My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 474: Did You Pocket It Yourself?

"It’s perfect that I’ve just arrived in the Imperial Capital, unfamiliar with life here, and I can have my sister-in-law show me around." Lu Youzhen’s eyes sparkled as she calculated eagerly, "Where does sister-in-law usually shop for clothes? I’ll have her take me there too. By the way, I can also buy some pretty clothes for myself."

Lu Youbang thought to himself that it wasn’t just that he had broken up with Huang Mengyao, even if he hadn’t, Lu Youzhen couldn’t afford the brands that Huang Mengyao usually wore.

How much their family earned and their situation, wasn’t he all too aware of it?

Although now, by selling Hexing Rice, they made more money than before.

But it seemed that since Ge Guifen was the only one farming, and Lu Youzhen didn’t help,

the yield and quality of Ge Guifen’s crops were not as good as others’, so the money earned was also not as much as others made.

But it still was much more than before.

That’s why Lu Youzhen had the money to study in the Imperial Capital.

As for Lu Youzhen arriving so early before the start of school, it was also due to Ge Guifen using the money she got from the Lu Family’s elders and giving it to Lu Youzhen.

Allowing Lu Youbang to help Lu Youzhen rent a cheap, short-term accommodation to stay in first.

Moreover, she wouldn’t stay too long; soon, Lu Youzhen would be able to live in the school dormitory.

Now with the money from selling Hexing Rice, plus the Lu Family’s elders’ money, Ge Guifen had quite a bit more money on hand.

Lu Youbang darkened his face and said, "It’s all Lu Youxi’s fault!"

"How is this related to Lu Youxi again?" Lu Youzhen asked, puzzled.

"She’s the one who sabotaged me!" Lu Youbang said angrily, "With our family’s situation, if I had been completely honest, I could never have found a girlfriend with such great conditions. So I had to selectively embellish the truth, saying I was from Fengnan City."

"Who knew Lu Youxi would be so eager to see my downfall. After she arrived at Jing University, she started spreading bad words about me and then my girlfriend broke up with me." Lu Youbang still felt the rage as he recalled, clenching his teeth in anger.

Because he also wasn’t sure if he could ever find a girlfriend as good as Huang Mengyao again.

Upon hearing this, Lu Youzhen felt furious that she had lost a wealthy sister-in-law to spend money on her, "Why is Lu Youxi so cheap! Just because she’s not doing well, she has to drag you down with her."

"Now she has dragged you down, and you are messed up. But she’s doing great, running a company and making so much money." Thinking of this made Lu Youzhen’s liver hurt with anger.

"Let’s head to your place first," Lu Youbang said, "I’ve rented it for a month, after which you can move into the school dorm."

"Okay," Lu Youzhen followed Lu Youbang.

Lu Youbang was too thrifty to take a taxi. He dragged Lu Youzhen’s luggage and took her on the bus.

Finally, they arrived at an old and worn-down neighborhood. fгeewebnovёl.com

"How can this neighborhood be so crappy?" Lu Youzhen complained as soon as she entered the neighborhood, "You could have at least rented me a place like Lu Youxi’s neighborhood."

Lu Youxi’s neighborhood didn’t look great either, but compared to this one, it was much better.

"Although this neighborhood is a bit old, it has a good location and is convenient. Five minutes out the door and you’re at the subway station, the bus stop. A big mall is just one subway stop away, and you’ve got plenty of food options nearby. Lots of restaurants and snack bars, breakfast places. If you don’t want to cook, it’s easy to go out for a meal," Lu Youbang explained to Lu Youzhen.

Upon hearing that the mall was close by, Lu Youzhen finally felt a bit happier.

However, the neighborhood was indeed too run-down, and there was no elevator in the building.

Lu Youbang carried Lu Youzhen’s suitcase, while she also carried a bag on her back.

Climbing stairs was exhausting.

"It’s going to be so tiring to climb the stairs every day," Lu Youzhen complained while climbing the stairs.

"You’re only on the third floor; it’s not that high. Besides, you said you wanted to keep fit, right? Climbing the stairs is a form of exercise, perfect for burning calories and keeping in shape," Lu Youbang said with little patience, trying to persuade Lu Youzhen.

Lu Youzhen pouted. Well, if you think about it that way, she supposed it was fine.

They reached the third floor, and Lu Youbang took out the keys to open the door.

Upon entering, all spaces aside from the bathroom and kitchen, including the living and dining areas, had been converted by the landlord into bedrooms.

"Why are there so many bedrooms? There’s not even a living room?" Lu Youzhen was saying.

A girl came out from inside and lazily greeted Lu Youzhen.

Upon seeing Lu Youbang, her eyes lit up, "Is this your boyfriend?"

"There are other people here?" Lu Youzhen blurted out instantly.

"This is a shared apartment," Lu Youbang quietly said to Lu Youzhen, "I’ll show you to your room first."

The room doors had numbers posted on them by the landlord.

Lu Youbang found the room number corresponding to the key, opened the door, and showed Lu Youzhen, "This is your room."

"What do you mean? What do you mean this is my room?" Lu Youzhen demanded, "Are you saying you only rented a bedroom for me? The rest of the place isn’t mine?"

The girl they encountered earlier overheard Lu Youzhen’s words and made a face.

Thinking that Lu Youbang was Lu Youzhen’s boyfriend.

Both seemed like they hadn’t been in the Imperial Capital for long, and Lu Youzhen’s outfit suggested she had just arrived.

No money, yet wanting to live in a nice house?

Wanting to live alone?

She really thought her boyfriend was a soft touch.

Unable to help it, Lu Youbang said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down."

He pulled Lu Youzhen into the room and closed the door behind them.

Lu Youzhen discovered that this bedroom was exceptionally small.

The clothes rack was a simple one, covered with a piece of cloth curtain.

The room was so small; there was hardly any space left after fitting in the bed.

Even walking beside the bed, one had to sidestep, or else the shoulders would hit the walls.

Lu Youzhen’s face fell on the spot.

"Lu Youbang, what do you mean by this? How could you rent such a terrible place for me?" Lu Youzhen raged, "Mom gave you so much money, did you pocket it for yourself?"

"This room is even less spacious than our house back home!" Lu Youzhen said.

"How can you compare city apartments to our self-built houses in the village?" Lu Youbang said helplessly, "Why don’t you also mention our family has a yard? Look at city houses here. Only villas have yards, who else can afford such houses?"

"At least you could have rented a place like Lu Youxi’s for me!" Lu Youzhen said again.

"You think her apartment is cheap? That’s a long-term lease, with a minimum of one year’s agreement," Lu Youbang responded impatiently, "You’re just staying for a month, where am I supposed to find that kind of place for you?"

"Besides, for her apartment, you have to pay a year’s rent at once, plus a security deposit. How much money do you think Mom gave me, enough to cover a year’s rent?"

"After looking around, this is the only kind of place that offers short-term rents," Lu Youbang continued, "Do you think you can just easily rent a decent place in the Imperial Capital with its expensive housing costs?"

"If you want to live in a better place, fine, then you put up the money," Lu Youbang held out his hand, palm up, "In the Imperial Capital, as long as you have money, you can get any kind of mansion you want."
