Super Rich: Enjoying the Happiness of the Wealthy After Divorce

In the study, the salty smell of Tang Xinyi's tears had not yet dissipated.

She huddled in Zhou Cheng's arms, her body still trembling slightly. That phone call had shattered any remaining feelings she had for her friend.

Zhou Cheng didn't say anything, but held her in his arms, patting her back gently, like stroking the fur of a frightened cat. He quite enjoyed this feeling; these women, who were usually so reserved, let down their guard in his arms, revealing their most vulnerable side, giving him a sense of security that he had everything under control.

After a long while, Tang Xinyi's sobs gradually subsided. She raised her head, her eyes red and swollen, and looked at Zhou Cheng, her voice thick with emotion: "Am I stupid? I've been fooled for so many years without even realizing it."

"She's not stupid, just too soft-hearted." Zhou Cheng wiped away her tears, his tone indifferent. "In this world, being soft-hearted is useless. You have to make people fear you and respect you, otherwise no one will dare to do anything behind your back."

Tang Xinyi seemed to understand something and nodded.

She looked at the man before her. It was he who showed her how filthy people's hearts could be; it was also he who gave her a safe haven from the storm during her most difficult time.

She suddenly reached out and hugged his waist tightly, pressing her face against his hard belly, her voice muffled, revealing a dependence she had never felt before.

"Zhou Cheng".

"Um?"

"From now on... I will only trust you."

Zhou Cheng's lips twitched slightly; this was exactly what he wanted to hear.

After Tang Xinyi went back to her room and went to sleep, Zhou Cheng sat back down in the large chair in his study. Li Na's situation had served as a reminder to him.

He's surrounded by more and more women; he can't let them run wild like before. It's time to set new rules so they all understand their place and can maximize their usefulness.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and the image of Lin Wanwan's pure yet stubborn face popped into his mind.

This girl, who's been rated S by the system, is like a piece of fine jade yet to be unearthed; it's time to invest some resources in her.

He opened the system interface.

[Target: Lin Wanwan]

[Appearance: 95 (Top-tier beauty)]

Body type: 96 (golden ratio)

[Special Attributes: Resilience 92, Gratitude 95]

[Potential Rating: S-level!]

Current state: Gratitude, dependence, confusion

[The exclusive value-added fund "Evening Starlight" has been activated, with a current quota of 100 billion RMB.]

10 billion.

Looking at the numbers, Zhou Cheng had a better understanding of the situation. He picked up his phone and called Lin Wanwan directly.

The phone rang once and was answered. Lin Wanwan's voice, a mix of nervousness and excitement, came from the other end: "Mr...Mr. Zhou?"

"It's me." Zhou Cheng leaned back in his chair, his voice unreadable. "How's school been lately?"

"It's...it's fine. Thank you for helping me last time..."

"No need to thank me," Zhou Cheng interrupted her. "I helped you because you're worth the price. Now, I'm going to invest something new in you. Want to hear it?"

Lin Wanwan on the other end of the phone seemed to have forgotten to catch her breath. She nodded vigorously before remembering that the other person couldn't see her, and quickly said, "Yes! I want to hear!"

"Okay." Zhou Cheng's tone remained calm. "Starting this month, I'll give you one million yuan a month for living expenses. You can buy whatever you want with this money to improve your family's life; you don't need to report to me."

One million!

Lin Wanwan's mind went blank for a moment, and she almost dropped the water glass in her hand.

A million a month? What does that even mean? Her parents couldn't earn that much in their entire lives!

She opened her mouth, unable to utter a word for a long time, her heart pounding like a drum.

"What, you think it's not enough?" Zhou Cheng's voice carried a hint of amusement.

"No! No! Too much! I... I can't take it..." Lin Wanwan stammered, feeling like she was dreaming.

"Take what I give you," Zhou Cheng said firmly, leaving no room for argument. "This is just an appetizer. Tell me, what are your plans for the future?"

"I...I want to study hard, find a good job after graduation, and earn money to repay you..."

