"I know."

"Don't walk alone in the dark, and don't make friends with sketchy people. After all, you'll be in a foreign country," Lisa tirelessly reminded her brother.

"Call me if you need money, don't cut corners and not feed yourself properly."

"Noona... I know."

"Oh, and... you have a weak stomach, so don't eat too much seafood... Although seafood is cheap in New Zealand... if you eat too much, you might suffer from chronic diseases. Remember to drink lots of warm water."

"Noona... I'm a grown-ass man, not a kid anymore." Haruto smiled.

Lisa covered her mouth and began sobbing; she really didn't want Haruto to leave.

"Doll... what are you doing?" Heartbroken, Jungkook put his arm around Lisa.

"Noona... don't be sad. I'm going to school, not to be tortured... I'll miss you and Mom, and I'll take good care of myself. Don't worry about me." Haruto's eyes turned red upon seeing his sister cry...

Lisa's mother walked out of the kitchen to see them like that, and she began crying as well.

"Don't be like that, you two, I'm really sad too... It's a good thing that he's going to school. Don't overseas students come back to be successful? Why are you crying? If Uncle Watanabe knew that Haruto was going abroad to study, he would be happy for him..." Lisa's mother said as she wailed.

In the end, the three of them cried as they hugged each other...

Jungkook didn't know what to say; he felt bad seeing them like this.

He was especially heartbroken seeing Lisa cry like that...

– The Oh Mansion –

It was late, but all the lights in the mansion were still on.

"Tell me, how do you plan to gather 400 million in 3 days? Where can you get that kind of money...?"

Mr. Oh was sitting on the couch, holding a teacup in his hand. He interrogated Sooyoung with a stern expression on his face.

"Honey... I don't have that much, but I couldn't stand seeing our son go to prison...he's your son as well."

"Don't change the subject. Tell me, how much have you saved up over all these years?"

"Honey..." Sooyoung wanted to coyishly brush past the subject.

"Answer me."

"I didn't do it on purpose, I just wanted to leave ourselves with a Plan B... If something were to happen down the road, at least we won't end up on the streets..." Sooyoung explained quietly.

"So? How much did you save up?"

Hyunjae and Nancy sat beside their mother, not daring to make a sound.

Mrs. Oh went to stay at her mother's, so it was just the four of them at home, making the conversation easier.

"Not that much, just a little over 200 million..."

Sooyoung said quietly...

"Hahaha... just a little over 200 million... Sooyoung, I've really underestimated you, you've sure got your ways..." Mr. Oh sneered.

"Honey... the 200 million isn't all in cash, I made some money financing and investing in the stock market as well as real estate. It's not just the Oh Family's money."

"So... you have more than 200 million. What about the rest of the 100 or so million?" Mr. Oh asked, word for word.

"Honey... Siyi is your son too, you have to help him. Can you help us with the rest?"
