Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Zhou Xianjun thought to herself that even Chen Zhou didn't know the exact amount of money her family owed!

How could Xia Yu know so much?

Xia Yu was honest and well-behaved. "My mother told me."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianjun was shocked and stood up abruptly.

This girl's mother even knows this?

Could it be that her mother investigated our family thoroughly?

Uh……

"How did your mother know this?" Zhou Xianjun asked in surprise.

Xia Yu thought about it carefully for a moment, then gently shook her head.

"I...I don't know either."

"But, Auntie, these things are not important."

"The important thing is that I don't care how much money Chen Zhou and your family owe."

"As long as I can be with Chen Zhou, I don't care about anything else. I'm willing to face everything with him."

"We're together when we're rich, we're together when we're poor, we're together in happiness, we're together in hardship..."

"I just want to be with Chen Zhou forever."

"real!"

Xia Yu's delicate, jade-like face was very serious.

Xu Lele sighed deeply.

As if playing the straight man in a comedy duo, she leisurely recited a poem: "What is love in this world? That it makes people willing to die for it!"

Xu Lele had only heard of such love before, but had never seen it, but now she had witnessed it firsthand.

And the person involved was her best friend!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianjun froze, as if she were a stone statue.

She doesn't know the rest yet, but one thing is certain.

She knew that the girl Xia Yu before her was real...

Love! Infatuation! Brainwashing!!

Even though he was a son and the girl was a hopeless romantic, he felt like he had gotten a huge advantage.

But her conscience told her that the kindest and purest girl was, the less she should let her family hold her back.

For a moment, Zhou Xianjun didn't know how to chat with Xia Yu.

She hesitated several times before speaking.

What should we talk about?

awkward!

Finally, Zhou Xianjun remembered that Xia Yu had said that Chen Zhou had made a lot of money and was able to pay off all of his family's debts.

What does this mean?

What part-time job did Chen Zhou do at school?

Zhou Xianjun asked, "Um, Xiaoyu, what you just said...?"

But before he could finish speaking, the door creaked open.

The three people in the living room all turned their gazes toward it.

What caught my eye was Chen Zhou's tall and handsome figure.

Xia Yu happily got up and jogged over.

Chen Zhou stood in the entryway, opened his arms, and pulled Xia Xiaomiao into his embrace.

Hearing Xia Xiaomiao's aggrieved yet coquettish "Chen Zhou~", Chen Zhou felt completely melted.

He smiled and gently patted Xia Yu's back.

Chen Zhou said gently, "Little rascal, I heard you cried again?"

Xia Xiaomiao first shook her head and said "no", then she nodded and gave a simple "hmm".

Chen Zhou smiled indulgently, "It's okay, I'm back anyway, I'm here."

"Don't cry, and you don't need to cry, understand?"

"Mmm!" Xia Xiaomiao nodded obediently and happily.

"Chen Zhou~, I know."

Chen Zhou smiled, then turned his gaze to his mother in the living room.

Unlike his mother, who hadn't seen him for several months, Chen Zhou hadn't seen his mother for over a decade.

Despite being mentally prepared, Chen Zhou still couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she saw her mother's face from her memories.

Her eyes were also slightly red.

I love you, Mom!

But Chen Zhou did not show any unusual behavior as much as possible.

He chuckled lightly, "Mom, why did you and Dad suddenly come back?"

"Are you missing me?"

Zhou Xianjun said "Uh," and added, "That's part of the reason, but not much."

"Hehe." Zhou Xianjun raised an eyebrow.

Chen Zhou: ? ? ?

"Then why did you suddenly come back?"

Chen Zhou slowly released his embrace from Xia Xiaomiao and led her toward his mother.

Zhou Xianjun explained, "A few days ago, your grandfather fell ill and was hospitalized again. When your father found out, he was worried and rushed back from out of town."

Chen Zhou asked in surprise, "Grandpa is sick again? And hospitalized again?"

Zhou Xianjun sighed and said, "Yes, I don't know what happened, but your grandfather's health has been poor in the second half of this year, and he has to be hospitalized once a month."

"Your father is a very filial son, so he had no choice but to come back."

Hearing his mother say this, Chen Zhou suddenly remembered that in his previous life, his father jumped off a building due to unbearable debt pressure, and his mother died of depression.

In the same year, my grandfather also passed away.

Even her grandfather passed away earlier than her mother, so to speak, he followed her father closely.

