Chapter 51 You have no idea how much money your Lu Lin has…
Shen Rong finally had the mood to care about her brother's affairs and asked him what he was doing in Bincheng.
“Our bank has an investment project that requires cooperation with a Japanese trading company, so I’m here to talk to them first.”
Shen Rong frowned: "Japanese?"
Sensing something amiss in her tone, Shen Jiashi asked curiously, "You also have a problem with the Japanese?"
Shen Rong snorted coldly: "Of course, I have a lot of opinions. They are wolves in sheep's clothing and there are no good people among them. You should be more careful when dealing with them."
Shen Jiashi was comforted: "Worried about your brother? At least I didn't spoil you for nothing."
"I'm worried you'll bankrupt the bank."
Shen Jiashi grinned: "Lu Lin, control your wife. How can she talk like that? She's not nice to her brother at all."
Lu Lin lowered his head and drank his soup, assuming it was just a misheard tale.
After dinner, Shen Jiashi handed the several large boxes he had brought to his younger sister.
"Everything you wanted is inside." Most of it was prepared by Shen's mother for her daughter.
He pointed to another small box that was packed separately: "It's full of the kids' clothes. Mom told you to wash them first, and then put them away after they've been dried in the sun for a while."
When Chen Rong opened the box, she found it was full of food, clothing, shelter, and even toys—it was incredibly complete!
"Then I don't need to buy any."
Shen Jiashi: "That's right, whenever Mom goes to the market, she always has to buy something."
For a while, people kept asking him when he was getting married, since he hadn't had a wedding banquet.
Everyone thought that Shen's mother had prepared it for her grandson.
"I don't have any?" Shen Rong asked, somewhat disappointed.
Shen Jiashi sighed and took out a money pouch from his personal belongings.
"Mom said she doesn't know your current body shape, so she can't buy you clothes. Here, I'll give you cash instead."
Shen Rong smiled so much her eyes disappeared, and she immediately took the money and started counting it, looking like a money-grubber.
"Lu Lin, is it too much trouble for you to raise her?" Shen Jiashi felt fortunate that she was his sister; if she were his wife, he definitely wouldn't be able to live like this.
Lu Lin smiled but said nothing. Who knows if Shen Jiashi was setting a trap?
Shen Rong raised an eyebrow and glared at him: "You're trying to sow discord between my husband and me. I'm going to tell my parents."
Shen Jiashi begged for forgiveness: "My little ancestor, I was wrong. I was praising Lu Lin, saying that he was tolerant and that he was rich."
Shen Rong finished counting; it was about three hundred yuan, enough for her to live on for a long time.
Now that she has more money to spare, she still needs to make money work for her. Her eyes lit up and she smiled.
Shen Jiashi stiffened, a bad feeling creeping over him.
"Brother, aren't you a banker and a seasoned investor? Can you help me make some money with this money?"
Shen Jiashi refused to accept it: "Don't you not trust me?" Mainly, he didn't care about this little bit of money.
"You've proven yourself with your results, haven't you? Haven't you rekindled my confidence in you?"
Shen Jiashi stepped back and said, "Give me the few thousand dollars you have left, and I'll go and make some money for you."
No, that won't do; that money can't be touched.
“There’s a really good project coming up, but your little bit of money isn’t even enough to fill a tooth gap. Each share costs at least 10,000 yuan. Why don’t you raise some more money, and I’ll barely be able to help you open an account.” Shen Jiashi kept glancing at the warehouse, clearly indicating that he wanted his sister to borrow money from Lu Lin.
Shen Rong shook her head: "He doesn't have any money." Her salary is all in her hands.
Shen Jiashi poked her head: "Are you stupid? The Lu family has such a large fortune, how could Lu Lin be poor?"
Shen Rong rolled her eyes at him: "That's his family's money. He doesn't use his family's money."
"Little sister, are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending with your brother?"
