My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 500: You Wish

In the end, Yu Zeqin drove them out of his office, and the two left Chengzhou with disheveled looks.

In the end, Zhou Shuyan did not promise to lift the ban on the two men.

After driving Lin Zhenghao and Lin Jingshen out of the office, Zhou Shuyan finally removed the installed camera and took out the memory card to keep it safe, ready to show Lu Youxi when he got off work in the evening.

Time seemed to fly without notice,

especially during busy times, when it felt like it quietly slipped through one’s fingers.

Zhou Shuyan was busy with the innovation of smartphones.

Lu Youxi was juggling both the Little Pink Book and Hexing Rice while also keeping an eye on Youshu Real Estate’s business, particularly the hotel that was under construction.

Just like this, another Spring Festival arrived in the blink of an eye.

The village chief was mostly busy with Hexing Rice in the Imperial Capital and rarely returned to Hexing Village.

So, as the New Year approached, the village chief bought a ticket to go home in advance.

Ever since Grandma Xu came to the Imperial Capital with Lu Youxi, her children had never once inquired about her over the year.

They didn’t even know Grandma Xu was in the Imperial Capital.

It seemed they wouldn’t be returning for the New Year either.

Although Grandma Xu had transferred the house to them, it hadn’t been demolished yet.

Grandma Xu was missing the villagers too.

Life in the Imperial Capital was good, but she still longed for the familiar faces of Hexing Village.

So, she planned to return to Hexing Village with the village chief.

Hearing Grandma Xu’s decision, Lu Youxi glanced at Lu Zhenguo’s reaction and actively asked, "Dad, do you want to go back?"

Lu Zhenguo moved his lips and said, "I want to go back and see how your grandparents are doing. But let’s not have the New Year’s Eve dinner at their house, let’s stay with Aunt Xu."

"I... I’ll just take a look," Lu Zhenguo thought for a moment and added, "If you don’t want to go back, I can go by myself."

"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t soften," Lu Zhenguo took the initiative, "After all, they are my parents, I just want to check on their health. I know my limits with everything else."

"Especially your mom, in order not to cause you trouble, she won’t even mention your matters to her family. I understand her concerns, and I won’t cause you any trouble either."

"Dad, what are you talking about? They wouldn’t dare to trouble me at all now," Lu Youxi said with a smile.

"But this year is different from last year," Lu Youxi continued, "This year, Zhou Shuyan’s grandfather will also come to our house for the New Year. With an elder present, I should at least stay until the second day of the New Year before going back to Hexing Village."

"Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I’d still want to go back to see how Aunt Lin and the others are doing," Lu Youxi said in front of Lu Zhenguo, deliberately avoiding any mention of visiting the Lu Family’s elders.

Lu Zhenguo knew Lu Youxi’s attitude towards the Lu Family’s elders and said nothing.

Lu Zhenguo thought it over and said, "Then I’ll wait and go back with you."

"That’s fine," Lu Youxi said with a nod and a smile.

Grandma Xu stuck to the original plan and went back with the village chief.

They also had their New Year’s Eve dinner at the village chief’s house.

Grandma Xu’s New Year was more lively than the last.

On the thirtieth day of the year, Lu Youxi had lunch at home with Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu, and only in the afternoon did he return to the Zhou Mansion with Zhou Shuyan.

This year, the Elder Zhou was also spending the New Year at the Zhou Mansion, to the displeasure of Xu Jingmin.

Once the Elder Zhou arrived, Zhou Xueyi had to come along as well.

On New Year’s, a family reunion is expected, and even if Xu Jingmin was annoyed, she couldn’t just turn Zhou Xueyi away.

As Zhou Xueyi walked in, he overheard Lu Youxi discussing with the Elder Zhou about the progress of Youshu Hotel.

Lu Youxi was not in a rush to keep buying land and building properties.

He planned to get Youshu Hotel up and running first.

Only now did Zhou Xueyi learn that the Elder Zhou had actually invested in Lu Youxi, letting her dive into real estate!

"Dad!" Before Lu Youxi could finish, Zhou Xueyi couldn’t wait to interject, "When did you invest in her real estate company?"

"It’s been nearly half a year," the Elder Zhou said, "You just found out?"

Zhou Xueyi was clearly out of the loop.

It seems Zhou Shuyan had withheld quite a bit of information from Zhou Xueyi.

He only knew what Zhou Shuyan wanted him to know.

What Zhou Shuyan didn’t want him to find out, Zhou Xueyi had no chance of digging up.

The Elder Zhou could guess that Zhou Shuyan kept Zhou Xueyi in the dark about Lu Youxi starting Youshu Real Estate because he feared Zhou Xueyi would cause trouble for Lu Youxi.

Unlike other ventures, Youshu Real Estate was just starting and was not yet stable enough to withstand Zhou Xueyi’s meddling.

But this spoke even more to Zhou Shuyan’s current control over the Zhou Family.

It was no longer something Zhou Xueyi could mess with.

Choked by the Elder Zhou’s response, Zhou Xueyi managed to say after a pause, "Dad, how can you casually make an investment for Lu Youxi like this, aren’t you afraid of losing money? She’s so young, with no related education, her only experience being the Little Pink Book and Hexing Rice. But that’s completely different from real estate."

"I understand you plan to have Chengzhou venture into real estate, looking for a pioneer to test the waters, but why choose Lu Youxi?" Zhou Xueyi couldn’t help saying, "It would be better to let Shuxun handle it. It’d be a good exercise for him too."

The Elder Zhou, wearing reading glasses, slightly lowered his head as his glasses slipped a bit down his nose.

Looking over the top of his glasses, the Elder Zhou glanced at Zhou Xueyi and said, "I’ve heard that Shuxun is doing well at your company."

"He is doing well, with ease, so it’s the right time to give him more responsibilities to polish his skills," Zhou Xueyi said.

"That’s good," the Elder Zhou nodded.

Zhou Xueyi felt elated and immediately suggested, "Then, how about letting Shuxun try his hand at Youshu Real Estate?"

"You wish," Lu Youxi replied bluntly, rolling his eyes, "I built it from scratch. Now you want to reap the benefits?"

Lu Youxi couldn’t be more informal with Zhou Xueyi.

"What ’fruit’ have you grown? You haven’t even finished building the hotel yet," Zhou Xueyi retorted angrily, "They invested in you to do real estate, and you bought such a crummy piece of land."

Seizing the opportunity, Zhou Xueyi addressed the Elder Zhou: "Dad, I’ve always said Lu Youxi doesn’t know anything. Buying that land, isn’t it just wasting money?"

"The money I gave her is accounted for; indeed, it wasn’t enough to buy elsewhere. Now that land is the best solution," the Elder Zhou explained, "The way I’m nurturing Youxi is the same as I did with you."

"At the beginning, I also gave you a portion of investment for you to manage on your own, and I didn’t meddle," the Elder Zhou continued, "So you shouldn’t meddle with Youxi either."

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

"How is she the same as us?" Zhou Xueyi couldn’t help saying.

"She’s my granddaughter-in-law, no different from you," the Elder Zhou said, "Let Shuxun think about what field he is interested in, write up a systematic report for me to review, and if it’s good, I might also give him some investment to start his own business. Just like how I supported Youxi."
