Chapter 104: Back To Home

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In recent years, more and more people were returning back to Chen Fan’s home county from the city.

Chen Fan politely refused a few magnates’ invitations of giving him a ride home as he preferred the quietness and secluded time on a bus.

“Six months ago, I was reborn on the bus operated by Golden Dragon Travel Group. However, I was traveling in the opposite direction.” Chen Fan lamented.

When he first woke up on the bus, he was nothing but a normal student. Six months later, he had already become a household name in the Jiang Bei region.

“I wonder if my mother and Sister An had returned home or not. I hope father is still doing all right. What about my childhood friends? I wonder if they have changed at all?”

Chen Fan thought to himself.

As the winding country road took him closer toward home, he felt slightly scared.

He would be lying to say that he didn’t feel guilty for ignoring his parents in the six months.

After the bus pulled into the station, Chen Fan walked off the bus; he didn’t bring any luggage with him. As soon as he was through the exit, he got a phone call from his father’s administrative a.s.sistant.

“Hi, Brother Sun. Are you coming to pick me up? No, you don’t have to…”

Before Chen Fan could finish his words, he saw a young man waving at him across the street. That was his best friend Jun Jie. Chen fan cracked a smile and then spoke to the phone: “Thank you, Brother Sun, Jun Jie is already here to pick me up. Thank you anyways. Stay in touch.”

He hung up the phone and watched as the young man darted towards him and then threw a punch at his chest.

“a.s.shole! Why have you been ghosting me for six months! I thought you have traveled outside of China.”

A light-hearted smile broke over Chen Fan’s face. He thought to himself.

“I have traveled much further than just outside of China. I was five hundred years away, and now I am back.”

“Stop it, Jun Jie. Xiao Fan must have kept himself busy with school. Gaokao is in just a few months.” A young man wearing a black-rimmed gla.s.ses spoke calmly.

Hearing the words, Jun Jie shook his head and unclenched his fist.

Despite the teenagers’ accusatory tone, Chen Fan knew that their intentions were good. Chen Fan felt warmth rose inside of him.

The boy who rushed to Chen Fan was called Wu Junjie while the boy with the black rimmed gla.s.ses was called Xu Haoxuan. Both of them were Chen Fan’s best friends ever since childhood.

The three walked alongside each other and arrived at a car. Chen Fan plastered on an impressed look and then said: “Holy s.h.i.+t! Young Lord Wu, it’s only been six months, and you can afford a BMW now?”

“Hehe, it’s just a 320 series, the most affordable line. Only two hundred thousand, one of my friends gave me a discount on it. “Wu Junjie put on a smug smile and then said: “I have met a lot of rich and powerful young people while I was at Jin City.

“You have to see their wealth for yourself. They drove million yuan race cars such as Ferraris and Lamborghinis. Their house built along the river is worth over ten million. One of them, the Young Lord Wei was particularly close to me. We are planning to open a business together in the future. When I am finally rich, I will ditch this BMW and get a Maserati or what have you.”

The longer Wu Junjie went on, the more imaginative his story became.

“Young Lord Wei? The Wei Family of Chu Zhou City?” Xu Haoxuan asked with two raised eyebrows.

“You bet. Who else do you think I am talking about?” So saying, he plastered on a smug smile, but a gloomy concern flashed across his face.

Chen Fan recalled what Wei Zipin had said about Wu Junjie. He reckoned that his friend had stomached a lot of humiliation when he was away from home.

Wu Junjie was the son of the richest man in the county. He never had been school material and skipped cla.s.ses every day to hang out with his rich and spoiled friends. When he moved to a big city, his advantage from his family background suddenly disappeared into thin air. This amount of wealth his father ama.s.sed in the little county couldn’t compare with the rich city magnates.

On the other hand, both of Xu Haoxuan’s parents were ordinary government employees, but Xu Haoxuan’s grades were high, and he was vying for top universities such as Qinhua.

The Number One Middle School at the Chu Zhou City used to fight over him with the Sishui County High School. But in the end, the boy decided to stay in the county.

“Bah, let’s talk about something else.” Wu Jun Jie patted Chen Fan’s shoulder and said: “Everyone is waiting for you at the Deng Yin restaurant. I even invited your dream girl.”

“The Deng Yin restaurant? d.a.m.n, did you strike it rich while you are in the city?” Xu Haoxuan asked with surprise.

Deng Yin restaurant was one of the oldest restaurants in China, a banquet there would cost at least two thousand yuan per table.
