Chapter 515 Returning to the Province
In the past few years since Lu Yuan became famous, his life experience and family background have become the focus of media attention.

Netizens are curious about what kind of growth environment can produce such an outstanding person who is both capable and humble.

In order to satisfy the public's curiosity, unscrupulous reporters dug deep, from Lu Yuan's elementary school to high school, turning upside down everything big and small, using classmates' memoirs and teacher interviews, trying to piece together his growth trajectory.

What's worse, dozens of versions of the story were fabricated, both true and false, which made the online spectators very happy.

A local revealed that Lu Yuan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. His grandfather was a high-ranking leader. Not long after he retired, he had a wide network of contacts and students all over the place, and his family ranked among the top in Jiangxi.

There are also rumors that his father is a legend in Nanchang's seafood industry, with business spread across the country and a net worth of billions.

There are also rumors that Lu Yuan's second uncle is a real estate tycoon. When the Hainan real estate bubble crisis broke out in 93, he had a foresight and got away with it unscathed, making a fortune.

There are all kinds of messy rumors, anyway, it's very mysterious.

Well, it’s true that Lu Yuan’s second uncle worked in real estate, but unfortunately he made a mistake and lost all his previous earnings. It’s true that his father sold seafood, but he only ran a small supermarket.

Yaohua Seafood Supermarket.

"Click." Li Rulan locked the door.

In recent years, as Lu Yuan became famous all over the country, the Lu Minghua brothers expanded the scale of the supermarket a lot.

During this period, countless people came in search of franchise cooperation.

They promised to rapidly expand the brand influence of "Yaohua", increase market share, and even plan a blueprint for listing, and their words were full of temptation.

However, the two brothers firmly rejected all investors, whether from the same province or other provinces.

In Lu Mingyao's view, these were just attempts to borrow Lu Yuan's name to make a quick buck. As for whether it would have a negative impact on his nephew's career, they didn't care.

Therefore, the two brothers always maintained a high degree of caution in their business operations and, after much consideration, only opened a few branches, ensuring quality and quantity and offering preferential prices, which earned them an excellent reputation locally.

Even so, Lu Minghua still couldn't help worrying that someone might take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and damage Lu Yuan's public image.

At this time, in the fruit shop next to the seafood supermarket, the proprietress was sitting leisurely in front of the door basking in the sun, and the old stereo next to her was playing the classic song "Gong Xi Fa Cai".

She munched on some melon seeds and said loudly, "Sister Lan, we're getting ready to go back this morning."

"Yeah, go back early today."

"Let me guess, is your big star coming back?"

"Haha, that's right, I'll be there in the afternoon." Li Rulan couldn't hide her inner joy, and said with a little pride: "He also brought his girlfriend."

"Shishi is here too. My daughter is a big fan of hers. She keeps asking for her autograph. Her bedroom walls are covered with their magazine posters."

"Okay, okay. When Shishi comes back, I'll get one for Juanjuan." Li Rulan smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into a line. She was happier to hear others praising her future daughter-in-law than praising her own child.

The lady boss nodded repeatedly, expressing her gratitude: "That's great."

"Let's go, let's go." Lu Minghua safely moved the last box of food into the trunk.

"boom."

"I'm back. See you next year."

Li Rulan waved to the proprietress and got into the car with a smile on her face.

Lu Minghua drove towards Hongwan Avenue, his destination directly pointing to the Poly Mid-Levels Hot Spring Valley villa area.

As Yaohua Seafood Supermarket expanded in size and business prospered, they also saved some money.

Because there were reporters hanging around the neighborhood from time to time, the two brothers decided to move after discussing it in order to avoid unnecessary disturbances.

So Lu Yuan paid for it and carefully selected two houses in the most luxurious Poly Villa District in Nanchang.

One was for my parents and the other for my second uncle. My second uncle refused firmly, so the two families finally agreed that the money would be deducted from Lu Jing's salary.

Who says my second uncle has only this one precious daughter? All the family property will be hers from now on.

It’s not a lot of money, just about eight million.

According to Lu Jing's current salary level, not counting bonuses, it would take her about 20 years to pay it back without eating or drinking.

It's basically equivalent to selling herself to Lu Yuan.

As the villa area came into sight, Lu Minghua became more and more cheerful and couldn't help humming a little tune. Li Rulan looked disgusted at his dead look.

"Stop humming. Xiaoyuan inherited your singing talent. He doesn't have any talent at all. When Shishi comes, shut up and don't scare her."

Lu Minghua was immersed in his own world, turning a deaf ear to his wife's advice and continuing to hum "Good Luck Comes".

"I'm talking to you!!" Li Rulan yelled.

Lu Minghua just came back to his senses and smacked his lips. Seeing his wife's sullen face, he suddenly remembered his son's upcoming movie and sighed, "I must have eaten too much salt recently."

"Singing when you eat too much salt, tonsils lack water?"

"Uh" Lu Minghua was speechless and said, "That's not the answer. You should ask what happened."

Li Rulan rolled her eyes but still agreed with him: "What's wrong?"

"Because I've been so idle lately that I miss you." Lu Minghua said the cheesy love words he learned on the Internet.

"I think you are idle--flustered."

Lu Minghua was not annoyed and said, "You are quite strange today."

"What's wrong?"

"It's so pretty."

"Heh." Li Rulan had been with him for decades, but now she was unmoved by him: "You're a little weird today too!"

"Talk about it."

"It's disgusting."

Lu Minghua: "."

"Hello, uncle."

"Hello Auntie."

Liu Shishi got out of the car, looked at the smiling elders, and greeted them in a polite and courteous manner.

"Hey, Shishi is here, come in quickly, it's warm inside." Li Rulan said kindly. Lu Minghua stood aside rubbing his hands. The cold in the south was biting.

"Sister-in-law." Lu Jing came running over happily.

She returned home a few days early, and within just a few days, she encountered the trouble of being urged to get married.

No matter what she said or asked, even if she went to the toilet, her mother would say that without a boyfriend, no one would get you toilet paper if there was no paper in the toilet.

It's very annoying.

Knowing that Liu Shishi was coming today, I waited there long ago, full of anticipation.

For the sake of your sister-in-law, you should stop scolding her.

After Lu Yuan called out to his parents, the old couple responded in a very perfunctory manner and then focused their attention on Liu Shishi.

He felt strange and at this moment, as if he had seen it before.

"Sister-in-law, can I sleep in your room tonight?" Lu Jing pulled Liu Shishi's sleeve and negotiated.

"Okay." Liu Shishi agreed readily.

Although it was not the first time she met her parents, she could not sleep in the same room with a stinky man openly. Facing the unfamiliar environment, she always felt less secure sleeping alone. It was good to have Lu Jing accompany her.

"Xiao Jing, come here!" Lu Yuan called from behind.

Lu Jing's shoulders slumped, and he turned around and looked at his cousin with a disgusted expression: "What are you doing?"

……

I’m so sleepy. I’ll write the rest tomorrow.
