Chapter 415 How fortunate we are to meet amidst mountains and seas

The hustle and bustle outside was temporarily put to rest when Xu Meng called out "Dinner's ready."

Seven people, this is the second time they have gathered in half a year, and they all arrived in full force.

Because the place is large enough and there is more than one restaurant, there are no third wheels while eating.

Shen Zhaoyi sat in the main seat, with three people on each side of the square table. The order was still determined by rolling dice and comparing the results, which seemed to have become their default procedure.

There are many reasons why we're gathered here today.

Celebrating the successful move to the island, celebrating the anniversary of everyone being together, and more importantly, introducing the Dawn Foundation.

After a year of getting along, Qiu Yu, Pei Yan, and the others, though they didn't say it on the surface, were more curious than anyone else about the source of this reckless spending.

Helpless, after the verdict against Shen Li and his wife was handed down, Shen Fuguang made inquiries from various sources and finally went to Cong Lang's office to cause trouble.

At that time, the top lawyer had already moved with his team to work for the motorcade.

How did an ordinary girl from a small county become a boss with assets of hundreds of billions? There has to be an explanation for this.

I am grateful to Qiu Yi for delivering the appointment letter in time, and I am also thankful for the foundation's unwritten rule.

After Shen Zhaoyi calmly revealed her current identity, the atmosphere at the dinner table seemed to be paused.

Qiu Yu, being the one who understood the stakes best, was the first to come to her senses.

"You mean, a one in a trillion chance fell into your hands?"

"Doesn't it look like it?" Shen Zhaoyi blinked, wondering if she should provide some proof.

In fact, it's not necessary at all.

The small island they now live on, the industries in the country, and what each of them owns are all very convincing.

During a meal, the conversation shifted from reminiscing to sharing science, and Han Ziyang instantly realized that his mother was right.

Tell me, is there any other restaurant in the world with softer food than this?
He wasn't the only one with this idea.

After reading the related news on his phone, Pei Yan suddenly began to doubt his racing career. "Honestly, honey, with our family's resources, do I still need to work harder?"

"Why wouldn't I need it?" Qiu Yu rolled her eyes at him. "If you're a man, stop having such crooked ideas."

Shen Zhaoyi was willing to give it, that was out of her own free will. In return, she would simply be willing to reap the benefits without sowing her own desires.

Cheng Yubai strongly agreed with this.

"You'd better put away your dangerous thoughts."

"Also, who are you calling 'baby'?"

After saying that, he stood up, walked over and put his arm around Pei Yan's arm, ready to teach him how to speak properly.

This move successfully diverted most of their attention, and Mumu and Qiuyu quickly joined the battle.

Only Su Ye looked at Shen Zhaoyi with a dark and ambiguous gaze. He remembered that back in July last year, there was a mention of a "bankruptcy crisis." So, is the existence of the foundation a good thing or a bad thing?

Seeing his brother-in-law's overly serious expression, Han Ziyang assumed he was intimidated by the difference in their social status. He stepped over the messy sofa and went to offer some words of comfort.

As they passed by the battlefield, Pei Yan grabbed their trouser leg.

"Brother, help me out!"

"What do you mean 'little'? It seems you still don't know how to address people." Cheng Yubai grabbed him and started spouting his theory of being the eldest and second eldest.

Everyone was making a ruckus, while Shen Zhaoyi watched from a distance.

She felt like a victor at that moment, having gained both money and beauty, and living a carefree life. She didn't have to worry about being late for work the next day, nor did she have to care about how high a pillow to use to sleep at night.

Because a beautiful dream is every day after you open your eyes.

As night falls, the area around the island becomes quiet except for the occasional sound of waves lapping against the shore.

Shen Zhaoyi initially thought that everyone might find it a bit difficult to adjust to a different place, but seeing the guys busily carrying ingredients, she realized she had worried too much. They were treating their time here like a vacation; they had barely finished eating when they were already planning a BBQ on the beach.

Thankfully, there were bright enough spotlights hanging in the trees; otherwise, I might not have been able to tell whether the seasoning in my hand was salt or sugar.

The night breeze rustled Shen Zhaoyi's skirt, bringing a touch of coolness.

"Why aren't you wearing more clothes?" Su Ye saw her rubbing her arms and gently reminded her, "It's not like back home, the temperature difference here is quite big, why don't you go back inside and put on another layer?"

"Yes, sister, it's not easy to find a doctor when you have a cold."

"Doctor?" Cheng Yubai, who was inspecting the ingredients, looked up. "I can help you."

"Stop serving me, focus on the food in front of you."

Shen Zhaoyi refused anyone's company, turned around and left, heading towards the main building.

The clothes had already been purchased and delivered in batches beforehand. Considering that they needed to match the scene, I finally chose a shawl that suited the style, and then went to the bathroom to fix my hair that had been messed up by the wind.

By the time I finished cleaning up and came out, ten minutes had passed.

The place Su Ye and the others chose was not on the artificial lawn outside the house, but on the beach that required going around the coconut grove.

I walked slowly and steadily towards that direction, the lights illuminating the path ahead.

At the end of the road were six men who loved her.

The scene before her eyes gave Shen Zhaoyi the illusion that she was heading towards happiness.

Mumu was the first to spot her returning, and she smiled and waved enthusiastically.

The others stopped what they were doing and turned to look.

This subtle atmosphere of longing from afar prompted Shen Zhaoyi to take even bigger steps.

Closer, closer.

Just as she took the hand that Su Ye offered, a very romantic piano piece suddenly played in her ears, giving her the illusion of being in an idol drama.

Xu Meng hid behind a large tree about five meters away, operating a Bluetooth speaker.

This was the first time the nanny had acted on her own initiative.

Actually, not really. There was a bit of coaxing involved, but she agreed very readily.

Shen Zhaoyi wanted to find the source of the background music, but she was surrounded by the remaining five people.

"What are you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Han Ziyang interrupted him with a gesture to silence him.

She felt as if something was placed on her head, and when the wind blew, the white veil brushed against her face, making her even more confused.

"Sister, just join us for one crazy night."

Han Ziyang's voice carried a cautious probing tone, along with a hint of pitiful pleading.

The others were also worried about being rejected by Shen Zhaoyi.

From their initial principle of only talking about feelings and not getting married, to the insurmountable gap in their social status, they can only try to fulfill an unattainable dream in another way.

Under the tranquil night sky, everyone waited anxiously for the answer.

Xu Meng watched from afar and it seemed that Shen Zhaoyi had repositioned her veil. As for the men, their expressions were not clearly visible.

But she could sense that something called "happiness" was spreading across the island.

The question is, how far should the story end to be considered perfect? ​​Everyone has a different opinion on this answer.

Therefore, the plot should leave enough room for you, the readers, to use your imagination.

Thank you for your company and support over the past six months. See you in the next book...
