I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Jingyi's piano music is selling well! But she is now in a state of panic. The old man of the Wei family passed away at the age of 79. He was a few years older than Lou Zhenhua, so it was normal for him to die at this age.

Originally, Jingyi went to pay her respects and pay her respects, and it would be fine if she just bowed and kowtowed. But the old lady of the Wei family was unreasonable and insisted that she beat the banners and smash the basins and wear heavy mourning. Otherwise, without the grandchildren to serve in the mourning hall, the old man of the Wei family would not be able to rest in peace.

Jingyi's face turned pale on the spot! Why? Your Wei family didn't raise me for a day. Although I also call Mr. Wei grandpa, didn't you see me call Wei Shixian Uncle Wei?

But Wei Shixian begged her humbly. Lou Zhenhua and his wife came over to persuade her, saying that the dead were the greatest and asked her to be patient.

For the sake of her adoptive mother Lou Xiao'e, Jingyi could only swallow her anger. She knelt in mourning and sat on the mourning hall, keeping vigil for Mr. Wei.

After three days of continuous vigil, they finally buried Mr. Wei in Tai O Cemetery on Lantau Island. When Jingyi looked at the tombstone, she found that not only was her name engraved on it, but her last name was also changed.

Lou Zhenhua and his wife were not happy to see this! But now they were in the cemetery, and it would be embarrassing to argue. Wei Shixian came over to plead and explain that he had no choice but to deal with his mother. He had already agreed with the cemetery keeper to change the tombstone in a few days.

After this incident, Jingyi reduced the number of visits to the Wei family. If she wanted to find Lou Xiaoe, she would go directly to their restaurant and try not to meet the old lady of the Wei family.

Jingyi had just returned from school that day when Bill, the music director of Warner Records, called and said that according to authoritative statistics from the Recording Industry Association of North America, her album sales had reached 10 million copies last month, making her her first diamond record.

The share of the album sales last month has also been transferred to her designated HSBC bank account. Congratulations to her for achieving personal financial freedom at the age of 16.

This is the sales performance around the world for one month. According to Bill's estimate, the album sales performance in this year may reach the amazing result of three diamonds.

The reason why the performance is so good is that the quality of the album's tracks is of paramount importance. Another reason is that there are no pirated copies of instrumental music albums. Music fans who like instrumental music pay the most attention to the sound quality, so they will not buy pirated copies at all. Over time, there is no market for pirated instrumental music.

The Recording Industry Association of North America is the most authoritative department that counts sales and rates records. A record can only be called a platinum record if it sells one million copies, and a record can be called a diamond record if it sells ten million copies.

The sales volume of albums in Hong Kong is counted by the Hong Kong Music Association. A record with a sales volume of 50,000 copies is considered a platinum record, and a record with a sales volume of 500,000 copies is considered a diamond record.

This is a far cry from the record ratings of the Recording Industry Association of North America. A gold record in North America is equivalent to a diamond record in Hong Kong. Therefore, the Recording Industry Association of North America will not recognize anything that is not based on the statistics of the world.

Jingyi's diamond record this time is of real value! She will be recognized wherever she goes.

Once she had achieved success, honors followed. The next day, she received a call from Liang, the president of the Music Association, who wanted to recruit her as a director of the Hong Kong Music Association.

Jingyi accepted Chairman Liang's invitation without giving it much thought. These would be her connections in the future, and she would consider them for her future development.

Accepting the position of director of the music association means working for the music association. When organizing some music activities or competitions, Jingyi often sits on the position of organizer or judge.

Her past achievements were there, and no one would question her young age.

In order to make it easier for herself to travel around, Jingyi also bought herself an orange second-generation Porsche 911, which cost $.

In 1977, this sports car was not cheap. Now, a blue-collar worker in the United States only earns 170 to 180 US dollars a month.

There are very few sports cars like this in Hong Kong! Jingyi had a driver's license in her previous life. She went to the Transportation Bureau in Hong Kong, paid the fee, and got the license quickly. But the problem was that she couldn't get a driver's license because she was not yet 18 years old.

I've already bought the car and received the license plate, and you're telling me that I'm not eligible for a driver's license?

Jingyi drove on the road without a driver's license. She was driving a luxury car, and as long as she didn't violate traffic rules, no police would stop her. She had made up her mind that if she was stopped, she would just act like a spoiled child and at most she would be fined.

