Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

On the way back.

Xiao Le kept reminding An'an and Erya not to talk about it to anyone.

She herself must keep this secret buried deep.

But what she didn't expect was that as soon as she got home, she hadn't even had time to relax.

The phone in her pocket rang.

Xiao Le looked at it, it was surprisingly a call from her teacher.

She was somewhat reluctant to answer.

After three consecutive calls from her teacher, she apprehensively picked it up.

The voice on the other end was as gentle as ever.

Just like the teacher's image in the classroom, only she hadn't anticipated that her teacher would actually get involved with a sports student from her class.

The teacher asked Xiao Le to come out and sit for a while, even setting a meeting in a café.

Gathering her courage, Xiao Le went and found the teacher sitting in a black Audi.

While such a car might not be very expensive, the kind of people who drive such cars tend to be those even Rolls-Royces give way to.

She was certain she had never seen the teacher riding this kind of car at school.

The teacher knew she had seen something she shouldn't have, but didn't make it clear.

Rather, there was a faint threat in her words.

The implication was roughly that being a class headteacher in the top high school in Magic City, do you guess if it's because of her ordinary prestigious school graduation, or perhaps because she is beautiful.

Xiao Le also understood the implied meaning of her words.

It was bluntly telling her, if you dare speak of things you shouldn't, I can dismiss you in minutes.

And prevent you from getting into college.

Xiao Le returned home somewhat drained; she couldn't imagine that her usually gentle teacher could do such a thing.

And she couldn't bear to think that the same teacher would come to her door to threaten her directly.

Xiao Le's family lives in a super-large four-bedroom, two-living room flat.

It's also superbly located, situated right in the bustling heart of The Bund, Magic City.

Such a house, if valued at the market rate, would be worth at least thirty to forty million.

Her family has a large house in Capital City too.

But without exception, none of these big houses are something her family could afford.

They were gifts from her uncle.

Her father Xiao Ping'an was just an ordinary worker when he was in Sha City.

He could stir up no trouble nor settle any.

Thus, from childhood, her parents taught her to always be extremely careful when outside.

To avoid trouble as much as possible, and to steer clear of any problems if encountered.

Once in Sha City, Xiao Le was hit by a girl from her class.

That girl often bullied her, and after tolerating it several times, Xiao Le went to complain to a teacher.

She thought the teacher would definitely strictly reprimand that thug girl.

Who knew it made no difference at all.

Instead, the bullying worsened afterwards.

During that period, Xiao Le nearly became depressed, until her mother Chen Yao noticed something was off.

When she rushed to the school, Chen Yao, furious, slapped the girl.

That slap got her in trouble.

The school directly expelled her, the victim, and her mother Chen Yao was even taken into police custody.

Her father Xiao Ping'an, hopeless as if begging, had to engage in networking and bribe people to get Chen Yao back after half a month.

From then on, Xiao Le knew.

Their family was just an ordinary household, unable to provoke or manage affairs.

Her father Xiao Ping'an told her about that girl's situation; her family was wealthy and powerful.

For people like them to try and cause trouble, would only be self-destructive.

So, the outcome was her expulsion.

Once they moved to Capital City, her family visibly began to live better.

Her father Xiao Ping'an would often tell her, it wasn't because her parents were so capable.

It was simply because her uncle was too kind.

He provided them with the most respectable life; everything their family had was because of him.

Once you've grown up, you must remember to be grateful.

And remember not to cause trouble for your uncle.

And absolutely don't think just because you have such a capable uncle, you can do whatever you want.

Actually, even without her father's warnings, Xiao Le would not dare to meddle in other people's affairs.

She thought after her family got a Cullinan, she would never be bullied again.

But she didn't expect the misfortune to come so quickly.

She hated herself, why did she have to see what she shouldn't have.

Normally, even encountering an elderly lady falling down in the street, when Xiao Le had the intention to help.

Everyone has another thought in their heart, constantly struggling with her.

Do you really want to help her?

What if she claims it was you who made her fall?

Then, she leaves mercilessly and indifferently, looking back every three steps.

Xiao Le skipped dinner and had a long nightmare that night.

The next day, she woke up with a high fever.

She couldn't understand why she had to encounter this situation, something she couldn't manage or dare to speak about.

Yet, the teacher still came to threaten her.

She's just a timid girl, how could she dare to talk about such things?

Her heartache, mixed with grievances and sleepless nights, kept her fever from subsiding.

Chen Yao took her to see a doctor, thinking some medicine and a couple of injections would cure her.

But Xiao Le's fever persisted unexpectedly.

After one day, two days, three days, she remained in severe pain with a deeply furrowed brow.

She looked increasingly haggard.

Chen Yao became extremely anxious, taking her to two major hospitals, but to no avail.

Later, Chen An'an and Er Piya also found out and came to visit her.

Her condition seemed particularly severe.

You should know that Er Piya has never been sick since birth.

Not because she has a strong constitution.

It's simply because her family spends millions each year hiring top traditional Chinese doctors for daily care.

And paying attention to various health aspects.

Illness strikes as swiftly as a collapsing mountain, and fades like drawing silk.

Just a few days ago, her lively cousin suddenly fell ill.

And the illness was severe.

Chen An'an touched her forehead, then her own, both showing abnormally high temperatures.

"Cousin, why hasn't your fever gone down?"

Logically, it shouldn't be possible; she had been moved to her father's exclusive medical center.

The medical equipment and team here are top-notch.

A mere cold should not be beyond them.

If so, wouldn't her father's yearly expenditure of hundreds of millions be a joke?

"Miss An'an, the situation with your cousin isn't just a common cold; it's like a huge stone weighing on her heart, categorizing it as a psychological issue."

The middle-aged female doctor cautioned her:

"This is a typical case of a psychological illness. If she cannot receive psychological counseling, her illness may persist for a long time."

Psychological illness?

Why would her cousin have a psychological illness?

It was then Er Piya, innocent of the implications, spoke out.

"Lele, isn't it because you saw the teacher messing around with a student that you became like this?"

Chen An'an also suddenly remembered.

It was because of this that her cousin hurried home that day.

What happened afterward, she didn't know, but then her cousin fell ill the next day.

A concerned Chen Yao rushed to find out what happened, and Er Piya simply blurted it out.

She wasn't afraid of anyone, let alone how you became the class teacher.

She just said it.

Chen Yao's expression changed drastically; nobody knew her daughter better than herself.

Since the incident in Sha City, she had always been timid and afraid.

Even if classmates bullied her, she never dared to speak up.

Let alone confronting a teacher.

"Le, tell Mom, did that teacher come to find you?"

Xiao Le lay on the hospital bed, dizzy and weak, speaking listlessly.

She kept blaming herself for deciding to go to Nanjing Street that day.

If she hadn't gone, maybe she wouldn't have seen the teacher like that.

Maybe the teacher she once admired wouldn't have come to threaten her.

Hearing this, Chen Yao was furious.

Since marrying Xiao Ping'an, she had been very cautious in her daily life.

Her two daughters had always been obedient, never causing trouble.

But she didn't expect her cautiousness would make her daughter so fearful.

Comparing her daughters with her brother's, who clearly were not so timid,

she even began to rethink whether her parenting method had harmed her daughters.

Regardless, the immediate issue had to be resolved first.
