Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.

"I see that you and Sister Song Zhen seem to have a good relationship on the surface, but you actually stole her boyfriend behind her back. She's going to have her engagement party soon."

Mingzhu appeared in the restaurant at some point, but she must have been watching Wen Yao for quite a while.

Wen Yao didn't want to explain too much to her.

"They're about to cancel the engagement, you must know that, right? Song Zhiqian and I both know. Surely no one has informed you of such big news yet?"

Mingzhu was taken aback.

"What do you mean by annulment? What nonsense are you talking about? Sister Song Zhen and Young Master Lu's relationship is so stable, how could they possibly cancel the engagement at this time?"

Wen Yao shrugged

"How would I know? But—I thought you were on good terms with them, but you didn't even tell me this kind of news. You're not even as good as me."

"you!"

These words seemed to strike a chord with Mingzhu, and she suppressed her anger.

"So what if the engagement is called off? It's impossible for Brother Zhengran to be interested in you. What do you have to compare with Sister Songzhen?"

"So what?"

Under Mingzhu's shocked gaze, Wen Yao walked around her and headed straight for the door.

"You...you're so shameless."

Mingzhu shouted, but Wen Yao had already gone far away.

Just as Wen Yao returned to Hefeng Villa, a Hongqi car was parked in front of the villa.

Wen Yao parked her car behind the other vehicle and got out of the car with a suspicious look on her face.

"Hello, Ms. Wen."

A burly, strong man got out of the driver's seat.

With his prominent chest and sharp jaw, Wen Yao felt that this person looked somewhat familiar.

“Miss Wen, I am Lin Sheng. We have met before.”

Speaking of this name, Wen Yao still had some impression of it; the airship on the roof was the one who introduced her to it.

"Oh, Mr. Lin, is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Sheng is an air force officer, and his position in the military must be quite high. Wen Yao was a little surprised that someone like him would come to her door.

However, she is upright and honest, pays her taxes honestly, does charity work from time to time, and is also highly productive, providing so many jobs in a year.

"I've come to see you this time because there are some things I'd like to understand."

Wen Yao smiled gently.

"Mr. Lin, let's go inside and talk."

"Okay."

Lin Sheng walked behind Wen Yao and followed her inside.

"Ji Chu, prepare a pot of tea."

The two then entered the tea room.

Lin Sheng sat opposite Wen Yao.

"Miss Wen, is this a big house, and you live alone?"

Wen Yao nodded.

"Yes, as you know, I've been an orphan since I was little. Last year, I had a falling out with the Wen family, so I'm living alone now. By the way, Mr. Lin, is there anything you need to see me about today? Is it related to the airship?"

Lin Sheng shook his head.

"No, I heard that Miss Wen recently bought an aircraft carrier?"

Wen Yao remembered that she had run into Jiang Han a few nights ago, and Jiang Han had reminded her that she was too high-profile and would be easily investigated.

"Our department has decided to inquire about Ms. Wen's intentions."

Because Miss Wen, not only did you buy an aircraft carrier and an airship, I remember you also went to Lingyu a while ago to meet with the Star Moon Army, and you also bought the Wujin Desert.

Ms. Wen, if it's convenient for you, please cooperate.

Lin Sheng missed mentioning one thing: Wen Yao's fighter jet. However, Wen Yao's fighter jet was a system reward and had no purchase record. Moreover, Wen Yao never used the fighter jet again afterward, so Lin Sheng didn't know about it.

Wen Yao smiled. It seemed the other party had come prepared, but these questions were not difficult to answer.

“Mr. Lin, I know what you are worried about. First of all, I am definitely a law-abiding young man, and my past experiences are all clean and innocent.”

As for the aircraft carrier, the Vandenabeele has been on the high seas since it was purchased, as you probably already know. I've been kidnapped more than once, and these last two experiences have truly terrified me. That's why I publicly bid for the aircraft carrier. I don't know if I'll ever be able to use it in my lifetime, but it definitely has a deterrent effect. I don't believe anyone will dare to kidnap me again.

As she spoke, Wen Yao's eyebrows furrowed. It was normal for a young girl to be afraid of being kidnapped, and Lin Sheng believed her reason.

"And then there's the airship. You know I have a private resort island. I spent a lot of money to renovate this island, so I might invite friends to come and play from time to time. But it's my private island, and there's no airport on it. Plus, taking a boat is too slow, so buying a private airship would be much more convenient."

As for Lingyu Island, I went there to do business with raw stones. My encounter with the Lingyu Army was completely accidental. I'm sure you already know about how my second aunt framed me back then.

Wen Yao smiled.

Lin Sheng had indeed learned about Wen Yao's family situation before he came, and he also knew about the relationship between the Lu family and Wen Yao.

"Okay, then why did you go to Ubang and buy Ujin, a desert that nobody would want even if you gave it away?"

"I went to Ubang to buy the Ujin Desert."

Lin Sheng tilted his head to look at her.

"Buy Wujin? What use is this land?"

Wen Yao took a sip of tea; after talking so much, her mouth was practically dry.

"I'm not sure either, but I'll take a gamble."

Mr. Lin, we still have the diamonds we brought back from Ubon.

Wen Yao turned around and took a palm-sized box from the shelf behind her. Inside the box, a piece of black velvet cloth held many diamonds.

"Look, all of these are what I brought back during that time. These were all selected and kept. I also brought back several big bags, which I scattered in the backyard to make a pebble path."

Although there's a lot of it, it's very cheap. If it were in China, the price would be thousands of times higher, so I bought the black gold. I've already hired geological exploration experts to explore the black gold; maybe we'll find some unexpected treasures.

Lin Sheng, however, looked doubtful.

"Are you sure you can find diamonds in black gold? If you really could, it wouldn't have been abandoned for so many years."

"Who knows? Anyway, this piece of land is cheap and not worth much. If we actually dig it up, wouldn't we make a profit?"

And what if we strike oil? If we do, I'll definitely supply China first.

It's only right to sell to your own country first; if there are still a lot left, then you can raise the price and sell them to other countries.

“Mr. Lin, I have already answered all your questions.”

Actually, after everyone's investigation, they still trust Wen Yao quite a bit, otherwise they wouldn't have sent Lin Sheng instead.
