Without his car, Lu Fan boarded a bus.
It took more than two hours.
I managed to get home before dinner, just in time.
"Dad, Mom, I'm home."
As soon as Lu Fan entered the door, he habitually shouted.
The old lady, who hadn't seen her son for more than half a year, came out of the kitchen when she heard the noise.
"You're back... Quickly put your things down, go wash your hands, and get ready for dinner."
The old lady came over and responded.
He glanced meaningfully at the living room.
Lu Fan then noticed.
We have guests at home.
A middle-aged couple and Lu Jinyu's father were chatting around the coffee table.
Those were Lu Fan's uncle, Lu Jinliang, and aunt, Liu Fen.
The two families had a very unpleasant falling out over the division of their property in their early years.
It took several years for them to gradually return to normal activities.
Why did they get here?
Lu Fan didn't think much of it, put down his things, walked over and greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle, Aunt, it's been a while since I've seen you..."
"Lu Fan is back. Come sit down and chat for a while."
Uncle Lu Jinliang also smiled and patted the sofa next to him.
Aunt Liu Fen, however, kept staring at Lu Fan.
It was as if they wanted to find some clue in Lu Fan.
Lu Fan nodded and sat down next to Lu Jinliang.
I took the teapot my dad handed me and poured tea for the couple.
"Lu Fan, how's work lately? How come you have time to come back?"
Lu Jinliang exchanged pleasantries.
They were clearly puzzled that Lu Fan was dragging a suitcase home at this time.
"It's alright. Something happened, so I'll go home and rest for a while."
Lu Fan could tell from the couple's eyes.
They should have listened to their parents tell them about their lives.
"Tell me honestly, you really haven't gone bankrupt, have you?"
"You've been a sly kid since you were little. Don't lie to your parents about things like this."
"You're going to sell the house too? Is that alright?"
"Houses in the south are more expensive than those in the city. I'm doing this so I can make up the down payment for you."
“Your parents have withdrawn all their fixed deposits from the bank.”
"You can't do anything reckless!"
"Tell your uncle what kind of projects you've invested in?"
Lu Jinliang couldn't keep his mouth shut and immediately questioned him.
On the surface, it sounds like she cares about Lu Fan.
However, Lu Fan and his family could all hear the sarcastic tone in his voice.
Are you perhaps here to find out the truth, or to see someone make a fool of themselves?
"Uncle, I'm really not bankrupt!"
"There aren't any special projects, just some stock trading, fund trading, futures trading, and stuff like that..."
Lu Fan gave a few perfunctory replies, sounding somewhat annoyed.
But when they heard that Lu Fan was actually trading stocks...
Lu Jinliang and his wife felt a pang of anxiety.
They've also suffered greatly because of the recent sharp decline in stocks!
So Lu Fan really did go bankrupt and had been nagging his parents the whole time!?
"Lu Fan, you have to be down-to-earth and never expect to get rich overnight!"
"That's why your parents always go along with what you want."
"If that brat Lu Hui dares to sell his car and house to speculate in stocks, I'll see if I break his legs!"
Lu Jinliang immediately adopted a tone of disappointment and frustration, like an elder.
"Yes, Lu Fan."
"Even your aunt has to say something to you, it was too risky!"
"You really need to learn this from Lu Hui."
"Although Lu Hui is not very successful, he didn't even graduate from university."
"But you also know that kid is willing to use his brain and takes things one step at a time."
"Now I'm a small business owner supporting several hundred people."
"It's better to be down-to-earth!"
Aunt Liu Fen also spoke earnestly.
Lu Fan frowned deeply upon hearing this.
They're absolutely certain they've lied to their parents and gone bankrupt...
Sigh, Lu Fan didn't want to explain anything.
I just wanted to finish my meal quickly and get rid of these two oddballs.
However, Liu Fen became even more excited.
This woman, towards her son Lu Hui.
He was never as good as his cousin Lu Fan, who was two years older than him, since childhood.
I've always held a grudge about it.
Given such a great opportunity, she couldn't help but ridicule him.
"By the way, Lu Fan, didn't you get a girlfriend before the Lunar New Year?"
"Why didn't you bring it back to show your parents?"
"You're 27 years old this year!"
"If your parents aren't in a hurry at all, it's because they don't want to put pressure on you."
Liu Fen pressed for an answer.
"Girlfriend? We broke up. Just now."
Lu Fan said indifferently.
"You broke up?"
Liu Fen looked at her father, Lu Jinyu, with surprise.
He was still silently drinking his tea.
I suppose I should know about this by now.
This further convinced the couple that Lu Fan was truly bankrupt!
Moreover, Lu Fan's parents probably know the truth too...
They only covered it up together to avoid losing face.
"Breaking up isn't such a big deal!"
"I'll have Lu Hui introduce you to one later; their company has plenty of beautiful women."
"Working at Lu Hui's company pays pretty well, and it's a reliable place..."
Liu Fen was no longer jealous; instead, she started showing off.
Uncle Lu Jinliang also expressed his concern, saying, "Lu Fan, if you're not happy working in Nancheng..."
“Just come back to Guangcheng, I’ll talk to Lu Hui.”
"You two brothers should discuss it together; it might be better than working for someone else."
"It's also closer to home, what's wrong with that?"
