Yan Xixi trembled inwardly, slowly saying, "You said Huang’s mom and dad are in danger?"
"As far as I know, Huang’s mom and dad have already moved to the villa designated by Zhou Ting. Think about it, given Huang Xiaojue’s temperament, there’s no way he would let his parents live in such a place. Moreover, although Huang’s mom is vulgar and vain, Huang’s dad is clearly much more reliable. Unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t move so easily, which shows that it must have been deliberately arranged by Zhou Ting..."
Hostages!
Huang’s mom and dad have become hostages.
"Zhou Ting has completely inherited her parents’ methods, never doing anything without a purpose. There’s always a very detailed plan. Everything has a purpose."
Yan Xixi became anxious: "Then doesn’t that make Huang Xiaojue a fish on a chopping board? Might I implicate him?"
Wan Donglin pondered slightly: "Huang Xiaojue isn’t an idiot. This person can be unpredictable at times, and I can’t always guess what he’s really up to. But for now, Zhou Ting absolutely wouldn’t dare make him her opponent."
"Why?"
"Because it looks like the Zhou Family will hand over the huge unresolved asset problems to Huang Xiaojue. Besides him, no one else is capable of shouldering this heavy burden."
Yan Xixi didn’t know whether to be pleased or worried.
Gradually starting to understand the living world of the other "twenty percent," like peering through a tube at a leopard, she was perplexed. Even unable to comprehend the immense wealth and great enjoyment, in the end, what could come of it?
The mindset of the grassroots can’t keep up with the world of the wealthy. She thought: she has a small apartment, a car worth hundreds of thousands, a couple of bags, no worries about food and drink, a carefree life... for a long time, she felt materially abundant, life was good, and stopped scheming for financial gains.
However, with different levels come different realms.
You might be satisfied driving a car worth hundreds of thousands, but others might prefer the five or six million dollar "Wind Child," billion-dollar yacht castles, private jets, medieval manors...
This is why humans are so greedy.
She was utterly confused: "Brother Donglin, do you think money is really that important? Don’t they say that no matter how much money a person earns, they can only use two or three tenths of it, and the rest is unnecessary?"
A phone, no matter how many features, you can only use thirty percent;
Mountains of gold and silver piled up, you can only spend thirty percent at most.
A thousand houses, you can only sleep in one.
Life is governed by the three-tenths rule.
Yet countless people keep going forward.
Wan Donglin said lightly, "Do you know Li Xunhuan and Afei under Gai Long’s pen?"
"Of course I know."
"Afei fell in love with Lin Xianxian. Lin Xianxian pretended to be innocent in front of Afei to keep him trapped; she understood that the best way to make a man forever devoted is to never let him have her. Thus, Lin Xianxian deliberately maintained a distance with Afei, yet she was extremely promiscuous at heart, constantly messing around with other men behind Afei’s back—from the dirtiest servants to various renowned outlaws and heroes, she’d let them fully enjoy her beautiful body..."
In other words, Lin Xianxian’s body was available to all men, except Afei was not allowed.
Therefore, in Afei’s eyes, she was always pure, dignified, and flawless.
"Zhou Ting and her group are like this. They occupy the majority of resources, enjoying wherever they please. These riches are created by the eighty percent ant tribe they usually disdain, yet they would rather indulge in various extravagances, even toss it to Mars..."
