The Birth of the Magic City's First Conglomerate

Turning thirty is an awkward age. Some people shine brightly and achieve glory at this age, while others find their lives a messy struggle.

Undoubtedly, Chen Pingsheng belonged to the latter....

Chapter 724: Things About the Wealthy Family

Time flies, and the three years in Shenzhen went by especially quickly.

Chen Lu was walking home from school, following in Su Xiaoxi's footsteps.

The two of them walked one after the other facing the setting sun, their shadows stretching out quite long.

During these three years, Chen Lu was not timid. He would stand bravely in front of Su Xiaoxi like a tough guy.

Take on all the sarcasm and all the grievances for her.

Three years of ordinary days allowed him to gradually integrate into the ordinary and return to the ordinary.

He seemed to have forgotten that he was born into a wealthy family, and he also imagined that if he was not from a wealthy family, would his mother still so strongly prevent him from being friends with Su Xiaoxi?

The third year of junior high school is the beginning of puberty and the budding period of emotions.

Chen Lu is still the same as when he was a child, and only likes to play with Su Xiaoxi alone.

Su Xiaoxi, who was walking in front, was no longer as confident as she was when she was a child, but she was not that indifferent either.

Just as her mother couldn't persuade him to give Chen Lu a point.

She has her own persistence and principles.

Chen Lu has paid enough.

If she still relied on giving him points to help him save up a big villa for his family, she might become the same as before.

She tucked her neck tightly into her sleeves, not daring to speak to him, let alone treat him like this again.

A simple stroll in the sunset.

"Xiaoxi, wait for me."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Of course you're waiting for me to go home together!"

"You've been saying this for three years. Can't you run faster?"

"Run fast, I'm afraid you'll fall!"

"Tsk...you're running fast, why are you afraid that I'll fall?"

"If I'm fast, you have to be fast too. Of course I'm afraid you'll fall!"

Su Xiaoxi in front actually slowed down after hearing this, so slowly that it was out of tune with the fast-paced life in this city.

When they walked home, Chen Lu would say goodbye to her, and then watch her go in before he went back.

The house was still the same small house as before, but the difference was that this time Su's mother rented it herself.

She no longer makes a fuss, but instead stays close to her daughter and lives her life.

After cooking two home-cooked dishes, Su's mother did not forget to remind her daughter.

"Xiao Xi, we don't have much money at home. If you keep going like this, we'll be living on dirt next month."

"Mom... didn't Chen Lu's father give you five million a few years ago?"

"My dear daughter, do you think five million is a lot? Where do we live here? You need to go to school, and I have to take care of you wholeheartedly, and I also have to buy you beautiful clothes. Do you think these things don't cost money?"

"No matter how much we spend, we can't spend five million in three years, right?"

Su Xiaoxi was almost crying. The little thought of equality she had just mentioned was shattered by her mother.

"Mom, I beg you, we are not the same as before, can you be a little more frugal with your money? I don't even need new clothes, let alone any cosmetics!"

“Is saving useful?”

Mother Su frowned and said, "Don't you see what kind of family Chen Lu belongs to? His sister Chen Anan graduated from university in July this year, and she invited all the senior students to go on a three-month global sailing tour. This trip alone will cost at least 200 to 300 million yuan, and the trip is on their own world-class cruise ship that cost over 40 billion yuan.

"Xiao Xi, don't you watch the news?

"Chen Lu's second sister, Chen Xinyi, who is only in her third year of high school, has officially inherited the family's investment of over 40 billion yuan in the Magic City's only seven-star tourist hotel, Liangshan.

"Do you think that just because Chen Lu has lived next door to you for three years, you can deceive yourself that he is an ordinary person?

"Never. Stop deceiving yourself. With a family like theirs, if I don't spend my money on you, and Chen Lu doesn't like you anymore, how can you change your fate and marry into a wealthy family?"

Su Xiaoxi felt a little suffocated. She was suffocating her mother, who had not changed over the years.

Of course, everyone in the world can blame her mother, except her.

No matter what, her mother gave everything for her.

Perhaps knowing her daughter's temperament, Su's mother said in a soft voice, "Xiaoxi, I'm not forcing you. I just hope you can recognize yourself and stop deceiving yourself. Chen Lu's two elder sisters, Chen Anan, who graduated from university, is not to be mentioned. She is the national princess that everyone wants to marry and the beautiful CEO of countless companies. His second elder sister is also the most famous second princess in the Magic City. Her signboard is universally recognized. At a young age, she is already worth hundreds of billions. Because of you, Chen Lu has lived an ordinary life for three years, but he has also been restricted by his family.

