Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 251 Going Home
"We're going back so soon. I really don't want to leave Hong Kong City!"

We spent a whole day at Ocean Park on Monday, and it was already past midnight when we returned to the hotel. We didn't sleep much either, so we got up early on Tuesday to catch the bus back to Guangzhou. Before getting on the bus, my father sighed as he looked at the Victoria Harbour in the distance.

"Dad, are you pretending to be Xu Zhimo again? What do you mean by 'I left quietly, without taking away a trace of cloud'?" After Ah Zu put the luggage in the luggage compartment of the bus, he heard Dad's sigh and joked.

But his second sister-in-law disagreed with what he said, "No, no, no, it's not that I won't take the clouds away, but it robbed me of a lot of money. Do you know that? It took a lot of money from me for food, clothes and daily necessities. The economy depends on us." She didn't think much of it when she bought it, but when she counted it after buying it, she realized that she had spent a lot of money. The second sister-in-law felt both distressed and heartbroken.

"It's worth the money. Buying something is also a gain." The mother comforted the second sister-in-law, then looked at the old man and smiled: "But the biggest gain is one person."

"What?" The old man didn't understand and asked in confusion.

"It's you, you've recognized your mother." The mother laughed, and everyone looked at the father in agreement. But the father was stubborn, "Did I say I recognized her? But she treated me well this time, so I don't hate her anymore."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard what Lao Dou said. Everyone knew Lao Dou's character. The fact that he said that meant that he had completely forgiven A Zhuan in his heart. "That's what you say, Lao Dou, but why didn't your aunt come to see us off?" A Zu suddenly asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ah Zhuan carrying a red, white and blue plastic bag and walking towards him. From her actions, he could tell that the red, white and blue plastic bag was very heavy. After Kang Qirui handed the bag to Zhu Wanling, he quickly stepped forward and took the red, white and blue plastic bag from Ah Zhuan. Although Kang Qirui had been prepared, it was almost too heavy for him to lift.

"Ah Shou, I got some gifts from home for you to take back to Guangzhou." Ah Zhuan, feeling lighter in his hands, walked quickly to the old lady and said with a smile, "It's just a small gift. Don't be polite."

"Grandma, I won't be polite then." A-Zu smiled brightly when he heard it, and he opened the bag immediately after Kang Qirui put it on the ground, "Jeans? I like them." He was excited when he picked up a pair of jeans, but after he took a closer look, he looked disgusted, "Wow, these jeans seem to be from the 1970s, A-Rui, do you think the style is similar? Grandma, it's not suitable for us to wear them now."

Kang Qirui ignored him. No matter what, it was a token of someone's kindness. He couldn't do such a rude thing as to despise him in person. But A-Zu's eyes were really sharp. A-Zhuan looked at the jeans and said without embarrassment, "Although I bought this pair of jeans in the 1970s, I have never worn it. I was reluctant to wear it and put it away. I didn't find it until now."

"Is it really from the 1970s?" A-Zu himself was shocked, while the second sister-in-law covered her mouth and laughed.

"Oh, old things are good, they are precious in the old days." The nanny pulled A-Zu and told him to stop embarrassing himself. After she sent A-Zu away, she took out a coat from the red, white and blue plastic bag and said in a surprised tone, "Wow, this is a fleece coat, it's made of real material, you can't buy it now."

Ah Zhuan suddenly became happy. She smiled and said, "This dress is not second-hand. I bought it at Luohu Commercial City last year. It's not real velvet, but it's very warm to wear."

"Grandma, it doesn't matter if you have a few more bags of these things." The second sister-in-law raised the bird's nest in her hand and pointed at the red, white and blue plastic bags on the ground, "Forget about these, we have to sell them ourselves. My master told you the other day that I run a clothing company. Anyway, I can help you bring these things back to your hometown in Guangzhou, okay? Forget about us."

"You don't want these clothes anymore, right?" Ah Zhuan looked at everyone and asked. Second sister-in-law shrugged, which was very clear. Ah Zhuan took out a letter from the bag and said, "Then you don't want the letters in this bag either, right?" Xianglan thought Ah Zhuan wanted everyone to help her deliver the letter, so she asked, "Do you have other relatives in Guangzhou? Do you want us to take a letter back for you? Give me the address and I'll deliver it to you when I return to Guangzhou this afternoon."

Seeing that Zhuan just shook his head and said nothing, Zu boldly guessed, "Could it be a red envelope?"

"Do you want it?" A Zhuan neither admitted nor denied.

"Oh, you treated us to food and drinks and took us out to play these days. I feel embarrassed to take your red envelope." The old man refused with a smile. After these few days, he roughly realized that his aunt, whom he hadn't seen for many years, was not doing very well. He just didn't expose it for the sake of face.

Ah Zhuan ignored his father's words and opened the envelope. It turned out to be a check. Everyone was shocked when they saw the amount on the check. They guessed it was a red envelope or money, but no one thought it was so much money.

"This is a check for two hundred thousand. I thought that you have lived in the Xiguan mansion in Guangfu for so many years. It's time to renovate it." Ah Zhuan said to Lao Dou, "After all, I also walked out of that Xiguan mansion and came to Hong Kong City. I have some feelings for it. So I prepared this two hundred thousand for you to take back and renovate. But if you don't want it, then..."

As she said this, she was about to put the check away. As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than his mother. Although she had only been his stepmother for more than three years, she knew his character very well. She thought that his previous words were just bragging, just like her. The Xiguan mansion was enlarged and decorated well was all fake. She also thought that the Xiguan mansion was almost a hundred years old, so she took out all her wealth and gave it to her father to decorate.

"Yes, yes, yes. If dad doesn't want it, I want it." When A-Zhuan saw that he was about to take the check back, A-Zu immediately rushed to the front and said.

Kang Qirui couldn't bear to watch it. According to his memories from his previous life, he knew clearly that Ah Zhuan was not really rich. Her house in Hong Kong was less than 400 square feet. This 200,000 was probably her entire fortune. So he solemnly shouted, "Old Four..."

Although A Zu is the elder brother, he is always afraid that Kang Qirui will be angry. After being yelled at by Kang Qirui, he retracted his hand, but still tried to say: "A Rui, this is a token of my grandmother's love, we must accept it, don't you think so, big brother?"

A Zu tried to win over Da Lao Guang, but Da Lao Guang was not stupid. Kang Qirui clearly opposed Lao Dou's opinion, and he would not take sides casually in this situation. A Zu knew there was no hope when he saw Da Lao Guang's look, so he shrugged and lowered his head and got on the bus first.

Kang Qirui helped Ah Zhuan put the check back into the envelope and said, "Grandma, my dad told you a few days ago that we renovated the Xiguan Mansion three years ago and doubled its size. It's not that I don't appreciate your kindness or that I don't recognize you as my grandma, but I really don't need your money right now. You can take it back and spend it slowly."

"Really?" Ah Zhuan was still skeptical.

"Really? If you don't believe me, why don't you come back with us and you'll know?" Kang Qirui invited Ah Zhuan to go back to Guangfu with them. Ah Zhuan was tempted and was about to nod, her feet even raised, but she finally held back, "Forget it, I still have to take care of Coco. I'll take Coco back with me when she's on vacation."
