This amount of money is not a small sum for Chen's mother; it probably emptied most of her savings, as Chen Youming's wedding had already cost a considerable amount.

"Mom, what do I need so much money for?"

"Sigh, last time Mom was asleep, your brother secretly used my phone and I found out. Your dad beat him up. This money was originally prepared for your wedding anyway, so it doesn't matter whether we give it to you sooner or later."

Yao Feiran thought that Chen Youming was using all his tricks on his own people.

Yao Feiran didn't care much about Chen Youming, but since Chen's mother was his biological mother, he couldn't completely ignore her. He could only wait until Chen's mother and the others gave up completely.

Yao Feiran returned to school quickly, and right after graduating from her senior year, Xiao Qiusheng proposed to her.

Xiao Qiusheng knew that Yao Feiran didn't like grand ceremonies, so he simply brought out a bouquet of flowers and a ring during their meal together.

Under the lights, his features appeared much more defined, and when he wasn't smiling, he exuded an aura of authority.

But now, there is trepidation and urgency in his eyes, and one can still vaguely see the shy appearance of his youth.

Yao Feiran smiled enigmatically: "You're so young, and you're already preparing for marriage so hastily? You know I only know how to spend money."

Xiao Qiusheng smiled and said, "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. My parents' relationship was not close, and you have always been by my side. Moreover, I know you are very capable. The projects I invested in back then were all proposed by you."

His voice began to hoarse: "I know you can live well even without me. It's always been me who's afraid of losing you, me who can't live without you."

Yao Feiran stared at Xiao Qiusheng. As Xiao Qiusheng's company grew larger and larger, she couldn't be sure if he would betray her one day.

Even if two people are childhood sweethearts, human nature can change in an instant.

She smiled, reached out and put the ring on her finger.

Now she has the resources to make mistakes, and there's no need to treat all feelings as a raging flood.

That evening, Yao Feiran told Chen's mother about it and said she wanted to bring Xiao Qiusheng back to see her.

Because the phone was on speakerphone, Chen's father was frantic: "How old are you? Why are you in such a hurry to get married!"

Mr. Chen thought that his daughter was so outstanding, which brat could possibly be good enough for her?

"He was my classmate in junior high school. We've known each other for a long time, and we went to the same university. But his background is a bit complicated. I'll tell you about it when we get back."

Chen's mother's expression softened considerably: "You've known each other for so long, Fei Ran must have thought it through. Let's bring her back to meet us."

When Xiao Qiusheng had some free time, Yao Feiran went back with him.

Now that Chen's mother has retired, she looks much older. After learning about Xiao Qiusheng's background, she suddenly felt sorry for him, but Yao Feiran did not say that it was the Xiao family of Haicheng.

Xiao Qiusheng was handsome and polite, and Chen's mother quickly accepted him as her son-in-law. Although Chen's father wanted to keep a straight face, he could only force a stiff smile after being hit a few times by Chen's mother.

"We'll get our marriage certificate in a few days. As for the wedding, we're planning a destination wedding. We're too lazy to have a banquet anyway, and his parents probably won't be able to attend."

As for Chen's father's relatives, there weren't many worth inviting, and they weren't short of money for gifts.

"Hey, you have a strong opinion, I won't say anything else."

When their daughter suddenly said she wanted to get married, Mr. and Mrs. Chen felt a void in their hearts.

"Mom, it's only been a few months, but you look so haggard. What happened at home?"

Chen's mother remained silent, but Chen's father spoke up: "It's your sister-in-law. She had a baby, so she asked your mother to take care of it. But after your mother went there, the two of them didn't get along and often argued. Your sister-in-law didn't want your mother to bring the baby here to take care of it."

"Then we won't bring them. You never promised to bring the children anyway, and they wanted to get married on their own."

"How can that be? They don't have much money and they still have to work. I'm fine. Once I start kindergarten, it won't be so hard."

Yao Feiran said solemnly, "Dad, Mom, I'm serious. You've already raised him and helped him get married. Are you going to take care of him for the rest of your life? I don't lack money. Qiusheng runs a company in the capital. You don't need to put up with this. Come live with me in the capital. I was originally planning to take you there to retire."

Mr. and Mrs. Chen exchanged a glance. Mr. Chen was itching to make a move. Over the years, Chen Youming had worn down his patience. Now, all he talked about was money. He had no hope for this son. Fortunately, he had this daughter. Luckily, he hadn't believed his mother's words that daughters were useless. If they had relied on this son, then they would have been truly useless.

A few days later, Chen's mother still refused.

Yao Feiran was at a loss. Chen's mother couldn't completely give up on her son right now. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll hire a nanny for them."

Chen's mother explained, "No need. I'll come over when you need me in the future. I'm still young and can do some work. You should save your money."

Yao Feiran had no choice. Chen's mother's generation always felt that they should help their children as much as possible. They would help whoever was having a hard time. Moreover, she did not expect her well-off children to unconditionally support the other children.

After staying at home for a while, before leaving, Chen's mother gave her the gold jewelry that she had collected in the safe for many years: "I always wanted to have a daughter. After you were born, I thought I would save some things for you. These are all your dowry. I don't like wearing these."

Yao Feiran paused for a moment, then, seeing Chen's mother's cheerful expression, she accepted it readily.

The two returned to the capital, and Yao Feiran began to spend money on things—mainly on charity and work related to combating human trafficking.

Whenever he had free time, Xiao Qiusheng would accompany her to travel to impoverished areas across the country. He had a difficult childhood, but now that he was wealthy, he felt that helping others was the best way to alleviate the pain that had haunted him for so long.

A few years later, Xiao Qiusheng's company merged into a group, headquartered in an office building in the center of the capital. Yao Feiran was waiting for him to leave work together. When Xiao Qiusheng drove out of the company gate, a woman suddenly blocked his way.

Xiao Qiusheng slammed on the brakes, and the force of the impact caused him to lurch forward. He turned to Yao Feiran in a panic and asked, "Feiran, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Did you hit anyone?"

Xiao Qiusheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yao Feiran was alright, but then anger flashed in his eyes. Usually, Xiao Qiusheng was driven around by a driver, but this time he finally had some free time and the couple could have some alone time, and then this mess happened.

He opened the car door, and his good manners prevented him from swearing. The woman opposite him kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I didn't mean to."

Yao Feiran recognized the woman.

This is not Yang Jiaoyao, Xiao Qiusheng's wife in the original story. Later, she stole Xiao Qiusheng's company secrets for Xiao Chenxiu and cheated on Xiao Qiusheng. In the end, she was sent to prison.

"This is the exit of the garage. Be careful next time."

Xiao Qiusheng wasn't in the mood to talk to the woman, so he turned and got into his car. Unexpectedly, Yang Jiao walked over and said with a complicated expression, "Mr. Xiao, my name is Yang Jiao. I graduated from Yuda University and I admire you very much. I have three years of experience as a general manager's assistant. I saw your announcement that you were recruiting a president's assistant, but the deadline has passed. I wonder if I can recommend myself?"

Yang Jiao spoke with composure and clarity, and her attire was also very professional; she made a good first impression.

Xiao Qiusheng coldly refused: "Sorry, the positions are already full."

At this moment, Yang Jiao also saw Yao Feiran in the passenger seat, and her face instantly turned pale.

"Mr. Xiao, who is this?"

"This is my wife."

Yao Feiran doesn't like to be in the public eye, and most people have assumed that Xiao Qiusheng is still single all these years.

Yang Jiao almost lost her balance, and Yao Feiran wondered if she was some kind of reincarnation.

The Fate-Defying Bead: "Correct!"