"Didn't you notice?

"When his two older sisters were his age, they could easily spend tens of billions of dollars from their family. Their parents were very willing to spend money to raise them since they were young. You and I both lived in Shanghai!

"Can you forget how his two sisters have lived all this time?"

What can I do if I can’t forget?

Su Xiaoxi thought stubbornly in her heart that even if she was still in her previous family, she was still not worthy of Chen Lu.

And now, she is very content.

Su Xiaoxi thought aggrievedly.

The next day, when the two went to school together again, a boy in the class who didn't do well in school actually stood up and confessed his love to Su Xiaoxi.

This made her feel a little embarrassed and even a little angry.

As expected, Chen Lu stood in front of Su Xiaoxi, but the boy in front of him said to Chen Lu with disdain:

“Get away from me, you lapdog.

"How can you be worthy of being with Su Xiaoxi all the time?"

As expected, the two men wrestled with each other, and Chen Lu didn't win this time because the boy had been practicing Taekwondo since he was a child.

It is definitely true that his family is rich, and it is also true that he looks down on Chen Lu.

Su Xiaoxi saw that Chen Lu was at a disadvantage and was being pinned down and beaten.

Without hesitation, he picked up a brick from the ground and hit the boy on the body.

"It's bleeding, it's bleeding."

After he shouted twice in surprise, the school security guards and teachers also came.

On the other side, Chen Lu stood up and immediately called his father, because Su Xiaoxi had really hit someone hard this time.

Two people walking in the sunset are in trouble.

After receiving the call, Chen Pingsheng was silent for a while, which was rare. Then he said, "Isn't this the ordinary life you have always wanted to see? Your mother hopes you can go back. As long as you go back, everything will be fine."

Chen Lu didn't want to go back, he wanted to face it together with Su Xiaoxi.

Sure enough, the boy’s father was no ordinary person. He wanted Su Xiaoxi to be expelled from school and even asked her to pay all the family property.

Even if Su's mother knelt down and apologized, it would be useless.

Ordinary people have always been so weak and powerless in the face of such things.

The school probably also values ​​Su Xiaoxi's academic performance, so naturally they are reluctant to expel her.

But it is also true that their parents are rich and powerful. In the end, Su Xiaoxi's family took out the only remaining 800,000 yuan to completely settle the matter.

Su Xiaoxi felt very guilty, but her mother smiled and did not blame her. She even said that this was a good thing.

Perhaps knowing what her mother was thinking, Su Xiaoxi locked herself in the room and did not come out for a long time.

She lay on her desk, tilting her head to watch the sunset.

Family background...the gap between families is as wide as a chasm.

It is unpredictable, and no matter how hard you run, you can't really get close to it.

Even if he is right in front of you.

Su Xiaoxi burst into tears. From the next day, she became indifferent again and was no longer enthusiastic towards Chen Lu.

She no longer went to and from school with him, and the two of them seemed to have become the most familiar strangers.

This caught Chen Lu off guard, and he didn't even know the reason.

He also wanted to tell Su Xiaoxi if he was very fierce yesterday, like Sylvester Stallone in the movie.

As a result, Su Xiaoxi ignored him.

He ran fast, and she ran fast too.

He ran slower, and she ran slower too.

The two people are like a parallel line, seemingly close but never really touching.

And all of this was seen by another girl.

Her name is Shen Xi.

If there is a perfect girl in this world, it would probably be her.

As soon as she arrived at the school, she caused a sensation and shock among countless boys.

Just like her family background and appearance, everything was impeccable, and this perfect girl also spoke for the first time and called out to Chen Lu who was running in front of her.

"Chen Lu."

Countless people turned around and looked at her in surprise, but Chen Lu herself was the only one with an absent-minded look on her face.

"What are you going to do?"

"I want to talk to you!"

"What can we talk about?"

"Don't we have anything to talk about? For example, this classmate Su Xiaoxi you've been pursuing."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It seems that you still don't understand girls' minds. The harder you chase her, the faster she will run."

Chen Lu stopped and asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Of course you should relax a little."

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to chase me so closely. You should know why I transferred to this school."

"I know a little bit."

