Chapter 24.1 - Bet

"Why do you have no goals?"

"It might be because of this- but it's true that no matter what I want, I obtain it very easily."

Chu Yu gave an example. "Let's say I'm an elementary student and my goal is to buy an action figure. Another kid would become very economical and save the week's pocket money, but my pocket money is more than enough, so I don't need to save up at all and can buy a bunch just by swiping my card."

"There's also this sister surnamed Lin who took good care of me. Her goal is to inherit her father's business and expand their corporation's territory, so she has always worked hard. She'll definitely achieve this goal in the future."

Watching the people walking by, Lu Shi seemed to see a familiar shadow.

He - once before - apparently also had the same perplexity.

Without being perfunctory, Lu Shi seriously asked, "Have you ever thought about inheriting your family business?"

As if prodded, Chu Yu waved his hands repeatedly. "My brother and sister are very talented. Inheriting the family business or anything, it doesn't need me at all and I'm also not interested."

"Are you not interested in it yourself, or did someone tell you not to be interested?"

Chu Yu was startled. "What do you mean?"

Lu Shi put it bluntly, "A lot of people must've told you that since you're the youngest, you don't need to inherit your family business; you don't need to be excellent nor do you need to work hard."

"How did you know?" Chu Yu deliberately relaxed his tone. "It's indeed like this. Many elders, including Aunt Lan who took care of me while growing up, say so. My friend, He Zhihao, says the same as well."

He also remembered that He Zhihao had once told him enviously, 'Chu Yu, your life's really good. Your family's wealth has accumulated for so many years, your mother's skills are remarkable, and your brother and sister have fully inherited your mother's brain and skills. Most importantly, they don't ask you to learn this and that! In any case, in this life, you don't have to worry about eating, drinking, and having fun. Even if you spend money every day, you'll have enough to waste for a lifetime!'

Chu Yu thought the same way before.

That even if the sky fell, his turn to support it would never come.

He knew that many people instilled this idea in him in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of an inner strife. Plus, he himself didn't possess the desire to compete for family property, feeling that doing the things he liked was enough to make every day of his life happy.

As for exerting effort, working hard, and setting goals to achieve, he'd never considered these.

Therefore, after listening to Zhu Zhifei and Wei Guanglei's conversation, he suddenly realized- it turns out there's such a way to exist.

Looking back at his first 17 years, it seemed as if he'd treaded life in a muddle-headed manner, retaining nothing.

Relaxing his clenched fingers, Chu Yu paused, and when he looked at Lu Shi he asked, "There's a problem with this kind of thinking, right?"

In his view, he was completely at a loss, as if he encountered a problem he couldn't solve. He subconsciously sought out Lu Shi and wanted to receive answers or suggestions from him.

Unconsciously being dependent.

Lu Shi returned his gaze but didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "If I say that it's right or wrong, it would be of no significance. Only you can answer this question."
