As Hanno boarded the plane with his mother, leaving Korea behind, Elder Brother Li was in a state of panic. Just as Hanno had suspected, Elder Brother Li had transformed into a girl. Although there wasn't much on top—being too young and not yet developed—there was certainly less below!
"Rahe1, come with me. From now on, we will live together," a strong-looking woman said as she picked up Elder Brother Li and strode out in her high heels.
A man rushed after them, shouting, "Rahe1 is my daughter; you can't take her away!"
The woman, who was Elder Brother Li's mother in this life, turned back with a disdainful sneer before continuing to carry Elder Brother Li away.
Was this a case of parents getting divorced? Elder Brother Li felt confused. In Korea, a patriarchal society, shouldn't the child belong to the father after a divorce? How could the mother take the child away so forcefully, not allowing the father to approach? It seemed that this life’s mother was a strong woman who intimidated even men!
Once he became familiar with his identity, Elder Brother Li sighed. In this lifetime, he had no connection to family ties. His father was out of the picture, and his mother wouldn’t allow him to meet his father. As for his mother, her heart was solely focused on her career; expecting her to provide any familial affection was futile.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and both Hanno and Elder Brother Li had grown up. During those ten years, they hadn’t rushed to find each other; they had agreed before coming into this world to grow separately and see if fate would bring them together.
At the University of Pennsylvania in the United States, Hanno walked ahead while instructing the girl beside him. Many Chinese people believed that Harvard Business School was the best, but in reality, the top business school in the United States was the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. It was regarded as the birthplace of modern business education and was the first university business school in the United States with a long-standing academic reputation. It held high esteem across various economic fields and management education. In 2014, it ranked first in U.S. News & World Report's authoritative list of best business schools.
"Buy Apple stocks aggressively," Hanno instructed.
"But many economists are pessimistic about Apple, and its performance has been poor in recent years," the girl hesitated. She was Hanno's assistant, three years older than him, named Yin Xin'ai.
Hanno had lived with his mother in England until he was fifteen. When he learned that Xu Huaying had started secretly contacting certain ministers in Korea, he took action. He created a drug based on Wang Nangu's poison that wasn’t toxic but rather beneficial for health; those who took it would become very healthy and live long lives. However, it couldn’t hide its true nature as a kind of narcotic. With soul manipulation involved, Hanno made Xu Huaying completely forget her ambitions and live a quiet life.
With his worries resolved, Hanno began to live freely according to his desires. He moved from England to study in the United States while learning about economics and finance. He immersed himself in Wall Street, multiplying his already considerable assets tenfold or even a hundredfold until they surpassed the total assets of the Korean royal family—truly becoming a world-class billionaire.
Yin Xin'ai was someone he had personally promoted. She had significant talent in economics but had chosen painting due to family reasons. After learning her name, Hanno brought her under his wing and took her along to Wall Street, allowing her to benefit from their success and accumulate wealth beyond what the Yin family possessed. This gave Yin Xin'ai the confidence to break free from her family—introducing her to an excellent lawyer played a significant role—but more importantly, Madam Yoon and Yin Junxi truly subjected Yin Xin'ai to emotional abuse; evidence was clear. While such abuse might not be considered serious in Korea, it posed major issues in the United States. The judge accepted Yin Xin'ai's lawyer's application for her to separate from the Yin family; she could finally breathe freely without living under Yin Enxi's shadow like a mere cabbage.
It wasn't until then that Professor Yoon and Madam Yoon realized just how exceptional Yin Xin'ai was—a rising star on Wall Street with millions in assets—something they could never hope to earn in their lifetimes. Originally, that money should have belonged to them; with it, they could have ascended from middle-class status to upper-class wealth. But now they had lost everything! Did they regret it? Professor Yoon surely regretted it; Madam Yoon felt regret upon seeing so much money slip away—her dream of living as My Lady vanished. Only Yin Junxi felt no regret; all he cared about was Yin Enxi—love above all else, viewing money as worthless!
"Don't worry; when have I ever lost on stocks I favored?" Hanno smiled. At that time, smartphones were still under development; no one could foresee their bright future.
"That's true," Yin Xin'ai nodded, admiring Hanno immensely.
"Xin Ai, pack your things; we're heading back to Korea."
"Back to Korea?" Yin Xin'ai asked in confusion. "Why do you suddenly want to return?"
