Chapter 6: 006 What have I gotten myself into_1
Chi Xiaoyu was instantly shocked after hearing the name.
Gong Beiming!!!
She hadn't misheard, had she? That huge fashion tycoon often reported on TV news, the richest man in City S.
His industries even spanned into e-commerce, internet, luxury fashion, as well as oil and high-tech fields. Moreover, one of DI's brands called Mermaid was the world's most fashionable women's clothing line. In her college years, she almost subscribed to every issue of Mermaid's fashion magazine, studying their female models in detail.
She turned to glance at the silver business card again, noticing a silver mermaid LOGO.
Indeed, that beautiful mermaid was the unique symbol of the Di Conglomerate!
She had seen Gong Beiming in the news before, his handsome and arrogantly alluring figure drew countless gazes, always a fantasy figure for her female classmates.
And last night, she actually encountered him in the flesh!
No wonder he was so aloof!
Wait, it didn't seem like there was much to be happy about—she had smashed his car! She awkwardly lifted her eyes, and Butler Shi was watching her with a polite smile.
Chi Xiaoyu coughed lightly, "Um, I will talk to him. But I am a bit busy right now, we can talk later."
"Alright then, sorry to have disturbed Miss Chi, we will be leaving now!" Butler Shi didn't linger any longer and easily took the bodyguards away with him.
Chi Xiaoyu quickly changed her shoes to rush off—what brand were these shoes? They were so comfortable and light on her feet. She looked down and noticed a golden mermaid logo on the shoe uppers too...
At the Chi Family's front gate.
Aunt Lau Hong was busy, guiding two renovation workers with commands, her body plump and bloated despite being clad in expensive branded clothes, and a thick gold chain around her neck made her appear all the more vulgar.
Since her parents' deaths, Uncle Chi Zhiyuan and Aunt Lau Hong had moved into her house openly, taking 50% of Yunshang's shares under the guise of guardianship.
Likewise, they naturally brought Cousin Chi Tingting to live with them, the three of them leeching off her like parasites, extracting all of her parents' inheritance.
That year, she was merely in her teens, understanding nothing, genuinely believing that Uncle Chi Zhiyuan and Aunt Lau Hong would treat her as their own daughter.
"Yo, Xiao Yu, you're back just in time. Look, aren't you about to get married? We need to renovate the house too. Our Chi family has a reputation in City S; we can't let it look shabby and be the laughingstock of others. I think we need at least three hundred thousand for the renovations, right?"
Lau Hong looked at her with shrewd eyes.
Chi Xiaoyu felt disgusted inside.
Her mother had left her an inheritance before passing away, which Lau Hong and her daughter had conned her out of a great deal over the years, leaving little remaining.
They knew full well she was getting married, yet they didn't even offer to provide her with new clothes or a dowry, instead using all sorts of excuses to swindle her money.
Did they really think she was so easy to deceive?
Suppressing her inner disgust, Chi Xiaoyu forced a smile, "Auntie, you make a lot of sense. A renovation is indeed needed. But shouldn't Uncle contribute some money? After all, I am getting married!"
"Oh, you child, don't you know? Yunshang's business isn't doing well. Your uncle is running himself ragged every day and has fallen ill from it, now also owing a stack of debts. He wouldn't have had to go through this suffering if not for you. You don't even have a word of kindness for him, yet you want to ask for a dowry!" Lau Hong put on a pitiful, teary-eyed face.
Chi Xiaoyu's fists clenched underneath her sleeves.
She clearly remembered that just last month, Uncle Chi Zhiyuan, under the pretense of keeping up appearances for her wedding, took the opportunity to buy a new Mercedes. Chi Tingting had also gotten a new Apple 7S, an LV bag, various luxury skincare products...
Last month, the three of them went behind her back to the Maldives for a one-week vacation.
Heh, did this look like the behavior of someone in debt? They were the very picture of upstarts.