At the time, Chen Zhou thought that his grandfather's health had suddenly collapsed because he couldn't bear the blow of losing his son and was also old.

It seems there might be a discrepancy between what I know and the truth of the matter!

No!

Grandpa needs to go to a reputable top-tier hospital for a full physical examination!

Chen Zhou was pondering it seriously.

Zhou Xianjun asked, "By the way, son, what did Miss Xiaoyu mean when she said you made a lot of money?"

Chen Zhou said "Oh," came back to his senses, smiled, and was about to speak.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, his father, Chen Chongli, also returned from outside.

He was extremely embarrassed, complaining and grumbling, "When I went to buy groceries, I realized I was in such a hurry that I didn't bring any money! I'm so embarrassed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Zhou in the living room.

Chen Zhou also turned his gaze to his father.

When he was young, Chen Zhou always felt that his family's misfortunes were all because his father made reckless investments, squandered the family fortune, incurred huge debts, lost his life, and left the family destitute and broken.

But along the way, we've weathered many storms.

With a mature soul, Chen Zhou has come to understand that his father's original intention was good. He had worked very hard to support the family and provide them with a better life.

Chen Zhou understood how heavy the responsibility and pressure on his father's shoulders were!

My dad was just unlucky; he ran into the 2008 global financial crisis.

In addition, my father has a serious lack of risk control awareness.

This led to the tragedy in the previous life.

In short, it's not his fault at all!

On the contrary, Chen Zhou still deeply respects his father, who is the pillar of the family.

Chen Zhou smiled with relief and said, "Dad, you're still as handsome as I remember."

Chen Chongli: ? ? ?

He looked completely bewildered, then said seriously, "Stop talking nonsense, brat!"

"I have something to tell you!"

Chen Chongli must make things clear to his son about dating.

Their family absolutely cannot hold others back!

Chen Zhou then chimed in, "Perfect timing, I also have something to tell you and Mom."

Chen Chongli asked curiously, "What are you going to say?"

What I want to say is...

Chen Zhou smiled, put his hands in his pockets, and said smugly, "I'm rich now!"

"I'm a multi-millionaire, and I'm coming clean!"

Chen Zhou was still underestimating the situation.

After all, Fruit Ninja can bring him hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue every year.

He hasn't even calculated the company's valuation by discounting future cash flows yet!

"???"

Upon hearing this, Chen Chongli was completely dumbfounded!

Is this kid delirious from the fever?

You left him at home for half a year, and now he's completely lost his mind?

After chatting with Xia Yu, Zhou Xianjun learned a little more about her.

She asked with concern, "Son, did you win the lottery?"

"You won the first prize? How much did you win?"

This was the only plausible explanation Zhou Xianjun could think of if her son wasn't lying.

Chen Zhou said, "I don't have that luck."

Zhou Xianjun asked in confusion, "Then how could you possibly earn so much money? And you even claim to be a multi-millionaire?"

Chen Chongli frowned and said, "You actually believe Chen Zhou's boasting?"

"Honey, why are you acting like a child, playing house with him?"

"Son, if you really are some kind of multi-millionaire, then I'm the multi-millionaire's dad!"

Chen Chongli didn't believe in his heart that the son he raised could be so outstanding.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Uh... isn't this just obvious nonsense?

Xu Lele couldn't help but jump out and say, "Oh dear, let me explain."

"Uncle and Aunt, it's like this: Xiaoyuer invested in the project, and Chen Zhou personally planned and oversaw it. They jointly founded a game company and developed a mobile game called 'Fruit Ninja,' which is incredibly popular right now!"

Xu Lele rattled off her words rapidly, like a machine gun, then turned to look at Chen Zhou.

"Chen Zhou, have the data from last month come out yet? Fruit Ninja must have made your company a lot of money, right?"

"Yes!"

Chen Zhou smiled and nodded, explaining to his bewildered parents, "In the past month or so, our company has earned more than 1000 million yuan."

"And I've already planned to distribute 600 million in dividends."

"In a few days, I will receive 360 million yuan in cash after tax, plus a bonus of 30 yuan, bringing my total to 390 million yuan!"

"Xia Xiaomiao also received a dividend of 120 million yuan."

Hearing the numbers Chen Zhou reported, even Xu Lele, who had expected them, was surprised!

Xu Lele's pupils dilated in shock, and her lips trembled.

"How many?"

"Chen Zhou, do you mean your company earned over 1000 million in just one month?"

"Are you sure it's not a one-year plan, but a plan to earn over 1000 million?"

