My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 501: How are the Lu Family’s Elders Now?

When the old man said this, Zhou Shuxun had just entered the foyer of the Zhou Mansion.

He changed his shoes at a leisurely pace in the foyer before walking into the living room and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, what are you going to invest in for me?"

The old man was quite fond of his grandson Zhou Shuxun and said, "You haven’t met your sister-in-law yet, have you? Come and meet her."

Zhou Shuxun’s gaze quickly and accurately locked onto the only person in the room he hadn’t met before, Lu Youxi.

"Sister-in-law." Zhou Shuxun called out with a smile while finding himself a seat.

Lu Youxi was a bit surprised. Zhou Xueyi, at first glance, didn’t seem like a good person to her, but his son, Zhou Shuxun, gave off an entirely different vibe than Zhou Xueyi.

Logically, since Shuxun was born to Zhou Xueyi and carried Zhou Xueyi’s genes, and having lived and been raised by Zhou Xueyi since childhood, he should have taken on some aspect of Zhou Xueyi.

But although it was her first interaction with Zhou Shuxun, Lu Youxi surprisingly didn’t find any resemblance to Zhou Xueyi in him.

In terms of looks, no doubt about it.

Zhou Xueyi and Zhou Shuyan had a few features in common.

Zhou Shuxun resembled both Zhou Shuyan and Zhou Xueyi.

However, other than their physical resemblance, their demeanors, speech, interactions with others, and the feeling one got from their gazes didn’t resemble Zhou Xueyi at all.

At least from the first impression, Lu Youxi thought very highly of Zhou Shuxun.

She didn’t have any prejudice against Zhou Shuxun because of Zhou Xueyi either.

Perhaps it was because the impression Zhou Shuxun gave her was so favorable that even the bias that should have existed by nature was now gone.

And when Zhou Shuxun called out to her, his smile was warm, filled with genuine goodwill and acceptance.

There wasn’t the slightest bit of scrutiny or cold observation.

Lu Youxi might be young in this life, but in her previous life, she was no stranger to the fierce battles of the business world.

Not to mention anything else, but her ability to judge a person was certainly more accurate than Lin Zhenghao’s.

She looked at Zhou Shuxun from all angles and couldn’t find a bad thing about him.

He was polite to her, and Lu Youxi naturally responded with kindness.

With a smile of goodwill towards Zhou Shuxun, she said, "Hello."

"I had heard early on that Big Brother got married, and I promised him that when he was free, we definitely needed to have a meal together, for us to meet," Zhou Shuxun said with a smile, "but Big Brother has been so busy that we’re only meeting now."

Zhou Xueyi impatiently watched as Zhou Shuxun started making small talk and couldn’t wait to bring up his point to the old man, "Dad, about the investment you mentioned."

The old man chuckled, but his expression was a mix of irony and mild amusement.

Zhou Xueyi didn’t dare make a peep again.

The old man glanced at Zhou Xueyi, thinking that this son of his was becoming more and more inept.

He couldn’t even wait for a little while; he didn’t have the patience to wait.

He was really deflated after the setback from Zhou Shuyan, and it all just went downhill from there.

"It’s like this, I invested in your sister-in-law, let her get into real estate," the old man said, "but I didn’t invest much, just a limited amount of money for her to manage. I want to see what she can do with this investment."

"How much did you invest?" asked Zhou Shuxun curiously.

The old man mentioned a figure.

Zhou Shuxun said, "That’s not a lot. Especially in real estate, it’s a business that burns through cash. Without a good financial foundation, it’s not easy to get involved."

"Grandpa, you’ve really given sister-in-law a tough challenge," Zhou Shuxun said.

The old man nodded, increasingly pleased with Zhou Shuxun, incomparably better than Zhou Xueyi.

"Otherwise, how would it be a test?" the old man explained, "I want to see how Youxi uses these limited investments to yield a return."

Zhou Shuxun nodded and said, "I’ve never paid attention to the real estate sector before. Sister-in-law, have you started working on it?"

Seeing Zhou Xueyi looking anxious on the side, Lu Youxi said, "I’ll explain in detail later."

"Okay," Zhou Shuxun nodded.

The old man then continued talking to Zhou Shuxun, "Your dad thinks it’s a bit unfair that I invested in your sister-in-law and not in you, doing something, and asked me to invest in you too."

Zhou Shuxun: "..."

"Do you have any direction you want to pursue?" the old man asked, "Once you’re sure, give me a detailed plan, and I’ll invest the same amount of money for you."

Zhou Shuxun: "..."

"I really haven’t thought of anything..." Zhou Shuxun said, "I’m currently learning in my dad’s company. I haven’t gotten the hang of things there yet, so thinking about something else doesn’t seem right."

"Right," the old man nodded, "that thinking of yours is pretty good. Don’t rush to bite off more than you can chew. Take it slow."

Zhou Xueyi glared at Zhou Shuxun impatiently.

Was Zhou Shuxun out of his mind?

Such a great opportunity and he was actually declining it, pushing it away.

The old man saw Zhou Xueyi’s reaction but ignored him, continuing to say to Zhou Shuxun, "If you decide later you want to start your own venture, come to me anytime. My investment offer to you is always valid."

Zhou Shuxun smiled and nodded, "Alright. I’ll learn at my dad’s company first, and once I’ve learned something and gained experience, then I’ll start my own business."

Zhou Xueyi: "..."

Is this brat treating his company like a school?

Why does he have to wait until he’s learned everything before leaving to start a business?

Can’t he have both?

He thought Lu Youxi was managing both quite well.

Zhou Shuxun seemed genuinely unconcerned about whether the old man would invest in him and asked how Lu Youxi’s real estate company was doing.

Lu Youxi didn’t hold back and explained everything to Zhou Shuxun in detail.

She could tell that Zhou Shuxun was very different from Zhou Xueyi.

Because this was the first Spring Festival with the old man since Lu Youxi’s marriage to Zhou Shuyan.

It was also the truly first Spring Festival Lu Youxi spent at the Zhou Family after her marriage to Zhou Shuyan.

Thus, Lu Youxi didn’t return to Hexing Village until the second day of the New Year.

On the first day, she and Zhou Shuyan went out to pay New Year visits.

After paying their visits and returning to the Zhou Mansion, they hosted those who came to the mansion to offer New Year greetings themselves.

With the old man present this year, more people than usual came to pay visits.

Early on the second day, Lu Youxi and Zhou Shuyan set off to pick up Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu from the Lu Family, and then they all headed to the airport to return to Hexing Village.

They arrived at Hexing Village around five in the afternoon.

It got dark early in the winter, and by this time, the sky was already growing dim.

Lu Youxi first took some gifts to pay New Year visits to Aunt Lin and the others.

The village chief had returned earlier, so Lu Youxi then went to the village chief’s house specifically to wish him a happy New Year.

Afterward, empty-handed, she and Lu Zhenguo went together to Ge Guifen’s home.

She was quite curious to see how the Lu Family’s elders were faring now.

The Lu Family’s elders, being confined by Ge Guifen in their home, were still alive, but it was unclear how they were really living.
