Xia Tingwan said, "Lin Jianshen said that a boss once said something to him."

"Once you climb one mountain, you'll find another one higher."

"If you really can't get over it, then die on the way over it."

Sun Yu's eyes lit up for a moment: "That makes sense."

She glanced at her watch: "But I have to go home. If my dad finds out I'm coming home late, he'll definitely scold me for ages."

Xia Tingwan asked, "Are you very afraid of your father?"

"My dad is very strict with me," Sun Yu asked in surprise. "Aren't you afraid of your dad?"

Xia Tingwan stood on the main road outside the haunted house, with the carousel on her other side.

As it had gotten dark, all the lights on the building were turned on.

Strings of colorful lights shone on Xia Tingwan's face.

She glanced at the colorful lights on the carousel, seemingly finding them a bit too bright, and squinted slightly: "I don't have a father."

Sun Yu opened her mouth, but found that the sound was stuck in her throat.

After a while, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

Xia Tingwan smiled and said, "It's okay, I have someone who loves me now."

Her eyes were gentle, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned.

Sun Yu was unsure whether to sympathize with Xia Tingwan or with herself.

After calming down for a while, she said listlessly, "Actually, I know that if I keep bothering Lin Jianshen, it will cause him a lot of trouble."

"And it's destined to be impossible for us."

"Sigh, I was indeed too selfish."

Xia Tingwan murmured, "Actually, you're a good person. If I were you, I might be even more selfish than you."

Sun Yu sighed, "It's good that you understand me."

"Sigh, my first relationship has ended just like that."

Xia Tingwan said, "Although you lost a relationship, you gained a strategist."

"If you want, you can have a friendship that's even stronger than this love."

Sun Yu murmured, "I already lost face at the graduation banquet, and I also took my anger out on someone. We're even now."

"Since things have come to this, Xia Tingwan, I wish you happiness."

She extended her hand to Xia Tingwan: "I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

She removed her manicure, leaving her fingernails painted.

The flesh-colored Ganlu Temple.

She actually prefers brighter, more flamboyant colors, but that makes her more susceptible to criticism.

Sun Yu looked down at her hands, silently hoping that she would have the right to choose her nail polish color in the future.

Xia Tingwan reached out and shook her hand: "Thank you, I'll help you."

Li Peng's incident has caused quite a stir.

Sun Hao had already been informed of this matter by his underlings.

After some time, Sun Hao finished his work and held a conference call.

Sun Hao demanded, "Li Shiqi, didn't I say that you can't lay a hand on your own people or their families without sufficient reason?"

"If we don't win people's hearts, who will be willing to risk their lives for us in the future?"

Li Shiqi could only swallow his anger: "I'm sorry, boss, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly."

Li Peng, however, was unconvinced: "Uncle Hao, Sun Yu and I have had a good relationship since childhood. She asked me to stand up for her, so I can't just stand up for her."

"Even if things went a bit too far, Lin Jianshen shouldn't treat me like this!"

Li Shiqi secretly sensed something was wrong, but actually, this matter would be over after a lesson.

In certain situations, bowing your head is actually a wise way to cut your losses in time.

Li Peng insisted on arguing, which Sun Hao saw as a sign of disrespect.

Unfortunately, Li Peng didn't understand these intricacies.

He couldn't stop it at that moment.

Sun Jian jumped out to refute Li Peng: "I have a recording here. You said it yourself, that you only attacked me to embarrass me."

"We've all worshipped Guan Yu, we're all brothers. This kind of trickery is too much."

Li Peng argued, "It's because Lin Jianshen used rubber bands to flick... flick... flick... In short, he used torture to extract a confession, that's why I said that."

Sun Hao pondered for a moment and said, "It's not like this girl's usual habit for her to ask you to help her vent her anger."

"Although my daughter is rebellious at times, she is a good child and doesn't have the guts to do that."

Li Shiqi felt that things had taken a turn for the better and said, "Why don't we bring Miss in too and talk things out face to face?"

Li Peng breathed a slight sigh of relief, because as Sun Yu's best friend, he understood Sun Yu better than Sun Hao in some ways.

He knew Sun Yu would take responsibility.

This was the inevitable result of the mental shackles that Sun Hao had imposed on her.

Sun Yu was then pulled into the meeting.

Sun Hao asked, "Xiaoyu, you asked Li Peng to stand up for you? Do you know that's breaking the rules?"

Sun Yu replied, "No, I was drunk at the time, and Li Peng took the opportunity to instigate me."

"And what I said at the time was just a small warning, a verbal warning."

"I had no idea that Li Peng would go so far. He hired people to follow and smuggle people into his house and even vandalized it."

Li Peng and Sun Jian were both stunned, not expecting Sun Yu to say that.

Sun Hao kicked Sun Yu out of the meeting and then said, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished."

"Cai Long and Ge Shan should find a place to rest first. As for that underground casino, A-Jian should send someone over to take over."

Sun Jian originally thought that Sun Yu would take responsibility in the end.

Li Peng will at most get a few taps on the shoulder.

Lose some face.

I didn't expect him to be hit so hard.

Suddenly, the situation turned into a perfect winning streak; it was practically an easy victory.

He was absolutely ecstatic; the farmhouse was actually a medium-sized casino.

I don't know how much money I make in a day.

Lin Jianshen is a damn lucky star!

Sun Jian replied immediately, "Okay, Dad, I'll arrange for someone to go there tomorrow."

Even through his phone, Li Shiqi could picture Sun Jian's smug face.

He was furious, but Sun Hao had spoken, and he couldn't argue with him.

After the conference call ended, Li Shiqi found a Gucci belt and asked his underling to call Li Peng over.

He won't return to the cruise ship until this belt is broken today.

After guessing that Sun Hao had finished his work, Sun Yu called him.

"Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't expect Li Peng to go so far. I was deceived by him."

Sun Hao lectured, "To put it nicely, you're naive; to put it bluntly, you're stupid."

"If I marry someone else in the future, they will look down on me."

"Remember this: in Beijing's elite circles, the bigger the family, the higher their standards."

Holding her phone, Sun Yu said, "Dad, I think I was deceived and taken advantage of by him because I lack social experience."

"I'm eighteen now, I can try doing some business."

"With his experience in society, he won't be able to fool me so easily."

Sun Hao asked, "Why do you suddenly want to learn how to do business?"

Sun Yu said, "Dad, business management is a skill that can be developed."

"If I have that kind of ability, even if I marry into that family, I can at least help them manage their business, right?"

"Besides, I've always eaten and used your things, so I want to do something for you."

Sun Hao was silent for a moment, then said with great satisfaction, "You've finally grown up. Okay, I'll give you a company to practice with first."

"Anyone you like?"

Sun Yu's heart pounded, and her sweaty hands gripped her phone tightly: "Dad, I want to try Yuanfen Jewelry Store."

"The store manager is quite experienced, and I think I have a good eye for jewelry, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Sun Hao said, "Okay, let's give it a try."

"Remember, it's good to improve yourself, and it's the right thing to focus on that."

"Stop thinking about romance all the time; that's not something you should be thinking about."

Sun Yu said, "I understand, Dad."

After hanging up the phone, she couldn't help but jump up and pounce on the bed.

Following Xia Tingwan's instructions, she actually managed to get her hands on this jewelry store, which was neither too big nor too small.

This would be a great start.

She wants to take control of her own life, step by step.
