396: Do you know what your brother is doing in Yangcheng?

"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading off. Just contact me if you need any help next time."

After moving the items, they chatted for a few more moments.

Staying in such an expensive apartment made Meng Feiyu feel completely out of place, so he found an excuse to leave.

"Alright." Ye Su took out his phone at the right moment: "Let's add each other as friends so it's easier to keep in touch."

"Sure."

Meng Feiyu couldn't have asked for more. He hurriedly took out his phone, added Ye Su, then headed downstairs to drive away from the Apartment Complex in his truck, which looked completely out of place among the other vehicles in the underground garage.

He didn't go around blabbing like a megaphone about Ye Su driving a Lamborghini and living in the Apartment Complex.

However, Meng Feiyu couldn't resist taking out his phone and sending a message to Ye Xin.

[dude, you're being a bit uncool.]

Ye Xin, who was sitting in front of his computer looking at the sales and traffic data for the [great sage swimsuit], felt a flash of confusion when he saw the message from Meng Feiyu.

"How am I being uncool?"

Ye Xin recalled that after returning to Guangzhou following the New Year, Meng Feiyu had told him that his online shop wasn't doing well, so he had sold it off and was currently getting by driving a truck for a while.

"Could it be that he found out my online shop is doing well and is complaining that I didn't teach him a few tricks?"

It wasn't that Ye Xin didn't want to teach him.

The key was that his online shop's success was largely due to Ye Su's previous product selection advice and the two subsequent rounds of stockpiling, which allowed the shop to take off.

Furthermore, knowing Meng Feiyu, Ye Xin didn't think he would blame him for the failure of his online shop.

"This bastard, could he be in some kind of trouble lately?"

They had grown up together, skipping classes and getting into fights side by side.

Back when Ye Xin's family had financial trouble, his buddies had offered to help, saying they could pool some money together if he needed it.

It was just that Ye Xin hadn't wanted to trouble them, so he didn't accept their money.

Now that his family had cleared that hurdle and he had some extra cash on hand, if Meng Feiyu were really in trouble, Ye Xin would definitely want to help.

Of course, helping was one thing, but roasting each other was still necessary.

Ye Xin was logged into WeChat on his computer, and with his hands moving at lightning speed, he replied to Meng Feiyu.

[How am I being uncool? Not treating you like my future brother-in-law, right?]

[Should have said so earlier. I'll head to your house right now and tell your parents.]

[Feiyu: Screw you!]

[Feiyu: I'm talking about your brother.]

[Feiyu: Do you know what he is doing in Guangzhou right now!]

"Ye Su!"

Seeing that it involved Ye Su, Ye Xin was instantly startled, fearing that something had happened to Ye Su in Guangzhou.

[What happened to him in Guangzhou??]

[Meng Feiyu: I just picked up an order, and it happened to be placed by your brother.]

[Meng Feiyu: I've already seen his Lamborghini.]

[Meng Feiyu: Your brother must be the first one among us to drive a Lamborghini.]

[Meng Feiyu: And the place he had me move items to was the Apartment Complex in Zhujiang New Town. He said a friend let him stay there for free.]

[Meng Feiyu: Do you know that the housing prices in that complex are over two hundred thousand per square meter!]

"Lamborghini!"

"Apartment Complex!"

"Over two hundred thousand per square meter!"

The more he read Meng Feiyu's messages, the more confused Ye Xin's brain became.

The family knew that Ye Su had been making good money investing with friends in Guangzhou during this period.

Just from the two times he had him stock up on face masks and sunscreen clothing, he had earned over a million.

The Xingchao Garment Factory that Ye Jianguo was now managing had also been purchased with capital provided by Ye Su.

But all four members of the family thought that for Ye Su to earn a few million now was already the absolute limit.

Lamborghini, Apartment Complex, housing prices over two hundred thousand...

What Meng Feiyu was describing was far beyond Ye Xin's comprehension.

[What Lamborghini, what Apartment Complex? You're not messing with me, are you?]

[Meng Feiyu: Still playing dumb?]

Meng Feiyu sent Ye Xin a photo he had taken of the river view from the living room of the Apartment Complex, as well as a photo of the Lamborghini he had taken in the underground garage when leaving the complex.

[Meng Feiyu: See for yourself. This is the river-view apartment I took a photo of when I just helped him move his things up, and the Lamborghini downstairs.]

Ye Xin felt that Meng Feiyu had no reason to suddenly play a prank on him with these things.

Now that he saw the photos Meng Feiyu had sent, Ye Xin almost completely believed what Meng Feiyu had said.

[Everything you said is true?]

[Meng Feiyu: Isn't that obvious?]

[Meng Feiyu: Do you think I'm bored enough to specifically find some random internet photos just to mess with you?]

[I only knew that my brother had been doing business with some friends in Guangzhou for the past few months and that it was going well, but I had no idea he was driving a Lamborghini and living in Zhujiang New Town.]

[Meng Feiyu: You didn't know either?]

[It's not like my brother reports everything he does to the family.]

[Meng Feiyu: That's true.]

[Let's stop chatting for now. I'm going to go ask him what's going on.]

[Don't go spreading this around.]

[Meng Feiyu: I know that.]

Closing the chat box with Meng Feiyu on his computer, Ye Xin immediately took out his phone and called Ye Su via voice call.

...

Inside the Apartment Complex, seeing that Ye Xin was calling, Ye Su thought he wanted to discuss the [great sage swimsuit], so he answered the phone.

"Hello, brother."

Just as the call connected, a barrage of rapid-fire questions came from the receiver as Ye Xin grilled him, mostly asking about the car Ye Su was driving and the apartment he was living in.

Upon hearing this, Ye Su guessed immediately that Meng Feiyu must have told Ye Xin about the situation, which was why Ye Xin was calling him.

Since he would be returning to his hometown in two weeks, having Meng Feiyu tip off Ye Xin in advance would save Ye Su the trouble of explaining it later:

"Hehe, I did get a Lamborghini, and I am indeed living here at the Apartment Complex."

Upon receiving Ye Su's confirmation, Ye Xin's jaw nearly hit the table on the other end of the line.

"You better not be getting into any shady business out there!"

Based on Ye Xin's understanding, there weren't many legal ways to start living a life with luxury cars and mansions within a few months.

Rather than seeing Ye Su thriving in a gray area only to end up in prison sewing machines, Ye Xin would much rather he stay on the straight and narrow, even if he didn't earn as much money as he was now.

"What kind of shady business could I possibly be getting into..."

Ye Su spent a bit of effort explaining to Ye Xin what he was currently doing, using a pre-fabricated excuse.

As for the luxury apartment, Ye Su also told the truth, saying that Yan Ran had let him stay there temporarily.

With a massive Joyful Gathering to back it up, Ye Xin finally dispelled his doubts, believing that the people Ye Su was currently working with were involved in legitimate business.

"As long as you aren't doing anything shady, that's fine. So, can I tell Mom and Dad about this?"

"Go ahead. I wasn't planning on hiding it anyway. I originally intended to tell you all when I went home for summer break."

The two brothers chatted idly on the phone for a while longer, taking the opportunity to discuss the current promotion and sales situation of the [great sage swimsuit].

After hanging up, Ye Xin didn't immediately tell the family about it. He continued to busy himself with the online shop, planning to drop a bombshell on the family during dinner that evening.
