Yan Zhirou could no longer control herself and blurted out all her truths.

She confessed everything, practically turning herself in. Although five years had passed, she still had to take full responsibility and pay the compensation.

The treatment costs and rehabilitation fees for Cheng Kaiyun over the years were a massive expense for the Cheng family, and now, all of that had to be reimbursed by Yan Zhirou.

Yan Zhirou began to feel dazed, unable to comprehend how everything had spiraled this far.

Yan Yanhua came to pick her up, but they didn't return to the Yu family home. Instead, they went to an old rented apartment that Yan Yanhua had outside.

Yan Zhirou heard her say that Yu Guangyi wanted a divorce.

How could this be? Yu Guangyi had already been manipulated by her, and she had set up his story to fall in love with Yan Yanhua, marry her, and make them a family. In the future, all of the Yu family's wealth would pass to her as his adopted daughter.

Why was nothing going according to plan?

It was only when Yan Zhirou recalled that her Fortune-Stealing System had disappeared that she began to realize.

Everything she had once possessed had been reset to zero.

She covered her face in anguish.

Suddenly, she remembered the first time she had met Yu Qianxia, when she was just twelve years old.

She stepped out of a spacious, comfortable luxury car, her shiny black leather shoes gleaming under the light. Her white knee-high socks rolled up above her knees, clinging to her slender calves. The girl was dressed in a chic school uniform, fresh and bright, radiating youthful energy.

Yu Guangyi, dressed in a suit, wore a stern expression, but when he saw his daughter waving at him, a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes.

The girl waved goodbye to her father before turning and entering a well-decorated piano room.

The piano room was clean and bright, with Western sculptures and oil paintings hanging on the walls, exuding a strong artistic atmosphere.

It was a place that Yan Zhirou could never hope to enter in her life.

She stood on the other side of the street, next to a decaying garbage can, the contrast between her and the girl who stepped out of the luxury car was as stark as two different worlds.

But why?

Why did she have to live such a poor life, crammed into a small rental, while the other girl got to enjoy a life of luxury?

The moment Yan Zhirou first saw Yu Qianxia, a deep jealousy took root in her heart.

Then one day, everything changed when she was bound by the Fortune-Stealing System.

The system asked her if she wanted everything Yu Qianxia had.

Without hesitation, Yan Zhirou agreed.

She wanted it, desperately wanted everything that belonged to Yu Qianxia!

From there, things moved smoothly. After binding to the system, Yan Yanhua met the powerful and influential Yu Guangyi and won his favor.

Soon after, Yan Yanhua married into the Yu family, and Yan Zhirou was rightfully living in the place she had longed for countless times.

She had thought she would enjoy a life of wealth and privilege forever, but in the end, it all turned out to be nothing but a fleeting illusion.

Yan Zhirou stared at the crumbling walls, her heart finally sinking into despair.

Knock knock knock.

There was a knock at the door.

Yu Qianxia rose and opened it to find Yu Guangyi standing there, looking somewhat awkward.

"Dad."

Yu Guangyi raised his hand and cleared his throat, "Are you busy? Am I disturbing you?"

Yu Qianxia's voice was calm, "I'm not busy. You're not disturbing me."

Yu Guangyi couldn't help but smile, though it was faint, "It's rare that you're back. Would you like to go out for a meal with your dad?"

After asking, Yu Guangyi nervously glanced at Yu Qianxia. Their father-daughter relationship had always been tense, and he was afraid she might refuse him coldly.

But he didn't know how to explain his situation.

He couldn't exactly say, I was a bad father because I had a mental illness, could he?

Now that his mental illness was under control, he was capable of treating her better—would she even believe that?

Yu Guangyi's mind was filled with anxious thoughts. Just as he was bracing himself for rejection, Yu Qianxia smiled slightly and agreed, "Sure."

Yu Guangyi didn't bring a driver. He drove himself and took Yu Qianxia to a French restaurant.

"Xiaxia, I still remember when you were seven, you told me you wanted to try French food. But I was so busy with work back then, I never found the time to take you. And after that... there just wasn't another chance."

"I got busy, and eighteen years just slipped by."

Yu Guangyi said as they walked, his face full of emotion, his voice a little hoarse.

"Now, I finally have the chance to bring you here."

Yu Qianxia couldn't help but feel a little sour inside. She understood what Yu Guangyi meant.

They had missed out on so, so much as father and daughter.

But thankfully, she had managed to pull it all back.

"It's not too late. Dad, you'll always be my family."
Yu Qianxia rarely said things like that, but in the past few days, she seemed to be saying all of them.

Yu Guangyi's eyes turned red as he listened. He patted Yu Qianxia on the shoulder.
"These past few years, it's me who let you down. I won't let that happen again."

"From now on, no one's allowed to hurt my Xiaxia."

"And I won't let anyone hurt you either."

Yu Qianxia smiled faintly. "And I won't let anyone who hurts you get away with it."

Yu Guangyi laughed, and the faint sadness and regret in the air disappeared. The two of them sat down and started ordering.

Yu Qianxia ordered quite a few dishes, and Yu Guangyi kept urging her to get more, like he wanted to empty out the whole restaurant.

"That's enough, Dad. If we order more, we won't be able to finish it," Yu Qianxia said with a helpless smile.

"If we can't finish, we'll pack it up. There are more people at home now anyway—just give it to those production crew people or something."
Yu Guangyi waved his hand and added a few desserts.

Yu Qianxia found his enthusiasm a little much, but also kind of adorable. It was like a fire had been lit in her chest, warming her up all at once.

They had a good meal. Yu Guangyi talked to her about things at the company, and Yu Qianxia told him about her plans for the future.
