Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhou Lei was Song Hua’s foster mother. She was the one who brought Song Hua back from the orphanage and she was also the one who spent a lot of effort to raise Song Hua.

But now, not only did Song Hua not repay the kindness, she treated her like an enemy instead.

“A bastard was a bastard. No matter how well she treated her, she would not grow up well.” Zhou Lei thought.

She was very angry now.

“Forget it, don’t argue with sister.” Song Baoyi sighed. “Besides, I’m also at fault in this matter.”

“You didn’t do anything wrong! This is all that little bastard’s fault!” Zhou Lei looked at Song Baoyi. “Baoyi, don’t blame yourself over that little bastard! She’s nothing compared to you!”

Zhou Lei’s greatest relief now was that she had an outstanding daughter like Song Baoyi.

If she only had Song hua as her adopted daughter, she would have nothing to look forward to in her life!

Upstairs.

Song Hua sat in front of her desk with the table lamp on. The phone she had just bought during the day was now in pieces. All kinds of parts were piled up together, and even professionals would frown when they saw them.

Some of these parts were originally from the phone, and some were bought from the old goods market in the afternoon.

After buying the mobile phone, she did not have much left, so she could only go to the old goods market. Fortunately, she could also find good things in the old goods market.

Song Hua lowered her eyebrows slightly and looked serious. She slowly pieced the various parts together. Under the light of the table lamp, her white fingers were now even fairer. They were as delicate as jade, so beautiful that anyone would sigh upon seeing them.

Not long after, the scattered parts were pieced together to form a complete phone.

Song Hua pressed the start button.

Ding-

The phone was turned on.

The modified phone looked no different from a normal phone. However, after using it, one would find that the modified phone’s speed was more than ten times faster than a normal phone.

Song Hua downloaded a finance application from the App Store. After opening it, she registered a new account.

It was a very simple account name.

SH.

Then, Song Hua put the remaining 20 dollars in her card into an unremarkable-looking fund.

At this moment, a piece of news popped up on the page.

Song Hua clicked on it and was attracted by the banner hanging on the front page of the news.

“Mysterious Financial Magnate Miss Song Died Unexpectedly”

After clicking on it, there was a brief introduction about Miss Song.

Miss Song.

Name unknown, identity unknown, birth address unknown, age 24.

Eight years ago, Miss Song made a name for herself in the financial world, giving Hucon a firm foothold in the international financial world.

On May 26th, Miss Song died in a plane crash. That day, her flight crashed into the sea. Everyone on the flight, including the captain and the flight attendant, died resulting in a total of 56 bodies.

There was a sentence in the eulogy:

“She subverted an era and created a miracle that can not be replicated. This is the belief of our generation!”

There were already more than a million comments below.

“I still can’t believe this is the truth. Miss Song has always been a god-like existence in my heart. I hope that the media will come out to refute the rumors soon!”

“I’m still looking forward to seeing Miss Song’s true face. I will never forget what happened eight years ago. If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t be where we are now.”

Another trending comment was directly copied and pasted into the comments section.

“She might be dead, but her belief lives on!”

“She might be dead, but her belief lives on!”

“She might be dead, but her belief lives on!”

“…”

Song Hua flipped through the next piece of news with an indifferent expression.

The next piece of news was still about Miss Song.

Although almost half a month had passed, the popularity of the news had not decreased. From this, one could see Miss Song’s influence in Hucon.

…

At the Yu family mansion.

The lights in the room were a little dim.

The air was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

A man sat on a small rosewood chair with his legs crossed. Between his fingers was a cigarette that was about to burn out. The computer in front of the table was lit, and the light on the screen coated the man’s face with a faint halo.

If there was anyone beside him, they would definitely have noticed that the computer’s web page was currently on the news comments page.

“She might be dead, but her belief lives on!”

There were already more than a million comments. As far as he could see, they were all the same.

At this moment, a cell phone ringtone suddenly cut through the originally quiet room.

