Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

Pity, Chen Lu doesn't appreciate it.

Chen Pingsheng was in his office, which was filled with books, and he would occasionally browse through them.

When Shen Xi came in, the secretary had already made her tea.

"Chen..."

"Xiao Xi, this time Chen asked you to come to say I'm sorry."

Shen Xi was very smart, she understood immediately and smiled lightly, "You don't need to apologize to me, Chen. I just wasn't fortunate enough to become your daughter-in-law."

"It's not that you weren't fortunate, it's my son who wasn't fortunate enough to marry you."

Chen Pingsheng took out a file from the drawer and handed it to Shen Xi, saying, "This is a small investment fund I established overseas six years ago. I've already signed the document, if you like it, you can sign your name too, as a small compensation for your years of effort from me."

Shen Xi took it and glanced at it; to call this investment fund small is only relative to the person in front of her.

In reality, it possesses net assets including a building at the central location of Wall Street and combined stock worth about over 20 billion.

This fund is essentially equivalent to a large portion of the Shen Family's assets.

A family with a few billion is considered a wealthy family anywhere.

But even among wealthy families, there are tiers.

Without a doubt, Chen Pingsheng's compensation to Shen Xi would certainly leave no complaints from the Shen Family.

It would also allow Shen Xi to attain complete financial freedom.

As she left, Song Yanxi came out and said "pity" three times.

It's not a pity for that bit of money, hundreds of billions are nothing to them now.

What she meant was the pity of losing Shen Xi as an ideal daughter-in-law.

Today's conversation also meant that Shen Xi no longer had to wait for Chen Lu to marry her.

She was free, and truly free this time.

...

At the moment she stepped out, Shen Xi even thought the air was fresh.

Being arranged next to Chen Lu all these years, saying she had no feelings at all for him would be a lie.

Though in truth, she had to act like the magnanimous little princess of an aristocratic family, not asking Chen Lu about Su Xiaoxi.

Nor asking if he liked her.

Everything was about quietly giving, quietly being arranged by the family.

Only in this way could the Shen Family gain the guilt from the Old Chen Family through her alone.

Don't underestimate this guilt. If it weren't for her being arranged, the Shen Family wouldn't be so smooth sailing all these years.

The Modu Chen Family is the family of families.

Globally recognized; being their potential daughter-in-law was the Shen Family's fortune.

Except for Shen Xi herself.

Since middle school, she was like a puppet orchestrated by the family, chosen by others.

From today onwards, Shen Xi no longer needed to accept any arrangements; she was finally free.

Upon leaving, Shen Xi's first action was to declare independence from the Shen Family.

She had an older brother and sister, and the reason all Shen Family members had smooth lives in the past decade was that she was a standby daughter-in-law to Chen Family for ten years.

But today, she could finally change her life.

She could be her own wealthy woman now, relying on the overseas investment fund given by Chen Pingsheng.

Among China's 15-ers, she's the richest.

With net worth of 30 billion.

As long as she's steady, she can enjoy a carefree life forever.

In school, Shen Xi had many suitors, none dared approach, nor could she accept them.

Now she was considering her first romance in life.

She wanted one where she felt attracted to, and mutually appreciated.

After Shen Xi's side was done talking, Chen Pingsheng invited Su Xiaoxi to his office.

Without any pleasantries, he shared his decision with her directly.

She could marry Chen Lu, the condition being she must have children within two years, at least two or three within five years.

One of them must be a boy, ideally two boys.

He's already fifty-three, and the next generation must be nurtured in the remaining years.

Only this way can the centennial family plan truly be completed.

And as more children came into the family, the selection increased.

Su Xiaoxi knew this step from the start when being nurtured by Chen Pingsheng, but never expected it to proceed so seamlessly.

"Will Chen Lu's mother agree?"

"At first, she wasn't too agreeable, but you resemble her younger self quite remarkably, I spoke good words for you, so in the end, she'll certainly agree."

The Su Xiaoxi family weren't particularly good relatives.

Even more troublesome than when his sister Chen Qi married Hu Lin initially.

But these troubles are mere trivial matters for their family.

In the future, Chen Lu wouldn't need to associate with Su Xiaoxi's relatives, the family disparity is too vast.

They only accepted Su Xiaoxi, not her family's relatives.

"Chen, I am willing."

Su Xiaoxi knew gratitude, without Chen Pingsheng's nurturing, her academic excellence would only lead to a step-by-step job post-graduation.

High achievement would mean earning a million a year after working a few years.

And the best-case would be becoming a multimillionaire by thirty.

She could never live as she does now, investing billions yearly, enjoying billions of risk-free profit.

She'd already achieved full financial freedom, even if she doesn't marry Chen Lu.

Her future would not be much different.
