After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

Recently, major news broke out in A City. A rich family discovered that the daughter they had raised for eighteen years was not their biological offspring. The real young lady was found, and the fake young lady was sent away. Lu Ning was now a beautiful swan who had turned into an ugly duckling. Everybody waited for the opportunity to laugh at her. They wanted to see how she would survive after being pampered like a princess for eighteen years. However, Lu Ning wasn't afraid at all. So what if she was poor? All she had to do was earn money. But before she could bring wealth to her family, they brought her home and started counting stacks of cash. Her eldest brother, a business mogul, offered her a few companies. "These are all yours now. There are more if you want them. You can choose anything from dining, entertainment, fashion, theme parks, and any industry you can think of." "Ning, would you like to participate in a talent show? I'll write you a recommendation letter," her second brother, a major celebrity, asked. Even her youngest brother, a computer expert, said, "Sis, whoever says bad things about you on the internet will never get to use it again." "..." Lu Ning was speechless. Wasn't her family poor and useless? "Ning, if you don't like gold, I'll get someone to bring you diamonds instead. You can have diamonds embedded in all your clothes. What do you think? Hang on. I'll get someone to do it right away!" Lu Ning's mother said."Ning, are you getting bored of the black card? Why don't I give you one with a credit limit? Is 50,000,000 enough?" Lu Ning's father asked. "Huh?" Lu Ning was confused. Wasn't her family so poor that they couldn't even pay off their mortgage? Lu Ning didn't even have any opportunity to contribute. There was nothing for her to do. However..."Come and be our boss!" A secret organization approached her."Come and be my successor!" The director of a research center approached her."Is this never going to end? I just want to be an ordinary person!" Lu Ning exclaimed. "Baby! Come into my arms!" Mr. Huo, an extremely wealthy man, arrived at top speed.

It's Busy in A City

Dịch giả: Atlas Studios Biên tập viên: Atlas Studios

Shen Guang was at the banquet organized by the Zhou family.

The Zhou family could be considered to be equals with the Lù family in A City, but they were still slightly higher in status compared to the Lù family.

The Zhou family mingled a lot in the capital. They were an existence which could find themselves working alongside the Huo family.

When the Zhou family expanded in the capital, their youngest daughter, who stayed there for two years, was unable to adapt to the environment. She ended up losing a lot of weight and had always missed A City.

Old Master Zhou's heart ached for her, and so did her husband's. After some negotiation, they had their youngest daughter's family move back to A City and live here.

Business acumen flowed in the blood of the Zhou family, and their youngest daughter was also very smart. After moving back for a few years, her business prospered, rivaling that of the Lù family.

As they were good friends with the Shen family, the Zhou family held a banquet to celebrate their son's admission to Beijing University; at the same time, they celebrated their daughter's acceptance into No.1 High School. Good things come in pairs, they would say.

"Hey, Third Brother, did you know that Huo Jinyan has been in A City recently?"

The person who came to talk to Shen Guang was the husband of the youngest daughter of the Zhou family, Meng Qian.

Shen Guang was third among the Shen brothers, and those on good terms with him called him Third Brother.

Shen Guang was startled and looked at Meng Qian. "Huo Jinyan? What's he doing here?"

With a glass of wine in hand, Meng Qian shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it can't be anything good; it seems he came here secretly. I heard from my father that Old Master Huo was so angry that he wanted to chase after him, but was persuaded to return."

This piqued Shen Guang's interest. He spoke in a low voice, "What is it he wants? What is it he can't do in the capital, and instead had to come all this way down to A City?"

"Who knows? It's not as if you don't know Huo Jinyan. He's quiet and doesn't speak with anyone, he alone knows what he wants to do, he wouldn't ever tell anyone anything."

Shen Guang nodded. "That's true. He's not even that old, why does he have such a temperament? Our own kid normally isn't afraid of anything, but he was so frightened when he first met Huo Jinyan he couldn't even speak."

Meng Qian also found it peculiar and amusing. "Isn't that right? Our daughter's also a troublemaker and usually doesn't see eye to eye with anyone, but when she saw Huo Jinyan she became as docile as a rabbit, she didn't even dare say a word.

"Everything has its natural adversaries. Say, why don't you ask Huo Jinyan if he wants to be a teacher at your school? With him around, I won't have to worry about our troublemaker causing trouble for me, and I won't have to clean up her mess."

He was only joking, Shen Guang also treated it as a joke, and the two of them laughed together.

"Alright, as long as you can catch him, I'll ask him. This Buddha isn't easy to catch; he's elusive. If you really do catch him one day, I'll even give you my Painting of a Thousand Miles…"

As soon as she finished speaking, a servant led a person in from outside.

He stood tall and straight, exuding an aura of strength.

"…"

"…"

Meng Qian, who had regained his senses, suddenly patted Shen Guang's shoulder. "Are you going to deliver it to me, or will I have to go and get it himself?"

Shen Guang: Is it too late for me to take back my words?

"Shoo. I never said that."

He took it back on the spot.

Meng Qian did not particularly care about this. The Painting of a Thousand Miles was Shen Guang's treasure, more precious than his own son; he would not dare to take it even if he gave it to him.

"So be it, let's pretend you never said that. However, you mentioned that you wanted to ask him whether he'll become a teacher; you won't forget that, right?"

He was clearly smirking.

Shen Guang almost wanted to bite his own tongue off.

He had already gone back on his word regarding the Painting of a Thousand Miles; now, he would be unable to take back his word on this other matter. And Meng Qian simply wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
