I am not just a tycoon

Meanwhile, in Star City.

Fu Yingzi felt listless at work today, unable to summon much energy, her mind filled with unease. Though her parents and brother had behaved excessively recently, they were still her parents who had raised her, and a brother she grew up with.

Family ties are inseparable.

Had it not been for Shen Yuan, she really wouldn't have thought about taking things this far.

At that moment, her phone rang, and seeing it was a call from lawyer Zhang Shoujin, Fu Yingzi quickly answered.

"Hello, Miss Fu."

On the other end, the voice was polite: "Everything went smoothly, your parents agreed to your demands and signed the trust."

This was within expectations, so Fu Yingzi wasn't surprised. She was more worried about other issues.

"My parents... didn't say anything else, did they?"

"No, they are actually quite concerned about you, and asked about you and Director Shen's situation, but I didn't mention any of that."

Zhang Shoujin didn't reveal the truth; in reality, Fu Yingzi's parents initially reacted with blame and then questioned why her brother wasn't included in the trust.

Even with this situation, Fu Yingzi still worried about her parents' reactions, causing Zhang Shoujin to sigh silently, thinking how a pair of troublesome parents could raise such a sensible daughter.

Lucky or tragic, who knows?

"Got it, thank you, Lawyer Zhang."

"You're welcome, it's my duty. Once I return to the law office, I will prepare the documents and materials to send to you."

"Alright."

Fu Yingzi hung up the phone and glanced at her mobile, noticing a WeChat message from her mom.

As expected, it's effective so quickly; they have stopped making life-threatening consecutive calls.

Mom: "Yingzi, call mom when you have time. I have something to ask you."

Fu Yingzi took a deep breath and dialed, and the call was quickly connected. Yao Cuilan spoke calmly: "Yingzi, you're not busy, are you?"

"No, Mom, go ahead."

"The trust you had the lawyer deliver today, your dad and I have signed it. You were thoughtful, Yingzi. It was wrong of us parents before, don't dwell on it."

?

Fu Yingzi found it odd, what's with mom's attitude today?

The sudden change left Fu Yingzi somewhat uncomfortable.

"Yingzi, I want to ask you, are you and your boss...?"

Fu Yingzi realized that this was what she really wanted to inquire about, so she interrupted: "Mom, ask about something else."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Yao Cuilan understood, feeling more conflicted. Logically, having a daughter with a wealthy man should be something to celebrate, but they had already signed the trust, so no matter how wealthy the man is, it has no relation to them.

She didn't dare bring up her son's issue, fearing any mention might violate the trust agreement, which was truly distressing.

"Nothing else then. Oh, your boss treats you well, right?"

"Very well."

"That's good."

After a brief exchange, Fu Yingzi hung up, exhaling deeply as if lifting a massive weight off her shoulders.

The calls and messages over the past period had been stifling; now she is finally free.

....

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan had already arrived in Yanjing.

He always said he'd visit Zhou Peiwei in Yanjing, but always failed to keep his promise. This time, returning from Sanya, he first visited his parents, then fed the NPCs till they're full, and simply made his way to Yanjing.

This time, however, he didn't notify Zhou Peiwei in advance, only informing Luo Bingying.

Emerging from the airport's VIP channel, Shen Yuan and Ji Ya boarded the Alphard sent by the hotel heading towards the second ring road.

This time Ji Ya had booked at the Qianmen Mandarin Oriental Hotel, located within the second ring's Caochang Alley Community, essentially the core of Yanjing's central axis, a 10-minute walk to Tian'an Gate Court, the Forbidden City, Qianmen Street.

Qianmen Mandarin Oriental Hotel is a top-tier luxury hotel in the country, having just opened this year, with its debut setting new records for domestic hotel room rates.

The entire hotel has 42 rooms, and each is an independent courtyard suite, claiming the Yanjing Mansion's 525-square-meter large courtyard suite, priced at 150,000 per night, equivalent to half a suite in a small place.

Even compared to the Waldorf Courtyard Hotel where Shen Yuan stayed before, this hotel makes quite a difference.

The reception area is at No. 1 Shitiao, where upon getting off the car, a waiting room butler arrives to welcome. The reception area is also an old courtyard renovated, from the exterior, it looks more like a private residence.

The inner courtyard has been made into a pool landscape, with several imposing ancient trees standing in the center, with the pools and flora arranged aesthetically.

Moreover, the surrounding adds many old Yanjing features, such as the Twenty-Eight Gear bikes, Rickshaws, etc.

The hotel's functional areas are here too, such as the spa center, healing spaces, and gym. After checking in, a simple tour takes place, and the room manager leads the two to the suite.

Ji Ya booked the Yanjing Mansion, precisely the 150,000 suite.

It is a bit of a walk, but the hotel provides shuttle service, notably the shuttle has heating, which feels warm during autumn and winter in Yanjing.

Upon entering the suite, the first sight is an expansive courtyard, with other areas divided into a living room, bedroom, and foyer. The suite contains 3 bedrooms in total, each equipped with a king-size bed, all with floor-to-ceiling windows and courtyard views.

The room furnishings and decor are modernized, yet maintaining courtyard characteristics, the roof with a wooden tenon structure, and many old Yanjing art pieces placed around.

Arrival gifts include nuts, chocolates, and sparkling tea, which are rather standard.
