Chapter 1222: The Owner's Wife The Owner's Wife?! Po Yu was completely confused by Lu Yun's words. In just a blink of an eye, how had Lu Yun become the owner of this convenience store? Could it be that the middle-aged man had suddenly gone blank, simply deciding to gift the store to Lu Yun without any reason? At this moment, Po Yu couldn't even imagine that Lu Yun would have enough cash to purchase the store. With a cold expression, Po Yu said with mild displeasure, "Lu Yun, please don't make such a joke. Our classes start shortly—let's head back to the classroom right away." "What's the hurry? We won't miss class at all." Lu Yun smiled, knowing that Shi Yu wouldn't believe him. After all, nothing ever goes exactly as planned—right now, he was giving her a huge surprise. "Shi Yu, I'm telling you this seriously. From now on, this convenience store will be mine—Lu Yun. And you, you'll truly become the store's manager, won't you? Oh, and Xiao Ying, Xiao Yu, Dan Dan, and the others—hey, all of you will be the store's managers too! Well, there's a bed in the inner room, right? Shi Yu, shall we go celebrate my sudden promotion to store owner before class starts?" "Locked the door, Lu Yun caught Shi Yu and said, 'Wife, I'm telling you everything I've said is true—why won't you believe me?' Shi Yu smiled as she walked, saying, 'I believe you. Look at you—how serious are you making it?' Lu Yun chuckled, 'If I don't even have my own wife believe me, how successful must I be at living?' Shi Yu gave Lu Yun a look that said 'you're ridiculous,' and asked, 'But how did your small convenience store suddenly become yours? That middle-aged man was the owner before, wasn't he?' 'Yes,' Lu Yun nodded. 'I'll tell you all about it when I get back to my classroom. Let's hurry—we're going to be late.' After they returned to the classroom, Shi Yu immediately asked questions. Lu Yun glanced at the teacher standing at the podium and then whispered, telling her the whole story. Shi Yu was stunned, her mouth open, unable to speak for a moment. 'Shi Yu, what's wrong?' Lu Yun asked." "Lu Yun, where did you get all this money? I hope you're not doing anything illegal," Shiyu said with growing concern, just as Ling Xiaoman had thought—she was worried about the origin of the money Lu Yun was holding. After a series of explanations, Shiyu finally felt reassured, even though Lu Yun's account sounded somewhat mysterious, she couldn't find any grounds to challenge it. Lu Yun nodded casually. If it came to exams, he did feel a bit nervous, but with Wang Dabao and the others trailing behind in the class rankings, the last place was definitely not his to claim. Sitting on his chair, thinking about the convenience store, he already had a clear plan by the time the bell for class ended. "Shiyu, wait here with me—I'm going to the convenience store." As he spoke to Shiyu, who was about to stand up and leave the classroom, Lu Yun rushed over to Liang Hongyu, whispered a few words, and then Liang and Feiyan stepped out together. "Alright! Now it's time to open up and start doing business—let's earn some money!" At Shiyu's side, Lu Yun shouted enthusiastically, pulling her hand without hesitation and leading her straight toward the convenience store. "Ah! Even though Shiyu is so fresh and delicate, like a tender cabbage, she's still being pushed aside by this young Lu Yun," Wang Dabao sighed, looking at the pair of them leaving hand-in-hand, his heart full of unyielding disappointment. … Li Yun and Shi Yu reached the front of the convenience store, where a crowd of students had already gathered. During the break of the previous class, the middle-aged man had not sold any goods, which had frustrated the students terribly. Now, seeing the store locked tight, several students grew impatient—some even picked up concrete blocks and prepared to smash through the iron door and lock. At this point, Lu Yun had already gained a good reputation among students at the school. This boy seemed somewhat familiar. As Lu Yun approached, he pulled out his key to open the door and said, "Heh, I think I've seen you before. Oh, by the way, back when you stole items from Liu's aunt, we had a good fight right nearby—hey!" The boy's face changed instantly, stammering, "That incident is long over—why are you still bringing it up? We've already been thoroughly beaten up by you!" "No hard feelings at all," Lu Yun replied. "From today on, I'm the owner of this convenience store. Heh, I'll really appreciate your continued support and business!" Lu Yun opened the door and invited Shi Yu to follow him inside. Now Lu Yun is the owner of this convenience store? The students were all stunned by Lu Yun's words, but it had little to do with them—as long as there was something to buy and snacks to eat, who cared who the owner was? The only exception was that young man who had come specifically to take advantage and eat for free. Now that Lu Yun had become the store's owner, the other young men who shared his mindset found themselves in trouble. They had hoped that the rather foolish middle-aged man would be able to run the store indefinitely, allowing them to enjoy a steady supply of food and supplies for years. But now it seemed that while their hopes were bright, reality was cold and unforgiving. From now on, they'd have to pay for everything—how could they possibly dare to steal from someone who didn't even regard the village of Ying Zha as anything more than a passing reference?
