Jenny was the prettiest out of all the maids, so she was chosen to be sent to Qiao Chen’s side.

Although Jenny was a maid from the Qiao family, after observing in Qiao Chen’s residence for a while, she realized that Qiao Chen truly had power and influence in the capital.

If she successfully played up to Qiao Chen, she wouldn’t have to worry about her material needs for the rest of her life!

Therefore, Jenny dressed up beautifully all day long and had been hanging around in front of Qiao Chen when he returned.

But Qiao Chen didn’t even glance at her!

Then, the woman, Bai Zhen, came over. Although Jenny was very jealous, Bai Zhen was still pregnant. Bai Zhan had the capital, so Jenny obviously couldn’t compare with her.

But Jenny still didn’t give up. She thought that since Bai Zhen was pregnant, she definitely wouldn’t be able to serve Qiao Chen. Wouldn’t it be a chance for her?

Unexpectedly, before she could seduce Qiao Chen, a certain Xu Wan came!

How infuriating!

She didn’t understand how Xu Wan was better than her. Xu Wan’s chest wasn’t even as big as hers. How did she become Qiao Chen’s woman?

…

Xu Wan and Judy left the estate and hailed a cab. They went to the old district where the shops Old Master Qiao had left for Xu Wan were located.

The old district was a far cry from the new district. The streets looked a little archaic, and there were many roadside stalls. Some elderly people had brought out small stools to sunbathe on the roadside. There were no tall buildings in sight, only single-story houses.

Old Master Qiao left Xu Wan with three shops and a courtyard house.

The shops were on two streets and were near one another. The location was not bad, and they were all in areas of high human traffic. Although Xu Wan knew little about business, she could tell that the land value of these shops would definitely be worth hundreds of millions if this area was to be developed in the future.

The courtyard house was in a residential estate and took up a vast area. It was covered in dust and looked a little desolate.

Old Master Qiao had indeed left her good places.

Xu Wan pondered. What could she do with these shops?

A small business?

After she gives birth to her two babies, her expenses would skyrocket. By then, she certainly could not earn that much money by working part time. She had to plan for the future.

Xu Wan took this matter seriously.

When it was close to noon, Judy said to Xu Wan, “Miss, I just found out that the bun shop in front has been open for over ten years. Their buns taste especially good. I’ll queue up to buy some buns for you. Wait for me here!”

Xu Wan nodded and watched Judy jog away.

She stood by the roadside and waited. She was lost in her thoughts when she felt her arm suddenly tighten.

“Yo, it’s really you, my niece!”

A familiar voice startled Xu Wan. She turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a face full of wrinkles smiling at her. Beside him was a woman dressed vulgarly.

“You are…” Xu Wan felt this person looked familiar, but she could not remember who he was.

“I’m your uncle, don’t you remember? This is your auntie. We’ve been looking for you for a long time. Why did you move so impatiently? Why didn’t you tell your uncle about it? I could have helped you move!”

Xu Wan’s uncle glared at her. Then he tugged at her while he asked, “You haven’t eaten yet, right? Uncle’s house is nearby. Come over and have a meal!”

Xu Wan struggled frantically. “No thanks. I’m waiting for my friend. I have something on later. I won’t be going to your house.”

“My child, why are you being so courteous to your uncle…”

The two of them continued tugging at each other for a while, attracting the attention of passers-by. Seeing that Xu Wan was really unwilling to go, her uncle could only let go of her and smile awkwardly. “Wan Wan, have you thought about what Uncle told you previously?”

Xu Wan frowned. Although she didn’t really remember exactly what he told her, she knew her uncle was asking her for money.

“I don’t have money,” Xu Wan said bluntly.

“My child, what are you pretending for? How can you say that you don’t have money when you have tens of billions? We’re a family, and I’m not asking for too much. Your cousin’s marriage is very urgent, so you should be generous and give him a few million. It’s not like you’ll lose a piece of your flesh!”

Her aunt, who was standing beside her uncle, also spoke up. “That’s right. When your cousin has kids, you’ll be their godmother. We’ll be even closer as a family! After your parents died, we have always felt that you were pitiful and wanted to adopt you as our daughter. Now, we have a chance!”

Xu Wan sneered coldly. “After my parents passed away, the moment you heard they didn’t leave me much inheritance, you immediately refused to take me in and refused to let me stay at your house for a day. I had no choice but to stay at the orphanage for a few months. During that time, you didn’t even visit me once. I didn’t receive a single cent of help from you. What right do you have to ask me for millions? And I don’t have the money. Even if I did, I wouldn’t give it to you!”

“You wretched girl, what are you talking about? I’ve been aware that you’re a jinx since long ago. Your father shouldn’t have adopted you back then. You really have no conscience. You don’t acknowledge people after you fall out with them. You ingrate! We’ll expose the fact that you won’t even acknowledge your relatives when you’ve gotten rich to the media.. We’ll ruin your reputation! Just you wait and see…”
