My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

A legacy of fifty million.

It was left to me by my father before he died!

When Aunt Gu told me this story herself...

I feel top-heavy and lightheaded.

It felt like I was in a dream.

It feels like everything in front of me isn't real.

at this time.

Zhao Ming came out of the restroom carrying a cup of tea.

He just happened to overhear it.

Aunt Gu told me about the 50 million yuan inheritance.

After hearing this, Zhao Ming...

His expression immediately became distorted.

Those were feelings of jealousy and hatred.

However, when Zhao Ming came out of the restroom, he appeared very calm.

He even had a faint smile on his face.

Zhao Ming said, "Aunt Gu, Lu Yi, Lin Xia, please have some tea."

Aunt Gu waved to Zhao Ming with a smile.

"Come, come, Zhao Ming, you've worked hard, please sit here."

Aunt Gu beckoned Zhao Ming to sit next to her.

At that moment, I was deeply shocked.

It took him a long time to recover from the shock of the 50 million inheritance.

I forgot Zhao Ming was sitting here.

Without trying to hide it, she asked Aunt Gu, "Aunt Gu, when will you give me the inheritance my father left me?"

This inheritance is very important to me.

A full fifty million!

He will be the key to turning my life around.

Ever since Gu Yao sent me to the reformatory and subjected me to a year of torture and rehabilitation.

She completely cured my love-struck mind.

It also made me realize that in life, it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else.

Aunt Gu said with a smile, "Lu Yi, I'll give you 50 million the moment you marry Lin Xia!"

These words made Lin Xia and me pause for a moment.

I gave an awkward and embarrassed smile.

.......

Then, Lin Xia and I had a meal at Aunt Gu's house.

Aunt Gu saw that it was a rare occasion for everyone to get together.

She personally cooked a delicious home-style meal.

After we finished eating, it got dark.

Lin Xia and I said goodbye first and left Aunt Gu's house.

When Lin Xia and I got downstairs...

Lin Xia suddenly looked at me meaningfully: "Lu Yi, aren't you tempted by this fifty million?"

I chuckled and said, "Of course I'm tempted. Look at how poor and pathetic I am now. With this fifty million, at least I can change my current situation. Besides, don't I still owe you money?"

Upon hearing the words "owes money," Lin Xia's expression clearly changed.

Perhaps Lin Xia has forgotten about the "debt".

So she was worried that if I returned the money to her...

Will the bond between us gradually disappear?

Lin Xia said, "Aunt Gu said that you have to get married to receive this 50 million."

I laughed and said, "I know, but looking at me, with no house, no car, poor and pathetic, I doubt any woman would want to marry me."

Lin Xia stared at me intently.

"Lu Yi, why are you so insecure? At least in my heart, you are the most outstanding man!"

I was stunned for a moment, then felt a warm feeling in my heart.

However, I always feel unconsciously inferior in front of Lin Xia.

I said, "Lin Xia, thank you for appreciating me."

Lin Xia looked at me like this.

They never respond or take the initiative.

She was getting a little anxious.

"Hey! Lu Yi, think about it! I can help you get this fifty million first!"

I looked at Lin Xia with some surprise.

Lin Xia was a little nervous, her face slightly flushed: "Well, don't you need money right now? As friends, it's only natural for me to help you, right? That's fifty million! With that money, you can get back on your feet and prove yourself again!"

"Isn't that right? You've always wanted to prove yourself to Gu Yao and Zhao Ming. You'll get back what you've lost one day!"

I stared blankly at Lin Xia, unable to believe that she would say such a thing to me.

After a moment, I smiled and said, "Thank you, Lin Xia..."

Lin Xia was stunned.

"What do you mean? When you say thank you to me, does that mean you agree or disagree?"

I said, "Won't this be deceiving Aunt Gu? What if it becomes real? Wouldn't you be at a huge disadvantage?"

"You're so outstanding and beautiful, there should be a better man than me who is worthy of you!"

Lin Xia took a deep breath.

She said, "Hey! Lu Yi, are you even a man? I haven't even mentioned being at a disadvantage, and you're already worried about me?"

"Fine! You can agree or not, I'm not asking anymore!"

After saying that, Lin Xia turned and left.

I laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I promise you!"

.......

And so, Lin Xia and I became a contract couple.

And this contract.

It was Lin Xia who brought it up first.

the next day.

Lin Xia handed me a thick contract.

The document clearly outlines what can and cannot be done after becoming a contract couple.

I was too lazy to look at it, so I just signed it.

Anyway, I just stick to the principle that I shouldn't do anything to Lin Xia.

This way, at least I can be sure I won't do anything wrong.

After the contract was signed.

Then I received a call from Aunt Gu.

At that time, I was still in Lin Xia's office.

She saw my phone ring and asked me about it out of curiosity.

Who called you? Why didn't you answer?

"Aunt Gu..."

I was just about to leave when Lin Xia's voice rang out.

"Then you can pick it up here."

So, I answered the phone in front of Lin Xia.

I heard Aunt Gu crying frantically on the other end of the phone.

"Lu Yi! I'm so sorry! Today I went to the bank to check the account your father left behind, and I found that 50 million is missing!"

These words struck me like a thunderbolt, hitting me hard on the head.

At that moment, I felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground.

Lin Xia noticed that I was in a very bad state.

She quickly got up from her chair and helped me sit down on the sofa.

"Lu Yi, don't panic, the money couldn't have just disappeared from the bank account!"

"Quickly, have Aunt Gu check the transfer records!"

It was only after Lin Xia reminded me that I snapped out of my daze.

Then I quickly asked Aunt Gu to check the transfer records.

However, Aunt Gu was overwhelmed with grief and panic.

No matter how much I told her to calm down.

She kept repeating that she was a sinner, that she had made a mistake, and that she had let me down.

In this situation, I realized that I couldn't try to persuade Aunt Gu over the phone.

I quickly asked Aunt Gu for her location.

However, Aunt Gu suddenly hung up the phone!

My heart skipped a beat, and I frantically dialed the number again.

But this time, the phone call wouldn't go through no matter what!

Aunt Gu did not answer the phone.

A huge sense of panic spread through Lin Xia and me.

Lin Xia said, "Lu Yi, since Aunt Gu just checked her account, it means she should be at the bank. Let's go to the bank closest to her home right away!"
