Chapter 268: A Brand New Look
"Yeah, I thought they must have made a mistake too. I confirmed with them multiple times, but they said it only cost ten million," Chu Yuntian said.
"Secretary Wang must have been the one who told you, right? Did he say something about knowing me and giving you a cost-price deal?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes, exactly! Xiao Feng, how did you know?" Chu Yuntian asked.
"Because their boss, Wang Hong, wants to befriend me, so of course he wouldn't charge that much. Since they refunded the money to you, Dad, you should just keep it," Chu Feng said.
But at this, Chu Yuntian started to get uneasy. He looked at Chu Feng and asked, "Xiao Feng, are you sure you're not involved in anything illegal?"
He was beginning to suspect his son was involved in some kind of criminal activity. Otherwise, where would he have gotten all this money?
Besides, all these powerful bosses seemed afraid of him, like they were trying to curry his favor.
"Oh, Dad, don't worry. The business Miaoke and I are running is completely legitimate and legal. You don't have to worry about that. I would never do anything illegal," Chu Feng said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"That's right, Dad, Mom. You don't need to worry about Chu Feng. I can guarantee you he has absolutely not done anything illegal," Su Miaoke said with an earnest expression.
Hearing Su Miaoke's earnest guarantee, Chu Yuntian finally felt relieved.
"Alright, then. As long as it's not anything illegal, it's fine," Chu Yuntian said with a nod.
Then, he spoke again, "In that case, I should give this money back to you."
"No need, Dad. I have more. You two just keep it and spend it," Chu Feng said.
"This is so much money. Your mom and I can't possibly spend all this," Chu Yuntian said, his voice trembling slightly.
In all his years, this was the first time he had ever seen so much money. To be honest, after seeing such a large sum appear in his account, his hand holding the phone had been trembling.
"That's right, Xiao Feng. Your dad and I don't need this much money. You should take it. I'm sure you have a use for it," Chu Feng's mother added.
To put it bluntly, they were still worried Chu Feng wouldn't have enough money for himself.
"Come on, Mom, Dad, you don't have to worry. I have more money than I can spend. Just take it and use it without any worries. You've worked hard for most of your lives. It's time to enjoy yourselves, so don't be too frugal," Chu Feng told his parents.
He knew what his parents were thinking. They were just worried about him.
But now, he really was in a position where his parents no longer needed to worry.
With his current abilities, if he wanted to make money, there were plenty of ways to do it.
"That's right, Mom, Dad. You really don't need to worry. If I weren't afraid of scaring you, I'd tell you just how rich we are," Su Miaoke said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, we'll listen to you. We'll keep it. It's a good thing that you're capable and can earn money now. But if you ever run out, you can always come to us," Chu Feng's mother replied with a cheerful laugh.
Seeing her son so successful, Chu Feng's mother was also very happy.
"Xiao Feng only managed to take off like this because he married you, Miaoke. Otherwise, with his dog's luck, how could he have ever gotten this far?" Chu Yuntian said with a laugh.
Hearing his father's words, Chu Feng wanted to argue.
But on second thought, he realized his father had a point.
First, he had run into the God of Wealth, and then he had met Su Miaoke.
Without Su Miaoke, his path would have been completely uncertain.
"Ah, well, maybe it's because Grandpa's grave has good feng shui," Chu Feng said with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Miaoke also smiled and said, "Then you'd better be even nicer to me in the future."
"Yes, yes, of course. Don't worry, my dear wife," Chu Feng said, nodding with a smile.
Afterward, the family set off on their journey home.
With Chu Hao and Chu Qingqing gone, Chu Feng's parents had more room and could even lie down comfortably.
"This car is amazing. You can not only sit in it, but you can also lie down when you're tired," Chu Feng's mother said happily.
They arrived back at the village about two hours later.
The road back to the village had been completely redone—widened, reinforced, and paved with asphalt. The drive was much smoother than before.
They had even installed numerous streetlights along both sides of the road, so it wouldn't feel too creepy at night.
When they got back to the village, both Chu Feng and Su Miaoke were stunned.
The entire village was completely transformed compared to how it was before.
At the village entrance stood a massive memorial archway, carved entirely from granite. It was magnificent and imposing.
"Fuhe Village!" Su Miaoke exclaimed, stunned by the sight of the archway.
"This thing alone must have cost a few million, at least," Chu Feng said in amazement.
"You're underestimating. I overheard the workers talking. The material costs for this thing alone were seven or eight million, and that's not even counting transport, labor, or processing," Chu Yuntian said.
Hearing that price, Chu Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.