"Yeah, you probably know a little bit."

Chen Xi is as her name suggests, gentle, kind, and very understanding. A girl like her can only be the result of being nurtured by a big family since childhood.

"One day I was happily playing the piano at home when your mother suddenly came to my house and pointed at me and asked, 'What's the name of this little girl?

"I told her happily with a smile that my name is Chen Xi, Chen is the Chen of Chenyang, and Xi is the Xi of Chenxi.

"I thought your mom was a special guest at my house, but I didn't expect her arrival to make me leave my international school where I had countless friends and besties, and come to this ordinary junior high school where I don't know anyone. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Because no one can refuse your mother!"

Shen Xi seemed to be talking about a trivial matter, "You may not know how reluctant I was at the time, but there was no way. My parents did not dare to refuse your mother, just like no one in my family dared to say no to your mother. So I became your classmate.

"What I didn't expect was that you have such a strong mother and two powerful sisters, but you are as weak as a pathetic creature, even more like a lapdog, chasing after a girl who is not worthy of you every day.

"Chen Lu, I really look down on you, and I can understand why your mother is so disappointed!"

Maybe he said what he had been thinking all along.

Shen Xi smiled sincerely from the bottom of her heart. No one could understand someone like her.

She is obviously also a little princess from a wealthy family.

But just because of a word from the other party, she left her most familiar and favorite environment and came to this strange and somewhat disgusting place.

In her previous place, she had a group of real friends. They all yearned for a better life in the future and agreed to study abroad together when they grew up.

Then all of this was ruthlessly broken by the rich lady who came to visit.

Her family didn't even ask for her opinion, they just informed her.

If you change schools, you will not be allowed to study abroad in the future.

Everything will be tied to that classmate named Chen Lu.

Before she came, she was both curious and disgusted with Chen Lu.

But she couldn't refuse, just as no one in the family would ask for her opinion.

But after she came here and met Chen Lu, she realized how ridiculous all this was.

Such a powerful lady could easily change her life completely with just one sentence.

Surprisingly...I can't control my own son!

And let him pursue someone who is so ordinary and not worthy of marrying into a wealthy family.

What is going on?

What's even more ridiculous is that her life is tied to such a person!

The ultimate manifestation of financial freedom is to dare to say no to everyone.

There is no doubt that their family can never reach such a level.

What was even more obvious was that her family couldn't even raise the slightest objection in front of Chen Lu's mother.

This is what it means to have money.

As rich as Chen Lu’s parents are, they probably have no more money!

She was just a little princess from a wealthy family who was somewhat disappointed and unable to make her own decisions.

The person she envied the most was not anyone else, but Chen Lu’s second sister Chen Xinyi.

That is a legend of a wealthy family.

At the age of five, she dared to show off her family's money everywhere, and even showed off her title as the first little princess of Shanghai on the Huangpu River.

The rest of the story was even more exaggerated, and he was not restrained at all.

Since junior high school, he has been able to use tens of billions of dollars from his family every year to make investments in the stock market.

When he was in high school, he dared to take hundreds of billions of dollars to Wall Street to buy and sell things.

Now it has a lot of famous domestic luxury brands.

She dares to sell you a pair of messy-looking shoes for one million and eighty thousand.

The reason is that she designed it herself.

Even this has attracted countless rich princesses to compete for it.

This is the number one second princess of a wealthy family who can truly control her own life.

Free and easy, unconventional, these are all labels attached to her.

Such an exaggerated second princess is actually the elder sister of this lickspittle in front of her.

No wonder she was so surprised, the contrast was really too great!

In such a family, the only son actually acted as a bootlicker for three years just for an ordinary girl.

I was more willing to spend three ordinary years in this place.

This made Shen Xi envy Su Xiaoxi, but also feel it was ridiculous.

It's so absurd that you wouldn't even dare to dream about it at night.

Such a ridiculous thing happened right in front of her, but unfortunately she couldn't tell anyone.

It's the family's business, unless they want to.

Otherwise, no journalist, including an Internet news media, would dare to spread the information without authorization.

I don’t dare at all.

Their family is so exaggerated!

And this only child of an exaggerated family is not fickle and does not spend money recklessly, and is willing to do it for an ordinary girl.

I spent three years as an ordinary junior high school student.

Is he really going to piss off his own mother to death?

How could a wealthy family accept such an ordinary girl with a questionable background?
