Dream Capture: I Can See Through All Secrets!

76: 76. Parents are shockedAfter the arrangements were settled, Lu Feng handed over the specific execution to Yu Tianxiong.

For this former business magnate who started from scratch and fought his way to the top, forming a company was naturally a basic task he could handle with ease.

After seeing Yu Tianxiong off, Lu Feng stretched, planning to go downstairs to familiarize himself with the environment. He had arrived in a hurry last night and hadn’t had a chance to properly explore this luxury residential area, which was known as Jiangcheng’s most exclusive.

As he reached the entrance, his phone suddenly rang with a video call notification; it was his mother.

The moment the screen lit up, Lu Xiaoli and Lu Zezhou’s smiling faces appeared.

His mother’s eyes held unconcealable concern, and his father’s complexion looked much better than the last time they met.

”Son, how have you been these past few days? Have you taken care of things?” his mother’s voice came through the speaker.

Lu Feng smiled and said, ”It’s all taken care of.”

He had previously told his parents that he had matters to attend to in Jiangcheng, but he had neglected to call them for so many days.

”That’s good. Oh, where are you? Is that a hotel?”

”No, I was going to give you a surprise, but since you’ve found out, I’ll tell you now. This is your son’s new house.”

As Lu Feng spoke, he walked around the house with his phone, the camera sweeping across the six-meter-high living room, the imported marble floor so polished it reflected like a mirror, and the panoramic river view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

”Ah, ah? Did I hear that right? Son said this is his house?”

His mother gasped, her hand unconsciously covering her mouth, while his father abruptly leaned closer to the screen, his eyes behind his glasses wide with disbelief.

”Yes, I just got it.”

”Hiss, hiss, hiss... How much must this cost?” Although the older couple had limited experience, they could tell that such a house was definitely not cheap, especially since it was in Jiangcheng, a first-tier city, not their eighteenth-tier Xinghai City.

Lu Feng smiled, ”You two don’t need to worry about money. In a few days, I’ll come pick you up to stay for a while and enjoy a life of ease.”

His parents had been toiling their whole lives. Now that conditions were better, Lu Feng naturally wanted them to live a good life.

Lu Xiaoli hesitated, then finally couldn’t help but advise, ”Son, I know you’ve become successful, but you should still save where you can... Save more money for future needs.”

Lu Feng felt a warmth in his heart. The older generation was like that; having lived through hard times, they had a strong sense of crisis, and even with money, they still thought about living frugally.

While chatting, Lu Feng suddenly noticed a brand new handicraft on the table behind his parents and casually asked a few questions.

Lu Zezhou explained, ”Your elder uncle brought it. He came to see us a while ago and brought some gifts, saying something about ’it’s better to resolve enmity than to keep it.’”

Lu Feng frowned slightly, ”Elder uncle? Is he that kind?”

It wasn’t that Lu Feng couldn’t appreciate a prodigal son’s return, but this elder uncle, who wouldn’t even part with the one hundred thousand yuan he owed when his brother was seriously ill and needed life-saving money—it would be strange if he were that kind.

”A weasel paying respects to a chicken...” Lu Xiaoli pursed her lips and said, ”He shamelessly showed up at our door and wouldn’t leave.”

Lu Feng shook his head. Anyway, he was going back in a couple of days, and then he would see what tricks he was up to.

After hanging up the phone, he suddenly saw a series of message notifications from his class group chat. He curiously opened it and found that the class monitor was organizing a graduation party.

”We’re all going our separate ways soon, and who knows if we’ll ever get a chance to meet again. Let’s all get together tonight @everyone.”

”The class monitor is right!! I’ll definitely be there! Oh, and don’t forget Teacher Zhou; she’s put in so much effort for our class today.”

”I’ll call her to contact her. By the way, @Lu Feng, you’re coming too, right?”

As a legendary figure in the class, who could score such high marks while working on a construction site, he was already considered a brilliant person in the eyes of his classmates.

The chat interface suddenly went quiet for a few seconds; everyone seemed to be waiting for his reply.

Lu Feng thought for a moment. He didn’t have anything planned for today anyway, so he might as well go. He quickly replied, ”Okay, I’ll be there.”

The atmosphere in the group chat became lively again:

”Hahaha, Scholar Lu is coming! We’ll definitely bask in his glory tonight.”

”We absolutely must get to know Student Lu again and ask him for study tips.”

”I must have a drink with you tonight!”

”...”

Lu Feng smiled, replied a few times, put down his phone, and went downstairs.

It had to be said, the environment of a luxury residence was truly different, completely incomparable to an ordinary residential area. Precious tree species were artfully arranged, artificial streams meandered through, and even the leisure benches were crafted from imported teak.

Sitting by the landscape pond, he could even spot several well-known figures from Jiangcheng’s business circles among the passersby.

”Oh, are you... Lu Feng, the young man Chairwoman Xu Ting brought to the entrepreneur salon before?” a slightly surprised voice came from behind him.

Hearing someone call him, Lu Feng turned around and saw a middle-aged man approaching with a big smile, accompanied by a saleslady in uniform.

After a moment’s thought, he recalled that the man seemed to be Lin Yansheng, the chain restaurant owner who had desperately tried to curry favor with Xu Ting at the last entrepreneur salon.

”That’s me, Mr. Lin has a good memory,” Lu Feng said politely.

Lin Yansheng’s smile widened when he saw he hadn’t mistaken him, and he eagerly stepped closer, ”I didn’t expect to meet you here! I came to look at houses today; the prices here are truly exorbitant, one floor costs...”

”Fifty-eight million starting.”

The saleslady interjected appropriately, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, ”Although it’s expensive, there’s a reason for the price. Living here is like being in a top-tier high society circle. Residents include artists, entrepreneurs... all are elites from various fields, even Chairwoman Xu of Donghai Group...”

”Which building does Chairwoman Xu live in?” Lin Yansheng’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly interrupted.

He owned restaurants, but his recent development had hit a bottleneck, and he was racking his brains trying to get on board with the Donghai Group.

The saleslady smiled mysteriously, ”Building C, the King of Buildings. The unit price has already risen to three hundred thousand per square meter.”

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow at this, ”Sister Xu told me it was two hundred thousand.”

The saleslady explained, ”Chairwoman Xu probably hasn’t paid attention to house prices for a long time; the price was just adjusted last month.”

Lin Yansheng awkwardly wiped the sweat from his forehead, then curiously scrutinized Lu Feng, ”Which building does Mr. Lu live in?”

The saleslady also cast an inquiring gaze; she had no impression of such a young owner.

Lu Feng shook his head and chuckled, ”I didn’t buy it. Sister Xu gave me the top floor of Building C yesterday.”

”Top, top floor?!”

The saleslady gasped instantly. That was Chairwoman Xu’s prized property, the King of Kings of all buildings on Banshan East Road!

Lin Yansheng was also dumbfounded. It seemed this young man must have a very good relationship with Chairwoman Xu.

Lu Feng suddenly remembered something and asked, ”Speaking of which, I don’t seem to have registered my resident information yet. Do you know where the property management office is?”

The saleslady swallowed, pointed in a direction, and then Lu Feng bid farewell to the two and left.

Lin Yansheng recovered from his stunned state, looking at Lu Feng’s receding back and muttering to himself, ”I must build a good relationship with him if I get the chance in the future!”
