Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

GG is nothing special, but the actress is quite something. She's supposedly from Taiwan, which makes Lu Yuan particularly concerned.

Then, recalling Boss Niu's tone of voice, he immediately realized that the part he had felt was off was the one he had taken.

This Mr. Niu was originally from Taiwan, then went to Hong Kong to develop his career. Now that he sees great potential in mainland China, he has come to Shanghai.

Lu Yuan didn't like watching the news before, but that doesn't mean he was ignorant. He was quite aware of some major events happening in Shanghai.

The thing that impressed him the most was a big boss who was cheated out of two million.

What made it so memorable, besides the fact that everyone in the mahjong parlor was discussing it during that period, was another point that left a deep impression.

That guy used to live in a hotel on Xijing Road.

He deceived at least two out-of-town businessmen, using his distinctive accent to claim he was a big businessman with partnerships and hoping to attract investment.

They use this to swindle money, then take the money and run away.

In this era where there are no surveillance cameras on the streets and you can even climb onto a train, running away is equivalent to disappearing completely.

It wasn't until ten years later that he reappeared, this time because he hadn't paid the taxi driver enough money, and the driver had called the police.

As a result, the boss was immediately arrested and taken away.

It was only after the police investigated that they discovered he was a fraudster, and that's how he was caught.

Lu Yuan remembers that at that time, everyone on the street said he was a fool, that he had ruined the rest of his life for a few dozen yuan in bus fare.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this Boss Niu should be the big boss who was scammed. It seems I need to find an opportunity to make contact with him."

Lu Yuan frowned slightly as he thought about this. This was just his original plan, but he still needed to think about how to proceed.

According to his recollection, Boss Niu was scammed around September, but he's here now in August.

Given his previous interactions with Qi Qiang, it's not fair to say that Qi Qiang was the one who lied to him, is it?

Thinking about this, Lu Yuan felt it was necessary to have more contact with the other party. If it was really as he guessed, then he would have to remind him more.

Back home, Lu Zhaocai didn't go to sleep. Instead, he glanced at Lu Yuan and asked him with some curiosity.

"My son came home a little late today."

"I went to see a friend, which took up a little time."

Lu Yuan glanced at Lu Zhaocai and spoke in an annoyed tone.

"I don't even need to step on you to tell that you must have made my mom angry again, otherwise why would she let you sleep on the sofa?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't you know who's in charge in this family? Your mother just gave me a task."

Lu Zhaocai quickly spat twice, made a rather serious gesture, and then continued speaking.

"I haven't played any cards during this time. Your mother is right. You're different now than before. Business has finally started to pick up, so don't let me hold you back."

"Isn't it nighttime now?"

Looking at the person in front of him, Lu Yuan turned his head and glanced outside.

Then Lu Zhaocai, who was standing in front of him, looked at his son speechlessly and sighed.

"I discussed it with your mother, and your shop is doing quite well now. This mahjong shop has been open for so many years, but we're only making a little money."

"I would support you if you wanted to open a mahjong parlor again, but I think just having a mahjong parlor is a bit too monotonous. Have you considered opening a bathhouse?"

Seeing his father's hesitant expression, Lu Yuan knew what his father was thinking. He looked at the person in front of him and spoke with some difficulty.

"It's one of those large entertainment venues with several floors. I happen to have some money on hand right now, so I can sponsor you."

"Stop!"

At first, Lu Zhaocai thought it was normal, but after hearing the rest, he realized something was wrong.

It seems my son has misunderstood something.

He couldn't let his son's important matter be delayed like this, so he quickly coughed lightly, looked at the person in front of him, and said in a serious tone.

"It's not what you think. I'm an adult now, there's no need for me to take such a gamble. On the contrary, you're still young. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask. I'm thinking of closing this mahjong parlor to help you out, it's also your mother's idea."

Lu Zhaocai was worried that Lu Yuan might not agree to this, so he spoke up in a serious tone.

After he finished speaking, Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly. After a brief silence, he finally spoke.

"Who said that?"

"I……"

Lu Zhao patted his chest, trying to persuade Lu Yuan in this way. After seeing Lu Yuan's eyes, he lowered his head and admitted it aloud.

"Actually, it was your mom's idea too. Seeing how tired you are every day, we always wanted to do something for you."

"Dad, you've done so much for me. As parents, we can't always think about our children. We have to let our children have their own ideas."

Lu Yuan smiled and patted Lu Zhaocai on the shoulder.

"Besides, I don't feel tired at all now; on the contrary, I quite like it."

"Although our mahjong parlor doesn't make money, it's a place where neighbors chat. If you close it down, where will those neighbors go to chat in the future?"

Lu Yuan still remembers that after his parents closed the mahjong parlor in his previous life, for many years some old people kept talking about wanting to go and see the mahjong parlor.

Many people eventually ran out of things to do and gradually lost their topics of conversation.

It's also a great pity for the community.

When Lu Zhaocai heard him say this, he nodded and thought what he said made a lot of sense.

"I think you're right, that's what I think too, but your mother is still worried about you."

Don't worry.

Lu Yuan patted his chest and said with a smile.

"I'm not a child anymore."

"Um."

Lu Zhaocai nodded and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eye.

Lu Yuan is only twenty years old now, but he seems to have grown up all of a sudden.

Without realizing it, he felt that his son had changed and no longer needed his protection.

Lu Yuan sat down next to his father, picked up an orange from the table and started peeling it. He looked at his father with a smile and asked him a question.

"By the way, what do you think of that thing I just mentioned? I'm still very optimistic about the future of bathhouses."

"Never mind."

Lu Zhaocai shook his head repeatedly when he thought about those things.

"At my age, I should be at home taking care of my grandchildren, why would I want to start a business!"

"I'm going to sleep."
