Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 243 Confession
"And Then There Were None" has already appeared on the list of the Midi Music Festival, but it's in a very early position, at 4: p.m.

The entire music festival is divided into daytime and nighttime sessions. The daytime sessions mostly feature newcomers, while the nighttime sessions are where the country’s big rock stars bring carnival to their fans.

It's actually quite reasonable to put the five-member group at this point in the daytime, but... because it's too hot during the day, there won't be many audiences.

Even if their songs have already gained a certain degree of fame.

But for Lu Yao and his friends, it doesn't really matter. Performing at a rock festival is an obsession of every band. Some bands care about fame, while some bands really need the performance fee of tens of thousands of yuan... But for the five-member group, it's just like Xu Ruochen said, it's not about the time period or whether they like us or not, but about the experience.

Let's experience what a LIVE with tens of thousands of people is like, right?

Therefore, everyone is quite excited about the upcoming 18th.

However, on the 17th, the Lao Lu family was the first to see changes.

Early in the morning, Lu Yao just woke up and walked out of the bedroom, and saw two suitcases.

He was stunned and asked subconsciously:
"Mom, are you going on a business trip?"

"Your dad."

Ms. Chen shook her head:
"Mr. Chen is going on a business trip to Yanjing. It might take a little longer, maybe ten days or half a month."

"..."

Lu Yao suddenly thought of something and nodded:
"Well, I thought you were on a business trip."

"What age am I? Why am I still on a business trip? Besides, what will you do if I go on a business trip?"

Looking at her son who was becoming more and more handsome, Ms. Chen couldn't help but pinch his face:

"Without me, you will starve to death."

"hey-hey……"

Lu Yao laughed dryly twice and then walked into the bathroom.

"Brother Fan, my dad is going on a business trip to Yanjing. Will he come back?"

"Of course you come back. You can't let your family leave all at once, that would be too obvious. You have to do it step by step. You don't have to worry about this, just rest assured."

"…Have you contacted Sister Chu?"

"No, it's not appropriate for her to know these things. We have other channels. Did the twins contact you today?"

"No, I have to go to Midi tomorrow and I'm a little busy. After I finish attending Midi, I will contact them."

"Yeah. Come on! Big star, sing well and don't be stage frightened."

Lu Yao thought to himself that your little mouth is really full of honey.

Soon, Lu Yuanshan left after dinner, and once Ms. Chen's husband left, she completely let herself go:
"Yaoyao, I've put the money on the table for you. Mom is going to play mahjong."

"...Mom, can't your son have a hot meal at home on Saturday?"

"Oh, now you know the family meal is ready? Haven't you been out there like a wild kid since you went to college and been pretty cool?"

Ms. Chen sneered, and Lu Yao looked at the fifty yuan on the table:
"Then you can give me more."

"Fifty dollars isn't enough for you? What do you want to eat? Gold?"

"..."

Lu Yao thought to himself, Mom, you really don’t know how carefree your son is living out there.

The mother and son were chatting happily when suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"coming."

Lu Yao opened the door casually.

At first glance, it was a guy who was riding the wind.

There are two big boxes next to it.

Pretty big.

"...?"

"The recipient is... Lu Yao, right?"

Hearing what the young man said, Lu Yao nodded subconsciously:

"Please sign for your package."

"Uh, okay."

Lu Yao was just wondering what his mother bought and why the box was so big, when he heard her say:
"After signing for the package, please confirm that the contents are intact. These two boxes are insured."

As he spoke, the other party handed over the wallpaper knife.

"Okay, what did you buy, Mom?"

"I didn't buy it."

Ms. Chen also looked puzzled.

At this time, I heard Brother Shunfeng say:
"This is an international shipment, sent by mail from England."

"U.K?"

Lu Yao instantly thought of his girlfriend.

A hint of curiosity also appeared in his heart, but after opening the box, he was speechless...

"This is...clothes?"

Ms. Chen also walked to the door and saw the contents of the two boxes.

Lu Yao picked up the two folded notes on the box.

After opening the first one, I recognized it as my girlfriend's handwriting at a glance:

"Uncle and aunt."

Another note reads:
"Lu Yao."

She really did mail it to me.

