Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

"Qianya, I feel I need to reiterate. First of all, I have absolutely no romantic feelings for your brother, not in the past, not now, and not in the future."

"Secondly, your Zhou family is a prestigious family in Xingyun, while I am an orphan, four years older than Zhou Ting, and a divorced woman with a child. Your family would never agree to me entering the family, and I have no intention of marrying into wealth."

"So, could you please help me persuade your brother to stop focusing on me? There's absolutely no way we can be together."

Zhou Qianya said, "This kid is so stubborn, no matter how I try to persuade him, it's no use. To be honest, I really hope you can join our Zhou family, then you'll have to call me 'sister' from now on."

Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes at her and said, "Dream on."

After chatting for a while, the two went shopping at a mall.

Both Lin Yuxi and Zhou Qianya are stunningly beautiful women; not only men, but even women can't help but turn around and take a few glances.

Perhaps due to her upbringing in an orphanage, Lin Yuxi has an extremely strong sense of self-esteem. Even though she and Zhou Qianya are best friends and have a very good relationship, she never accepts anything that Zhou Qianya buys for her.

It was precisely because of Lin Yuxi's spirit that the usually arrogant Zhou Qianya began to see her in a different light and they became good friends.

At noon, Lin Yuxi invited Zhou Qianya to a nice Chinese restaurant for lunch.

Just as the waiter brought the dishes over, a tall, handsome man in his mid-twenties walked up to their table.

Lin Yuxi looked up and saw that it was Zhou Qianya's younger brother, Zhou Ting.

"Sis, Yuxi, do you mind if we sit at the same table?"

Zhou Ting used to call Lin Yuxi "Sister Yuxi," but after she divorced Wang Xingyu, he started calling her Yuxi instead.

Lin Yuxi asked him to sit down, then stared intently at Zhou Qianya with her bright eyes.

It's one thing for Zhou Ting to come to Haijiang, but to be able to find this restaurant, unless someone told him, there's no way he could have found it.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll be honest."

Zhou Qianya said helplessly, "I told Zhou Ting that I wanted to hang out with you today, and I also texted him half an hour ago to tell him that we were going to the restaurant for dinner."

Lin Yuxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I knew it was you."

Zhou Tingdao said, "Yuxi, I heard that you and Wang Xingyu..."

"Stop talking."

Lin Yuxi said seriously, "Zhou Ting, my relationship with Wang Xingyu is none of your business. Whether we remarry or not, I will never be with you. You are young and talented, you can find a beautiful and kind girl to be your girlfriend, there's no need for you to bother me, a divorced woman."

Zhou Ting stated bluntly, "In my heart, you are a goddess. I like you."

Lin Yuxi said, "But I only see you as a younger brother, without any romantic feelings. Besides, I don't think I'm good enough for you."

A hint of sadness appeared on Zhou Ting's face as he said, "In the end, you still can't let go of Wang Xingyu."

His words were so blunt, without a single hint of tact, that Zhou Qianya was speechless at her brother's way of pursuing girls.

"Yu Xi, how about we have someone give Wang Xingyu a try?"

Lin Yuxi was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Qianya said, "Have him come back for dinner tonight. I'll hire a few people to pretend to be perverts and harass you. Let's see if he dares to protect you. If he doesn't, you'd better break up with him as soon as possible."

Lin Yuxi smiled and said, "Your method is too old-fashioned, it's almost like a plot from a romance novel."

Zhou Qianya raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you afraid? Afraid he'll leave you here and run away?"

Lin Yuxi said, "It's no use. Wang Xingyu knows qigong; ordinary people are no match for him."

"qigong?"

Zhou Qianya laughed and said, "What era are we living in? Where would you find qigong? Besides, the people I hired are all security guards from our company, and some of them are even trained martial arts practitioners. Even if they knew qigong, it wouldn't be of any use."

Zhou Ting chimed in, "I think this is a good idea. Yu Xi, if Wang Xingyu is willing to fight them to protect you, I'll back off and won't pursue you anymore."

Are you serious?

Lin Yuxi's biggest headache was Zhou Ting's pursuit. Because of Zhou Qianya, she couldn't hit him or scold him, which annoyed her to no end.

Now that she had a chance to get rid of Zhou Ting, Lin Yuxi really didn't want to let it go.

Zhou Ting nodded and said, "I keep my word. What if Wang Xingyu runs away?"

Lin Yuxi said, "Then it will never be possible between him and me."

Zhou Tingdao said, "Also, you have to accept my..."

"Shut up."

Zhou Qianya interrupted him directly, then glared at him fiercely and said, "Don't push your luck here."

Lin Yuxi already knew Zhou Ting's personality well: he was clumsy with words, had low emotional intelligence, and didn't know how to coax people.

She's a girl, but kind and innocent; she's a good young woman.

"Alright, let's eat."

With one more person added, Lin Yuxi asked the waiter to bring two more dishes.

After a satisfying meal, Zhou Qianya and Lin Yuxi went to get beauty treatments, while Zhou Ting left in a hurry.

He planned to find eight tall and burly bodyguards from his own company, dress them up as thugs, and give Wang Xingyu a good scare.

As long as Wang Xingyu has no chance, my chances of success are high.

Inside a high-end beauty salon, Lin Yuxi picked up her phone and dialed Wang Xingyu's number.

Zhou Qianya, who was standing next to her, immediately perked up her ears.

"Hey, Yuxi, what's up?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if you've had lunch yet?"

"They've eaten. Xiaoxin is feeding the monkey bananas, and they're having a lot of fun."

"What time are you coming back? Qianya misses Xiaoxin'er a bit. Let's have dinner together tonight."

"We'll be back at five, so we won't arrive until after seven."

"Okay. After you book the restaurant, I'll send you the location, and you can just come over."

"no problem."

Lin Yuxi put down her phone and said to Zhou Qianya, who was watching her closely, "Don't worry, I won't tip him off. Because I also want to know if he will stand up for me if I'm in danger."

Zhou Qianya asked, "You said before that Wang Xingyu resigned. What kind of work is he doing now?"

Lin Yuxi said, "I opened my own clinic."

Zhou Qianya frowned slightly and said, "From a top-tier internal medicine doctor to a clinic doctor, he's really going downhill. If you two remarry, will he support you, or will you support him?"

Lin Yuxi shook her head and said, "In the five days since his clinic opened, he not only lent me more than two million yuan to pay off my mortgage, but also bought me a Maybach worth five million yuan in cash."

"Lend you over two million?"

Zhou Qianya said indignantly, "What does he mean by that?"