He glanced at him again, and seeing that Lu Lin hadn't come out, he lowered his voice and continued, "Don't you know how much money your Lu Lin has? When he was twenty, Uncle Lu put half of the family fortune in his name. It's Lu Lin's own, do you understand?"
Seeing Shen Rong's idiotic expression, as if she could put an egg down with her mouth wide open, he realized that his sister really didn't know!
Lu Lin is quite cunning; he actually pretended to be poor.
"You only have a pittance. If you want to make big money, put all your effort into him." Half of the Lu family's assets—that's a lot of money. Can she even count it all?
Following his direction, Shen Rong looked at Lu Lin with envy and jealousy.
I'm not afraid of my roommate being poor, I'm not afraid of my roommate being rich, I'm just afraid of my roommate being a big spender!
I thought I was in charge of the family finances, but in the end I was just a salaried employee!
"Lu Lin!" Shen Rong gritted her teeth, her eyebrows raised. So, he's wary of her! How could he be richer than her? She couldn't swallow this insult.
"What did you do to upset him again?" Lu Lin asked his brother-in-law as he came out.
Shen Jiashi shrugged; it was none of his business.
"What's wrong?" Lu Lin walked in and asked gently.
Shen Rong pouted, looking angry.
"I want to buy a car!" He immediately started asking for money.
Lu Lin was surprised for a moment, "But you're not feeling well right now..."
"Can't I drive after giving birth? My older brother said that many women in Shanghai drive themselves now. There's a new car, what's it called again? You just described it as very nice, right?" She winked at Shen Jia Shi.
Shen Jiashi was a little slow to catch up with his sister's jumping thoughts, but he had already honestly given her the names: "Buick and Pontiac are both pretty good. It's all my fault. I just said a few words to her, and I didn't expect her to take it to heart."
"She can't even open it, don't listen to her, are you kidding me?" Shen Jiashi secretly tugged at his sister's sleeve. Um... you two can check each other's private affairs behind closed doors, it's so awkward for him to be here.
Shen Rong withdrew her hand, the movement somewhat abrupt.
Shen Jiashi's hand froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "I'm so tired, I'm going to sleep. You guys can continue chatting."
Shen Rong stared at Lu Lin and saw that he hadn't even asked the price or hesitated at all. She nodded and said, "I'll call tomorrow to order it for you. I don't know if they have it in Bincheng. If they don't, it might take a while."
Shen Rong: "I don't have enough money."
Lu Lin: "No need, I'll handle it."
"Where did you get the money?" she asked, her eyes fixed on him.
Lu Lin seemed to know why she suddenly got angry; no wonder Shen Jiashi had looked so guilty just now.
A smile flickered in his eyes: "Before we got married, my family gave us a sum of money, which has been in my name ever since. I told you about it once before, but you probably didn't pay attention to it then."
Shen Rong's anger suddenly vanished.
Just how many pitfalls did the original owner dig for himself?!
"Even if I don't ask, you still have to tell me. You know I'm sick, sometimes I don't remember things. My older brother just told me you're richer than me, and I just can't accept it. How can you be richer than me?" Her momentum suddenly weakened, and she no longer had the confidence to question him.
Lu Lin pursed his lips, afraid of revealing his smile: "You're right. Although it's in my name, this money is still under your control. If you want your older brother to manage it for you, that's fine too."
"That won't do!"
If it's really a large sum of money, I can't just hand it over to my elder brother like that. I still think the Shen family is unreliable.
"How much money do you have?" she asked Lu Lin secretly, very curious.
Lu Lin whispered a number.
Shen Rong stumbled back to his room, while Lu Lin shook his head, chuckled softly, and continued tidying up.
She threw herself into bed, biting the corner of the blanket, screaming inwardly, "I didn't even realize I was sitting in a treasure trove!"
Why would she be greedy for a few hundred yuan! Saving hundreds at a time like that, how long would it take her to have enough money to run away? She might as well…
She turned her life around; she could either abscond with the money and live a life of luxury abroad, never having to suffer poverty for the rest of her life!