"...Okay, I've confirmed it. Thank you."

"I'll help you move in."

"it is good."

Soon, two boxes as big as old-fashioned televisions came into the house.

After the door was closed, Lu Yao took out a... dress.

The clothes were wrapped in plastic and rolled up.

It seemed a little inconspicuous at first, but after taking it out, Lu Yao discovered... it was really layer upon layer.

He looked at the label on the dress: Elie Saab.

"This is... from Xiaoli?"

"Ah."

"…Why are there so many?"

Ms. Chen, who was about to go play mahjong, was speechless. She looked at the clothes rolled up in the box and estimated that there were at least 20 or 30 pieces...

"How would I know."

As Lu Yao spoke, he took it out, thinking of asking his mother to hang it up.

After all, these clothes are quite expensive, and she still has to try them on.

One, two… seven, eight… sixteen… seventeen… twenty-five…

There are 26 pieces of clothing in total.

There are 17 sets for women and 9 sets for men.

Then, under the box, Lu Yao saw a lot of shopping bags.

They're all folded.

Things like LV, Prada, Hermes, etc.... and there was also a silver Hermes bag.

The moment he saw the bag, Lu Yao's mouth twitched...

"mom."

"……what?"

Ms. Chen, who was in a daze, subconsciously looked up and saw her son holding a handbag in his hand.

"…Hermes, Himalaya."

Hearing what her son said, she asked in confusion:
"What do you mean?"

"...Hu Li has this bag, and it cost him over 2.4 million yuan."

"Seize the young master!?"

Ms. Chen felt her blood pressure suddenly rise.

Lu Yao was actually speechless.

If possible, he actually didn't want to tell. But he was afraid that his mother wouldn't know the value of the money and would really take the one or two million away and not treat it as a good thing... In addition, he felt that there were some things that he had to explain to his family.

Today was pure coincidence, but he felt it was almost appropriate.

In fact, he had been thinking recently that his life seemed to have suddenly changed drastically in just a few months.

And this change made him feel absurd and out of control.

When my girlfriend is not around, it seems like... all kinds of monsters and demons come out.

He didn't like this feeling very much.

Besides, he didn't want Hu Li to think too much.

There are always various problems in long-distance relationships, and you need to constantly give each other a sense of security.

He didn't know about the two packages his girlfriend had.

But I can probably understand why she brought so many things here without my knowledge.

owe?

compensate?

Nothing more than that.

Obviously, she also knew that she had been away for a long time.

To put it bluntly, it's the sense of security that's at work.

As for this sense of security...he has been wondering what the two of them should do.

Today's coincidence made him think of a reason that could give the other person peace of mind.

That is...tell your family.

Then give the mother’s feedback back to her.

For a girl with a very traditional personality, this kind of recognition...he feels that his girlfriend really needs it.

And looking at the bag in his hand... when he first heard that this thing could be sold for one or two million, his comment to his girlfriend was:

"You are really stupid and rich."

But now... my girlfriend, who is stupid and rich, threw the bag directly at myself and my mother's face.

I'll be a good boy...

Ms. Chen was speechless for a moment.

Lu Yao carried the two million yuan, turned around, looked at it, and put it on the coffee table.

All of a sudden, Ms. Chen's blood pressure rose again.

How can you put something worth more than two million on our glass coffee table... Does it deserve it?

After putting the bag on top, he began to check his own box.

In fact, they were all clothes. Although there were quite a few of them, they did not take up as much space as women's clothes. Most of them were T-shirts, pants and the like, more than ten pieces in total. There were also four shoe boxes underneath, a pair of leather shoes, a pair of suede outdoor shoes, and two pairs of NIKE sneakers.

However, Lu Yao saw a pair of very familiar shoes.

Nike Air Mag Back to the Future2011.

This year’s new models…a carnival for shoe lovers of the future.

The Back to the Future-themed high-top basketball shoes.

Lu Yao didn’t know how much this thing cost now, but when he went to Yanjing, he passed by a shoe store and saw it in the display cabinet.

The price is 120,000 yuan a pair.

He actually had no feelings for shoes, and he had always wondered since his previous life why someone would collect such industrial products.