Hanno smiled, "Because my cousin is getting married, I have to go back for his wedding!"
"I didn't know you had a cousin," Xin Ai said, having only seen Hanno alone when they first met. She thought Hanno was an orphan!
Hanno chuckled, "Don't I? My cousin is actually the Crown Prince of Korea!"
Xin Ai was speechless.
After being by Boss's side for so long, she was just now discovering how impressive Boss's identity was. It felt like she had taken a leap forward. Ha! Yin Junxi, you will never compare to me in this lifetime; and as for Han Tae-seok, with your status as a bastard son, how could you possibly be worthy of me? Thinking that I have a crush on you? Dream on!
"I'll book a flight immediately!"
While Hanno was preparing to return home, Elder Brother Li found himself in big trouble. His domineering mother had bypassed him to arrange his engagement! Engaged to someone other than Hanno?! How could that be? Especially since they were both men! Thus, Elder Brother Li not only fled from the engagement but also left home! His mother was furious and not only revoked his inheritance but also froze all his accounts, thinking that without money he would submit. Little did she know that Elder Brother Li had plenty of valuable items in his possession; selling just one would be enough for him to live comfortably. Besides, Elder Brother Li wasn't a pampered young master used to luxury; he had experienced poverty before and knew how to get by.
Naturally, he couldn't attend Imperial High School anymore, but did Elder Brother Li care? He turned around and got accepted into a national university, slapping the faces of the Imperial Group and Imperial High School hard. Chairman Kim and Esher Li were at a loss with Elder Brother Li; Esher realized that her daughter had become unrecognizable and grown up in ways she couldn't grasp. She wanted to mend her relationship with Elder Brother Li but was unwilling to lower her pride, leading her to hold back until Hanno returned.
Upon returning home, Hanno received a grand reception from the royal family. She was no longer the unknown Li Lu without fame or capital who went unnoticed by the royals. Now, when she stamped her foot, the world’s economic circles trembled; how could the royal family afford to overlook her? Li Xin personally came to the airport to welcome Hanno along with three friends, which naturally attracted a swarm of media eager for news.
"Welcome back!" Li Xin stepped forward to hug Hanno. He felt a mix of emotions towards this cousin—envy, closeness, admiration, jealousy, and resentment.
Li Xin introduced his three friends to Hanno and then whispered with a smile, "The lady beside you is very beautiful; is she your girlfriend?"
"No!" Hanno laughed as she introduced Xin Ai to Li Xin and the others. "This is my assistant, Sister Yin Xin'ai."
"Yin Xin'ai?" Choi Sung-jun exclaimed in surprise.
Liu Huan asked his friend, "Do you know Sister Yin?"
Choi Sung-jun shook his head. "I don't know her personally, but I've heard of her—she's known as the goddess of Wall Street."
Xin Ai smiled and greeted Choi Sung-jun, "That nickname is just something people made up; please don’t call me that, Mr. Choi. It's quite embarrassing!"
Choi Sung-jun gazed at Xin Ai in awe and thought to himself: They were right; she truly is a goddess!
Hanno and Li Xin exchanged a glance. "Ah, spring has arrived!"
Li Xin asked, "Lu, is it true that Sister Yin has nothing to do with you?"
Hanno reassured her, "Don't worry, I have no romantic involvement with Xin Ai. You can encourage your friend to boldly pursue Xin Ai."
News of Hanno's return spread through the media. Elder Brother Li saw Hanno on television and smiled, realizing that fate had come around!
"Lu, there's a girl named Liu Rahe looking for you," Xin Ai said, her eyes sparkling with gossip. "Is she your girlfriend?"
Hanno withdrew his Divine Sense from communicating with Elder Brother Li and smiled. "That's right, she is my girlfriend!"
"What?" Xin Ai exclaimed. "You can't be serious! When did you get a girlfriend? I didn't even know! You've been abroad since you were seven, right? When did you meet a girl from back home?"
"Even though you're my assistant, it doesn't mean you know all my personal matters. I met Rahe online; she's really great. I'm sure she's the one who will accompany me for life." Hanno stood up to greet his beloved—husband? Wife?
"Darling!" Hanno called out as he spotted Elder Brother Li and couldn't help but quicken his pace toward him.
Elder Brother Li opened his arms to welcome his beloved into his embrace, but—
A tall man dove into the arms of the delicate girl, and the scene was...
