A few days ago, Luo Yun, who was still struggling painfully in her hospital bed, suddenly received an email in her inbox.
“Care to chat?”
It was only a short sentence.
But the attachments were filled with countless images and endless information.
All of it was her mother’s legacy.
And some little… secret savings.
Luo Yun replied to him.
One night at eleven o’clock.
In the originally quiet ward, the door opened. In the dead of night, Luo Yun was like a girl drowning in the deep sea—because of the suffocating pain, she often had trouble sleeping. But at least suffocation eventually leads to death; she could only lie there like a piece of garbage…
However, this person’s arrival brought her an abundance of oxygen.
No… not just oxygen. What she brought was more like a divine artifact that could part the sea and turn it into a road.
…
Mother had long known about some of Father’s philandering, but back then she saw that Luo Yun was still young, so she endured it all.
A mother would do anything for her child.
From the day she discovered it, she secretly began paving a hidden Heavenly Path for Luo Yun.
She couldn’t accept her child suffering grievances or being pushed aside by others.
No one knows which comes first—tomorrow or misfortune.
So the assets that belonged solely to her were all placed with Luo Yun.
If she lived safely her whole life, in the end those would still go to Luo Yun, along with her father’s share.
But Disaster struck too quickly.
Almost without any warning.
“Everything you’ve shown me… is it all true?”
“Miss Luo Yun, I am the manager of your mother’s assets. Entrusted by both Mrs. He and your mother’s instructions, regarding these…”
As she spoke, she took many documents out of her bag.
“Please review the total of these assets. If there are no issues, after you sign, these assets will become your mother’s legacy and belong entirely to you.”
Luo Yun looked at her, and some of the despair in her heart faded.
Her Opportunity had finally arrived.
But she didn’t rush to sign. Instead, she asked why this person had only come now, when she had become like this.
“I am entrusted by your aunt, your mother’s younger sister, to deliver these to you. As for why it had to be now, I have no way of knowing.”
“Mm…”
Luo Yun didn’t look at the huge pile of documents. She just waited for this person to leave. After she left, the one who had sent the documents—her mother’s younger sister, her aunt—would surely want to talk to her about something.
Not long after, the woman left.
Luo Yun suddenly inherited a huge amount of things, some of which she couldn’t even understand.
By two in the morning, the bedside lamp was still on, but she lacked the lamp’s vitality. People always need to sleep.
Just as she was drifting off, Luo Yun suddenly felt her face being caressed.
“!”
Her mind registered it, and she jolted awake.
“Sorry, Xiao Yun, I can only come to you like this. During the day, there are people watching your room.”
“…”
“Cut the small talk. Actually, those things were supposed to be given to you when you grew up. But… the situation now is a bit urgent, so I’m giving them to you early.”
“Are you going to help me…?”
“It’s hard for me to help you. After my sister died, your father’s side has been surveillance very strictly, even we on my side of the family can’t easily come to visit.”
“…”
“Anyway, moving on—you absolutely have to go to college. Managing so many assets requires plenty of knowledge. Otherwise, money is like water in your hands—it slips away quickly.”
“I know… but I… I’m like this, this way… my legs!”
When Luo Yun heard her words, she suddenly lost control of her emotions. She clearly still had so many opportunities in her future, yet now she was trapped in this few-square-meter bed.
To a free bird, this was torture.
“I know, I know. Calm down. Look at this.”
She showed Luo Yun her phone. On it were many headshots.
“These are…”
“The family from mother’s side.”
“…”
“Don’t worry. Your arrangements from now on are all settled. Even if your father tries to stop you—and besides, he has no idea what you possess now that you’re injured.”
“Thank you…”
“Thank your mom instead. Sister was never this good to me.”
“Mom…”
“By the way, in a while we’ll send you abroad to study at a university there, and then…”
“Can I request someone specific to come with me?”
“The people taking care of you are all carefully chosen, given your current condition…”
“She’s also my careful choice.”
“Fine… it’s just one more person to squeeze in.”
…
These days, Luo Yun had been sorting through the legacy she had inherited and the personnel she could deploy.
Even though she was half-paralyzed, she had to leave this place.
But she didn’t know how her father viewed her now. Still, she absolutely had to watch out for the Three Little Thieves around him.
Oh, right, there was one more important thing.
He Rou.
She still didn’t understand anything. Honestly…
Luo Yun didn’t know if it was because she hadn’t seen her for too long, or because of her legs, but there was a fire burning continuously in her belly.
Every time she thought of her, she always remembered her face.
Remembered… the way she cried.
But she had to endure it all.
And He Rou’s role was no longer what it used to be—a vase for her pleasure. She needed to change.
After spending these days in the Reformatory, the old He Rou must have disappeared…
Really, who would have thought that little dog, when pushed to the edge, would actually bite.
Then.
She allocated some energy to planning He Rou’s future.
Looking at the “family from mother’s side” list, the person closest to He Rou was the driver who used to take her to and from school.
Looking at her résumé, she was actually a former agent. People really can’t be judged by appearance.
That made things convenient. For He Rou’s training, she could just leave it to her.
In the end, her judgment didn’t fail her.
She actually got He Rou to learn how to drive in just ten days.
Now it was all up to the driver.
…
August 9th, sunny, air quality excellent, maximum temperature 38°C [100.4°F]—not suitable for going out.
He Rou stood in the villa’s yard. In front of her, Miss Driver had taken out a bunch of things that looked complicated.
Wait…
Was this what she was supposed to study?
“It’s actually very simple to get started. Just follow me.”
“You… are you really a driver?”
“A genuine driver~”
Miss Driver looked at He Rou, who was like a child, and couldn’t help smiling.
Seeing her like this, she definitely wouldn’t mention that she used to be the driver and bodyguard for a certain major country’s president.
But if He Rou found out, would she be scared?
