My name is Ye Xing Xiao, successor to the largest economic business holder that is worth billions. In every corner of China, you'll hear my name and you'd acknowledge it. I am entitled to many large properties and mansions located on the different parts of the country. Though I am 39 years old I look as if I am yet to reach 25 because of my youthful glow that can leave men falling in their knees as they retrace my footsteps. No marriage to tie me down yet I never lack lovers.
I seem to live a fulfilling life but on the 21st of March, I died in a car accident. I drove my Bugatti Veyron in a slippery slope road to a high end of a cliff. I died on impact. 3 days later the commissioners of police found my remains all over the site along with scattered expensive car. The public threw the grandest funeral but none that knows me well came to pay respect. No family and no friends that mourned.
I was adopted by the Ye family and before my adoptive parents passed I fought tooth and nail to gain full rights to be a successor, against their legitimate children. Who says blood is thicker than water? It's no wonder that the day I'd die the legitimate children of my adopted parents would celebrate and rush to city hall to claim what I left behind.
As for the "friends" I made over managing my business are now fawning over my adoptive brothers and sisters. As long as their money is unaffected, anyone could fulfill my place as a successor. They'd kiss the anyone's sole feet if they could gain from them.
Before I stood at the top of the food chain, I thought I'd be the happiest person alive as I look down on those who stand below. I thought I was deserving of the title since I abandoned all meaning for it. I didn't realize beforehand how lonely, cold and violent it was to be on top.
If only I knew from the beginning, I would be willing to trade this kind of lifestyle for a simple place in the country with a family, true friends, and a partner to spend a lifetime. If only I didn't walk the road blindfolded would I be able to see that money and fortune cannot exchange for a fulfilling life?
... my soul is lonely and will never be in peace... but it's too late... too late now
