He has been found!

Lius mother hurriedly asked, So, are we safe now? Can they let us go?

Liu Si Yu glanced at her mother, then around at the people who were looking in their direction, and replied with a smirk, Mom, they can leave, but we dont need to.

What?

Why cant we leave? We have nothing to do with Zhao Yu Lius mother exclaimed.

Hearing this, the others sighed with relief.

Its over

We can leave now

Liu Si Yu answered with a hint of pride, Who said we have nothing to do with Zhao Yu?

You silly girl, what are you talking about Lius mother became anxious, covering her mouth, We really have nothing to do with Zhao Yu

Liu Si Yu understood that their minds were still stuck on the moment they were captured.

She gently pulled her mothers hand away and explained, Mom, what do you think they wanted Zhao Yu for?

I dont care. I just want to go home A man stepped forward scolded Si Yu, Im not trying to blame you, but at a time like this, why are you drawing attention to yourself? Hurry up and clarify with the Su family that we have nothing to do with Zhao Yu

Others family was thankful it wasnt their families involved.

Uncle, youve all misunderstood.

The Su family didnt seek Zhao Yu because he committed a crime Liu Si Yu laughed and explained.

What did you say?

Everyone was looking confused.

Liu Si Yu said proudly, Zhao Yu possesses a very advanced technology. The Su family approached him for collaboration

Collaboration?!

Was collaboration a reason to have them all captured?

What kind of technology? Her uncle asked with confusion.

Confidential! Liu Si Yu had been warned by the Butler of the Su family not to speak carelessly.

She replied with a mysterious smile, Its a high-end technology that can yield tens of billions in profits

What?!

Everyone was astonished, staring at Liu Si Yu in disbelief.

With their reaction, Liu Si Yu felt proud on behalf of Zhao Yu.

She held her head high, addressing the crowd proudly.

It is their family time to s.h.i.+ne now.

Just now, the Su family and Zhao Yu reached an agreement

The Su family is investing ten billion in Zhao Yus venture and has also provided him with a mansion, along with various a.s.sistants

Ten billion!

The entire room went silent, with everyone fixated on the ma.s.sive amount.

A representative from the Su family approached.

On behalf of the Su family, I would like to apologize to everyone

The other family heads present stepped forward, insisting that they bore no grudges and that a.s.sisting the Su family was their duty.

Given the reality of the world, they didnt dare accept the Su familys apology. Instead, they were thankful for being treated respectfully due to Zhao Yus influence.

The representative from the Su family continued, Everyone here is connected to Zhao Yu. Please proceed to the Zhao Estate

Zhao Yu has a mansion?!

Everyone was shocked. Could it be that what Liu Si Yu said about Zhao Yus collaboration with the Su family was true?!

Liu Si Yu was also surprised and quickly asked, Hasnt the Zhao mansion not been built yet?!

We have a piece of land right next to the Su family. After it was constructed, it was intended for the grown-up members of the family to use independently. After discussions with Master Zhao, he can use it directly now.

Such a good deal?!

The crowd exchanged glances, unable to imagine what technology Zhao Yu mastered to earn such treatment from the Su family.

Under the butlers leaders.h.i.+p, everyone walked towards Zhaos Estate.

This time, everyone felt much more relaxed and even took the time to admire the scenery of the Su mansion.

My goodness, look at that flower. Its so beautiful

They have dedicated personnel for maintenance

Do you see that young lady over there? She seems so sophisticated. Could she be a dignitary of the Su family?

No, shes just a gardener.

Wow, even the gardeners in the Su family are treated so well?!

The group felt like they had entered a grand garden, marvelling at everything they saw.

The butler led the way, showing them around.

After almost half an hour, they arrived at Zhao Mansion.

As the butler had mentioned, it was very close to the Su mansion. Although smaller in comparison, it was still ma.s.sive.

All this for Zhao Yu?!

Lius mother asked in astonishment.

Of course, its all Master Zhaos.

Liu Si Yu proudly said, This is just his residence. He has several other properties waiting to be handed over to him.

Liu Si Yus second uncle was full of praise.

Liu Si Yu reminded him of his previous wish to distance from Zhao Yu.

He laughed it off, saying he hadnt known Zhao Yus capabilities.

