Chapter 215: Chapter 215: After suffering a lifeti in Hexing Village, isn’t it ti to enjoy so fortune in the Imperial Capital? “No other daughter-in-law is disrespectful like you!” Old Madam Lu couldn’t tolerate Ge Guifen’s insolence, “Once Zhenjia gets out, I’ll have him teach you a lesson!”
Ge Guifen snorted dismissively, by the ti Lu Zhenjia gets out, you two old fools would be dead for all I know!
“Hello!” Ge Guifen picked up the phone and answered irritably.
“Mom, it’s .”
Hearing Lu Youbang’s voice, Ge Guifen imdiately switched her attitude, joyously exclaiming, “Youbang! What’s up? Is there anything urgent?”
Hearing Ge Guifen’s shout, the Lu Family’s elders, fond of their grandson, were suddenly not too lazy to move. They quickly entered the room, “It’s Youbang calling?”
“Put it on speaker, let’s all listen!” Old Madam Lu yelled.
Ge Guifen reluctantly grimaced, complaining inwardly.
Lu Youbang, upon hearing Old Madam Lu’s shout, said to Ge Guifen, “Mom, put it on speaker, I need to discuss this matter with Grandpa and Grandma too.”
“Fine.” Ge Guifen agreed reluctantly and turned on the speaker before setting the phone back down.
“Youbang!” Old Madam Lu hastily called out.
“Grandpa and Grandma.” Lu Youbang, mindful of his long-distance call charges, hurriedly said, “Lu Youxi has opened an internet cafe in the Imperial Capital.”
“What?” The three mbers of the Lu Family exclaid in unison.
Ge Guifen asked, “She has the money to open an internet cafe?”
Old Madam Lu wondered, “Where did she get the money for that?”
Old Master Lu questioned, “How does she have so much money?”
Lu Youbang explained, “Have you thought about when Lu Youxi ca back to the village during National Day and said she took out a loan?”
“I rember,” Old Madam Lu interjected.
“I think she took out that loan to open the internet cafe,” Lu Youbang analyzed.
“Huh!” Ge Guifen sneered, full of malice, “She’s got so nerve. Dad’s right, with her guts, she’s bound to lose everything. Her, running an internet cafe? It’ll bankrupt her!”
Lu Youbang pursed his lips, saying, “I secretly checked it out today, and their business is doing very well. The promotional period has ended, and they’ve returned to regular pricing, but the place is still packed. When I was sneakily watching, several custors ca and had to leave because there were no seats available.”
What Lu Youbang didn’t know was that the internet cafe’s success was not only due to the top-notch equipnt in the current market.
With fast performance and no lag playing major gas, it never let the players down.
Additionally, Liu Yushu’s boxed lunches were truly delicious—not only ho-style and nutritious with a balanced mix of at and vegetables, but also affordable.
The sa als would cost fifty or sixty yuan at an ordinary diner.
Yet at the internet cafe, one could have it for just eight yuan.
Not to ntion they were also tasty, all personally selected and purchased at the market by Liu Yushu herself—clean, hygienic, and safe.
The fact that the internet cafe offered als allowed custors even more ti for internet use.
Not to ntion the VIP rooms on the upper floor, where those with plenty of money found even more comfort.
And Lu Zhenguo cleaned with such dedication that the bed sheets in the upstairs rooms were changed daily.
Downstairs, where many custors smoked, not even a speck of ash could be seen on the tables in the smoking area, all thanks to Lu Zhenguo’s diligent cleaning.
It was one of the rare internet cafes where one could surf the web in such comfort.
And then there was sothing else, sothing that Lu Youbang could never have imagined.
That is, the network managers of the cafe were a highly talented student from Jing University and a tech whiz who could develop software on his own.
This had beco quite a talking point among the cafe’s clientele.
Many ca just because of the reputation.
The high operating speed of the computers in the cafe was also thanks to the routine maintenance by Ji Deyi and Pei Jingyuan.
Lu Youbang only saw the thriving business of the cafe, without considering the reasons behind its success.
“Not only that, but my uncle and aunt also work at the cafe,” Lu Youbang said. “My uncle takes care of the cleanliness and order, while my aunt handles the cooking.”
“Cooking? What is there to cook at an internet cafe? als for the staff?” Ge Guifen inquired.
Lu Youbang explained, “She cooks for the custors of the cafe. Custors pay and can eat right there while surfing the web without having to leave their computers. It’s very convenient.”
Ge Guifen pouted, “Can they really make money from that?”
“Judging by the hot business of the cafe now, they definitely make quite a bit,” Lu Youbang knew that they must not yet be earning money and whether they had even recouped their investnt was unclear.
However, in order to kindle the fighting spirit of the Lu Family’s elders and Ge Guifen, he had to say they were already making money.
“Plus, guess what? I found out where my uncle’s family lives,” said Lu Youbang.
“Where do they live?!” The very ntion perked up Old Madam Lu and Old Master Lu.
They could never forget being abandoned by Lu Zhenguo’s family at Jing University, unable to find them.
Even now, every ti they thought about it, the older Lu couple still seethed with rage.
“They live in the residential complex where the cafe’s storefront is located,” Lu Youbang revealed. “But I didn’t follow them inside; I was afraid of being discovered. Yet, I now know which complex they live in.”
“Grandparents, didn’t you want to go and make a scene at my uncle’s place?” Lu Youbang said. “Previously, we didn’t know where they were, but now we do.”
“Furthermore, I’ve thought it over carefully. When you ca to the Imperial Capital before, my uncle’s family sneakily left, leaving you nowhere to stay. They might have already been living in that complex at the ti. Otherwise, staying in a hotel in the Imperial Capital every day would be too expensive, plus it’s not easy to rent a place just like that.”
“They returned to Hexing Village for the National Day holiday and soon after moved to the Imperial Capital; they must have had the apartnt rented out well in advance. And during National Day, Lu Youxi was with my uncle’s family when they went back to Hexing Village—there’s no way they would have waited until then to rent a place.”
“Grandparents, it looks like, when you ca to the Imperial Capital before, my uncle’s family already had their own place to stay but didn’t care if you had anywhere to stay or not,” said Lu Youbang.
Lu Youbang’s words imdiately stoked the flas of anger in the Lu Family’s elders.
“That wretched lot!” Old Madam Lu slapped her thigh and howled, “Never did I imagine that after raising him from a baby, he would secretly have his own place in the Imperial Capital and not care whether we had anywhere to live, leaving us to sleep on the streets!”
“Grandma, it’s not just Uncle who’s unfilial. Lu Youxi has opened an internet cafe and made money; the talk of loans earlier was just to scare you,” Lu Youbang said. “They took out loans, sure, but given how well the business is doing, repaying the loans would be a matter of minutes.”
“You go to the Imperial Capital and confront my uncle. Then our whole family will be in the Imperial Capital, and it’ll be convenient for to visit you, without the need to take so many train rides back to Hexing Village,” Lu Youbang went on. “Besides, you’ve had a hard life in Hexing Village; isn’t it ti you enjoyed so comfort in the Imperial Capital?”
