Chapter 1
Zhao Suyan? Hong Dou also felt quite surprised
Hong Dou is very worried about Zeng Weiyi, mainly because her attire appears out of place in the village, making her an easy target. Zeng Weiyi originally wanted to change into some simple and plain clothes, but after browsing a few clothing stores, she couldn't make up her mind and found it difficult to try anything on. Zeng Weiyi is an extremely beauty-conscious woman; she cannot tolerate even a hint of being inappropriate. In simple terms, she is a superficial person who judges others by their appearance.
Why does Lin Musen clearly like me, yet he doesn't confess his feelings? Does he want me to take the first step? That would be too embarrassing, I refuse to do it. At that moment, Zeng Weiyi wore a frown for the first time, yet still maintained her pride as a young lady
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to meet Ji Qixuan
Red Bean asks again: "Do you still want to do that? Do not do things that will make you regret yourself anymore"
"I am speaking the truth." Zeng Qian's eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Zeng Weiyi with a glimmer. Hong Dou was taken aback; Zeng Qian was increasingly resembling that heartless man. She could never understand why Weiyi would choose to have a child with that man. As beautiful as she was, did she not fear her figure becoming distorted? Fortunately, the still beautiful Zeng Weiyi in front of her was well-maintained.
The housing village is not comparable to the affluent residences in those shallow bays, which are well-equipped. It is a welfare rental housing provided by the government for individuals whose income falls below the standards set by the government. The rooms are small, the population is diverse, and there is rarely any police patrol. The street life is vibrant, and incidents of theft and robbery are frequent.
Ji Qixuan will be present
Moreover
In a certain village market, a tall woman dressed in an extremely eye-catching manner attracted considerable attention. She wore a pure white blazer, a bright yellow mini skirt, and white high-heeled shoes, complemented by her wavy brown hair and long legs that could make anyone swoon. She was quite a sight. Holding a grouper fish that was rolling its eyes, she poked it repeatedly, her face showing a look of disdain.
Zeng Weiyi suddenly turned over and stopped speaking. Hong Dou looked at Zeng Weiyi's back and recalled the time when she was so infatuated with Lin Musen.
Zeng Wei once tapped his son's head, feeling somewhat awkward
Victory Caesar was almost the gathering place for the children of the financial magnates back then, featuring private rooms and an extremely elegant environment, making it arguably the most refined place in the Kowloon area at that time. When Zeng Weiwei first heard about this place, she was quite surprised; she did not expect that after all these years, they still often gathered at Victory Caesar. Has nothing changed at all after so many years?
The vegetable seller became somewhat impatient, "Miss, are you going to buy it or not? Do you have a grudge against this fish? Why are you poking at it for so long?"
"BOSS, why did you park the private jet at the international airport today?" Bartley, the assistant wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a fair complexion and dressed in a dark blue suit, looked at the reporters standing at the door with great annoyance
Ji Qixuan clasped his hands together, opened the portable notebook on the car, and looked at the recent projects signed by the company. The man sitting in the passenger seat was Ji Qixuan's bodyguard, Qiu Chu. He suddenly turned to Ji Qixuan and said: "Mr. Ji, Miss Guan is asking if you are free today"
Zeng Weiyi nodded, and even her tall stature gave her a delicate and charming appearance, something that was not seen in her before. Zeng Weiyi had always looked down on others with an air of aloofness, living with the haughty demeanor befitting a young lady.
Hong Kong International Airport in 2000
Aunt Red Bean, my mother contributes fifty percent of her salary in Vancouver to her clothing, forty percent to my clothing, and only the remaining ten percent is used for food. My mother always buys her clothes from high-end department stores, never anything plain. " Saying this, she cast a dissatisfied glance at Zeng Wei.
Hong Dou is the only daughter of Xu Yuanbao, and they rely on each other for support. She has always been a chubby girl, who would typically present herself as a young lady to everyone, but she was exceptionally kind to Hong Dou, which was unexpected by anyone. Perhaps it was due to her affection for Xu Yuanbao, her butler, whom she held in high regard. However, when her family eventually fell from grace, those who had previously fawned over them scattered, while only the Xu family continued to offer assistance, albeit meager, which still demonstrated a sense of loyalty. Thus, the parents of Zeng Wei Yi felt assured to let Xu Yuanbao send Zeng Wei Yi abroad for refuge.

