Mysterious Origins

Yan Family Manor.

Liu Di and Yan Qingwen had barely entered the main hall when they caught a burnt smell.

Following the scent, the two arrived at the kitchen.

The moment they pushed open the door.

The kitchen was filled with thick smoke, so choking they could barely open their eyes!

"Hehe, Third Sister, Liu Di!"

As the smoke cleared, Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin stood in the kitchen, their faces blackened with soot.

On the table before them sat a tightly covered dish.

"The two of us spent a whole two hours making dinner for Liu Di!"

"Cough, cough. What are you two doing?"

Yan Qingwen asked with a frown.

"We did something wrong before, so we want to apologize to Liu Di!"

"To show our sincerity, we cooked for the first time in our lives, all for Liu Di!"

The two girls said in unison.

"Liu Di, come over here! Hurry and try it!"

Yan Kaikai grabbed Liu Di and pulled him to the table, her face full of anticipation.

"Uh, all right."

Liu Di scratched his head, never expecting this.

The Yan Family's two young ladies did everything with fiery enthusiasm!

He gently lifted the cover.

A plume of black smoke rose up like a wandering soul.

"Wh-what is this?"

Liu Di stared blankly at the plate of blackened charcoal before him.

"Golden egg fried rice! We learned it from you, except we got the heat a little too high!"

The two girls stuck out their tongues.

"Liu Di, we really tried our best! We hope you won't hold it against us. You just have to take one bite."

'Ding. Benzopyrene detected. It is one of the most carcinogenic toxins recognized worldwide. Not only is it found in coal smoke and exhaust emissions from cars, tractors, and the like, it is also found in burnt food—such as that plate of scorched rice in front of you!'

Hearing Magic Child's warning, Liu Di instinctively stepped back twice.

"Stop right there!"

"I forgive you two!"

"Haha, that's great! Liu Di, enjoy it slowly!"

Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, then dragged Yan Qingwen outside the kitchen.

The instant they stepped out, the two girls became nervous.

"Third Sister, there's something we need to tell you..."

"What is it?"

Yan Qingwen frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

Yan Kaikai nervously took out the bank card and held it out to Yan Qingwen.

"This...?"

"This is the bank card Father gave Liu Di. There are five million in it, untouched. Liu Di left it in the sunroom on the fifth floor!"

"What?"

Yan Qingwen's eyes widened in shock.

Yan Kaikai fidgeted. "And a few days ago, right after Liu Di got the card, he left it there. Xin Xin and I secretly hid it."

"What??"

Yan Qingwen was even more shocked.

"In other words, Liu Di never intended to take our family's money from the very beginning. And he isn't the kind of person we thought he was."

"Xin Xin and I wanted Liu Di to be misunderstood and then driven out!"

Yan Kaikai said with a complicated expression.

"What???"

Yan Qingwen's mind went blank.

Scene after scene flashed through her mind.

Liu Di had casually bought two hundred outfits at once, spending two hundred thousand.

Liu Di had calmly swiped his card to buy a top luxury lighter, spending one million.

Liu Di had tilted his head and smiled as he told her that he had left four million for Grandpa Tuo.

Yan Qingwen was stunned.

If he didn't take that card...

Then where did he get his money?

Wasn't Liu Di a poor man who used to survive on part-time jobs?

And more importantly...

He came to the Yan Family without being after money?

Then what exactly was he after?

Could it really be what he said—me?

Impossible!

Liu Di spends every day acting like he won't be satisfied until he pisses me off to death!

Yan Qingwen suddenly shook her head, completely baffled and overwhelmed with confusion!

Seeing the ever-changing expression on her third sister's face, Yan Kaikai said awkwardly, "Also, Liu Di is actually very rich..."

"What do you mean, very rich?" Yan Qingwen raised an eyebrow.

"Liu Di might have one hundred million. Two hundred million."

Yan Kaikai counted on her fingers.

Then she froze.

She had wanted to tell Yan Qingwen exactly how much Liu Di possessed.

But she suddenly remembered.

From beginning to end, that casino manager had never said how much money Liu Di actually had on his card!

"Liu Di has assets worth over one hundred million?"

Yan Qingwen asked blankly.

"More than that."

"One billion?"

"At least ten billion! We don't know the exact amount either!"

"What?"

Yan Qingwen was stunned once more.

Ten billion?

That was enough to make the Sea City rich list!

Him?

How was that possible?

Although Yan Qingwen was the daughter of the richest man,

she had always earned her own money through her work at Yingzhi.

Over the past three years, even with the advantages her father had given her, her savings had only barely reached one hundred million!

Liu Di had assets worth ten billion?

That was equal to a hundred of her?

Thinking of how stingy Liu Di usually seemed, Yan Qingwen simply could not connect the two!
