The Richest Man Wants to Make Me His Adopted Son?

Inside the dining room of the Yan Family Manor's main building.

Liu Di, the Yan family's four daughters, and Ouyang Fengyu sat on opposite sides of a classical European-style long table.

The important figure had yet to make an appearance, so everyone waited quietly.

Sitting across from Liu Di was the third young miss, Yan Qingwen.

She had changed into a short black evening dress, adding a touch of nobility to her already breathtaking beauty.

Liu Di was not merely admiring the beautiful figure before him.

Instead, he deliberately—or perhaps casually—observed Ouyang Fengyu in the distance.

Ouyang Fengyu had once again assumed a refined and scholarly demeanor.

What was with that superhuman strength of his?

Could he have practiced some kind of dark art?

At times he was gentle and elegant, at others utterly foolish, yet he could conceal his emotions even in a fit of rage?

That kind of scheming was the most terrifying!

It seemed this live-in son-in-law was far more mysterious than Liu Di had imagined!

But in the end, Liu Di shrugged helplessly.

Forget it. Starting tomorrow, I'll have nothing to do with the Yan family. Whoever Ouyang is, it has nothing to do with me!

Cough, cough.

Several mildly authoritative coughs sounded.

An imposing old man slowly emerged from the staircase, led by the old butler.

[Yan Hongxin, 75 years old;

Chairman of Yingzhi Group;

The group focused on fields such as medical devices and life sciences;

The richest man in Sea City, ranked 27th on China's rich list;

Passionate about charity in his later years, having donated nearly 3 billion yuan free of charge to build elementary schools and hospitals;

Established the Vegetative Patient Awakening Charity Foundation, specifically funding families of vegetative patients facing financial hardship.]

Demon Eye's information arrived at once, and Liu Di saw everything clearly.

Old Master Yan was rich!

And kind-hearted as well—a great philanthropist!

Tsk, tsk.

Liu Di silently admired him, and the respect in his gaze toward the old man deepened.

"So you're Liu Di. You truly are an outstanding young man!"

Old Master Yan came before him with a kind and sincere smile.

"That's me. Hello, Old Master Yan." Liu Di rose to greet him.

"Let's sit down and talk."

Old Master Yan sat in the seat of honor. Though his body was hunched, he still exuded an invisible authority.

"Liu Di, my Wenwen has been pampered since childhood and has a cold personality. I was afraid she might neglect her benefactor, so I specifically invited you here to thank you personally."

With a smile in his eyes, Old Master Yan looked at Liu Di. "Liu Di, I'm truly sorry. We failed to do right by you. It took us a full three years to find you."

Liu Di smiled and nodded. He did not harbor much resentment.

Over the past three years, he had come to terms with everything.

Old Master Yan continued, "I wonder whether you know anything about Yingzhi Group, or about me, Yan Hongxin?"

The moment he finished speaking, countless pieces of information flooded Liu Di's eyes.

All of it concerned Yingzhi Group.

One of China's top 500 companies.

A medical device giant.

A market value nearing one trillion yuan.

The lines of information nearly dazzled him blind.

"I know a little." Liu Di scratched his head and chuckled.

"Good!"

Old Master Yan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Then I'll be direct. Liu Di, would you be willing to become my adopted son? Become part of the Yan family, enjoy wealth and glory, and care for me in my old age until my death?"

"Father?"

"You'd better think this over more carefully!"

A row of Yan family members immediately rose to their feet, with Ouyang Fengyu reacting the most fiercely.

They had heard before that their father had such intentions, but they had not expected him to say it so soon!

"No need to think it over. I want to take Liu Di as my adopted son!"

Old Master Yan spoke solemnly, but his gaze remained fixed on Liu Di's artificial eye.

"Dad, you can't do this. Liu Di has no manners. Just now, he—"

Yan Kaikai was about to bring up the archery competition, but suddenly remembered its final outcome and could only swallow the rest of her words.

"Father, he did save me, but there's no need for us to repay him like this."

Yan Qingwen also wore an expression of utter disbelief.

Ouyang Fengyu said excitedly, "Father, didn't we agree before that we would first let him join the group's senior management and give him a certain amount of shares? Why have you changed your mind now? You're being far too hasty!"

So that was it!

As the person at the center of all this, Liu Di finally understood. No wonder Ouyang Fengyu had targeted me the moment we met!

He was afraid I'd take away the Yan family's shares!

"Sit down, all of you!"

Old Master Yan glared angrily. "What do you know? Liu Di had his Right Eye removed back then in order to save Qingwen!"

"So what? We can give him money!" Ouyang Fengyu said unwillingly.

Old Master Yan looked at Liu Di, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes. "You have no idea how difficult Liu Di's life has been these past three years. Because of his injured eye, he could only survive by taking part-time jobs everywhere, and..."

"Because of nerve infection in that injured eye, Liu Di will go completely blind after three years. He's only twenty-five!"

At this point, the old man closed his eyes in pain. "Our Yan family owes Liu Di far too much."

"What?!"

Yan Qingwen's body trembled instantly, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Liu Di became extremely complicated.

Even Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin, who had been so lively before, instantly fell silent. They had not known that Liu Di was going blind!

Old Master Yan turned to Liu Di and apologized, "I'm sorry, Liu Di. I hope you don't mind that I investigated your background."

Liu Di stood frozen, unable to put his feelings into words.

What Old Master Yan said was true, but that was all in the past!

Now that he had obtained Demon Eye, not only had his condition been halted, but he had also gained unimaginable abilities!

"Well..."

Liu Di scratched his head and was just about to speak when his stomach suddenly growled.

Then came a wave of hunger—an overwhelmingly intense one!

It felt as though he would pass out at once if he did not eat immediately!

Liu Di, when I helped you synthesize muscle fibers earlier, I nearly depleted all the protein and stored glycogen in your body!

Your body is currently in a state of low blood sugar, low blood lipids, and low body fat. I recommend eating immediately!

Why didn't you say so earlier?!

At the sight of the appetizers on the table, Liu Di instantly lost control!

Ignoring everything around him, he grabbed the food and began wolfing it down!

"Why is he so hungry?"

The Yan family members were left dumbfounded!

"He really is as pitiful as Father said!"

The corners of the twin beauties' mouths twitched in shock.

"Hurry and bring Liu Di more food!" Old Master Yan hurriedly called out.

Ding. Sugar intake detected. Blood glucose is beginning to recover.

Beef protein intake detected. 0.3 grams of muscle fiber synthesized. Muscle strength increased by 1.6%.

Vitamin B complex and cod liver oil intake detected. Vision improved by 0.8%.

With every bite Liu Di took, one of his abilities improved!

And different foods actually had different effects!