Chen Zhou chuckled and said, "That's the money-making effect of mobile games!"

"You've learned something new, haven't you?"

Xu Lele nodded repeatedly, "This has broadened my horizons!"

Xia Yu never imagined that her boyfriend was even more capable than she had ever thought!

Her eyes were filled with joy and admiration as she exclaimed, "Chen Zhou, you're amazing!"

Chen Zhou pinched Xia Xiaomiao's delicate little face and smiled, "No matter how capable I am, don't I still need your support?"

"If you hadn't given me over 50 yuan in start-up capital back then, let alone Fruit Ninja becoming a huge hit."

Whether this game has even been developed is still a big question mark.

Xia Xiaomiao smiled happily.

Even after witnessing these scenes, Chen Chongli and Zhou Xianjun still found it unbelievable.

It was like a dream, so dreamlike and illusory.

Chen Chongli asked uncertainly, "Are you sure you're not performing some kind of play?"

Zhou Xianjun asked with great concern, "Son, is what you just said true?"

"You really founded a company? And made over 1000 million?"

"And what about those dividends, which amount to several million?"

Chen Zhou replied earnestly, "Of course it's true!"

"I swear, I'm absolutely not lying to you!"

Xia Xiaomiao's stunningly beautiful face peered into Chen Zhou's eyes.

She gave a soft, coquettish hum.

Lovely.

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, I got it. Next time I'll only say this to you."

Xia Xiaomiao nodded happily, hummed twice, and smiled radiantly.

Chen Zhou then said to his parents, "So I really have money now."

"Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry about the family's debts anymore."

"The total debt shouldn't be more than 300 million, right?"

"Wait two days. As soon as the dividends arrive, I'll immediately transfer 300 million to you. Use it to pay off your debts, okay?"

Hearing Chen Zhou's confident words at this moment, Zhou Xianjun's doubts had almost completely dissipated.

No matter how you look at it, my son doesn't seem to have a mental illness!

Zhou Xianjun asked, "Um, son, it's not that Mom doesn't trust you, it's just that Mom wants to broaden her horizons."

"Could you show me and your dad around your company?"

Chen Chongli also recovered from his extreme shock and quickly chimed in, "That's right! Son, seeing is believing, let us go and take a look."

Chen Zhou nodded. "Okay, let's go!"

"Let's go, Xia Xiaomiao, let's go together."

Xia Xiaomiao smiled brightly, "Mmm!"

Xu Lele quickly asked, "What about me?"

Chen Zhou said, "Don't worry, we're having a big meal at noon today, and you'll definitely be included."

Xu Lele visibly brightened up, "That's more like it!"

"Little Fish, you're amazing!" Xu Lele turned to her best friend and said.

Xia Xiaomiao asked in confusion, "What's so great about me?"

Xu Lele whispered in her ear, "You have a really sharp eye!"

"You spotted Chen Zhou, a dragon among men and a prodigy, more than a decade ago."

Xia Yu blushed and secretly glanced at her boyfriend.

She wondered to herself whether Chen Zhou remembered anything from more than a decade ago.

But it's okay.

Whether Chen Zhou remembers or not, it doesn't stop me from liking him!

That doesn't stop me from loving him forever!

Afterwards, the group left the residential area and went to the lakeside entrepreneurial park of Fengxiang Lake.

Before I even got to my own company, I was passing by Panda Media next door.

Diana happened to be going out and participated in the raffle for Chen Zhou and his group.

She quickly stepped forward to greet him, saying warmly, "Mr. Chen, what brings you here...?"

Chen Zhou said, "I'm bringing my parents to visit."

Diana suddenly realized and said "Oh".

But no matter how she looked at Chen Zhou's parents, she felt that they did not have the appearance of being rich and powerful.

This entire outfit is made of no-name brands!

Hmm... I get it! It must be a low-key family tradition!

Diana's mind raced for a moment, then she stepped forward with a smile.

"So you two are Mr. Chen's parents! You are indeed dignified and elegant!"

"Uncle and Aunt, my name is Diana. You can call me Xiao Dai or Anna."

"I work with Boss Chen."

Chen Chongli and Zhou Xianjun: "Uh..."

"Hello, hello." The two greeted Diana.

Although still a bit confused, and hadn't even arrived at Chen Zhou's company yet.

But Chen Chongli and Zhou Xianjun had already made up their minds about one thing at this moment.

— Chen Zhou, that kid, he's really made something of himself!
