Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

The conflict between father and son erupted in an instant.

Chen Lu, who had a mild personality and never had a rebellious phase as a child, unexpectedly began to refute his father during his college years, due to the blows he suffered from Su Xiaoxi's side.

He even questioned his own parents so strongly.

This was an extremely bad signal for Chen Pingsheng.

Fortunately, Su Xiaoxi was a girl with good character. If she were someone with ulterior motives, she could easily manipulate Chen Lu around her finger.

But now, the situation was clear: Su Xiaoxi felt unworthy to be with Chen Lu, likely said some harsh words.

This is what made Chen Lu's mindset somewhat collapse.

For a guy Chen Lu's age, encountering such things is actually quite normal.

After all, he had never faced any setbacks since childhood, but now it seems that this blow was a bit too big.

Compared to himself, the pressure on Su Xiaoxi's side must be even greater.

Chen Pingsheng pretty much understood this young girl, a bit stubborn, and quite principled.

She probably wanted to rely on herself to repay that billion or more in funds.

Chen Lu now had a bit of a rebellious mindset, thinking it was his father who forced Su Xiaoxi to leave.

He further believed that even if he had no money, he wouldn't be without someone who liked him.

He wanted to prove to his father that he wasn't worthless, that he also had his own strengths.

Since the silly boy was being foolish, he could only rely on himself to figure it out slowly.

The unhappy Chen Lu called Chang Dalin and Gao Feng to drink together.

The three of them went out together in the evening to a top-notch bar.

Chen Lu seemed to want to anesthetize himself with alcohol, to forget the words Su Xiaoxi said to him.

The bar was dazzling with colorful lights.

People nodding and shaking their heads seemed to be indulging their desires with the help of alcohol.

Some men slipped their hands into women's pants, while some seductive women used enchanting dance moves to get men to stuff money into their bras.

The adult bar was inherently a double stimulation of passion and desire.

Chang Dalin loved coming to such places, while Gao Feng was okay with it, as his father wasn't very wealthy now.

He couldn't compare to Chang Fu, let alone the powerful wealth of Chen Lu's father.

"Hey Chen Lu, why are you willing to come to the bar with us today?"

"Why ask that nonsense, can't I just want to drink?"

"Okay, okay, you never come to the bar, did you have a fight with Su Xiaoxi again?"

"No, she just doesn't want me anymore."

"There must be limits to your bullshit. With your father's capabilities, which woman in the world wouldn't want you?"

Chang Dalin laughed heartily.

"Can you not mention my dad, why do you all connect everything to my dad? Without my dad, could it be that I couldn't even find a girlfriend?"

"Finding a girlfriend is easy, but finding a beautiful woman is not. You kid must have forgotten about Shen Xi, do you know how famous she is at the neighboring university?"

Chang Dalin said enviously, "She's truly a little princess from a real wealthy family, skilled in every art, speaks three foreign languages better than Mandarin. If it weren't for you having a good dad, would she have waited there for you? You should cherish your luck, considering how many rich second-generation guys are after Shen Xi?"

The more they talked like this, the less Chen Lu wanted to accept Shen Xi.

This is probably the common rebellious psychology of boys, always wanting to go against their parents.

"Since Shen Xi is so great, why don't you chase her?"

"I would like to, but do you think I dare?"

Chang Dalin said, "She is the good daughter-in-law your mother arranged for you. If I chased her, my mom would kill me first, and my dad would drag me home and hang me for three days. I'm telling you, you shouldn't put all your thoughts on Su Xiaoxi. Look at Shen Xi, she's flawless, you never even seemed to care about her feelings while sticking to Su Xiaoxi every day."

Chen Lu seemed to recall the three years Shen Xi accompanied him overseas, she was indeed quite great.

But he kept wondering if Shen Xi would really like him without his dad.

The answer is: No.

Just because of this, he always resisted feeling fond of Shen Xi.

Another main reason was that he really liked Su Xiaoxi.

He liked her to the point that a clear rejection from her caused him to have a rebellious mindset towards his parents.

It's just hard to understand.

The more Chen Lu drank, the more he drank, and Chang Dalin even called some online influencer girls to join them.

He loved playing, and with family assets not less than tens of billions, he was naturally very popular among beauties.

He even wanted to arrange a woman for Chen Lu, but Chen Lu didn't refuse, nor did he show any interest.

An influencer asked him, which company's young master are you?

Chen Lu directly said, you misunderstood, my dad is an unemployed vagabond.

The girl didn't believe him and said anyone drinking with Mr. Chang is not ordinary.

Chen Lu just said, I am just his college friend, here to bum drinks.

The girl asked if they drove luxury cars to university.

He said no, he just rides a bicycle.

With these question and answers, in a matter of minutes, the little beauty moved to sit beside Gao Feng.

Women who frequent bars are easily approachable, provided there is money.

Even if you don't have money, you should at least pretend you have some.

Being so straightforward, it's no wonder no girl stays.

This reminded Chen Lu of his father's saying, without having a good start in life, no beauty would fancy him.

Regardless of the truth, such words were quite hurtful to his self-esteem.

The drinking continued until eleven, when Chang Dalin left with two little beauties to check into a hotel.

As long as you spend enough money, anything with mother and daughter flowers can be played with.

He was never into playing the innocent game, and Gao Feng was influenced by him, playing together for quite some time.

Chen Lu didn't like this, and left the bar to be driven home by the chauffeur.

He no longer wanted to live with his parents and desired his own private space.

The next day, he asked the family butler to buy him a small apartment outside the university.

The butler's understanding of a small apartment was completely different from his own.

More than 400 square meters, living alone there, it was so big that it even scared him a bit, needing people to manage it.

He intended to buy another smaller one himself, something just over a hundred square meters would suffice.

Regardless of whether he was willing or not, his parents always provided materially without any complaints.

From childhood to adulthood, they gave him the best.

He almost always got what he wanted, except for Su Xiaoxi.

At present, he still didn't quite understand Su Xiaoxi, even found it hard to comprehend from his own perspective.

He thought he was abandoned.

Maybe it was because he was useless, or perhaps she ultimately chose money.

Anyway, he felt abandoned.

He came up with a lot of reasons, anything would do.

The next day, Chen Lu received a call from his sister Er Piya.
