Lazily Yours.

Chapter 3: Work Harder

"What does this mean?" Old Man Huang's second son, Huang Li Duo, squinted his eyes at Lyca. He then stared at the mockery in his father's face. This instantly infuriated him.

"It means that Lyca is a CEO at the young age of eighteen. Is that something that any of your spawns have achieved?" The old man scoffed as he leaned against his leather chair. He eyed his granddaughter's calm expression before he sighed inwardly. This granddaughter of his was truly a mystery.

He then looked at his four children. Huang Ying was frowning from where she sat opposite him. His third son Huang Sheng Hong had his daughter's nonchalant face while his youngest, Huang Qingyun was staring straight at the fireplace. Seeing the four of his children in his study with Lyca only made him realize that he made the right decision.

"What are you talking about?" Huang Ying demanded. "What nonsense is this?" She glared at her younger brother, demanding an explanation. The explosive news from her father earlier was already enough to ruin her night. She never expected that the old man would reveal more shocking news after calling them into his study for a private meeting. "Lyca? A CEO? Are you trying to make me laugh?" her condescending tone echoed inside the old man's office.

"Do you think this is a laughing matter?" her father lifted an eyebrow. "Lyca went abroad to finish her education. She took Chemistry and Physics. At eighteen she started making perfumes. At nineteen she sold the formula to a prominent brand and quickly earned her first five hundred thousand dollars by selling other formulas."

"Now, at twenty-one, she is worth twenty million dollars." He continued, satisfied by the shock on his children's faces. "She earned it on her own, using her own brain, without her father's or my help. Is that something that any one of you had achieved at her age?"

"And why don't we know this?" Huang Ying asked, her gaze landing on the languid Lyca a few chairs away. "Why did you hide this from us?"

"We didn't hide it," Huang Sheng Hong denied. "You simply hadn't asked me or my daughter."

"What kind of excuse is that?" Huang Li Duo barked. "We always thought Lyca never finished her education! And you didn't even bother to correct us? You made us and our families look like fools!" Huang Li Duo's anger exploded at his third brother. How could he have hidden this information from them?

"So it is my fault that you assumed the wrong things?" Huang Sheng Hong asked, his face devoid of any expression.

"You we are your elder siblings!? Do not talk to us like this!" Huang Ying scolded. She let out a sharp breath as anger exploded inside her.

Watching the chaos unfold in front of her only made Lyca sleepy. Disinterest flashed in her eyes. The only reason why she took chemistry and physics was that she wanted to understand more about this parallel world. However, she could not tell them this. She also couldn't tell them that selling formulas was the easiest method that she found to earn money without working very much, ah.

Lyca eyed her grandfather, who was already staring at her. To be honest, she wasn't very surprised that the old man knew about her secret. Well it wasn't really a secret. Lyca had only made sure to keep people from noticing her. Neither she nor her parents told anyone about her achievements, and they never bothered correcting anyone who ridiculed them in the past.

To them, it wasn't really a big deal. At the end of the day, Lyca and her parents had peace, and people didn't scheme behind their backs as they never saw them as threats. Wasn't that what everyone wanted? To live a lazy and casual life?

Lyca and her parents wanted to live in peace. And that was the reason why they never told anyone about her education or achievements.

However, explaining this to the Huang Family was quite difficult. The Huang Family had been fighting for status and recognition since forever. They wanted power and more power. They wanted money, fame, and recognition. To these people, wealth was everything.

How could they understand the concept of life that Lyca wanted?

"I accept your decision," Lyca spoke for the first time, interrupting the argument that her aunt and uncle were trying to raise. She eyed her grandfather. "Since you already made your decision, then I will accept it." Being an heir was something that Lyca had already experienced in her previous life. The only difference was... this time she did not have to kill anyone to get it.

Wasn't that nice?

She knew it would not be an easy journey. However, this was a new lifetime. And people who become heiresses in this world were pampered. She smiled inwardly. This only meant more servants and food, right?

"Then, all is good. Your training will start soon. I will have someone "

"I want someone good looking to train me," Lyca declared shamelessly. She smiled as her aunt's and uncles' jaws dropped, their eyes wide as they stared at her in horror.

Good looking? What kind of request was that?

However, instead of reprimanding her, Old Man Huang let out a burst of deep heartfelt laughter. He shook his head helplessly before looking at Lyca.

"Good. I will arrange that."

"Father!" Huang Ying recovered from her surprise. She instantly objected, "Can't you see? This is the wrong decision!"

"Aunt Ying actually, this is only logical," Lyca chimed in. Slowly a smile appeared on her lips. "I am fairly young. I value beauty above all else. This A beautiful person would only encourage me to work harder."

"You "

"Also, I want to go and study management," Lyca interrupted her aunt. Her perfume business was quite simple and all she actually did was sell formulas. As embarrassing as it may seem, Lyca did not have any idea how to manage a proper business. That and she wanted to infuriate the people in this room.

"I don't have a background in business, and I am only thriving in my perfume sales because of my knowledge of chemicals." And poisons, she wanted to add, but in the end, she decided against it.

She couldn't really tell them that she only took chemistry because she wanted to create poisonous chemicals right?