Red Bean wore a look of helplessness. She had not acted like a young lady for so many years. Aside from her approachable personality, her lifestyle still pursued a higher standard. No wonder she could not get by in Vancouver and sold the only property her parents had given her, a large villa, to return to Hong Kong.
Hong Dou clearly noticed that Zeng Wei Yi's hand was trembling slightly, and her breathing had quickened a bit compared to before. She unconsciously began to bite her lip. This was a habitual reaction of Zeng Wei Yi when she was nervous. Hong Dou couldn't help but sigh; indeed, as soon as she mentioned the man she loved the most yet could not have, she would become anxious
Once, a chestnut fell on my son's head, and he asked, "Is there such a thing as a mommy saying this?"
In 2006, at the entrance of Hong Kong International Airport, a crowd of reporters gathered, almost clustering together in anticipation of someone. A private jet was parked at the S parking stand. The S parking stand is specifically designated for the private jets of Hong Kong's major tycoons, and currently, only the top ten tycoons in Hong Kong have private jets that can park at the S stand, each of which already has its own airport.
Bartley slumped his shoulders, looking helplessly at his boss. This inspection was truly a headache, especially with that group of entertainment reporters, who were even more troublesome than flies. Originally, the businessman had no way to attract entertainment reporters, but his boss's charm was boundless. A rumor had emerged involving the renowned model Guan Xinling, known for having the most beautiful legs in Hong Kong, which was how he got involved in the entertainment industry.
Zeng Weiyi immediately wiped the tears from her face with her hand, sniffed, and gazed longingly at the crowd in the hall, trying to find a familiar figure, but ultimately her eyes dimmed.
A black luxury sedan was parked at the entrance, and a tall man in a black suit and black sunglasses respectfully bowed to the arriving person, opening the rear door while simultaneously blocking the swarm of reporters. Seeing that the interview was futile, the reporters had no choice but to focus on the assistant Bartley behind him, who looked dejected as he watched himself fall behind, being squeezed into a corner by the reporters who bombarded him with questions. Meanwhile, their boss entered the car with a blank expression, leaving behind his famously handsome profile for the paparazzi to capture.
Zeng Wei Yi had long decided on the educational goal for her son, which was naturally the top kindergarten in Hong Kong—Royal Kindergarten. That was the kindergarten she attended in her childhood. Now that Hong Kong has returned, she remembers that the name had not yet changed before she left. She heard that it has now been renamed Yulin Kindergarten, but in essence, it remains the same. The children who can study there are either from wealthy families or influential families, making it extremely difficult to gain admission.
The red bean person lives up to their name, with a round and plump figure and black-red skin. Due to the excess flesh, their facial features have become somewhat distorted, yet their eyes shine brightly, and a cheerful smile graces their lips, showing no sorrow over their appearance. On the legs of the red bean person is a child with fair skin tinged with a rosy hue, possessing large, round eyes. Although only five or six years old, the child's nose already appears quite distinguished, and with a slender, pointed face, they are sure to grow into a handsome young man.
Having been abroad for less than half a month, she received the news that her parents had both committed suicide due to bankruptcy. The Tseng family, once one of the top ten tycoons in Hong Kong, collapsed overnight, and Miss Tseng Wei is now missing.
"Call the navigator." Ji Qixuan closed the computer, rubbed his temples, and leaned back in the rear seat to rest his eyes. Qiu Chu also appropriately closed his mouth and turned to look at the driver.
The vegetable vendor scoffed disdainfully, "Relatives who have returned from abroad, one look and you can tell they are the kind of young ladies who can't even step into the kitchen. They are already mothers, yet they still dress so ostentatiously. Look, even this big shot's little boy is staring wide-eyed."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a bald head approached her, carrying a simple piece of luggage, and said, "Miss, it's almost time, please board the plane."