When Jingyi drove back to the Lou Mansion in a Porsche 911, it immediately caused an uproar in the family. A group of people from the East Courtyard came over and accused the head of the family, Lou Zhenhua, of being partial to him.

He spent a huge amount of money to buy a car for an adopted granddaughter, but his own grandchildren have nothing.

"Are you kidding me? If you want a luxury car, you can buy it yourself! I never asked grandpa for a penny."

Seeing the faces of these people in the East Courtyard, Jingyi was helpless. She didn't expect that such people would appear in such a wealthy family.

"You are still studying at such a young age, where do you get the money to buy a sports car?"

Lou Qiming's eyes turned red! He knew the price of this brand of sports car very well, but he just went to take a look to satisfy his curiosity.

Of course, he is indifferent to the music industry. If he wants to pay attention, he will only pay attention to those dazzling actresses in the film and television industry.

"You have no right to interfere with my income! All you need to know is that I bought this car myself."

Jingyi didn't want to waste time talking to them, so she ran into her room. Lou Qiming wanted to continue to argue, but was stopped by his cousin Lou Qigang.

"Brother, you really wronged your uncle! Niece Jingyi is really rich. I heard that she made tens of millions of US dollars from the piano album she just released." For the sake of family harmony, Lou Qigang told the truth in front of everyone.

Lou Qiming was stunned, and his face flushed. Greed began to shine in his eyes. So, this cheap niece is a cash cow? If she releases a few more albums, wouldn't her net worth be over 100 million US dollars?

He turned and left! He couldn't believe everything his cousin Lou Qigang said. He had to find someone familiar with the industry to find out more about the matter.

When he led the people from the East Courtyard away, Lou Zhenhua, who had been sitting there motionless, sighed deeply, and his face could no longer conceal his tired look. He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant!

It's easy to find out that Jingyi is rich! She's even on the headlines of entertainment news. Album sales are over 10 million copies a month, and this has been certified by North American record companies. This has already broken the record for single album sales in Asia!

"Does this girl really have so much money? Why do I feel that it is so unreliable? Have you really found out everything?"

Lou Qiming's first wife, Lou Yao, was simply unbelievable! She could make a net profit of tens of millions of US dollars in this month. Isn't this faster than printing money?

The current exchange rate in Hong Kong is 1 pound equals 18 Hong Kong dollars. 1 US dollar equals 6.1 Hong Kong dollars. Isn't 10 million US dollars 61 million Hong Kong dollars? This is simply unimaginable! Now a large villa on the Peak in Hong Kong is only more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

"I have asked several people, this cannot be wrong. That girl has been on the headlines of newspapers! When others heard that the girl is my niece, they all came to curry favor with me." Lou Qiming said solemnly.

"Old ginger is still the wisest! Your father is very foresighted. He has kept that little girl by his side for a long time. Who do you think will be the lucky one of this little girl in the future?"

After hearing this, Lou Yaoshi became excited! Raising a girl who has no blood relationship with her since she was a child, isn't this the same as raising a child bride?

Her eldest son, Lou Jiakang, was 28 years old and had already married and had children. But her second son, Lou Jiaju, was only 25 years old and had not yet started a family. If he could marry this girl, wouldn't it be like marrying a cash cow?

"Oh! If I had known she would be like this, I should have been nicer to her when I first came here. Now she seems to be very cold to our East Courtyard!"

Lou Yao was a little worried! This girl had always been indifferent to her aunt. How could she reverse this situation?

"Don't be anxious! This girl is only sixteen years old. It's not too late to improve the relationship. First of all, we need to let Jiawei and Jingyi interact more. It's easier for young people to be together...!"

"What Jiawei are you talking about? It should be Jiaju. I tell you, Lou Qiming, this matter is off the table! I will not give in."

When Lou Yao heard this, she immediately interrupted Lou Qiming. This Lou Jiawei was born to the second wife Zhao. According to the old saying, he was a bastard. There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. How dare a bastard come to snatch the marriage of a legitimate son?

"You are just being unreasonable. Ka Kui is already 25 years old, nine years older than that girl. Ka Wai is only 21 years old, so five years older is just right."

Lou Qiming didn't distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children! He treated his three wives and children equally. If there was any bias, given the tempers of these three wives, they would make the family restless.

Lou Yao gritted her teeth and gave in. "Then let them compete. Whoever the girl likes will be the one."

She had already made up her mind that she would let her son Ka Kui take the initiative. By then, the matter would be settled and no one would compete with her son for it.
