Chapter 95

"Sure. Little Sister, what you said is quite right." Xu Jianxing nodded, looking at his parents' somewhat unfriendly gazes, he didn't dare to keep them in suspense and directly said, "But if I could turn this luck into certainty, do you think we could play?"

"Of course we can." Xu's parents said without any hesitation. As for Xu Rou, her face was full of shock, and she then asked in disbelief, "Could it be that you have some kind of X-ray vision, Brother?"

Then, as if she thought of something, Xu Rou's face turned bright red, and she quickly stretched out her arm to hug herself.

Xu Jianxing couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Little Sister, what are you thinking? I don't have X-ray vision, but with the special true qi in my body, I can definitely determine whether there is jade in the raw stones."

"Really?" Xu's parents were thoroughly shocked, their gazes filled with disbelief as they looked at Xu Jianxing. As for Xu Rou, she was relieved, but still felt a bit embarrassed, thinking she was too sensitive. Even if her brother had X-ray vision, he wouldn't peek at her.

"Of course it's real. Otherwise, where would I get the money for these medicines?" Xu Jianxing said with a hint of pride.

"We're rich, we're really going to be rich." Xu Rou, forgetting her small embarrassment, was so excited she could hardly contain herself. She hugged her parents and said, "Mom, Dad, we're really going to be rich. You won't have to work so hard anymore."

At the end, Xu Rou was so happy she cried. The hard work and toil of her parents were not only a concern for her brother but also for her. She had even thought about not going to college and working instead, but her parents had scolded her harshly, and she had finally calmed down. She had been looking forward to graduating as soon as possible so that her parents could live a better life. Who knew that a good life would come at this moment.

She had no doubt about Xu Jianxing's words. She believed her brother would never joke about such matters and would never lack judgment.

Xu Anlin and Yang Yulan felt the same way. They were extremely excited, and it took a while for their emotions to calm down. Xu Rou wiped away her tears and asked excitedly, "Brother, how much money have you made?"

"Right now, I have a bit more than thirty million, and I also spent over fifty million to buy a villa," Xu Jianxing said cautiously.

Upon hearing the first part, Xu's parents' minds buzzed. Thirty million was something they had never even dared to dream about, but Xu Jianxing had earned it. When they heard the second part, Yang Yulan was startled and looked at Xu Jianxing in disbelief. "What did you say? You spent over fifty million to buy a villa? Did I hear that wrong?"

"No, it's indeed over fifty million," Xu Jianxing laughed. "Mom, for us, fifty million is just a small amount. With my current abilities, earning tens of millions a day is no problem. Think about it, using the earnings from five days of work to buy a villa, is that expensive?"

"No, not at all," Yang Yulan shook her head, still struggling to accept the situation. "But, but that's fifty million. You little rascal, what kind of villa did you buy?"

"A standalone villa by the sea. You'll see when the time comes."

Although the house wasn't officially his yet, once his ID card was in Lu Qian's hands, the transfer would be completed. It would likely happen in a day or two, so Xu Jianxing could say this.

Xu Anlin, who was more composed, had calmed down after some time, but he was still excited. After a moment of thought, he said solemnly, "Xiaoxing, even though you can make money now, you need to understand the saying 'a tall tree catches the wind.' Some things can be done once or twice, but if you keep doing them, it will definitely bring you a lot of trouble."

"Dad, don't worry. I considered this when I first started gambling on stones and used some small tricks. I'll tell you about it when I have time."

Xu Jianxing smiled slightly and said, "Mom, Dad, what I want to tell you now is that I hope you can move to Yunhai with me..."

At this point, seeing his parents about to speak, Xu Jianxing waved his hand, "Mom, Dad, please let me finish. You should understand that if you keep taking the transformation liquid, you will undergo a significant change. How will you explain this to people you know? Saying you had plastic surgery or beauty treatments won't work, as those familiar with our family will know the situation, and you see each other every day. This explanation won't hold up, even if you hide for a while and use the excuse of getting rich. People will definitely ask where you had the surgery or treatments. Besides, if you want to practice, you need a quiet and good environment. Unless you're willing to give up practicing, and with my current cultivation, I can live to be at least 150 years old. Would you be willing to leave me in the future?"

In fact, when Xu's parents heard about giving up practice, they were already very hesitant. No one would give up such an opportunity, but the only thing they were reluctant to leave was this home, these friends, and a certain habit. When they heard Xu Jianxing's last words, Xu Anlin nodded heavily, "We'll move, but give your mom and me some time."

"No problem, Dad. I think ten days should be enough," Xu Jianxing smiled. He also wanted to look around and visit some old friends and classmates, as he hadn't seen them for a year. He used to gather with these friends when he came back, and he missed them a bit.

"Enough," Xu Anlin responded. They had only one direct relative here, Xu Jianxing's aunt, Xu Anling. The relationship between the two families was generally good, and although they had many distant relatives, their relationship was distant, and they only interacted during holidays. Xu Jianxing's grandparents and great-grandparents had passed away years ago.

At this moment, Yang Yulan asked with concern, "By the way, Xiaoxing, how are things with you and Xiaoxue now?"

