Chu Yuening deftly maneuvered around the towering Zhou Fengxu and dashed out of the sports field, her mood particularly delightful after receiving a thousand yuan.

Spotting Chu Yi bidding farewell to Lin Jiahua and others, she waved, "A Yi, come on, let's head to the Friendship Mall and get you some nice clothes."

Chu Yi, curious, carried her bag with both hands as she walked, glancing back occasionally. "Big Sister, aren't you supposed to be going on a date with Inspector Zhou?"

"Date your head," Chu Yuening playfully tapped her little sister's head. "I just need to have a quick chat."

"Oh, oh." Chu Yi rubbed the back of her head and gave a couple of nods before her smile returned.

The two made their way to the double-decker bus stop. As they walked, Chu Yi stealthily observed her older sister, who was juggling selling dessert and fortune-telling.

Big Sister really had it tough.

Ah Hua and Ah Rong's sister were about the same age and were already dating. According to Ah Hua's complaints, she was repeatedly nagged by her sister about her outfit choices for dates after school every day.

Could it be that Big Sister didn't dare to date because of her?

After all, she was such a burden, requiring support for her education and daily needs. The pressure must have been immense.

"Big Sister."

Not knowing what was on Chu Yi's mind, Chu Yuening could still sense a certain indescribable change in her eyes. "What's the matter?"

Chu Yi smiled slightly. "I want to ask for your permission. After school, I'd like to sell water at the sports field."

Chu Yuening was taken aback by Chu Yi's sudden idea. "Can you keep up with your English class?"

Hong Kong students had English lessons from an early age, and most of their teachers taught in English.

When Chu Yi first arrived from the mainland, she struggled with the language, unable to understand many English sentences. She studied until eleven o'clock every night, determined to catch up with her classmates.

"I can keep up now. All my grades are A's. If you don't believe me, I'll show you when we get home."

"That's really impressive, getting all A's." Chu Yuening couldn't help but feel admiration. Chu Yi had been a good student back in the mainland, and despite falling behind in several subjects due to her English proficiency when she arrived in Hong Kong, it seemed she had already caught up without the need for a tutor.

"Since that's the case, why not push yourself even harder? You'll be taking college entrance exams in Form 6."

"Don't worry, Sister. I won't neglect my studies." Chu Yi shared her business opportunity. "There's no pure drinking water sold inside the sports field, only coffee and soft drinks. People will get thirsty after exercising. The only water dispenser is in the hall, and after I exercise, I just want to rest; I wouldn't have the energy to walk there."

"So, I thought of selling mineral water in the inner court with a slightly higher price."

Chu Yuening was surprised by how observant and quick-witted Chu Yi was in identifying business opportunities. Recalling the original storyline where Chu Yi became a formidable female tycoon in Hong Kong's business world, she gazed at her young and innocent sister, "Alright, if you want to try it out, go for it!"

Chu Yi cheered and leaped to hug Chu Yuening's neck, then bounced off again, "You're the best sister in the whole world!"

The double-decker bus arrived.

The sisters climbed to the top deck, with Chu Yi sitting by the window, captivated by the towering skyscrapers outside Hong Kong, "Big Sister."

Chu Yuening was calculating how much they would spend at the Friendship Department Store later. They both needed two sets of casual clothing, as Chu Yi's current outfits were getting too small, and she couldn't wear school uniforms every day. There were also stationery and reference books to pick out, so Chu Yi could have her fill of choosing.

Hearing Chu Yi call out, she came back to her senses, "Hmm?"

Chu Yi's hands were gripping the window frame, her gaze fixed on the magnificent high-rises as she clenched her fists, fueled by ambition, "Big Sister, I must buy a floor in Hong Kong to give to you!"

Looking at Chu Yi's ambitious expression, Chu Yuening didn't dash her hopes but instead boldly made a request, "I want to live in a mansion!"

A delighted smile lit up Chu Yi's almond-shaped eyes, "Alright!"

-

Perched on a hillside, the villa offered a stunning view. Elevated from the bustling city, it nestled in the mountains with a panoramic glimpse of the sea and the entire Hong Kong skyline.

A majestic Hummer H1 drove into one of the mansions within the Zhulin Mountain compound.

Half an hour later.

Zhou Fengxu took a shower and walked into the walk-in closet with a white towel draped over his head, wiping his damp hair as he went. His gaze was fixated on the crumpled talisman he held in his hand.

Just moments ago, his clothes almost got soaked along with the talisman.

Fortunately, it remained dry.

"Erice?"

The door to the room swung open.

Xu Dan exuded an elegant aura, with her skin well-maintained. She wore a light purple silk shirt and placed a bowl of soup on the table, lifting her gaze to survey the room.

"Erice, it's freshly made pigeon soup. Drink it quickly."

Zhou Fengxu emerged from the closet, his gaze momentarily drawn to the delectable soup on the table.

His freshly washed hair was still dripping wet.

He casually grabbed a towel to wipe his hair before tossing it into a basket nearby.

"Brother Zhou likes your soup. Why not let him have it all?"

"Absolutely not!"

A robust voice echoed in.

The door opened wider, and Zhou Zhi reacted strongly. He had originally been passing by the master bedroom but immediately turned back upon hearing this, adopting a serious tone. "How can Dan Dan's love be for me alone? As a son, you should actively respond to the affection shown by the family."

Zhou Fengxu couldn't fathom it. He had already moved out and rarely returned home. Why would he still subject himself to his mother's culinary torture?

Gazing at the bowl filled with various dark-colored health tonics, he held it up before Zhou Zhi. "Since you like it, finish it all."

Zhou Zhi was about to decline, but the bowl was already pressed into his hands. Zhou Fengxu added, "I always hear you praising Sister Dan's loving soup. Naturally, I won't compete with you for it."

Xu Dan was also surprised that Zhou Zhi enjoyed her soup so much. She immediately nodded. "I thought you didn't like it, so I wanted to avoid wasting it by giving it to Eric. Since you like it, I'll cook a different soup for you tomorrow."

The atmosphere had reached a point where not drinking it was no longer an option.

Zhou Zhi looked at the soup with mixed feelings, then lifted the bowl to take a sip. Afterward, he managed to force a smile. "Ah, my wife at home is really amazing. Ah Tian and the others must be incredibly envious of me. Honey, you've worked hard."
