I grew up in a place called Shengcheng. Although it wasn’t very large, it was quite prosperous and bustling.

I had an uncle who was the richest man in Shengcheng! His name was Shane Yu, and he had three wives.

This uncle wasn’t related to my family by blood; he was my aunt’s husband’s younger brother. Next, I’ll tell you a story about us.

My maternal grandmother had two daughters. As the eldest daughter, my mother naturally shouldered more family responsibilities and obligations, caring for the family like a second mother. Therefore, the two sisters had an exceptionally deep bond.

Now let’s talk about Uncle Shane Yu’s family background! He had two brothers. The eldest was the factory manager of a well-known local company, owning not only his factory but also the land. The second brother was my aunt’s husband, and he was the village’s Party Secretary. As for the youngest, Uncle Shane Yu, he was the richest man in Shengcheng, with immense wealth and influence.

Every New Year and Spring Festival, people are always eager to visit relatives and friends and exchange blessings. When I was 15, my mother took me to visit my aunt for the Lunar New Year. It was during that visit that I first met Uncle Shane Yu, the man who would later change my life…

In the cold winter, he wore a meticulously tailored light gray suit, a long black wool coat, elegant black leather shoes, and a gold Vacheron Constantin watch. He had clean, jet-black hair, extremely handsome features, and a delicate, youthful face. He was 185 cm tall and weighed 74 kg. His assistant and driver followed closely behind. That was my first impression of a domineering CEO from a novel. It seemed like Uncle Shane Yu was the perfect example of what a character should look like.

Uncle Shane Yu looked at me, a joyful smile on his face, and gently pinched my cheek. “The little girl is so adorable!” Meanwhile, I was wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket, my two long braids swaying in the breeze. My large eyes with deep double eyelids and snow-white skin made me stand out in the crowd, instantly winning hearts.

I lowered my head slightly and gave my uncle a shy, sweet smile: “Uncle, you’re very handsome too! The most handsome man I’ve ever seen!” Hearing this, Uncle Shane Yu’s face lit up with undisguised joy, and he laughed heartily, patting my shoulder affectionately. “This little girl will surely achieve great things in the future.” Just then, my aunt’s son, Ethan Yu, came to find me to go outside and build a snowman.

“Sharon Yao, come out and build a snowman!”

“Brother, I’m here!” I replied.

Uncle Shane Yu looked at me with a beaming smile: “Your name is good! It’s ‘Money Shaker’!”

I turned back to look at my uncle with a smile, then ran outside to build a snowman.

We were building a snowman next to Uncle’s Land Rover, whose wheels were almost taller than me.

My older brother, Ethan Yu, stroked Uncle’s car, clearly adoring it: “When I grow up, I want to drive a car like that too!”

“What kind of car is that?”

“It’s called a Range Rover Extended Wheelbase, it costs over 2.6 million!”

I shook my head, confused. “I don’t know anything about cars!”

I continued building the snowman. I had a snowball fight with my brother and other friends, running around happily and setting off fireworks.

My only thought when I was little was: “Chinese New Year is so great!” There was lucky money, new clothes, and all sorts of delicious food and snacks. My friends were all around, playing together.

I was running, and the snow was so slippery in winter, I slipped and fell, it hurt so much! Just then, Uncle Shane Yu saw me and picked me up.

“Little girl, are you hurt?”

I felt so warm in Uncle’s arms, and he had a faint scent of mint tobacco on him.

Uncle Shane Yu looked at me with a gentle, refined expression and said, “Uncle, let me see if you’ve hurt your leg.”

“No need, thank you, Uncle, I’m fine!”

I slowly stood up, looking up at Uncle Shane Yu with a bright smile.

Shane Yu gently patted my head. “So strong! You didn’t even cry.”

“Crying will make you ugly! I want to stay beautiful forever!”

Shane Yu looked at me and laughed heartily! “Little girl, you’re so interesting!”

Uncle Shane Yu walked out the door, and his whole family came out to see him off, chatting warmly, catching up on each other’s family ties, and discussing when they would meet again.

I looked up at my uncle and waved goodbye!

My uncle looked at me with joy and waved back.

On my way home, my mother suddenly said to me seriously, “Stay away from that Uncle Shane Yu from now on. He has three wives, the youngest being only 18.”

I was puzzled, “Why does he have three wives?”

“Because he’s incredibly rich!”

“Don’t his wives get jealous of each other?”

“That’s not our concern, Sharon. Stay away from him. Mom wants you to be happy for the rest of your life! Don’t become someone’s…” My mother swallowed the rest of her words.

“I know, Mom! I’ll stay away from Uncle!”

* Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now I’m eighteen years old, a beautiful and charming young woman.

Tomorrow is my brother Ethan Yu’s wedding day, and I’m incredibly excited. He’s my aunt’s son, and also my closest relative.

To give him a perfect wedding, I arrived at his house a day early to help prepare all the necessary items. Just as I was about to leave, I bumped into Uncle Shane Yu coming from the opposite direction.

His chest was very hard, making my forehead ache a little. I looked up at the uncle in front of me. Although three years had passed, he was still handsome, tall, and dashing, his charm undiminished. Especially his baby face, paired with a custom-made suit, exuded sophistication. It was impossible not to exclaim how handsome he was!

I excitedly called out, “Uncle!”

Uncle Shane Yu’s eyes held a hint of displeasure. But upon seeing that it was me, a delighted smile spread across his face: “Little girl, you’ve grown so much!”

The little girl in Uncle Shane Yu’s eyes had blossomed into a graceful young woman. She was about 165 cm tall and weighed under 100 pounds, with a very well-proportioned figure. Her skin was like snow, her eyes large and bright, and her double eyelids added a touch of allure. Her features were exquisitely crafted, like a work of art; she was the most eye-catching person wherever she went. Shane Yu liked her very much!

Uncle Shane Yu’s gaze softened as he asked, “Did I bump into you and hurt you?”

I looked up at Uncle Shane Yu, a smile playing on my lips. “I’m fine.”

“Sharon Yao, hurry up, we need to get to the wedding hotel!” My aunt called anxiously from outside.

“Uncle, I’ll go get busy first.” With that, I ran towards my aunt.

“Little girl, slow down!” Uncle Shane Yu called after me.