Xu Jianxing was slightly taken aback and then forced a smile, "We broke up a year ago. Her father was a vice mayor."

He knew that if he didn't explain clearly, his parents would definitely keep asking, and his sister wouldn't let him off easily. After all, everything needs a reason. It was better to explain it now.

Although Xu Jianxing only said that her father was a vice mayor, Yang Yulan and the others understood completely. They had seen many such scenarios on TV, and based on their understanding of Chen Haoxue, they knew the problem was with her parents. They also knew Xu Jianxing's character, so the breakup was somewhat expected.

A mother knows her child best. Although Xu Jianxing had hidden his pain very well, Yang Yulan could sense it. However, she didn't know how to comfort him. Xu Anlin and Xu Rou felt the same way, as they knew how much Xu Jianxing had invested emotionally and how often he had spoken about Chen Haoxue with a happy tone.

The atmosphere in the room became silent for a moment.

After a while, Xu Rou said bluntly, "Brother, if you broke up, so what? It's just that Xiaoxue's parents are blind. I'll tell you, the girls in my dorm were all smitten when they saw your photos. They said you were handsome and had a great aura. It's a pity you had a girlfriend. I can introduce you to them if you want. I guarantee you'll find a beautiful wife."

Although she and Chen Haoxue were good friends, even good friends couldn't compare to her brother. In a short time, Xu Rou not only felt resentment towards Chen Haoxue's parents but also had some grievances towards Chen Haoxue. Their relationship had changed from good friends to ordinary friends.

As for the girls in her dorm being interested in Xu Jianxing, it was true, but Xu Rou knew they were joking. However, if her brother really wanted, she was confident she could make one of them her sister-in-law, partly because of Xu Jianxing's changes and partly to cheer him up.

Yang Yulan understood her daughter's intentions and asked, "Xiaorou, are you talking about Dan Dan and Xiao Jing?"

"Of course, who else? They were all infatuated when they saw my brother's photos," Xu Rou said exaggeratedly.

Xu Jianxing couldn't help but smile bitterly, understanding his sister's intentions. He felt touched and then scratched his head awkwardly, "Mom, Dad, I actually have a new girlfriend now."

"You have a new girlfriend?" Xu's parents were slightly surprised, while Xu Rou let out a sigh of relief and then pouted, "Brother, you didn't tell us you had a girlfriend, making me worry for nothing."

Xu Jianxing looked at his sister speechlessly and said, "Did I have time to say it?"

"Hmph, it's still your fault," Xu Rou said unreasonably and then asked curiously, "What's her name, where is she from, how old is she, and is she pretty?"

Xu's parents were also very concerned and looked at Xu Jianxing intently.

Xu Jianxing smiled awkwardly and said carefully, "Her name is Lu Qian. She's very beautiful, from Yunhai City, but she's five years older than me. Is that okay?"

"What?" Xu's parents were shocked, and Yang Yulan followed up, "You said she's five years older than you?"

Although there's a saying that a woman three years older is like a golden brick, few parents would want their son to marry an older woman. Women tend to age faster, and the risk of congenital deformities increases after thirty. This had happened to Yang Yulan's acquaintance, so she couldn't help but worry.

Xu Jianxing didn't know how much Yang Yulan was worrying and laughed foolishly, "Yes, she's five years older, but she's very virtuous, and..."

At this point, Xu Jianxing's mood became a bit low, "And, during the hardest year of my life, it was her company that helped me get through it."

Xu Jianxing's words were simple, but Xu's parents knew many things must have happened. Since he was willing to introduce Lu Qian to them, it meant he had deep feelings for her. Although they were a bit reluctant, Yang Yulan didn't want to interfere too much with her son's personal life. She sighed and said, "It's okay if she's a bit older, but you should get married soon. You know about Li Ge's child, so I don't need to say more."

This Li Ge lived in the same neighborhood, was about ten years older than Xu Jianxing, and his wife was over thirty when she gave birth. The child was born with a cleft lip, causing a lot of trouble for the family.

Xu Jianxing knew about this and, suppressing his joy at Yang Yulan's agreement, said quickly, "Mom, don't worry. Even if Lu Qian is a bit older, it doesn't matter because you forgot about the transformation liquid."

"Right!" Yang Yulan immediately realized that while it might be risky for ordinary people to have children later in life, with the magical transformation liquid, even if Lu Qian had children in a few years, it wouldn't be a problem. Her body would be much stronger, which reassured her.

Then, Yang Yulan asked casually, "By the way, Xiaoxing, what's Lu Qian's family like? Are her parents okay?"

"Her family is very wealthy, and her parents have passed away."

Xu Jianxing didn't specify Lu Qian's exact background, as he believed his parents wouldn't care about it. He then said with a conflicted expression, "And, and..."

"What else? Why are you speaking so hesitantly? Is there something you can't tell us?" Yang Yulan asked with a smile.

"No," Xu Jianxing scratched his head and laughed foolishly, then subconsciously shrunk his neck, "And, Lu Qian has a six-year-old daughter." (To be continued)
