I've paid back what I owed you
My name is Zhao Yingchu, the youngest top investment analyst in Xiadu.
One night, a car accident led Lu Yi, father of Lu Jinyan, to save my life.
The old man's only request was that I marry his good-for-nothing son.
"Five years. Just five years. Keep an eye on the Lu family, and on him."
I agreed, shackling myself as Mrs. Lu.
For five years, Lu Jinyan mistook my patience for weakness and my protection for a desire to marry above my station.
He doted on Chen Yan and publicly humiliated me at a banquet:
"If my father hadn't forced me, do you think I'd have married you?"
"Without the Lu family, you're nothing, Zhao Yingchu."
Watching his self-righteous expression, I could only laugh.
Yes, there was only one month left in our five-year agreement.
And the roads I had paved for him, the bridges I had built for the Lu family, were already more than enough to repay the debt of my life.
He thought I was nothing without the Lu family,
never realizing that for the past five years, every bit of the glory of being "Xiadu's top company"
had been built by my own hands.
I was waiting for the day he would come crawling to beg me.
I would collect the debt of five years in full, with interest.
Slapping the innocent-looking woman in the face, so satisfying!
