Naturally, Li Nan did not know about these matters between Meng Qingzhu and Yuan Na.
After leaving Meng Qingzhu’s place, Li Nan drove straight back to the Qi family’s old residence.
After yesterday’s birthday party, the Qi family’s attitude towards Li Nan’s family had naturally changed a long time ago, and it could be seen that Old Mother Qi Xuemei was very happy in the Qi family, and her relationship with Grandfather Qi Huachang and Great Uncle and Second Uncle had also been brought closer.
When she was leaving, the entire Qi family came out to say goodbye, which was something that they would not have dared to think about in the past.
“Xiao Nan, thank you, mum!” After the car was on its way, Qi Xuemei’s eyes were a little moist as she said.
Her relationship with her mother’s family had been fractious for more than twenty years, and only she could experience the excitement of having her affection restored.
And naturally, all of this was thanks to Li Nan.
“Mom, what, do you still need to be polite with your own son?” Li Nan said smilingly.
Hearing Li Nan say this, Qi Xuemei couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Yes, for a mother to thank her son in such a serious manner was a bit too out of the ordinary.
At this moment, Li Kangning hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Xiao Nan, can you tell Dad what kind of work you are doing now, how come so many big bosses wished your grandfather’s birthday in your honour yesterday, and even the big boss of Shanghai Sea came?”
Hearing his dad’s words, Li Nan actually didn’t feel surprised at all, after all, the commotion yesterday was indeed a bit too big, and it was only reasonable that dad and the others would think more about it.
“I can only say that it was my luck that I met a rather powerful big man as my boss, that big man is one of those top-tier magnates, although I only acted as his agent, but it was already enough for those ordinary big bosses to bend over backwards.” Lai Nan spoke out the reason he had already thought of.
“A magnate! Brother, you’re not talking about those very powerful gentry played on TV, are you?” Lai Xue said excitedly.
“Well, that’s right, the kind of super rich families that eat hundreds of thousands of dollars for a random meal, millions for a random outfit, and tens of millions or even hundreds of millions for a month’s pocket money!” Li Nan said with a smile.
“My goodness ……” Li Xue’s eyes widened in shock, “I thought those were only on TV, but I didn’t think they were real!”
Such a luxurious mansion looked like a dream to Lai Xue.
On the side, Lai Kangning and Qi Xuemei were also in awe.
To be honest, no matter whether it was Li Kangning or Qi Xuemei, they could only be considered to be from ordinary families, and they also knew that with their own insight, they could not understand the extravagant life of those so-called luxurious families.
However, they only had to know that the other party was the kind of person who was very, very rich.
“So that’s how it is.” Lai Kangning let out a long breath of relief.
To be honest, the surprises that Li Nan had brought them over this period of time were just too much, and as parents, Li Kangning and Qi Xuemei were really worried that their son would go astray in some way.
But now, after hearing their son say so, they finally put their hearts down.
At that moment, Li Nan thought of something else and said, “Right, Mom and Dad, there’s a good news, I originally planned to tell you guys when I got back to Dragon City, but since we’ve talked about it, I’ll just tell you guys directly.”
“Good news? What’s the good news?” Li Kangning asked.
“It’s like this, the Kaisheng hotpot restaurant that my mother works at, my boss has bought it and given it to me!” Li Nan said directly.
In fact, that Kaisheng Hotpot Restaurant, Li Nan had already bought it before, only that he had never dared to say anything about it before, and now, since the words had already come to this point, then Li Nan decided to put his plan into action.
The reason why he did this was actually influenced by what happened at the birthday party yesterday.
Previously, Grandpa and his uncles had always despised his father, Li Kangning, because he did not have any job or career.
They even thought that a job as a gatekeeper would suit him better.
Li Nan knew very well what a career meant to a man, so he decided to give this gift to his dad.
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Qi Xuemei and Li Kangning, all of them, were in shock.
“Is this …… true?!” Li Kangning’s eyes were wide with shock.
“No way, the location and size of Kaisheng Hot Pot Restaurant, if you want to buy it, it must be at least tens of millions of dollars, your boss actually said to give it to you?” Qi Xuemei couldn’t believe this.
“Mom, didn’t I just say that 10 million is a lot for poor people like us, but for their rich family, it’s just pocket money. Besides, I took a big order for our boss last month, and he’s sort of rewarding me for that.” Li Nan was now telling lies without blushing.
“Yes, Mom and Dad, that’s a big family, haven’t you seen the gentry on TV, just buying a diamond ring, they all cost tens of millions! This amount of money is not even pocket money to them!” Li Xue also looked as if she knew very well.
“Like this? ……” Qi Xuemei and Li Kangning were in awe again when they heard this.
The two of them now just felt that it was really poverty that limited their imagination! The life of rich people was really beyond their comprehension!
After this explanation from Li Nan and Li Xue, Qi Xuemei and Li Kangning didn’t think anything more about it.
“In that case, our family will be in big business in the future! So I’ll be able to have free hotpot every day! Hahahaha ……” Li Xue was very happy.
“And mum and dad, they’ll all be big bosses in the future, hahaha, that’s great!” Li Xue smiled innocently.
Qi Xuemei and Li Kangning were also full of excitement at this moment.
To be honest, they had always dreamed of owning their own business, but they didn’t have the capital before, so it was just a dream.
But they never thought that now they would actually achieve it!
How could they not be excited?
The family spent the rest of the journey thinking about how they were going to run the shop in the future.
As Li Nan listened to this, he felt a special sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He had helped his family solve the problem of the house before, and now it was the problem of making money, and Li Nan felt that his goal was being achieved little by little.
Along the way, Li Xue kept on sighing about the gentry who treated money like dirt, which was really too jealous.
How could she know that her brother, Li Nan, sitting beside her, was such a magnificent family!
An hour or so later, Li Nan and the others returned to Dragon City.
After dropping off her parents and Li Xue and the others at home, Li Nan drove to Nine Dragons Villa.
When they reached a junction, the light was red.
At that moment, a girl wearing a light blue dress walked past Li Nan’s car.
At first, Li Nan did not pay attention to it, but when the girl walked out a few metres away, Li Nan’s heart trembled violently.
He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly looked again in the direction the girl had left.
Although there was only a back figure at that moment, however, Li Nan still recognised it at once.
That back had appeared in Li Nan’s memory countless times before, and he would never mistake it!
It was really the girl that Li Nan had a crush on when he was in high school!
To be honest, after so many years had pa*sed, Li Nan’s feelings for that girl had long since become relatively dull.
Especially after he went to university and fell in love with Yang Xiaoli, he had almost forgotten about that girl completely.
It was just that he did not expect to see the other girl’s figure appearing in front of him again at this moment, and Li Nan’s heart still could not help but feel a stirring.
“Tee hee hee!”
“What are you doing, hurry up!”
Li Nan was so absorbed in his daze that he didn’t even notice the green light, prompting a burst of urging from behind.
He started the car in a hurry and pulled over at the junction.
Afterwards, Li Nan ran wildly, chasing after the other side of the street where he had just left.
To be honest, Li Nan himself didn’t even know why he was chasing after him, he just felt that if he didn’t catch up, he would definitely regret it.
Just when Li Nan was worried that he might not find the other party, he turned a corner and saw a girl standing by the roadside.
She was holding a stack of leaflets in her arms and kept handing them out to pa*sers-by.
Her face was smiling, innocent as ever, familiar and yet unfamiliar.
At this moment, Li Nan could clearly hear her own heartbeat, a heart that had been calm for a long time, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
After taking a deep breath, Li Nan finally gathered enough courage to walk towards the other side.
