Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

Zhou Cheng's words, "From now on, I will support this family," sent a jolt through the hearts of the Tang family.

The air seemed to freeze, and only Tang Jianguo's heavy breathing could be heard.

One hundred million! This isn't a million or ten million. And just like that, this huge sum of money, ostensibly for "living expenses," was directly transferred to his daughter's account.

Tang Jianguo felt like his whole world was collapsing.

He dedicated his life to teaching and nurturing students, always feeling that he possessed a certain integrity. But faced with this number, all his pride became insignificant.

"No! Absolutely not!"

Tang Jianguo stood up abruptly, his face flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulging.

He pointed at the phone in Tang Xinyi's hand, his voice trembling: "Zhou Cheng! What do you mean by this? What do you take us for? Are you trying to buy us with money? We don't want a single penny! Transfer it back to us right now!"

Li Xiumei was also stunned by the number, but her reaction was completely different from Lao Tang's.

She snatched the phone from her daughter's hand, her eyes practically glued to the screen, counting the long string of zeros over and over again, afraid she was seeing things.

After confirming that it was correct, she swallowed hard, her throat dry. She looked at her phone, then at her increasingly pleasing son-in-law, her mind a jumble of emotions.

She knew verbally that the old man was right and that she shouldn't take the money. But in her heart, she had never seen so much money in her life. The sense of security that the money brought made her really unwilling to let go.

"Old Tang, don't get agitated, sit down~" Li Xiumei tugged at her husband's sleeve, her voice a little unsteady, "Zhou Cheng~ Zhou Cheng meant well~"

"What good intentions?!" Tang Jianguo shook off her hand, glaring at Zhou Cheng. "We're marrying off our daughter, not selling her! Our Tang family isn't rich, but we're not at the point where we have to sell our daughter to survive! You have to take this money back to me today!"

Seeing his father-in-law so angry, Zhou Cheng wasn't surprised at all. He slowly stood up, personally poured Tang Jianguo a cup of tea, and handed it to him with both hands.

"Dad, calm down and have some tea."

The way he called out "Dad" was so natural that Tang Jianguo swallowed the words of anger he was about to utter.

Zhou Cheng helped him sit back down on the stone bench before slowly speaking.

Although his voice wasn't loud, it carried an undeniable force: "Dad, Mom, let's start with this: this money isn't some kind of business transaction. I'm a junior, Xinyi's future husband, and it's only natural for me to show filial piety to you both."

"Furthermore, you two don't need to worry about where this money came from."

Zhou Cheng's gaze swept over the elderly couple's faces, and his tone became more serious. "All the assets and cash under my name have been audited by the world's top accounting firms. Every penny is clean and there are absolutely no problems. I dare to transfer this money directly to Xinyi Card because they can withstand scrutiny."

Hearing this, Tang Jianguo finally let go of the last thought in his mind that "the money was dirty".

"Finally, and most importantly."

Zhou Cheng looked at Tang Jianguo with such sincerity that it was impossible to find a reason to refuse. "I'm doing this not because I look down on you two, but quite the opposite. It's to give you and Xinyi enough respect and a sense of security. You saw what happened with President Wang last time; that was just the beginning."

As Xinyi's career develops, more and more people will be eyeing her and our family.

I must assure you that even if I am not by your side, your lives will not be affected in the slightest, and you will not become a weakness that others can use to threaten Xinyi.

"One hundred million sounds like a lot. But for the life we'll live in the future, and for the safety of our whole family, it's just a minimum."

Zhou Cheng's words struck Tang Jianguo like a blow to the heart.

As a father, how could he not want his daughter to be well and safe?

The future Zhou Cheng envisioned, along with the ideas he offered, made it impossible for him to say "no."

He picked up the teacup, and the scalding tea went down his throat, but he still couldn't suppress the chaotic feeling in his heart.

He didn't say anything, which was considered an agreement.

Seeing this, Li Xiumei finally breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully returned the phone to Tang Xinyi, then took Zhou Cheng's hand, beaming from ear to ear, and said, "Good boy, your parents were overthinking it. We're just old-fashioned. From now on, this family will be entirely yours!"

"Mom, we're family, so let's not be so formal." Zhou Cheng smiled and then said, "So, I have an idea that I'd like to discuss with you two."

"Tell me, tell me!" Li Xiumei now finds Zhou Cheng perfect in every way, pleasing to the eye no matter how she looks at him.

"Although this courtyard is quiet, the security is still a bit lacking. Besides, Xinyi is busy with work, and I will be traveling for work frequently in the future. We don't feel at ease leaving you two here."

Zhou Cheng paused for a moment, then shared his thoughts, "Yesterday, Xinyi and I went to see a villa near the Cloud Palace, which is also close to the TV station."

What I mean is, you two should move in with us too. It's a family affair; it's more lively and safer to live together."

"Move to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds?" Li Xiumei's eyes widened immediately. She had only seen that place on television magazines; it was a place that only the truly wealthy and powerful in Jiangcheng could afford to live.

Tang Jianguo's emotions, which he had just managed to calm down, were thrown into turmoil again by this matter.

He frowned: "No way! That's your and Xinyi's wedding room. What are we two old folks doing there? It's inconvenient!"

"Dad, there's nothing inconvenient about it."

Zhou Cheng had anticipated this response. "That villa is huge, three stories high with a private elevator. The living areas are all separated, so no one gets in anyone's way. Most importantly, Duoduo is starting school soon, and it's much more convenient and safer to go to Jiangcheng University from there than from here."

He brought up Tang Duo again.

"And another thing," Zhou Cheng glanced at Tang Xinyi, his gaze softening, "when we have children in the future, we'll need you two, Mom and Dad, to help take care of them. We can't expect you to be running back and forth between the two places again, can we?"

Child~

The moment those two words were uttered, Tang Xinyi's face flushed bright red. She gave Zhou Cheng a reproachful look, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

Li Xiumei and Tang Jianguo exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of relenting in each other's eyes.

Grandchildren, this is something they've been looking forward to for so many years.

"You two might not have a good grasp of what I'm saying," Zhou Cheng said, taking out his phone and playing a video. "This is a video I filmed yesterday. Take a look."

The video shows the interior of "Sky Palace No. 1" in the Genting Palace complex. The camera slowly pans over, revealing a stunning 270-degree river view, a private helipad, an indoor heated swimming pool, and a master bedroom as large as a palace—all these features are displayed before the elderly couple's eyes.

Li Xiumei was so excited that she couldn't stop slapping her thigh.

Although Tang Jianguo didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the screen, and his gaze revealed the shock he felt.

That wasn't just a house; it was a world he could never have dreamed of.

At the end of the video, the camera focused on the newly printed property certificate. When Tang Jianguo clearly saw that in the "co-owners" section, besides Zhou Cheng, the name "Tang Xinyi" was also written, the cigarette he was holding fell to the ground with a "thud".

He was completely speechless now.

The sentiment this young man expressed was completely beyond his comprehension.

He's not just negotiating with you; he's arranging your entire future in a way you simply can't refuse.

"Old Tang~" Li Xiumei nudged her husband's arm, her voice filled with anticipation.

Tang Jianguo remained silent for a long time, so long that Li Xiumei thought he was about to explode.

He slowly bent down to pick up the cigarette butt from the ground, stubbed it out, and then looked up at Zhou Cheng.

His eyes held a mixture of emotions, which finally turned into a long sigh.

"I'll follow your arrangements."

These six words signify that a father, a man, has completely relinquished his last remaining pride and handed over the future of his entire family entirely to another, more capable man.

Zhou Cheng smiled, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

He knew that from this moment on, this family truly belonged to the "Zhou" family.
