Return of the Prodigious Son novel Chapter 7

Zhou Tian didn't expect that the boss of the gold shop would send someone to deliver the necklace.

But thinking of the warm attitude of the middle-aged boss at the gold shop, Zhou Tian could guess what was going on.

It must be that the boss of the gold shop wanted to make friends with him, so he sent Zhang Shuyun a diamond necklace.

As for why he wanted to make friends, Zhou Tian could not figure it out for a while.

"When I was in the gold shop today, the boss would give this necklace to me as a gift."

Zhou Tian said.

Zhang Shuyun was amused by his words. "Haha, you've really grown up. You're really good at lying."

Zhou Tian knew that Zhang Shuyun wouldn't believe him, so he didn't bother to explain.

Li Ruoxue looked at Zhou Tian from the side, and her heart was in a mess.

She also wanted to believe in Zhou Tian, but these two things were too mysterious and hard to convince.

"Mom, we can't take the boss’ things for nothing. This diamond necklace, you should give it back tomorrow."

Li Ruoxue thought about it and said to Zhang Shuyun.

Zhang Shuyun's face showed displeasure. She liked this necklace so much that she didn't want to give it back.

"Silly girl, I didn’t want something from him for free. This must have been bought by the Oldest Childe of the Qian Family. Ask the gold shop to send it here."

"If he bought it, it would be even more impossible for you to get it."

Li Ruoxue said.

"It's rare that the Oldest Childe of the Qian Family is so thoughtful. Don't be too disrespectful to him."

As Zhang Shuyun spoke, she put on the necklace and looked into the mirror.

"Zhou Tian, let's go out for a walk."

Li Ruoxue looked at Zhou Tian and said to him.

Zhou Tian was about to go out to take a breath. He was really irritated by Zhang Shuyun.

Out of the house, Li Ruoxue got in the car and motioned for Zhou Tian to drive.

"Where are we going?"

Zhou Tian asked.

"Jinxiu VillaJinxiu Villa."

Li Ruoxue said softly. As she spoke, her heart sank.

Zhou Tian glanced at Li Ruoxue beside him. He knew that Li Ruoxue would go to Jinxiu Villa every once in a while.

And every time she went there, she was in a bad mood. He didn't know why.

They drove on the road without saying a word.

He wanted to tell Li Ruoxue that the necklace was for her, but now it was worn by his mother-in-law.

However, would Li Ruoxue believe him?

It could only make Li Ruoxue's impression of him worse.

Twenty minutes later, in Jinxiu Villa in the western suburbs of Beichuan City.

This was an unbuilt villa area, which had been in ruins for four or five years.

Standing in front of the villa, Li Ruoxue was lost in thought for a long time.

Zhou Tian stood by her side, silently accompanying her like before.

"Do you know why I often come here?"

Li Ruoxue turned to look at Zhou Tian and said.

Zhou Tian shook his head.

"This unfinished project was developed four years ago by my father."

...

Zhou Tian was very surprised. Three years ago, he married into the Li family and soon Li Ruoxue's father passed away.

At that time, he thought the Li family was just a working family, but he didn't expect that his father-in-law was a developer.

"Why hasn't the project been completed?"

Zhou Tian asked.

"At that time, a big boss from the south was going to invest one billion yuan in the western suburbs to build the largest water park in the country."

"If the water park is built, the business will be booming, and it will also be prosperous in the western suburbs, so my father decided to develop it here. But not long after, the big boss was caught illegalfunding, and the water park project was aborted. My father's mansion of Jinxiu Villa can't be sold even if it is built, and it can only be sold in the end..."

Speaking of this, Li Ruoxue's eyes flashed with tears.

When he saw how sad she was, Zhou Tian's doting intensified and he could not help but gently hold her jade-like hands.

Unexpectedly, Li Ruoxue did not break free this time. Instead, she turned around and looked at Zhou Tian.

"The failure of this investment has made my father completely bankrupt until he died of depression."

As Li Ruoxue spoke, she had already shed tears.

Zhou Tian wiped away the tears on her face and comforted her, "It's all in the past. Don't think about it anymore."

"How could I not? My father had never forgotten to build Jinxiu Villa until his death. I, on the other hand, have no ability to fulfill his last wish..."

Li Ruoxue trembled slightly. "I only have six thousand yuan to work for a month now, and I still have to support our family. Even if I don't eat or drink, I can't save enough money to help my father complete his last wish in my life. Zhou Tian, do you know how sad I am?"

"..."

Zhou Tian stood in front of Li Ruoxue, speechless.

A few days after he got married to Li Ruoxue, his legs were lame and he couldn't even find a suitable job.

In the past three years, this family was all supported by Li Ruoxue. She was only in her early twenties, but she had to choose to be strong...
