Chapter 18.1

Luo Shuyan was entirely baffled by Shen Yan’s opinion.

Until this day, Luo Shuyan would’ve never thought of herself as a second-generation rich child.

However, he had a point. She knew that her father was a capable man, however, she looked at him through the eyes of a daughter — Her father was a talented yet average man.

Since he graduated from a good university, as long as he didn’t purposely ruin his future, in this day and age, it was unlikely for him to fail.

He could’ve gone to Shenzhen and Hong Kong with Uncle Song if he wanted to. She heard that university graduates could easily earn around CNY1,000 to 2,000 in Shenzhen. Yet, her father chose to stay in Ning City for her. After all, even in Ning City, her father was truly the cream of the crop.

Nevertheless, she’d never expected her father to be someone who could afford a car and even a bungalow. This was very different from the father she knew.

Wasn’t their family just getting by? Perhaps based on current standards, they could be considered a middle-income family.

How could they suddenly become a wealthy family overnight?

This realization was more acceptable than if she were to think their family was wealthy but to find out that her family was actually poor. No matter what, Luo Shuyan found it difficult to believe.

Shen Yan noticed the shocked expression on Luo Shuyan’s face. He wasn’t sure if she had heard him, but he was just being honest.

He slowly took a seat beside her and passed a banana to her. “If my intuition serves me right, isn’t this a good thing? If they aren’t, we suffer no losses either, don’t we?”

As her neighbor and her childhood friend, he had to be honest with her. However, even if this weren’t true, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

He wasn’t sure why Luo Shuyan was making a huge deal over it.

Luo Shuyan slowly turned towards him and looked at the banana in her hand. She aggressively took a bite of it and said, “It’s all your fault, now I can’t keep a clear head.”

“There’s something else that I need to tell you…” Shen Yan continued.

Luo Shuyan turned around and said, “What do you mean? Don’t tell me… Don’t tell me that you think that I’m not my father’s biological child?!”

“…”

Luo Shuyan had a very interesting expression on her face, and Shen Yan even smiled in return.

“As of now, I don’t think that’s true.” “I’m pretty sure you’re Uncle Luo’s biological daughter, after all, you’re a splitting image of him.”

“…Wow, thank you.”

“Uncle Luo must have his reasons. There’s no reason for you to be angry with him.” Shen Yan embodied the role of an older brother to comfort Luo Shuyan. “We don’t understand what the adults are thinking. It’s a similar situation with my mom. After everything, I’ve come to understand what they meant. They have their own mindset. I’ll just pretend to not know anything.”

Luo Shuyan looked towards Shen Yan with questioning eyes.

Between the both of them, she wasn’t sure who was more like a time traveler.

He was smarter than her, and he could read junior high books at this young age.

He was also more observant than her, he knew everything that was happening around her.

No way, this child… couldn’t possibly be someone who reincarnated with their previous life’s memory too, right?

Great, she was so dumb that she couldn’t even get the signals.

Shen Yan wore a shocked expression on his face. “What’s up?”

Luo Shuyan looked utterly helpless. “Nothing much, I wanted to say something, but don’t ask me what it was, I won’t say anything.”

She wanted to say — Reincarnation or transmigration doesn’t help with IQ after all.

She listened to Shen Yan’s advice. Adults had their own way of thinking. Her father was someone who loved her more than anyone else in the world. Even if he purposely tried to downplay it, he had a reason to do so. That was why she decided to be mature and act as if she didn’t know what he was doing.

Of course, acting dumb was part of the job. She wanted to know if Shen Yan’s assumptions were accurate. This was a crucial factor about whether she would be able to have enough to eat and have beautiful clothes to wear in the future.

He Rong had traveled around the country with his proposals and plans. He met many influential people through connections. On the surface, they expressed their support for him. However, in actuality, none of them were willing to invest in the company. In their opinion, his ideas were unrealistic. Who on earth would be willing to invest in something they’ve never heard of or seen before? He could understand where they were coming from, but he couldn’t help but feel upset.

Despite having found a few friends with similar goals as himself. However, his dreams couldn’t merely stay as dreams through daily chatter, what he needed was money. Till this day, he still couldn’t secure enough seed funding for the company.

Today, thanks to his connections, he was able to have a chat with a powerful CEO. Despite that, having repeated his idea countless times to countless people, at this point, the spark in his eyes was no longer there. He felt dead as he stared at himself in the mirror.

He loosened his neck tie in an attempt to help himself unwind.

His good friend, Ye Wenzhong, patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t give up. My university mate is different from the people you’ve talked to so far. I heard that over the past two years, he’d collaborated with overseas firms, so he is someone who’s seen the world. I’m not just trying to cheer you up, he is genuinely interested in this ‘internet business’ thing that you’ve been talking about. The questions he has asked me were questions only the truly knowledgeable would’ve been able to ask. I wouldn’t have told you to come all the way here for nothing, would I?”
