Chapter 748: The Gap in the Human World
Mid-September.
An'an called, she'll be landing ashore by the end of September. She's already a mom of two but still loves to play.
Her girly heart hasn't changed at all.
Chen Pingsheng bought a storefront outside the university, planning to open Wuyou Bookstore, which is already under renovation.
Expected to open in mid-October, the bookstore doesn't require a complex decoration, just a bit elegant will do.
As for Chen Lu, after entering university, he just mingled with his classmates as an ordinary student.
He didn't go around telling everyone his father is the famous founder of Tengying Group.
Few people in the university know about his background.
Only Su Xiaoxi, Yang Zi, Gao Feng, and Chang Dalin are aware.
These three were arranged to be in the same university, also with the intention of fostering closer relations.
Chen Lu is quite comfortable with being ordinary; he doesn't like showing off.
Su Xiaoxi is different, as soon as she entered she was admired as a goddess, the school beauty of countless people.
Chang Dalin and Gao Feng remain the same, enjoying their university life as they please.
Su Xiaoxi actually knows well, even though Chen Lu's father gave her twenty billion, it's a test.
For a girl who left her father early to live a hard life with her mother.
She really doesn't know how to spend such money.
Just like most people receiving compensation from relocation, if they don't gamble, they are already doing well.
Su Xiaoxi is facing the same difficulty, wanting to give the entire sum back to Chen Lu.
Chen Lu hasn't yet found good investment ideas, losing family resources and help from his two sisters.
His investment journey is full of obstacles.
A summer has passed, he squandered more than five billion of Xiaoxi's small goal, this amount is nothing to him.
For Su Xiaoxi, it's completely different; losing twenty billion means she can never enter that Chen Family door again.
Not only Su Xiaoxi, but Mrs. Su also thought, might as well use that twenty billion.
Change places and live.
With this money, no matter how big the world is, even in Xiangjiang where housing prices are highest, they can live comfortably.
As long as they don't gamble, twenty billion can sustain three generations.
Mrs. Su's thoughts became increasingly stronger, at first not mentioning it, hoping things could improve.
But seeing Chen Lu, who doesn't seem to have any money-making skills, failing at everything.
She's worried for her daughter too.
At least with this money, they won't have to worry for a lifetime.
As for love or not, Chen Lu's mother is clearly against it, and his father, though giving a bit of chance, has more tests in mind.
For Su Xiaoxi, such tests are impossible to complete.
Making money doesn't have too many geniuses, so-called geniuses either catch upon the era's opportunity.
One ride with the wind, everything becomes floating clouds.
Or their family has enough resources, like the Old Chen Family, which can provide endless funds for Chen Lu to keep trying and erring.
Su Xiaoxi is just an eighteen-year-old freshman who hasn't undergone any business training.
How could she know how to reasonably and effectively spend twenty billion?
For her, taking this money without squandering it reflects sticking to her beliefs.
A rare quality indeed.
The domineering CEO dramas love such girls, but in real life, for true wealthy families, she's not worth mentioning.
No family background, resources, only virtuous character, what's the use?
There are many virtuous people, but few with family background.
This is the disparity in resources, Mrs. Su knows the situation of her daughter, also knows how beautiful she is.
After work today, she specifically went to meet Xiaoxi outside the university.
Su Xiaoxi is extremely popular in university, excelling in studies and beauty, who wouldn't like such a girl?
After meeting Xiaoxi, Mrs. Su pulled her aside and asked, "Xiao Xi, how's that money now?"
"Not good, Chen Lu is still searching for a good investment opportunity, but his mother has sealed off the news, resources from his father he's unable to use."
The meaning is clear, Chen Pingsheng gave her money, while Song Yanxi blocked external resources for her son.
Even if the two sisters dared to help him now, their bank cards could be suspended anytime.
Mrs. Su hesitated but then expressed her concern: "Xiao Xi, your grandparents are now in Peng City, I've told them your situation; you should understand without me explaining further."
Of course Xiaoxi understands, her mother was a mistress when young, something Chen Lu's mother can never accept.
For families like theirs, it's nothing but disgrace.
She hasn't met Chen Lu's mother despite being in Peng City.
As for her grandparents, they come from rural families, and Old Su Family can't even produce a millionaire.
The only wealthy relative is Xiaoxi's uncle, who has helped her family a lot.
But her aunt doesn't have a good temper, when hearing she got twenty billion.
Who can remain idle?
According to them, probably nine out of ten would want to take this money and leave.
As long as they don't mess around, depositing twenty billion in the bank for interest can keep Old Su Family thriving.
Money provides confidence.
"Mom, it's not even my money, why did you tell Grandma and Grandpa?"
"What else could I do, your Grandma's health isn't good now, frequently visiting the hospital; besides, Xiao Xi, our family and Chen Lu's family are too different, I haven't told your uncle about this, he'd be scared by you knowing."
Of course, Xiaoxi understands, after sharing happiness with Chen Lu for a short time, reality must be faced.
Don't blame Mrs. Su for having a narrow perspective, she can't imagine her daughter one day marrying into the Old Chen Family.
"Mom… I understand what you're saying, but the money isn't mine, it belongs to Chen Lu's father, I..."
"You silly girl, how are you still so stubborn?"
Mrs. Su exclaimed, "You think his father gave you twenty billion hoping you'd leave his son, do you really believe Chen Lu's father would allow you to marry his son, don't be naive, your mom knows very well how powerful his father is, even if our family hadn't gone bankrupt, even then your dead millionaire dad wouldn't dare breathe beside him."
Mrs. Su has decided, their family, having received the twenty billion, should stop messing around.
As long as they don't mess around, the next three generations can be wealthy.
No more living in fear, unable to afford illness, unable to buy a house, Old Su Family men reaching thirty unable to find a wife.
Mrs. Su knows she alone can't persuade her daughter, thus she called her grandparents over.
