Chapter Ten: I Want the Entire Series!

Liu Jiayi’s eyes were practically spitting fire. Liu Yiyi—how dare she!

"Apologize?" Liu Jiayi gritted her teeth. "Who do you think you are!"

She tugged at Mrs. Liu’s sleeve. "Mother, we cannot apologize!"

However, Mrs. Liu suddenly shook off Liu Jiayi’s hand, staring fixedly at Liu Yiyi. Her lips trembled, as if it took every ounce of her strength to utter the next words. At this moment, Mrs. Liu wished she could tear Liu Yiyi to pieces.

She took a deep breath, the words forced out from between her teeth: "I’m sorry."

Before the words had even faded, Mrs. Liu grabbed Liu Jiayi and rushed out of the hotel lobby as if running, appearing as though something terrifying were chasing them.

The scene erupted in cheers and applause.

"Serves them right!"

"So satisfying!"

"Those two have no class at all! Bullying a weak girl—what kind of skill is that?"

"Exactly! And they were so stubborn even when they were wrong. Now they’ve lost all face."

The livestream was in an uproar, with comments flying by like snowflakes:

"Liu Yiyi is the GOAT! She played the Liu family for fools!"

"So awesome, I’m thrilled with this result."

"The Liu family has really shot themselves in the foot this time!"

Liu Yiyi stood where she was, watching the mother and daughter’s pathetic retreat with a cold sneer on her lips. They had better remember this lesson and stay out of her way from now on. Otherwise, the next time wouldn't be settled by a simple apology.

After the livestream ended, the news of "Discarded daughter of the Liu family makes a comeback, Liu mother and daughter apologize in public" spread across the internet at lightning speed. Within just a few hours, related topics dominated the trending lists on all major social platforms.

"#Liu family’s fake daughter makes a comeback#"
"#Liu mother and daughter apologize in public#"
"#Liu Yiyi wins the lottery#"
"#Five million lottery jackpot!#"

Comments poured in like a tidal wave.

"From a wealthy heiress to a discarded daughter, then to a lottery-winning rich woman—this plot is more exciting than a TV drama!"

"The Liu family’s behavior is truly disgusting. I hope Liu Yiyi can lead a better life."

"Good begets good and evil begets evil, as expected! Are the Liu family members’ faces swollen from the slap yet?"

"I can’t even imagine—if those two had succeeded, wouldn't Liu Yiyi have been thrown into prison? That is just too vicious!"

Liu Yiyi’s phone vibrated incessantly as countless messages from strangers and social media poured in. She took one look, set the phone down, and turned off all notifications.

Half an hour later, Liu Yiyi stepped into the luxurious lobby of the St. Regis Hotel. The crystal chandelier sparkled overhead, and her figure was reflected on the marble floor.

"Welcome, Miss Liu," the front desk manager bowed respectfully. "Your presidential suite is ready."

He cast a covert but envious glance at Liu Yiyi. This was the lucky person from the internet who had won five million in the lottery! Heaven was truly too kind to her; he had thought she would fall into the mud after being exposed as a fake heiress, but instead, she had turned around and won five million. It was as if the heavens were spoon-feeding her, afraid she might go hungry. And she was so beautiful, to boot.

"Very well, this is your room. Miss Liu, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time."

"Also, you can rest assured regarding security. Our hotel has hundred-man security patrols twenty-four hours a day. We will certainly guarantee our guests' safety; the incident you encountered previously will absolutely not happen here."

Liu Yiyi nodded in satisfaction. The decor in the suite was quite good, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the entire city was laid out before her eyes. Standing beside the silk curtains, she felt a multitude of emotions.

"Miss Liu," the attendant said respectfully, "the hotel has arranged a private dinner prepared by a three-star Michelin chef, as well as top-tier spa treatments available at any time. Is there anything else you require?"

Liu Yiyi recalled the hotel brochure she had seen. "I heard your hotel also has a luxury boutique?"

"Yes, it is on the third floor. Would you like me to take you there?"

"No need, I’ll go myself."

She was ready to treat herself!

Liu Yiyi took the elevator to the third floor and pushed open the glass door of the boutique. Inside, a saleswoman was organizing the shelves; seeing someone enter, she hurried forward.

"Welcome." The clerk looked up, sized Liu Yiyi up from head to toe, and maintained a perfunctory smile. "Is there something you need?"

"I’d like to look at your latest line of handbags."

"Certainly, please follow me."

The clerk led Liu Yiyi to a display case and pointed casually. "These are our latest limited editions, the price is..."

"I’ll take them all," Liu Yiyi said calmly.

The clerk froze. "Excuse me, what did you say?"

"I said," Liu Yiyi repeated slowly, "I want the whole collection. One of each color."

The clerk’s eyes widened. "Guest, are you sure?"

"This collection has 12 colors, the total value is over..."

"I know," Liu Yiyi said, pulling a black card from her bag. "Swipe the card."

"Have them delivered to the presidential suite later."

***

They were just handbags, totaling only a few hundred thousand; this was a price she could still afford. She was only finding a little joy for now; when the stocks tripled a hundredfold in a few days, that was when she would go on a real shopping spree. She would shop until her eyes grew sore!

As expected, after her shopping spree, Liu Yiyi felt refreshed and finally had an appetite for dinner. At dinner, the three-star Michelin chef personally introduced each dish to her. When the aroma of truffles and caviar bloomed on her tongue, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but close her eyes, savoring the wonderful moment.

"Ah, this is what life is about."

After dinner, Liu Yiyi went for a skincare treatment. The manager of the top-tier spa center personally served her.

"Miss Liu, we have prepared a full care package for you, including a 24K gold mask and caviar essence massage..."

Liu Yiyi lay on the soft massage bed, enjoying the fragrance of the essential oils.

***

At the Liu family mansion, financial analyst Li Mingsi had been walking for over ten minutes without reaching the central villa, and he couldn't help but feel inwardly shocked. Was this the foundation of the Liu family? The grounds were far too large, and the paths were lined with meticulously groomed lawns and elegantly shaped shrubs. He didn't even know how much a single one of those sculpted pine trees would cost. Li Mingsi swallowed hard, secretly envious. He probably couldn't afford such a mansion even if he worked for his entire life.

The butler led him through a spacious corridor; beneath his feet was a soft carpet, and rare oil paintings hung on the walls, all of which looked priceless. Seeing that they were about to arrive at the living room, Li Mingsi averted his gaze.

Mrs. Liu sat gracefully on a leather sofa, looking poised and noble. Her gaze landed on Li Mingsi with a hint of scrutiny.

"Madam, this is Mr. Li Mingsi, the financial analyst who had an appointment with you," the butler introduced respectfully.

Li Mingsi quickly bowed. "Hello, Mrs. Liu."

Mrs. Liu nodded slightly. "Sit. I hear you have a sound investment proposal?"

Li Mingsi sat down nervously and took a document out of his briefcase.

"Yes, Madam. I would like to recommend the stock of a company to you—XG-Tech."

"This company is developing a revolutionary early cancer detection technology. If successful, it will completely transform the medical industry!"

"Of course, it will also bring generous returns to investors!"
