Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Su Xiaoxi still has a strong sense of filial piety.

Her grandparents are nearly seventy, having lived in the countryside their whole lives.

Now that they're in Peng City, their house suddenly seems small.

Su Xiaoxi is well aware that her grandparents are just the first wave, more will definitely come later.

There's no other reason, she has over a billion in funds in her hands, which is no small amount for an average family.

Most ordinary families can't even fathom it.

When her grandmother fell ill, Mrs. Su took her to the hospital, and the results showed a severe illness requiring a heart bypass surgery.

If treated at a decent hospital in Peng City, it would cost at least two to three hundred thousand.

It's not much money, but for the Old Su Family, it is a huge sum.

Especially knowing Su Xiaoxi has over a billion, no relatives were willing to pitch in.

Su Xiaoxi paid all the medical bills in advance.

Each time she spent more money from her account, the pressure on her grew a bit.

Even if the amount seemed insignificant, it felt the same.

Upon knowing she had money, many relatives started scheming.

Someone's family lacked two hundred thousand for a bride price, another needed fifty thousand for a house.

If Su Xiaoxi didn't give, all relatives would say she was heartless.

What's this small change compared to holding over a billion?

Mrs. Su informing hometown relatives she had over a billion led to an inevitable result.

She also wanted to use these family ties to force her daughter to make the right decision.

The fact was clear in front of everyone.

Chen Lu squandered over five billion in just a few months.

If spent on the family, over a million would make all relatives grateful.

Two outcomes: one brings infinite income but also high risks.

She should gamble the remaining fifteen billion for a chance to marry into a wealthy family or keep the money to ensure a worry-free life for generations.

Setting moral high ground aside, Mrs. Su was sure that over ninety percent of ordinary people would choose the second path.

Fifteen billion would certainly last the family for over a century.

Even putting it in a bank for fixed interest, annual income would be over twenty million.

Over twenty million, how many households have this annual income?

Mrs. Su's entire family pressured Su Xiaoxi to make a choice, between all her relatives and Chen Lu.

No matter what Su Xiaoxi chose, she had already spent over a million on her family, a fact that remained.

More and more relatives came, and Mrs. Su even secretly bought a big house in Peng City with her card.

More than 380 square meters, with no shared space, luxuriously decorated.

With such a house, even living with over ten people wouldn't feel cramped at all.

Improving the family's living conditions further.

After finding out, Su Xiaoxi cried a lot, but she couldn't blame her own mother or dare to tell Chen Lu about it.

So yes, being well-matched in family background is really necessary.

Once the gap is too big, lifestyle pace, and attitudes towards money, they're completely different.

Seeing her mother in high spirits about the spacious house, even though it cost over twenty million from the card, it was comfortable to live in.

Besides, she bought herself a Panamera costing over a million.

The remaining money, except for a small portion for family expenses, was all put into a bank's fixed deposit.

No investing means doing no investments, even with over a billion in savings, yearly interest is twenty million.

This is more than enough for Mrs. Su, no matter how, mother and daughter couldn't spend twenty million in a year.

Mrs. Su didn't completely dash Chen Lu's hopes, deep down she still wished her daughter could marry Chen Lu.

But that guy, he disappointed her.

Just a few months, and over five billion vanished, give him another year, and there might be nothing left.

Quitting while ahead, isn't that the financial wisdom of common folks like them?

Mrs. Su outright forced her daughter to make a choice.

The choice was, never to daydream again, but to live a peaceful, moderately prosperous life.

A life where there's no worry about money or fears about anything every day.

What could be better than this?

It's just losing a bit of love, but how long can love retain its value?

As someone who has been through it, Mrs. Su knows the value of over a billion too well.

This kind of wealth could outbuy countless young romances and love stories.

Xiao Xi… don't blame mom; mom is just making the right choice for you.

Su Xiaoxi, like a puppet, during the happiest months, was forced by her family to choose a path she didn't like.

Exchanging her own suffering for the prosperity of her entire family and relatives.

If there were any other way, Mrs. Su might not have chosen this, but she knew, if she didn't choose now, it would be too late.

Mrs. Su used the shortest time to buy a large luxury flat for the family with the money from Su Xiaoxi's card.

Also, she got a luxury car in no time and treated her parents' illnesses.

Then she helped the financially struggling relatives solve their immediate difficulties.

If according to relatives, Mrs. Su was truly a great person, the savior of the whole family.

If according to Su Xiaoxi's thoughts, she only felt her mother's terrifying nature.

Because she claimed money that didn't belong to her as completely hers.

Even though Chen Lu's father didn't mind this kind of money, it didn't mean they should indulge in greed just because their family had plenty.

This was the first time she felt her mother's terrifying side and somewhat understood Chen Lu's mother's strong attitude.

After all, who would want their precious child to marry into such a family?

But was her mother wrong?

Actually not, she merely made the best choice for her daughter, based on her own perspective.

An ill-matched marriage lacks more than emotions.

There's also the disparity in sense of value and perception.

While Chen Lu was still trying his best to help her pass his father's assessment, her mother had already made the decision for her.

A fixed deposit passbook, a twenty-year term, meaning Su Xiaoxi could only withdraw twenty million in interest annually for the next twenty years.

Depending on this interest, she could indeed live well, but that wasn't what she wanted.

It was merely her mother's wish.

At the end of September, Chen Lu excitedly came to find Su Xiaoxi to tell her he had an excellent investment plan.

This plan wasn't told by others, but by his second sister Chen Xinyi.

He begged Chen Xinyi for a long time, which finally led her to secretly reveal some information.

It was about a foreign tech company they invested in for three years.

It had been unknown for three years but recently made a major breakthrough.

Developing a highly disruptive technology, once officially released, the company's valuation and market cap would at least increase five to ten times.

This way, Xiao Xi could absolutely pass her father's test and eventually become his wife as she wishes.

Su Xiaoxi said nothing, only strolling under the sunset.
