Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!
Chapter 432 - 320. Wealth is nothing if you don’t return home.

Chapter 432: 320. Wealth is nothing if you don’t return home.

Father and son chatted for a while before Li Yan called them to the dinner table.

From his last life to now, Mr. Lu hadn’t been home for a long time to enjoy a meal cooked by his mom.

"I’ve been at school worrying about this bite."

Lu Jincheng filled a big bowl with rice, let himself go, and ate eagerly.

It still tasted as he remembered.

The four dishes and one soup in front of him were just right for a family of three to eat without wasting.

The love of family could be seen in the daily routines.

The salty and savory taro fried rice was love, the thick old chicken soup was love, the flavored meat slices were love, and the most homely fried eggs with tomatoes were also love.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter cycled at the dining table.

It turned out, behind every vegetable and every rice, there was proof of his parents’ love for him and for their family.

Chinese like to greet each other with "Have you eaten?" because it conveys genuine care and concern.

Food became the measure of our lives.

And the answer to happiness was in the meals of three times a day, four seasons a year prepared early by his parents.

"No one’s competing with you! Look at you, what’s the rush."

Li Yan watched her son eat with a smile, and like most mothers, worried about his studies.

"How did you do on your final exams?"

"Are you getting used to school?"

"Is your allowance sufficient? Your dad just mentioned increasing your allowance next term, but if it’s enough, we won’t."

And faced with his own mother, Lu Jincheng also showed the patience of someone who has lived two lifetimes.

To an eighteen-year-old, a mother’s chatter might seem excessive and bothersome, an endless series of tiresome questions.

But to Mr. Lu, who had reached middle age, this moment was especially precious.

This was the best age for him.

And the youngest age in his memory for his parents.

How could he not cherish it?

"I did pretty well, should pass all subjects, don’t worry."

"I’m getting used to it, my roommates are all nice."

"About the allowance... it’s enough. I actually wanted to tell you, I won’t need an allowance next semester."

Lu Jincheng looked up seriously.

"It’s enough, right... huh?"

Li Yan was just responding to Lu Jincheng when she realized what he said.

Based on her and Lu Yuqing’s incomes, the allowance they gave Lu Jincheng was average, neither high nor low.

Did she hear wrong?

Not needed anymore?

"Why?"

Both she and Lu Yuqing asked curiously.

"It’s thanks to the computer you bought me when school started. I’m studying business management, you know, and I started a small online business."

Lu Jincheng said, mixing seven parts truth with three parts exaggeration, choosing a way his family might be more accepting of.

"What small business? You’re telling me you’re a university student focusing on anything but your studies?"

Li Yan frowned, her own understanding leading her to instinctively raise questions.

"I opened a Taobao store, the kind that sells clothes, you know?"

Counting his rags-to-riches experience starting from scratch, "Tanhua Customization" was still somewhat down to earth.

After all, in 2015 a Taobao store was a novel concept that the older generation could understand.

Further, Tanhua Customization’s Management College also offered a course in e-commerce, providing a small point of connection.

"Oh, I see."

Li Yan nodded vaguely.

Being a middle-aged woman who managed household affairs, she often shopped on Taobao herself.

This stuff really was cheaper than offline!

So, she was beginning to have expectations about Lu Jincheng making money.

"So how much money can a store make? You don’t need any allowance at all?"

"Ah, right, no need."

Lu Jincheng shook his head.

"I don’t lack money now."

"Ha ha ha... then we won’t give it to you."

Unexpectedly, his parents didn’t take it seriously at all, exchanging a knowing look with happy expressions across their faces.

Mr. Lu looked at Li Yan, then at the calm Lu Yuqing, and decided to continue speaking.

This wasn’t the reaction he had wanted.

"My store had a hit product and made a few million."

"What?"

"How much???"

Soon, he saw the expected expressions.

Lu Yuqing, who had been nonchalantly sipping soup, almost couldn’t hold his bowl steady.

On the other hand, Li Yan widened her eyes in disbelief and patted his shoulder, asking again.

"Are you talking about RMB?"

"Yes."

Now it was Jin Cheng’s turn to be nonchalant.

"Really?"

"Mom, look over there."

Mr. Lu pursed his lips and pointed to his suitcase, beginning his moment of showing off.

"This one suitcase is worth over 30,000, and those living expenses, just a drop in the bucket."

In the corner of the living room sat a classic monogrammed LV rolling suitcase, which at a glance, didn’t look branded at all.

"..."

Li Yan stood up, examined the unimpressive suitcase, turned her head to exchange a glance with Lu Yuqing, barely concealing her surprise.

The group of people’s teachers are not few in their ability to recognize good quality.

Could what Jin Cheng said be true?

No...

That’s too exaggerated, right?

Did he really make a few million?

Before Li Yan could continue questioning, Jin Cheng pulled out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to her with a smile.

"Mom, you’re definitely going to say I’m spending recklessly."

"But I’m actually quite thrifty, besides the necessary expenses, I’ve even saved some."

"Take this card, buy yourself a few bags you want later, and get a new car for Dad."

"I’m so tired of that old Passat."

In the eyes of his parents, Jin Cheng slowly straightened his posture.

Showing off a small part of his achievements and letting his parents learn to accept his growth was necessary.

As the saying goes, being rich and not returning home is like walking at night in brocade clothes.

Who makes money and doesn’t buy something for their parents first?

Some people reincarnate and make money, hiding it from their family, sneaky and not quite upfront.

They forget the initial purpose of their return.

After all, in this world, anyone might be jealous of your achievements, dislike you, and resent everything about you.

But not parents.

Parents are the people in the world who most wish you well.

On one hand, they hope you achieve things, and on the other, they hope you don’t work too hard for your career.

When Li Yan learned that Jin Cheng had made money, her reaction was just like countless other mothers concerned about their children.

"You keep it for yourself... Mom doesn’t want it."

Her voice was surprised and joyful, yet secretly filled with excitement.

"Mom knows money isn’t easy to earn, young people have big expenses... just spend more on yourself."

"Your dad and I don’t need it."

Parents are like the little sprites in every game that teach you at the start, so that you can level up and fight monsters on your own after they are gone.

Li Yan pushed the bank card back, but he didn’t take it.

Jin Cheng looked at his parents’ faces and revealed an extremely bright smile.

"Keep it, I’m not someone driven by material desires."

"After earning money, the thing I want to do the most is to make you happy."