The man calmly pressed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and then picked up the phone.

“Hello.”

Although the voice was very low, one could still hear the chill in it.

At this moment, he was shrouded in darkness, and his entire body was exuding the aura of a high-level person. There was no trace of the piece of trash that everyone called him at all.

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded young and energetic. “Tingzhi, I’ve checked the vicinity of several seas, but I haven’t found any clues.”

“Keep looking.”

The voice was very low, and nobody could tell how he was feeling.

The person on the other end seemed to want to say something, but after a while, he said, “Okay.”

It had already been half a month since the accident.

The sea area around the accident was very volatile, and the undercurrents were turbulent. It was extremely dangerous, so how could they find any clues now?

Just as Yu Tingzhi hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock, knock-

Yu Tingzhi turned off the computer and picked up the unfinished wine.

“Come in.”

Soon, the door was pushed open.

Fang Minghui walked in from outside. The moment she opened the door, she saw Yu Tingzhi lying on the chair drinking wine. The smell of alcohol in the air made her dizzy.

“Tingzhi, why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

As she said this, Fang Minghui reached out and turned on the lights.

Click.

A dazzling white light lit up in the air.

Yu Tingzhi, who was lying on the sofa, subconsciously reached out to cover his forehead.

“Tingzhi.”

Looking at her youngest son who was drunk all day, Fang Minghui’s face was full of helplessness and heartache. “I made some hangover soup for you, have some.”

As Fang Minghui spoke, she helped Yu Tingzhi to sit on the sofa.

Yu Tingzhi took the hangover soup and took a sip.

Exhaustion could be seen between his eyebrows.

Fang Minghui continued, “Tingzhi, you’re going to be engaged soon. You can’t let your temper get the better of you in the future. The young lady of the Song family is not an ordinary lady. You should try your best to abstain from drinking!”

Song Baoyi wasn’t just a young lady from a prestigious family. She was also the most famous and talented lady in River City. Her future was immeasurable. If Yu Tingzhi didn’t make any changes, how could he be on par with Song Baoyi?

After all, Yu Tingzhi was also known as a prodigy. Fang Minghui believed in him. As long as he was willing to make changes, he would definitely be able to match up to Song Baoyi.

Saying this, she paused and took out a black card, “There’s some money in there that I’ve saved for you. After getting engaged to Ms. Song, you would have to spend a lot of money. If you’re short of money, just let me know. I’m your mother and no matter how old you are, you’re still my child. You don’t have to feel embarrassed at all.”

Now that she had given Yu Tingzhi a little more money, he wouldn’t need to reach out to her to ask for it.

After all, he was going to get engaged. If Song Baoyi found out that Yu Tingzhi was reaching out and asking his family for money, it wouldn’t be good.

“Mom, I don’t need money.” Yu Tingzhi pushed the black card back to Mrs. Yu.

Fang Minghui knew that Yu Tingzhi was trying to be brave.

He had no achievements. All he did was drink and play games so how could he not need money?

“I know you’re not short of money, but this is a token of my appreciation. Just take it!” Mrs. Yu placed the black card into Yu Tingzhi’s hand.

“I’m really not short of money.”

Fang Minghui looked up at Yu Tingzhi with a complicated expression.

She was guessing in her heart that it was possible that her father-in-law had secretly given Yu Tingzhi money.

Mr. Yu had always been generous with his money after all.

Since that was the case, Fang Minghui did not insist. It would be bad if ended up hurting Yu Tingzhi’s pride. She continued, “I’ve already prepared for the engagement so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Yu Tingzhi pursed his lips and kept silent.

Fang Minghui knew what Yu Tingzhi was worried about. She smiled and said, “Tingzhi, don’t worry. The young lady from the Song family is not a shallow person. You two have been engaged since you were young so she definitely won’t dislike you.”

Mrs. Yu had met Song Baoyi once.

She was truly a smart and sensible person.