Is Mr. Ji always driving himself or not
... ...
In fact, Qiu Chu was quite curious about the relationship between Ji Qixuan, who usually only discussed business and never spoke of emotions, and Guan Xinling, a woman often regarded as a mere ornament. It was unclear what aspect of such a superficially appealing woman attracted their boss. The socialite chosen by the big boss was certainly far superior to Guan Xinling in terms of background, education, and even appearance.
Hong Dou said: "I hope not to encounter any nails"
Is this not a mutation of the red bean gene, resulting in such a charming son? I saw that handsome boy making a face at Zeng, saying, "Mommy, even buying a fish takes so long, how embarrassing."
Red Bean was momentarily speechless, staring foolishly at the serious-faced Zeng Weiyi. Zeng Weiyi sneered, "I gave birth to his child, do you know why?"
"With my charm, I will definitely be able to win over Lin Musen." At that time, Zeng Weiyi was so confident, so beautiful
Zeng Wei opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Hong Dou, "What happened?"
... ...
Upon hearing this voice, Zeng Weiwei turned her head with a smile as if she had encountered a savior, saying, "Red bean."
I must get married earlier than him. At that time, I was the only one who attended his engagement, my tone filled with stubbornness and defiance
That year, she left Hong Kong in a state of purity, and before her departure, she was unaware that she was pregnant
Once, her face flushed with embarrassment, she ignored him and walked out with Hong Dou. The three of them then exited the vegetable market. The vendor lady was left in a daze, while her old partner sighed, "Who is that person next to Hong Dou? How did such a beautiful young woman move into our village?"
A woman of exquisite beauty, yet unable to attain the man she desires, watches helplessly as he marries a woman less attractive than herself, severely damaging her self-esteem, especially for someone like Zeng Wei, a proud princess who was once the center of attention.
Ji Qixuan slightly lifted his eyelids, but his gaze seemed to have no intention of leaving the computer screen. He simply said, "Eight o'clock tonight, at the Deep Bay Yacht Club."
Hong Dou knew that Zeng Wei Yi's only thought was unrealistic, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I say... Wei Yi, be more realistic. You are no longer the young lady of the Zeng family, one of the top ten financial magnates. Don't even think about that kindergarten."
Zeng Qian, the only son, waved his hand at Aunt Hongdou, saying, "Aunt Hongdou, don't pressure my mommy like this. Dressed like that, she might commit suicide."
Zeng Wei originally did not want to go, but it would not be appropriate to refuse Zhao Suyan's intention. After all, she was willing to help, so it was only right to show some respect. She had no choice but to agree. The gathering place was at Sheng Caesar
Red Bean took Zeng Wei Yi to various places, firstly to help Zeng Wei Yi become familiar with the environment, and secondly, to teach Zeng Wei Yi how to live in the village.
Zeng Weiyi and her son are temporarily residing in a 56-square-meter apartment in Hongdou. It has been nearly two weeks since they returned to Hong Kong, and Zeng Weiyi is currently busy with three matters: her own work, accommodation issues, and her son's education.
I am not asking her to let my son into the school for free; I just want to use connections to get in. Can't she help with this little favor? Back in the day, Zhao Su Yan's current husband, Young Master Li, was given to her by Zhao Su Yan. If she hadn't given him to her, when would it have been her turn to be the mistress of the Li family? Zeng Wei Yi thought to herself, appearing quite naive. She believed that Zhao Su Yan would surely help with this small favor.
Zeng Weiyi suddenly took out a magazine, flipped to the page featuring an interview with the current principal of the Royal Kindergarten, and pointed at the person on it, saying, "Look, who is this?"
