Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 178 Are you still reasonable?
Lin Ruoxi looked at the shabby van going away and asked, "Why is the village chief's cigarette different from theirs?"

Xue Rui had never told her before, but she found out when she was paying the bill that the two red cigarettes were more expensive than the rest combined.

Xue Rui was speechless. Is there any need to ask about this? The leaders and the workers were not treated the same.

But he didn't want to explain to Lin Ruoxi that it was useless for this girl to learn these things.

"I asked Yu Minlan to pick you up. I won't go over today." Xue Rui said.

"Well, I'll go to school to bring you food." Lin Ruoxi responded obediently.

She knew that Xue Rui had been very busy recently, as he had to take care of his grandmother's affairs and prepare for the college entrance examination.

Soon, Yu Minlan's car stopped in front of the restaurant.

Xue Rui and Yu Minlan nodded and walked upstairs.

Xue Jianfeng just came down from upstairs at this time and drove Xue Rui home.

On the way, the two of them didn't say a word, as if they were waiting for the other to speak.

……

After arriving home, Xue Jianfeng called the whole family over and prepared to hold a family meeting.

It was only half an hour from the time they returned home to the time they waited for Xue Yao to finish school, but there were five more cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of Xue Jianfeng.

"Dad, please smoke less." Xue Rui said.

Xue Jianfeng sighed and lit another one...

"Dad, why are you so rebellious?" Xue Rui asked, signaling his sister beside him with his eyes.

Xue Yao frowned, snatched the cigarette from Xue Jianfeng's mouth, threw it directly into the ashtray, and took the cigarette box on the coffee table.

Xue Jianfeng sighed again. He was feeling very complicated.

He was afraid that Xue Rui would learn bad things by following that group of idle rich second-generations, so he put special financial controls on him. He didn't expect that this kid would make so much money before he even graduated from high school!
Xue Rui now has much more cash flow than him.

He was really confused, as if all his good intentions over the past decade had vanished in an instant.

Moreover, he did not think that Xue Rui's earning money had anything to do with his education. It was Xue Rui's own fault.

The child has just grown up. He has saved so much money, but before he can provide support to Xue Rui's life, his son takes off first?

He felt a sense of loss as if he had been sharpening his sword for ten years, only to find after coming out that the world had entered the era of hot weapons.

This feeling of powerlessness as if he had punched nothing really made him feel empty and depressed.

"Wife, Xiaorui made 100 million." Xue Jianfeng said, this kind of thing can only be shared with family members.

Ren Qunfang’s eyes widened. Xue Rui made 100 million?

It's not like she hasn't ventured into society before. When she and Xue Jianfeng were running a husband-and-wife shop, they worked so hard that they could only make 5,000 to 6,000 yuan a month, and they had to spend it on various things...

Xue Rui earned 100 million at this age?

Doesn't that mean...

Although Xue Yao was surprised, she didn't think much about it and just thought her brother was amazing.

"Is this what we are talking about in the meeting?" Xue Yao was lying on the sofa playing with her phone.

In fact, Xue Yao had never lacked money since she was a child, and she had no specific concept of money. She only knew that one hundred million was a lot.

"Okay, Yaoyao, go eat." Xue Rui sent Xue Yao away. There was no point in having Xue Yao get involved in such matters.

Xue Jianfeng and Ren Qunfang looked at each other and stared at Xue Rui with sharp eyes.

Xue Rui said helplessly: "Let me tell you from the beginning. I made a game two years ago, and then I asked Uncle Gu..."

Xue Rui recounted the story of how he made money, from making games to asking Gu Qingshan to handle the paperwork, and then selling the games to earn dividends, and speculating in virtual currencies...

The two felt like they were in a dream and it seemed too unreal.

"Xiao Rui, even if you have money, don't get involved with bad people..." Xue Jianfeng said earnestly.

"I know, some things are ruined once you touch them." Xue Rui said with a smile.

"You haven't seen it in person. Do you know Boss Jie? The fat guy who used to come to our house, his son is..."

Xue Rui certainly knew these truths. Many people couldn't even quit smoking, let alone getting addicted to drugs, which would ruin their lives.

No matter how strong-willed a person is, he or she cannot withstand the force of those things.

"Dad, I don't even touch cigarettes or alcohol, do you think I would touch those things?" Xue Rui interrupted.

Xue Jianfeng was speechless for a moment.

He never restricted Xue Rui's spending in his own restaurant and let him act as extravagant as he wanted.

However, when he thought about it carefully, although Xue Rui took cigarettes and drank alcohol in the restaurant, he had never seen Xue Rui smoking or drinking.

In other words, his son is much better than him in this regard, but he only uses those two things as social tools and doesn't touch them himself.

"Dad doesn't want this money from you, but you have to distribute it reasonably..." Xue Jianfeng began to nag again, thinking about slowly teaching his years of experience to his son.

"Dad, I remember that our family took out a loan from the bank to build that resort hotel, right? Do you want me to pay it back for you?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

Xue Jianfeng immediately got angry again: "Get lost, how much money do I owe you? Go to sleep."

After Xue Rui left, Xue Jianfeng took out another pack of cigarettes.

"Honey, what should we do?" Ren Qunfang looked worried.

"I don't know either!" Xue Jianfeng, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked confused and helpless.

As the old saying goes, when a child brings home his first money, it is the happiest moment for parents, because it proves that the child has grown up and has the ability to survive independently in the world.

But he couldn't be happy at all now. Xue Rui had a huge amount of cash at such a young age, and he would receive a large dividend every year in the future...

