Chapter 118

I didn't expect this time to be even more exaggerated!

Don't even mention eight million; even if the couple worked together for a whole lifetime, they might not earn a million.

It took several full minutes before Lu Haitao finally pointed at the bank card and, word by word, confirmed, "Xiao Jing, you're really not kidding..."

"Of course, I could still be lying to you; tomorrow we'll go buy a house!"

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Let's all go to bed early today, get up early to the sales office, and try to finalize the house before I leave."

"Okay... okay then."

Lu Haitao, realizing it late, nodded.

Lu Jing navigated his phone and found a villa not far from the city center.

"There's a villa area called Atlantis Peninsula; it looks decent. Do you know this place?"

"I know!"

Lu Leyi said enviously, "I have a classmate who lives there; I heard the environment is great, the community is beside a lake, and it's close to our school!"

Atlantis Peninsula is a newly built villa district in Anwu City; the houses are all detached villas with premium renovations.

Lu Jing nodded, "Alright, no need to envy your classmate; we'll go buy the house tomorrow."

"Wow, that's great!"

Lu Leyi literally jumped up, laughing so hard her mouth wouldn't close.

Lu Haitao, watching his children chatter and laugh, embraced Feng Qinru with satisfaction; the two exchanged smiles, their eyes full of affection.

…

That night, Lu Haitao and his wife slept restlessly, the couple whispering to each other until late, their conversation unknown.

Lu Leyi slept soundly, a sweet smile on her face, unaware of any pleasant dream.

As for Lu Jing, after practicing the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique once, he visualized the diamond little man again, striving to enlarge that deep crimson.

The next day.

Lu Jing took his family to Atlantis Peninsula and paid five million in full to acquire a lakeside detached villa.

Since it was already renovated and ready to move in, Lu Jing also hired a moving company to help.

At the old community entrance, a flatbed truck was parked, and many workers in tank tops were loading furniture onto it.

Lu Haitao kept directing from the side, while Feng Qinru carried a large box of bottled water and handed it out to the workers.

Lu Jing's family has been famous in the community for a long time; many neighbors gathered when they saw them moving.

"Haitao, what's this? Moving houses?"

Lu Haitao laughed and said, "Yes, the old house is too small, the kids can't stretch out, so we're changing to a better environment!"

"Where are you planning to move to?"

"Atlantis Peninsula!"

"Good fellow, that's a villa area, right? I saw its ad on TV; I heard a unit costs five to six million!"

The onlooking neighbors looked surprised, chatting, "How much mortgage would you have to pay each month? You two are getting older, isn't the pressure big?"

"It's fine, not much pressure," Lu Haitao said with a smile, "It was Xiao Jing who bought it outright, no mortgage needed!"

When they heard Lu Jing bought it outright, the neighbors were even more surprised.

"Xiao Jing is so accomplished!"

"Yeah, Xiao Jing is only about eighteen, and already bought a big villa for the family!"

"No wonder he's Anwu City's prodigy, truly impressive!"

"We envy you both, being able to enjoy life with your child."

The neighbors laughed and offered blessings.

Lu Haitao and his wife laughed so hard they couldn't close their mouths, "Oh, don't flatter him so much; he'll get too proud when he hears it later."

Before they finished, Lu Jing's voice was heard.

"Mom, Dad, everything's almost packed, right? Don't bring the old furniture; let's buy new ones over there."

Everyone looked toward the voice.

A tall, distinguished-looking teenager strode forward, holding a large three-door refrigerator, his speed unaffected.

The teenager walked to the truck and placed the refrigerator inside directly.

"Dad, the sofa legs are all broken; why are you still bringing it..."

Lu Haitao lit a cigarette and laughed, "Didn't your mother tell you to bring it? She said it'd be a pity to lose it."

Feng Qinru glared irritably, "Can't we just repair the sofa? We bought it with money; why discard it? Besides, Xiao Jing is about to go to Wu University, a time to spend money, so saving is fine."

Lu Jing shook his head helplessly, saying nothing more; his parents are used to a frugal life, a habit not easily changed.

He walked up to the neighbors and greeted each of them.

As a city celebrity, Lu Jing was naturally popular in the community; neighbors gathered around him, praising him, creating a lively scene.

Many neighbors looked at Lu Jing with envy and affection, wishing he were their own child.

There's nothing to do; Lu Jing is simply too outstanding.

Which parent doesn't hope their child becomes a dragon? Lu Jing is the dragon among them.

After another hour or so, everything from Lu Jing's old house was moved onto the truck, filling the cargo hold to the brim.

Inside were not only old furniture and clothes, but also many gifts the neighbors had just brought.

The family took a taxi and followed the truck to Atlantis Peninsula.

"Sigh, after living here for most of our lives, moving so suddenly feels a bit reluctant..."

Feng Qinru looked back at the familiar community, her eyes a little moist.

This was her marital home, also the memory of her youth.

Lu Haitao also wore a look of reluctance, was about to light a cigarette, but remembering he was in the car, he set the lighter down.

Only Lu Leyi had a carefree look, a face full of yearning, their heart pounding wildly.

Lu Jing said soothingly, "Mom and Dad, we're just moving, not selling the house. If you want to come back later, you can. Besides, the two houses aren't far apart."

The couple nodded, patted Lu Jing's head, and smiles returned to their faces.

Soon, the two cars arrived one after another near the Atlant Peninsula.

The greenery here is excellent; if the villas weren't tucked among it, one would think it was a park.

Lu Jing's villa is in the last row, backed by a lake.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

In front of the villa district gate, a young security guard stepped out of the guardhouse and performed a standard military salute.

"We moved in; we just bought a house here."

Lu Haitao got out of the taxi, walked to the guardhouse, and handed the guard a cigarette.

The guard glanced at the shabby furniture on the truck, then at Lu Haitao's dirty coat from the move, and hesitated.

He then called the property management for confirmation.

After confirming everything was correct, he opened the gate and allowed the vehicles to pass.

"Welcome home, homeowner!"

To the guard's welcome, the two cars continued forward.

Lu Jing exhaled in the back seat; he had expected the guard to look down on them.

The guard leapt out to mock his own family, laying the groundwork for a pretentious act that would backfire.

Now it seems he overthought it.

However, this left Lu Jing feeling a vague sense of loss......
