My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 508: The Upstart Prevails, The Poor Suddenly Rich

Chapter 508: Chapter 508: The Upstart Prevails, The Poor Suddenly Rich

Ge Guifen also benefited from the arrangement, and these past few days she had been eating quite a bit.

Having only eaten like this for a few days, Lu Youbang noticed Ge Guifen’s complexion had turned rosy and her face was shining with oil.

Lu Youbang had specifically arranged for a taxi from Hetai Town to come pick them up and go directly to Fengnan City.

Because Lu Youzhen was pregnant, it wasn’t suitable for her to shuttle back and forth and endure the jostling of changing vehicles.

Taking a taxi from Hexing Village to Fengnan City was costly, and that included some compensation for the driver’s return trip while empty.

Otherwise, the driver wouldn’t have agreed to come to Hexing Village to fetch them.

Although it was quite expensive, it was genuinely comfortable.

Lu Youbang thought to himself that he finally understood the joy of being rich.

Even though Huang Mengyao’s family wasn’t poorly off, she had never spent like this when he was with her.

Even Huang Mengyao would find it expensive.

Lu Youbang looked at Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu with a sense of pride.

So what if Lu Youxi made some money?

Hadn’t she still neglected them?

Did they expect to wait for the bus at the village entrance and then take it to Hetai Town, before changing to another bus to Fengnan City?

Lu Youzhen arrived with empty hands, not even bothering to open the car door herself.

Without any complaint, Lu Youbang placed the luggage in the taxi’s trunk and then ran over to open the car door for Lu Youzhen.

Lu Youzhen truly felt like she was about to live the life of a young madam from a wealthy family.

She sat in the car with a proud expression, waiting for Lu Youbang to close the door for her.

Lu Youzhen rolled down the car window.

At that time, most taxi windows still had to be manually rolled down.

Lu Youxi turned her head to look at Lu Zhenguo and the others and smiled smugly, "Uncle, Auntie, hasn’t Lu Youzhen’s husband arranged a car to take you to the airport?"

Lu Youbang, who had yet to get in the car, heard this and commented, "That’s too expensive. Although Lu Youxi earns money, her husband doesn’t earn much, and they wouldn’t be willing to spend like that."

"Even the taxi I booked for you had to travel empty from Hetai Town, drive us to Fengnan City, and then travel back empty. They charge for the empty trips too," Lu Youbang said. "Ordinary folks wouldn’t be willing to spend like that."

"So Uncle and Auntie, you’ll have to lug your luggage and take the bus to Hetai Town, then switch to another bus to Fengnan City. That’s such a hassle and so tiring," Lu Youzhen scoffed disdainfully.

"Do you think everyone can be as lucky as you?" Lu Youbang finished speaking, turned around, and waved at Lu Zhenguo and Liu Yushu, "Uncle, Auntie, we’re heading off first."

After finishing his words, Lu Youbang walked to the other side of the car, got in, and told the driver to leave.

"See, it’s good to be rich," Lu Youbang said from the back seat to Lu Youzhen beside him.

"Of course, why else would I try so hard to marry into the Lin Family?" Lu Youzhen laughed. "A real wealthy family is different from the small business owners like Lu Youxi."

"I’m not even married in yet, and Lin Jingshen already gives me so much money each month," Lu Youzhen said. "Once I marry into the Lin family, I’ll have a personal driver and car. When I go out, a driver will open my door and carry my bag. Then, I won’t have to bother booking taxis anymore."

"Yeah," Lu Youbang nodded, already beginning to enjoy such a lifestyle.

"Speaking of which, Lu Youxi seems to be doing a lot of business—the Little Pink Book, Hexing Rice, and Youshu Real Estate, running three companies. It looks impressive on the surface, but in reality, they’re probably small ventures, not making much profit. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had Uncle and Auntie waiting at the bus stop in our village, transferring buses several times on the way back to the Imperial Capital."

"I suppose so," agreed Lu Youbang. "At first, I thought Lu Youxi’s businesses must be pretty significant, with three companies and all. But now it seems that having multiple companies doesn’t necessarily mean earning a lot."

"Besides, didn’t she recently start Youshu Real Estate?" Lu Youzhen said. "I heard from Lin Jingshen that real estate isn’t a small investment; it’s not something a small business owner like her could handle. Buying land, building houses—it burns a lot of money. And that doesn’t even include the cost of hiring workers and smoothing things over everywhere."

"Even after the buildings are constructed, you have to be able to sell them. Before they’re sold, it’s all about pouring your own money into them," Lu Youzhen said. "Without significant capital, you wouldn’t dare touch real estate."

"It’s just Lu Youxi, who knows nothing, yet dares to rush into the real estate industry. We didn’t know before; we thought she was so capable just because she had a real estate company," Lu Youzhen said. "Later, Lin Jingshen told me that Lu Youxi’s company was just for show."

"In fact, her little bit of money is not enough to enter real estate. She went to bid on land once, and the plot she got was in a particularly remote location. Because she didn’t have enough money to bid on better-located land, she could only afford those particularly isolated lots that nobody else wanted to bid on. It might look cheap, but even if she bought it and spent money to construct on it, it’s useless if she can’t sell. In the end, she might end up in such loss that even selling herself could not cover it."

"That plot of land is so remote, what can she do with it? Building residential houses in that location, which is inconvenient for living—who’s going to buy?" Lu Youzhen said.

"So, according to you, Lu Youxi must have invested all her money into real estate," Lu Youbang analyzed, thinking himself clever. "That’s why she has no money on hand now, only looking glamorous on the surface but actually unable to afford a taxi."

"Exactly," Lu Youzhen said with pride.

Lu Youbang leaned back comfortably in his seat, remarking, "I’m finally experiencing the life of the rich."

"This is only the beginning," said Lu Youzhen, who looked down on Lu Youbang’s lack of sophistication. "You’re calling this the life of the rich? Wait until I marry into the Lin Family. When you do business, live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, have drivers, and maids—that’s the life of the rich."

"Have you not seen it? When Lin Jingshen goes out, he has a driver shuttle him, and when he goes to KTVs, he treats everyone, spending tens of thousands each time," Lu Youzhen said. "That’s the life of the rich."

Lu Youbang looked down at Lu Youzhen’s belly, "This time, it’s all on you. You have to do well."

Lu Zhenguo watched, speechless, as the taxi carrying Lu Youbang and Lu Youzhen drove away.

He then turned to look at Liu Yushu, Grandma Xu, and the village chief.

Grandma Xu had a look of "Are they alright?" on her face.

Obviously, they were all made speechless by Lu Youbang and Lu Youzhen.

The village chief snorted, "Lu Youbang is supposedly an educated man, a high achiever; how is it he can be so frivolous?"

Grandma Xu shook her head and said: "Upstarts, the nouveau riche."

After speaking, Grandma Xu remembered that Lu Zhenguo was there.

Usually, when Lu Zhenguo wasn’t in the little diner, she had no qualms chatting with Liu Yushu, having grown used to it.
