The atmosphere in the room was a little frozen.

Chen Jianye and Li Jinqiu stared at their son in amazement, both wondering if they had heard it wrongly.

Five million!

What number is this?

For the honest old couple, this was a number they could not even dream of.

A few years ago, being a household with a fortune of 10,000 yuan was considered a well-known talent in the village. Although the livelihood of the family has improved a little in recent years and the money saved has increased, I have never heard of anyone with a fortune exceeding several hundred thousand yuan.

The richest person Chen Jianye had ever met was the owner of their ceramic factory. It was said that his assets amounted to more than one million.

My son worked hard for a year, built a website and sold it, but in the end, he wasted the boss's decades of hard work?

Is this possible?

Li Jinqiu nervously grabbed his son's hand and said, "Xiaofan, are you talking about five million?"

Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "Yes. Five million."

"But..." Li Jinqiu glanced at her husband, then asked excitedly, "But how is it possible? How can there be so much money?"

"Were you deceived?"

Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "Mom, how could I be cheated? Besides, I am the one who collected the money. The money has been deposited into my account."

"The money is already in your hands?" Chen Jianye was surprised.

Chen Fan nodded: "I've already arrived. If I was afraid of scaring you, I would have called you earlier."

Chen Jianye quickly asked, "Have you checked the amount at the bank counter yourself? Are you sure it's five million?"

Chen Fan was so amused that he cried, "Yes, I went to see it, it was five million."

All right.

Now Chen Jianye really had nothing else to ask.

He sat on the stool in a daze, his mouth slightly open, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock.

"Mom and Dad, what do you have on your face? Are you happy?"

Following his son's question, Li Jinqiu raised his hand to cover his mouth, unable to control his emotions, and tears burst out.

"Mom is happy, but...but..."

"Mother, hurry up! Go cook two more dishes."

Chen Jianye suddenly said something to break up with his wife, "Open the bottle of good wine that my son brought back last time. I want to have a good drink with my son today."

Li Jinqiu glared at her husband and said, "Look at you, you opened such a good wine? Didn't you say you would save it for the New Year when relatives come over?"

Chen Jianye snorted coldly: "Women are women, what do you know?"

"I'm in a good mood today. Can I ask my son to have a drink with me?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Mom, you should listen to my dad. Besides, that wine was bought for my dad."

Li Jinqiu took a glance and still got up to get the wine, then went to the kitchen to cook two dishes.

Now the table is filled with six dishes, which is even more abundant than during the Chinese New Year.

Chen Fan filled a glass for his father, then poured himself a glass, put down the bottle and picked up the glass.

"Come on, Dad, I'll toast you."

Chen Jianye nodded, picked up the wine glass, clinked it lightly with his daughter's, then tilted his head back and drank.

After drinking it, Chen Jianye still felt a little relieved.

"Is that website you're talking about... really that valuable?"

It seems that the five million was a bit of a shock to my dad, which is why he still doesn't believe it.

"Dad, wait a minute."

Chen Fan stood up and took out some printed papers from the suitcase next to him.

"Look at this. This is the online report when the website was sold. I printed out the report for you."

Chen Jianye quickly reached out to take it and began to read it carefully.

The report clearly stated that Domain Name Network, the largest domain name trading platform in China, was recently acquired by HiChina. HiChina did not disclose the acquisition price, but according to information provided by insiders, the acquisition price was less than five million.

In addition, some sources said that the founder of Domain Name Network is still a student.

Well, seeing this, Chen Jianye's doubts were dispelled, and he finally believed what his son said.

Li Jinqiu read it carefully and asked in confusion, "Why isn't your name mentioned here?"

Chen Fan smiled and explained: "I asked them not to reveal my name."

"I'm still in school, so I don't want to be too prominent."

Chen Jianye nodded, "Son is right. Wealth is not exposed, and we should be low-key in life."

After confirming that their son did not lie and had indeed earned five million, Chen Jianye and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. Excitement finally appeared on their faces.

After eating a few bites of food, Chen Fan felt that he was much better, so he began to make suggestions.

"Mom and Dad, we have money now. I think we should move and buy a house in the county."

Chen Jianye was stunned: "We live well at home, why would we buy a house?"

Li Jinqiu also said: "Our house is pretty good, why should we go to the county to buy a house?"

Chen Fan was crying and laughing, "Our house has been here for many years, it has become an old house. And we have to get up early in the winter to light the stove, how troublesome."

"I'm thinking we should go directly to the county town and buy a new house, and then you two can move in..."

Chen Jianye put down his chopsticks expressionlessly.

"I just told you to keep a low profile at a time like this, but you forgot?"

Li Jinqiu also echoed, "Your father is right. We have just made some money, so we should be more low-key at this time. Showing off your wealth will definitely bring disaster."

"Besides, house prices are so high now, buying a house is not a good deal at all."

"It's a shame to buy a house now. If you want to buy a house, you have to wait until the price drops in the future."

Chen Fan: “…”

He wanted to persuade her again, but his father said, "Even though this old house has this and that flaw, it is good in every way, but it was built with the money your mother and I saved."

"I've lived here for so many years, I'm used to it. Besides, all our relatives and friends are here. What's the point of moving to the new community in the county town where I know everyone upstairs and downstairs?"

Chen Fan was helpless: "But...have my uncle and his family all bought houses in the county?"

"They are them, and we are us."

Chen Fan was silent.

He suddenly found himself somewhat willing.

On some points of view, my parents completely agree with me.

I obviously did this for my parents' sake, but in my father's eyes, the house in my hometown is still more comfortable to live in.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Li Jinqiu said, "Your father is right. The house at home is still habitable. Why spend that money?"

"You have this money, save it and use it later when you get married."

Chen Fan said helplessly: "Okay."

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a bank card.

"Dad, this is a new card I applied for. The password is my mom's birthday. There is 500,000 in it. I originally wanted to use part of the money to buy a house for my family. Now... I'll just give it to you."

Chen Jianye glanced at his son and shook his head.

"We can't take this money. You're grown up now, you have your own ideas, and you know more than us. You can take it yourself..."

"Why would you want that?"

Li Jinqiu on the side also reached out to take it.

"Mom will keep it for you. Dad and mom will keep this money for you. You can use it when you get married and buy a house."

Chen Fan was in tears and laughter.

This is exactly what I planned before returning home.

It's all messed up.

…

Lying in bed at night, Li Jinqiu still had a sense of reality.

"Dad, do you think what my son said is true?"

"Five million. I dare not even think about it."

Chen Jianye put down the newspaper in his hand and asked, "Do you still understand your own son?"

"When has he ever told a lie since he was a child?"

"But this is too..."

"Okay. Go to bed early."

Chen Jianye turned around and turned off the light.

"Did my son give you a card? I'll take it to the bank tomorrow morning to check."

'When the time comes, we will know whether it is true or not by checking. "