In fact, the relationship between the BOSS and Guan Xinling is indeed profound
Lin Musen has already been divorced
He clearly likes me, how can he get engaged to another woman? At that time, Zeng Weiyi was both angry and wronged, yet she maintained her pride and never bowed her head
Since Xu Yuanbao's family fell from grace, he no longer works as a steward and is now driving a taxi, usually returning home around midnight after changing shifts. Most of the time, Hong Dou stays at home alone, relying on an old sewing machine to make clothes and earn a little money. Due to her obesity, Hong Dou has a large physique, making it difficult for her to find work, and she has also been unable to find a husband. Perhaps feeling somewhat inferior, she rarely leaves the village, and the long-time residents of the village all know her.
Hong Dou ultimately found it difficult to sleep due to worry, and gently nudged Zeng Wei Yi, who was sleeping beside her. Zeng Wei Yi turned slightly, somewhat reluctantly shifting to her side to continue sleeping
The man in front of him, slightly taller in elevation, was dressed in a black suit, with a hint of an intriguing smile at the corner of his mouth. "I am assessing your abilities," he said before walking towards the crowd gathered over there
The balding middle-aged man Xu Yuanbao, who has a beer belly, was once the sole steward, having served the Zeng family for over twenty years. He watched Miss Zeng grow up, yet he still did not know what she was thinking. He said with some reluctance: "The master and madam will go to Vancouver to find the young lady, you should board the plane first."
The red beans lay in silence, seemingly patiently awaiting her revelation. Suddenly, she lifted her eyes to the ceiling, "I want to drive him mad; the mother of his own child is the woman he despises the most"
Once, with a faint smile, "Does the red bean mean that I should dress more simply?"
The wicked BOSS, the one who suffers and endures is always his assistant
Once, those misty and drowsy eyes finally heard the three words "Ji Qixuan" clearly. She said: "He must be quite charming now, my youth has faded, and I have no ability to break them apart."
Zhao Suyan is the second young lady of the Zhao family, one of the top ten financial magnates of the time, and has always been the only little follower of Zeng Wei. Back then, their relationship was relatively good within the noble circle. Hong Dou fell silent all of a sudden; looking at the photo, although Zhao Suyan was smiling, there was a complete lack of warmth, and it was unclear whether she held any nostalgia. Although Hong Dou felt a hint of unease, Zeng Wei seemed to care a lot about this opportunity.
At the moment of her hesitation, a plump hand picked it up, "Madam boss, wrap it up."
Having bought some home-cooked dishes, Hong Dou could not help but say to Zeng Wei Yi: "Wei Yi Jie, the situation in the village is quite mixed, you should avoid dressing so extravagantly. The villagers have a strong aversion to the wealthy and cannot stand the sight of rich people."
Hong Dou learned that Zeng Wei Yi was going to a gathering, and a wave of worry surged in her heart. On the list of wealthy individuals, all of Zeng Wei Yi's childhood playmates were included; would those affluent people prioritize friendship over profit? Although Zeng Wei Yi was now a mother, her state of mind remained restless. Could she maintain her composure?
Zeng Weiyi pressed her lips together, feeling somewhat hesitant. She poked the fish again and found that the flesh lacked elasticity. Hong Dou mentioned that when selecting fish, one should check if the fish's eyes are clear, and also whether the body of the fish has elasticity when poked. Among all the fish she had chosen, this one had clear eyes, but its flesh was not very elastic.
The old partner laughed heartily and immediately redirected their gaze.
This is unfair to Qian Qian. Hong Dou hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lin Musen has divorced."
... ...
In the crowd of people, a woman in a white cotton dress stood out remarkably. She was very beautiful, with porcelain-like skin that had a natural blush, and her bright, large eyes appeared so lively. She stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the planes take off and land, while crying.
The only sister. Hong Dou tapped again.
Finding the phone number of a celebrity is always much easier than finding that of an ordinary person. Zeng Weiyi managed to inquire about Zhao Suyan's phone number within just two days and promptly made the call. The situation seemed even better than Zeng Weiyi had anticipated; when Zhao Suyan learned it was Zeng Weiyi, she was surprised for quite a while. However, being a woman of the world, she quickly agreed without hesitation and even invited her to a gathering of friends, mentioning that their mutual friends had been missing her and urged her to definitely come.
Time flies like a shuttle, although the past is different from what it once was, can such competitiveness change
