Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lu Jianjun was furious: "You're doing just fine now. You could easily get Xiao Yao out of trouble by talking to your boyfriend."

"Xiao Yao is your own brother. Are you just going to stand by and watch him suffer in the detention center?"

Lu Qing scoffed, her eyes full of mockery: "I can't see if he's suffering or not, I'm not in the detention center."

"He deserves to suffer. Who told him to be so idle and have nothing better to do? He got caught selling fake antiques!"

Lu Jianjun couldn't stand anyone speaking ill of Lu Yao, so he immediately roared, "What do you mean he's got nothing better to do? He's starving to death!"

"He was expelled from school and, like you, had no other choice but to take this risk. Why don't you feel sorry for him?"

Lu Qing's eyes flashed with coldness: "Then why weren't you this kind to me when I was desperate?"

"He deserved to be expelled from school! He shouldn't have gone to that school in the first place; that degree wasn't his to begin with!"

Lu Jianjun immediately interrupted him, frowning as he said, "Shut up, Xiao Yao got sick before the exam."

"He was in such a bad mood after failing the college entrance exam, so of course I would give him this spot so that he could have a bright future!"

"You knew about this back then, didn't you? Didn't you approve of it back then?"

"Now you're being hindsight, you just want to curry favor with Lu Yang because he's a good catch!"

"Get your head straight. We're family, you should help Xiao Yao."

Lu Qing stared coldly at Lu Jianjun as if she had heard a joke, and said, "You and Lu Yang are family, so why haven't I seen you help him?"

"What kind of family are we? What good will it do me to help Lu Yao?"

Lu Jianjun stared at Lu Qing with disbelief, as if he were meeting her for the first time: "How could you say such a thing? Lu Yao is your own brother. He's in trouble now. Isn't it only right that you help him?"

Lu Qing looked at Lu Jianjun as if he were mentally challenged, seemingly losing all patience to continue.

She waved her hand and said, "Do whatever you want, I'm not going to risk my life to help Lu Yao."

"If you bother me again, don't blame me for being heartless. I'll have my bodyguards beat you up, and you won't get away with it."

Lu Jianjun was so angry that his eyes turned red, but he still held back his temper.

He knelt down beside Lu Qing with a thud, hugged her legs, and pleaded, "Please, I'm begging you, please help Lu Yao. He's your own brother."

Lu Qing stared coldly at Lu Jianjun and forcefully pulled her leg out of his grasp.

She walked out of the crowd without looking back. Lu Jianjun tried to bother her, but was blocked by Lu Qing's bodyguards.

He could only watch helplessly as Lu Qing blended into the crowd.

Ge San looked away, his face full of shock: "I thought Lu Jianjun was going crazy and fighting with Lu Qing's bodyguards, but I didn't expect him to kneel down to Lu Qing."

Lu Yang said expressionlessly, "Hasn't Lu Jianjun always been a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong?"

"The reason he didn't dare to come back after bothering me once was simply because he was afraid I would actually hit him."

"This guy may seem reckless, but he's actually quite rational and knows how to assess situations."

Lu Jianjun was still standing on the street, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant, and even his back was bent a little.

The people around him chattered away in their southern dialect, and every now and then someone would cast a sympathetic glance at him.

But he ignored him, turned around, and walked away slowly, step by step.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Ge San asked, "Will Lu Yao really be sentenced?"

Lu Yang asked in a sinister tone, "Do you think Lu Yao is about to be scared to death right now?"

Ge San stroked his chin, thought carefully for a moment, and said, "If I were him, I would be scared to death. He's only in his early twenties and he's going to jail."

"If you spend ten or more years in prison, you'll be in your thirties when you get out, and your life will basically be ruined."

Lu Yang immediately scoffed: "Right now, as long as someone is willing to bail Lu Yao out, Lu Yao will do anything for him."

Ge San looked at Lu Yang with a puzzled expression, unable to understand what Lu Yang had thought of this time.

But judging from Lu Yang's expression, it was clear that he wasn't thinking of anything good.

But Lu Yang didn't intend to continue, so he didn't press the matter further.

For the next two days, Lu Yang was busy with his schoolwork while also taking time to find Zhou Zhimin to help him set up the magazine.

In his previous life, he had also borrowed outdated magazines from other workers, which were usually down-to-earth tabloids.

The magazine was cheap, and the content was witty and humorous. As long as you didn't use your brain, you could still enjoy reading it.

These tabloids are very popular among his coworkers, and even he sometimes can't resist buying a few expired copies.

The expired items are cheap, but the content inside isn't exactly up-to-date, so it's still quite interesting to read.

He briefly talked to Zhou Zhimin about these kinds of tabloids, and to his surprise, Zhou Zhimin occasionally read them and was quite interested in them.

By the time Xu Meiru arrived to report for duty, Lu Yang had already finished explaining what he wanted to say.

"This is the assistant I found for you, Xu Meiru, who just got into Yangcheng Normal University this year. She's my neighbor."

Zhou Zhimin was somewhat surprised, then chuckled and said, "Hello, Xu."

Xu Meiru smiled shyly, her bright eyes and white teeth revealing a round face that possessed a touch of classical beauty.

When Lu Yang was about to leave, Zhou Zhimin walked him for a while before whispering, "This must be Hongshan's girlfriend. She's pretty. It's the first time I've seen her."

Lu Yang gave a wry smile and said, "It seems you all know, but I'm the last to find out."

Zhou Zhimin waved his hand and said, "Who told you to be such a busy person?"

Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You'll be a very busy person from now on. You'll have to take care of the logistics work of the catering company, manage the bookstore, and run the newsletter."

Zhou Zhimin said nonchalantly, "I've already found someone I trust to help manage the bookstall. I just need to sit back and wait to collect the money."

"There isn't much work to do in logistics, but this little newspaper will definitely keep us busy for a while in the beginning."

Lu Yang then mentioned to him the characteristics of the popular tabloids he had read in his previous life.

Zhou Zhimin wrote everything down before Lu Yang hurriedly left, as he had classes in the afternoon.

During this period, he also received letters from Li Xingran, who mentioned Qian Jianyun in one of them.

Qian Jianyun somehow found out that Lu Yang wrote a letter to Li Xingran every ten days or so.

He also wrote to Li Xingran every ten days or so, and occasionally sent her some gifts.

They were all inexpensive items, small ornaments, food, or household items that Li Xingran would definitely need.

Lu Yang neither commented nor responded, continuing with his own work.

As usual, I will provide Li Xingran with a message every ten days. Whether Li Xingran can do it or not is up to him.

Half a month later, the business was on track, and Lin Hongshan began to formally go to other provinces to attract customers.

Lu Yang focused most of his energy on real estate. In addition to working on construction sites, he also bought a lot of houses in Guangzhou, waiting for them to appreciate in value.
