I'll Eat the Tender Grass I Raised Myself [GB] (Next Book)

Opening in October

[Wily, calculating family head X proud, pampered young master of a jewelry house]

1990s | Growing up together | Melodrama | 11-year age gap

In 1990, Shao Hongwen, the jewelry tycoon of Xing City, died of illness. Less than a month later, his eldest son, who had just taken over the family business, and his daughter-in-law died in a car accident.

The battle over the inheritance grew ever more vicious.

One rainy night, ten-year-old Shao Ci staggered up to the Yu family residence with the will in hand, hoping to seek protection from his grandfather's old friend, Old Master Yu.

But the one who opened the door wasn't Old Master Yu. It was Yu Heyan, the biological granddaughter of Yu Zhentian, who had become the new head of the Yu family just minutes earlier.

The young woman wiped the blood from her face with a handkerchief, then looked down at the filthy little boy before her and gestured for the servants to clean up the house.

Shao Ci glimpsed the blood-soaked scene inside and promptly fainted.

The next day, two stories spread across all of Xing City.

First, the trade magnate Yu Zhentian had passed away. After a night of bloodshed, Yu Heyan fought her way through and claimed the position of family head, stepping over the bodies of several uncles.

Second, news that Yu Heyan had adopted the Shao heir got around, becoming the hottest topic in high society and business circles.

Many people condemned Yu Heyan, claiming that what she called adoption was really just a form of imprisonment. With the Shao family's enormous fortune right in front of her, how could the scheming Yu Heyan not covet it?

But the Yu family head never made a single comment.

With Shao Ci adopted, the Shao jewelry business naturally fell into Yu Heyan's hands as well.

Under Yu Heyan's leadership, Shao Jewelry flourished, and the Yu family's influence continued to grow until they became the foremost family in Xing City.

Meanwhile, the Shao heir, Shao Ci, was almost never seen in public.

Rumors spread that Yu Heyan had seized the Shao family's vast fortune and had probably tossed the useless young master into the sea to feed the fish long ago.

The woman lowered the newspaper, full of elaborate conspiracy theories, and glanced at the young man sprawled on her bed. Furrowing her brows, she said in a low voice, "Go back to your own room."

"No!" Shao Ci burrowed under the covers. "You said I could come sleep with you when it thundered!"

Yu Heyan rubbed her forehead, speechless. "That was fine when you were ten. You're an adult now. You can't keep sleeping in my room. What would people think?"

The pampered young master threw a fit and refused to leave. Yu Heyan put down the newspaper, hoisted him over her shoulder, and carried him straight back to his room.

The thunder and lightning outside made Shao Ci burst into tears. Before long, Yu Heyan came to his door with a stern face, carrying her things.

Shao Ci leaped into her arms and clung to her, sobbing uncontrollably and calling her cold-hearted between cries.

Later, Shao Ci lay naked on the bed, crying and accusing her of being a cradle robber.

Yu Heyan rolled him over and pinched his thigh, her voice low. "I raised you. What's wrong with taking a few bites?"
