Pei Qian’s family resided in a small county near Jingzhou City; it wasn’t that far away. After getting off a hired car, Pei Qian took a look at his bearings; he wanted to see if there were any loose ends. The suit, the leather belt, the leather shoes, etc. that he wore normally had all been left in his rented apartment; he had not brought any of those along.

Especially for things like a Rolex, he could never bring them home.

In the bag that he carried were also some daily necessities. That Alienware computer that cost 10,500 yuan; he naturally couldn’t bring it home. The notebook that Pei Qian had now was the one he had bought when he entered school.

It wasn’t that Pei Qian was overly cautious; the crux was that his parents were both super sleuths.

Did anyone really think that they could hide anything from their parents?

This person would be too naive and young.

Pei Qian did not want to start a huge debate with Old Pei about ‘whether games were mental opium or not’ if he was really found out.

After checking himself and his belongings, Pei Qian found that everything was in order. Pei Qian then walked to the apartment, took out his key, and opened the door. Once he entered, he immediately smelled an aroma of cooked food.

“Son, you’re back?” Pei Qian’s mom, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the door open and asked as she continued cooking.

“Young brat is back? Come, come. Come and savor the tea leaves that your big uncle had specially brought back.” Old Pei was just arranging the tea set on the table.

It was still a familiar sight; nothing had changed. It seemed as if he had returned to ten years ago. Pei Qian noticed that at that time, his parents did not have so much white hair.

“I’ll put my bag down first. Where are my slippers?”

“I’ve kept them for you. Old Pei, go into the cabinet and take out your son’s slippers! I’m quite busy now,” Mom shouted from the kitchen.

Old Pei begrudgingly got up from the sofa. “Which cabinet?”

“The bottom of the closet in Son’s room!”

Pei Qian changed into his slippers, placed down his bag, and leaned into the sofa.

Comfortable!

Although this sofa at home wasn’t that expensive, it actually felt so much more comfortable than the tens of thousands of yuan sofa in the company guest room! Home-cooked food smelled so much better than the few-hundred-yuan buffet that he had eaten before during cohesion!

As for the tea leaves at home…

Pfft, what lousy tea leaves!

1Pei Qian took a sip of this special tea that Old Pei said some big uncle had specially brought back as he almost spat it out.

It was so hard to drink!

He drank good tea in the company daily, and his taste buds had been spoiled; he found it so hard to drink this ordinary tea.

“How is it? This tea is not bad, right?” Old Pei sipped his tea as he smiled and asked.

“En, not bad.” Pei Qian quietly pushed his teacup away. It seemed like he had to find some chance to get some good tea for Old Pei to taste. He couldn’t take from the company as that was company assets; it could only be used to entertain guests and not for personal use.

However, Pei Qian wasn’t broke anymore; he could easily use his tens of thousands of Personal Wealth to buy a box of good tea for Old Pei. Thinking about his house’s condition, Pei Qian’s desire to generate more of his Personal Wealth grew exceedingly strong.

His family lived in an ordinary two-bedroom apartment; it was around a hundred square meters. Furthermore, as this was a rather recent purchase, his parents were still paying off a housing loan.

Although his mom had kept it sparkling clean—whether it was the furniture, electrical appliances or furnishings; everything was a little old. His family was an ordinary working-class one; while there weren’t financial difficulties, his parents were still rather thrifty.

Pei Qian looked at the television at home.