"Your vision is too narrow." Zhou Cheng chuckled. "Looking for a job? How much can you earn in a month? Ten thousand? Twenty thousand? Do you think I'm spending so much effort on you just to support a high-class employee?"

Lin Wanwan's face flushed instantly. She felt that her thoughts were ridiculously insignificant in front of this man.

"Listen carefully, Lin Wanwan." Zhou Cheng's voice deepened. "I've opened a special investment fund for you called 'Wanwan Starlight,' with a principal of 10 billion."

"Pfft~"

Lin Wanwan spat out the mouthful of water she had just taken a sip of, coughing violently.

She didn't even bother to wipe her mouth; she was completely stunned, holding her phone, thinking she had misheard.

One...ten billion?

"Cough cough... Mr. Zhou, you... you're not joking, are you?" Her voice was trembling.

"Do I look like I'm joking?" Zhou Cheng retorted. "I'll find the best team to manage this money for you. What you need to do is quickly learn finance, management, and investment. I need you to grow into a queen who can manage my money in the shortest amount of time, not just a pretty face who collects living expenses. Understand?"

Lin Wan-wan was completely dumbfounded.

One million for living expenses, and ten billion for a fund.

This man, in a way she could never understand, paved a path straight to the clouds for her life.

She could feel her body trembling uncontrollably from excitement and fear.

"I...I understand..." It took her a long time to find her voice, a voice trembling with tears, yet also filled with a utterly subdued submission. "I...I will never let you down!"

"Very good." Zhou Cheng was satisfied with her reaction. "Pack your things, I'll have Qin Yue pick you up. From now on, don't stay in the dorm anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Cheng sent Qin Yue a message, asking her to do two things. First, pick up Lin Wanwan from Jiangcheng University. Second, immediately transfer the ownership of one of the three penthouse apartments in Tomson Riviera to Lin Wanwan's name.

After doing all this, he stood up and walked out of the study.

The game has only just begun.

……

An hour later, Qin Yue drove a black Bentley, carrying the still dizzy Lin Wanwan, and parked it in the underground parking garage of Tomson Riviera.

When Lin Wanwan held the property certificate with her name on it and walked into the top-floor penthouse that looked like a palace and offered a panoramic view of the river, her legs went weak.

"Ms. Lin, Mr. Zhou instructed that this will be your home from now on." Qin Yue handed her a black card. "This card contains one million yuan for living expenses this month. Your walk-in closet is already stocked with new clothes for the season, and the refrigerator is full. Please contact me anytime if you need anything."

Lin Wanwan blankly took the card, looking at Qin Yue's beautiful and capable face, and suddenly asked softly, "Sister Qin Yue... are there many people like me around Mr. Zhou?"

Qin Yue glanced at her, her gaze somewhat complicated, but her tone remained businesslike: "Mr. Zhou's thoughts are beyond our comprehension. Just focus on your own work."

After saying that, Qin Yue left.

In the enormous house, Lin Wanwan was all alone. Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the city lights outside, the confusion and fear in her heart were slowly replaced by an ambition and desire she had never felt before.

She knew that her life had completely changed from this day forward.

Just then, my phone rang; it was a message from Zhou Cheng.

Come to Building A of Tomson Riviera, I'll be waiting for you here.

Building A?

Lin Wanwan was taken aback; her building was Building C. She didn't dare ask any more questions, quickly changed her clothes, took the elevator downstairs, and walked to Building A.

Using the password sent by Zhou Cheng, she opened the door to the top-floor apartment. As soon as she entered, she saw several girls sitting on the sofa in the living room.

The one leading the group is none other than Su Qingyao, the number one beauty of Jiangcheng University, known to everyone.

Su Qingyao, Li Meng, Wang Jing... they all sat there, just like the lady of the house.

Seeing Lin Wanwan enter, Su Qingyao's face remained expressionless as she glanced at her indifferently.

Zhou Cheng sat between them, holding a glass of red wine, with a playful smile on his face.

He looked at Lin Wanwan, who seemed a little flustered, pointed at Su Qingyao, and said, "Come here, let's get acquainted."

"From now on, call her Sister Qingyao."
