“Su Yao, hand over the jade pendant and get your grandfather a better hospital room!”
Shen Ruoqi stands at the Su family’s door, waving a fake contract, while hired thugs swing hammers at it. The Su family has gone bankrupt, and her grandfather needs money to survive. The Shen family is even trying to seize their ancestral brocade pendant.
Su Yao clutches it tightly. The pendant is burning hot!
[LV9 “Accountant’s Eye” activated: The contract is a trap. It mortgages the ancestral home, with interest so steep you’ll have to sell a kidney!]
She slaps the contract against Shen Ruoqi’s face. “Couldn’t you make your forgery a little more convincing?”
Turning around, she crashes into someone’s arms. Long Yutian grips her chin. “Sign a contract with me. I’ll take on the debt, and you’ll be mine.”
“Long Lord, I’m afraid I can’t accept your kindness.” She bites her lip. “I only feel sorry for you.”
Shen’s father declares, “That girl won’t live through the week”?
The pendant’s “Little Money Lover” warns her. She earns enough for the surgery in three days at the night market, then livestreams evidence of the Shen Group’s tax evasion, sending its stock price plunging by half.
An insider steals the company’s technology?
“Echoes of the Past” flashes back, and she sends the proof straight to the police. The Long Lord offers her the Long family’s supply chain. “Need resources? Take them.”
The Long matriarch calls her a “down-and-out nobody”?
He slaps a share transfer document on the table. “My wife is the CEO of Brocade. Her cash flow is stronger than the Long family’s.”
The pendant reveals a photo of her mother with the Long Lord’s father. Su Yao goes cold all over.
Was it true that her mother ran off with the money and faked her disappearance?
The Long Lord’s grandfather is trembling. What other secrets is he hiding?
From “bankrupt heiress” to ruthless player in the world of finance, Su Yao asks, “The pendant holds more than money, doesn’t it?”
Long Yu wraps his arms around her and fits his dragon-patterned ring into the groove in the pendant. “You’re my woman. I won’t leave you to handle this alone. I’ll help you dig up the truth.”
[Strong heroine takes down scumbags + Long Lord fiercely protects his own + pendant conceals three generations of secrets]
“The contract is over.” Su Yao rises onto her toes and kisses him. “Let’s renew it for life. Dare you?”
He bites the corner of her lip and grins. “One more condition: our twins take the Su surname, after their mother.”