I don’t even understand the so-called “shoe speculation”…

But he had indeed seen this pair of oddly shaped basketball shoes, and thanks to his memory, he remembered everything very clearly.

Girlfriend... maybe she wants him to wear these shoes to play basketball?

do not.

Hu Dabao.

If you play basketball with these shoes, you will be retaliated by the shoe fans.

……

As the two boxes of things were picked out, Lu Yao was too lazy to calculate how much they cost.

My intuition told me that these things were worth at least... seven figures. But this was nonsense, after all, there were only one or two hundred in that bag.

But he wasn't surprised.

I already had an intuitive understanding of my girlfriend's financial resources. With this mental preparation, these things are not surprising to me anymore.

Looking at his mother who was looking at the bag in her hand, he thought for a moment and asked "casually":

"Mom, why don't you give it a try? Hu Dabao has always had a good eye."

"..."

Ms. Chen quickly came back to her senses.

His eyes fell on his son.

Suddenly, she discovered a detail...or a change.

My son has changed a lot.

He no longer had the buzz cut he had before, but a new hairstyle... he didn't even know what it was called.

It's longer than a buzz cut, but shorter than the curly hair that kids have.

After grabbing the mousse, it looks neat and handsome.

but……

Ms. Chen tried to connect the son in front of her with the little guy in her heart.

But I found that no matter what, they were completely two different people.

The son who used to carry a schoolbag, wear a red scarf, and like to wear white socks and sandals has long disappeared, and replaced by... a big boy who can be called spirited, whether from a subjective or objective perspective.

It seemed that after a year of college life, my son had grown up...quietly without noticing.

Grown up, mature, and manly.

Even... had a life of his own.

All of a sudden, he changed from the "Yaoyao" who was holding his hand to the adult in front of him.

"..."

Her eyes were dull for a while, but she came back to her senses when Lu Yao called her "Mom".

She put more than two million on the coffee table that she bought for less than three hundred yuan, and looked at her son, and suddenly said:

"Yaoyao, can you tell the truth to mom?"

"……what?"

Seeing Lu Yao's puzzled look, she chose to forget the agreement with her husband that "children should make their own decisions" and asked bluntly:
"What is your relationship with Xiaoli now?"

Straight to the point.

Just one answer.

Lu Yao was stunned.

Looking at my mother's expression, which was exactly the same as when I asked myself whether I had lied in elementary school, I smiled calmly and said:
"We are boyfriend and girlfriend."

Finally, no need to hide anything.

He tells the truth.

Moreover, he knew what his mother wanted to ask, and continued:

"We have been together since September last year. We have a great relationship and have never had a fight. She likes me very much and I like her very much too. We are even planning to get married in the future, but there is no rush in the next two years. We will talk about these things at least after I graduate from college."

"..."

In other words, it's very simple.

But the flow of information hit Ms. Chen's mind like a cannonball.

My son...admitted it.

Although she had seen the signs long ago and chose to keep it to herself, after asking about it and hearing the two of them start dating, Ms. Chen still felt dizzy...

Instinctively came up with a sentence:
"You want their money?"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

Then he smiled and shook his head:
"No, Mom, I'm after her."

After saying that, he suddenly shrugged:

"Of course, if you get people, you get money... Hey, I'm kidding."

Seeing his mother's eyes suddenly widen, he quickly waved his hands to indicate that it was a joke.

Then he continued:

"As for... money, we've actually talked a lot about it. She bought me a lot of things, after all, there's a huge gap in our financial resources. But... if I can do without it, I won't. I know what you're worried about, mom. I can only say that I'm not that dirty. We're together just because we love each other. We don't have any other ideas. And money... isn't really a problem between us, don't feel burdened, mom."

"..."

Ms. Chen was speechless.

He just stared at his son.

After looking at it for a while... he suddenly sighed:
"Ugh……"

"Why are you sighing?"

"Is she... strong?"

"Uh……"

Hearing this, Lu Yao thought about the little woman who was acting coquettishly in his arms...

laughed:

"Ha, don't say you're strong, you're as obedient as a kitten."

"……real?"

"of course it's true."

Lu Yao nodded vigorously:

"She's very gentle and has a very good personality. She's polite, smart, and well-educated... It's not like you haven't come into contact with her before, Mom. Can't you feel it?"

