A life of financial freedom

Although she had been in Shanghai for less than 18 hours, Zhuo Xia had already seen a life she had never experienced in the past 18 years, which made her feel the real world.

The mansion on the Bund, the high-end school, the luxurious life of the two rich girls, and the lavish purchase of various luxury goods... ..., everything shocked her greatly. At this moment, she wanted to go home, miss her parents, and think about repeating her studies.

Although Shanghai is good, it is a complete outsider to her.

Chu Yi put his arm around his childhood friend's shoulder and patted him gently: "It's not easy to come to Shanghai. Let's play for a few days first, and then we will go home together in a few days."

Zhuo Xia's mouth shrank: "I don't have money, you treat me."

"No problem." Chu Yi patted his chest.

"Hehe..."

The three sisters held their arms and went home. The moonlight sprinkled on the three of them, stretching their shadows very long.

Under the moonlight, it was extremely quiet.

Zhuo Xia looked out the window, her eyes flashing with the prosperity of the international metropolis, the splendor and the lights and wine.

... ...

In the next few days, Chu Yi and Zhou Qiong took Zhuo Xia on a tour, visiting all the famous attractions in Shanghai and the Internet celebrity holy places.

After the tour, the three sisters took a plane back to Shudu, their hometown.

Back in the town, Zhuo Xia's parents and Chu Yi's parents were waiting for the three of them. When Zhuo Xia saw her mother Liu Jia, her eyes were red and she hugged her mother's waist: "Mom~~~"

Originally, Liu Jia was full of resentment, but when she saw her daughter's grievance, the resentment disappeared and comforted her daughter: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back."

"I'm sorry, I made you worry."

"It's okay."

"I will study hard, get into a good university, find a good job in the future, and repay you two in the future."

Zhuo Xia's parents were full of relief in their eyes. After going to Shanghai, their daughter seemed to have changed.

At first, Zhuo Xia was a frog in a well and didn't know how big the sky was. But after seeing the lives of her peers, she deeply felt the gap between people.

Those peers not only have good family conditions, but also can endure hardships. They are not as reckless and dandy as those in youth idol TV dramas.

To narrow the gap between herself and those people, learning is the best way.

"Yi Yi, this is for you." Zhuo Xia handed the handbag and necklace she got to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi shook his head: "They gave it to you."

"I don't have that much face. They gave it to you. I don't want it." Zhuo Xia understood that she and the two young ladies were not related, and there was a reason why they gave her such a big gift. She stuffed the two things into Chu Yi's arms:

"I can't afford such expensive things. I'm afraid I'll be kidnapped when I walk outside one day. Besides, it's not my own thing, so I'm not comfortable using it. Sooner or later, I will buy it with my own ability."

Chu Yi tilted her head and looked at her childhood friend. She was very pleased with her childhood friend's changes. Without saying much, she took the two things, and then Zhuo Xia and her family left.

"Qiong Qiong, you are so amazing." Chu Yi took Zhou Qiong's arm, and his voice was full of admiration.

At this moment, she knew why Zhou Qiong took Zhuo Xia and the two classmates shopping. Only after seeing the real world and the prosperity, she would understand the meaning of learning.

What happened that day will always inspire Zhuo Xia to work hard in life.

"I'm just trying it." Zhou Qiong smiled.

"Then let's go, let's go home." Qian Liyan said.

Zhou Qiong pursed her lips: "Auntie, I want to go back to my own home."

Qian Liyan wanted to persuade the girl in front of her, but Chu Yi pulled her mother's sleeve, and the former shut up, while the latter lifted Zhou Qiong's hair behind her ears and said softly: "Well, Qiong Qiong, you should also go to your grandparents and show them that you are living a good life and have not suffered any grievances. Please help me pray to my grandparents and bless me to enter a good university."

As he said, Chu Yi showed a bright smile on his face, and Zhou Qiong nodded.

Seeing Zhou Qiong leaving, Chu Yi sighed softly.

Her home is not Zhou Qiong's home. It would be better for Zhou Qiong to let her best friend go than to stay and suffer.

Chu Yi went home, and the entire Chu family had arrived, including Chu's father, Chu's mother, grandparents, and grandpa and grandma.

"Oh, my little sister is back." Chu's mother was very happy when she saw Chu Yi. She looked her up and down and said, "Well... she is getting prettier and more elegant."

"It's the same with my stepmother."

"That's right!"

The family gathered together to eat.

"How did you do in the exam?" Chu Feng asked.

Chu Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, it's over. Don't ask such a disappointing question. The results will be out in a few days.You will know naturally."

"That's right." Qian Liyan agreed with her daughter's statement.

"By the way, how are your brother and your sister-in-law? Do you have a good relationship? Have you had any conflicts? ... ..." Chu's mother stretched her neck and asked curiously.

Chu Yi thought of the sweetness of the two and the cake that Zhong Tingyue made for them before leaving. His face turned and twisted.

Is it good or bad?

It's really a headache.

... ...

Zhou Qiong's home is in the countryside. It is a very dilapidated house. This is the house of Zhou Qiong's grandparents, carrying all her childhood memories.

No one has lived there for more than a year. It has not been mended and has withered in the wind and sun.

She walked around the dilapidated house, opened the door, looked at the empty and dusty house, fell into a daze, sighed, and closed the door.

"Ah, who are you? Why can you open this house? Ah, this is not Zhou Qiong. I haven't seen you for a long time. "As soon as she turned around, she ran into the old lady next door, who was looking at her in surprise, "Where have you been? You've grown up so much, and the whole person is very different from before, like the rich lady in the TV series."

Today, Zhou Qiong wore a soft dress with delicate patterns embroidered on the hem, and she looked like a girl. Her long and smooth hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall. Her skin was white, like delicate porcelain, with a faint blush, and she looked healthy and full of vitality.

Although Zhou Qiong was still simple and elegant, she had lived in the Magic City School for a year, surrounded by rich young men and young ladies. Under their influence, she exuded an elegant temperament.

It might not be seen in the Magic City, but in a small town or even a township, the whole person was particularly different, even like a star in the night sky, shining brightly.
