【Reading the Latest Chapter】 Shi Yu was left confused by Lu Yun's words. How could it be that in just a blink of an eye, Lu Yun had become the owner of this convenience store? Had the middle-aged man suddenly lost his bearings and, without any reason, decided to gift the store to Lu Yun? At this moment, Shi Yu couldn't even imagine that Lu Yun would have enough cash to buy out this small convenience store. With a cold expression, Shi Yu said with displeasure, "Lu Yun, don't make such a joke. We're about to have class—let's hurry back to the classroom." "What's the hurry? We won't miss class," Lu Yun smiled, knowing that Shi Yu wouldn't believe him. After all, life is full of surprises, and this was precisely one that Lu Yun was preparing for Shi Yu. "Shi Yu, I'm serious. From now on, this 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—well, all of you will be the store's managers too. Hehe. There's even a bed in the inner room. Shi Yu, shall we go to the bed and celebrate my sudden transformation into a small business owner before class starts?" Shi Yu watched Lu Yun looking so much like a nouveau riche, instantly feeling a chill and scolding, "I don't have time to chat with you—I'm heading back to class now!" Just then, the class bell rang. Lu Yun sighed, tapping his forehead, murmuring, "Man, maybe we've been doing this 'nouveau riche' thing so long that even now, when we try to show off, no one believes us anymore?" He locked the door and caught up with Shi Yu, saying, "Honey, I'm telling you everything is true—why won't you believe me?" “Shi Yu walked and chuckled, saying, ‘I believe you now. Didn’t you seem overly anxious?’ Lu Yun chuckled and replied, ‘If even my own wife doesn’t believe me, how could I possibly be considered a success?’ On hearing this, Shi Yu gave Lu Yun a look of mock annoyance and asked, ‘But I’d like to know—how did your small convenience store suddenly become yours? That middle-aged man was the owner before, wasn’t he?’ ‘Hmm,’ Lu Yun nodded, ‘I’ll tell you all about it when I get back to my classroom. Hurry up—we’re going to be late.’ Once they reached the classroom, Shi Yu immediately began pressing for details. Lu Yun glanced at the teacher standing at the podium and then lowered his voice to recount the entire story. Shi Yu was speechless, her mouth wide open, staring at Lu Yun as if he had just spoken magic. ‘Shi Yu, what’s wrong?’ “Lu Yun asked, ‘Lu Yun, where did you get all this money? Don’t you do anything illegal, please!’” Shi Yu said anxiously, just as Ling Xiaoman had been thinking—she was concerned about the origin of the money Lu Yun held. After a series of explanations, Shi Yu finally felt reassured. Though Lu Yun’s story sounded somewhat mysterious, she couldn’t find any reason to challenge it. Just as Lu Yun witnessed this scene, he quickly stepped in to stop it. Today was his very first day as the store owner, opening business officially—how could he let such a disappointing moment happen? The young man turned around, saw Lu Yun, and without thinking, threw the brick he was holding onto the ground. He spoke in a low, frustrated tone: "That awful man never opens the store—he's deliberately making us suffer. Lu Yun, when you used to run this little convenience store, Mrs. Liu was still here. Now she's gone, and the store has changed hands. I'm not doing this because of you." "There's no other intention—starting today, I'm the owner of this convenience store, hehe. I'll really appreciate it if you all keep me well-served in the future," Lu Yun opened the door and invited Shi Yu to walk in together. Lu Yun has become the owner of this convenience store? The students listening were all stunned, but it didn't really matter to them—as long as there was something to buy and snacks to eat, who cared who was the owner? The only exception was that young man who had just arrived—he had come specifically to take advantage and enjoy free meals. Now that Lu Yun has become the owner, the other young men who shared the same mindset found themselves in trouble. They had hoped that the rather foolish middle-aged man would be able to keep running the store for years, allowing them to enjoy long-term free access to food and supplies. But now, it seemed that while their hopes were bright, reality was cold and unforgiving. From now on, they would have to pay for everything—how could they possibly dare to steal anything from someone who didn't even consider the village of Lian Ying as a priority? Business has been just as bustling as before. The small store is crowded with people, and Lu Yun suddenly thought to himself: perhaps it's time he secured a larger house to serve as a storefront.
