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

"Let's go back first."

He pulled the two into his car and took them home first.

Lu Yue's emotions had calmed down considerably. She wiped away her tears and said, "Big brother, they didn't do anything to me. Please don't go and fight with them."

“With the crackdown in full swing, it would be troublesome if they framed you and put you in jail again. You’re about to go to university.”

Lu Yang smiled and patted her hair, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself, but I won't let them get away with it!"

Lu Yue blinked her large, reddened eyes and nodded.

After the two entered the house, Lu Yang drove directly to Chen's Restaurant. After parking the car in front of the restaurant, Lu Yang got out and went inside.

As soon as he stepped inside, a young waiter ran over and said, "Our boss wants to see you."

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised; he genuinely hadn't expected the restaurant owner to want to see him.

He followed the waiter into the restaurant, through a long corridor, until they reached the innermost room.

Unexpectedly, a woman in a red dress was sitting inside, engrossed in reading an acceptance letter.

Upon seeing him enter, he handed the documents to Lu Yang, who then discovered that it was actually his admission notice.

"Congratulations on getting into Shandong University." The woman looked up at Lu Yang with a smile on her face: "Sorry, I'm just very curious, so I opened it for you."

Lu Yang asked in confusion, "The mailing address you filled in for me is Chen's Restaurant?"

The woman lit a cigarette and said leisurely, "Of course, didn't you know that someone contacted the post office to intercept mail being delivered to your house?"

Lu Yang asked coldly, "Who is it?"

The woman exhaled a smoke ring and said, "Li Yao."

Lu Yang thought back carefully and realized that he had indeed heard of this person in his previous life; he was a local bully in the county.

This guy is opportunistic, cunning, and treacherous. What impressed Lu Yang the most about him was his ambiguous relationship with Lu Qing.

After Lu Qing married Shen Xuwen, Li Yao also went to the provincial capital to develop his career.

Li Yao would stop at nothing to get rid of Brother Chen, since Brother Chen wasn't exactly a good person in his previous life.

Lu Yang asked coldly, "Did Li Yao send someone to intimidate my sister?"

The woman nodded: "Who else could it be but him? In this small county, only Du Miao and I would do something like this."

Lu Yang looked up at Du Miao, his heart filled with endless shock.

"Your name is Du Miao?"

Lu Yang confirmed.

Du Miao smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is it hard to believe?"

Lu Yang said cautiously, "Although our relationship is purely financial, you have helped me a lot."

"Can you trust me just this once?"

Du Miao tilted her head and looked at him, her slender phoenix eyes narrowing. She asked leisurely, "Tell me first."

Lu Yang said, enunciating each word clearly, "Don't go to Yunfeng Gold Shop tomorrow afternoon."

Du Miao pursed her lips, showing no outward reaction, but inwardly she was in turmoil.

Because apart from the two people she trusts, no one else knows that she is going to Yunfeng Gold Shop tomorrow.

After Lu Yang finished speaking, he shook the admission notice in his hand and said, "Thank you."

Du Miao nodded slightly, looking preoccupied, and said nothing more.

Lu Yang drove home and handed the admission notice to his mother, saying, "Keep this safe for me, I'm going out for a bit!"

Lu's mother, who was illiterate, took the item with a blank expression and turned to ask Lu Xing, "What is this?"

Lu Xing's eyes lit up immediately: "The acceptance letter! Let me see it!"

Lu's mother said anxiously, "You passed the exam! Be careful not to break it!"

Lu Xing and Lu Yue gathered around the admission notice, and the group took out everything from the package.

"Big brother got into Shandong University!" Lu Xing almost jumped for joy, even happier than if he had gotten in himself.

Lu Yue, her previous gloom gone, chimed in, "Shandong University is a top-tier university, a national key university. Big brother is truly amazing!"

After thinking for a moment, Lu's mother asked, "Which is better, Shanghai University or Shandong University?"

Lu Xing laughed and said, "Of course Shandong University is better!"

"My older brother scored 650 points, which would have been enough to get him into any university in Beijing, but he probably wanted to balance his business in Guangzhou, so he chose Shandong University, which is near Guangzhou."

Lu's mother's smile widened: "Let's go to the market and buy more groceries. Even if we don't have a banquet, we still need to celebrate properly!"

"This is wonderful news! Your brother has been admitted to university for two years in a row, and he did better each time. Your brother is the most promising member of the Lu family!"

Lu Xing immediately chimed in, "Of course! From now on, if anyone says I only know how to sell clothes, I'll tell them, 'My brother is a college student!'"

Lu Yue smiled, feeling that it didn't matter that she was scared a little; what mattered was that her older brother had a bright future.

Lu's mother wiped the paper clean, carefully put away Lu Yang's admission notice, and walked around the room, feeling that such a precious thing was afraid of being lost no matter where it was placed.

Finally, she simply picked up the notice from the bottom of the rice cooker, layer upon layer.

The three of them went to the largest vegetable market together. While they were picking out vegetables, someone suddenly called out to Lu's mother.

"Tian Zhaodi, it's been a while since I've seen you. I heard Lu Yang bought a house in the county!"

Aunt Qin, who was buying vegetables in Lujia Village, asked with a smile.

Lu's mother was about to admit it, but then she thought about it again. This Aunt Qin was particularly fond of taking advantage of others, and her family was not well-off. She always liked to borrow money from others.

Although they didn't borrow much, they no longer lived in Lujia Village, so there was no need for them to cause trouble.

So Lu's mother said with a smile, "It's a rented house, but my son got into university! A top university in the south!"

Aunt Qin's eyes widened immediately; these days, college students are extremely valuable.

She asked somewhat uncertainly, "Did you take the exam again this year?"

"Oh, congratulations!"

Mother Lu beamed with joy: "Yangzi has always been diligent, hardworking, and intelligent!"

Whenever she praised her son, Lu's mother would talk on and on, offering a different perspective.

Aunt Qin smiled and said, "Then we should celebrate properly. Shall we buy some vegetables? They were just picked from the field this morning."

Mrs. Lu was delighted by the compliment and said with a smile, "Okay, give me two pounds of cilantro, spinach, potatoes, and green beans. If we can't finish them, we can put them in the refrigerator."

Wow, life is getting better and better these days!

Aunt Qin couldn't help but feel a little envious; even Lu's mother looked much more energetic than before.

The two chatted and laughed as they served all the dishes. Lu Xing and Lu Yue carried their things, said goodbye to Aunt Qin, and continued walking in the market.

"You mean Lu Yangzhen got into university?"

Old Qin came out from behind and asked with a curious look on his face.

Aunt Qin pulled him aside and whispered, "He most likely passed the exam. Tian Zhaodi never lies; she's known for being honest."

"And I heard that Lu Yang also got into university last year, but Lu Jianjun gave the spot to Lu Yao. They had a falling out over this and that's why they separated!"

Old Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes and said with disgust, "This is really something Lu Jianjun would do."

"I wonder if Lu Jianjun knows that Lu Yang also took the college entrance examination this year."

Aunt Qin slapped her thigh and said, "How come I didn't know? I heard she even came to the city to warn Lu Yang not to take the college entrance exam, but Lu Yang beat her up, hahaha!"

Old Qin curled his lip: "Although it's wrong to beat your father and curse your mother, Lu Jianjun is really a scoundrel!"
