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

Shen Xuwen stood there, his face ashen.

This country bumpkin could easily come up with 80,000 yuan, which shows he's made a lot of money, but he's also hard to control, which is giving him a headache.

When Lu Yang returned to the newly purchased storefront, Cheng Lin had already cleaned it thoroughly.

“I called someone to make a sign. This place used to be a shop, and the cash register is already there, so we don’t need to do any special renovations.”

Cheng Lin was very satisfied with the place and immediately smiled as he saw Lu Yang return.

Only after he finished speaking did he notice that Lu Yang's face was ashen and his expression was somewhat ferocious.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Lin asked, puzzled.

Lu Yang briefly recounted what had happened, leaving Cheng Lin dumbfounded.

Cheng Lin slapped his thigh and jumped up dramatically: "Has this spoiled brat lost his mind?"

Lu Yang sat in his chair and sneered, "He's not brain-dead, he's just too smart!"

"Lu Qing thought she had hidden it well, but Shen Xuwen had seen through her long ago."

"Shen Xuwen suddenly appeared to confirm that I was the one who was really rich. Everything he did was to get my money!"

Cheng Lin scratched his head: "What are all these things?"

"How could a spoiled brat be short of money?"

Lu Yang snorted coldly: "His family is very strict, and he has many brothers, none of whom are easy to deal with. He won't get much of the inheritance."

Cheng Lin nodded in agreement, as he had many brothers in his family and knew this all too well.

He said with some concern, "This guy works for the Industry and Commerce Bureau. I wonder if he'll use his authority to cause us trouble."

Lu Yang shook his head: "He's only been with the Industry and Commerce Bureau for less than three months. He just passed his probation period and doesn't dare to do anything reckless yet."

Cheng Lin breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the calendar, set a date for the opening, locked the door, and told Cheng Lin to go back.

They loaded the appliances onto the truck, drove it to the newly purchased storefront, unloaded them, and then neatly arranged the appliances in the store.

After tidying up the storefront, Lu Yang went straight to the Perfume Bar.

Brother Chen was playing cards with someone in the lobby when he saw Lu Yang come in and waved to him warmly.

"You're a busy man, it's been quite a while since you've been here. Please have a seat!"

Lu Yang sat down next to him with a smile and said, "I bought a batch of watches when I went south last time. I brought you five. You can give them away as you like."

As he spoke, he took out five boxes, and Brother Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "You've got some serious money to spare!"

Lu Yang said helplessly, "I'm only able to open a shop in the provincial capital thanks to Brother Chen's help. I feel like five watches are not enough."

Brother Chen shook his head slightly: "I heard something happened to your family."

Lu Yang wasn't surprised; Brother Chen was a local bigwig and would definitely be paying extra attention to him.

He could only briefly explain his family's situation, and then sighed, "It's my fault for underestimating Lu Jianjun's shamelessness, but he can't cause trouble for the time being."

Brother Chen patted him on the shoulder, somewhat touched: "It's nothing, I'll help you if needed."

Lu Yang nodded with a heavy heart and told him about opening a branch store.

Brother Chen readily agreed to help, and then took Lu Yang out for a drink before Lu Yang staggered home.

……

In the county detention center, Lu Jianjun and more than a dozen other people were crammed into a cell.

The surrounding stench was overwhelming, and the sounds of burping, farting, grinding teeth, and talking in one's sleep all rushed into his ears.

He couldn't sleep at all and was extremely agitated.

But now this detention center has become his refuge, and once he gets out, he will have to find a way to pay back the seven thousand yuan.

Where is he going to get such a large sum of money?

The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. His eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "If I find out who called the police, I'll kill him!"

Guan Xiuqin, who was also suffering from insomnia, sat in front of her dressing table, looking very haggard.

She was terrified when she learned the day before yesterday that Lu Jianjun's embezzlement had been exposed and that he was about to be imprisoned.

She had only one thought in her mind: why doesn't that idiot Lu Jianjun just die right now?

It doesn't matter if he goes to jail, but it will affect her Xiao Yao. After graduating from university, Xiao Yao's future is limitless.

So that day she practically knelt down and begged Leung King-wai to help her get Lu Jianjun out of trouble. Although Leung King-wai softened and helped her, he did.

But she felt uneasy, always feeling that Liang Jingwei's gaze towards her wasn't as gentle as before.

Moreover, they had agreed to get their marriage certificate after the Lunar New Year, but after this incident, Leung King-wai hasn't mentioned it at all.

She was extremely agitated and couldn't help but get up and pace back and forth in the room.

She had finally achieved her current life, and she had no intention of going back to the village to continue feeding pigs, so she had to find a way to regain Liang Jingwei's favor.

Although Lu Qing was far away in the provincial capital, she learned about Lu Jianjun's situation and broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Guan Xiuqin managed to cover it up, otherwise she would have been finished too.

After thinking for a while, an idea suddenly popped into her head, so she hurriedly went out to find a phone booth to call Guan Xiuqin.

Guan Xiuqin was lost in thought when the phone rang, startling her awake.

She answered the phone curtly, "Who is it?"

Lu Qing said calmly, "It's me, Mom. I think it was Lu Yang who reported Lu Jianjun. Has Lu Jianjun offended him recently?"

Guan Xiuqin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

“A few days ago, Lu Jianjun came to question me about whether I was with your Uncle Liang. I thought we were getting married soon, and I was too impatient to be bothered by him, so I admitted it.”

"Later I heard that he beat Tian Zhaodi and Lu Xing so badly that they ended up in the hospital... No wonder, this idiot has crossed Lu Yang's line."

Lu Qing continued, "You absolutely mustn't remind him that Lu Yang reported him, otherwise this idiot will go after Lu Yang and fight him to the death, or cause trouble for Tian Zhaodi and the others. Next time, Lu Yang will definitely send him to jail, and our political future will be over!"

Guan Xiuqin gritted her teeth in hatred: "We can't let Lu Yang get away with this! That little bastard is a menace; he has to be crippled!"

Lu Qing was silent for a moment, then suddenly said quietly, "Come to the provincial capital. I've thought of a way to deal with Lu Yang. Let's discuss it."

A fierce glint flashed in Guan Xiuqin's eyes. She was just one step away from becoming Director Liang's wife, but Lu Yang ruined it. She had to make Lu Yang pay the price!

Two days later, Lu Yang had just finished preparing for the opening of the new store and arranged for Cheng Lin to stay temporarily, so that it would just be the two of them looking after the new store.

If they're not there, Yu Guangxue will be sent to look after the new store, as they haven't found a suitable person yet.

It was already very late when Lu Yang returned to the Wanhua Jincheng residential area.

Just as he was about to turn into the apartment building, a child stood next to the flower bed and waved to him.

"Big brother, someone is looking for you. They're in room 402 on the fourth floor of that building."

Lu Yang squinted and asked, "Is she a young woman who is very pretty and dressed up beautifully?" His first thought was Lu Qing.

The child shook his head and said, "She's an auntie in her thirties, very refined-looking, and she has a mole here."

He pointed to his chin and said.

Lu Yang couldn't help but laugh; he hadn't expected Guan Xiuqin to personally take action.

He patted the child's head and said, "Here's some candy for you, thank you."

The children took the candy and ran off happily. Lu Yang stood up and stared at the fourth floor with a gloomy expression. Since they wanted to play, he would play with them!
