Soon, Helan selected a store manager from the store.

This person is considered a long-time employee of the store; they've been working there since last year.

During Helan's studies, the money would automatically go into Helan's account, and at the end of each month, Helan would pay them their wages.

Wen Yao brought He Lan's information to Xie Huai.

Xie Huai looked at He Lan's information and seemed quite satisfied.

"Can this person be trusted?"

"Come on, he's my college classmate, of course I can trust him."

Upon hearing Wen Yao's words, Xie Huai began processing the paperwork for the two to study abroad.

At this time, Xie Ling was also ready to leave the Dragon Kingdom.

"Wen Yao, thank you for taking me in all this time. I plan to leave once my brother has settled everything."

Although Xie Ling was still a little scared, she had already made up her mind. This was the first time she had ever gone so far from home to study.

“I’ve already told my brother that I’m going to study screenwriting.”

Wen Yao, when I finish writing my script, you must invest in it for me.

Wen Yao smiled.

“Okay, as long as you write a novel, I will definitely invest in you.”

Since Xie Ling chose a major she liked, she felt much better and was more willing to study abroad.

After completing these procedures, Xie Huai returned to Lingyu.

Xie Geng was somewhat surprised to see him one morning.

"Why did you come back alone? Where is Xie Ling? Her wedding is scheduled for next month. Did you tell her about it?"

Xie Geng thought Xie Ling had returned.

"Xie Ling doesn't want to come back."

Xie Geng paused, frowning as he looked at Xie Huai.

"Unwilling? Then where does she live now? Don't think you can threaten me by running away from home."

Tell her to come back within 24 hours, or I'll cancel her bank accounts and confiscate all the mines under her name!

While family ties were still strong, those things were all given to Xie Ling.

However, if Xie Ling makes a choice that Xie Geng doesn't want to see, he can quickly take back all of these things.

"Dad, Xie Ling doesn't want to."

Xie Geng glanced at Xie Huai, his sharp gaze fixed on him until Xie Huai lowered his head.

"You helped her? You actually dared to help her? Do you even know about the fiancé I found for her...?"

Before Xie Geng could finish speaking, Xie Huai interrupted him.

"Dad, but Xie Ling doesn't want to. Please don't force her anymore. You can arrange things for me however you like, but Xie Ling has been pampered since she was a child. How can you push her into a fire pit after she has come of age?"

After hearing this, Xie Geng did not reflect on his actions. Instead, he shoved all the documents on his desk onto the floor.

"Nonsense! Where did you learn all this?! Who do you think benefits the most after Xie Ling gets married? It's you!"

Do you think I can stay in the chairman's position for a few more years? By then, all of this will be yours!

And Xie Ling, I raised her for eighteen years, and she just ran away like that?! I fed her with all my might, I did right by her! I just let her marry someone, someone I carefully chose. Which daughter on Lingyu Island doesn't do the same thing?

Compared to the other fathers in the entire Lingyu family, Xie Geng was indeed quite good to Xie Ling.

"Dad, I just want Xie Ling to be happy in the future."

Xie Geng glanced at him coldly and said nothing more.

A few days later, news of Xie Ling's elopement spread throughout Lingyu.

Many reporters interviewed Xie Geng, and Xie Gang stated in front of the media that he would sever his father-daughter relationship with Xie Ling.

In Lingyu, women generally have a low social status, and eloping is something that cannot be forgiven by the public.

Therefore, Xie Ling's name was printed in the very center of the newspaper, and people all over the country were hurling insults at this girl.

Upon learning the news, Xie Huai could only tell Xie Ling not to return to Lingyu.

After seeing Xie Ling off, Xie Huai also signed a contract with Wen Yao.

Xie Huai then provided Wen Yao with five more mines.

Originally, Xie Geng had taken back the mine that he had previously cooperated with Xie Ling on, but because Wen Yao's business was quite large and included the arms industry, Xie Geng did not terminate his cooperation with Wen Yao.

Since Xie Ling left, there has only been one guest at Hefeng Villa.

Yang Jie's lawsuit is finally over, and unsurprisingly, custody of Ye Qianqian is in Yang Jie's hands.

That day, when Sister Yang went to pick up Ye Qianqian, she had a whole van full of new LV products delivered to Wen Yao's house.

"Wen Yao, the lawsuit is over. From now on, Qianqian will live with me in Haicheng."

Thank you for your help to Qianqian during this time.

Sister Yang held Ye Qianqian's little hand, and from now on, the mother and daughter would never be separated.

"Sister Yang, no need to thank me. Helping a mother is what I should do."

It took several trips by LV staff to put all the clothes and bags into Wen Yao's walk-in closet.

"I can't thank you enough. This is just a small part of it. If you need anything from me in your future work, please don't hesitate to ask."

Wen Yao smiled and nodded.

"Okay, definitely."

Afterwards, Sister Yang took Ye Qianqian into the car and left Hefeng Villa.

“Miss, their lawsuit is finally over. When Ye Qianqian’s father barged into our house before, I was really worried that he would get custody of Qianqian.”

Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sister Yang had obtained custody.

"Don't worry, the law won't allow that kind of scum to raise children."

After watching Sister Yang and the others leave, Tang Zhen and Wen Yao turned around and walked into the villa.

Previously, in order to keep Ye Qianqian from getting bored, Tang Zhen would often leave work early to go home and play with Ye Qianqian. Only after Ye Qianqian left did things return to normal.

Two days later, on a Saturday morning, Tang Zhen and Wen Yao sat on the sofa and ate breakfast together.

"Tang Zhen, are you going to the company today?"

"Even though it's Saturday, I'll still go later. The company is still in its growth phase."

Just as she was speaking, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Ji Chu walked to the door and opened it alone.

"Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu?"

"We've come to see Yao Yao today."

After hearing Chen Shuhua's voice, Wen Yao glanced towards the door.

Lu Zhengran, Lu Shan, and Chen Shuhua were all standing at the door, with Chen Shuhua holding a cake in her hand.

Happy birthday, Yao Yao.

Wen Yao was taken aback; she didn't know it was her birthday today.

When she was a child, the Wen family never held a birthday party for her.

"Today is my birthday?"

Chen Shuhua, holding a cake, had already walked in.

"Yes, we haven't told you about this, Yao Yao, because we wanted to give you a surprise today."

Lu Zhengran nodded.

"That's right, Yao Yao, I designed this cake, and my parents made it."
