Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

The wolf strode in, still carrying the smell of the outdoors.

"Boss." He gave Zhou Cheng a standard military salute.

Lin Wanwan was startled by the chilling atmosphere and instinctively shrank back into the corner of the sofa.

"Speak, what is it?" Zhou Cheng asked.

"Zhao Liqiang has been caught." Canglang's voice was concise and powerful. "When we found him in the VIP room of the Grand Lisboa in Macau, he had already lost all his money and owed the casino three million. Our men have already 'invited' him onto the ship back to Jiangcheng, and he is expected to arrive early tomorrow morning. What should we do with him, boss?"

"Very good." Zhou Cheng nodded. "Take him to the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city and let him know what the price is for taking money he shouldn't have. As for the three million gambling debt, we don't need to worry about it. The people at the casino are more 'professional' than us."

"Understood." Canglang accepted the order and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute," Zhou Cheng called out to him, "Have Liu Mei and her child been settled in?"

"Reporting to the boss, she has been settled in villa A-08, and the family doctor and nutritionist have arrived. Ms. Liu's emotions are relatively stable, but... she has been wanting to see you in person to thank you."

"Tell her to focus on getting better and taking care of the children; that's more important than anything else. I don't have time to see her right now," Zhou Cheng waved his hand.

He helped Liu Mei only out of old feelings and sympathy, and did not want to have too much interaction with her.

After Canglang left, only Zhou Cheng and Lin Wanwan remained in the living room.

But that conversation just now completely dispelled all the ambiguity in the air.

Lin Wanwan looked at Zhou Cheng with a mixture of awe and fear in her eyes.

This man not only possessed immense wealth, but also wielded the power of life and death.

His single sentence can determine a person's fate.

She suddenly realized how ridiculous it was that she had been hesitating about the one million that afternoon.

She and he were from completely different worlds.

Just then, Su Qingyao and the other two, having changed into their pajamas, came downstairs chattering away.

Their appearance eased the tense atmosphere considerably.

"Wow, Cheng-ge, your pajamas are so comfortable! I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud!" Li Meng exclaimed exaggeratedly.

"Yes, yes, Yao Yao, you're so lucky!" Wang Jing looked at Su Qingyao with envy.

Zhou Cheng looked at them, smiled, and stood up.

"Since you've all changed into your pajamas, then none of you should go back tonight," he announced.

"Huh? You're not going back?" Li Meng and the others were stunned.

"This manor is so big, it's just sitting empty anyway. Besides Yao Yao's master bedroom, there are six guest suites upstairs. You can each choose one and stay as long as you want." Zhou Cheng's tone was as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

But these words stirred up quite a few ripples in the hearts of the three girls.

Stay as long as you want?

This means that they can rightfully stay in this paradise and enjoy a life they never dared to dream of!

"Brother Cheng! You...you're my own brother!" Li Meng was so excited that she almost knelt down before Zhou Cheng.

Wang Jing also covered her mouth, her eyes reddening.

Only Su Qingyao felt a little awkward.

Of course, she wanted her best friends to be doing well, but it felt strange to have them living with her at her boyfriend's house.

But seeing the unwavering look in Zhou Cheng's eyes, she swallowed back her little thoughts.

This night was destined to be a sleepless one for the five people living in Manor A-01 in Moon Bay.

The suite where Li Meng and Wang Jing lived was brightly lit.

"Jingjing! Are we... really going to live here?" Li Meng lay on the soft bed, still feeling like she was dreaming.

"Yeah! Look at this room, it's ten times bigger than our school's dorm! It even has a separate walk-in closet and bathroom! I just saw that all the skincare products in the bathroom are La Mer and Valmont!" Wang Jing took out her phone and started snapping photos like crazy.

"Why do you think Cheng-ge is so nice to us? Is it just because we're Yao Yao's roommates?" Li Meng asked, puzzled.

"Who cares why!" Wang Jing said, "We've got a powerful backer now! From now on, let's see who dares to look down on us at school! By the way, isn't that student council president of yours always ignoring you? Send him this photo tomorrow, he'll regret it!"

"Yes! And your cousin who's been bragging about getting a boyfriend from a small-time boss all the time!"

The two girls excitedly discussed how to use their new identities to take revenge on those who had looked down on them and to plan their bright future after "rising to the top."

In the master bedroom, Su Qingyao was nestled in Zhou Cheng's arms.

"You...you really want them to live here forever?" She couldn't help but ask the question that was on her mind.

"What? Are you jealous?" Zhou Cheng flicked her nose.

"No, I don't." Su Qingyao buried her head in his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I just feel...inconvenient."

"What's inconvenient about it?" Zhou Cheng said with a smile. "Don't worry, in my heart, you'll always be the lady of the house. As for them, they're just guests staying here. I'm doing this simply to make you look better at school, isn't that right?"

Zhou Cheng's words instantly resolved the little knot in her heart.

Yes, Li Meng and her friends live here. In the future, everyone at school will envy her and fawn over her.

She, Su Qingyao, will become the most glamorous woman in the entire music academy, and even in the entire Jiangcheng University Town.

Thinking of this, she took the initiative to kiss Zhou Cheng.

at night.

Su Qingyao suffered terribly.

However, the room was well soundproofed, and no sound came out.

In another suite, Lin Wanwan didn't sleep a wink all night.

She stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dark lake outside, clutching the bank card with a million dollars in it tightly in her hand.

Just now, she received a phone call from home.

On the phone, my mother's voice was full of exhaustion and apology.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry, Mom might have to be a few days late transferring your allowance this month. Your brother... he got into a fight at school again and injured someone. They're demanding 3,000 yuan in compensation..."

Three thousand yuan.

This number, which once seemed like a mountain to her, now appeared so insignificant in front of the card in her hand.

She can solve all the problems in her home with just a flick of her finger.

But then what?

Accepting this million was tantamount to accepting Zhou Cheng's "test," and it also meant handing over one's life completely to that man.

She will no longer be Lin Wanwan, who earned her tuition fees through her own efforts.

She will become a work of art that Zhou Cheng "sculpted" with money.

She looked in the mirror at herself, wearing an oversized T-shirt and with a confused look in her eyes.

"Do you dare to accept?"

Zhou Cheng's words from that afternoon echoed in my ears again.

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a major decision.

She picked up her phone, found Zhou Cheng's WeChat account, and typed a message.

……

The next morning, the sun shone brightly.

In the huge restaurant, the five people sat together for the first time, enjoying a sumptuous breakfast.

The atmosphere was harmonious yet subtle.

Zhou Cheng sat in the main seat, like a patriarch.

Su Qingyao sat beside him, acting like the lady of the house.

Li Meng and Wang Jing, like two lively larks, chattered away about the interesting things that happened at school.

Lin Wanwan was the last one to come down. She had changed into a Dior suit that she had just bought yesterday. Although she still felt a little awkward, her overall demeanor was completely different from yesterday.

She sat quietly in the seat furthest from Zhou Cheng, drinking her milk with her head down.

Zhou Cheng's gaze swept over her seemingly unintentionally, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

He knew that this rough gem had begun to shine.

Just as he was about to speak and announce today's "event schedule," a cold, mechanical voice rang in his mind.

[Warning! High-intensity distress signal detected!]

A blood-red task panel popped up and filled his entire field of vision.

[Emergency Rescue Mission: Eye of the Storm in the North Pacific]
