transferred to their personal accounts. Lu Tian asked, half-believingly, "Mom, are you sure you're giving all this to me?"
"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want. I will take some time to sort out the accounts next time, and the dividends and shares that belong to you will be transferred to your name. After all, you studied finance, so learn how to manage your finances and don't get cheated by others." Tian Jing said with ease.
Lu Tian continued without any psychological burden. After thinking carefully, she understood Tian Jing's intention. She wanted to broaden her horizons in advance so that if she met the Lu family again one day, she would not be confused by money, go astray, and be looked down upon by others.
In the original novel, the original owner caused so many things to happen all at once. The main reason was her personality, or the character created by the author. She was just a villain, used only to advance the plot. But when she became the original owner, every move would change the plot and cause a butterfly effect. Maybe she would add fuel to the flames and accelerate the development of the plot, or maybe she would break away from the plot and live her own way.
The opportunity to live again is not easy to come by, so Lu Tian is unwilling to be led by the nose by others. That feeling is really too terrible.
The happy weekend ended, and Lu Tian, who returned to school, was no longer the same as before. She sat in front of the computer all day long, looking at stocks or checking investment projects, and was almost crazy.
Her roommates were all very worried about her: "Lu Tian, you have to be more rational and don't invest all your money."
They were also afraid that Lu Tian would get involved in some unreliable loans or be scammed.
Lu Tian felt warm in her heart and raised her hand to assure him, "Don't worry, I'm using my pocket money. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"You make money?" Helian Chen asked in surprise.
"No, my grandpa gave me a lot of pocket money when he was happy. Let's go have a nice meal, shall we?"
Everyone believed it then, but when it came to choosing a place to eat, they were still hesitant and didn't want to spend too much money on her. Lu Tian was very happy that her kindness was appreciated, and she waved her hand and invited them to a luxurious seafood buffet.
"I will be unhappy if you hesitate any longer!" Lu Tian issued an ultimatum and took his roommates into the elevator and headed straight for the seafood buffet.
Peng Yangyang pushed up her glasses that were sliding down her nose and said calmly, "Since Lu Tian said so, we can just eat without worry and make up for it on her birthday."
Jiang Feifei and Helian Chen finally felt relieved. A seafood buffet could cost them half a month's living expenses. They were really worried, but after they started eating, they forgot about anything else.
Autumn is a good season for eating crabs. Lu Tian likes crabs, so she concentrated on eating crabs at her seat. But Jiang Feifei came back with the food and said that she saw Yu Ningxuan having dinner with a man, also in this restaurant.
"Is she in love again? That person is not Han Yifan."
Lu Tian checked the map on her phone. There was a five-star hotel nearby. Their couples' suites were famously romantic and expensive, and it was right next to the restaurant. It looked like the two were having a passionate affair, even having sex. The novel briefly mentioned them having dinner nearby, and a boy spilled juice all over them in the buffet restaurant. They had another chance to change clothes in their room. I wonder how Yu Ningxuan felt when she saw her nibbling on her idol, Meng Jingdong, at the banquet.