Thinking about it, she chuckled softly. She would find several handsome young men to serve her tea and water, and one of them would peel grapes for her. He had to have abs like Lu Lin, and most importantly, she could touch him as much as she wanted!
Lu Lin is too stingy; he hides it from you and won't let you touch it.
However, there's a problem. Lu Lin makes it sound nice that she can manage it, but it's half of the Lu family's wealth, so it's definitely not something he can just hand over to her casually.
We still need to win over Lu Lin and gain his trust so that we can secretly drain his wealth.
If he behaves well, we can consider keeping him as a freeloader, but then you can touch his abs as much as you want!
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Perhaps the baby in her belly sensed her excitement and started moving around too.
“You think this is a good idea too!” She touched her belly and discussed with her son, suggesting that it could be considered as an exorbitant alimony payment for them.
"What's a good idea?" Lu Lin suddenly appeared behind him.
Shen Rong's smile abruptly stopped. When did he come in?
"While you were grinning like an idiot," Lu Lin said, grabbing his clothes to head to the bathroom.
What do you mean by a silly grin? That's a sly grin! Do you even know how to describe it?
She got out of bed and followed him to the bathroom: "Let's not buy that car yet. I just thought about it, and it's not practical."
Lu Lin, who was in the bathroom, was about to take off her pants but hesitated to move. When would she ever get rid of this habit of talking at the bathroom door?
"I need to take a shower, we'll talk later." Her tone was muffled, as if she were a little angry.
Shen Rong made a face. So what if he's taking a bath? She didn't peek, why are you angry! Is he so precious? She wouldn't even bother looking at him.
"I just thought about it, having more cars at home would be more convenient, so let's buy one and hire a driver later." Lu Lin said, drying his hair.
"No need, I'm not going anywhere." She had just said it casually to test whether he was really hiding his wealth.
“We used it after the baby was born.” He glanced at Shen Rong’s belly.
That makes sense. Lu Lin is using a public car now, so he can't use one at home too.
"Then don't buy anything so expensive." Although it was Lu Lin's money, Shen Rong was already starting to feel the pinch, since she had already made up her mind.
"By the way, I'll take you to Zhongda's hospital for a check-up tomorrow," Lu Lin suddenly said after he lay down.
Shen Rong thought for a moment. It had been more than a month since she had gone to the hospital for a check-up, and she didn't know how it was going. She decided to go and get checked out, and she mumbled an "Mmm" in a daze.
Unfortunately, they couldn't go the next day. Early in the morning, his senior brother Wen Congjian suddenly called, as if something had happened, and Lu Lin left in a hurry.
Shen Jiashi didn't see him while having breakfast, so he asked him a few questions.
Is he always this busy?
Shen Rong nodded: "It's alright, it's rare for him to be up this early, he probably had something urgent to attend to."
"Would you like me to show you around today?" Shen Rong asked politely.
Shen Jiashi knew perfectly well that she was just being polite, and said with a forced smile, "Thank you, little sister, but it's a pity your brother is here on a business trip. Let's wait until the weekend."
After Shen Jiashi left, Shen Rong went back to sleep for a while. She was woken up by Gui Chun just before lunchtime because she heard that there was a phone call from home.
She thought it was a call from the Shen family asking if her older brother had arrived, but it turned out to be a call from Lu's mother.
Shen Rong's expression grew increasingly serious. She nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. Don't worry, I'll call you back once I pick them up."
Lu's mother inquired about her health and whether she had enough money.
"Mom, I'm fine." She looked at her watch; it was almost midnight, only a few hours left.
"Mom, let me call Lu Lin first, and I'll call you back tonight, okay?"
"Alright, Rong, I'll have to trouble you with my little sister. Your father is such an old-fashioned man." She sighed.
"Mom, my little sister can keep me company. I'm so happy!"
Lu Lin was frowning as he listened to his subordinate's report when the phone suddenly rang.