"That's true……"

Ms. Chen nodded subconsciously.

Xiaoli, that child...

There is really nothing wrong with it in every aspect.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that her son would be bullied... or that the other person was secretly mean to her son.

But it is true that Xiaoli is not that kind of person.

Thinking of this, she asked again:

"So what are you two planning for the future?"

"I have thought about it. But I haven't thought that far ahead. I'll wait until I graduate from college. But don't worry about it, mom. We can take care of it ourselves."

Lu Yao didn't tell anyone about his and his girlfriend's plans.

There is no need to say it.

If he really wants to talk about it, he must explain it in detail. The more detailed it is, the harder it will be to explain why he can't go abroad now in terms of his career.

He was not afraid of his mother knowing how good he was.

I’m afraid that she will be frightened after knowing my situation.

Therefore, he knew clearly what to say and what not to say.

Then, he took the initiative to remind:
"Mom, she should have bought you this season's clothes, why don't you try them on?"

"Uh……"

Ms. Chen woke up as if from a dream, and subconsciously said:
"You try it too..."

"I don't have to try it on, she knows my size."

Hearing her son's words, Ms. Chen felt relieved for some reason.

That's it.

Being so considerate, he will definitely be a good person to his son in the future.

But soon I started to feel a little sad again.

It seems like... after someone takes on his own part of the job, although he feels relieved, he feels empty inside, as if something is missing.

Seeing his mother start to daydream again, Lu Yao smiled and pulled her up:

"Okay, mom, your future daughter-in-law bought you so many things just for a compliment from her mother-in-law, didn't she? Go try them on, and then wear your new clothes and carry a bag worth more than two million to show off to the neighbors. I guarantee you will be the most handsome guy at the poker table today!"

"Nonsense!"

Ms. Chen subconsciously rolled her eyes at her son:
"How can you take out such a valuable thing? Also, can you wear the clothes without washing them?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Go and try it, so I can tell her. She will definitely be very happy."

Lu Yao pushed his mother and threw the clothes into the bedroom. It was precisely because of the word "throwing" that Ms. Chen started to roar:

"Be careful, you can't throw something this expensive like that!"

Soon, a long dress was put on Ms. Chen.

She also changed into a pair of wedge-heeled shoes that Lu Yao had bought for over a thousand yuan when she held her graduation banquet, and put on pearl earrings that she rarely wore.

"Son, does it look good?"

She asked expectantly.

"...Sister, who are you?"

"sister!?"

Ms. Chen was speechless.

Then he saw his son nodding his head rapidly:
"Yes, sister, are you 30 years old this year?"

"Hahahaha... Stupid son! You're just talking nonsense!"

Ms. Chen smiled and walked around in front of the mirror:
"You know what... these nice clothes are different. Why do they feel so close to the body... Son, what brand is this?"

"Um...Stella McCartney, Stella McCartney."

"Is it expensive?"

"It's written right on the label, 1850 euros. Eighteen thousand."

"Mom..."

Ms. Chen sighed and walked back to the house.

Soon, the second set came out.

"Son, multiply this price by 10 to get the domestic price?"

"Yes, that's right."

"Oh... this dress costs more than 20,000 yuan..."

"looks good?"

"How can it not look good? Don't you see how much it costs!... Hey, rich people wear this kind of clothes every day, aren't they afraid of scratches and snagging?... Oh, it fits me really well, it's a famous brand after all, look at the tailoring..."

"what."

Lu Yao just smiled and looked at his mother who was smiling all the time.

Listen to her emotions and feel the joy in them.

Then, I sent a message to Hu Li:
"I received the clothes, and my mother tried them on. She liked every piece. I haven't seen her so happy in a long time."

Hu Li didn't reply.

It's just past 9 in the morning, and it's 1 in the morning in London.

She went to bed early.

But who knew that as soon as the message was sent, I received a reply:

"Really? Hahaha... our mom? Did you tell her about us?"

"You have not slept?"

"I'm helping grandma get up at night."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's not hard, hehehe, Auntie likes it very much?"

"Well, I'll tell you in detail when you wake up tomorrow. Go and get some rest."

"it is good."

"Love you."

"I love you too~"
