Chapter 6: Home? To Her, It Was a Luxury Item

“What do you mean?”

The moment it involved his mother, Yu Zi’s expression darkened instantly. She stared fixedly at Yu Cheng.

“That was something left to me by mother. What right do you have to decide its ownership?”

Seeing Yu Zi angry, Yu Cheng instead became much calmer.

Looking at Yu Zi’s furious face, he chuckled lightly and spoke casually,

“Because she was my wife, the property she left first belongs to me, and only then to you.”

“Yu Zi, if you refuse to marry Xie Yuhai, then I will have to refuse to give you all of mother’s inheritance. After all, Yangyang is my daughter too, and I have to consider her interests as well. Don’t you agree?”

A blatant threat. Yu Zi’s face turned as green as a cucumber, terribly unsightly.

But just such a simple sentence forced Yu Zi to compromise.

“Fine, I agree. Mother’s inheritance must all belong to me.”

“That is my property, and no one else can touch it!”

Her mind racing, Yu Zi still couldn’t find a good way out.

In the end, she had no choice but to agree temporarily.

No matter how she thought about it, the mood was extremely sour. Yu Zi left the house directly.

Yu Cheng watched her retreating figure and sat down again, his mood complicated.

He had not been without feelings for Yu Zi’s mother in the past.

But he was tired of being called a kept man, a gigolo.

As long as Yu Zi did not cross his bottom line, he was still willing to grant her some dignity as his daughter.

Then he picked up his phone and made a call.

As soon as it connected, Yu Cheng said impatiently,

“President Xie, Yu Zi has agreed to the arranged marriage.”

...

Leaving the house, Yu Zi got into her car.

She looked at the villa not far away, her gaze rare in its haze and confusion.

Since her mother’s death, she had no home.

The Yu family now was nothing but a place to rest for her.

But once she truly left this so-called refuge, Yu Zi suddenly realized the only place she could go was the company.

She smiled bitterly to herself and sighed softly.

At that moment, her phone rang. Yu Zi answered it.

“Hello, who is this?”

The voice on the other end was unmistakably filled with joy.

“President Yu, William’s side has strong intentions to cooperate with us. They just called to say they have some questions for you and would like to invite you to join a multinational video conference. If all goes well, we’ll secure this deal.”

At these words, a trace of a smile appeared in Yu Zi’s eyes, her voice filled with delight.

“I’ll be there now. Arrange the meeting for two o’clock this afternoon.”

After giving some instructions, Yu Zi hung up the phone.

The William deal was the largest and most challenging project Yu Zi had handled since the start of the year.

She had personally led the team for three months. She had thought all hope was lost before, but unexpectedly, the situation had taken a positive turn.

All her doubts were now behind her. Yu Zi started the car and drove toward the company.

...

Just entering her office, the project leaders had already gathered there.

Yu Zi understood their purpose and did not scold them.

“Everyone, rest assured, the three months of hard work will not be in vain!”

After briefly reviewing the current progress, Yu Zi waved them off, signaling they could leave.

In the afternoon, Yu Zi tidied her attire and promptly opened the video conference.

“Hello everyone, I am Yu Zi.”
