A life of financial freedom

Magic City, Fudan University.

Even at 10 o'clock in the evening, the library is still brightly lit and crowded with visitors. This is the thirst for knowledge of Fudan students.

"Huh..."

Zhou Qiong closed the book and rubbed her temples. "I can easily understand those knowledge in high school, but it is a bit difficult in college. Fudan is really full of strong people."

"I have to work harder, learn more knowledge, and enhance my abilities. Not only can I better enter the society, but I also hope to help my brother."

Zhou Qiong studied hard and eagerly, hoping to grow up and have the opportunity to repay Chu Fang's kindness in the future.

She knew that Chu Fang did not need those rewards, but as a "sister", she hoped to help him.

Zhou Qiong flipped through the chat records and smiled slightly.

Most of them were messages from Chu Yi, who treated their chat space as a circle of friends, sharing various things, such as:

I bought a cup of milk tea, which was delicious; I was playing duo with someone to get points, and that teammate was really good, so she had to pretend to speak in a coquettish way, hoping that the other party would continue to help her get points, but she didn't know that the teammate turned out to be a "little kid brother"...

It was late at night, Zhou Qiong put the books back into her backpack and left the library immediately.

As soon as she walked out of the library, she received a strange call. She answered the call and heard a strange but familiar voice in her ear: "Hello, Qiong Qiong, I'm Dad."

Zhou Qiong's face changed instantly.

Unexpectedly, my father who had been missing for many years called...

Zhou Qiong suppressed her excitement and said in a deep voice: "How did you know my phone number?"

"Grandma Li told me."

Zhou Mingqiang replied, and then said: "Qiong Qiong, where are you now? Dad wants to see you."

"Huff, huh, huh..." She took a deep breath and tried to suppress her inner emotions, "Forget it, it's not necessary."

Zhou Mingqiang's voice was apologetic: "Qiong Qiong, I know that my father has disappeared for so many years and there is no news. It's my fault. I'm really sorry."

Paused, as if organizing his words: "Your grandparents are gone. In this world, you are my only relative. I want to see you."

"Maybe, this is the only time in this life."

Zhou Qiong was silent for a long time and replied: "I am in Fudan University in the Magic City."

After that, she hung up the phone directly, squatted in the dark corner, and cried.

It was not until a long time that she stopped crying and slowly walked towards the dormitory.

When they returned to the dormitory, a roommate said, "Qiong Qiong is back."

"Yeah."

"By the way, Qiong Qiong, can I borrow your computer? My computer can't run large games." Another roommate asked.

Zhou Qiong and Chu Yi's computers were bought by Chu Fang. They were expensive and all parameters were top-of-the-line. They were the best laptops.

Zhou Qiong replied, "Okay."

The two roommates opened their laptops instantly and were amazed: "Wow, this is a six-digit computer. It's so smooth. Minesweeper finally won't get stuck."

"It's a pity to leave such a good computer like this." The roommate said with some regret, "Qiong Qiong, you should use the computer more and use up the depreciation of the computer."

Zhou Qiong rarely used the computer and left it there most of the time.

Zhou Qiong kept silent, climbed onto the bed, and pulled the quilt to sleep.

Lu Linhong noticed her abnormality and asked, "Qiong Qiong, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

... ...

At midnight, Zhou Qiong opened her eyes and suddenly sat up from the bed, sweating profusely.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

She gasped.

She had a nightmare, a real nightmare.

Her father was a gambler and owed a lot of high-interest loans. He went to another place to hide from the debts. When the creditors came to the door, her mother couldn't stand it and left, leaving her to her grandparents to depend on each other.

She dreamed of the creditors coming to the door to collect the debts and the helpless scene of her grandparents.

Such pain... ...

Zhou Qiong got up, poured a glass of water and drank it, looking at the night view outside the window.

Lu Linhong put on her coat and asked with concern: "Qiong Qiong, are you okay?"

Zhou Qiong pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm fine, you go to bed."

... ...

The next day, Zhou Qiong got up early in the morning, wearing casual clothes and running on the playground, sweating profusely.

After breakfast, she went to class with her roommates.

Until the afternoon, she received the strange call again, and she replied: "I know, you wait for me outside."

When the get out of class was over, Zhou Qiong apologized to her three roommates, saying that she had something important to do and could not eat together.

Lu Linhong asked again: "Qiong Qiong, what are you doing? How about the three of us accompany you?"

"No big deal." Zhou Qiong shook her head.

Seeing this, the few people did not ask more questions. Seeing Zhou Qiong leave, Lu Linhong touched his chin: "Qiong Qiong must have encountered something?""What could possibly happen to her?" one of the roommates said disapprovingly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Another nodded, "Qiong Qiong has good grades and her family is so rich, what could possibly be difficult for her?"

"As long as she says a word to that rich brother, she will have countless money. What can't be solved with money? Woohoo... I envy Qiong Qiong so much."

"..."

Carrying her schoolbag, Zhou Qiong walked out of the school and saw her biological father at a glance. He seemed to have aged a lot after not seeing him for many years.

Zhou Mingqiang also saw her at a glance and walked over quickly: "Qiong Qiong."

Wanting to hug her biological daughter, she took a step back and said, "What's the matter with you?"

"I want to see you. I've been thinking about you for so many years." Zhou Mingqiang said.

"Have you thought about your grandparents?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know that your grandparents died with their eyes open?" Zhou Qiong's eyes were red.

Zhou Mingqiang lowered his head: "I'm sorry."

"Tell your grandparents when you go down."

Zhou Qiong took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "You have seen me, so let's end it here."

After that, Zhou Qiong returned to the campus. Zhou Mingqiang also wanted to follow him into the campus, but was stopped by the security guard. He had to shout loudly behind him:

"Qiong Qiong, I, as a father, am sorry for you. It's my fault. I deserve to die. Please forgive me..."

His voice attracted the people around him, and they all cast strange eyes, but Zhou Qiong seemed not to hear it and strode deep into the school.

In a corner on the edge, Lu Linhong looked at the man who was suspected to be Zhou Qiong's biological father, sitting on the ground with a depressed face and extreme regret.

She knew that Zhou Qiong was not Chu Fang's biological sister, but an adopted sister with parents.

Lu Linhong thought her life was miserable enough, but compared with Zhou Qiong, she felt that she seemed to be living a good life.

Lu Linhong pursed her lips.