Hehe, 1 just wasnt aware of the situation and didnt know about our son-in-laws capabilities

Many of the people present had never seen Zhao Yu before.

However, at this moment, they all began to flatter him obsequiously.

The Liu family members walked with pride and high spirits, but the members of the other few families seemed somewhat subdued.

Bing Bing, do you want to clarify to our cousin that you and that Zhao Yu dont have any sort of relations.h.i.+p?

Qiao Bing Bing felt helpless. In a short span of time, numerous relatives had approached her with questions, making her feel overwhelmed.

I indeed wanted to have a relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Yu and even confessed my feelings to him, but he wasnt interested

Upon hearing this, someone from the Qiao family immediately jumped in, Hasnt Zhao Yu not married yet? Bing Bing, theres still a chance, you must seize it!

Shush Dont let them hear! Someone hurriedly motioned for everyone to lower their voices, pointing at the Liu family members who were up ahead.

Qiao Bing Bing was exasperated. She never imagined her family could be so mercenary.

Xia Lans relatives incessantly questioned her too. Xia Lan was on the verge of a breakdown.

She genuinely had no relation with Zhao Yu.

However, for Song Han and Zhou Miao, with fewer relatives around, n.o.body inquired about their relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Yu.

Compared to the other three families, Zhou Miaos relatives, at a glance, looked like simple farmers. They all wore plain clothes and walked behind Song Han and her daughter.

They didnt dare harbour any undue thoughts and just wished to leave as soon as possible. Being in such a lavish place made them feel out of place and uncomfortable.

Song Hans mother seemed to be on the verge of speaking.

Mom, is there something you want to say?

Mother Song hesitated for a moment and said, The family where 1 work as a nanny, their child is already in college. The lady of the house has been hinting several times that they might not want to employ me any longer

Song Han was recalling memories from her childhood.

When she graduated from middle school, she was accepted into the best high school in the city based on her excellent grades.

That time, her mother had promised that after cleaning the employers house, she would treat her to fried foods.

With joy, she accompanied her mother.

She was proud and wis.h.i.+ng everyone knew she was admitted to a prestigious high school.

However, during the visit to her employers house, her dreams were shattered.

Son, I donated a football field to your school. Now that youre in this famous high school, make sure to study hard and dont rank last anymore

Dad, 1 promise you; Ill study hard. Can I get a reward this vacation?

Alright, lets set off tomorrow for an overseas trip

That was the day, she realized that the gap between individuals was inherent.

Her hard-earned achievements could easily be overshadowed by someones simple act of donating a football field.

While she had to a.s.sist her mother in cleaning to earn a fried snack, they could afford international vacations.

That very moment, Song Han resolved to strive and become wealthy in her lifetime.

Throughout the three years of high school, she studied her subjects and also learned ways to earn money.

Yet, after the college entrance examination, she realized striving for wealth was an illusion.

If hard work guaranteed wealth, then sanitation workers or construction laborers would be the wealthiest.

The world seemed like a well-designed game.

The top 1%, enjoying the experiences at the expense of the rest 99%.

If everyone were at the top, the game would lose its allure.

At that moment, she gave up.

She understood that no matter how hard she tried, even if she spent her entire youth or decades trying to catch up, shed only be at the starting line of the lower-tier wealthy family.

By then, in her forties or fifties, would brand bags, makeup, dolls, or her own pink room still matter?

Why could others live like princesses in mansions at twenty, while she had to help her mother clean and wash dishes in someone elses house?

She harboured resentment, felt hatred, but eventually, she accepted her fate.

This is her fate.

Struggling for thirty years to achieve what she desired at twenty wasnt worth it. She sought shortcuts.

Her only shortcut was her beauty, potentially letting her earn from men.

However, she knew chast.i.ty was crucial for women in this society. A single decision could save her a decade of toil.

Sadly, most saw her as worthless, and she hadnt met anyone willing to spend a significant amount for her.

No, there was one

Song Han recalled Zhao Yus words, asking her to wait until he had some spare money, and then hed purchase a year with her.

Her eyes began to sparkle as she gazed at the exquisite gardens in the estate. It felt as if her dreams were about to come true.

Zhao Yu, I hope you havent forgotten me.
