Chapter 5: Rich and Willful

Su Weiwei held her phone and once again checked her design drafts.

In her past life, at this very time, she had just slept with Lu Yushi and was on the run, hiding away in the countryside to avoid him…

She had suffered miserably, wasting that one billion!

Until her legs were broken, her eyes blinded, and she could no longer run. By the time she realized it, that one billion had been siphoned off by someone else, leaving her with only five million.

In the end, she could only gloomily buy a tiny property in Hang City and live a miserable, bitter life.

Now she had both a house and savings, but it was far from enough.

She kept her goal firmly in mind—destroy Lu Yushi!

Lu Yushi was Asia’s richest man. The billion he gave her as “breakup money” was like plucking a single hair off an ox—utterly insignificant.

Su Weiwei knew clearly the gap between herself and Lu Yushi was enormous. To take him down, she had to become a female tycoon powerful enough to rival him!

Murder was illegal—she’d rot in prison.

If she tried to assassinate him but failed, only to be killed by him instead, that would be even more tragic…

Narrowing her eyes, Su Weiwei tapped lightly on the design draft displayed on her screen.

Right now, the Lu Corporation’s biggest project was the University City development. In her previous life, the Lu Group had made a staggering fifty billion from it.

Her power was too weak for now. If she could snatch the project, she would.

If not, she would sabotage it!

Unreasonable? Maybe. But who told her to have a blood feud with Lu Yushi?

If Lu Yushi lost the University City project, he’d lose fifty billion.

If he lost fifty billion, that would be as good as her earning fifty billion!

So now she needed to try and seize the project—though at the moment she barely had one billion to her name!

Su Weiwei squeezed the nine-hundred-million balance on her bank card and instantly felt poor.

But being broke didn’t matter. She could make money!

A poor bum who doesn’t know how to make money is nothing but a useless salted fish.

The second thing Su Weiwei did after rebirth—buy lottery tickets!

Yes, the lottery.

She remembered very clearly that in her past life, on this very day, while on the run she had casually bought a lottery ticket near the train station, just to break a large bill.

The numbers she picked were based on her birthday, Lu Yushi’s birthday, today’s date, and their wedding date.

She remembered them perfectly: 03 08 09 13 05 20 10 (multiplied once).

And it hit! First prize!

Unfortunately, at that time she was being hunted everywhere by Lu Yushi, and the ticket had gotten soaked in water, ruined beyond recognition.

Su Weiwei set down her glass on the coffee table and immediately looked it up online.

Today’s jackpot pool: ten billion!

Buy!

She was going to be the first woman in history to empty the jackpot pool!

Su Weiwei washed her face, then immediately headed out.

Not long after she left, a man and woman crept suspiciously toward the door of her house…

The residential community was well-equipped, and soon Su Weiwei found a lottery shop in the nearby commercial center.

“Boss, this number—buy me 99 times, five tickets!”

The same number, 99 times each, five tickets?

The shop owner gave her a strange look.

“A single-color ball bet is 2 yuan. If you multiply it by 99, that’s 2 × 99 = 198 yuan. Buy five, that’s 990 yuan. I’ve been in this business for years, but I’ve never seen anyone buy like this!”

Buying 100 times didn’t mean you’d get 100 times the prize money—it depended on the jackpot.

Five tickets at 99 times each, first prize guaranteed at five million—she was buying 495 multiples. On paper it looked like she could win 247,500,000,000… over two trillion!

But was that possible?

That’s not how the lottery worked. Even if you hit the jackpot with multiple tickets, the maximum payout was only the jackpot pool.

In other words, buying five tickets at 99 times each was the same as buying one at 99 times—the extra four tickets were just wasted money.

And besides, no one had ever won at 99 times before…

The shop owner thought she was just daydreaming. If she really won, he’d call her daddy!

After explaining, he saw Su Weiwei unmoved. Curiously, he asked, “So why still buy five?”

Su Weiwei smirked. “Because I’m rich, and willful!”

Shop owner: “…”