Which parent doesn't want to help their children pave the way for the future? But Xue Rui has paved the way for himself now... This means that Xue Rui will not have to rely on his family's support in the future... He and Ren Qunfang only feel worried about gains and losses.

"What if Xiao Rui doesn't look for us in the future?" Ren Qunfang frowned.

Xue Rui has liked hanging out since he was a child, but he would still go home to eat when he was hungry.

Now Xue Rui will never go hungry, and she is afraid that Xue Rui will rarely come home in the future.

It was as if my son would run away if I let go.

“It’s okay. Speculating in cryptocurrencies is similar to speculating in stocks. You never know, you might lose everything one day.” Xue Jianfeng comforted himself.

"It's good that we lost. Xiao Rui had such an easy time." Ren Qunfang nodded.

"Today I saw a very beautiful girl next to Xiao Rui, who was taller than the daughter of the Gu family." Xue Jianfeng cursed again, "This stinky boy, as soon as he got some stinky money, he went out to mess around with other girls."

Ren Qunfang was stunned. She guessed that it should be Lin Ruoxi. She said in a deep voice: "We should not interfere in emotional matters. We should let nature take its course."

"The daughter of the Gu family is so nice, so beautiful and generous." Xue Jianfeng said seriously.

He felt that Xue Rui was young and did not understand the laws governing the operation of the world.

In his opinion, money is nothing? When things really go wrong, money plays a very small role.

The person who should be the biggest help to Xue Rui in life should be Gu Muxue, and they have been childhood sweethearts, so she is obviously the most suitable choice.

"Is it true that the whole world only cares about girls? I only know one girl, she is pretty and gentle..." Ren Qunfang retorted.

"What's the use of a beautiful vase? If I can't help Xiao Rui solve the problem when he encounters a problem..."

"Xue Jianfeng! Are you saying what's really in your heart?" Ren Qunfang's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, and her eye sockets gradually became moist.

Xue Jianfeng slapped himself hard. He was so confused by Xue Rui today that he was dizzy. How could he say such things in front of his wife?
"Wife, that's not what I meant." Xue Jianfeng gritted his teeth. All these things were caused by Xue Rui!
Originally he could still find some sense of existence in Xue Rui, but now it's all over...

He is at the bottom of the family!

"Tell me, what do you mean?" Ren Qunfang turned her head to the side.

"I was penniless back then, and meeting you was my blessing, but Xiao Rui is different. He is now a billionaire, and it's hard to say what the women around him are thinking..."

"How can those mediocre women out there compare with you? They are good-looking but useless. But you have nurtured two outstanding men..."

Xue Rui was sitting at the stairs on the second floor and he could hear the conversation between the two clearly.

It would take his dad at least an hour to coax his mom.

At this time, Xue Xiaying, who had just got off work, opened the door and found her brother squatting in front of her sister-in-law in a half-kneeling position, looking up and whispering nice things, and it was obvious that he was trying to coax her sister-in-law...

Xue Xiaying looked embarrassed. She pretended not to see it and tiptoed upstairs.

When he reached the corner of the stairs, he found Xue Rui hiding in the corner and eavesdropping.

"Xiao Rui, why are you hiding here and eavesdropping?" Xue Xiaying scolded in a low voice and pulled Xue Rui upstairs as well.

Watching Xue Xiaying twisting her neck to climb the stairs, Xue Rui asked, "Aunt, what is Ren Jun doing recently?"

"He keeps cats and dogs and memorizes his lessons every day. I go over to tutor him in math occasionally, and I can also play with the cats and dogs at the same time." Xue Xiaying said with a smile.

Xue Rui nodded with a smile. That boy really focused on his work. He hadn't been out doing anything for more than a year. He was concentrating on running the pet shop and studying hard, saving up 500 points for the betrothal gift.

"Remember to wake me up tomorrow morning." Xue Rui said.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem." Xue Xiaying said with a smile.

Ren Qunfang is the first one to get up in the family. Every morning she would call everyone in the family to get up to go to work or school. She has been doing this day after day for ten years and has never worried about oversleeping.

"Okay, I'll take your car to go to school tomorrow morning." Xue Rui yawned. There were really too many things going on recently.

As a result, it was the next day.

It's 8 o'clock sharp in the morning.

Xue Rui was pulled up from the bed by Xue Xiaying: "Xiao Rui! You're late!"

Xue Rui rubbed his sleepy eyes: "What time is it?"

"It's past eight o'clock! Let's go!" Xue Xiaying hurriedly put clothes on Xue Rui.

Xue Rui felt uncomfortable from being tickled: "Aunt, you said last night that there would be no problem."

"Uh..." Xue Xiaying didn't know what to say. Ren Qunfang overslept today and didn't even wake her up to go to work.

"Hurry up and get up, my class is the first one in the morning." Xue Xiaying said with a gloomy face.

Class has already started, but she, as a teacher, is not at school...

On the road, Xue Xiaying drove very fast and even rushed a green light.

The two of them trotted all the way to the school classroom, and half of the class had already passed.

Class monitor Guo Qingqing sat on the podium to supervise, while the students below were doing their exercises quietly.

When the students saw the head teacher come in, they looked surprised. Director Wang had just asked where Teacher Xue had been.

Facing the students' questioning gazes, Xue Xiaying glanced at Xue Rui, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

Xue Rui suddenly had the illusion that someone was plotting against him, but what could his aunt plot against him?

Under Xue Rui's puzzled gaze, Xue Xiaying said coldly: "Xue Rui, go stand at the door."

Xue Rui pointed at himself in disbelief: "Me?"

"You were caught by me for being late, and you still think you're right?" Xue Xiaying said with a sullen face.

The students showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. Did the head teacher go to arrest Xue Rui?
