Rebirth: Starting with 10 Billion Us Dollars

10: Chapter 10 Family ReunionOn the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the scent of the holidays still lingered in the streets and alleys of Dragon Country, but Fetion had already completely taken over everyone’s feeds.

Registering gives 10 free red envelopes, and sharing to your Moments gets you 3 more, with amounts ranging from a minimum of 8.88 yuan to a maximum of 188.88 yuan; every household was busy sending red envelopes to each other and creating groups to grab them in a frenzy.

Just as Chen Mo woke up, he received a message from Zhang Kai:

”Mr. Chen, Fetion users spiked by a hundred million overnight! Should we increase the red envelope pool?”

”Add another 10 billion.”

Chen Mo replied casually and was about to get out of bed when the lively sound of voices came from outside the door.

”Third Brother, Sister-in-law, we’ve come to give you our New Year’s greetings!”

Eldest Uncle’s voice was exceptionally loud.

Chen Mo walked out of the room with a smile and saw Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle, and his Youngest Aunt leading their families, crowded into the living room with fruit and pastries, their faces full of smiles.

In his previous life, when the family was in trouble, these relatives had helped out quite a bit. During the years his parents were paying off debts, Eldest Uncle had even taken the initiative to lend them a lot of money, a kindness Chen Mo had always kept in his heart.

”Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, you’re here!”

Chen Mo hurried forward to greet them.

”Please, sit down. I’ll go pour some tea for you.”

”No need, no need, we’ll do it ourselves!”

Second Uncle waved his hand, his eyes landing on Chen Mo.

”Chen Mo is really successful now, starting a big company and even appearing on the Spring Festival Gala!”

Youngest Aunt also said with a smile:

”Isn’t that the truth? Who in the whole country doesn’t know about Fetion now! My grandson is glued to his phone every day grabbing red envelopes, saying he’s going to buy me a new bracelet!”

Chen Mo’s two paternal cousins, Chen Cheng and Chen Yu, along with his young maternal cousin Lin Xi, had already gathered around the computer. Their eyes lit up when they saw League of Heroes on the screen:

”Brother, you play this too?”

”Let me see! Wow, Brother, you’re Diamond rank! And you even have the Dragon Blind skin!”

Chen Cheng exclaimed.

”I’ve tried drawing it so many times and never got it. You’re too amazing!”

Chen Mo smiled and stepped aside:

”You guys play. I’ll go to the kitchen to see if my mom needs help washing the fruit.”

”Don’t go, don’t go. Let your mother handle it. It’s not often we all get together; stay and chat with us.”

Eldest Uncle pulled him back.

”Your company is so big now; you should look after the younger generation in the family more in the future and let them gain some experience.”

Chen Mo nodded:

”Don’t worry, Eldest Uncle. In the future, if my cousins want to start a business or find a job, as long as they are willing to work hard and have the ability, I will definitely help.”

After chatting for a while, Chen Mo checked the time:

”It’s almost noon, and we haven’t prepared much food at home. I’ve booked a table at the Imperial Grand Hotel; let’s go eat out!”

”Imperial Grand Hotel?”

Fourth Uncle was stunned.

”That place is very expensive; there’s no need to spend so much.”

”It’s rare for the whole family to get together; it’s not a waste of money.”

Chen Mo held up his phone and gestured:

”Everything is booked. We can just head straight there.”

When they arrived at the hotel’s private room and saw the sea cucumbers, abalones, large lobsters, and king crabs being served by the waiters, the relatives felt a bit constrained.

Chen Mo smiled and served the food to everyone:

”Eat up, we’re all family. Don’t be polite.”

Eldest Uncle picked up a piece of lobster meat and said emotionally:

”Third Brother, we’re happy for you now that your life has improved. Thinking back to those years when you were paying off debts, it really wasn’t easy.”

Chen Dad sighed:

”That’s all in the past now. It’s all thanks to your help.”

”Why talk about that? We’re family!”

Second Uncle interrupted him.

”Chen Mo is capable now, and we’re benefiting from it too. But don’t work too hard; your health is what matters.”

Chen Mo’s heart felt warm as he raised his glass:

”Thank you for your concern, elders. Let me propose a toast to everyone. Let’s get together often from now on. If you ever want to visit Magic City, I’ll arrange everything for you.”

”Good! Good!”

The relatives all raised their glasses, and the private room was filled with laughter and joy.

After dinner, they returned home. Chen Cheng and Chen Yu pulled Chen Mo aside to ask for gaming tips, while Lin Xi pestered him about interesting things in Magic City. The living room was bustling with activity.

Chen Mo answered patiently. Seeing his relatives getting along so harmoniously, his heart was full of peace.

For the next month or so, Chen Mo was in no hurry to return to Magic City. Instead, he took his parents and relatives to look at houses in the city.

He wanted his parents to move to the city, where the environment was better and it would be more convenient for medical care and shopping.

”Chen Mo, these houses are too expensive. Living in our hometown is fine.”

His mother hesitated.

”Mom, money isn’t an issue. As long as you’re comfortable living here, that’s all that matters.”

Chen Mo said with a smile.

”It will also be more convenient for relatives to visit in the future.”

Eldest Uncle chimed in:

”Sister-in-law, this is Chen Mo’s filial piety; just accept it. We’ll be able to visit you more often in the future too.”

In the end, Chen Mo chose a villa with a courtyard. After completing the paperwork and preparing a gift for each relative’s family, he got ready to return to Magic City.

During his time at home, he also drew two more skills.

”Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing the Grandmaster-level Combat Skill!”

”Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing the Grandmaster-level Firearms Skill!”

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

These two skills were quite practical and would provide an extra layer of security when he went out in the future.

He quietly tested them out and found that his physical fitness and reaction speed had improved significantly. He could punch through a wooden board with a light strike, which secretly surprised him.

After saying goodbye to his parents and relatives, Chen Mo set off on the road back to Magic City.
