In the morning, warm sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains of the French windows, making it feel cozy and comfortable. Luo Xiaoyi opened her beautiful eyes. Wait, where was the man beside her? He had vanished without a trace, as if last night had just been a beautiful dream. The faint scent of lavender he left on the bed proved the reality of yesterday's dream.
She guessed that the house must be related to the man from last night.
During breakfast, Butler Zhao brought over the newspaper. Luo Xiaoyi was extremely surprised when she saw the headline on the front page: "The Fall of a Tycoon Overnight."
Subheading: Mr. Zhou, the CEO of Zhou's Enterprise, is suspected of attempted rape. He was beaten into impotence by the woman's husband after a failed attempt, and subsequently imprisoned. Zhou's Enterprise was also brought down overnight by an unknown force, leaving it heavily indebted and declaring bankruptcy.
There was a photo in the newspaper of Old Zhou being arrested, looking dejected. He seemed to have aged a lot overnight; his hair had turned completely white, and his face was so haggard that it was unbearable to look at. He no longer had his usual arrogant and domineering demeanor.
Luo Xiaoyi watched, feeling truly gratified. This tycoon-born rich man had finally gotten his comeuppance! However, she had a premonition that this wasn't Old Man Zhou's retribution, but rather that someone in the shadows had pulled out a dark hand. Otherwise, why was she arrested by Old Man Zhou yesterday, and why was Old Man Zhou in trouble today?
Could it be that the person who reached out with his sinister hand was the same man who slept in her bed last night? If that were the case, this man was truly terrifying! A chill ran down her spine!
Luo Yiting snatched the newspaper away domineeringly, "You vixen, what are you looking at?"
The housekeeper, Zhao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. What kind of character was she?
Luo Yiting screamed, "Mom, look! How come Old Man Zhou went bankrupt? And he's in jail?"
Luo's mother snatched it and stared at it closely. "What? This happened overnight? My God, this is too terrible! It's unbelievable!" She couldn't help but feel angry. Old Zhou hadn't even given her the money he promised. How could she be so unlucky?
Looking at Luo Xiaoyi eating leisurely, Luo's mother's eyes were already blazing with fury!
It's all because of that brat Luo Xiaoyi! She's tried so hard to sleep with Old Man Zhou, but he hasn't gotten any satisfaction, which is why he hasn't given Luo's mother the money yet. What's with this brat's act of being so high and mighty? Does she think she's destined to be an empress? Luo's mother's million has just gone down the drain, and she's furious!
But Luo's mother couldn't say it outright, so she started picking a fight. She stared at her with cold, venomous eyes, her tone harsh and icy, "Luo Xiaoyi, didn't you say you were going to pay back your father's money? Are you just making excuses? Are you deliberately playing tricks on your father?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand to slap Luo Xiaoyi across the face, but luckily, Butler Zhao reacted quickly and grabbed Luo's mother's hand. The butler's icy voice reached Luo's mother's ears, "Zhang Yan, be normal! Don't cause trouble here. If you break the master's things, you won't be able to afford to pay for them!"
With that, Butler Zhao angrily flung her hand away. He couldn't understand how there could be such a family.
After a moment, Luo's mother calmed down, for she was naturally afraid of angering her master and leaving them homeless.
Luo's father glared at her with a domineering expression. "Are you really playing me? Huh?" The tone of his "huh" was so eerie and chilling that Luo Xiaoyi could tell her father was about to hit her.
She quickly explained, "No, I'll get it for you right now."
Luo Xiaoyi took out a stack of money, a total of 20,000 yuan, which she had saved by scrimping and saving to buy medicine online. She handed it to her father, "Dad, I was supposed to receive a small sum of money tomorrow, and I was thinking of giving it to you together with it. But since you need it urgently, you can take it first."
Mr. Luo's face grew even colder. He glanced at her sideways and said, "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? This little bit of money isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap. Are you deliberately trying to get me beaten to death by the creditors?"
Luo's mother wore a disdainful and mocking expression. "Luo Xiaoyi, I think you're deliberately trying to harm your father, aren't you?"
