Infinite Wealth

"This Zhang Yan is really shameless!" Sun Min cursed Zhang Yan without hesitation. 

"You two have been together for so long and were already talking about marriage, yet he dares to turn against you over some money? Unbelievable!" 

"You two were bound to get married eventually, so his money is your money, right? If you use it, isn't that perfectly reasonable?" 

In fact, Sun Min had known about Li Chuchu lending money to Li Minghui and had fully supported it. 

Back when Li Chuchu was dating Li Minghui, Sun Min was very satisfied with him because she knew that Li Minghui's family was in business and seemed quite wealthy. 

Unfortunately, Li Minghui left Haicheng at the time, which led to his breakup with Li Chuchu. 

Because of this, Sun Min had scolded Li Chuchu multiple times, thinking that her daughter was too useless for not securing such a rich husband. 

Later, when Li Chuchu got together with Zhang Yan, Sun Min never liked him. 

Zhang Yan was just a small-town guy from Haicheng, a poor boy who couldn't compare to Li Minghui at all. 

Although Sun Min looked down on Zhang Yan, he treated Li Chuchu well. 

So while Sun Min made things difficult for Zhang Yan, she eventually relaxed her standards, saying that if Zhang Yan could buy a house in Haicheng, she would consider letting her daughter marry him. 

When Li Minghui asked to borrow money, Sun Min barely hesitated before urging Li Chuchu to lend it to him. 

After all, the money was meant for Zhang Yan to buy a house. If it was gone, Zhang Yan could always earn more. 

But if they lent the money to Li Minghui, he might appreciate their kindness, and maybe he could become Sun Min's son-in-law after all. 

If Li Minghui succeeded in his startup and became a millionaire, and Li Chuchu married him, their family would never have to worry about money again. 

As for Zhang Yan, who was he? 

Sun Min's plan seemed perfect, but she didn't expect the truth to be exposed today. 

"Mom… stop talking. This isn't the time to blame Zhang Yan… What should I do now?" Li Chuchu sobbed, wiping her tears. 

Sun Min, on the other hand, looked unconcerned and shrugged. "What else can you do? I've always thought Zhang Yan wasn't good enough for you. Now that he's the one asking for a breakup, it's even easier—just break up with him!" 

"But…" Li Chuchu had been with Zhang Yan for three years. It wasn't as if she had no feelings for him. 

After all, in these three years, Zhang Yan had been devoted to her, treating her much better than Li Minghui ever did. 

After thinking for a moment, Li Chuchu finally said, "No, I'll call Zhang Yan. I don't believe he could be so heartless as to just break up with me like this…" 

She reached for her phone to call Zhang Yan. 

But Sun Min quickly snatched it away and scolded, "You fool! Why would you call Zhang Yan? You should be calling Li Minghui! Tell him you broke up—he's smart enough to know what to do next." 

Sun Min's eyes lit up as she continued, "That way, everything works out perfectly! You won't have to sneak around anymore." 

"In fact, have Li Minghui come over in the next couple of days. I'll cook for him, and we can discuss your future together." 

"Listen, Li Minghui is just starting his business—this is when he needs a woman to support him the most. If you seize this opportunity, we'll both be living the good life." 

Hearing this, Li Chuchu became even more frustrated. She stood up and snapped, "Mom, what are you even saying?! What do you mean by 'sneaking around'?! There's nothing between me and Li Minghui!" 

"Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. Do whatever you want. I need to go home and see if Zhang Yan is there." 

With that, Li Chuchu stormed off, leaving her phone behind. 

Sun Min sat there, puzzled. 

"Seriously? Haven't you been keeping both Zhang Yan and Li Minghui as backups this whole time?" 

"Now that I've said it out loud, why are you upset?" 

... 

At this moment, Zhang Yan had already returned home and was packing his things into a suitcase. 

Just as he was about to leave, Li Chuchu arrived. 

Seeing Zhang Yan with a suitcase, she immediately realized he was leaving, and panic set in. 

She blocked the door and asked, "Zhang Yan, where are you going?" 

Zhang Yan looked at Li Chuchu without any emotion. He had no feelings for her anymore and certainly had no reason to be kind. 

"Obviously, I'm leaving. I paid the rent for this place, and there's still three months left. You can stay here if you want. I won't be coming back."
