My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 473: When will you introduce me to your wife?

Chapter 473: Chapter 473: When will you introduce me to your wife?

"People say he was originally the head of the Zhou family and the CEO of Chengzhou, so there’s no such thing as taking advantage," Fang Meiqiong stated objectively. "Moreover, ever since the old man announced Zhou Shuyan as the head of the Zhou family and promoted him to be the CEO of Chengzhou, wasn’t everything of the Zhou family already his?"

"Why wait until now?" Fang Meiqiong said.

Zhou Xueyi was silent for a long while before he finally asked, "Did you know about this all along?"

Fang Meiqiong said calmly, "I thought you knew already."

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

If he had known earlier, would he have been so busy?

Even though it was so, Zhou Xueyi still couldn’t help feeling unwilling.

Fang Meiqiong thought that instead of struggling with Chengzhou, Zhou Xueyi might as well focus on his own business.

After all, he had no hope for Chengzhou.

Fang Meiqiong then changed the subject, "How is your company doing? Our son is planning to expand the business. You should at least lay a solid foundation, right?"

Now Zhou Xueyi knew nothing about Chengzhou, but when it came to his own company, he had a lot to say.

Nodding, he said: "Don’t worry, I’m focusing on the company these days, and I’m arranging for Shuxun to join the company as soon as possible so that he won’t be out playing all the time."

Seeing that Zhou Xueyi’s attention had been diverted, Fang Meiqiong stopped talking about other things.

After Lu Youzhen finished the college entrance exam, it wasn’t long before Lu Youxi welcomed his freshman summer vacation.

Other students would rest, play, travel, and party during the holidays.

But it seemed like Lu Youxi hadn’t taken a holiday at all.

With no classes, he spent his entire day working diligently at both Little Pink Book and Hexing Rice.

Lu Youxi was busy with work, but she didn’t realize that she didn’t want to stay at home during the summer holiday at all.

After receiving the admission letter, Lu Youzhen couldn’t stay in Hexing Village and was eager to experience life in the Imperial Capital.

After packing her bags and dressing herself with care, she headed to the Imperial Capital, leaving Ge Guifen alone in Hexing Village.

The left-behind Ge Guifen wished so much that the Lu family’s elders would die sooner.

That way, she could come to the Imperial Capital earlier to enjoy life with her children, instead of being trapped in Hexing Village to take care of the Lu family’s elders.

Her so-called care involved leaving the elders directly in bed without clothes, covered with blankets, a urine pad underneath their bodies.

Letting them relieve themselves in bed, Ge Guifen only changed their urine pads and fed them thin porridge to fill their stomachs.

This was to hasten their death.

However, to her dismay, the Lu family’s elders were tenaciously alive despite being treated this way.

Even visibly emaciated, down to skin and bones, they were still alive.

Ge Guifen was infuriated, constantly muttering under her breath, wishing the Lu family’s elders to die soon.

Meanwhile, Lu Youzhen, who had come to the Imperial Capital for the first time, stepped out of the train and into the train station of the Imperial Capital. She saw the passengers coming and going, especially those who had been living in the Imperial Capital for some time, and realized her own dress, which she thought was pretty and fashionable.

Yet in this big city, her appearance revealed a rustic air, and the style seemed years behind everyone else’s.

Upon leaving the train station, she saw Lu Youbang waiting there.

"Brother!" Lu Youzhen, dragging her luggage, hurried over to Lu Youbang.

Looking at Lu Youbang from top to bottom, Lu Youzhen remarked, "Brother, you’ve changed so much after two years in the Imperial Capital."

Lu Youbang’s skin was several shades whiter than before, and he dressed fashionably.

"You’re dressed just like a city person now," Lu Youzhen said as she looked over Lu Youbang, with a hint of envy in her voice.

If she had come to the city as early as Lu Youbang, she could be that fashionable too.

Instead, even wearing her most stylish clothes, she still looked unsophisticated and easily identifiable as a non-city dweller.

Lu Youbang, familiar with Lu Youzhen’s temperament, chuckled as he took her luggage and said, "You’ve always known how to dress up. Now that you’re in the Imperial Capital, it won’t take you many days to become just like the people here. No one can tell you’re from Hexing Village."

At first, what Lu Youbang said lightened Lu Youzhen’s face with a certain pleasure.

But the last sentence made her frown again.

"Brother, now that I’ve come to the Imperial Capital, I’m going to be a person of the Imperial Capital," Lu Youzhen declared, "I’ve decided that I will never go back to Hexing Village. Once I become a flight attendant, I will settle down in the Imperial Capital for good."

"So, from now on, don’t mention anything about Hexing Village," Lu Youzhen said, "From this moment on, I have nothing to do with Hexing Village."

Lu Youbang hesitated for a moment, furrowed his brows slightly, and said, "But our mother is still in Hexing Village."

"Aren’t you planning to take care of her?" Lu Youbang asked.

"Of course, I’ll take care of her, but you can’t expect me to be the only one to do it, can you?" Lu Youzhen said, "You’ve been in the Imperial Capital for two years and didn’t visit Hexing Village even during vacations. When our father had an accident, all you did was give a phone call or two."

Lu Youzhen’s tone was full of discontent when she brought it up, "Do you plan on letting me take care of Mother on my own?"

"In our family, sons are favored over daughters. Parents always give you the best, and I get only what’s left over. If it weren’t for Lu Youxi standing up for me, I would be the worst off in the family," Lu Youzhen complained, "Parents have been so good to you, yet since you came to the Imperial Capital, you’ve never gone back, not even when Dad had an accident."

"I haven’t neglected it," Lu Youbang defended himself. "Life in the Imperial Capital is expensive, and I was just trying to save on the travel expenses. Besides, what can we do about the situation with Dad? It’s not manageable."

"Doesn’t hiring a lawyer cost money? Even if we did, we wouldn’t win the case. It would just mean throwing money away for nothing," Lu Youbang explained, "You and Mom weren’t willing to spend on legal fees either, so why blame me now?"

"Let’s not talk about Dad’s situation for now," Lu Youzhen thought to herself, convinced that she wouldn’t be easily misled, "You never come home on vacation, and that little bit of saved travel expense, what is it? It won’t even cover your accommodation in the Imperial Capital. How expensive is rent here? And since you don’t have a long-term rental, it must be even more expensive!"

Lu Youbang looked around and then whispered to Lu Youzhen: "I was dating a girl before, a local from the Imperial Capital. Her family is exceptionally wealthy and owns several houses here. She gave one of the vacant ones to me to live in. Not only do I not have to pay rent, but I also save on the travel expenses home."

Lu Youzhen’s eyes lit up, "You were dating such a rich girlfriend?"

"It’s not just wealthy, her father is an official. She could even sort out my public sector job after I graduate," said Lu Youbang.

"Brother, with such an amazing girlfriend, why didn’t you tell the family?" Lu Youzhen forgot her grievances and grabbed Lu Youbang’s arm, shaking it as she spoke, "When can you introduce me to my sister-in-law?"
